“Hahaha—”

Lu Zhou, who was already enjoying the show, laughed unkindly.

Shangguan Dian rolled his eyes at him and hurriedly drank the tea.

The King of Hades suppressed his laughter and explained, “This thing is called chili. This tabasco pepper is usually used as seasoning.”

When Chu Sihan heard that, he finally remembered where he had seen this thing before.

Lu Sheng usually liked to add this when she was cooking, especially when she was cooking crayfish.

“So it’s for seasoning?”

Shangguan Dian hissed again and suddenly narrowed his eyes.

He glared at Lu Zhou and asked, “Did you already know about this?”

“I saw that you wanted to try, so I can only fulfill your wish.”

Seeing him shrug and put on an innocent expression, Shangguan Dian gritted his teeth angrily.

The King of Hades and Chu Sihan smiled faintly.

“When did the Lord come?”

On the other side, Lu Sheng, who heard Lu Zhou’s laughter, had just washed her hands and was about to join in the fun. However, when she turned around, she saw Chu Sihan, who was sitting beside the King of Hades.

“Not long ago.”

Chu Sihan stood up and pulled her to sit. Then, he sat down.

“Master smiled very happily just now. Did something good happen?”

“Isn’t that so?”

Lu Zhou smiled and said, “How can it not be funny that your Uncle Shangguan treats tabasco pepper as a fruit?”

Lu Sheng looked at Shangguan Dian in shock. However, when she saw his aggrieved face, she did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Uncle Demon King, this is for seasoning. It’s not a fruit pepper.”

Even she, who liked spicy food, did not dare to eat it raw. She would only dare to eat it after soaking it.

“Your master clearly knows that this thing is spicy, but he still said that he hasn’t eaten it before.”

Wasn’t he obviously trying to laugh at him? He was too much!

Lu Zhou hurriedly explained, “I just wanted him to suffer a little. Don’t stuff it into his mouth every time he sees something.”

After laughing softly, Lu Sheng hurriedly asked about the situation of Xian Jing and Xian Ya.

“Brother Bailian is awake. He went back and testified. Your Uncle-Master has also been confirmed to be innocent. Now, Quiet Peak is under his jurisdiction. As for Xian Jing and his sister, their immortal powers have been expended and they have already been kicked out of the Five Peaks because they used living humans to refine puppets.”

Lu Zhou explained to her.

Upon hearing their fate, Lu Sheng only sneered.

As the saying goes, evil cannot suppress good. After doing such a heartless thing, they had already benefited from their immortal powers being expended and them being kicked out of the Five Peaks.

“Little niece, what were you doing over there just now?”

Shangguan Dian felt that Lu Sheng must be planting something delicious again.

“Oh, I was planting pumpkins just now. There’s also corn that I haven’t planted yet.”

Shangguan Dian did not know what pumpkins and corn were, but from the name, he knew that they were definitely food.

“I still have some matters to attend to below, so I won’t stay any longer.”

After speaking to Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian, the King of Hades looked at Chu Sihan and said, “Han Er, inform me and your mother when the date is set. I’ll go back first.”

Chu Sihan nodded slightly.

“Lu Sheng, Uncle will leave first.”

Lu Sheng nodded. “Uncle King of Hades, take care!”

After sending off the King of Hades, Lu Sheng pulled Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian to help farm the land. She and Chu Sihan planted corn.

Seeing that they were busy, Lan Yi also ran over. Lu Ran wanted to follow them too, but Leya suddenly came to visit during this period, so Lu Sheng asked him to accompany her.

“Disciple, why don’t you give the others a break?”

With some people around, it would be difficult for them to cast spells. Their efficiency would be too low.

“Master, don’t always rely on immortal techniques. You have to exercise more usually. After all, your body is that of a mortal. If you don’t exercise for a long time, you will suffer from muscle atrophy.”

Lu Zhou was speechless.

With his immortal powers nourishing this body, how could his muscles wither?

In his opinion, this little girl deliberately wanted them to farm.

“Didn’t you go to the fields often in your previous life? Master, I realized that you’ve become lazy ever since you came to this world.”

She remembered that in her previous life, her master even sewed his own clothes. He was so virtuous.

“Can this really be planted?”

Looking at the wrinkled seeds that resembled rice grains, Shangguan Dian was very doubtful.

Lu Sheng explained, “This is sweet corn. Although its seed is wrinkled, it can be planted.”

In her previous life, Lu Sheng liked to plant this kind of corn the most. Not only did it taste good when cooked, but it was also delicious when used to make bone soup.

“When can we eat it?” Shangguan Dian asked again.

Lu Sheng thought for a while and replied, “About three months.”

When she planted them in her previous life, three months was just right.

Although Lan Yi liked farming, he was not interested in these things. Compared to these, he preferred meat.

“Your Uncle King of Hades bought these two seeds?” Lu Zhou asked with his eyebrows raised.

Lu Sheng shook her head. “Not only those. There are also others. We’ll continue planting tomorrow and the day after.”

“Where are the watermelon seeds I gave you? Didn’t you plant some?”

“Yes, the plants from before should be blooming in the next few days. There’s still a batch that hasn’t reached the time to be transplanted.”

“Yes.” Lu Zhou nodded. “Let your Lord Chu and Uncle Shangguan try it later.”

When Shangguan Dian heard that, he hurriedly said, “I want to be the first to taste it.”

Chu Sihan glanced at him lightly and did not speak. However, his gaze at Lu Sheng was a bit aggrieved.

How could he not be the first to taste what the girl planted?

However, Shangguan Dian was an elder. He could not snatch from him openly.

After all, he was not close enough to Shangguan Dian that he could ignore him like he was with Lu Zhou.

Lu Sheng hurriedly whispered into his ear, “Don’t worry, I’ll let you try all the delicious food first.”

Chu Sihan nodded in satisfaction, but there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes when he looked at her.

He lowered his head and whispered into her ear, “There’s nothing tastier than you here!”

Lu Sheng’s expression paused and she rolled her eyes at him.

She snorted coldly and decided to ignore him for now.

Chu Sihan ignored the doubtful gazes of the people around him and continued digging holes to plant corn happily.

As there were enough bamboo houses, not only did Lu Zhou and the rest stay, but even Chu Sihan did too.

Lu Sheng did not stop them. There were a lot of things to plant recently. If one more person stayed, it meant that there was an additional source of labor. Naturally, she welcomed them.

Hence, for the next few days, Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian were very depressed.

Early in the morning, they had just finished their breakfast and did not have time to rest before they were chased to the fields.

Compared to them, Chu Sihan and Lan Yi were much happier.

One of them was happy because he could stay by his loved one’s side while the other was purely because he liked farming.

“It’s not easy to earn a living these days!” Shangguan Dian held the rake and sighed helplessly.

Lu Zhou glanced at him lightly and sneered. “You ate the most and did the least. How dare you sigh?”

Shangguan Dian basically stopped for a while after using the rake twice. When he worked with him, even he could not help but feel lazy.

“I, the mighty Demon King, didn’t expect to fall to such a state one day for food!”

Shangguan Dian shook his head and sighed before continuing to rake the ground slowly.

“What’s this?”

Shangguan Dian looked at the tapioca that was as big as his arm curiously.

Lu Sheng explained, “This is tapioca. It can be steamed and eaten. However, it’s more interesting to make something else.”

“What’s that?” Even Chu Sihan could not help but be curious.

He knew that his father had brought these items back from the space-time dimension where Lu Sheng was previously.

“Make them into tapioca and use them to make pearls. Put some in when you’re cooking milk tea and you can drink pearl milk tea!”

“Pearl milk tea?”

Shangguan Dian threw down the rake in his hand and walked eagerly to Lu Sheng.

“Little niece, will Uncle be able to eat that pearl milk tea in his lifetime?”

Lu Sheng was speechless.

These things could be eaten in a few months. He actually asked if he could eat them in his lifetime?

“I want to drink too,” said Lan Yi faintly.

Lu Sheng was silent for a while before asking Chu Sihan, “Lord, do you want to drink?”

Shangguan Dian’s and Lan Yi’s gazes immediately landed on him. One looked like he was begging, while the other looked expressionless. However, their eyes revealed nervousness, as if they were afraid that he would refuse.

Chu Sihan smiled faintly and said, “I’ll eat anything you cook.”

“Hah~”

Lu Zhou sneered. “What a biased girl.”

Why didn’t she ask him?

“Then, I’ll cook for you now.”

The ingredients in the Space Hairpin were all present. She was just too busy farming these few days to cook.

As for the cows in the Space Hairpin, she did not even know how to find an excuse to raise them.

It seemed like she had to ask Chu Sihan for help.

The items she took out were easily suspicious, but Chu Sihan was different.

In the eyes of the villagers, officials were omnipotent.

Lu Sheng threw the hoe aside and prepared to wash her hands and brew milk tea.

“Ah Zhou, have you drunk that pearl milk tea before?”

Shangguan Dian asked Lu Zhou expectantly.

“It’s alright. I find it alright, but you’ll definitely like it.”

Shangguan Dian ate everything, especially sweet things.

When he was in Huang Yang Town some time ago, he went to the Lu family’s restaurant to eat everyday. He ordered sweet and sour dishes almost every meal.

This made Lu Zhou feel nauseous when he saw the sweet and sour dishes.

When Shangguan Dian heard Lu Zhou’s words, he could not help but look forward to it.

Lu Zhou said it was alright. This meant it usually tasted delicious.

“Uncle-Master Lu, is the space-time dimension you used to live in really better than here?”

Chu Sihan pondered for a while before asking curiously.

Lu Zhou said lightly, “Of course. In that era, there were many unexpected things.”

He still remembered that when he first arrived in that space-time dimension, he was like a country bumpkin at the start, curious about this and that.

After living for some time, he slowly got used to it.

“What do you mean?”

Chu Sihan had really not been there. All these years, his father had gone there often, but he had not gone once.

Moreover, he was not interested in his other world in the past.

If not for meeting Lu Sheng, he would not have wanted to understand that space-time dimension.

That was because before this, those space-time dimensions were actually no different from theirs to him.

However, it was different now.

Because Lu Sheng kept saying that she missed the life in that space-time dimension.

“In that space-time dimension, not only are there many countries, but even people look different.”

“Why do people look different?”

Not only was Chu Sihan curious, but even Shangguan Dian and Lan Yi were as well.

“There are many countries. Other than that, people’s looks are different. There are yellow people, white people, and black people.”

“There are even different colors?”

Shangguan Dian scratched his head. “What kind of people are we then?”

Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow. “Of course we’re yellow.”

“Yellow people?”

Shangguan Dian stared at his glowing fair-skinned hand and questioned, “But we’re not black or yellow!”

Lu Zhou snorted coldly. “You’ll know when you have the chance to go to that space-time dimension.”

“Oh.”

Shangguan Dian replied, not fully understanding.

Lan Yi said, “Master, remember to bring me along when you return in the future.”

Lu Zhou snorted. “Don’t worry, you’ll be there.”

Lan Yi smiled and continued working.

Chu Sihan fell into deep thought.

“Have you seen mortals fly here?”

Lu Zhou threw the hoe aside and sat on the ground.

“Mortals can fly?”

The few of them questioned at the same time.

“You haven’t seen it here, right?” Lu Zhou smiled faintly. “However, in the space-time dimension where we live, mortals can fly in the sky.”

“So magical?” Lan Yi was also shocked.

Shangguan Dian pondered and said, “I’ve only seen something called a car. It’s very fast. I didn’t expect them to fly in the sky.”

Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows proudly. “Not only can they fly in the sky, but they can even swim in the water. Moreover, they can swim for a long time. About thirty to forty days.”

Shangguan Dian was shocked. “If mortals swim in the water for such a long time, won’t they suffocate?”

“They created something called a submarine. There’s enough oxygen and food inside.”

Chu Sihan raised an eyebrow. “Those that swim in the water are called submarines. What about those that fly in the sky? Airships?”

Lu Zhou was speechless.

“That’s called a plane. Of course, there’s another thing called a spacecraft. It can fly out of the Earth.”

Shangguan Dian was dumbfounded. “What’s Earth?”

Lu Zhou stomped the ground twice and Shangguan Dian looked at his feet in confusion.

Seeing that they did not understand, Lu Zhou explained helplessly, “The planet we live on now is Earth.”

“Planet?”

The more they listened, the more confused they became.

Lu Zhou couldn’t be bothered to explain further to them. Instead, he said lightly, “Anyway, you’ll know in the future. In that era, they didn’t believe in ghosts and deities and only believed in themselves. The things I said just now, including the phone I gave you, are called high-technology products.”

Humans always yearned for unfamiliar worlds and things. It was the same for ghosts and demons in other worlds.

Hence, after hearing Lu Zhou’s words, Chu Sihan, Shangguan Dian, and Lan Yi started to yearn for that strange and magical space-time dimension.

Lu Ran did not feel at ease these few days.

He stood not far away and looked at Chu Sihan, Lu Zhou, and the rest, who were wearing ragged clothes and carrying hoes. His heart raced.

Lu Sheng had been chasing him to find Leya these few days, while Lu Zhou, Chu Sihan, and the rest were being chased to the fields by Lu Sheng. How could he not be anxious?

If Lu Zhou and Chu Sihan were impatient, it would not be as simple as severing their master-disciple relationship and breaking off the engagement.

The Lu family would probably be finished!
