Chapter 123 Luo Chuan vs. Lian Zhuo
However, Luo Chuan acted as if he hadn't seen her at all, and slowly sat down next to Hua Li.
Beneath the gilded mask, his heterochromatic eyes stared unblinkingly at the Soul-Gathering Bottle in Huali's hand. "Little Huali secretly cut her finger just for this?"
Jealousy spread like wildfire in his heart, but Luo Chuan remained calm and composed. "If the Buddhist disciple has any hidden ailments, he should speak frankly."
Buddhist disciple? Huali blinked. Luochuan was quite polite, immediately giving Lianzhuo a high-class welcome.
"Little Flower Pear was previously well taken care of by the Buddha, so I can help out out of consideration for that. After all, it is I who feel the most pain when Little Flower Pear is injured."
Ao Bai: Hiss—
Completely oblivious to anything amiss, Huali looked at Luo Chuan who had suddenly appeared and asked, "Your demon clan's affairs have been resolved so quickly?"
The answer was naturally no. But when Luo Chuan recalled the scene he had seen in the water mirror, his smile froze. "What? Has my timing been off? Have I disturbed you?"
Huali: "?" What's with this person being so sarcastic?
Seeing that the lunatic had taken some wrong medicine again, Huali was used to it and simply ignored it. But to her surprise, the usually calm and collected Buddhist disciple unexpectedly picked up the conversation.
Lian Zhuo remained silent for a moment, then suddenly withdrew her left hand and took the Soul-Gathering Bottle from Hua Li's palm with her right. The moment their wrists met, the Heart-to-Heart Bracelet made a clear, crisp sound as it clashed.
jingle--
The killing intent in Luo Chuan's eyes intensified.
Lian Zhuo raised her raven-feather-like eyelashes, but her gaze was colder than ice that never melts. "Thank you for taking care of Hua Li during this time, Demon King. Hua Li is right. As the King of all demons, you must have many things to attend to. We won't see you off."
Hua Li was secretly surprised, and quickly turned around to wink at Ao Bai, "It's amazing that Lian Zhuo said so much at once."
"Is that the key point?! Can't you feel it at all?!" Ao Bai roared in impotence.
Huali blinked her clear, big eyes. "I was worried that Lianzhuo and Luochuan wouldn't get along, but now I see I was just overthinking it. They're having a great chat."
Ao Bai: "...Why don't you take another look?"
Before Lian Zhuo could finish speaking, Luo Chuan's fake smile froze completely. He looked like a beast whose territory had been invaded, his heterochromatic eyes blazing with murderous intent, and even his throat reeking of blood.
If he weren't afraid of scaring the little girl away, he would have skinned this man alive and torn him to pieces!
Lian Zhuo's eyes held no less killing intent than Luo Chuan's. For the first time, the usually aloof Buddhist monk had someone he cherished, and from the moment he decided to search for Hua Li, he was prepared to be shattered to pieces.
If you look closely at the rosewood, you will find that the lotus pattern between Lian Zhuo's eyebrows shimmers and faintly shows the dark undulations of twin lotus blossoms that only appear when the blood poison takes effect.
"Us?" Luo Chuan chuckled and then leaned against Hua Li. When the girl looked at him in confusion, he blinked and said aggrievedly, "Little Hua Li, you can't abandon your husband and children."
Before Huali could react, Lianzhuo suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Hua Li was startled and pushed Luo Chuan aside to go around to the other side. "Lian Zhuo, are you alright?"
Lian Zhuo wiped the blood from the corner of her lips and shook her head. "It's nothing, don't worry."
Luo Chuan's face suddenly darkened.

At the next table, Xiao Ta, who was being held down by Tang Wanwan, was struggling frantically. "Tang Wanwan, let me go! I'm not going back to the Spirit Sword Sect! I've already pledged allegiance to Hua Li! You can have my body, but you can't have my heart!"
Tang Wanwan, who was completely absorbed in shipping the couple, sneered, "I've got you, what do I need your heart for!"
Little Tower had no choice but to turn to Zhao Zhao for help, "Zhao Zhao, please come and help me!"
The style of the scene changed drastically. Zhao Heng, who was just a few steps away from Qing Linzhui, had already left and was now starting her own mukbang (eating broadcast) mode.
Two large stacks of empty plates were piled on the table. Zhao Heng looked up from the mountain of plates, her lips still stained with crumbs of pastry, and blinked her green eyes. "Little Tower, do you want some? I've never had such delicious pastries in Luoyun Mountain, except for that cornbread."
Upon hearing this, Tang Wanwan immediately snapped her fingers to summon the waiter, pointed to the plate of pastries that Zhao Heng had finished eating, and said, "This, this, and this, give me another plate... no, give me three plates of each."
Zhao Heng's green eyes widened slightly as she heard Tang Wanwan say, "Eat up, eat up. As long as you don't help that demon king, I'll pack another portion for you when you leave."
"And you!" Tang Wanwan spun her fist on Xiao Ta's head, speaking in a sinister tone, "Do you even know what pure love is? You're here to ruin everything!"
Little Tower doesn't care about pure love or anything like that; it only laments that it's just as miserable as Little Tower in "Little Junior Sister"!
Huali looked at Lianzhuo with worry; this blood curse was truly a menace. Although her blood could slow it down, it still needed to be completely eradicated before she could feel at ease.
She wanted to ask, but Luo Chuan couldn't bring himself to do so.
And whether it was her imagination or not, she seemed to sense hostility from these two people.
Upon hearing Huali's inner thoughts, Ao Bai thought: "..." You finally figured it out!
Just then, a waiter ran over with a plate from not far away. "Sir, your premium smoked duck, crab meat lion's head meatballs, blanched bok choy, and stir-fried crisp bamboo shoots are all served now. It will cost five mid-grade spirit stones in total."
Lian Zhuo and Luo Chuan reached for their Qiankun bags at the same time, but Hua Li quickly interrupted them, "Wait a minute."
Huali silently did the math and realized there was no discount. She asked suspiciously, "Don't you have promotional activities at the entrance of your store?"
The waiter nodded. "Yes, our shop offers a couples' discount; the third person gets a free meal." He glanced at the handsome man and beautiful woman in front of him, his sharp eyes catching sight of the love bracelets on Huali and Lianzhuo's wrists. He immediately smiled and asked, "So, the fairy and this mage are Daoist couples?"
Click—
The cup in Luo Chuan's hand instantly turned to dust. Under the waiter's trembling gaze, he curled his lips into a smile, "What did you say?"
A strong will to survive made the waiter change his mind in an instant, "I was blind, little fairy and this young master are a perfect match, a match made in heaven..."
Before he could finish speaking, he watched as a crack appeared in the solid wood table under the Buddha's hand.
Waiter: "......" I didn't check the almanac before going out today. He's just an employee, why make things difficult for him?!
After being repeatedly turned away, the waiter looked at Huali with a pleading but resentful gaze. This pretty girl, how could she be so fickle!
Karin, who was inexplicably condemned: "?"
Luo Chuan naturally picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of lion's head meatball, and put it into the rosewood bowl. "Little rosewood, eat it while it's hot."
Huali's eyes lit up, and just as she was about to start eating, another hand reached out.
"It's not good to eat too much meat. Huali, try this." Lianzhuo put the blanched bok choy into the girl's bowl.
Luo Chuan smiled.
The lotus leaves remained silent.
Xiao Er's pupils dilated in shock, "!!"
Even if Karin were oblivious to everything, she would have noticed something was wrong when she was being stared at by three pairs of eyes at the same time.
But she had more important things to do now. Huali blinked and looked at the waiter: "Do they have to be a couple?"
The waiter was drenched in sweat, wanting nothing more than to end this ordeal that he shouldn't have to endure. He nodded frantically, like a chicken pecking at rice, "Ah, yes, yes, yes."
So, which one of these two is the one you truly love?
Karin put down her chopsticks and nodded. "Hmm... okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lian Zhuo paused in his chopsticks, and a dark glint flashed in Luo Chuan's heterochromatic eyes.
The two of them looked at Huali at the same time.
