CHAPTER 506: CHAPTER 506 EXTRA 1: VISIT FROM THE DIVINE REALM

Before Lu Sheng woke up in the Human Realm, or rather, when she was about to leave the Divine Realm, Li Zhi had already mentioned to her that he had a travel plan for a long time, asking her to first go back and sort out the matters in the Human Realm.

Back then, Lu Sheng thought that the travel plan Li Zhi mentioned was probably a trip to the Human Realm.

However, she didn’t expect that Li Zhi’s travel plan involved not only Li Zhi but also Yu Si and Wu Mian.

-

The first Saturday after the start of the semester.

When Lu Sheng woke up, the clock on the wall already pointed to eleven in the morning. She reached out habitually to touch the side, but didn’t feel Li Muchen beside her.

Lu Sheng thought, Li Muchen had probably gone to the office to busy himself, afraid of waking her up, so he left by himself, and she didn’t mind.

The first week back at Beijing University was dedicated to military training, and every morning they had to gather at eight o’clock. In the evening, to cultivate students’ learning habits, the Law School’s freshman counselor even arranged evening self-study.

This resulted in the past week, not only did Li Muchen have to accompany Lu Sheng to school before eight every morning, but he also had to wait outside the school until nine-thirty at night to pick Lu Sheng up and take her home.

Not only was their time together reduced, but because Lu Sheng had to wake up early every day, Li Muchen couldn’t tire the exhausted girl who had endured a day of military training and self-study at night—at most, just kisses and hugs.

And so, they lived entirely abstinent for the whole week.

Last night marked an end to that abstinence. The man delighted in indulgence, continuing almost until dawn. Only when Lu Sheng was too exhausted to keep her eyes open did Li Muchen finally carry her off to bathe and sleep.

With Li Muchen gone, Lu Sheng got up alone.

As she opened the curtains, the bright, dazzling sunshine fell on her face—it was a rare beautiful day.

Lu Sheng stretched lazily by the floor-to-ceiling window. Just after freshening up in the bathroom, she received a phone call from Lan Yu.

"Shengsheng, darling, I came to your place to find you for fun! Are you awake yet?"

The energetic voice of Lan Yu was as lively as ever, yet in the next second, it took a mysterious turn.

"Let me tell you, Shengsheng, I’m already outside your house, but I happen to see a few cosplay people lurking around your entrance. Should you perhaps have your guard or butler go take a look?"

"...cosplay people?"

Lu Sheng briefly didn’t understand.

Lan Yu said: "Yes! Although I couldn’t see their faces clearly, I saw four people in total. The tallest man has waist-length silver hair, another guy has misty blue hair, one has red hair, and there’s a woman with an incredibly voluptuous figure with purple hair."

"The clothes they wear are quite normal, but if not for cosplay, who would wear so many brightly colored wigs? Could it be some of your die-hard fans? Oh dear, Shengsheng, don’t come out yet, I’ll go confront them for you!"

——Silver hair, misty blue hair, red hair, purple hair?

Isn’t this Li Zhi, Wu Mian, Yu Si, Ling Yue?

Did they come to the Human Realm?

Lu Sheng hadn’t had a chance to stop Lan Yu before her impulsive nature ended the call.

Lu Sheng feared that Lan Yu might mistake Li Zhi and the others for troublemakers and cause a conflict.

She hurried downstairs towards the yard without even bothering to change out of her pajamas or greet the butler and servants.

As the courtyard gate opened, she saw Lan Yu standing starry-eyed before Li Zhi, holding out paper and pen with a flourish.

Speak enthusiastically: "Handsome, which cosplay brand are you from? You’re so handsome; I haven’t seen your photos online before. Do you have a Douyin account? May I follow you?"

...

Wasn’t she supposed to drive away die-hard fans for her?

From a glance, Lu Sheng could tell that Lan Yu had hopelessly fallen for Li Zhi at first sight.

Lu Sheng turned her gaze towards the few people outside the gate.

Though dressed in human attire, Li Zhi wore a light white robe even in the hot summer, his waist-long silver hair, and gentle golden eyes emitting an innate divinity, handsome yet gentle.

Beside him, Yu Si and Wu Mian were wearing human short sleeves. Yu Si’s red hair was flamboyant, exuding a rebellious charm. Wu Mian’s features were exquisite, and he still held in his arms that rabbit doll that never left his side.

What surprised Lu Sheng was that Ling Yue had also come. Still sporting those eye-catching big wavy curls in memory, her front was voluminous, dressed in a black tight dress outlining her fiery figure.

"Yinyin! Do you know how much I’ve missed you!"

Upon seeing Lu Sheng open the gate, Yu Si was the first to rush over and hug her, rubbing his chin intimately on her shoulder.

Out the gates, Lan Yu looked puzzled: "...Yinyin? Who is Yinyin, handsome, did you mistake..."

Before Lan Yu could finish her sentence of "did you mistake her," Lu Sheng took a deep breath and walked beside her.

Pressed her hand over her eyes: "Hastily made your way here, are you tired? Take a nap."

Lan Yu didn’t have time to react before her eyes closed, fainting softly against Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng addressed the arriving butler: "Uncle Wang, take Lan Yu to the guest room to rest. Also, everyone in the house gets a day off, you can all leave now."

The butler immediately took over Lan Yu, without asking who these few people were, respectfully said: "Yes, madam, I will take Miss Lan Yu to the guest room and then inform the others."

The maids of the Li Family were quick on their feet, and within minutes, everyone left promptly.

With outsiders gone from the house, Lu Sheng finally relaxed. After arriving at the living room, she hugged Wu Mian actively, then went over to embrace Li Zhi, asking: "...Why didn’t you tell me ahead of time you were coming, I wasn’t mentally prepared."

Li Zhi had a faint smile on his lips, his hand ruffling Lu Sheng’s slightly messy black hair gently, with tenderness and affection in his eyes.

Clearly the girl had just hurried over after washing up, still in pajamas and slippers, looking very much like her usual waking state in the Divine Realm before.

"Actually planned to give you a surprise," Li Zhi said, "but as soon as we arrived, we were stopped by your guards, and Ling Yue knocked them unconscious."

Lu Sheng then noticed the guard sleeping on the table in the sentry booth, and cast her gaze to Ling Yue.

Ling Yue, seeing Lu Sheng with an uneasy expression, coldly snorted and raised her chin: "...Who’s calling us freaks, and threatening to call the police if we don’t leave? Have you ever seen a freak as beautiful as me."

Lu Sheng didn’t expect Ling Yue would come to the Human Realm along with Li Zhi and the others.

Back in the Divine Realm, Ling Yue’s dislike for her was evident, always opposing her. Later in the final battle after her downfall, only Ling Yue sincerely wanted to kill her.

Seeing Lu Sheng’s face showing a bit of confusion, Ling Yue, embarrassed, assured with pique: "I just came to see Tan Yuan. What, am I unwelcome then? I’ll leave if that’s the case."

She refused to admit she was there because, after discovering the truth, she realized her previous biases against Chen Yin were narrow-minded and unjustified, hence felt guilty wanting to visit her in the Human Realm.

"Certainly not," Lu Sheng held Ling Yue back seriously saying, "I was just surprised, no unwelcome feelings. Also, Li Muchen went to the office today, he’s not home."

Li Muchen, now the human identity of Tan Yuan, right?

Quite surprised that on a weekend, as a CEO in the human world, he still had to work.

And yet in the next second, the supposed CEO off to work walked out of the kitchen wearing a black shirt and a cute bunny apron.

Facing a line of gazes in the living room.

"Baby, I’m in the kitchen making the snow skin mooncake you wanted to eat. I didn’t hear the sound just now," Li Muchen said calmly, first looking at Lu Sheng with a gentle voice.

Then he turned to look at Li Zhi and the others, and his expression suddenly became formal, his gaze deep, "Li Zhi, Yu Si, Wu Mian, Ling Yue... long time no see."

Back in the Divine Realm, Tan Yuan was considered the most reclusive among the Seven Divine Envoys.

Always staying alone in the corner, rarely talking to others, as if he had no desires or wants.

So, if it weren’t for Tan Yuan following Chen Yin’s fall, Ling Yue wouldn’t have known that Tan Yuan actually had such forbidden thoughts about Chen Yin.

But now—

The term "baby" caught Ling Yue off guard, causing her shoulders to twitch.

So this ice block acts this clingy towards Chen Yin at home?

"...Have you recovered all your memories?" Li Zhi looked at Li Muchen and asked.

Unlike Lu Sheng, who is using the original body, Li Muchen’s appearance is the same as Tan Yuan’s original form.

So standing face-to-face like this immediately brought Li Zhi back to the times of hundreds of years ago.

At that time, as the governor in place of the Divine Lord in the Divine Realm, he was the first to notice Tan Yuan’s rebellious heart.

Previously, Tan Yuan’s wings were only inconspicuously darkened, but after Chen Yin’s fall, his wings turned completely black overnight.

"Do you want to leave the Divine Realm and follow Xiao Yin’s footsteps?" he had asked at the time.

And then, Tan Yuan only looked at him calmly, "Are you going to report me to Father?"

"Why would I," he chuckled lightly, concealing the bitterness in his eyes, "I’m grateful that you can do what I couldn’t. I hope you can protect Xiao Yin well. I believe she has never been a bad child."

And it turned out, until his end, Tan Yuan used all his strength to protect Chen Yin.

Now... although time has passed and their identities have changed, the two of them have truly found their happiness.

"Speaking of which, this is our first time visiting the Human Realm. How do you two plan to entertain us as hosts?" Ling Yue sat on the sofa, sounding very proud.

"Ten minutes ago, I already gave all the servants and chefs at home a day off,"

Lu Sheng suggested, "If you don’t want to eat out, how about I make something for you?"

Chen Yin making food for them?

Li Zhi smiled, Yu Si’s eyes lit up, Wu Mian nodded seriously, and only Ling Yue reluctantly accepted.

So they let the four of them wander and play around the house.

Lu Sheng and Li Muchen went to the kitchen, using the skills they learned during the Chinese New Year. One cut vegetables and mixed fillings, the other kneaded dough and rolled wrappers.

However, before starting work, Li Muchen took out the mango snow skin mooncakes he made earlier from the fridge.

He picked the plumpest and most beautiful one and stuffed it into Lu Sheng’s mouth.

The snow skin, chilled, was refreshing and soft, with the delicate and dense cream mixed with the unique sweet and sour taste of mango.

Seeing Lu Sheng eat with satisfaction, Li Muchen couldn’t help but lean down, lightly kissing the girl’s lips still with a sweet taste.

Nothing brings more joy than seeing the happiness of your beloved.

Once the dumplings were cooked, they were served steaming hot, filling the entire table, eliciting Yu Si’s amazement.

In the Divine Realm, most low-level Divine Envoys filled their stomachs with fresh fruits.

There’s not much food in the Divine Realm, so in Yu Si’s view, such ordinary human food brimming with earthly flavors is very rare.

Wu Mian, who was born of gluttony, had slept for over three hundred years without eating anything. Once he tasted Lu Sheng’s dumplings, he ate twenty plates straight away.

Fortunately, Lu Sheng was aware of Wu Mian’s appetite and spent an entire hour just wrapping dumplings for him.

Although Ling Yue seemed very picky, while her mouth said disdain, her body was very honest, eating quite a lot.

While eating and chatting, Yu Si expressed his desire to spend a few more days in the Human Realm, which Li Zhi gently refused.

"Originally, three of the Seven Divine Envoys have left, leaving only four still in the Divine Realm."

"If these remaining four also neglect their duties, the Six Realms might fall into chaos."

Three of the Seven Divine Envoys had left.

Upon saying this, the air suddenly fell silent.

In the memory of those present, the last time everyone sat this happily and relaxed together was thousands of years ago. And at that time, Ning Yu was also there.

Because of Ning Yu’s relationship with Chen Yin and Tan Yuan, Li Zhi and the rest had always instinctively avoided mentioning Ning Yu’s name in front of Lu Sheng.

Instead, it was Lu Sheng who took the initiative to ask: "Ning Yu, where is he now?"

Li Zhi raised his head, glanced at Lu Sheng, and said, "In Hell."

"Actually, Ning Yu’s fall back then was, to some extent, tacitly approved by Father. Hell is outside the Six Realms and requires a son of God to govern it, which has enough deterrence."

"When you were punished to the Netherworld in Hell, Ning Yu followed suit, logically taking over Hell. He came to the Human Realm after you, but later... he returned to Hell."

Li Zhi lightly let out a sigh: "...Ning Yu has a knot in his heart. He probably can’t let go of why he wasn’t the chosen one."

"Xiao Yin, if you have the time and are willing, I hope you can talk to him. After all, I know you care about him too."

How could you not care, as they both grew up together, those genuine feelings from back then won’t wither with the passage of time.

Li Zhi dared to say these things openly in front of Li Muchen because he knew Li Muchen wouldn’t get jealous because of it.

Lu Sheng didn’t say anything, just nodded, saying she knew what was in her heart.

When seeing Li Zhi and the others off, Li Zhi patted her head and nonchalantly glanced inside the house, "Your friend seems to have overheard a lot. Will it affect your life in the Human Realm?"

Lu Sheng knew what Li Zhi was referring to and shook her head, saying, "No, she is my best friend in the Human Realm. I was planning to tell her my true identity anyway."

After Li Zhi and the others left, Lu Sheng and Li Muchen turned around to see Lan Yu in the living room looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated, stuttering, "Shengsheng, God ..."

Lu Sheng nodded, as if stating something utterly ordinary, "Hmm, I’m not human, I’m a God."

Then, seeing Lan Yu gasp sharply, suddenly asked, "Xiao Yu, want to go to a place with me for fun?"

Lan Yu instantly forgot everything else, her eyes sparkling, "—For fun? Where?"

Looking into her eyes, Lu Sheng seriously replied, "I’ll take you to Hell."
