Chapter 21: Daily Life of the Remarried Dragon Girl (Part 2)
Lu Ren blinked: "Bai...Bai Ze?"
Master Bai Ze straightened his clothes amid the nurse's screams. Although he was just a white goat without clothes, he still stubbornly used his front hooves to tidy up the hair on his forehead.
"Ahem..." Perhaps in order to repair his majestic image, Bai Ze said to the nurse who was still in shock: "It's time for the patient to take the medicine. Come with me to boil the medicine." Then he slipped out of the ward like a flash.
The nurse quickly responded, "Yes." and followed Bai Ze in a daze.
Only Yinglong, Lu Ren and Lu Qingzhou were left in the ward. Except for Lu Ren, the other two were strangely silent, and a suffocating atmosphere spread in the ward.
In order to ease the embarrassment, Lu Ren spoke first: "Team Leader Lu, what you just said about helping to take back the Lihuo, you see..."
Lu Qingzhou did not reply, he just stretched out his hand. Then Lu Ren saw a beam of fire flying from his head to Lu Qingzhou's hand.
Lu Ren's vision suddenly darkened. He knew that Lu Qingzhou had taken back the Lihuo. Before he could be happy, he heard Lu Qingzhou say, "Thank you for that day."
Lu Ren knew he was talking about what happened on the day of the ghost market, so he quickly waved his hand to show that you’re welcome: “I didn’t do anything, it was Jiao Jiao’s cousin who dispersed the backflowing Guixu water with her tail. Luckily, we were lucky, Jiao Jiao’s cousin is a Kun.”
Lu Qingzhou thought he was being modest and shook his head: "Kun hasn't appeared in the world for hundreds of years. If you hadn't called her out, not only you and me, but the entire Ghost Market would have become history."
The Ghost Market is located at the corner between the North Sea and the present world. It is a gap in time and space that has existed for thousands of years. The sudden backflow of Guixu is not something that a place in such a delicate balance of time and space can withstand.
Lu Qingzhou stared at Lu Ren, and for the first time, Lu Ren discovered that Lu Qingzhou's pair of black eyes were not completely black upon closer inspection, but revealed a hint of blue.
Lu Qingzhou said sincerely: "Thank you."
Lu Ren also replied seriously: "You're welcome."
The atmosphere became relaxed, and Lu Ren was no longer as reserved as before. He looked curiously at Ying Long who was sitting on the sofa like a master, and asked in confusion: "Excuse me, Ying Long, aren't you going to check on your cousin? She didn't look well just now."
Ying Long answered nonchalantly, "She'll be fine." But seeing Lu Ren's worried face, he condescended to explain, "She just ended her third marriage last year. She'll be fine in a few days."
Lu Ren actually had a relatively good understanding of the Dragon Girl's marriage history. Of course, this was all thanks to Jun Fang's popular science.
The first marriage of the Dragon Girl was hundreds of years ago. She met a scholar named Liu Sheng who was going to Beijing to take the imperial examination. They met by chance, fell in love, and promised to spend their lives together. The old Dragon King was so angry that the cabbage he had worked so hard to grow was taken away by a human, so he staged a classic scene of breaking up a couple. In the end, they did not break up, and their love became stronger than gold. After all, she was his daughter, and he could not really make things difficult for her, so he acquiesced.
As a result, the Dragon Girl and Yagyu only lived happily for twenty years before Yagyu died of old age.
The Dragon Girl cried so hard that she almost died. It took her a hundred years to regain her spirits. The Dragon King was very happy and told everyone he met: "I was just thinking of a solution, but he himself failed. It's not my fault."
In her second marriage , she learned to be smarter. She wanted to find a man with a long life. Coincidentally, she met a mountain spirit from a small place while traveling. Although he was poor, he was really good to her before marriage. So the dragon girl married him with a generous dowry. As a result, the spirit changed his face on the spot after marriage. He spent a hundred years using the dragon girl's dowry to improve his cultivation. When the dragon girl's natural talents and treasures were used up, he drove the dragon girl out and got together with a wild fox from nowhere.
The dragon girl picked up her sword and cut off the monster's ears, then returned to Weishui with the divorce letter.
When it came to her third marriage, the Dragon Girl thought that it would be a good idea to find a man of equal status, so she accepted the arranged marriage of the old Dragon King . It only lasted for a short three hundred years before they divorced due to irreconcilable conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. In the words of the Dragon Girl, "It has been more than 70 years since the founding of the country, and his mother is still living in the Qing Dynasty."
In short, things are not going well.
The sad dragon girl ran away from home and went to live with her cousin who was a civil servant in a big city. However, she happened to meet a violent anti-law fighter who took her hostage.
It was at that time that Lu Qingzhou saved her. At that moment, the dragon girl fell in love again and pursued Lu Qingzhou madly.
Yinglong concluded: "Too reckless, always getting a bloody head."
Lu Ren blurted out, "I think she's very brave." Ying Long and Lu Qingzhou looked at him at the same time. Lu Ren realized belatedly that he had said what was in his heart, so he had to explain, "Although she has failed many times, she is still willing to try to love someone again and again. I think that's amazing."
Love may be a very abstract word. We once had expectations for love, but these expectations were shattered as we grew older. Most people would close their hearts and lock themselves in love, never to return. This is what is called "a wise man does not fall in love". But there are always "fools" who are willing to fall again and again, and then get up. They will not give up planting seeds because they are afraid that they will not bear the desired fruits. This requires courage, and most people do not have such courage.
For such "fools", Lu Ren sincerely hopes that the seeds they have diligently watered will bloom into the flowers they want.
"Love is a beautiful thing. She did nothing wrong. She just had bad luck and met someone who didn't know what she was talking about." Lu Ren just realized that he had scolded Lu Qingzhou as well. He quickly made up for it: "I didn't say what Team Leader Lu meant. Of course, these things can't be wishful thinking."
Seeing that Lu Qingzhou and Yinglong did not respond, Lu Ren immediately stepped aside and said, "I have other plans next, so I'll take my leave today." Of the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best, and the best way is to leave this embarrassing situation as soon as possible.
When Lu Ren opened the door, he saw Long Nu standing outside, who had been listening for a long time. There seemed to be tears in her eyes, and she seemed surprised by Lu Ren's sudden opening of the door, but she quickly stood up and regained her composure.
The dragon girl smiled at Lu Ren and then extended her hand to him. So Lu Ren followed her instructions and shook hands with her in a friendly manner. As they shook hands, Lu Ren heard the dragon girl's smiling voice: "I didn't expect you to be a good person. From now on, I will be your stepmother with great reluctance."
Lu Ren: ???
What? What mother? What stepmother?
I treat you as a cute girl, but you secretly want to be my mother?
