Glancing at Yang Zhijun, Liu Xingchuan shook his head helplessly. This guy was still thinking about this. Sure enough, his life was too comfortable.
"Let's go, find a teahouse and have some tea!" Liu Xingchuan smiled and said lightly, and then he coughed again.
This attracted the attention of Yang Zhijun and Shui Yun'er. Logically speaking, it is impossible for cultivators to cough. What is going on? Could it be the sequelae of frostbite from Ling Jue Water not long ago?
"Xiaochuan, why are you coughing?" After thinking for a while, Shui Yun'er asked.
His words made Liu Xingchuan stunned. He had not noticed this yet. After carefully recalling it for a moment, he smiled faintly and said: "I don't know, maybe it's because of frostbite from Ling Jue Water. I saved Yi last time."
It left some sequelae when I was pregnant, and it’s probably even more serious this time!”
"Who is Yiyi?" Shui Yun'er asked curiously after hearing this. As soon as she heard it, she knew it was a woman's name. During this period, Shui Yun'er felt that she was more sensitive to the women around Liu Xingchuan.
"A friend!" Liu Xingchuan said lightly. When he mentioned Yiyi, he really missed that cute little guy.
As he spoke, Liu Xingchuan ignored everyone and slowly walked towards a teahouse not far away.
The tea house does not look very luxurious on the outside, but the internal structure is very novel. The structure of the entire room is a huge hexagon, and there is no support in the middle. It looks like it is standing out of thin air.
As soon as he entered the teahouse, Liu Xingchuan felt an indescribable sense of comfort. The faint fragrance of tea surrounded everyone, and tunes came from nowhere, gently and half intoxicated.
Finding a seat near the window and sitting down, Liu Xingchuan took a deep breath of the surrounding aroma. He closed his eyes in fascination and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He liked this feeling, and he had not experienced this feeling for a long time.
.
As soon as the three of them sat down, an old man came up quickly carrying a teapot with a long spout. After pouring a cup for each of them, he smiled and went to greet others.
Liu Xingchuan picked up the tea cup. An indescribable fragrance spread around his nose, and a faint steam rose, blurring his eyes.
After taking a sip, a slight sweetness passed through my throat, followed by a faint bitterness that reached my heart.
"Good tea!" Liu Xingchuan smiled and couldn't help but praise.
At this moment, a clear sound of "ding" was heard, and then a rough voice came into everyone's ears: "What is this? I asked you to bring out the best tea, so you use this to trick your uncle."
?”
Following the sound, I saw a bearded man, shirtless, glaring at the old man not far away with wide eyes.
The old man quickly put down the teapot and trotted to the man's side. He smiled and said, "I'm so sorry, sir. The shop only has this kind of stuff, which makes me laugh!"
Just as the old man finished speaking, the man suddenly slapped the old man to the ground and kept shouting: "Why are you laughing? How dare you call this the top tea in the Shuijian area?"
At this time, almost everyone in the teahouse was looking at the quarreling people with smiles on their faces, drinking tea and watching a show. It would be great if life could always be like this.
Liu Xingchuan glanced at the man and took a sip of tea without saying anything. What the man said made him understand that this man was simply looking for trouble, and the indifference of the people around him made him feel chilled.
The old man spit out a fallen tooth, slowly got up from the ground, and said apologetically: "I didn't say these words, they are just nonsense from tea tasters, please be careful!"
"I'll check..." When the man heard that the old man dared to talk back, he roared and slapped him again.
Only this time, his slap did not fall on the old man's face, but was stopped by a young man who suddenly appeared.
"My grandfather has already apologized to you, why do you hit someone?" the young man said angrily.
Seeing the young man who suddenly appeared and stopped the slap that was about to fall on his face, the old man quickly pulled the young man aside and said fiercely: "Who asked you to come out? Come in now!"
After finishing speaking, the old man walked up to the man who caused the trouble again and apologized: "My grandson Xue Xun is not sensible. You don't remember the faults of villains. Please forgive me!"
After hearing this, the man who caused the trouble laughed arrogantly and walked up to Xue Xun. He waved the black belt around his waist and said, "That's all!"
As he spoke, the man waved his palm again, hitting Xue Xun's face with a ferocious expression.
What people didn't expect was that his slap was blocked again.
"From the City of Despair?" Liu Xingchuan grabbed the man's arm and said lightly.
The man looked back at Liu Xingchuan, then his eyes fell on the black belt around his waist, and he smiled instantly.
After a moment, he said happily: "It turns out that my brother is also from the City of Despair. That's great! These two death-seeking things dare to offend us people from the City of Despair. Brother and I, let's catch them together and take credit!"
"Acting for credit?" Liu Xingchuan asked a little strangely after hearing this.
The man smiled and said: "Brother, are you just here? People from the City of Despair can grab mortals from the Shuijian area to claim credit. Not only will they not be punished, but they will also get a lot of rewards!"
His words instantly aroused Liu Xingchuan's anger. Do the people in the City of Despair only have such a little ambition now? Bullying ordinary people? And the managers of the City of Despair and the Shuijian area not only do not punish but also reward? This is
Why?
Thinking about it, the anger in Liu Xingchuan's heart rose again, and the energy in his body also exploded at this moment. After a moment, he whispered: "Summoning!"
As his voice fell, a faint fragrance of flowers spread throughout the teahouse, and Liu Xingchuan's body was completely surrounded by petals at this time, looking like an immortal descending to earth - the only regret is that Liu Xingchuan is a man, otherwise he would definitely be bewitched
Most of the people in the teahouse are men.
"Give you one second to disappear before my eyes!" Liu Xingchuan's cold voice, surrounded by flower petals, spread, and Yang Zhijun on the side knew that he was really angry this time.
The man was stunned for a moment, he never expected that things would develop in this direction.
"Summoning!"
"Meow!"
A black kitten appeared at Yang Zhijun's feet. His summoning technique was successful for the first time during his seventh-level demon realm.
"Get out of here!" Yang Zhijun walked up to Liu Xingchuan and said fiercely to the man.
The man glared at the two of them, then flew away and disappeared.
Liu Xingchuan looked at the man's disappearing back and sighed secretly. If he and Xiaojun hadn't succeeded in summoning each other, this confrontation might have turned into a fight, and there was no guarantee who would win.
After the old man thanked Xue Xun for a while, Liu Xingchuan, Yang Zhijun and Shui Yun'er quickly left the teahouse. They knew that the man would not give up easily. If he stayed there, he might attract more trouble for them.
Big trouble.
After leaving the teahouse, Liu Xingchuan walked towards the largest building in the center of the "stream" without saying a word.
"Xiaochuan, what are you going to do?" Xiaojun looked at the direction the three of them were heading. Isn't this the direction to sign up for the Princess Guard test site? What is Xiaochuan going to do?
"The princess is looking for guards, I'll sign up!" Liu Xingchuan said calmly without looking back.
His words surprised both Yang Zhijun and Shui Yun'er. They clearly remembered Liu Xingchuan's firm refusal not long ago, so why did he take the initiative to sign up now?
Thinking of this, Yang Zhijun quickly grabbed Liu Xingchuan and said anxiously: "I was joking before, but don't take it seriously. If we really become the princess's bodyguard, we will have no freedom!"
Liu Xingchuan glanced at Yang Zhijun, why didn't he know what he said? But if he didn't become a princess guard, he really didn't know what he could do in the future!
Continue to stay in the city of despair and live a leisurely life? Haha, I don’t want to become a walking dead without any goals, no fighting spirit, and the only fun is to bully mortals!
A life that is too comfortable will eventually make people unable to see the way forward clearly and lose their direction.
Liu Xingchuan vaguely remembered that his father and mother were killed. Among the five murderers, the only ones he knew so far were You Long and Crystal. What was even more despicable was that he was not strong enough to take revenge.
Later, Grandpa Zhuang was killed, and the only clue was cut off due to the destruction of Yueming Valley.
There is also the safety rope given to him by his mother, as well as the words she asked him to remember, the time limit his father gave him to break through each realm, the sudden stop of love, the mysterious woman who appeared when he was injured in the fight with Zhang Hongwei, and what appeared on his body after he was injured and fell into coma.
of powerful blue energy…
All of this was once so clear to me, but now when I think about it, it feels like it has been a long time, so long that it has turned into fragmented memories.
why is that?
Because my life this year has been too comfortable, and I have adapted to this comfort. What is even more frightening is that this comfort is slowly eroding my ambition, confusing my goals, and blocking the way forward.
Once a person loses his purpose, he becomes a real zombie.
At this time, Liu Xingchuan has gradually understood the true meaning of the city of despair - despair has nothing to do with survival, but is just the product of decadent thinking.
"It's not scary not to have freedom, but the scary thing is not having a goal!" Liu Xingchuan glanced at Yang Zhijun, and at this time he remembered what Zhiqing once said to him.
"The little brother is right. If a person doesn't know what he needs, then he is pathetic! This is what a friend once said to me!" Liu Xingchuan's voice had just finished. He was a little old and a little familiar.
came the voice.
Liu Xingchuan followed the voice and found out that the speaker was the old man who had led the three people into the water stream area before.
"Old man, why are you here?" Liu Xingchuan said happily after seeing that it was the old man. He admired this old man who could ignore his own safety for the sake of his grandchildren.
