Driving into the underground parking lot, fortunately, it was still early, so there were plenty of parking spaces. Lu Zheng casually found an empty spot and parked the car. Then, he saw a Ferrari come in and park opposite him.

Then, the door of the supercar opened, and a man with a pompadour hairstyle stepped out, pulling out a woman with light makeup from the passenger seat. He glanced at the Dongfeng Fengshen indifferently before preparing to leave.

However, before the man could look away, he saw all four doors of the Dongfeng Fengshen open simultaneously, and four women, each with their own unique charm, stepped out.

One was a heroic big sister, one was a girl-next-door little sister, one was an alluring older sister, and one was a cold beauty queen.

"Whoa!?"

The supercar guy wasn't the shy and reserved type like the little Fatty. The confidence that money brought him allowed him to stare directly at any beautiful woman, but this scene gave him an even bigger shock, instantly making the woman beside him seem less attractive.

The woman with light makeup seemed to have met a natural enemy, instantly clinging to the man's arm, her entire body going stiff for a moment.

The next moment, Lu Zheng shut off the engine, got out, closed the car door, and locked it. The four women immediately surrounded him, escorting him toward the elevator, completely ignoring the supercar man and the woman with light makeup beside him.

Supercar guy, "..."

Supercar guy looked back at the ordinary, several-year-old model of the Dongfeng Fengshen, feeling a bit dumbfounded.

...

"Was that guy just now one of the local playboys?" Shen Ying asked with a laugh.

Lin Wan nodded and then shook her head, "Most of the playboys behave like that, but not everyone who behaves like that is a playboy. Some successful people who enjoy life can also be ostentatious, so you can't lump everyone together. Plus..."

Lin Wan laughed, "Fulong Plaza isn't the top luxury shopping mall. Although there are a few big names keeping up appearances, it's relatively mainstream. The fact that he came here shows he didn't plan to spend much money."

As they chatted, they took the escalator to the basement level, arriving at the food court.

"We didn't have breakfast, so why don't we just eat something here?" Lu Zheng suggested.

"Sure, but..." Si Lingxi looked around, "These characters look quite simple. Some I can understand, some I can guess, but some I don't recognize..."

Lu Zheng patted his forehead, "After all these years, I've gotten used to it."

The characters in the ancient texts and the traditional characters in Hua Country come from the same system. Although they're not exactly the same, they're about 80% similar. Lu Zheng, having learned the traditional characters here, found it much easier to learn the ancient scripts.

Lu Zheng suspected that both worlds had been influenced by the Upper Realm in their textual development. After all, understanding profound concepts required specific characters. Using a different script might convey a completely different meaning.

However, there are also modern geniuses here. After the new dynasty was established, they created simplified characters, which even baffled Si Lingxi.

"I'll get you all a dictionary later, which has traditional characters similar to those in the Great Jing, and you can also learn Pinyin along the way," Lu Zheng said. "It will be very simple for you all."

Si Lingxi nodded. Most of these snack shops didn't need any signs to know what they were selling. For those that weren't obvious, Lin Wan, standing between Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying, softly introduced them.

They tried some octopus balls, pan-fried buns, Bo Bo chicken, hot dry noodles, and roujiamo, leaving behind a trail of amazed and astonished glances. Each of them bought a high-calorie milk tea before leaving at a leisurely pace.

"Hai City is one of the largest cities in Hua Country, and although it gathers snacks from all over, the taste has changed somewhat. Next time, let's go eat the authentic ones at their local places," Lu Zheng suggested. "Nowadays, the biggest hobby for many carefree young people is traveling around to taste authentic local snacks, like... the fermented bean juice in Beidu..."

Lin Wan paused, and Si Lingxi glanced back at Lu Zheng, feeling that there was some mischievous intent in his suggestion.

They took the elevator to the first floor, passing by various cosmetics counters and gold jewelry counters. Liu Qingyan looked at the rows of lipsticks displayed like trees and the different lipstick color numbers displayed nearby, utterly amazed, "It's just a lip product, yet there are so many kinds?"

In the Great Jing Dynasty, even the Jing Dynasty Imperial Family likely wouldn't have more than ten shades of lip products.

"Um..." Lin Wan blinked, "I also think it's quite a lot... It's said that different shades suit different people and match different outfits..."

"But it doesn't need to be so many, right?" Liu Qingyan asked, "Some of them look identical."

"There are definitely differences," Shen Ying laughed. "It's just that they're not significant. The division into so many categories is because the buyers are... women."

As someone from a respected family background, Shen Ying was the first to catch on to the essence of lipstick shades, and she eagerly stepped forward to try them one by one, warmly received by the sales attendant.

With Shen Ying leading the way, Liu Qingyan and Lin Wan, who usually used only two shades of lipstick, were also drawn in, eventually pulling Si Lingxi in as well.

In the end, the four women ended up with ten different shades, and Lu Zheng paid the bill.

They declined the sales attendant's recommendations for little black bottles, eye creams, aurora water, serums, shaping water, isolation milk, toners, various masks, and makeup removers because they didn't have skincare needs.

"Women here really go all out for beauty," Liu Qingyan marveled.

Lin Wan nodded, "Spending money right is actually effective. Many female celebrities in their forties and fifties still look like they're in their thirties, sometimes even playing young girls on TV."

They continued shopping, with Lin Wan leading Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying in the front, and Lu Zheng holding hands with Si Lingxi at the back.

To be honest, although Si Lingxi was also one of Lu Zheng's women, and they were all on equal terms as sisters, Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying were still a bit wary of her. When going out, they naturally let Lu Zheng be with her, as for Lu Zheng...

He certainly didn't dare to resist.

Liu Qingyan and the other women had no interest in gold or diamonds because they could make prettier ones themselves. So, they soon arrived at the women's clothing section on the second floor, and then...

Lu Zheng fully transformed into a compliment machine.

"Looks great!"

"Fits perfectly!"

"Very nice!"

"This matches so well!"

If buying lipsticks earlier was all about the four women discussing without making it obvious, now in buying clothes, these sales assistants could clearly see that all four women valued Lu Zheng's opinion very much.

Instantly, they were amazed by Lu Zheng!

The female customers nearby looked at Lu Zheng with curiosity, while the male customers' eyes turned red with envy, jealousy, and hatred, silently cursing him in various ways. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Lu Zheng calmly endured the waves of eye stares without showing any signs of discomfort, carrying bags and boxes as they went from store to store on the second floor, finally settling on several sets of autumn and winter outfits for the three women in the modern world.

"Let's go, go, go! Let's put the clothes in the car first, then go eat hot pot. Although I've made hot pot there too, in terms of dish variety, there are still more options here. We can order them all and see which ones suit your taste," Lu Zheng laughed.
