Chapter 46
“What are you talking about, Master?” Little Yuan’er asked.
“Nothing.” Lu Zhou cleared his thoughts as he slowly turned around and glanced at everyone present. He had a feeling that no matter whom he saw, they were all telling him: ‘Thank you for trying!’
Little Yuan’er could tell that her master was not happy, so she laughed playfully and said, “Don’t be angry, Master, I’ve killed all the invaders. If you’re still not happy, I can go back and stab their bodies a few more times with my knife.”
Zhou Jifeng, “???”
Lu Zhou raised a hand and said lightly, “Where is Old Fourth?”
“Old Fourth is badly wounded, but it also brought him a rare opportunity. He is now protected by woods and cannot come to see you, Master,” answered Duanmu Sheng while dragging the chain with him.
Lu Zhou was surprised before he said, “No one shall be near the woods for seven days.” It would take Mingshi Yin seven days to break through under the woods’ protection, and if the process was interrupted, he would never be able to step into the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm again.
Ye Tianxin looked Lu Zhou in the eyes and said disapprovingly, “You don’t have to be a hypocrite. I’m pretty sure you’ll sneak up on him in the middle of the night and give him a slap.”
Duanmu Sheng was speechless. “I’m going to heal my wounds. I’ll leave this place to you.”
“Oh! Take care, Senior Brother!”
…
Lu Zhou looked at the remaining merit points on the system interface. He had spent three thousand points on lucky draws, which left him with one thousand five hundred and forty points. His luck points had accumulated to sixty as well. He wondered if he should try again. He had truly been down on luck.
“Lucky draw.”
“Ding! This lucky draw costs 50 merit points. Thank you for trying, you have received 1 luck point.”
He had sixty-one luck points now.
“Very good!”
Lu Zhou was in a calm state of mind. He decided to stop now, thinking that he should wash his hands before he tried again. Suddenly, he thought of the ripples he saw when he read the Heaven Writing in the Ci Family’s residence, and he said to himself, “I will read the Heaven Writing to change my luck…”

What Lu Zhou said was ‘My luck should have changed/turned.’ In Chinese, change or turn is ‘zhuan’, luck is ‘yun’. However, spin is also ‘zhuan’ and dizzy is ‘yun’. When Duanmu Sheng heard that, he mistook it as ‘spin until dizzy’.
