"I think … she's not being courteous. She's really asking for help …" The man among the middle-aged couple reminded them with a slightly pale expression.
He had only wanted to take advantage of Yuna. Hence, he pretended not to notice that Yuna's dress was torn. However, he could not bear to watch what happened next.
He could not bear to see a young and beautiful girl being treated so cruelly.
"Of course I know." The smile on Lu Sheng's face vanished immediately. "However, I'm doing this out of kindness. She has no right to refuse."
Naturally, he knew that he had fractured the girl's arms due to his carelessness. However, he was Lu Sheng. He could not be at fault.
He was not at fault. Naturally, the others were at fault.
The middle-aged couple was stunned when they heard this. They did not know how to respond.
The people around them were speechless as well.
"That's right. We nobles are never wrong in our words and actions. These mere commoners are merely tools to please us."
A handsome, golden-haired man walked over slowly from afar. He held two glasses of dark red wine in his hands. He looked at Lu Sheng with a faint smile on his face.
Lu Sheng casually removed his clothes. Yuna's entire body slumped onto the seat. Her arms were placed before her. It was obvious that her arms were twisted at an abnormal angle.
Lu Sheng stretched his hand out. After two crisp cracks, he channeled some Earth Qi to nourish her injuries. In mere seconds, Yuna's fractures and bruises were healed.
"Ah!"
As soon as her injuries were healed, she screamed with a terrified expression. She rose to her feet and ran. She did not dare to stay beside Lu Sheng any longer.
The golden-haired young man who was holding the glasses of wine took the seat that she had vacated.
Lu Sheng retracted his clothes and glanced at the man.
"Want a glass?" The young man placed a glass of wine before Lu Sheng.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Lu Sheng smiled, revealing a set of white teeth.
"My name is Jonah. Others have always been afraid of me. I've never been afraid of others," said the young man with a smile.
"That's quite an arrogant tone." Lu Sheng was stunned. Then, he smiled again.
"It's not an arrogant tone. It's a fact. Are you interested in becoming my follower? "The young man looked at Lu Sheng and invited him with a gentle tone.
Lu Sheng did not bother replying. He picked up the glass and took a sip. It tasted good. It was sweet and sour like fruit juice.
No … it was fruit juice.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Is it because you don't know how much it's worth? Don't worry, I'll give you as much as you want for girls like that. I don't lack anything, but I like to make friends. "The young man smiled.
Lu Sheng shook his head slightly and ignored him. Once again, he took out another book from his sack. This time, it was a novel.
The young man didn't give up. He just stayed there and refused to leave.
He said his name was Jonah, which was obviously a pseudonym.
He did not say. He did not. His name. "Jonah". "God" Jonah "Jonah". "Jonah" Jonah "Jonah". "Sorry" Lu "Jonah" Jonah "." Ah "
However, she did not dare to look at Lu Sheng or Jonah. She only lowered her head and curled up in fear.
Lu Sheng read his book on his own. Jonah kept repeating random things that he did not understand but thought were awesome. He was talking about all sorts of things that could make him seem elegant.
He was not annoyed when Lu Sheng did not answer him. He continued to talk about all sorts of interesting things.
The carriage moved forward slowly. It gradually picked up speed. Wild beasts would speed up when they reached plains. This was one of the characteristics of wild beasts.
Outside the carriage window, blurry images flashed past at high speed.
Lu Sheng read his novel for a while and ate something. After the branch chief, Yuya, came over to ask a few questions, no one else dared to go near them.
It was clear that Lu Sheng's actions earlier had frightened the people around him.
Those who could come here were of high status. Nobles should not sit in a corner. They were of high status. There was no need for them to argue with a mediocre person.
Moreover, Yuna's matter had nothing to do with them.
After Yuna left, she was mocked by the girls in the other carriages. She had no choice but to return to Lu Sheng's side.
In truth, after what happened earlier, no man was willing to come into contact with her anymore. Her wish had been dashed. She was now regarded as someone who belonged to Lu Sheng.
Jonah, on the other hand, kept babbling along the way. He was a complete chatterbox.
Lu Sheng could not be bothered with him. He focused on comprehending the mysteries of the operation of nature that were revealed when the Godhead circulated.
This perfected his understanding of the rules of his Heart World.
"Wah …"
"Wah …"
Suddenly, the sound of a baby crying came from outside the window. It interrupted Lu Sheng's train of thought.
He stopped and looked out the window.
"We're about to reach Hass. This is a famous slum. Be careful not to open the windows. We don't want the untouchables' hands to dirty our clothes, "the branch chief, Yuya, stood up and reminded the others loudly.
The cries of the babies came from the arms of some dirty women who were standing by the side of the car. They were holding skinny babies who were still crying with all their might.
The babies' limbs were like withered firewood, but their bellies were as big as rubber balls. It was clear that they were sick.
"This is Hass's infamous hell on earth …" Jonah, who had been chattering nonstop, suddenly became much quieter. He looked at the crowd outside the window quietly. His eyes flashed with an indescribable emotion.
The carriages kept moving forward. Soon, a waiter served them lunch.
However, lunch had to be paid for. Lu Sheng bought it for himself, and Yuna reluctantly bought it as well. Only the noble-looking Jonah waved his hand as if he did not want to look at it.
"How can nobles like us make do with food?"
Lu Sheng could not be bothered with him.
After moving forward for a while and having lunch, the group stopped in front of a mansion in Hass.
This was the place where they would be staying. However, everyone had to pay a deposit.
The mansion was not far from the slums. When Lu Sheng got out of the carriage, he could still hear the wails and the cries of children in the distance.
"Hass is a famous peninsula country. The nearest city is only a day's journey away from here. We're at the edge of the peninsula. The mansion we're staying in is one of Count Polk's properties. This mansion has a long history. It's been around since … "
Branch President Yuya got out of the carriage. She walked in front of the group and explained the situation.
Lu Sheng got out of the carriage. He could not help but look in the direction of the slums.
He could sense an immense aura of death flowing and surging in the slums. At the same time, the aura of death was mixed with a small amount of life force. It was like a sprout that was trying its best to grow in the black soil.
"Here, death is peace. It's not suffering anymore." Jonah walked beside him. He could not help but sigh softly.
It was clear that he had a good nature.
"Why are you still following me?" Lu Sheng gave him a strange look. This fellow had gotten out of the carriage, but he was still following him. Yuna was following him from a short distance away.
Jonah blushed. He forced himself to remain calm as he said, "Are you really not going to consider joining me and becoming a follower of the Beca Family? You should know that I, Jonah, am the fifth heir. My farms are vast and boundless. I can give you anything you want! "
"You don't have money to eat?" Lu Sheng went straight to the point.
Jonah jumped up like a kitten whose feet were stepped on. Her face was flushed, but she could not find any words to refute.
"You're so young, yet you're pretending to be a man," Lu Sheng said, speechless.
Jonah was stunned.
He brought her and Yuna into the mansion. They paid for three dinners. Yuna seemed to be out of money. She did not expect the dinners here to be so expensive when she was paying. She barely had enough money with her.
Lu Sheng felt slightly apologetic towards her. After all, she was Hongye's classmate. She had almost been killed by him. It was only right for him to compensate her. Hence, he paid for her dinner.
"Thank you …" Yuna lowered her head. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz. Her face was as red as an apple.
As for Jonah, the silver coins that Lu Sheng had casually given her were enough for her to eat.
Only then did she return to the washroom after changing into a pure white dress.
She had the same brilliant blonde hair draped over her shoulders. Her skirt hung down to her calves, revealing a little bit of the black pantyhose wrapped tightly around her slender legs. A wide black belt with silver patterns was tied around her waist. The most eye-catching part of her was her eyes.
Unlike the others around her, Jonah, who had removed her disguise, had a pair of mesmerizing purple crystalline eyes.
She only sat in her seat and ate quietly. Her every move reflected the strict and almost perfect etiquette.
Even though there was only a plate of steamed cabbage in front of her …
Lu Sheng glanced at the belt around her waist. He could tell that her previous disguise was probably the work of her belt.
"Where I come from, cabbage is also known as roasted cabbage. It's a miraculous vegetable with a long history and beautiful stories." Jonah picked up a small piece of cabbage with her fork and placed it in her mouth. Her expression was as if she was eating the finest fresh steak.
"I've loved eating cabbage since I was young. Unfortunately, my father always said that only the untouchables like to eat it. I didn't expect that I'd be able to taste a dish that I can't usually have on this trip. "
Yuna was no longer afraid of Jonah now.
"Did you sneak out on your own?" she asked curiously.
"No, of course I left the family openly. How can 'sneak out' be used to describe a noble and elegant lady? Yuna, you're too rude! "Jonah glared at Yuna in annoyance.
"I just forgot my wallet when I left the house," she added.
Yuna immediately covered her mouth and wanted to laugh. She could tell that Jonah was stubborn and wanted to save face. She did not say anything else. Jonah was actually a pure and kind girl.
She was the same as that person.
She could not help but steal a glance at Lu Sheng who was sitting at the side.
Lu Sheng was holding a cow bone in his hand. With a casual bite, he tore off a piece of meat that an ordinary person would not be able to finish in one meal. He chewed and swallowed it.
If watching Jonah eat was a form of enjoyment, watching him eat was a form of discomfort.
In less than half an hour, Lu Sheng had already finished enough food for at least ten people.
The waiters who served the dishes broke out in cold sweat as they stood at the side. Some of the nobles who saw Jonah's beauty dared not approach her. They only dared to point at her from afar.
After all, even the Elephant-People of the Orcs could not possibly eat as much as Lu Sheng.
