Not... what I mean is Iām awesome now, having enough influence in both ancient and modern times, so even if exposed, I donāt have to worry about losing control, and I can take you for a tour.
I just casually picked a few adjectives, and you really calculated it?
If I said Sleeve Universe, Celestial Form, Three Heads and Six Arms, Avatar, how many tens of thousands of years of Dao practice would you need?
Also, River God of the River I can understand, probably a kind of Earth God enshrined by the Great Jing Dynasty, I suppose the strength of an Incense and Candle God who manages a big river shouldnāt be weak.
But then, what are Sea Dragon King and Celestial Star Official?
I havenāt read much, donāt trick me...
Lu Zheng blinked and smacked his lips, why does this world feel increasingly terrifying?
So he tried to coax some information out of Liu Qingyan, sighing, "Sea Dragon King, wonder how powerful it is."
"The Dragon Race rules the four seas, humans, demons, ghosts, and monsters on the sea all obey their command, standing in opposition to the Court, of course itās powerful," Liu Qingyan said matter-of-factly, "but the Dragon Race has always been friendly with the Central Plains, many dragons have come to the Great Jing Dynasty to become Water Gods."
Lu Zheng nodded and asked casually, "Are Celestial Star Officials also enshrined by the Court?"
Liu Qingyan stuck out her tongue, "Iām not really sure about this either, I just heard other demons mention it in Wanfu County, so I guess they must be very powerful."
Lu Zheng thought about the Twenty-eight Constellations from Journey to the West and nodded, "They should be pretty powerful."
So Lu Zheng decided to be a bit more low-key, absolutely no modern tech products should be brought here!
...
The two strolled around leisurely, and soon it was noon, passing by a small stall selling chicken soup noodles.
"Gurgle." Liu Qingyan swallowed.
Lu Zheng glanced at the pot with the mushy chicken cooking, "You guys really... love eating chicken!"
Liu Qingyan blushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Been eating it since I was a child, always liked it, the meat is tender, and the taste is really good."
Lu Zheng tugged Liu Qingyan over to the stall, "Boss, two bowls of chicken soup noodles, Iāll pay for an extra bowl, add more chicken to our noodles."
"Alright, two of you please sit, want scallions?" The stall owner warmly gestured, inviting them to sit down.
"Yes!"
...
The two ate chicken soup noodles, slurped slurp, then gobbled gobble, cleaned up both the meat and the soup.
"Delicious." Liu Qingyan licked her lips.
Lu Zheng stroked his chin, "This is tasty, huh, seems easy to please."
Liu Qingyan blushed again, "I just like eating chicken, whatās that got to do with being easy to please?"
Lu Zheng chuckled, "Remember the fried chicken I brought last time?"
Liu Qingyanās eyes lit up, "I remember! Lu Lang, are you planning to make that kind of chicken again? After we got back, Qingyan tried making it, but the taste was still different."
Lu Zheng waved his hand, "Thereās even tastier stuff."
Compared to traditional cuisine, KFC is nothing!
Roast chicken, steamed chicken, braised chicken, smoked chicken, yellow stewed chicken, three-cup chicken, spicy chicken, mouth-watering chicken, Kung Pao chicken, cola chicken wings, char siu chicken steak, oil sesame chicken, white-cut chicken, crispy chicken, beggarās chicken, steam-pot chicken, chestnut roasted chicken, chicken mushroom stew...
These are just the ones Lu Zheng knows, heās not a gourmet, so there must be many more he doesnāt know.
I mean, with so many famous chicken dishes in hand, how could Liu Qingyan go anywhere else with Lu Zhengās skills?
Come home with me and eat chicken!
...
Lu Zheng originally planned to head to Yizhou Prefecture the next day, but it happened to be the modern weekend.
Last time, because he caught a scammer halfway, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan only tried one ride in Disneyland. Later, Disneylandās management specially sent Lin Wan two more tickets as compensation.
However, Lin Wan was busy afterward, had no time to go again, so this time, catching a free weekend, she called Lu Zheng and arranged another visit.
"This time we donāt have to queue for the Tron Lightcycle Power Run, letās start with Soaring Over the Horizon."
"You make a lot of sense!"
So, Lu Zheng traveled back to the Great Jing Dynasty, looked at the dead dog on the ground, threw its body into the woodshed in the backyard, instructed Uncle Li not to touch it, then casually applied a Cold Condensing Talisman on the dogās corpse to preserve it.
Gotta say, the Cold Condensing Talisman is really useful, just like a small fridge, one can last a day.
...
Disneyland.
"Thereās still so many people!" Lin Wan exclaimed.
"What are we having for lunch?" Lu Zheng asked.
By now they had already come out from Soaring Over the Horizon, queued for two less crowded amusement rides, and watched an indoor performance.
Itās now half-past twelve, lunchtime.
"Let me take a look." Lin Wan studied the map for a long time, started having a dilemma choosing, "Should we go to Pirate Barbecue Bay or the Tribeās Abundance Hall? The Country Kitchen seems to have good reviews too?"
Lu Zheng, "..."
Luckily, the one making decisions is Lin Wan, not some pretentious girl who keeps saying āwhateverā but disagrees with everything her boyfriend decides.
"Letās go! To Pirate Barbecue Bay for some grilled meat!"
...
After queuing for ages, buying food, and finding a spot at a shared table, we ate amidst the chaos, with none of the Pirate Barbecue Bay atmosphere.
We can only say itās due to our unique national conditions, just endure it.
...
In the afternoon, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan lacked interest in queuing to experience amusement rides again. Instead, they left a trail of footsteps in various theaters, outdoor sceneries, and indoor exhibitions.
Along the way, the two took photos together. Lin Wan, adorned with various Disney decorations, posed beautifully for Lu Zheng to capture, drawing quite a few envious stares.
"Buy, buy, buy! This is Belleās dress, this is Cinderellaās dress, this is Elsaās dress, and hereās a female pirate outfit, oh my, thereās even Black Widowās combat suit?" Lu Zhengās eyes sparkled as he began to shop.
Other girls envied Lu Zheng and Lin Wan, but Lin Wanās gaze at Lu Zheng was filled with peculiarity and embarrassment.
After shopping for ages, they couldnāt handle all the goods they bought, but luckily Disney offered a delivery service. Lu Zheng was quite satisfied; he left his phone number and address, and sent everything... to Lin Wanās home.
"Didnāt expect an extra gain!" Lu Zheng was delighted.
Then, after Lin Wan pinched him twice under the ribs, Lu Zheng promised to guide her thoroughly on the subsequent content of the "Eighteen Mountain-Carrying Techniques," and continued to stroll around holding her with pride.
...
Compared to previous visits where the amusement park was all about fun and taking photos, now there were more facilities and more diverse activities for tourists. Out of every ten people Lu Zheng came across, one was recording video or live streaming with a selfie stick, with some doing it solo while others had scattered helpers or teams, looking very professional.
Luckily, it wasnāt a holiday today, so while there were many people at the park, it wasnāt crowded to the point of being packed.
Lu Zheng and Lin Wan passed by several posing social media influencers, and after rendering them insignificant in the background, they finally encountered something interesting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the twenty-second guest has just admitted Iām a magician with magic powers. Now we continue to look for the twenty-third guest to see if they can crack my magical tricks!"
"For those just tuning in, this is Feixiang Magic Live Stream. Itās the Disneyland special today, and weāre looking for tourists who can crack my magical tricks!"
"Anyone who can crack my tricks will win a two-day, one-night hotel and ticket combo for Disneyland. Additionally, Iāll be selecting one hundred lucky viewers from the live stream to receive a Disney blind box!"
"Everyone, use your rewards to call forth a tourist who can crack my magic!"
...
"Oh, I see a super beauty and her plain boyfriend. How about we let this super beauty... her boyfriend, be our twenty-third guest today!"
[Just say it, youāre afraid of being hit]
[I want to see the girl~]
[GKD! GKD!] (meaning "Hurry Up! Hurry Up!")
The streamer glanced at Lu Zheng and gestured to the cameraman, keeping the camera focused on him, "Letās first go ask if theyāre willing to be in the shot, if so, theyāll be our twenty-third guests."
Then Lu Zheng and Lin Wan were stopped by a handsome-looking young man.
"Hello, Iām Feixiang, a magician with magical powers..."
Feixiang repeated what he had said to the live stream audience earlier, "Itās just a game, so are you interested in being in the shot?"
Lu Zheng and Lin Wan exchanged a glance, Lin Wan laughed, "Not bad, quite professional, knows to ask for our consent instead of thrusting the camera in our faces immediately."
Feixiang laughed, "Iām doing long-term content production, not short-term traffic-based fan cleaning."
The live streamās comments were full of snark.
[Gross...]
[I donāt buy it, ten of the first twenty-two guests were beauty girls]
[Well, given that itās Disneyland, the high quality of girls is acceptable, or else how would it be a park special?]
[Judging by this girlās voice, she seems imposing and assertive, hope they agree!]
However, the voice from outside the frame disappointed them.
"Iāll be in the shot; my girlfriend, not so much," Lu Zheng laughed, "After all, youāre looking for my participation right?"
[Ahhhh, hate these straightforward guys the most!]
[I want to see the super pretty girl!]
The next moment, Lu Zheng was in the shot, smiling at Lin Wan outside the frame, "Nice luck, canāt see everything in a day, just perfect for an invitation, so letās continue next time, then weāll try Tribeās Abundance Hall and Country Kitchen."
[Oh, how confident, boyfriend material MAX, love it]
[Unremarkable Principal Gu, this unremarkable boyfriend clearly has Gu Zai style]
[This smile is so warming, dear sister, Iām already warmed up, what should I do?]
[Humph, boasting and pretending, waiting to be slapped in the face!]
[Posing and pretentious, sure to get face-slapped later!]
...
The cameramanās skills were great; Feixiang and Lu Zheng were entirely in the frame.
"Alright, watch carefully, Iām going to perform magic," Feixiang raised both hands at Lu Zheng, "Look closely, if you canāt see through it, youāll have to admit Iām a magician with magic powers. Of course, if you can see through it, the two-day dual pass to Disney Castle amusement park worth two thousand Yuan is yours!"
