But Jiang Lu had already scared Aunt Hong a little at this time, because she felt that this was really unrealistic, and she couldn't tell whether Jiang Lu was serious or was acting out of guilt, so she could only try every means to calm him down.
"Why don't you think about it again? It really doesn't matter to me."
"Damn it, that's why I can't feel at ease." Jiang Lu waved his hand and said, "You don't need to say more. I've made up my mind. Just be prepared to be filled with my stuff for the rest of your life."
This vulgar, elegant and extremely domineering oath struck Aunt Hong's heart directly.
Even the hope that had died long ago now showed signs of reviving and stirring.
"However... it's okay for me to be your mistress..." She calmed Jiang Lu's restless heart: "For a man like you, even if you have three wives and four concubines, outsiders can't find fault with you. Don't let me hurt your harmony."
Jiang Lu listened and was moved again.
He didn't know if it had any influence from [Absolute Truth], but after thinking about it, he decided that since things had come to this point, he might as well not keep it to himself.
"Don't worry about that. You won't be the boss anytime soon."
"Uh..." Although she was mentally prepared, Aunt Hong still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
But on second thought, this is already the best result, why bother worrying about what is big or small?
Besides, being a concubine to the Queen Mother of the West is not a loss of status.
Thinking of this, she stopped thinking about it and nodded: "Then wait for you to marry the Queen Mother of the West first, it doesn't matter if I go slowly."
"Who said the Queen Mother of the West is the boss?" Jiang Lu, the best man in the world and the number one romantic, obviously did not forget who is the boss in the family: "I actually already have a wife at home, she is from the Western Regions, and people respectfully call her the Goddess of Salvation."
"People from the Western Regions?" Aunt Hong was greatly surprised.
"Yes, he is a very gentle person." Jiang Lu couldn't help but sigh, his words full of happiness.
"So... you didn't want to marry someone else in the first place because you already had a wife?"
Aunt Hong suddenly realized: "You are also a gentle person."
"Yes, I have always been a person who respects pure love and will not easily betray my wife." Jiang Lu smiled and said, "As for the Queen Mother of the West, whether she can be successful or not is not worth mentioning. Even if she is successful, she will be ranked behind you."
"I...what have I done to deserve this?" Aunt Hong was so moved that her eyes filled with tears and she threw herself into Jiang Lu's arms.
"This is what you deserve." Jiang Lu stroked her head gently and asked, "If there is time, let me meet your parents."
"I..." Aunt Hong raised her head and said pitifully, "I don't have any parents. I have been in Fangzhu Mountain since I can remember?"
"Were you born in Fangzhu Mountain?"
"Not at all."
Aunt Hong shook her head and explained:
"I heard from my fellow disciples that my master picked me up and brought me back to Fangzhu Mountain. When my master found me, I was lying in a cave.
There were many wild animals lurking outside the cave at that time. She was curious and went into the cave to find out what was going on. She saw a red crane guarding me, who was still a baby. She thought I had a destiny to be an immortal, so she took me back to Fangzhu Mountain.
So for me, Master is my parents.”
"That's it."
After a pause, she continued:
"Oh, actually Aunt Hong only gave me a code name to facilitate my mission this time. My real name is Hong Yi, which comes from the red crane that carried me to my master and flew away. The code name symbolizes its color and shape. In a sense, it can be regarded as my savior."
"Hong Yi..." Jiang Lu said softly, "My name is Jiang Mubang...er...Jiang Lu."
"Jiang... Lu..." Hong Yi was in Jiang Lu's arms, with her ear leaning against his chest, whispering his name softly.
Jiang Lvze lowered his head and looked at Hong Yi's snow-white neck: "You really live up to your name. No wonder you are as graceful and charming as a crane."
Hong Yi sensed something and shyly lowered her arms around Jiang Lu: "Then, let your little crane serve you well..."
Chapter 311 Legal Identity
Noon, hotel restaurant.
"What's wrong with you?" The performer stared at the black cloth stuffed in Jiang Lu's mouth with a strange expression.
"Woo woo woo." Jiang Lu hummed incoherently and gestured with his hands.
Scythe calmly pushed a cup of tea over and said, "How about you write it down?"
Jiang Lu dipped his hand in water and wrote a few words on the table:
I'm doing the shut-up training.
After finishing writing, Jiang Lu felt sad.
If he couldn't control his mouth and was afraid that something might go wrong, why would he resort to such a desperate measure?
Fortunately, the stockings in his mouth were the ones that Hong Yi had just worn. If they were made of other fabrics, he didn't know if he could hold on.
"What's wrong?" The performer said jokingly, "Although you can't say anything nice with your mouth, you should learn to shut up, but you don't have to train while you're eating, right?"
Jiang Lu thought about it and wrote a few more words -
Give me some noodles and I’ll sip it through my nose.
The performer kept shaking his head: "You are so disgusting..."
Sickle looked at Jiang Lu who had started working early in the morning, and then looked at Jin Yao who seemed to be pretending to be calm for some reason. He always felt that something was not right today.
Jin Yao, who was chewing slowly on the side, might have noticed the suspicious look of the sickle. She deliberately changed the subject and said, "Eat quickly. The materials for foundation building should arrive in the afternoon. Gather in Jiang Lu's room then. I will tell you how to build the foundation."
"Okay." The sickle and the performer expressed their understanding.
Jiang Lu was shocked and quickly wrote down: You guys can just build it in your own room. I haven’t practiced enough yet, so I won’t join in.
Jin Yao narrowed her eyes and said, "No, even if you can't build a foundation now, it will be helpful for you to see what others do. You must be there."
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Jiang Lu had no choice but to write down: I don't want that for now, I'll go back and clean it up.
"What's there to clean up in your room?" Jin Yao asked.
Jiang Lu replied immediately: I'll wipe the door.
Jin Yao blushed instantly: "Then go quickly."
Jiang Luru felt as if he had been pardoned and ran quickly to his room.
"What does wiping the door mean?" Looking at Jiang Lu's back, the performer and the sickle were confused.
Click!
With a crisp sound, the two turned around and saw that the chopsticks in Jin Yao's hand had broken into two pieces.
"Are you guys free? You might as well spend this time consolidating your cultivation. If you fail to build your foundation later, you might die on the spot!"
"But... didn't you say a few days ago that you would prioritize our safety no matter what..."
"Haha, cultivating immortals is against the will of heaven, so it's not surprising what happens."
The sickle and the performer nodded slowly, their expressions gradually becoming solemn, and they only dared to communicate with each other with their eyes.
"Have we offended her?"
“I don’t know, but it should be.”
......
“Bad, bad, bad.”
Jiang Lu pushed the door open and walked straight into his room.
"What's wrong?" Hong Yi was putting on makeup. When she heard the noise, she turned around and asked curiously.
Jiang Lu was just about to ask her to help clean up, but when she looked up, she was stunned.
Hong Yi, who had originally put on makeup to look like a mature young woman in order to fit her character and make it easier for her to move around the casino, had now removed her bright makeup and replaced it with light and elegant makeup.
Although she lacks some charm, she looks more pure and gentle, full of the feeling of a good family, which forms a sharp contrast with what she had done before with Jiang Lu.
Even Jiang Lu couldn't help but be amazed: "She looks like a great wife!"
Hearing this, Hong Yi covered her mouth and chuckled: "As long as you like it."
"Oh no, now is not the time to talk about this." Jiang Lu reacted and quickly started to tidy up the messy bed. When he found that he couldn't clean it by himself, he quickly called room service.
Seeing him so anxious, Hong Yi realized something was wrong.
"What happened?"
"It's what I told you this morning." Jiang Lu tried his best to tidy up the room, trying to make it look more like he lived alone, while explaining: "They want to build a foundation, and then they will come to my room, so I have to pretend that I live alone."
Hong Yi was stunned for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Am I really that embarrassing?"
"What are you thinking?" Jiang Lu said helplessly, "It's just that we can't let them see you now. It's very troublesome."
"But you can't hide forever." Hong Yi sighed: "Didn't you say you would take me to Kunlun Mountain? But if I want to go with you, I will meet them sooner or later. What should I do then?"
"Hmm..." Jiang Lu was silent.
Indeed, hiding for a while is not a problem, but hiding forever is impossible.
The reason why he agreed to bring Hong Yi was, firstly, to express his sincerity, and secondly, he thought that he had to bring Dong Wanggong along anyway, so it didn't matter if he brought one or two, so he could just make up a reason when the time came.
Now, the reason why he doesn’t want Hong Yi’s existence to be discovered is actually because of three words: procrastination.
As he anticipated that it would be difficult to come up with a reason to bring the two people along, he would of course think that it would be better to do this troublesome task as late as possible.
Although it has to be done sooner or later, every second counts.
But now Hong Yi's words gave him inspiration.
He hadn't been able to think of any reasonable reason to bring the two people with him, but at this moment he suddenly came up with a good idea.
The more Jiang Lu thought about it, the more he felt that the plan in his mind was feasible. He immediately hugged Hong Yi excitedly: "You are right, I must introduce you to everyone openly!"
Listening to his words that were between a declaration of sovereignty and an expression of sincerity, Hong Yi's face couldn't help but be filled with a happy smile.
After all, this kind of willingness to make an official announcement on the circle of friends is extremely safe for girls no matter what era or world it is in.
But it's too early for Hong Yi to be happy...
after an hour.
Jin Yao knocks on Jiang Lu's door with a sickle and a performer.
Jiang Lu opened the door for them, nodded and greeted them as if nothing had happened.
