Chapter 57
Lu Shenxing found a haystack near a farmland and leaned against it to get comfortable. He held his sword and tilted his head, trying to look comfortable and lazy despite being in such an embarrassing situation where he was surrounded by enemies.
Ning Que crouched beside him and asked for his opinion in a low voice, "Big Brother, can I sleep here?"
He was answered by a snoring sound.
The eldest brother was snoring while sleeping. Ning Que approached him curiously and couldn't help but touch a long and thin straw among the scattered straws on the ground. He took one end and scratched it.
Lu Shenxing frowned, waved his hand to hold it down, his voice a little hoarse from the deep sleep, "Be good, don't make trouble."
Ning Que was stunned, "Big Brother?"
He blinked his drooping eyelashes and looked at the hand holding him, feeling a little strange, as if he didn't hate it at all.
"Senior Brother, I can't get away." Ning Que muttered to himself, not knowing whether he was talking to himself or explaining to the sleeping Lu Shenxing. He just held hands and fell asleep beside him.
Ning Que frowned as his legs felt heavy, hesitated for a long time, and finally did not move.
After sleeping for a while, Ning Que woke up hungry. He put out the food he got from Jiang Wangchu, but didn't eat it. He just stared at it for a few seconds and put it away.
After a long period of self-torture, Lu Shenxing slept deeply and long. He thought vaguely that the haystack was very soft and seemed to be very warm.
His consciousness was sinking, and Lu Shenxing, who was trying to sleep a little longer, suddenly opened his eyes due to laziness. What caught his eye was yellow clothes. When he turned his head, he paused and immediately got up from Ning Que's legs.
Ning Que made a small gesture that made Lu Shenxing hold his breath. His brows were slightly furrowed, and the corners of his mouth turned down in a small arc. He looked a little aggrieved and lost. He must have been dreaming.
Different images and faces appeared in his mind. Lu Shenxing frowned, covered with a layer of memories. He couldn't help but reach out and stroke the corner of Ning Que's mouth with his thumb...
Ning Que woke up and looked at the man with a purple right eye in surprise, "Senior Brother, what's wrong with your eye?" He clearly remembered that it was fine before he went to bed.
Noticing the depressive aura emanating from Lu Shenxing, Ning Que gripped his sword and assumed an attacking stance. He glanced cautiously around and whispered, "Is someone attacking?"
Lu Shenxing glanced at the innocent-looking culprit, raised his lip, and said slowly, "Give my senior brother a kiss."
"..." After being stunned for a long while, Ning Que widened his eyes, "Big Brother, what did you say?"
Lu Shenxing narrowed his eyes and said simply and roughly, "Kiss me."
Ning Que shook his head violently.
Lu Shenxing slowly approached and pressed the back of Ning Que's head before he could dodge.
The warm breath touched his face. Ning Que couldn't break free and subconsciously closed his eyes, not moving a muscle.
A little disappointed that he didn't see any trace of familiarity, Lu Shenxing stood up unwillingly and said, "Then I'll wait for you to recognize me yourself."
Ning Que dragged his numb legs to catch up, "Big Brother, wait for me."
"Let's separate." Lu Shenxing's tone was emotionless. "You go east, I'll go west. We need to get out of here as soon as possible."
Ning Que stood there, humming a sound, lowering his head and gently rubbing the grass with the tip of his shoe, feeling somewhat lost without realizing it.
The feeling of loss did not disappear quickly, but instead grew stronger in his heart, to the point where it could no longer be ignored. Ning Que's face changed slightly, his ears turned red with embarrassment, and he was even more flustered. He must have been affected by the illusion, so he quickly recited a mental method in his mind before he calmed down.
Lu Shenxing knew that someone was following him, and he also knew that person was Ning Que, but he couldn't turn back. This was not a game of house. The longer he stayed in the illusion, the more unclear his mind would become. Both he and Ning Que had to get out.
Before sunset, Lu Shenxing discovered that the figure sitting not far behind him had disappeared. He breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Ning Que successfully left the illusion.
Lu Shenxing wandered alone in the town and met many disciples from other sects. They enjoyed the current situation and were deeply trapped in their own desires. They were unable to break free from it and were unwilling to leave. When they saw Lu Shenxing, they even showed off their lives.
Some are already covered with traces of worldly affairs and are almost unrecognizable.
Time passed so quickly that Lu Shenxing felt like decades had passed.
He went to the casino and gambled until his hands cramped, got into an argument with some thugs, venting his long-suppressed violent emotions, then went to the Ji Laoguan to listen to some folk songs all night, got drunk in a tavern, and indulged himself without reservation for several days and nights. Lu Shenxing then began to meditate.
Everything went smoothly at the beginning. Lu Shenxing overcame hunger, fatigue, jealousy and other desires until the last level.
The young man in the scholar's robe lowered his head, his cheeks flushed, and he said softly, "General, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
A hand covered him, and the hand was slightly cold. Lu Shenxing knew that Xin Liang's appearance was an illusion. When he was about to shake it off, he felt a pain in his neck and heard a hoarse voice, "This lord wants you."
Lu Shenxing's breathing began to become confused. Oh shit, are we going to gather for a family gathering?
The young man in a blue and white tracksuit was eating a cucumber seriously. The corners of his lips curled up, and his voice was a little unclear due to the swallowing sound. "Uncle, do you miss me?"
Sweat oozed from his forehead, and Lu Shenxing's facial expression gradually became distorted due to his desperate struggle. Before he could recover, he heard the beautiful piano sound drilling into his eardrum. At this moment, it did not sound beautiful at all to Lu Shenxing, but like a devil's sound.
Lu Shenxing's brows furrowed, and he tried his best to restrain himself, but Shi Changan still appeared, looking at him expectantly, smiling, and stretching out his slender, beautiful hands to unbutton his shirt, saying gently, "Daddy, come here."
Different feelings came from different places. Lu Shenxing's breathing became rough and heavy. Suddenly, all the feelings and the town disappeared. The cold wind whistled in his ears. His pupils shrank and he saw Ning Que falling off the cliff.
Lu Shenxing rushed over without hesitation, grabbed Ning Que's hand and pulled him up, his expression anxious, "How is it? Are you hurt?"
When he didn't get a response, Lu Shenxing immediately picked up Ning Que, touched his arms and legs, and asked worriedly, "Where does it hurt?"
"Big Brother, don't leave me." Ning Que hugged Lu Shenxing's neck and leaned his lips against his face.
Lu Shenxing suddenly pushed Ning Que away, gasping for breath. He was in a state of paranoia, one within the other. Love was the biggest obstacle in his heart. The more he tried to break free from it, the more painful it became. It was like connecting his flesh, blood, and bones, and he simply couldn't overcome it.
"222, state your conditions."
"Ding, 100 million love points."
"Okay." Almost impatiently.
Let alone 100 million, in this situation, any conditions are acceptable.
Lu Shenxing intuitively felt his mind calm down and he relaxed completely. When he opened his eyes again, a sea of white flowers was swaying before his eyes, and there was a lump of flesh beside the sea of flowers.
"Senior Brother—" Jiang Wangchu climbed up using his hands and feet and ran into Lu Shenxing's arms as if he had seen a savior.
Lu Shenxing stretched out his hand to hold Jiang Wangchu down. Being held down would be like being held down by a fat pig.
"Just you? Where are the others?"
"I don't know. There was no one here when I came." Jiang Wangchu looked miserable because of the funny movement. He didn't dare to leave rashly, so he squatted there and waited. There was not even an ant on the ground, and no insects on the trees or flowers. It seemed like he was the only living thing. He was so scared that he couldn't even sleep.
Lu Shenxing looked at the white flowers. They were exactly the same as the ones he had seen in town, except for the color. One was pure white, the other was pure black. Suddenly, Wan Guanqian's words flashed through his mind. The floribunda was white, with large leaves and a flower shape...
Lu Shenxing went to see the sea of flowers again to see if Naoyang and Posa were the same kind of flowers.
A bold idea spread in his mind, and Lu Shenxing's eyelids twitched suddenly. Could this be the death place that Wan Guanqian mentioned?
Jiang Wangchu was still crying and looked extremely sad.
The little fat boy was scared and chose to stay where he was instead of running around. It was really a blessing in disguise. Lu Shenxing touched the egg in his arms and made sure it was intact.
"Leave."
"Where are we going? Senior Brother, aren't we waiting for Second Brother and Junior Brother?" Jiang Wangchu asked as they walked.
"They should be somewhere else." According to Wan Guanqian's instructions, Lu Shenxing was alert to the movements around him and was extremely cautious with every step he took.
"Big Brother, do you have anything to eat?" Jiang Wangchu swallowed his saliva, and his three chins became thinner. "I'm so hungry."
"Bear with it." Lu Shenxing said in a bad tone.
After walking for a while, Jiang Wangchu's body sank down, and in the blink of an eye only the top of his head was exposed. He didn't even have time to scream.
Lu Shenxing quickly took out the talisman paper and crushed it, splitting the swamp into two.
Jiang Wangchusha, who had returned to the ground, was terrified. His whole body was shaking like a sieve. He hugged Lu Shenxing's legs and cried, with mud in his nose, eyes and mouth. "Big Brother, don't leave me here."
Lu Shenxing grabbed Jiang Wangchu's collar and pulled it open with force. He was covered in mud, and the fishy smell went into his nose, making him feel extremely nauseous.
"Didn't I tell you to walk where I walked?" Lu Shenxing was furious. This little fat guy was always causing trouble instead of helping others.
"I just followed in the footsteps of my senior brother." Jiang Wangchu was startled by the yelling and wiped his eyes in grievance.
Lu Shenxing took a deep breath and felt that the ground under his feet was a moving underworld. He didn't know when he entered it without anyone noticing.
"Open your mouth." Lu Shenxing threw a pill into Jiang Wangchu's mouth. The Bai family was wealthy and powerful, and the storage bag had a lot of space. There were a lot of things in it, everything.
Jiang Wangchu swallowed it and asked, "Big Brother, what did you give me to eat?"
A prompt sounded in his head, and the task progress increased from zero to ten. The surprise came too quickly, and Lu Shenxing couldn't believe it.
Is the little fat boy the protagonist of this world? The title of the book is "The Loser's Counterattack Life"? Lu Shenxing instantly imagined the old plot.
Could it be that his mission was to help the little fat man become an immortal? Glancing at the dirty, smelly mass in front of him, Lu Shenxing's forehead veins throbbed. Why not someone else? If only Liuyang was the one, it would be much easier.
Footsteps came from the bushes on the left, and Jiang Wangchu shouted in surprise, "Second Brother!"
Lu Shenxing came to his senses and saw Liuyang. His robe was torn, his lips were chapped, and he was covered in dirt. It was the first time he saw him in such a mess, so he casually asked, "Are you hurt?"
Liuyang remained silent. The scabbard of his sword was nowhere to be found. The tip of the sword was covered with dust and grass juice, which must have been caused by him walking on the ground.
Seeing Liuyang staring at him, Jiang Wangchu stopped wiping his face and answered truthfully, "Junior Brother is not with us."
"You encountered him too?" Liuyang thought of what he had experienced before, and a look of fear appeared on his face. There was a barrier set up here, and they could only walk. It was extremely difficult to get out.
Lu Shenxing pondered and said, "Let's find Ning Que first."
"Find a way out." Liuyang objected expressionlessly.
"I told you to find Ning Que first." Lu Shenxing looked at Liu Yang coldly, "Do you need me to say it again?"
Liuyang's anger came so suddenly that he himself was unaware of it.
When Jiang Wangchu saw that his two senior brothers were about to fight, he quickly raised his hand weakly, "Well... I also agree to look for my junior brother."
Two to one, Liuyang has nothing to say.
There is no such thing as a teacher among three people. The atmosphere was inexplicably dull. Lu Shenxing had an anxiety attack and was worried about Ning Que's safety. Even Liuyang had become like that.
A faint smell of blood lingered in his nose, and Lu Shenxing handed over a small green bottle.
"Leave me alone." Liuyang said in a stiff tone.
Throwing the small bottle away, Lu Shenxing sneered, "If you want to die here, then you can get out."
Damn it, if he hadn't calculated on having more people and more strength, and wanting to get Ning Que out of the secret realm safely, he wouldn't have wanted to care at all.
Jiang Wangchu was worried. The eldest brother's words were so harsh that he thought the second brother would be so angry that he would just leave. However, he didn't expect that the other party would actually pick up the small bottle on the ground, hold it in his hand, and endure it.
Liuyang treated the wound hastily, his facial lines as tense as ever, showing no sign of relaxation. He uttered two words stiffly into the air, barely louder than a mosquito's buzz, "Thank you."
"..." Lu Shenxing's mouth twitched. He probably owed him a favor, which was unprecedented for Liuyang. He must be feeling uncomfortable all over.
Suddenly, a voice rang in his mind again, prompting that the mission progress was 5%. After Lu Shenxing's excitement, his face darkened. No, it was already 10% when he rescued Jiang Wangchu.
Lu Shenxing's eyes flickered as he glanced at Liuyang beside him. Could it be...
"222, do I have two tasks this time?"
"Ding, Mr. Lu, fill out this answer sheet, and I'll make an exception and give you all the information in Volume 4."
For some reason, Lu Shenxing detected a sense of resentment, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
Lu Shenxing joked in his heart, "Are you relying on this to get the bonus?"
The system fell silent, and a few lines of words appeared in Lu Shenxing's void.
222 was conscientious and responsible during his work, with a serious and rigorous attitude, diligent and meticulous, patient and responsible when problems arose, always available at any time, and without complaint...
After reading the last word, Lu Shenxing felt like he was going blind. He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen anyone so shameless.
