Even in the orcs' minds, he was a young man who had just left adolescence and had a promising future!
How did he become a stale, unsold cabbage in the mouths of these two pure humans?!
"One hundred and thirty-seven years old is very young! In the dragon race, that's just recently come of age! There's still a long way to go before old age!"
A surge of inexplicable grievance and anger welled up in his heart, causing him to almost forget his pretense and blurt out in a clear, youthful voice.
As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized that he seemed unusually agitated.
He immediately pursed his lips, turned his head away, leaving only the tip of a dragon horn sticking out due to his excessive excitement.
But he exuded an aura of unhappiness and grievance, a sense that they, being mere humans, shouldn't speak carelessly if they don't understand.
Seeing his reaction, Zi Xi finally couldn't help but chuckle.
It's actually...surprisingly kind of cute.
Mona was also trying so hard not to laugh that her shoulders were shaking.
The somewhat ambiguous and tense atmosphere inside the room was diluted by this sudden age crisis, becoming both funny and heartwarming.
Looking at their determined gazes, Wen Zhaoye really wondered if he was getting old.
For the next few days, the safe house seemed to become a space isolated from the world.
Wen Zhaoye seems to have completely abandoned his nearly collapsed aloof instructor persona and entered a peacock-like mode that leaves Mona dumbfounded and Zixi speechless.
“These energy ores are everywhere in my mine, nothing special.”
“It’s just a bit troublesome to mine them. If my energy crystals had a mistress to help take care of them, that would be great… It would give them a bit of a homey feel.”
He would occasionally crush a hard energy crystal with his hand, then look at Zi Xi with innocent eyes, his tone tinged with melancholy.
Mona crossed her arms and clicked her tongue twice.
How many mining farms do you own, sir?
Also, isn't showing off wealth by crushing energy stones a bit too hardcore?!
Xu Tiantian is still struggling to survive. Perhaps because she is the female lead, she is still alive despite the extremely tragic scenes.
This scene also gave Wen Zhaoye a lot of inspiration.
"Fighting and killing are really meaningless and tiring to watch. It's better to live a peaceful and stable life."
"I do own a few estates, the scenery is nice and the defense system is decent, but they are too spacious, and I'm missing someone to sunbathe with."
Occasionally, Wen Zhaoye would look at the scene on the screen, shake his head, and sigh.
Zi Xi was drinking water when she heard this and coughed softly.
Seeing that Zi Xi didn't react much, Wen Zhaoye clumsily started peeling the fruit, only to end up with the pit. He said with a frustrated look, "It seems I'm still not very good at these delicate tasks."
"Sigh, it's all because I was so focused on improving my strength before, and no one taught me these things... If only there was someone who didn't mind my clumsiness..."
After he finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Zixi's reaction.
Mona has gone from initial shock and suppressed laughter to numbness and even a bit of habit.
She could even munch on the top-tier snacks provided by the big shot while mentally commenting and complaining in real time.
Here it comes again, it's starting again.
Today's tea master, Instructor Zhou, is online.
She finally understood: this big shot was clearly there to ask to be kept by a sugar daddy.
His intentions were more obvious than the clear broth at the bottom of a hot pot.
What convinced Mona most that she had found a real couple was Xi Jie's attitude.
Xi-jie has a gentle and polite personality, but is actually very distant.
Therefore, if she is not interested in someone, she will definitely give a polite and clear rejection, and will not give the other person any false impression or chance to get closer.
Just like those people in the base who had shown her goodwill before, she resolutely rejected them all.
However, when it came to Instructor Zhou's almost clumsy yet blatant display of his peacock-like prowess, although she would occasionally glance at him helplessly or gently remind him to be careful, she did not show any aversion or rejection.
Sometimes they might even give a curt reply.
