Chapter 191: Sweetheart

Demon Heart: "I have always told you not to be too guarded against me, and I have also said many times that you are me, and I am you, it's just that you don't believe it."

Lv Fang nodded. There might be things he didn't know in this, but judging from the current result, he might truly not be able to erase the Demon Heart.

On the second day after coming out of the Golden Mystic Light Mirror, Lv Fang decided to return to the Great Zhou. This time coming to the Luo Sha Nation had already exceeded a month's time.

He hadn't let the Book Spirit Yan Chixia help write 'Water Margin'. The Great Zhou Literary Newspaper had been broken for a while. Now that it was initially popularized in the Great Zhou, not updating for too long would be a bit bad.

The day he went back was daytime, but the streets were full of ghost cultivators and Luo Sha of the Luo Sha Nation, shouting 'Lord Wenguan Hou' loudly.

This was a rare scene.

If it weren't for a famous great power of the Luo Sha Nation, it would be impossible to be so popular.

Lv Fang looked up at the palace in the sky. The golden characters appearing on it were exactly 'When Will the Moon Be Clear'.

The reason he was so popular in the Luo Sha Nation should be because of this poem.

On the way back, nothing happened.

After rushing on the road for a day and a night, he arrived at the transmission place and transmitted directly to the Great Zhou Imperial Palace. Lv Fang, as a special envoy, took a group of people to the Taihe Hall to report to the Zhou Emperor.

Lord Wenguan Hou's Mansion.

Study.

Lv Fang sat at the desk, writing 'Water Margin' while talking to Lv Ling, who was proofreading, about the various things that happened during this trip to the Luo Sha Nation.

"So dangerous!" Lv Ling, upon hearing Lv Fang describe being trapped in the Golden Mystic Light Mirror, revealed a worried expression on her face and said: "You weren't injured, were you?"

Lv Fang smiled and shook his head, somewhat carefully saying: "Has anything major happened in Shangjing recently?"

Lv Ling smiled and said: "In the month or so you were away, large-scale battles occurred again in the North and South Frontiers. Because the Demon Clan and Barbarian Clan were prepared this time, and launched a sneak attack, the Great Zhou also won a miserable victory this time."

Lv Fang sighed and said: "Sigh, when I saw the Zhou Emperor before, we also discussed the matter of the North and South Frontiers. We truly cannot be so passive; we should take the initiative to attack."

"If we don't beat the Demon Clan and Barbarian Clan until they are afraid, they will only climb on our heads."

"Using force to stop force means beating them until they are afraid, until they scatter at the sight of our North and South Frontier armies."

Lv Ling nodded and said: "Also, after the Great Zhou Literary Newspaper was popularized, the sales were very good. Shen Kangbo also sent some things over, and also said that if we encounter any troublesome matters, they will definitely support us with all their strength."

Lv Fang smiled and said: "Support with all their strength?"

Lv Ling smiled lightly: "The things to be adapted from 'Dream of the Red Chamber' have now spread throughout Shangjing. Quite a few top courtesans of song and dance houses have self-recommended to play the character roles inside. Also, Shen Kangbo's funding is very much in place."

Lv Fang smiled wryly: "Quite a few top courtesans self-recommended?"

Lv Ling blinked her eyes playfully and said: "Why? Brother, do you want to see those self-recommendation letters?"

"Where are they? I truly want to see them." Lv Fang didn't have other thoughts, just somewhat curious about what these top courtesans would write in their self-recommendations.

Lv Ling sighed and said: "The letters they wrote were mostly too explicit. I had people burn some, and only these remain."

"Burned well." Lv Fang shook his head with a bitter smile. He looked at the desk full of letters Lv Ling took out, opened a few, and inside were the personal portraits of the top courtesans, and also a letter.

After roughly looking at a few, Lv Fang stopped.

He didn't intend to choose roles like this at all. After all, these top courtesans were the headliners of every song and dance house. If they truly became famous after playing the roles in 'Dream of the Red Chamber', who knew what would happen. 【

This was too out of control.

Lv Fang did not quite like this feeling; even if the characters were not that suitable for Dream of the Red Chamber, he felt that being a little off would also be fine.

"Burn these as well."

He smiled and said.

Lv Ling raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Do you really want to burn them? Brother, shouldn't you look at them a bit more? Perhaps there are some you might take a fancy to; it seems there are a few that are particularly beautiful."

Lv Fang touched Lv Ling's head, and while she was not paying attention, he pinched her chubby cheeks and said dotingly, "You bad girl, are you making fun of me?"

"Disgusting!" Lv Ling blushed and swatted his hand away.

"Why are you blushing?" Lv Fang continued to tease her.

"I'm not talking to you," Lv Ling said huffily.

After some playful scuffling, Lv Ling panted and said, "By the way, there is one more thing I think Brother should know. The Thirtieth Imperial Prince mentioned something to His Majesty about wanting to take Sister Li Yu as his wife."

"What!" Lv Fang frowned.

Lv Ling observed Lv Fang's expression and said cautiously, "I heard it from the Great Scholar Wang Fu. It is said that His Majesty did not agree to grant the marriage, but instead said he would wait to see what Sister Li Yu thinks."

Lv Fang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What is going on with this Thirtieth Imperial Prince?"

Lv Ling pondered for a moment and said, "I'm not too sure, but Brother, rest assured, Sister Li Yu refused directly after finding out. Refusing His Majesty's messenger is not an easy thing to do."

"Do you know what Sister Li Yu said to refuse him?"

She asked with a smile.

Lv Fang looked at Lv Ling's teasing expression and asked curiously, "What did she say to refuse?"

Lv Ling giggled and said, "Sister Li Yu said she has a sweetheart, and she even said that she would not marry anyone else for the rest of her life."

"Did she really say that?" Lv Fang scratched his head, feeling incredibly puzzled. Was Li Yu talking about him? It shouldn't be, right? When the two of them went to watch the sunrise before, it seemed she didn't like him that much.

Could it be that she really has someone she likes?

If it wasn't him, who could this sweetheart be?

Lv Ling looked at Lv Fang's increasingly gloomy expression and asked in confusion, "Brother, shouldn't you be happy to hear these words? Why do you have that expression?"

Lv Fang looked at her expression and said, "Do you mean to say that the sweetheart she spoke of is me?"

Lv Ling nodded vigorously and said with an expression of course, "Of course it's you, Brother. Who else could it be? Didn't you ask Sister Li Yu to watch the sunrise?"

"Ah! You knew about that," Lv Fang said with a dry laugh.

Lv Ling pouted and said, "Brother didn't tell me, but Sister Li Yu told me. When she said it, she even subconsciously added that she would never forget this life. If you aren't her sweetheart, then who could it be?"

"So that's how it is," Lv Fang said hesitantly. "But that morning, how come I didn't feel she was very happy?"

He paused, then realized and said, "When you two are together, you talk about this? Did you not tell her that I like you too?"

As soon as he said this, he regretted it.

In front of Lv Ling, to keep talking about Li Yu—he was being a bit too much of a jerk. He couldn't be this unscrupulous just because of her thoughtfulness and tolerance.

"I'm sorry!"

Lv Fang apologized sincerely.

But he did not expect that when Lv Ling saw Lv Fang like this, she thought he was going to draw a line between them. Her nose twitched, and tears kept falling.
