Lu Qianqiu and Lu Chuan walked together on the streets of Shengle City.

Lu Qianqiu led the way in front, always a few steps ahead of Lu Chuan.

Since leaving Qianqiu Inn, Lu Qianqiu hadn't said a word, walking in silence ahead of Lu Chuan.

Clearly, she had asked so many questions about herself during dinner, wanting to know more about her recent situation.

As long as she spoke, he would have the opportunity to tell her the truth and take advantage of it to complete the system's mission.

But if she remained silent, Lu Chuan himself wouldn't know how to start the conversation.

The sky was covered by thick clouds, with only a few stars shining lonely in the darkness. The stars in the sky emitted a faint light, while Shengle City was illuminated by countless lanterns, shining brightly.

Although there were fewer people than in the afternoon, there were still many people strolling in the bustling city, laughing and enjoying the liveliness of the streets.

The two of them walked in silence for twenty minutes and finally arrived at Lu Qianqiu's residence in the north of Shengle City.

The residence was still located in the city center, but this area was mostly residential, making it relatively quiet.

Pushing open the gate, Lu Qianqiu turned to Lu Chuan and smiled, saying, "Mr. Mengqing, this is my humble abode. Please don't find it distasteful."

The courtyard-style residence covered an area of five to six hundred square meters. The reception hall was magnificent, with various exquisite wood carvings and stone sculptures placed on the table. A pearl hung high above the roof, and sandalwood tables and chairs were arranged in the center of the hall, displaying luxury without losing elegance.

This luxurious mansion in the city center must cost several million Spirit Stones... No, considering these decorations and renovation costs, it might even be over a billion Spirit Stones.

Calculating the cost of a house upon seeing it was a bad habit Lu Chuan had from his previous life.

In his previous life on Blue Star, he had carefully calculated that ordinary people would have to work for at least several decades to afford a house in a second-tier city.

This young and beautiful girl, Lu Qianqiu, actually bought a courtyard in the city center of Shengle City. She was truly wealthy.

The Lu family was also quite wealthy. Perhaps he could fulfill the dreams he hadn't accomplished in his previous life with the help of the family.

Just kidding.

The Lu family had many members, complicated relationships, and family conflicts were too troublesome. It was more convenient to refine pills and sell them for money than to ask the family for money.

Lu Chuan replied, "There's no such thing as finding it distasteful. This place is much better than the inn. Thank you for your generosity, Boss Lu."

"You really know how to flatter. The guest rooms are over there, and the bathroom is to the west. I just remembered that I have something to do. See you later."

"You're busy, Boss Lu."

Seeing Lu Qianqiu return to the main room, Lu Chuan went to the guest room.

Lu Qianqiu said they would meet later, so he would complete the mission when they met again.

The room had the same decoration style as the reception hall, with a large bed placed in the middle.

Sitting on the bed, Lu Chuan felt surprised.

"This bed is too soft!"

It couldn't compare to the bed at the Sect Master Peak. It must have cost a fortune. The little maid had truly become a big boss.

Lying on the soft bed, Lu Chuan began to think about how to complete the mission without angering Lu Qianqiu when they met later.

Because the original work did not specifically describe the details.

But Lu Chuan still remembers how she abandoned Lu Qianqiu in the past and what she said when she entered the secular world.

Basically, it was said that Lu Qianqiu did not have the talent for cultivation, and joining the Immortal Gate was embarrassing for herself. She was left to fend for herself in the secular world.

But Lu Qianqiu misunderstood, misinterpreted her intentions at the time.

Otherwise, the system wouldn't have triggered the task of making Lu Qianqiu realize that she had been abandoned.

It was late at night, and Lu Chuan waited in the hall for Lu Qianqiu for half an hour, but she didn't show up.

But the main room was still lit, and it was obvious that Lu Qianqiu was not asleep.

"Is she still busy with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce?"

The optimal time to complete the task is tomorrow morning, when they will meet with the members of the Qianqiu Inn and the Immortal Gate.

She just said she would see me later, she couldn't have forgotten already, right?

The evening breeze brought a hint of restlessness. Lu Chuan remembered that Lu Qianqiu had mentioned that there was a bathroom in the residence and she was going to take a bath.

The hot spring-style bathroom was spacious. Lu Chuan soaked in the bath alone, enjoying the comfortable feeling of the warm water moisturizing his body.

Even in the cultivation world, Lu Chuan could feel the same sensation as soaking in a hot spring on Blue Star, which he found quite strange.

The atmosphere of Shengle City, or perhaps the atmosphere of an ordinary city, felt similar to that of Blue Star.

If everything settles down and he successfully leaves the Immortal Gate, it wouldn't be bad to find a place to settle in an ordinary city.

Suddenly, the surrounding lights went out, and the door to the bathroom opened.

"Young Master, I haven't bathed yet. Shall we do it together?"

"Boss Lu? What are you doing..." Lu Chuan panicked.

Before Lu Chuan could refuse, Lu Qianqiu walked straight into the bath and sat face to face with Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan heard the sound of something being poured into the water.

The dark clouds outside receded, revealing the round moon in the sky. The stars no longer seemed lonely, and the bathroom was illuminated to some extent.

As a cultivator, Lu Chuan could see the beauty in front of him clearly in the dim light.

Although she was wrapped in a large bath towel, covering the important parts, she still looked very attractive overall.

Lu Chuan wanted to divert attention by speaking.

"Boss Lu, what are you doing?"

Lu Qianqiu stared at Lu Chuan, their eyes meeting.

Steam filled the bathroom, moistening Lu Qianqiu's beautiful long hair, and crystal-clear water droplets dripped from her delicate and smooth shoulders. A blush appeared on her delicate and charming cheeks.

"There can't be anyone else here. It's just the two of us in the entire residence."

Lu Qianqiu raised her arm and gently touched Lu Chuan's face with one hand.

The water surface was no longer calm, and the smooth and tender hand felt slightly warmer than the temperature of the bath.

"Do you really like this face, Young Master Lu Chuan?"
