I Have A Dual World Seal

In the days that followed, nothing much happened at last.

Lu Zheng went up to Shaotong Mountain and found Master Yue Chen’s injuries had completely healed, reverting to his usual state—wandering around the temple when he’s free and retreating to the backyard to drink when he’s busy.

The only difference was that he would cast a divination whenever someone came up the mountain seeking help.

On the Blue Star side, Liu Qingyan went back to work at Longhua Hospital, seeing patients, and at the end of the day, she was quite enthusiastic, feeling a sense of satisfaction.

It must be said, she is truly a natural-born doctor.

Si Lingxi and Shen Ying, the idle pair, tagged along with Lu Zheng, alternating between staying home to surf the web and going out to have fun together.

Sometimes Lu Zheng would feel a bit bored, but the two women seemed to relish it.

Si Lingxi had previously mentioned to Lu Zheng, that watching the mountains and the sea, the mountains change daily, and so does the heart, therefore never boring, especially now that she had taken up a hobby of reading novels.

And as for Shen Ying, there’s no need to mention it, she could never finish watching the movies and TV series online.

Of course, when they’re tired from playing and want to relax and entertain themselves, Lu Zheng is always there to act as a distraction tool.

Thus, every night after the women have conferred, Lu Zheng can only let them have their way.

The only pity is that every attempt Lu Zheng made to pull Si Lingxi into the water was resolved by her, also draining Lu Zheng to the point of needing to use the Jade Seal to replenish energy.

Jade Seal, "..."

"Huff—huff—"

Lin Wan lay on Lu Zheng, her face as red as blood under the intrigued gaze of Shen Ying beside her. Then she turned over, pulled a thin quilt to cover herself, panting heavily, feigning calmness as she said, "I can’t go on. Let Sister Ying take over."

Shen Ying moved closer to Lu Zheng’s ear, whispering, "Lu Lang~"

"Hm?"

"Then I really will take charge~"

Lu Zheng: ╮(﹀_﹀")╭

...

"According to reports from frontline journalists, this year’s grass fire in Mongolia surpasses the severity of the previous two years."

"In the forests near our country’s northeastern border with the Great Goose Country, the fire is fierce, with strong northwest winds driving it towards our territory."

"This fire was caused by unexpected drought during the late spring and early summer, with a high-pressure system in Siberia blocking Pacific monsoon and rainfall, leading to reduced precipitation in eastern Mongolia and the far eastern region of Great Goose Country."

"The area burned in Mongolia and Great Goose Country has exceeded two million hectares, with the fire front forming a narrow shape just tens of kilometers from our country."

"Firefighting teams have rushed to the border areas to create firebreaks, grassroots cadres mobilizing to evacuate border residents, ensuring the safety of people’s lives and property."

The television screen showed the raging fire and billowing black smoke, moving southeastward.

"Little Saber told me that Beidu already has smoggy days." Lin Wan said.

Lu Zheng couldn’t help but ask, "We usually hear about fires in California or Australia, why is it reaching our side this time, and so intense?"

Lin Wan shrugged, "Extreme weather is becoming more common. Even California and Australia never had wildfires this large before."

Lu Zheng nodded towards the firefighters on screen, "Can they manage it?"

"Of course, the fire is still far from the national boundary. With their efficiency, creating a firebreak is easy." Lin Wan said, "Even if there are areas they can’t cover or embers that cross into our country sparking small fires, they can extinguish those quickly."

Lu Zheng nodded, "That’s good."

Since the firefighters could handle it, Lu Zheng had no intention of intervening; he wasn’t interested in helping Mongolia and Great Goose Country put out fires.

However, while the wildfires could be contained outside the national boundary, the residual smoke that covered the sky couldn’t be stopped by anyone.

The sky over Beidu had already darkened.

The yellowish sky had visibility of barely a hundred meters.

And this smog didn’t just linger domestically but continued southward, carried by the northwest wind, across the ocean.

Then, discordant voices started to appear.

[Seoul Covered in Smog]

[Korean Experts Blame Hua Country for Severe Air Pollution, Affecting Korea]

[Korean Experts Say Hua Country Should Assume Responsibility as a Major Country]

"Ah Xiba! It’s all Hua Country’s fault!"

"Hua Country ruins the environment, affects us in Korea, and they should compensate us!"

Lately due to the smog in Beidu, this wildfire incident has generated quite a bit of buzz, with many news stories prompting netizens to share foreign comments back home.

"Do these people not watch the news?" Liu Qingyan came home from the hospital in the evening, hearing a few colleagues’ complaints about the matter, "Clearly, it’s the wildfire from Mongolia and the Great Goose Country."

"What can you do, we’re used to it." Lin Wan came out of the kitchen holding a plate of Braised Giant Shrimp and Braised Profound Snake, "No matter what the problem is, blaming Hua Country is always the right answer."

Liu Qingyan took off her outer wear, casually cast a cleaning spell on her hands, sat at the table, and her eyes lit up seeing the plate of five-spice roasted chicken at the center.

"Thank you, Lu Lang~"

Shen Ying smilingly sat next to Liu Qingyan, "We’ll make it up in the evening."

Liu Qingyan’s face flushed slightly, but she lightly bit her lip without objecting.

After being companions for so long, making it up a bit was only appropriate.

Lu Zheng, having washed his hands in the kitchen, brought out the last dish, "Let’s eat, let’s eat."

...

Liu Qingyan could see the news so naturally Lu Zheng could see it too.

Previously, being powerless, he could only vent online, but now having the ability, he certainly wouldn’t just vent online.

"Mongolia and the Great Goose Country falter, our firefighters are at the frontline, the northeastern forests and Beidu area block some, yet Korea still blames us."

"Do they really think we’re easy to bully!"

"So, you’re going to take action?" Lin Wan couldn’t help but ask, "What are you planning to do, you’re not going to set their forests on fire, are you?"

"Am I that kind of person?"

Lu Zheng shook his head, chuckled, "However, didn’t they say their smog was caused by Hua Country?"

"Well, I’m from Hua Country, so let me cause them some smog that even the wind can’t blow away; if they don’t breathe it all in, Seoul will always be shrouded in smog." Lu Zheng said lightly.

"Huh?" Lin Wan looked bewildered, having never expected Lu Zheng to have such a plan.

Lu Zheng pondered more and found it feasible. "I’ll forge a magical treasure tomorrow to maximize the collection of black smoke and smog, and then head to the fire scene to gather smoke."

Shen Ying took out her ceramic bottle, "You can use mine."

Lu Zheng asked, "Is there enough space in there?"

"Of course." Shen Ying nodded, "Collecting regular smog poses no problem at all."

"Alright, then we’ll go together tomorrow." Lu Zheng laughed heartily, "They keep blaming us; if we don’t act, aren’t we being wronged? That’s just so unfair!"
