Chapter 43

After Long Ming and Qiao Zhi started talking, Long You, who felt that he had accomplished something important, curiously walked up to Xiahou Jinxuan, Ling Bo, and Jiang Cheng, and raised his little face, "Who are you?"

Xiahou Jinxuan smiled and said, "You are Brother Long's younger brother, right? My name is Xiahou Jinxuan, this is Taoist Lingbo, and this is Brother Jiang Cheng. We are all friends of your elder brother."

"You are lying," Long You said suspiciously, "My elder brother has never had any friends. He is the king of Yaksha Country, and everyone is his subject."

Xiahou Jinxuan said patiently, "But we are not from Yaksha Country, so of course we can be Brother Long's friends."

"You are not from Yaksha Country..." Long You was skeptical, "Then where are you from? You don't look like Luosha or Shura."

Ling Bo said softly, "We come from the human world. Little friend, do you know the human world?"

"Don't call me kid, I'm the second prince of Yaksha Country, my name is Long You." Long You retorted at first, then thought about it. "The human world... The Great Elder told me that the world is divided into six realms, and the human world is one of them. It is a place different from the demon world."

Long You looked at the elegant and handsome Xiahou Jinxuan and the gentle and beautiful Ling Bo, his head shaking. "But I think you look similar to me, except that you don't have the devilish aura."

He glanced at Jiang Cheng again and frowned, "You... are a little weird. Aren't you with them?"

Jiang Cheng didn't know what to say for a moment, so Xiahou Jinxuan interrupted him and said, "Little... Second Prince, Brother Jiang has half-demon blood in his body. Is this what you mean by strange?"

"Is that so?" Long You nodded, then looked confused again, "What is a half-demon?"

"Puchi~" Fang Shao, who had been waiting nearby, couldn't help but burst out laughing. Seeing that the young man was a little angry out of embarrassment, he immediately put the steaming plate in his hand in front of him.

"My dear, the food you ordered is ready. Do you want to eat now?"

The dishes that chef Dave had just prepared were emitting an alluring aroma, and what attracted Long You's attention even more were the brightly colored tomatoes and asparagus. As the second prince of Yaksha Country, he had never seen anything like this before. The young man's throat moved, and saliva began to flow involuntarily.

"Yes, yes, yes!" the boy couldn't help but say it three times, but soon his face turned stern again.

Fang Shao smiled and placed the food on the table. After Long You took two bites, although his expression remained calm, the frequency of his chopstick movements increased significantly.

"What would these three guests like to order?" Fang Shao handed over the menu and pointed at George who was chatting with Long Ming. "Mr. George is treating us today."

Xiahou Jinxuan waved his hands quickly, "No, no." He explained, "No merit, no reward, no need... Mr. Qiao treats." He took out the silver and secretly thanked himself for having just done a deal with the Loulan merchant, otherwise it would be difficult to order food now. Brother Jiang has always been honest, he can't let Taoist Lingbo pay.

Fang Shao had no choice but to accept the huge sum of money from Young Master Xiahou.

Fang Shao was also a loyal player of the Chinese Paladin series. Long You looked much younger than in the fifth season of Chinese Paladin, so Fang Shao did not recognize him at the time. However, due to his young age, Long You was not on guard and was quickly identified by George.

Fang Shao therefore also knew the world he came from. In this case, the identities of Long Ming and his group were transparent.

Speaking of which, The Legend of Sword and Fairy V Prequel was the last game in the series that Fang Shao had played. Although it had been a long time, he could not remember the story of the young master and the street artist girl very clearly. But at the end, the young man in red jumped off the cliff and tried desperately to hold the hand of his beloved woman. That scene still left a deep impression on Fang Shao.

The second is Jiang Cheng, who is currently taciturn but will become the boss of Fairy Sword 5 in the future. He is kind-hearted, capable, and has a mentor, close friend, and lover by his side. He should have a bright future, but he and the half-demons became victims of the conspiracy, which is a pity.

As for the source of the conspiracy, it was that they chose to trust Long Ming even though they knew his identity. Although the conspiracy was not planned and executed by Long Ming himself, as the Yaksha King, he had to take full responsibility for the conspiracy.

Long Ming is certainly worthy of the Yaksha Nation and the responsibility he shoulders, but he is too ruthless to his friends Xiahou Jinxuan and Jiang Cheng...

If Long Ming still has a kingly frankness in his actions and has a soft heart towards Ling Bo, he is a complex character with his own charm. Then Mo Yi is a pure politician and conspirator. He will do anything to achieve his goals, even his closest relatives and monarchs like Long Ming and Long You can be used as pawns to achieve his goals.

But things should be different now.

It's really interesting. George from the Mist World provides a planet from the Star Travel World, but has the hope of helping the Demon World of the Fairy Sword World survive the drought.

If George hadn't mentioned Professor Miller, and if Mr. Zhu hadn't mentioned the strange deviation in the interstellar plot a few days ago, he really wouldn't have connected the two points together.

The ingenious coincidences and fate between the guests of Yuan Bar are really getting stronger and stronger.

Long Ming was busy discussing business, and Xiahou Jinxuan and the others were concerned about their partners outside, so they didn't order any proper meals, but just asked for a few glasses of drinks that looked novel.

When Fang Shao came over again with something in his hand, Xiahou Jinxuan couldn't resist his curiosity and started a conversation with this seemingly kind young boss.

What is science?

What is a planet?

How are the people of The Wandering Earth doing now?

What does the plane universe mean?

What kind of existence is Yuanba?

Fang Shao was also a little confused after hearing this series of questions. He knew the facts of many things but not the reasons. But Xiahou Jinxuan was a person he liked, and there happened to be no other guests for him to worry about, so he simply sat down and talked about what he knew and could say.

But he himself was also half-hearted. After he finished speaking, Xiahou Jinxuan, who had read countless miscellaneous books, was fine, but Ling Bo and Jiang Cheng felt even more confused. Instead, it was Xiahou Jinxuan who repeated what he had just heard in his own language that made them feel suddenly enlightened.

He is indeed the most intelligent protagonist in all the fairy sword games. If he had not over-trusted the people close to him and inadvertently ignored the doubts about Long Ming and Mo Yi, the latter's conspiracy would not have been so easy to succeed. Even so, he used his own life to prevent the tragedy from happening, delaying the catastrophe in the human world until twenty years later.

I heard that there was information about him and Xia in Xianliu, but he has never played it, and he doesn't know whether the few words on the Internet can be trusted.

After a while, Long Ming and George finally reached a preliminary agreement. In order to reassure this big customer from the fantasy world about their scientific achievements, George warmly invited Long Ming to the Misty World to see the Arrow Project and the planet covered by water with his own eyes.

Long Ming naturally agreed, and Xiahou Jinxuan was also eager to try, but thinking of Xia and Huangfu Zhuo outside, he suppressed his curiosity. So the group finally split into two groups, Long Ming went to the misty world alone, Xiahou Jinxuan and others returned to Loulan Ancient City and told the three people outside what had just happened.

Only then did Long Ming show them an apologetic look. "It was my fault for hiding my identity. When the drought in Yaksha Country is alleviated, I will come to apologize."

"It's okay, it's okay. Brother Long has the heavy responsibility of serving the country and family. You don't have to care about such trivial matters. But..." Xiahou Jinxuan looked at Ling Bo.

Ling Bo nodded silently. "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Jiang Cheng was silent for a while, then he bowed and said, "Brother Long, Jiang Cheng also has many things to ask."

Long Ming returned the gift solemnly. "I will keep this promise."

As for Long You, Long Ming pulled the reckless boy aside and told him to go home immediately. But before leaving, Long Ming asked Fang Shao for a pen and paper and wrote a short letter to ask him to take Mo Yi with him.

Long You thought that his elder brother was going to complain to the great elder, but he didn't dare to disobey him, so he walked out with his head down. His back looked somewhat pitiful and funny.

Long Ming followed George to the Mist World. This was the first time George brought people out, and it was also the first time that the Mist World welcomed guests from other worlds, except for those monsters.

Fortunately, with the precedent of cooperation with The Wandering Earth, the Misty Military had made many contingency plans for similar situations. When George briefly introduced Long Ming's identity and purpose, the military leaders immediately gave the green light and invited Long Ming to the base of the No. 2 Arrow Project by helicopter.

The scientists who received the news were furious. If they hadn't retained some rationality, they would have almost kidnapped Long Ming and carried him out for research.

The Arrow Project's gate opened, and Long Ming, who had remained calm about what he had seen and heard along the way, finally couldn't help but shudder as he saw the open space in the distance turn into the boundless ocean behind the gate.

"We have now discovered the general pattern of the tides," said the person in charge of Project 2, pointing to the numerous fist-sized detectors floating on the water. "Each tide lasts 3-5 minutes, with an interval of 0.5-2 hours, and the longest does not exceed 3 hours."

"When the waves come, we choose to close the gate. But once the gate is closed, the time inside and outside the gate will be different, and there will still be danger of encountering waves when it is opened again. So if you want to continue to use water, it is best to find a way to avoid the destructive blows of the waves and keep the gate open normally." The person in charge suggested sincerely, but he was also trying to find out the background of this king from the wonderful world. If the other party really has a way, they can cooperate deeply and develop this planet together.

After all, just because the surface of a planet is water doesn't mean there aren't resources they want underwater.

"Can I go and take a look?" Long Ming asked politely.

The person in charge looked at the data on the screen. "According to the records sent over, the last tide occurred 13 minutes ago, and there is at least 17 minutes of safety period. Although I do not recommend that you take risks, Your Majesty, if you insist, we can send a helicopter to escort you over to take a closer look."

"That's not necessary." Long Ming said, his face expressionless, but his body had already risen and was floating steadily in the air.

The person in charge and the researchers around him: …

Long Ming's eyes flashed, and his figure flew through the air like lightning. In just a few seconds, he arrived at the gate a dozen kilometers away. He paused at the door for a moment, and then walked into the other side of the world without hesitation.

Long Ming flew upwards as high as he could. When he lowered his head, the gate directly below him had become a tiny, almost invisible dot, while the ocean was still vast.

The pleas and prayers of the Yaksha subjects, who had been lingering in Long Ming's eyes and heart, temporarily stopped.
