"A cup of lemon black tea, and a family bucket of milk tea."
Perhaps because he hadn't tasted human food for thousands of years, Gu Yan's palate had become much lighter.
Compared to rich milk tea, refreshing fruit tea is more to his liking.
"My name is Gu Yan."
Looking at the seemingly flustered but actually calm little human in front of him, Gu Yan smiled and said his name.
Interesting humans.
He gained something from this trip.
If everyone in the world were like that little girl, he wouldn't need to keep himself locked up in the cave.
"Go out and explore more, and you'll discover that the wonders of the world are far more interesting than the demonic path."
I vaguely remember that these were the words of that old monk from back then.
The main reason he surrendered was that he had lived too long and found the world meaningless. He was born of nature and was immortal, so he simply showed weakness and let the monk seal him under the mountain.
He thought he had disguised himself well, but the monk eventually saw through something and said those words.
This formation was never able to contain him.
The so-called annual briefings are more like a form of negotiation.
He simply didn't have the will to resist.
"Little girl, don't overthink it, just focus on making milk tea."
The clever little girl probably already knew his identity; look at her hand, trembling. In those people's eyes, there was a bit too much sour lemon.
They're quite bold.
He's not the type to appreciate sour flavors.
"Hey!"
When her petty actions were discovered and her small act of retaliation was forced to stop, Lu Wu smiled innocently, and her procedures became much more standardized.
Lemon black tea steeped in boiling water for a long time has a deep, clear amber color. It has a slightly astringent taste, and the strong aroma of black tea sweeps away the lingering milky fragrance in the air, establishing its status.
The slight acidity of lemons should not be underestimated, yet it won't overpower the other flavors.
The sourness is neutralized, and the aftertaste, upon careful tasting, is a lingering sweetness at the back of the tongue.
Clean and crisp.
The finished lemon black tea is like a work of art. The ice cubes collide in it, and the color is slightly diluted but still dazzling.
The moment Lu Wu learned Gu Yan's name, she felt that it was very much like the male lead's name.
Lu Wu had no intention of playing the female lead and respectfully handed the milk tea to the other person.
Water droplets clung to the glass, then dripped down the transparent glass into Gu Yan's palm, where they were gently brushed away by his fingers.
The fingers are slender with distinct knuckles.
Some diners at the scene were hand fetishists, and they couldn't help but squirm and scream when they saw Gu Yan's fingers.
This man looks exactly like their ideal type.
I want to pounce on her, I want to possess her.
The wolf-like gaze failed to attract Gu Yan's attention.
It's just a physical appearance.
Little did they know that even this physical form could be changed.
Whether one is as handsome as a god or as ugly as a ghost, it's all a matter of a single thought.
However, he does have an aesthetic sense.
Most women are tempted but dare not act, but there are always some brave souls who dare to follow their hearts.
"Young master, I like you. Please be with me."
The heartfelt confession came suddenly. Lu Wu, who was making milk tea, almost dropped the spoon in her hand when she heard it.
She was quick enough to catch him.
She looked over there with an indescribable expression, and unsurprisingly saw Gu Yan's face gradually turning cold.
Lu Wu was thinking about how she should escape if a fight really broke out.
Who could blame them when the one who confessed to Gu Yan was a man? To be precise, he was a cultivator who was biologically male but psychologically female.
His cheeks were smeared with powder, and his bright, watery eyes looked at Gu Yan with affection.
Ah, he fell in love at first sight.
Only a gentleman like him could be worthy of his uniqueness.
He, known in the martial arts world as the "Demon Prince," is about to take down his opponent in front of everyone today.
His happiness and sexual bliss have arrived!
"Young master, I will treat you well."
He moved closer, a hint of shyness on his face, and tentatively reached out to grab Gu Yan's sleeve.
Gu Yan... was thinking.
Could this be the "wonderful beauty of the world" that the old monk spoke of? The man before me does indeed have a graceful figure, with a slender waist like a willow and a face like a lotus.
It's not bad looking.
He is open to sexual intercourse between men and women, or between men and women, but he is not interested in sex in the true sense of the word.
Just as the other party's claws were about to reach out, Gu Yan waved his sleeve to block them.
He stepped back, glancing at the onlookers around him and raising an eyebrow slightly, a hint of malice lurking deep within his sinister gaze.
A few steps later, he came to Lu Wu's side and pressed down on her shoulder.
"Are you just going to stand by and watch him bully me like this?"
Gu Yan's eyebrows drooped, and the grievance in his eyes was evident.
"Girl, I only trust you."
The intimacy in their words seemed anything but simple.
In reality, this was just Gu Yan being petty.
Who told this girl to be so engrossed in the play, almost clapping along?
He was born a demon, and he never wronged himself.
His handsome appearance belied his vulnerable posture, making many female cultivators wish they could step forward and take good care of him.
"Boss Lu, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and hug him!"
Some female cultivators offered suggestions to Lu Wu with their eyes, but Lu Wu said she didn't understand.
Gu Yan's innate allure made Lu Wu's heart tremble.
Oh my god!
She was just a bystander watching the drama unfold, so how did she end up in this whole affair?
What should she do?
Should I pretend not to see what you're doing, or should I do my best to perform what you're doing?
