A beauty at the Door

Although he could transmigrate at any time and he had prepared all the tools he needed, Lu Zheng still felt uneasy at the thought of having to fight against a supernatural being.

"Actually, I already know where the ghost is staying. I could have gone to Baiyun Temple to tell Master Mingzhang."

The target was clear, and Scholar Wang's family background was obviously not bad. If Master Mingzhang saved his life, he would definitely be heavily rewarded. He could also prove his ability and the temple would become more prosperous.

"But, I'm actually reluctant to give up the corpse ghost's energy?"

The six rays of light of providence had greatly improved Lu Zheng's physical fitness. He had even become an expert in sword-fighting.

How could he give up on this feeling?

"Forget it. I'll try it myself first. If I can't handle it, I'll go to Baiyun Temple for help."

"Besides, the corpse ghost had its eyes on Scholar Wang, so it might not come for me. I shouldn't go to it, right?"

For a moment, Lu Zheng was weighing the pros and cons.

He didn't dare to attack, but he also couldn't bear to give up the gain in the light of providence.

...

After bringing the items back to the great Jing dynasty, Lu Zheng prepared for dinner.

He had only eaten half of his meal when the protective amulet in his arms began to heat up.

It's here!

Lu Zheng's pupils contracted.

"Dong Dong Dong!"

There was a knock on the door.

"Coming!" A voice came from the kitchen in the front yard. Uncle Li walked out quickly. "Who is it?"

Uncle Li's movements were quick. Lu Zheng was just about to stop him when he opened the door with a creak.

"Young lady, who are you?"

At this moment, the heat from the amulet in Lu Zheng's arms disappeared.

Its evil intentions disappeared?

Lu Zheng was relieved to hear Uncle Li's faint voice from outside the door. It seemed that it had no intention of harming him.

Lu Zheng put down his chopsticks and calmed himself down. Of course, he was not in the mood to eat anymore.

A moment later, Uncle Li came to the main hall.

"Who is it? What's going on?"

"Young master, there is a young lady outside who is in trouble" Uncle Li said, "her family moved to Tonglin County, but they were attacked by bandits on the way. Only one guard protected her and she escaped. The guard was seriously injured and died yesterday."

"Now that she has no one, she happened to be walking in front of our door. Smelling the fragrance of rice, she was extremely hungry and asked for a bowl of rice. "

"Just a bowl of rice?"

"If you can take her in for a month, she will pay you a hundred gold. If not, she'd be grateful to have a bowl of rice."

Uncle Li took a step forward and whispered, "young master, I've taken a look. That girl has a good figure, looks like a fairy, and has a noble aura. She must be from a rich family. If you get along well..."

Oh, you're concerned about your young master's marriage?

Don't you know that you brought in a ghost?

Although he didn't know why the corpse ghost had changed its appearance and didn't even know if this woman was the same corpse ghost, the heat from the protective amulet was clearly felt. It was just hiding its evil thoughts.

"I'm actually hoping that it's the same corpse ghost. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle them!"

"Bring her in." Lu Zheng controlled his expression and tried his best to calm his racing heart.

"Please wait a moment!"

Uncle Li's face was full of smiles as he jogged back to the front door. Soon, he came back with a tall, voluptuous, and graceful woman.

She was wearing a light yellow flowery shirt and a skirt with willow leaves. The waist was tied with a light golden ribbon, which accentuated the curves of her chest and her waist.

When she walked, her chest swayed from left to right in a charming manner.

As she got closer, the woman finally revealed her face. She had crescent-shaped brows, glistening eyes, skin white as snow, and cherry lips.

In addition, there was a hint of arrogance in her reserved expression. Just looking at her was enough to arouse any man.

"Hello, young master!"

As she bent over, Lu Zheng saw her fair cleavage.

He gulped.

"Come in. Uncle Li, bring another chair over. Please take a seat." Lu Zheng suddenly became enthusiastic.

Of course, Lu Zheng's behavior was perfectly normal in the eyes of Uncle Li and the young lady.

"Many thanks, young master."

"You're welcome. I'm Lu Zheng. May I know how to address you, young lady?"

"My name is Su Yi. "

"That's a nice name."

"You are too kind. You look smart and accomplished." Su Yi complimented him.

Lu Zheng was on cloud nine.

He had Uncle Li bring a new set of chopsticks and bowl for Su Yi, and the way she ate was very elegant and proper. She did not forget her etiquette just because she was hungry, as expected of a daughter from a prestigious family.

It was just a meal, but Lu Zheng was trying to please her. Su Yi didn't reject him, it was clear that she had a good impression of him.

Uncle Li was secretly happy as he waited on them at the side. He thought that this would go well.

...

After the meal, Lu Zheng instructed Aunt Liu to clean up the room in the west wing and prepare the bedding. Then, he sent the two of them to bed.

"Tonight, no matter what you hear, you are not to come in."

"Young master, don't worry. We understand. We will be sleeping under the blanket tonight. No matter how loud you are, we will not be able to hear you."

Hearing Lu Zheng's instructions, Uncle Li had a knowing look.

Lu Zheng nodded with a half-smile, then turned around and closed the side door that connected the front and back courtyards.

He turned around and saw Su Yi leaning against the door of the room. When she saw Lu Zheng looking at her, she blushed and turned around to enter the room.

Lu Zheng chuckled before he slowly walked into his bedroom.

He closed the door and lit an oil lamp. Lu Zheng picked up a book of Confucian classics that he had bought but could not understand and pretended to read it.

"Should I go over or wait for her to come over?"

"Dong Dong."

A moment later, there was a knock on the door and the door was pushed open. Su Yi's beautiful figure appeared.

It seemed like someone was even more anxious than Lu Zheng.

"It's already night time, but you are still working hard?"

"The fire in my heart is too strong, so I can't sleep." Lu Zheng smiled awkwardly and bowed slightly.

Su Yi pursed her lips into a smile, her eyes were like silk as she gently raised her hand to gather her hair at her temple, then her hand moved down from her shoulder.

"I don't know how to repay your kindness, except with this body."

Lu Zheng's eyes lit up. "Is that true, young lady?"

"I hope you'll accept it."

Lu Zheng was happy beyond words. He got up, closed the door, and walked toward the bed.

"Young lady, please come in."

Seeing Lu Zheng walk towards the bed with an anxious expression, Su Yi's eyes were smiling as she entered the room.

Lu Zheng took two quick steps and reached the bed. He reached under the blanket.

At this moment, the moonlight was shining into the room and they looked like a perfect couple.
