Returning to Hai City again, Lin Wan couldn't help but let out a long breath; a single day's experience felt like a whole era had passed.

However, she quickly recovered, and after sizing up Lu Zheng and the three women, she said, "Shall we head home to change clothes, or use a blinding technique for a disguise?"

"Let's just change clothes; it feels more convenient," Lu Zheng said with a smile.

Saying this, Lu Zheng had already pulled out a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt from the wardrobe in the bedroom and changed clothes in a few quick moves.

Then, he removed the hairpin, gave his head a gentle shake, and his hair fell off in chunks, leaving just over an inch left, styling himself with a spirited short haircut.

The fallen hair was ignited mid-air, turning into blue smoke and disappearing without a trace.

Lin Wan was dumbfounded, "Do you do this every time you cross worlds?"

"I used to use wigs, then blinding techniques, but eventually, this feels more comfortable and natural. It's no trouble anyway," Lu Zheng nodded and said.

When Lu Zheng possessed nearly five hundred years of Dao practice, he was already able to control hair growth freely.

Deliberately not nurturing spiritual qi in his hair, it became ordinary hair; cutting it off and letting it grow again was no burden to Lu Zheng.

"Do we need to do the same?" Liu Qingyan said softly and weakly.

"Of course you don't need to, it's quite common for women to have long hair, and your hair isn't excessively long," Lu Zheng said.

Even in ancient times, people didn't entirely avoid haircuts; they were just spaced further apart to ensure the hair didn't interfere with tying it up.

Thus, Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying's hair, when let down, just reached their waists, and Si Lingxi's was even longer and more eye-catching.

"Let's go home first, change into my clothes, and then go shopping in the mall," Lin Wan said with a smile.

"Isn't this your home?"

Lin Wan shook her head, gave Lu Zheng a sideways glance, "This is the apartment Lu Zheng rented to avoid me; our home is in another building of the community."

So, the three ladies used a blinding technique to return to the penthouse Lu Zheng and Lin Wan shared, where, on Lin Wan's recommendation, they changed clothes.

Liu Qingyan in a dress with a small jacket.

Shen Ying in jeans and a sweatshirt.

Si Lingxi in fitted pants and a batwing top.

All three women with waist-length hair, modeling more than models, outshining celebrities.

Then they opened the door and entered the elevator.

Lu Zheng introduced, "This is called an elevator, used for going up and down in high-rise buildings..."

Si Lingxi understood, "It's also a tool using electricity, specially designed for tall buildings; I didn't think you could build so high."

"The steel-concrete structure, plus a sufficiently deep foundation," Lu Zheng explained, "Because of the industrial revolution, steel can now be mass-produced, which is why today's society can't do without steel and energy."

Si Lingxi nodded, honestly, she hadn't seen such a social system before, so she had no opinions to offer.

"Ding!"

With a light sound, the elevator stopped on the ninth floor, and Lu Zheng quickly pulled back the eager-to-exit Shen Ying, "Not yet, there are other residents going down."

The elevator doors opened, and a chubby guy with glasses walked in, looking up to see four stunning beauties staring at him.

The chubby guy, not having encountered such a situation before, quickly turned to face the elevator doors, hands and feet at a loss, eyes fixed on the reflective elevator door, with beads of sweat starting to form on his forehead.

Then he heard a soft laughter from behind, which made him even more nervous.

The elevator arrived on the first floor, with a 'ding dong' the door opened, and the chubby guy bolted out without looking back.

Shen Ying couldn't help but laugh, "This person is quite amusing."

The footsteps of the chubby guy sped up even more.

"Should we get off too? Isn't this the first floor?" Liu Qingyan asked, "But just now, Lu Lang, why is the button you pressed still lit? I saw the previous person's button turned off."

Lu Zheng said, "We're going to the underground parking on level B1, so there's a minus sign in front, by the way, these are numbers..."

"I know, from one to nine, I've seen them on the clock at home," Shen Ying said with a smile.

While they were chatting, the elevator arrived at the underground parking on level B1, where they walked over to Lu Zheng's Dongfeng Fengshen next to them.

Lin Wan took out the car key and pressed a button, the car lights flickered, then she handed the key over to Lu Zheng, "Will you drive?"

"Of course!" Lu Zheng nodded.

Lu Zheng drove, Si Lingxi sat in the passenger seat, and Lin Wan sat in the middle of the back seat, leaving the window seats for Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying.

"So soft, and quite smooth, which animal's fur is this?" Liu Qingyan asked.

To be honest, because Liu Qingyan's true form was a fox, Lin Wan was always a bit sensitive about mentioning fur-related matters in front of her, so it was surprising that Liu Qingyan brought up the topic.

"I think it's cowhide; most leather is actually cowhide," Lin Wan explained.

In the next moment, Si Lingxi imitated Lu Zheng by fastening the seatbelt, then saw Lu Zheng press a button, the screen lit up with various lights, and the car itself roared to life, starting to move.

"So this is a car, quite amazing, and more comfortable than a carriage, though a bit small and cramped."

At this moment, Lu Zheng was already driving out of the garage, Liu Qingyan pointed outside and said, "Lu Lang, why not buy such a car and modify it?"

Lu Zheng and Lin Wan followed Liu Qingyan's gaze and saw a bus.

Lu Zheng, "..." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"This is a bus, mainly for commuting with more people," Lin Wan explained, "There are a lot of people and cars in cities, if everyone drove such a large vehicle, it would cause traffic jams, and large cars consume more fuel, so it would be wasteful."

"But there are relatively larger commercial vehicles," Lin Wan said to Lu Zheng, "I think you should buy an MPV; before it was just the two of us, this Fengshen was enough, but now it's not."

Lu Zheng nodded, "I'll find time to do it; no rush."

Lu Zheng had already driven onto the main road, where cars flowed like a stream, and shops lined the street, bustling with people.

Lu Zheng had bought the house in the lively part of town, so stepping outside was vibrant, teeming with life.

"So lively, it's indeed busier than Tonglin County or even Yizhou Prefecture," Liu Qingyan said.

Tonglin County was just a small county with forty or fifty thousand people; Yizhou Prefecture barely had two hundred thousand, how could they compare to Hai City?

Before long, Lu Zheng drove to the usual shopping spot—Fulong Plaza.

"We usually come here for a stroll; it's an all-in-one shopping, leisure, and entertainment place. We can catch a movie, and there's even a cat cafe; you can easily spend a whole day here," Lin Wan introduced.

Shen Ying nodded repeatedly, and together with Si Lingxi and Liu Qingyan, looked towards the oddly-shaped building of the mall.
