The Tsundere Demon's Beloved 8
Warmth flowed through his body. Lu Li clenched his hands and stuttered.
"Elder...Elder, this doesn't make sense."
"I came here originally to buy you some small things. It's a rare opportunity to go to the mountains, so it would be unreasonable to go back without buying anything."
Wen Renjue nodded seriously
"This fire spirit stone is for you to use to warm your body. I will pick out some for you to take back and give to the younger generation around you as a token of your appreciation."
"This... uh..." Lu Li touched the Fire Spirit Stone in his hand and was secretly shocked. A Fire Spirit Stone of this size must cost a lot of money. Why did he buy it without saying a word?
Oh no, I am short of money and I am afraid I can't afford to give anything else to the elder.
Lu Li blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed. Wen Renjue was picking and choosing at the stall in front of him and soon found a lot of things. Seeing Lu Li standing there in a daze, he knew what he was thinking.
"It's okay, just consider these as gifts from me, don't worry about it"
"How can this be possible?" Lu Li almost broke his voice.
"Then just keep it and return it to me later."
Wen Renjue did not force it, and nodded.
"I just saw a piece of chalcedony with excellent quality. It's full of spiritual energy, so I'm giving it to you for self-defense."
After that, Wen Renjue took out an exquisite gilded blue bracelet from his arms and handed it to Lu Li.
Lu Li took it and touched it subconsciously, wondering
"Strange, when did the city begin using such high-quality spirit stones? That fire spirit stone just now, or this bracelet, is clearly..."
[You still have some brains. The spirit stone and bracelet were taken out of Wen Renjue's arms just now.]
Li Guang suddenly jumped out and said coldly
? ?
Lu Li was stunned
[Wenren Jue's favorability +5, current favorability 45]
this……
"Elder, this gift is too valuable. I cannot accept it." Lu Li looked up and said silently.
"Your 300th birthday will be in a few days. Consider this as my early birthday present to you."
Wen Renliu pushed back his hand.
He then put the gift he had just collected from the stall into another storage ring and handed it to him, then calmly extended his hand.
"There's no point in saying more. Just keep it and give it to me on my birthday someday."
Seeing Ren Jue's resolute attitude, Lu Li had no choice but to bow and thank him before putting the money in his pocket. He always felt that he brought me here not just for shopping but to find a way to give away the gift he had already prepared.
...Is it my imagination? Why would a dignified Immortal Sect's Grand Elder, with nothing better to do, pay attention to me, a core disciple he's barely met?
[……] Li Guang sighed heavily again.
"Is there anything else you want to buy?"
Wen Renjue lowered his head to him and asked softly
The sound is like a clear spring, cold and elegant
Lu Li quickly shook his head. What a joke! Even if he wanted to buy something else, he wouldn't dare to waste the elder's precious time.
"No, without the elders, these things you gave me are enough."
Lu Li tightened the storage ring in his hand and said in panic
"Okay"
In a place where Lu Li couldn't see, Wen Renjue's eyes darkened for a moment and then he said lightly without a trace of emotion.
Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief, and Wen Renjue continued to lead him until he was not far from the foot of the sect's mountain.
"You can take the boat back here by yourself. There are many disciples of the sect ahead, so I can't show up and cause you more trouble. Just use the token to tell me when you get to the garden."
Wen Renjue let go of the slender palm in his hand, and secretly clenched one hand in his sleeve, kneading it repeatedly. His face remained calm as he looked down at the young man in blue in front of him and nodded in agreement.
The other hand reached out and gently touched Lu Li's smooth cheek. When the other party tilted his head in confusion, he said lightly:
"The blindfold is slightly tilted"
After the other party hurriedly sorted out, he continued
"Come on board."
Lu Li awkwardly smoothed the white cloth several times, and only after smoothing it out did he hear Wen Renjue say clearly, and he was suddenly a little surprised.
"Elder, aren't you going back to the sect?"
Seeing the other party responded, Lu Li opened his mouth to ask, then hesitated for a moment, or bowed solemnly and left without asking any more questions.
"Li Guang, could it be that the elders really came back specifically to protect me back to the sect?"
Lu Li asked as he walked
【……】
Wen Renjue saw the young man slowly walking towards the place where the spaceship was docked, and his eyes could not help but reveal a trace of greed. He raised his hand and gently sniffed the hands that had just touched the young man's cheek, and his eyes became darker and darker.
…
Seeing that he couldn't get a word out, Lu Li endured the pain in his soul and quietly opened his spiritual vision to look back.
The place where his eyes went was hazy. When he looked closely, he found a pair of extremely gloomy gray eyes. There was a strong gloom and darkness in those eyes. Suddenly, those eyes met Lu Li's eyes.
In just a moment, he returned to his original cold and indifferent state.
Lu Li quickly closed his spiritual vision, breaking out in a cold sweat. He turned his head and walked quickly towards the spaceship, his mind frantically warning
"That look just now clearly belonged to the elder... Could it be that the elder has fallen into evil?"
Lu Li was shocked and did not dare to look back until he got on the spaceship.
Wen Renjue watched the other party get on the boat before opening the space channel and leaving. He pressed his hands on his eyes and when he opened them again, they were slightly bloodshot.
…
Holding his pounding heart, Lu Li walked into his single room and fell onto the bed, his head buzzing.
[…Have you not noticed yet that Wenren Jue has been using the same name as himself since you met him?] Li Guang silently reminded
"I thought this was a normal behavior of the elders caring for the sect's disciples."
[…May you be blessed] Li Guang said speechlessly
[Wenrenliu Favorability +10, Current Favorability 55]
Lu Li: ...
"It's over, it's over. Why is this world so dangerous? I'm only a Nascent Soul, why do I have to face two powerful figures in the Tribulation Crossing Stage?"
Lu Li wailed and pounded the ground.
【……】
Lu Li was completely lost. After waiting for the spaceship to arrive at the sect, he returned to his garden in a daze.
He didn't care how the cranes, rabbits and other pets in the garden acted coquettishly towards him. He threw himself on his soft couch and couldn't recover for a long time.
"It's no use being so decadent. The plane's level increases with your favorability, and the difficulty gradually increases. You can't stop it even if you want to. Do you want to stay here forever? Don't you want to go home? Don't you want to return to the embrace of the original light?"
Li Guang asked three cold questions, dealing a fatal blow to Lu Li.
"No, I must go home. I don't want to stay here. I will never give up going home."
Lu Li stood up straight and clenched his fist with great courage.
[Okay, then just be nice and make them like you.]
Li Guang responded coldly and then stopped talking.
"I...I understand." Lu Li nodded and cheered himself up.
Then, holding his soul that was still emitting a dull pain, he tremblingly sent a message to Wenren Jue using the communication token. Seeing that the other party did not respond, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
