Before opening the door, Shen Lanzhou said to the maid who was munching on snacks, "My name is now Ai'er, and you can only call me that in front of outsiders from now on."
Luo Long didn't have time to reply and just made an OK gesture with his fingers.
The person at the back of the door was an old man dressed neatly and solemnly, with a square face, white hair and beard. He had broad shoulders and was very tall.
Although he looks old, he is full of energy and has a majestic aura.
Behind the old man stood a group of humanoid creatures in black suits, who seemed to be bodyguards. Their expressions were solemn and alert. Some stared at Shen Lanzhou who opened the door, while others stared in other directions.
"Human?"
The familiar breath made Shen Lanzhou raise his eyebrows.
In this devilish city full of demons and monsters, a pure human being is more precious than a giant panda.
"That's right." The old man nodded.
"Hello, what can I do for you?" Shen Lanzhou asked with a business-like smile that only he gave to strangers.
There was no intention of welcoming the stranger into the room.
"Disrespectful!" The bodyguard leading the charge behind the old man frowned and shouted.
Shen Lanzhou glanced, and it seemed as if countless eyes opened in the darkness, looking down at him coldly.
The bodyguard's throat choked and he took a few steps back. It felt like ages had passed before he regained consciousness, his face pale and covered in sweat.
The others were not blind, so they naturally noticed their companion's abnormality. They tensed their muscles and stared vigilantly at the seemingly harmless girl who was holding the door with one hand, and their hands slowly reached for the weapons at their waists.
The old man who also saw this scene had his eyes fixed. He raised his hand to stop the bodyguard's action and showed a warm smile to Shen Lanzhou: "I will accept your words. My daughter has received the young lady's kindness and has come to express her gratitude."
Why do these people speak so elegantly, just like the ancients?
Shen Lanzhou pretended to be suddenly enlightened: "Oh~ It turned out to be Ms. Yan's father. Sorry, I thought he was a bad guy."
This was a lie. Yan Chengdao and the honey trap lady looked very similar, and Shen Lanzhou could tell their blood connection at a glance.
However, this group of uninvited strangers probably came with tentative intentions, and their behavior and language were not very polite. Shen Lanzhou did not intend to indulge them.
Rather, for the sake of the honey trap lady, she had been very restrained and did not embarrass the guests.
"You came uninvited and failed to discipline your subordinates. It's probably my fault."
Yan Chengdao didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed about being left out. He raised his hand and asked his men to bring over a few boxes. "This is a thank you gift and an apology. Please forgive our impoliteness, Miss Ai'er."
Being arrogant at first and respectful later is ridiculous.
The corners of Shen Lanzhou's mouth twitched, and he forced out a smile without any emotion, and made way: "Please come in."
After all, he is the father of the lady who committed the honey trap, so he can't make things too awkward and make things difficult for the elder sister.
Yan Chengdao was also very courageous. He stopped his men from providing personal protection and went alone, leaving his bodyguards standing outside the door.
Turning around, Miss Luo Long, who was like a hamster concentrating on showing off desserts in the last second, was now sitting elegantly on the sofa, with all the food crumbs on her body and around her clean, as if she had never appeared.
So fast.
Is this the legendary perfect and elegant maid?
Yan Chengdao seemed to know Miss Luo Long. When he saw her, his expression became serious: "Miss Luo Long, long time no see."
The maid nodded gracefully and reservedly: "Long time no see, Mr. Luo is still in very good health."
There was no trace of the frivolity he showed when he was with Shen Lanzhou in private.
"No, no, I'm already half buried in the ground..."
Shen Lanzhou yawned and watched the two of them exchanging pleasantries like playing table tennis.
Remembering that he was the host, he asked, "Boiled water or fresh animal blood?"
"Boiled water will do, thank you."*2
The fresh animal blood was naturally the blood of the wild beasts that Shen Lanzhou had hunted near Shanhai City. The animal blood, rich in life energy, was also a very good drink.
Too bad no one appreciates it.
Ms. Yan Jiaowei, on the other hand, likes it very much.
After pouring a glass of boiled water for the two guests, Shen Lanzhou glanced at the seats and sat down next to Luo Long. The maid had no objection and moved aside.
Seeing this scene, Yan Chengdao frowned and said nothing more.
He smiled and said, “Xiao Wei is my only daughter, but unfortunately she has been willful since she was young and married far away.
After the apocalypse broke out, when I thought of Xiao Wei, I felt like the sky had fallen. I didn't even know how to explain to my wife who had passed away many years ago.
Thanks to Lord Nephalem's mercy, I was able to find my daughter and granddaughter who were away from home."
"It is indeed a great blessing to be able to reunite with my family in this apocalypse." Shen Lanzhou nodded.
So why are you talking so much nonsense to me?
"Ms. El, are you... still human?" Yan Chengdao asked tentatively.
"Look at what you're saying." Shen Lanzhou said with a smile: "If I'm not human, what else can I be? I can't be a zombie, right? Don't worry, I've never eaten anyone."
"Since that's the case, I'm relieved."
Yan Chengdao sighed heavily and asked, "Miss Ai'er, you're new here. I wonder if you've learned about the situation in the Magic City?"
Come on, finally we get to the point.
"Under Ms. Nephalem, the four corners of the pyramid are occupied by politicians, capital, gangs, and regulators. They check and balance each other, cooperate with each other, and jointly maintain the order of the Magic City." Shen Lanzhou said slowly:
"I don't know much more, please enlighten me, Master Yan."
