Chapter 104 The enemy is in the open while I am in the dark. I have the advantage. How can I lose?

Mr. Li ran all over Fujiao City but couldn't find the dragon fruit.

The fruit seller was scared half to death by him. How can you eat a fire dragon? Once it spits fire, it will burn you to death.

What? It's a pitaya, not a dragon. Can a dragon produce fruit? Is it grafted with a fruit demon?

Mr. Li couldn't explain it to them clearly and returned to the Li Mansion feeling exhausted.

As soon as the door opened, a small dragon as thick as a finger opened its mouth and blew a puff of thick smoke at him. There was just a little fire in the smoke, which burned his hair, singeing a few strands of hair. It gave off a foul odor.

Li Sheng, who was instantly covered in dust, wiped his face and said, "...Where did the fire dragon come from?" How could there really be one!

"I just caught it." Master Liaochen, who was wearing a cassock, raised her hand and grabbed it. Her fingers were like iron clamps, holding the skin on the back of the neck of the little dragon that wanted to rush out of the house. Her face was exactly as dirty and dusty as Li Sheng's.

Li Sheng looked closely and found that half of her robe was missing.

"Master, did you have a fight with its parents?"

"No," said Master Liaochen. Just as Li Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, she continued, "It had a fight with its parents and grandparents."

Li Sheng: “…”

Li Sheng glanced at the flapping little dragon and said with pity: "Alas, it's still young... Let's steam it."

If you want to eat during the day, there is nothing you can do about it.

The little dragon cried out, and Master Liaochen pinched the dragon's mouth, shook her head and said, "I asked Zhou'er, and she didn't want to eat this."

"I said that the pitaya is not the dragon fruit... What should we do now? Give it back?" Li Sheng glanced at Dalang who was running over with a basin of water. The boy was quite quick.

"Keep it in here," Dalang held up the basin, "You can play with it when your sister gets bored."

Little dragon: "..."

The little dragon was almost furious. He was the Third Prince of Tuhe. He had always been the one to treat others as toys. When would it be the turn of mortals to play with him?

Ahhhh, just wait for it. Its parents and grandparents have already sent messages to the Lord of Northern Wilderness Water and the Lord of Southern Yu Water. When the time comes, all the shrimp soldiers and crab generals will arrive to flood Fujiao City. Let's see if these mortals can still laugh!

Hey, there seemed to be a flood a while ago, and I don’t know how it ended... It just so happens that these people probably haven’t recovered yet, let’s see how the dragons will kill people in this Li Mansion...

The little dragon was put into the basin of water by Master Lechen, but he was not in a hurry. The scene of his elders cutting these people into pieces appeared in his mind. He couldn't help wagging his tail and was very happy.

Li Sheng looked at the cheerful little dragon in confusion. He was worried that it would resist just now, but why did it become so happy when it heard that it would be a toy for Zhu'er?

Could it be that Zhu'er's good reputation has reached the ears of the demons?

How could it not be a great honor to be Zhuer's toy?

Li Sheng quickly convinced himself and ran into the house with the little dragon in his arms: "Zhou'er, Dalang said that we can keep it as a plaything even if we don't want to eat it. I think it likes ours very much. Why don't we give it some face and keep it here?"

In Yue Niang's arms, the half-asleep baby Li Zhou looked at the little dragon in the basin with sleepy eyes, not paying attention to the dragon's sudden stiffness. He nodded and said, "If it likes it, it can stay."

Maybe it will become more delicious when it grows bigger.

Mr. Li placed the little dragon on the antique display shelf, wondering whether he should order a custom-made fish tank. He saw the little dragon shrink to the bottom of the water, its body trembling constantly, causing ripples on the water surface.

Are you hungry?

He thought about it and went out to find fish food.

The little dragon's tears melted into the water in the basin. The fish cried, the water knew it, and so did the dragon.

Wuuuu mother, where are you? The world outside is completely different from what you said. Not only are mortals not weak, but even a baby carries an ominous and terrifying aura. Just a glance can make people feel as if they have fallen into a forbidden abyss.

We the dragon clan are the weak ones, wuwuwu mother, come and save us...

The baby Li Zhou naturally could not hear the little dragon's cry of “Help, save, save!”. The high school student Li Zhou was already contentedly holding a full cup of dragon juice and drinking it up happily.

Freshly squeezed dragon fruit juice is exceptionally sweet and delicious. The only drawback is that some of the seeds are not completely crushed. When you bite them, they are crunchy and you can hear a scream of "ah".

A bit noisy.

Fortunately, Li Zhou was not a person who was afraid of noise. He chewed hard and soon finished all the seeds.

I have to say, dragon fruit is indeed a great laxative. Not long after eating it, Li Zhou rushed into the bathroom.

Big things in life, easily solved.

Cool.

Li Zhou, feeling refreshed, took a bath carefully, brushed his teeth, and followed Ren Yingyue to worship the Moon God.

The thin veil on the statue of the Star God had disappeared, and Li Zhou naturally did not notice it.

Outside the window, night falls and a full moon hangs on the treetops, emitting a cool and soft glow.

Li Zhou felt sleepy, yawned, changed into pajamas and returned to the bedroom.

Ren Yingyue tucked the quilt in for her with her good hand. She forced her eyelids open and said sensibly, "Mom, you've worked hard. You should go to bed soon."

"Mom will wait until you fall asleep before leaving." Ren Yingyue brushed the hair off Li Zhou's eyelids and looked at her mouth. "It looks like your anger has subsided."

"Then my next meal will be roasted lamb legs, roasted pig's trotters, roasted corn, roasted gluten, roasted potatoes and clams and vermicelli..."

His voice became smaller and smaller, but he still insisted on listing the names of the dishes.

"Okay," Ren Yingyue kissed her face, watched her eyes fall, and said in her ear, "Baby, if you like it, eat more."

Outside the city of Pudu in the 21st year of Yongxi, Zhi Beiyou transformed into thousands of sword shadows and flew back to the swordsman Li Zhou, reforming into a big sword.

The sunset and the evening glow had disappeared, and the sword was surrounded by a cold sword energy. Each ray of sword energy was like a fat white worm with a full belly.

The swordsman Li Zhou showed a satisfied expression, and his figure changed from solid to illusory. Not long after, he merged again with the Li Zhou of Pingkang who had lived for sixty years.

In the restaurant's private room, the bodies of the waiter and the cuckoo were lying on the ground, and slowly disappeared as Li Zhou's figure emerged.

The blood that had stained the folding fan that Master's Wife Nie Hong held up with a paper ribbon slowly dissipated.

Nie Hong and Xiao Lu, whose faces were frozen with shock and anxiety, melted like ice.

The motionless river of time, like a river during the spring flood season, resumes its flow with a roar.

Gao Congxu held Xiao Lu who was rushing over and saw her mouth opening and closing. It was as if the tinnitus suddenly disappeared, and the sounds of talking, footsteps, and breathing all rushed into his ears.

"Your Highness! It's all because of my incompetence that I didn't realize that this cuckoo blood can be activated without any contact. How do you feel now? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Are you mentally clear? How can you recognize this..."

"Xiao Lu." Xiao Lu was in a panic and didn't hear this, so Gao Congxu had to raise his voice, "Xiao Lu!" After the other party quieted down, he softened his voice, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Xiao Lu panted, self-blame flashed in his bright eyes, and nodded: "Yes."

The king and his subjects get along well here, but something is weird on the other side.

Nie Hongben also rushed towards the swordsman Li Zhou as soon as he realized something was wrong, but he didn't expect that the next moment, while everyone else was paying attention to the prince, the swordsman quickly stuffed the fan, which had not yet completely faded from its blood-red color, into his mouth, stretched his neck, and swallowed it.

Nie Hong turned abruptly and stood in front of the swordsman calmly to prevent anyone from seeing him and ruining the swordsman's image.

Although the barbarian girl A'piu did not have the reaction speed of Nie Hong and Xiao Lu, she also saw that the swordsman suddenly ate something.

She looked at Gongsun Jianxia in confusion. Although she didn't know why the swordsman was so eager to eat that thing, how could she stop him if he wanted to eat it?

Whatever a benefactor does is reasonable. Even if it is unreasonable, it must be wrong.

Swordsman Li Zhou is innocent.

She just kept the good habit of not wasting food, so she ate the blood-stained fan before the blood disappeared.

Li Zhou, who had no idea that he had already beaten the other person's body into a paste and eaten and drank everything, felt puzzled as he ate in vain.

The mouth and the stomach argued for a long time, but neither could convince the other, and both thought that the other was wrong.

Glancing at the cuckoo and the waiter disappearing beside him, and thinking of the equally fading afterglow of the setting sun, Li Zhou vaguely understood something. After thinking for a while, he still didn't fully understand.

Gao Congxu cast his gaze towards the swordsman Li Zhou, and recalled Xie Lingwei's repeated admonitions before he came back: "If you still want to ascend the throne, stay as far away from Him as possible. He should not have appeared in this mortal world. Once the fate of mortals is related to Him, they are destined to leave early. This is the price you deserve, and it is also the last mercy of the gods... Don't be lucky. Goodbye, I wish you a name in history."

Gao Congxu certainly knew how much secrets Xie Lingwei had leaked while saying "the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed".

Xie Lingwei let her know that she would die young in the future, and every word she said hinted to her that if she made arrangements early, she might be able to change her fate.

But the premise is to forget about the invasion of the gods, forget about Xue Jingzhen, Xie Lingwei and...

Forget Xue Jingzhen and Xie Lingwei... Has she forgotten something? Why does she subconsciously feel that there is still someone?

Recalling the word "leave" that Xie Lingwei said, Gao Congxu seemed to be thinking about something.

She couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

If she had not seen the era when everyone could live with dignity, she might not have felt so regretful.

She was destined to never be able to transform her country into such a beautiful place.

In her world, the most urgent need is still to survive, and dignity is still out of reach.

The throne, great achievements, and eternal fame... these are all desirable and fascinating things.

But if the person is gone, what is the meaning of all this.

Man stands between heaven and earth, so how can he ignore the sky above his head?

Gao Congxu walked towards the swordsman and said calmly, "Aying, do you still remember to become sworn brothers with me? After this battle, I feel that Aying and I are indeed of the same mind. As the saying goes, when gold wind meets jade dew, we are so compatible. Why don't we become sworn brothers now?"

According to her understanding, the more human anchors he has, the better.

If she knew it but turned a blind eye to it, then she would no longer be herself.

Behind her, Xiao Lu frowned, feeling something was wrong, but he held back and didn't stop it.

Nie Hong noticed that the swordsman had finished eating and quietly stepped aside.

Swordsman Li Zhou looked at Gao Congxu and nodded happily: "Then let's swear an oath of blood!"

Gao Congxu was about to agree when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a shadow appearing on the frosty white ground under the bright light of the full moon.

She immediately looked out the window.

Everyone was startled, and followed her gaze, only to see four pagodas appear in the night sky at some point, with a twisted large character on each tower:

【Earth, Water, Wind, Fire】

"This is..." Xiao Lu put his hand on the knife, his breathing became rapid, "...the four great Vajras of earth, water, wind and fire in the legendary Nirvana world."

Gao Congxu looked down at the disappearing shadow, then looked up at the cold full moon. He realized that the unreasonable shadow just now was a reminder from the Moon God.

In the seven temples of the twenty-first year of Yongxi, the brief silence after the night fell disappeared, and the sound of giggling was heard again.

The enemy is in the open, I am in the dark, the advantage is on my side, how can I lose?
