By the time everything was prepared, it was already evening.
After dinner, Han Jing stayed at Lan Yu’s house, shamelessly claiming that he was worried she’d feel lonely being by herself, stubbornly refusing to leave.
Meanwhile, Lu Youming, Lu Youye, and Li Muchen accompanied Lu Sheng back to the Shi family’s old mansion.
After all, with Lu Sheng heading off to participate in the show for ten days, she needed to return and let Shi Mingxiu and Shi Erya know, as well as prepare the herbal medicine the old man needed for the next ten days to boost his vitality.
So, she arranged to meet Lan Yu and Han Jing directly at the entrance of Qingmang Tower tomorrow afternoon.
As soon as Lu Sheng and the others entered the old mansion, they bumped into Shi Yuwei, who just happened to be coming downstairs.
When their eyes met, Li Muchen and Lu Youming’s gazes instantly turned icy. Lu Youye gritted his teeth, clearly itching to curse, but was held back by Lu Sheng.
Shi Yuwei looked at Lu Sheng, no longer bothering to feign her previous friendly and kind demeanor.
With undisguised hostility on her face, she spat out, "Talk?"
Lu Sheng remained expressionless and replied, "Sure."
Li Muchen frowned involuntarily, wanting to say something, but Lu Sheng gently shook her head, signaling him not to worry.
When the two walked to a secluded corner, Shi Yuwei stared at Lu Sheng for a few seconds, then let out a cold laugh before speaking.
"Qiangwei, I really underestimated you. You managed to make me take a tumble before I even got on the show. You must be feeling pretty pleased with yourself, right?"
Lu Sheng’s response was cool and detached.
She glanced at Shi Yuwei indifferently and said coldly, "Weren’t you the one who first used Soul Power to spill the porridge, trying to make me look bad on camera and boost yourself?"
"You were the one who said we wouldn’t interfere with each other, and then you broke that promise first. Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for being ruthless."
Shi Yuwei was provoked by Lu Sheng’s icy indifference and gritted her teeth, saying, "...Qiangwei, don’t get cocky."
"Do you think playing the green tea act during yesterday’s live stream can do anything to me? Haven’t I already turned the narrative around online?"
"Yesterday’s live stream was just an appetizer. Once the show starts, whether it’s popularity or strength, I refuse to believe you can surpass me."
"Oh, really?" Lu Sheng raised her eyes and retorted faintly. Before turning away, she tossed out one last remark, "Then just keep believing that. What does it have to do with me?"
This complete disregard infuriated Shi Yuwei so much that her hands almost trembled.
After the third acupuncture session, Old Mr. Shi’s health had visibly improved.
Upon returning home that evening, Lu Sheng discovered that Chen Guifen and Mrs. Wang were no longer employed at the Shi family mansion, likely fired by Shi Mingxiu.
She gave the ten-day supply of herbal medicine she had prepared to the family’s trusted old butler, instructing him to personally oversee the brewing and ensure Old Mr. Shi drank it every day.
That evening, the butler arranged for Li Muchen, Lu Youming, and Lu Youye to stay in guest rooms on the first floor.
Shi Yuwei, meanwhile, was scheming in her heart. The original owner of Lu Sheng’s current body was just a private-born girl raised in the countryside—what status or power could she possibly have?
The fact that she was able to thrive like this could only be due to Li Muchen’s influence.
The men Lu Sheng could attract—couldn’t she attract them too? She was a Fox Demon, after all. Just a bit of seductive magic would make these mortal men utterly powerless to resist.
