She became a god

what!

I remembered!

The man was dressed in thin clothes, with a slender figure, tears welling in his eyes, a jade-like face, and thin lips; he looked frail and weak.

He looks just like my older brother when I was a teenager!

In my memory, Lu Mingze looked just like that—frail and pitiful.

Ye Qingzhou asked him, "What's your name? Why are you here?"

The man's voice was extremely soft and gentle, sweet and soft, "My true form is a white lotus, the fifth in my family, and everyone calls me Brother Lianwu. My mother gave birth to five brothers, but only had one son, my sister. Three months ago, my sister fell seriously ill, and it took all our money to cure her. The family couldn't make ends meet, so they sold me, the best-looking one, to raise money."

If I remember correctly, my brother said that he was the fifth child in the Lu family generation.

Ye Qingzhou said, "Here are a thousand high-grade spirit stones. Take them and go home."

Upon hearing this, the man's face lit up with joy, and he said softly, "Thank you, kind lady."

Ye Qingzhou said, "Keep the money safe, take care of yourself, and don't ever show up in places like this again."

The man was extremely grateful and nodded repeatedly.

Ultimately, she transferred her affections; Ye Qingzhou could not accept that a man resembling Lu Mingze had become a plaything.

A short while later, Ye Qingzhou sent the nine handsome men to the Little Raccoon Clan by the employees of the bandit group, but even Fifth Brother had not left yet.

Seeing Ye Qingzhou's gaze on him, Lian Wuge blushed and whispered, "I am still a pure and innocent virgin, very clean. If you are not satisfied, I am willing to give you my first time to repay your great kindness."

Ye Qingzhou said decisively, "No need."

Upon hearing this, Fifth Brother's face turned pale, and he said mournfully, "Grandma, I am truly clean; my virginity is still intact."

From the moment a male demon is born, a virginity mark is placed on his arm. Except for marriages with his wife through a walking marriage or an arranged marriage, if the young boy mates with a woman from another clan, he will be beaten and locked up in the ancestral hall by the elders of his clan!

Ye Qingzhou said, "It's not a matter of cleanliness or not. I'm not interested in you. Go home!"

Lian Wu left in tears. As a traditional man, it was not easy to muster the courage to invite a woman to deflower him, but he was ruthlessly rejected.

He was now filled with self-loathing. How could he be so lewd and shameless? No wonder his grandmother looked down on him.

Although Grandma Eun didn't say it, she probably thought of him as a gold digger who was promiscuous and fickle.

Heaven have mercy, he's an honest and upright man, he would never be like those wild men who demand that their wives buy them this and that.

It's all because there are too many vain and materialistic men that his reputation as a conservative and simple good man has been damaged.

.........

Ye Qingzhou rubbed his temples. What on earth is going on?!

She must have been crazy to think that Fifth Brother was like an older brother.

My brother is such a dignified and reserved young man from a respectable family, how could he show such a fawning and obsequious expression?

It must have been too long since I'd seen my brother, so I only remembered his fragile little face as he quietly cried, and forgot his dignified and self-possessed demeanor.

Ye Qingzhou headed home. It was her first time returning home since losing her memory, and she was genuinely a little nervous.

Halfway there, I actually saw my brother!

But... why isn't my brother's hair as long as I remember?

Brother looks better with longer hair.

The older brother has grown up. Compared to the slender physique of the boy, he is taller and bears less resemblance to his fifth brother.

Her brother was keeping their father company to pass the time. When he saw her, his face lit up with surprise, but he didn't show it too much.

Very good, such a gentle, virtuous, and chaste man who adheres to male virtues and precepts is indeed worthy of being her brother!

"Dad, brother, I'm back!"

Wan Jun's voice, which hadn't been spoken for a long time, suddenly rang in Ye Qingzhou's mind: "Don't forget to ask Lu Sinian for the key to Yingdu. Once you have it, I'll help you find Yingdu."

Ye Qingzhou's already bright eyes lit up even more; such a good thing had actually happened!

Yes, we absolutely must!

"Zhouzhou, I have a few words I want to say to you privately."

"Brother, why don't you go back first? I'll talk to Dad for a bit, then I'll come find you."

Ye Qingzhou, clutching a quarter of the Yingdu key in his pocket, happily went to the appointment.

She then noticed that her brother was different in many ways today; for example, her usually shy brother actually took the initiative to start a conversation.

For example, my brother, who is usually polite and respectful, was seen with disheveled hair in private, and acted as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

My goodness!

What happened to the older brother before he lost his memory that caused such a drastic change?

"Zhouzhou, I want to go to the City of Mysteries. I want to revitalize the Lu family. Will you support me?"

Ye Qingzhou shook his head. "No. How can a man like you go to such a dangerous place? Besides, it is my responsibility as the clan leader to revitalize the Lu family. How can I let you shoulder this responsibility?"

"You just need to be beautiful and don't put yourself in any danger."

Lu Mingze was stunned. His ears turned red, and he slowly said, "Although I am just a young man, as a member of the Lu clan, I also have an obligation to assist you in revitalizing the Lu clan."

"Though I am not a woman, my heart is fiercer than any woman's. I am by no means the kind of coquettish little man. Rather than discussing fashionable makeup and cosmetics, I prefer to discuss how to restore the family's prestige. Rather than marrying a good wife, I would rather be your good subject."

Ye Qingzhou said with emotion, "Brother, I know you are an extraordinary man, but you are still a man. Men only need to stay under the tree to avoid the rain, and the task of charging into battle should be left to us women."

Lu Mingze pursed his lips, a mist rising in his eyes, "Zhouzhou, you still don't believe me!"

"Brother, this isn't about believing or not; it's about being willing to do it! You're my brother, I can't just stand by and watch you go to your death!"

Lu Mingze said firmly, "For you, for my uncle, for the Lu family, I must give it my all!"

"And what about yourself? Have you ever thought that you might die?"

Lu Mingze said, "If I really die in the City of Ghosts, I'll accept it. This is my fate!"

"Your life? Since you acknowledge me as your clan leader, your life is mine. I said I won't let you die, so don't even think about dying!"

A tear rolled down Lu Mingze's cheek. "Zhouzhou, what's the point of me staying here?"

“If I go to the City of the Strange, I still have a chance to become a god. If I stay here, I'll get nothing except the chance to see you and my uncle often.”

“Every time I see you or my uncle, I miss Yingdu more and more and I want to revitalize the Lu family.”

“Zhouzhou, my heart is empty, because almost all the people who once lived there are dead. Only you and my uncle are left of my clansmen, and even returning to Yingdu to collect the bodies of my dead clansmen is a problem.”

"However, if I could become a god, I could forcibly open Yingdu and help my deceased relatives to be laid to rest."

Ye Qingzhou sighed, pulled Lu Mingze into her arms, and gently patted his back. "Brother, we will find Yingdu sooner or later."
