Chapter 61 Chapter 61 Zhou Li is drunk
Zhou Li's eyes fell on her lips, which were indeed a little red and swollen.
He had restrained himself all night last night and had only wanted to hand over the sword and go back, but when he saw her exhaustedly slumped over the table, he softened his heart.
He knew that Lu Rong's mind was simple and straightforward, without any roundabout ways. Even when completing tasks that came from nowhere, he was so direct that people couldn't cope with it.
After all, he had never been able to do anything to her since she was a child.
Even though she couldn't even tell whether she liked him or hated him, Zhou Li couldn't control himself last night and kissed her again and again.
Their lips were soft and warm when rubbed against each other, and he kissed her for a long time without being satisfied.
She was kissed so hard that her whole body softened like water and she wrapped herself around him. Finally, she pursed her lips, still feeling unsatisfied.
Zhou Li was kissed so hard that it was difficult for him to extricate himself, but the little bit of rationality he had left made him end this late-night affair in time.
He thought Lu Rong wouldn't notice, but unexpectedly, not only did she know, she was also hugging his pillow and quietly condemning his behavior last night.
Zhou Li was speechless for a moment, and Lu Rong asked him again: "Where have you been?"
Lu Rong's eyes were a little moist as she looked at him eagerly, which made people feel soft-hearted.
Zhou Li didn't hide it from her: "Boundless City."
"Boundless City, isn't that the Demon Realm's territory?" Lu Rong looked at him in confusion, then sat up, her expression serious. "What are you doing back in the Demon Realm?"
"Come over here to check something." Zhou Li didn't explain it clearly, and Lu Rong frowned slightly. "Did my father ask you to go?"
"No." After Zhou Li denied it, Lu Rong wisely didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she asked him, "How many days will you be gone?"
After asking, she felt like she was checking in on him, and hurriedly explained, "Yes, Qiu Ling wanted to thank you in person for helping her repair her sword! That's why I asked you."
"I'm not so sure if she asks." Zhou Li said in a low voice.
"And she's not the only one who wants to know." Lu Rong muttered, then snorted, "It's up to you to say it or not."
"Okay." Zhou Li nodded.
Seeing that he really didn't want to say anything, Lu Rong glared at him angrily: "Are you annoying? I want to know, tell me quickly."
"If you don't tell me, I'll break up with you." She even threatened.
Zhou Li looked at her awkward expression, a deep smile in his eyes: "Tomorrow morning at 9:00."
"Why tomorrow?" Lu Rong was subconsciously dissatisfied with this schedule. If they were away for a whole day, wouldn't the two of them not be able to see each other for a whole day?
"So when do you want me to go back?"
Lu Rong didn't want to say something so embarrassing, so she just pursed her lips and said, "Everyone misses you. If you don't have anything serious, come back early."
"Everyone?" Zhou Li was puzzled.
"My father! Those admirers of yours in Xuanyang Sect!" Lu Rong said and then broke the jade token with a snap.
Zhou Li is so annoying. He can't see anything. He said everyone missed him, but he still asked who it was.
She lay on the pillow, feeling the scent of Zhou Li fading. She threw the pillow aside and lay there like a salted fish, feeling empty inside.
I feel uncomfortable if I don’t see Zhou Li for a day. When did he develop this bad habit?
Lu Rong sat up and thought about what he had just said. He felt a little scared. He took his jade token and found that it was lit.
She clicked on it and saw the message Zhou Li sent her.
【Zhou: Everyone misses you, too.】
Lu Rong couldn't help laughing when she saw these words: "How can I be so well-known when I go there alone?"
So annoying.
[Lu Xiaorong: Oh, the group you and Binglie form is quite large.]
【Zhou: There is no ice crack.】
So yes... he missed her very much.
Lu Rong's mouth was almost grinning, and his eyes were filled with joy.
【Lu Xiaorong: Got it, Mr. Zhou.】
[Zhou: Lu Rong, you are a torturer. You can't bear to say nice words.]
Zhou Li also felt helpless after sending the message. Her few casual words made him subconsciously reveal his thoughts, but she was still pretending to be deaf and dumb.
It's really torturous.
Just as Zhou Li was about to end the conversation, he saw a voice message from Lu Rong.
"I'll miss you too, Mr. Zhou."
The girl's clear and pleasant voice rang in Zhou Li's ears once, and then stopped abruptly because Lu Rong retreated.
Zhou Li suddenly felt that what he had just heard was an auditory hallucination.
Zhou Li felt that he couldn't stay in this place for a moment longer. He wanted to grab the person in his arms and let her tell him that she missed him countless times.
"What's wrong with the emperor?" Lu let go of Zhou Li and stood on the terrace outside for a long time. His face, which was full of smiles at the beginning, turned into a cold expression.
Zhou Li put the jade token away and said, "Go check on that person directly."
Lu Fang was even more puzzled: "Did something happen? Why are you so anxious all of a sudden?"
"Well, there's something urgent that I need to do when I get back." Zhou Li left without saying much.
Lu Fang was even more confused, thinking, when I left Xuanyang Sect, didn’t the emperor say that I could stay outside for a few more days?
Why are you in such a hurry to go back now?
Lu Fang thought for a while, and Zhou Li had disappeared, so he hurried to catch up.
Zhou Li initially wanted to stay outside for a few days. During this time, he and Lu Rong stayed together every day. Lu Rong seemed unaware of his existence. Perhaps if he left for a few days, she would be able to feel the difference in his absence and thus realize her feelings.
But he didn't expect that before a day had passed, he began to regret his decision.
At this moment, he just wanted to go back as quickly as possible, the sooner the better.
"Royal Lord, has something serious happened to the Xuanyang Sect?"
As the worm in Zhou Li's stomach, Bing Lie naturally knew what his master was anxious to go back for. Seeing Lu Fang's stubborn look, he knocked him on the head with the hilt of his sword and said, "Of course, the master wants to go back to find Rongrong."
Then Bingzhe was taken away, and Lu Fang finally reacted. He thought, it turns out that the emperor can be impatient when he likes someone.
"Which part of the demon world is ahead?" Zhou Li looked at the magnificent building shrouded in dark mist not far away. Only above the dome of the main hall at the highest point, there was a twisted vortex of void suspended, like a crack that tore through space, with an ominous blood-red halo on the edge. Following down along eighteen black iron chains as thick as giant pythons, dark red runes on the chains floated in the darkness, slowly moving like a living thing.
At the other end of the eighteen chains are different palaces, which look more like an invisible giant hand or some kind of seal, controlling everything below.
"That is the Eternal Silence Abyss, which you built before. The eighteen iron chains represent the eighteen great demon tribes that are loyal to you." Lu Fang explained.
Zhou Li had already flown in. Sunlight now streamed through the edge of the thick clouds, allowing him to take in the entirety of the Eternal Silence. The palace looked like a strange structure rising from the cracks of the abyss. It clung to the broken cliffs of a thousand-foot cliff, its pitch-black stone foundation embedded deep into the rock formations like the claws of a giant beast. Dark red blood-scab-like lines covered its surface, as if the entire structure had grown from the bones of some ancient creature.
There's a dangerous aura of a giant creature poised to awaken at any moment and devour everything.
Eternal Silence...
Zhou Li saw two huge black iron doors over a hundred feet high standing on the edge of the cliff, with three neat words engraved on the surface - Eternal Silence Abyss.
However, under the word "Yuan" was hanging a bloody corpse of a demon, and bright red blood was dripping from a high place and falling into the blood-red waterfall falling from the cliff.
"Ever since you disappeared, the eighteen great demons have been fighting among themselves, so the Eternal Silence Abyss has become a completely different place." This is also the reason why Lu Fang left the demon world.
"Isn't there a Cheng Liu?" Zhou Li landed on the dome of the main hall. A strong wind blew up his white clothes.
Lu Fang turned to look at him, still a little dazed. He could no longer sense any hostility from the emperor. He was so peaceful that he seemed to have become an immortal. Everything in front of him seemed more like a mortal world that had nothing to do with him.
"Hmm?" Zhou Li turned to look at him, his deep eyes as cold as a blade. Lu Fang quickly came back to his senses, "No one obeys him. No one here can obey another, because they were all tamed by you one by one."
"I've been gone for so long, and no one has come forward. It seems my domestication is useless." Zhou Li sneered, a bunch of trash.
Zhou Li was not very interested in these trash. He came to look for the monster from last night.
Zhou Li directly drew out the remaining breath that he had found from Zhuiyu Pavilion last night. The evil spirit was floating in the air. Zhou Li moved his fingertips slightly, and the evil spirit flew down along the iron chain into one of the palaces.
The two followed the evil spirit downwards and landed in a grove of tall trees. They could hear the chirping of young birds if they stepped in stealthily.
"It seems that the one who broke into Xuanyang Sect last night was a monster from the bird clan." Lu Fang said.
"The Black Bird Tribe." Zhou Li had already seen the person who had trespassed into the Xuanyang Sect last night. A young man with curly hair was carefully feeding another little bird.
He remembered that the Black Bird Tribe had become extinct, and he didn't expect that there were any survivors in this place.
"My Lord, his name is Liangwu, but he is not a pure descendant of the Wuniao clan. He is the descendant of a demon. His mother is the last Wuniao. In fact, he has a younger sister, the little bird that cannot transform."
Zhou Li looked at the little bird and understood vaguely.
"Leave."
"Aren't you going to arrest him?" Lu Fang thought that the emperor was here to arrest someone, but he didn't expect that it was not the case.
Zhou Li's lips curled up in a cold arc: "If he is taken away, how can others perform their plays?"
Zhou Li left Yongji Abyss without staying any longer. He left no trace like the wind, but some people still noticed him.
Inside the dark palace, a man in black was wearing a half-mask on his face. Beneath the mask were blood-red lips. His palm was originally caressing the cheek of the beauty resting on his legs, but his fingertips suddenly scratched the beauty's face.
The beauty immediately screamed in pain, and then a large hand grabbed her neck, strangled her and threw her to the ground: "The noise is making my ears hurt."
Cheng Liu shouted coldly, "Who has trespassed into the Eternal Silence Abyss?"
Someone outside the door immediately replied tremblingly: "Replying to the demon, demon master, no one has entered the Eternal Silence Abyss."
Cheng Liu stood up and walked out the door, strangling the person who answered again: "Waste."
He flew away directly and hung above the main hall, looking down. The emotions in his eyes gradually became frantic, his hands clenched tightly, and bright red blood dripped down.
He knew it must be him who came back!
Only when he comes back will the entire Eternal Silence Abyss suddenly become quiet.
"Is he Cheng Liu?" Zhou Li did not leave, but stood on the cliff and looked down at Cheng Liu.
"Yes, he has changed a lot. He wasn't like this before. He used to be very respectful to you, even I felt ashamed of myself."
Zhou Li just sneered. People can pretend, let alone monsters whose nature is even more evil.
Zhou Li turned around and left: "Lu Fang, not everyone can tolerate being inferior to others."
Everyone has ambition, but having ambition without ability is wishful thinking.
"My Lord, don't you plan to teach Cheng Liu a lesson? I went to Nan'an City to investigate. He was the one who caused the incident with the goddess, as well as the incident in Luo City."
Zhou Li looked at Cheng Liu, thinking of what happened in Nan'an City, and directly summoned Bing Lie: "Go."
Bing Lie flew away excitedly. Cheng Liu could feel someone staring at him, but when he looked around, he saw no one.
Then he felt a gust of cold air coming towards him. Before he turned around, the ice cracks flew past his ears and a strand of long hair flew away in the strong wind.
A bloody mark was immediately cut on his right cheek. Before Cheng Liu could react, the sword light brushed past his left cheek. His body staggered due to the impact, and before he could even stand firmly, the ice crack had already pierced directly into his forehead.
Cheng Liu quickly flew backwards, a black aura rising from his body in an attempt to resist the ice cracks, but the ice cracks directly pierced through his protective shield and stabbed in with full murderous intent.
Cheng Liu's pupils shrank, and the tip of the Ice-Cracking Sword pressed against his brow, moving down along the bridge of his nose and directly cutting through the mask on his face.
Bright red blood spread from his face, completely dyeing half of his face covered with scars red, making him look even more hideous and terrifying.
Cheng Liu stared at Bing Lie and shouted, "Since the Emperor has returned, why doesn't he show himself?"
He was in a mess at the moment, but there was no more madness and violence in his eyes, instead there was another kind of excited frenzy.
It's like the look you get when you're about to see your favorite thing.
Bing Lie flew away directly. Cheng Liu hurriedly looked in the direction where the sword left, but only saw a void of light and shadow.
"You don't want to see me, do you?" Cheng Liu shouted hoarsely again.
But no one responded. There was only silence and the raging waves crashing down from the height of the waterfall. Countless splashes of water flew up and landed on him, making him even more embarrassed.
Lu Fang followed Zhou Li out of Yongjiyuan: "Royal Lord, I feel like Cheng Liu seems to have fallen into some kind of inner demon over the years, or has been bewitched by someone. In the past few years, he has been trying to find your remaining soul and resurrect you, but then he changed."
"I'm not interested in what he does." Zhou Li has seen the malice of many people, and betrayal is the most insignificant.
And what Lu Fang said was actually correct. When Cheng Liu was resisting the ice cracks just now, there was another power in his body.
So the aftermath of these things probably won’t be that simple.
It is related to the Yin Yang Spring and the goddess. The other party probably wants to get something from him.
No matter how stubborn Lu Fang was, he knew what to say and what not to say, and he was very tactful and did not bring it up again.
Instead, he said, "Royal Lord, how about you bring Miss Lu some fine wine from Wujie City?"
"Wine?" Zhou Li himself doesn't drink, but Lu Rong seems to be able to drink a little.
"Yes, Wujie City has the best winemaking masters." Lu Fang seemed very proud of this.
Zhou Li nodded, and Lu Fang immediately led people to buy wine.
We arrived at the tavern by the river. It wasn't very big, but it was very clean and there was a strong aroma of wine.
Zhou Li saw at a glance a large field of Lover's Words in full bloom. The pink and white flowers were like clouds, shining brightly in the sun.
When he saw those flowers, he immediately thought of Lu Rong wearing a pink and white dress, a soft ball falling into his arms, like a cloud with fragrance.
"A Qian! I'm here to buy some wine!" Lu Fang walked in and shouted loudly.
"Brother Lu, you're back." A woman's voice with a smile came from upstairs, followed by the sound of someone running downstairs.
Zhou Li looked at the girl downstairs. The girl rushed towards Lu Fang and hugged him happily: "Brother Lu, you have been out for a long time."
"Hey, there's someone else here." Lu Fang felt a little shy. He turned around and found that the emperor hadn't seen him at all, but was still outside looking at the flowers.
Lu Fang walked out and wanted to bring Zhou Li in, but Zhou Li walked in by himself and looked at the five rows of wine on the counter.
"Ah Qian, this is..." Lu Fang wanted to explain Zhou Li's identity, but Zhou Li spoke first, "I am Lu Fang's good friend Zhou Li.
Lu Fang was a little surprised. He didn't expect the emperor to introduce him in this way, and there was emotion in his eyes.
Zhou Li was just thinking of what Lu Rong said, that once you know each other, you are friends.
"Mr. Zhou, do you want to buy some wine?" A Qian asked with a smile. Although she was not particularly good-looking, her gentle smile made her approachable.
"Well, I want to buy some as gifts." Zhou Li looked at the brand name wine.
"Is it for your loved one?" A Qian asked with a smile.
Lu Fang was a little surprised: "Ah Qian, you are so amazing, how did you know?"
"You're such an idiot." A Qian glanced at the sword Zhou Li was carrying on his back and saw several pink hairbands wrapped around the hilt.
Lu Fang now realized why the ice cracks felt a little different before. It turned out that it was because there was a hairband wrapped around the hilt.
"Well, for a girl. Nothing too spicy, preferably more fruity and sweet. She prefers peach flavor. It's also okay if the wine pours well."
Lu Rong likes fancy things. Even if they don’t taste good, she will look at them for a long time if they look good.
"Mr. Zhou, you know so much about that girl's preferences. Have you known her for a long time?" A Qian asked curiously.
"Not bad, more than ten years." Zhou Li said seriously, "Childhood sweethearts."
Lu Fang: “…” Why does it smell like showing off?
But when he saw Zhou Li's expression, he felt that he was overthinking it, and knew that Zhou Li added: "She knows me very well too."
Lu Fang: “?” The emperor was not like this before!
"Childhood sweethearts, just hearing that sounds so beautiful." Ah Qian's eyes were filled with envy as she selected three wines for him. "Try them first and see if they taste good."
Zhou Li didn't think much about it and drank three cups. It tasted really good.
"I'll take them all." Zhou Li put down the wine glass. It was Lu Rong's turn to drink the three pots.
Ah Qian agreed and went to get the wine. After a while, he brought three jugs of wine and a basket of blooming Lovers' Words.
"I planted these myself. I saw you looking at them for a long time, so I picked some. Take them back and give them to your sweetheart."
Zhou Li thanked him and handed over a gold bar. Lu Fang quickly refused: "No thanks."
"Ice cracks." Zhou Li shouted, and as the ice cracked, Lu Fang withdrew his hand.
Zhou Li put the money down and turned to leave without saying anything extra. Lu Fang did not follow him either. He knew that the emperor must have gone back to look for Miss Lu.
Zhou Li was indeed in a hurry to find Lu Rong because he felt a little dizzy. Judging from the three glasses of wine he had just drunk, he might not be able to drink much, but three glasses should not be enough.
Bing Lie also realized that his master was drunk, but Zhou Lifei was flying very steadily, very accurately, and even very fast, super fast.
Bing Lie, who was carrying a basket of flowers and three jugs of wine, was even worried that he would not be able to stop and crash into the tree.
Fortunately, there was no danger. When they arrived at the Xuanyang Sect, Zhou Li seemed to be a little more sober and slowed down. He only stopped between Zhuiyu Pavilion and Wuhui Tower for a few seconds, as if thinking about which way to go.
Finally, he probably realized where he was going and flew to Zhuiyu Pavilion.
Zhou Li landed at Lu Rong's door and knocked, but no one answered. Xue Er heard the voice and came out. Seeing that it was Jian Zun, she was startled and whispered, "Rong Rong went out very early. She must have gone to see Qiu Ling. She will probably be back very late."
"Yeah." The light in Zhou Li's eyes dimmed a little in an instant.
Lu Rong has a lot of friends, so why would he just stay away just because he is not around?
He didn't ask any more questions and went to Wuhuijian alone.
Because he felt that everything in front of him was shaking, and the feeling of being drunk was too overwhelming, he flew while using his strength to force the alcohol out of his body, and then he stepped into his own residence in Wuhui Tower.
The aura from Lu Rong was overwhelming, and he was even a little dazed, wondering if his perception was wrong.
He walked quickly into the room, walked around the screen that separated the bed, and saw a person curled up sleeping on the big bed. Her beautiful floral dress was spread out on her side, like broken petals spread out in the sunlight.
Zhou Li walked lightly to the window, and only then did he see what she was holding in her arms: it was his clothes.
Lu Rong's beautiful, snow-white face was buried in his clothes, as if she was absorbing his breath.
A huge joy surged up in her, and instead of going out to play with others, she held his clothes and waited for him to come back.
He stretched out his hand to pull the clothes out of her arms, but Lu Rong held her tightly and hummed unconsciously: "Mine, mine..."
She slept soundly, as if guarding her precious treasure, with her clothes pressed under her head, revealing her entire beautiful face.
Zhou Li's fingertips gently touched the side of her face. So good...
He lowered his head and kissed her lips with the scent of wine.
Lu Rong smelled a strong aroma of alcohol. She sniffed and felt the heat on her lips. Then her lips and teeth were pushed open by the wet and hot tip of the tongue, which penetrated into the root of her tongue and then hooked onto the tip of her tongue.
The familiar kiss and breath made Lu Rong move forward in a daze. Her eyes slowly opened, and she saw Zhou Li's face close to her.
Her eyes were still confused for a moment: "Hmm?"
"Rongrong, I'm back." Zhou Li kissed her eyebrows.
Lu Rong immediately woke up and reached out to cover his mouth: "No, aren't you coming back tomorrow?"
She subconsciously looked at the clothes she had just held in her arms.
No, why did he come back early!
Didn't that mean he saw her secretly holding his clothes while sleeping?
Zhou Li grabbed her hand and kissed her fingertips, with a dazed look in his eyes: "I miss you, I want to come back and kiss you."
Only then did Lu Rong realize something was wrong. She smelled alcohol on him.
"Are you drunk?" Lu Rong looked at him in disbelief, leaned close to his lips and smelled them, the smell of alcohol was very fragrant.
Zhou Li shook his head: "No, I just want to come back and hug you quickly."
He lowered his head and touched his belt with his slender fingers. His expression was extremely serious, as if he was saying a cultivation technique, but his voice was low and sexy: "You like my clothes, right? I'll give them all to you."
Lu Rong watched him take off his clothes slowly, until his outer garment fell to the ground, the collar of his inner garment opened wide, revealing his broad chest muscles, and the mermaid line below...
Her eyes widened a little: "Do you really want to take off your clothes for me to see?"
