Chapter 41: Hong Yi’s gift!

This particular day.

Lu Changsheng was chatting with his wives and concubines when a servant came to report to him.

He said someone outside was asking to see him and presented a token.

Upon seeing the token, Lu Changsheng immediately knew that the person sent by Hong Yi had arrived.

Returning to his study, he retrieved a brocade box, already prepared and filled with Talismans, and walked out of the courtyard.

The person sent by Hong Yi naturally couldn’t just enter Qingzhu Mountain and waited outside.

When Lu Changsheng arrived outside Qingzhu Mountain, he immediately saw a luxurious carriage parked not far away.

A flag stood on the carriage, bearing the large characters ‘Ruyi Marquis’.

Surrounding it was a group of robust men, agile in physique, with sharp Aura, dressed in black tight-fitting attire, carrying long sabers and powerful crossbows.

They were all riding sturdy, black-haired horses, ten feet long and eight feet tall, with agile limbs.

Leading this group was Hong Yi himself, dressed in splendid brocade robes and of tall stature.

Lu Changsheng hadn’t expected Hong Yi to come in person this time, and with such a grand display.

Just by looking at the Aura of these black-clad strong men, one could tell they were all martial arts masters.

However, Lu Changsheng could also understand.

This was their first transaction, so Hong Yi naturally wanted to show his重视点.

Moreover, this transaction was worth over a hundred Spirit Stones.

Such a large sum of Spirit Stones was probably not a small amount for the Ruyi Marquis Manor, so he wasn’t comfortable letting just anyone bring them.

“Hong Xiong, long time no see!”

Seeing Lu Changsheng emerge, Hong Yi immediately stepped forward with warm and hearty greetings.

He wore a purple-gold crown and a purple brocade robe, appearing more dignified and majestic than before.

“Hong Xiong, I didn’t expect to trouble you to come in person this time.”

Lu Changsheng also smiled and went to meet him.

“I don’t have much to do, so I came over myself.”

“And to be honest, Hong Xiong, this is my first time doing such a big business, so coming myself puts me more at ease.”

“Otherwise, if something unexpected happened on the way, I could only go back to see my father with my head in my hands.”

Hong Yi shook his head with a bitter smile, speaking half-truth, half-jest.

The Ruyi Marquis Manor had some foundation, but not a lot; losing over a hundred Spirit Stones would still be very painful.

“Hahaha, Hong Xiong, you jest. Your esteemed father entrusted this matter to you, which shows his trust in you.”

Lu Changsheng said.

As he spoke, he took out the brocade box containing the Talismans from his Storage Pouch and handed it to Hong Yi.

“Hong Xiong, these are the Talismans you wanted.”

“There are twenty Fireball Talismans, twenty Water Shield Talismans, twenty Exorcism Talismans, twenty Earth Evasion Talismans, and twenty Rejuvenation Talismans. Please check them.”

“As for the price, as we discussed before, it’s twenty percent below market price, so it’s a total of one hundred and twelve Spirit Stones, but just give me one hundred and ten.”

Lu Changsheng stated.

There were a total of one hundred Talismans in the brocade box.

At market price, it would be one hundred and forty Spirit Stones.

However, Lu Changsheng had agreed with Hong Yi beforehand to sell them at twenty percent below market price.

After all, for a stable long-term supply channel and proactive pick-up, a twenty percent market discount wasn’t too much.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng now had an abundance of Talismans.

He was willing to sell them safely and stably, even if it meant a few more percent off.

After all, his cost of drawing Talismans was very low.

Most of the Materials were leftovers from helping the Lu family with Talismans, and only a small portion of the Materials were bought by himself just for show.

Hong Yi took the brocade box, opened it, and glanced at the five stacks of Talismans inside, a look of joy surfacing in his eyes.

As long as he brought this batch of Talismans back, his position in the Ruyi Marquis Manor would be completely secure.

If Lu Changsheng could consistently provide Medium Grade Talismans, then the position of the heir would not be so distant.

“Alright, I naturally trust Hong Xiong.”

Hong Yi didn’t inspect them carefully, just glanced a few times and then closed the brocade box again.

Then, he took out one hundred and twelve Spirit Stones from his Storage Pouch and handed them to Lu Changsheng.

“Thank you, Hong Xiong.”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng didn’t mind the two extra Spirit Stones and happily accepted them.

“Lu Xiong, you’re too kind. I should be the one thanking you.”

“I came here and also prepared a gift for Lu Xiong.”

Hong Yi smiled and waved his hand, then looked towards the carriage and clapped his hands.

“A gift?”

Lu Changsheng was surprised.

Beside the carriage, a stout man, though vaguely discernible as a woman, pulled open the curtain of the carriage door.

Then, a crisp ‘ding-dong’ of bells jingled from within the carriage.

A red-haired woman with emerald green eyes, deep-set eyes, a perky nose, fair and moist skin, and a very beautiful and exotic appearance, emerged from the carriage.

The woman’s red veil covered her face and hair, and she wore a red off-the-shoulder, midriff-baring dress, revealing her fair swan neck, exquisite collarbones, and flat abdomen.

Her delicate, fair jade-like arms slightly lifted her long red skirt, as she gracefully stepped out of the carriage with her curvaceous and alluring figure, revealing a surprisingly long and beautiful leg from beneath the skirt, her toes lightly touching the ground.

Her thighs were plump and firm, her calves long and powerful, and her feet were bare, with ten jade-like toes painted with crimson flower juice, complementing her fair skin.

On her exquisitely bony ankles, she wore a pair of golden anklets, from which hung two tiny bells that made a ‘ding-dong’ sound.

After this extremely exotic red-haired woman stepped out of the carriage, she curtsied gracefully towards Lu Changsheng, her captivating gaze making her seem like an alluring fox.

And then, another crisp bell sound rang from inside the carriage.

A woman with a very similar appearance to the red-haired woman, also with a high nose and deep-set eyes, and equally exotic, stepped out of the carriage.

Unlike the red-haired woman, this woman’s hair and eye pupils were all sea-blue.

Compared to the red-haired woman’s alluring charm, her facial expression seemed somewhat cold, giving her a cool and enticing feeling.

The two women’s faces were very similar.

However, their pupils, hair color, attire, and temperament were distinctly different, and standing side by side, they presented a unique and stunning sight.

Subsequently, the two long-legged, voluptuous, and exotic women moved their long legs and walked towards Lu Changsheng with distinctly different styles of gait.

Their steps were light and elegant, their fair and tender, gracefully swaying, and their red, bare feet, painted with nail polish, touched the ground without a speck of dust.

Lu Changsheng could tell at a glance that both women possessed martial arts.

This was due to channeling Internal Energy to their feet, allowing them to remain spotless.

“Jiu’er greets Master.”

“Shui’er greets Master.”

The two women came before Lu Changsheng and curtsied gracefully.

One’s voice was like a soft, seductive whisper.

The other’s voice was like a cold, clear spring, yet it stirred desire in the heart.

“.”

Hearing the two women call him Master, Lu Changsheng’s eyebrows subtly rose.

He had vaguely guessed what the gift was when he saw the two women step out of the carriage.

But at this moment, he confirmed that the gift Hong Yi spoke of was these two women before him.

He had to admit, both women were indeed beautiful and alluring, capable of arousing desire.

Especially since they had similar appearances but distinctly different temperaments and styles, which added a touch of initial surprise.

It reminded Lu Changsheng of Lu Miaoge and her sister, whom he had seen at Bamboo Heart Lake in the Lu family previously.

They also had similar appearances but distinctly different personalities and temperaments.

But the problem was.

Who sends girls as gifts?

Although in this world, such things were considered normal.

But facing such a situation, Lu Changsheng still felt strange and a bit awkward.
