Chapter 125 Chapter 125 Carnival. (10,000 nutrient solution plus more...)
The other person looked exactly as she remembered him.
But his expression seemed a little cold, and there seemed to be a little curiosity in his eyes, but not much emotion.
——This is also normal.
After all, he probably doesn't know her yet.
Su Cheng was thinking in a daze.
She knew that this guy was not young, but she didn't expect that he was also at the four-digit level.
Although many strong people among humans can live for hundreds of years, those who live for thousands of years are often very famous.
but--
If this guy had non-human blood, like high elves, he could have lived to be a thousand years old.
If one is very strong, then this number can be doubled, and compared to humans, the rank requirement is lower.
If humans want to live for two thousand years, they may need to reach level ten, while elves only need to reach level eight.
A bunch of thoughts flashed through Su Cheng's mind.
She hadn't forgotten that she had just tricked the Holy See's Paladins, and they were still chasing the Mirror Hidden Society, so there was no guarantee that he came for this.
The blond young man stood in the shadow of the ceiling, his perfect face, which looked like it was carved out of gold and white jade, still had no distinct expression.
Su Cheng took a closer look and didn't see much disgust or vigilance, so he walked a few steps towards that side while maintaining vigilance.
Considering that they didn't know each other now and what happened before, she spoke while guarding against the other party's sudden attack.
"Sir, is there anything on your mind?"
"Hmm?" The blond youth raised his eyebrows slightly. "What prompts you to ask?"
"You were in a busy city, using some kind of power that made it impossible for people to see you—"
Su Cheng looked around.
Judging from the reactions of passersby, they either didn't see his face, or they thought he looked like an ordinary passerby.
Otherwise, there will be some return rate.
"Except me," Su Cheng tilted his head, "so I'm a little curious. Also, I hope you're not here to accuse me, because that was just an accident."
"I do feel some different forces," he said noncommittally, "but I don't think you're responsible for anything, or we wouldn't be talking like this."
"Okay," Su Cheng sighed, "Then what are you doing here?"
He lowered his eyes to look at her, "As I said, I felt the power you used, so I came to see."
Su Cheng waited silently for his next words. However, Yian only looked at her quietly for a few seconds and then suddenly disappeared.
Su Cheng: “?”
Su Cheng: “…………”
Are you really just taking a look?
never mind.
It's not like she has nothing to do, so does she have to have something happen between her and him?
In the bustling market shrouded in the sunset glow, Su Cheng felt an inexplicable irritation, as if everything in front of him was beginning to become distorted.
However--
When she casually bought a few handmade accessories and returned to High Court to find Lu Xia, the bad feeling disappeared.
"Carnival?"
They sat on the black stone steps and looked up at the night sky. The courtyard in front of them was quiet, with only the occasional rustling of insects.
The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, revealing a cold moon, but it was obscured by a hazy blue-purple mist.
Considering that the Moon God is also a subordinate of the God of Light, it is probably necessary to block this kind of power.
"Yes."
The black-haired young man supported his hands behind his back and tilted his face slightly, revealing his beautifully-defined jaw.
"But I have to attend the Holy Chant Ceremony tomorrow, so I might not be able to join you—but that's not important. I heard there will be a lot of fun and delicious food, so you can relax."
He suddenly turned his head and said, "By the way, thank you for speaking up for me in front of Monsieur Montagne."
Su Cheng was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"
"…We met before, and he gave me some pointers, mentioning 'she seemed to admire you.'"
Lu Xia said a little embarrassedly, "Although he didn't say who it was, I guess it was you. No one else would mention me in front of him except you. After all, he obviously doesn't like me."
He paused, looking at her seriously. "Thank you. Even though I seem to thank you all the time, I don't know what else to say."
"Nothing," Su Cheng couldn't help laughing, "I don't care what he thinks, I'm just saying what I feel."
The two men stood up and walked side by side through the corridor. In the hall where several aisles converged, they met another group of people.
Those people were all very tall, with long, pointed horns with horizontal whorls on their heads, and black tails that rose or fell behind their waists, with the bone spurs at the end gathered into a heart shape.
Their skin color was either light or dark, but all of them were extremely smooth, and in the candlelight, it glowed with a jade-like luster.
Su Cheng took two more glances.
Those people looked at her almost at the same time.
Some people winked at her, some licked their lips and wagged their tails as they looked at her, and one person even reached out and touched her face.
Su Cheng held her wrist and greeted her with a smile, "Hello, Your Excellency."
The man laughed out loud, as clear as a silver bell. "Good night."
The long, pitch-black tail stretched out flexibly, and was about to touch the thigh.
Su Cheng silently took a step to the side, "I won't disturb you anymore, it looks like you have something else to do."
The succubi looked at her with different expressions.
"Let's go." The leader said impatiently, "...still waiting for us."
Those cold, ice-blue eyes were filled with a certain anxiety.
Su Cheng looked at him for a second.
The man had dark brown curly hair, like an ancient tree bathed in moonlight, and strange black lines spread across his pale skin.
His upper body was half naked, and the vine-like lines coiled down along the muscles of his shoulders and neck, wrapped around his lean waist and abdomen, and sank into the crotch.
He has a handsome and cool face, and his light irises make him look a little cold, but also highlight a peculiar charm that is difficult to approach.
The thin rose-red lips were naturally upturned, and even though her expression was indifferent, she looked like she was half smiling.
Su Cheng's heart was beating almost uncontrollably.
——That was definitely not an emotional touch, but an instinct influenced by the power of the succubus.
The moment she looked into his eyes, those blue eyes, as cold as a frozen lake, seemed to exude a chill that enveloped her.
Pulling her into the intoxicating cold.
as well as.
She found that this person was an acquaintance in some sense.
The fugitive who ran into her bedroom on the first night of her journey had a face like this.
Succubi obviously have a variety of personalities, and not all of them are welcoming.
For example, this leader.
He looked at the two people in front of him. His eyes were originally a little irritated, but soon changed. "...Dragonborn?"
The other succubi looked at each other in bewilderment.
He took two steps forward and asked, "Why would the master bestow the gift upon the Dragonborn?"
Su Cheng raised his eyebrows, "You said that thing on me is a gift?"
"Huh?" He crossed his muscular arms. "What else?"
Su Cheng: “…”
When he first met this succubus, he could swear that it was a curse.
How come it has become a gift now?
"That was a test," the succubus said in a deep voice, with even a hint of jealousy in her eyes. "I really don't know why He chose you—"
"Wait," Su Cheng interrupted him, "So it's different from the usual marks of those favored by God? He's testing me? What's the test? So what if I pass it?"
"You'll need to dig it out yourself," the succubus glanced at her. "I think this is part of the test."
After saying this, he left without looking back.
The rest of the succubi also followed, and some of them kept turning back to cast seductive glances.
Su Cheng stared at their backs.
“…You have it too?” Lu Xia looked at her in shock. “I didn’t feel anything at all—”
Su Cheng maintained his original bewildered expression, "What?"
Lu Xia had obviously misunderstood. "Don't you know? That's Lord Leiriel... The master the succubus is talking about is His Majesty the God of Desire."
Su Cheng held his forehead.
Now she was 100% sure that her curse came from the God of Desire, but it was obviously different from the ordinary marks of those favored by God.
She decided to pretend that the bastard Vole was dead, and turned around and plunged into the Tower of All Knowledge, searching for various information about the God of Desire.
However, no useful information was found.
At dusk the next day, several clergymen from the tower came to call her and asked if she wanted to go with them to the carnival celebrations.
The celebration is next door in Twilight City, a vibrant port city nestled on the edge of the shadows cast by the mountains that form Highgarden.
It is a festival held at the junction of spring and summer. According to legend, ancient gods once came to the world on this day, singing and dancing with mortals and indulging in the joy of life.
When Su Cheng heard this story, he subconsciously thought of a certain god.
It seemed like He had ignored her for a long time.
Is it because she hasn't been happy lately?
Even a little bit of missing.
The entire Twilight City was immersed in a jubilant atmosphere. Although obscured by the dark shadows of the mountains, the lights in the city were like falling stars.
Countless paper lanterns hang high on the roofs, eaves and trees along the roadside. The shining phosphorus glows in the night, like countless plump fruits.
Glass jars filled with colorful Noctiluca scintillans are placed in the open windows of every household.
Beautiful magic crystal bonfires were built in squares of all sizes. The colorful flames roared and rose up, casting mottled light and shadows on the swaying crowd.
Su Cheng walked on the crowded street, looking at this colorful world in shock.
She heard the sounds of drums and bagpipes, and the musicians played cheerful dance music.
The streets were still filled with the tempting aroma of grease and meat.
Sausages and fish skewers sizzled on the grill as vendors packed fresh-baked pies into paper bags or poured cider from copper pots into wooden mugs.
The companions quickly dispersed, and in all directions, there were strong drum beats, applause, finger snaps, as well as all kinds of unbridled laughter, screams, and impromptu singing.
Su Cheng bought two grilled sausages and nibbled on them. At first he could appreciate them like an outsider, but soon he was gradually swept away by the carnival noise.
Her mood also inexplicably improved.
All the previous confusions and doubts temporarily subsided.
She threw the iron skewers into the basket, and someone stuffed something into her hand. It was a mask that only covered the lower half of her face. It was very light, probably made of paper.
The outside was painted with layers of dazzling colors, outlining a vague smiling face.
Su Cheng checked and simply put on a mask to blend into the crowd.
She seemed to have entered a sea of masks: the sun, moon and stars, flourishing flowers, ferocious animal heads, or various human facial expressions. Countless styles of colorful masks, combined with various oil-painted patterns, feather shawls, tasseled skirts, and jingling metal ornaments, all concealed everyone's identity, leaving only souls immersed in happiness.
The wonderful feeling of relaxation grew deeper, and as the drum beats became more passionate, the crowd roared like a tsunami.
A group of dancers in feathered miniskirts pushed a float burning with blue and purple flames past the intersection and were immediately surrounded.
People rushed to take the flowers wrapped in flames from the car.
The dancers threw the flowers into the air, and then casually shot out air blades. The flowers were immediately blown into the air and flew all over the sky, floating down like colorful rain of fire.
The flowers were obviously enchanted. Although the flames on them were burning fiercely, they were not hot at all and felt cool to the touch.
The streets were filled with swaying lights and booming music. The crowds danced and cheered to the drum beats, and the refreshing night breeze blew on their faces.
Su Cheng jumped with the crowd, feeling as if he had broken free from some invisible constraints, and the whole world turned into a background that suddenly faded away.
In a daze, someone seemed to hold her hand, leading her forward and turning around.
Then a soft kiss on the lips.
She felt as if she had tasted the sweetest nectar and honey wine, and the joy in her heart burst out like a tide.
The moment he opened his eyes, Su Cheng saw golden and silver hair floating by.
It was as if the refined moonlight blossomed into flowers in the light.
The next second, all the noise and restlessness returned to silence.
Through the swaying crowd, Su Cheng saw a figure standing under the eaves.
The man was very tall and looked a little thin, with raven-black curly hair tied casually and cascading down to his waist like a waterfall.
He wore a black feather-trimmed mask that only covered the skin around his eyes, revealing his high nose bridge and perfectly shaped chin.
The man was not completely still, and seemed to be swaying slightly to the rhythm of the music.
However, his movements were very small, with a kind of detached clarity and appreciation, like a quiet reef in a whirlpool.
However, what really caught her attention and suddenly cooled the heated atmosphere on the street were those eyes.
Those deep and melancholy eyes were the purest black without a trace of impurities, dark yet bright.
It is like the obsidian reflecting the moonlight at midnight, or the shining stars in the night sky.
Under the thick and long eyelashes, the eyes hidden in the shadow of the brow bone have a heart-pounding depth, like an ancient sea glacier that has been silent for billions of years.
