Chapter 406 Talking All Night

No one expected that a person who was so shameless just now would say these words seriously now.

The woman in front of her was stunned. She could feel a kind of pressure, and the source of that pressure was the man in front of her who looked handsome but had no real appearance.

Turning around, Lu Sheng left, but of course, he still had to take what he needed to take. After all, he had to eat after all the pretense.

So, when the woman came to her senses, she found that there were two dishes missing from her table.

Yes, one more plate than others.

Seeing Lu Sheng come back, both Xiaobai and Xier could feel that although this guy was still so crooked, he seemed a little angry.

As for why he was angry, no one knew, and no one found out.

No one took his last words seriously, of course, everyone thought it was just a crazy joke.

Only at an inconspicuous table in the corner, a middle-aged man wearing aristocratic robes looked at Lu Shenglai.

Next to him, several people who seemed to be servants had put their hands on the handles of the swords at their waists. If Lu Sheng dared to come over, they would immediately draw their swords.

After all, the person they want to protect is not just a wealthy businessman.

But Lu Shengchen didn't come over, and their table was the only one that Lu Shengchen didn't visit.

Everything just happened was seen by the middle-aged man. His eyes were complicated. You could see that there was a trace of fatigue and a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

However, he did not show it. From the details of his momentum and movements, it can be seen that although he is an ordinary person, he has a majesty that is not inferior to that of an immortal.

Even, her arrogance is higher than that of an immortal, but he does not lack the courage to lower his head.

Sometimes, bowing your head does not mean you are weak, but bowing your head means you can stand better.

Hearing Lu Shengcheng's words, he felt very confused, but in the end, he didn't say a word.

"Your Majesty, this person should be just a liar. The appearance of an immortal should not be like this."

A man who looked like a butler next to him spoke.

The middle-aged man looked at him deeply, then shook his head and spoke.

"I didn't expect that the person who understands me best is actually a liar."

Getting up, he left.

From the beginning to the end, he never made eye contact with Lu Shenglai, but when he left, Lu Shenglai raised his head and smiled at the man's back.

Xiao Bai was no longer embarrassed at this time. The food on the table was delicious and he didn't notice this at all.

Putting a mouthful of meat into her mouth, Xiaobai's face was stained with a little sauce. Lu Sheng couldn't help but smile. He stretched out his hand to wipe the stuff off her face and then spoke.

"Look at you, sometimes you act like an adult and seem to know everything, and sometimes you act like a child. It's really strange. You don't have any second personality, do you?"

When Xiaobai said this, he was fine, but Xier next to him trembled.

"cut!"

Hei Xi snorted disdainfully, but soon changed his tone and spoke in a deep voice.

"The group of people who went out just now should not be simple businessmen, and I have a feeling that that bastard should be here just for these people."

Xi'er didn't understand. She turned around and glanced at the door, only to find that no one was there.

"So, he's not just here for fun, but does he have some purpose?"

"Yeah." Hei Xi nodded.

"The world is getting really weird."

"Ugh! It hurts!"

Xiaobai suddenly screamed. Xi'er looked back and found that Xiaobai and Lu Sheng were fighting over a chicken leg.

Lu Sheng then pinched Xiaobai's face and shook it, causing Xiaobai to scream repeatedly.

Xiaobai didn't show any weakness, and stretched out her hand to scratch him while screaming, but because of her small body and short hands, she couldn't reach him, so she could only wave her arms in the air and watch Lu Sheng happily chewing on the chicken legs.

"Huh? Stop it, stop making trouble..."

"Hey, I really am! How dare you bully Xiaobai, Xi'er! Go and help!"

"Ah!? But..."

The scene was a little chaotic for a moment.

But this was just a small episode. After dinner, Lu Sheng came to take Xiaobai and the others out to play.

Although there were few entertainment facilities in this era, they were still very lively.

Walking on the road, Xiaobai held a candied haws in his hand, and the excited smile on his face never stopped.

The city streets at night are much more beautiful than during the day, and of course, they are also much livelier.

Walking on the road, noisy streets can also make them yell.

This night may have been a happy one, at least Xiaobai was happy, having fun, and had nothing on his mind.

As for Xi'er, she just stayed with Xiaobai. Of course, she didn't forget the most important thing, which was how to end this world and get out.

After simple calculations by him and Hei Xi, Taixu Mountain may be the most likely place.

Soon, it was getting late at night, and the vendors on the street gradually closed their stalls. Of course, it became much quieter.

Lu Sheng was walking on the way back, carrying Xiao Bai who was already asleep on his back.

Xi'er followed behind, saw the smile on Xiaobai's face, and opened her mouth with the same smile.

"I haven't seen Xiaobai look so happy for a long time."

Yes, ever since Xiaobai's character began to grow, Xi'er had never seen her do anything so innocently, casually or happily.

Now, instead, she saw the original Xiaobai, the one who knew nothing, was very innocent, and was also very lively.

Carrying Xiaobai on their backs, they approached the tavern they had booked.

The road was not far, and the night wind blew. It was rare for them to walk on the road so quietly, admiring the night view.

When they got downstairs from the building manager, Lu Sheng put down Xiaobai and wanted to hand her over to Xi'er, but at this moment, Xiaobai subconsciously hugged his arm with both hands.

"Don't go, don't... go... again..."

Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment and listened to Xiaobai, who was still sleeping, speaking. He didn't know if this sentence was meant for him.

But guess not, after all, they had only known each other for a short time.

But even so, he smiled. This time there was no emotion in the smile, just a smile.

Maybe even he himself didn't understand why he was laughing. Maybe it was because at that moment he felt very warm, really, very warm.

It's just a pity that tonight is the last time.

Time passed, and the night was already very deep. In another room, a middle-aged man got up from the bed.

He couldn't sleep, so he walked to the bed and opened the window.

Looking at the moonlight, he sighed.

"Why does it have to be like this..."

The bitterness in his eyes was all revealed on his face at this moment, but it was also filled with despair.

"Is there a fire?"

At this moment, a voice sounded from the side.

The middle-aged man was stunned, turned around, and found a man lying on the window sill in the window of the next room. His long blue hair was looming in the moonlight, with a gentle smile on his handsome face, and he looked at himself. .

The middle-aged man was stunned for the last moment, but he was not too surprised and instead gave a wry smile in return.

"The emperor of the Ming Empire actually lived here, should I be surprised?"

Lu Shengchen shrugged.

The emperor of the Ming Empire did not have any airs of an emperor. He observed Lu Shenglong carefully and finally spoke.

"You are Rikuo, right? You are really an immortal."

"Huh? Is my name so famous?" Lu Sheng asked, pretending to be surprised.

He nodded.

"Moreover, it is louder than Immortal Red Kite."

"That's not a good reputation." Lu Shengcheng shrugged again.

Then, the scene became quiet.

But after just a few breaths, the emperor sighed.

"Immortals and humans are of the same race."

"Yes, I know." Lu Sheng nodded.

He knew exactly what the emperor meant.

If future generations, children who grew up listening to the story, were to see it now, they would not believe it.

In their story, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty summoned the gods of China to fight against the invasion of demons, and then won.

But the fact is that the emperor of the Ming Empire did do that. Not only that, he also personally visited the Immortal Mountain, but no sect was willing to help.

The imperial border officers suffered heavy casualties, and they were simply not an enemy that humans could deal with.

The Immortal God of China was the last hope, but when he, the emperor of the Ming Empire, went there, he was turned away.

Immortals are arrogant, and they never take the disasters mentioned by humans as a problem, because they have the power to kill humans at will.

But only he, the emperor, knew that those were not just some simple demons, but an army of demons in the true sense, a terrifying existence that could flatten China.

However, when she told the immortals about this, she got only one answer: ignore it, or it didn't matter.

Now, he can only go to Taixu Mountain.

Yes, Taixu Mountain is the last part of the journey, but this is the saddest thing.

Who is Immortal Chi Yuan? She is the ancestor of the Immortals and Gods. She exists in China. Her existence not only represents the fixed point of the Immortals and Gods, but also serves as a divine needle that anchors the sea.

Without her, China would not be so peaceful. There are good and bad immortals. The reason why those immortals with ulterior motives did not go too far was simply because of the pressure from the ancestor of the immortals.

China cannot live without her, so unless absolutely necessary, no one would want her to leave China and go to the border to stop the demons.

But if the emperor wants to go, it proves that he has no other way. She went to all the sects, but the answer she got was always the same.

So he can only place his hope on tomorrow's trip to Taixu Mountain.

Although he knew that the hope was slim, he had to do it because he didn't know if the immortal gods could stop the demons when they rushed into China, but even if they could, by then, China would have been in chaos.

Maybe the immortals and gods can have a foothold, but what about the mortals? Where will they go? Even if the immortals win in the end, how many people will die in this long war?

The night was very long. An emperor and an immortal chatted like two migrant workers drinking on the carpet.

What did they talk about that night? Neither Xiaobai nor Xi'er knew. They didn't even know what happened last night.

All they knew was that Lu Sheng disappeared early the next morning. They didn't know where the guy went. He disappeared without any clues.

Xiaobai and Xier didn't think much about it. They left the town and returned to the foot of Taixu Mountain, and were ready to climb Taixu Mountain.

This journey was much simpler than they imagined, but halfway up the mountain, they met someone, a somewhat familiar woman...
