Chapter 54 Welcome Back
After living with Jing Yuan for a while, Lu Qi wanted to leave.
It’s nothing, Jing Yuan is just a little annoyed.
How could he, a general, be so idle... Even though the Luofu Fairy Boat is much more comfortable now than it was seven hundred years ago, and even the position of a general is not very busy, he can't always tease her!
And Jingyuan even keeps birds in his hair!
Lu Qi was stunned. It was the first time he saw the little bird coming out of Jing Yuan's hair. He stared at it in amazement, his golden pupils moving around as the little bird moved.
She was looking at the little sparrow, and Jingyuan was looking at her. They were looking at different places, and they seemed particularly harmonious.
In addition, when Lu Qi and Banxia went out to play together... No, when they observed the current fairy boat, they always heard the reputation related to General Jing Yuan.
What about the general with closed eyes, the general who always dodges when listening to reports, etc. Wow, I didn’t expect that the young man who was full of energy back then would become like this now.
But there is no change in appearance...it just grew a little and became more beautiful.
Originally, Lu Qi was thinking about catching up with his old friend, but perhaps because he looked too immature, his words came out soft.
She emphasized several times that she was Lu Qi, but Jing Yuan still brought up the past.
"I know you're Lu Qi," the tall general said with a smile, propping up his head and playing with the tufted bird that had gotten into his hair. "So, what did you remember today, Xiao Qi?"
This unmoved and nonchalant guy was much harder to deal with than the brother Jing Yuan in Lu Qi's memory. He even felt a little strange.
As expected, time increases the sense of distance. Lu Qi stared at him disapprovingly.
"I want to go back to my own place."
"Why?" Jing Yuan stretched out his finger and tickled the chirping little sparrow. "Don't you usually find it annoying to have Dragon Master watching over you? Why do you want to go back?"
Lu Qi didn't care, she pouted angrily.
"I'm not going anywhere. I'm a dragon, and dragons belong in the sea."
Jing Yuan laughed, his expression became softer, even a little melancholy.
"So I remembered this sentence..."
"It's okay if you don't let me go back," Lu Qi said seriously with a stern face, "First, tell me, what happened all these years? In my memory, I should still be sailing around the universe, why am I now a member of the Chiming tribe?"
"Jingyuan, what's wrong with me?"
The young Chiming tribe member looked at him with clear eyes, but its golden vertical pupils seemed to still retain their former obsidian appearance.
Even though it is a memory from hundreds of years ago, it still shines brightly.
Jing Yuan was stunned, and the bird in his hand flapped its wings and flew away quickly. He stood up and half-knelt in front of Lu Qi.
“…Is it really you?”
The young-looking friend in front of him rolled his eyes at him in a very familiar way.
"Brother Jingyuan," she said in a baby voice, with a sweet smell emanating from her whole body, "If you have Alzheimer's disease and can't recognize me, then go get an eye exam."
It's exactly the same person as in my memory.
The man with white hair and golden eyes lowered his head and covered half of his face with his big hands.
After a long time, he squeezed out a half-choked, half-joyful sound from his throat, and the strength of the beating in his chest swept up the dusty memories and presented them together.
"...Sister Lu Qi, welcome back."
"Okay, you're not crying secretly, are you?" Lu Qi tilted his head and squatted down like a little bird to look at Jing Yuan's appearance, as surprised as if he had seen a prehistoric monster. "Brother Jing Yuan, are you crying?"
Jing Yuan, who was originally still moved, subconsciously picked her up and pinched her face when he heard this.
This little face is so soft and tender, perfect for being bullied.
“???” Lu Qi stared at him in shock.
What a shameless brother Jingyuan is, he has become a damn adult!
She stretched her legs hard and kicked Jingyuan's knee.
"Asshole brother Jingyuan, be serious!"
This kick finally got to the point, and Jing Yuan began to tell the story after Lu Qi's death.
Lu Qi died unexpectedly.
The passenger ship she was on collided with the fleet of the Legion of Destruction, and before she could respond, it was blown to pieces in outer space.
Because she had been blessed with abundance, her body healed automatically even after her death. When Xianzhou received the news and collected her body, she looked like she was asleep.
But no one knew whether Lu Qi's body would undergo any changes after his death, so the Xianzhou Alliance unanimously decided to seal Lu Qi's body.
Several decades passed, and there was some unrest among the Fengyao army. They seemed to have received the order from the ancestor of longevity and plague, and wanted to fight for Lu Qi's body. They regarded her as another Jianmu, believing that her flesh and blood could grant others immortality.
Their actions gave inspiration to two people from the Immortal Boat. The two crazy guys who did not cry at Lu Qi's funeral hit it off, broke into the prison, and stole Lu Qi's body.
One of them wanted to use the ancestral magic method of transforming into a dragon to allow Lu Qi to be reborn as a member of the Chiming clan, while the other wanted to perfect it with his genius ability.
Obviously, they both failed.
Although no serious consequences were caused, trespassing into the prison and stealing Lu Qi's body were serious crimes, and they were thrown into prison.
After that, the prison was in chaos, and a talented craftsman accidentally ate the flesh and blood of Shuhu and gained immortality.
"Wait, can't you just say their names?" Lu Qi's round golden pupils widened, looking like a cute doll. "One is Dan Feng and the other is Ying Xing. I've decoded it... There's no need to hide it, but this accidental ingestion is too watery, isn't it?"
"Okay, I can't hide it from you." Jing Yuan shrugged.
Ying Xing was lured by the sudden illusion of flesh and blood.
Perhaps it was because the short-lived seed had been poisoned by Shu Hu during the battle, or perhaps it was because he was asking for too much. He was unwilling to see Lu Qi die so young, so he wanted to change his fate.
The arrogant craftsman was so conceited that he didn't know his own limitations and thought he could do it, so he did it.
No one knew how he accidentally ate the flesh and blood of Shuhu. All they knew was that after that, due to his overly intense emotions, he could not withstand the transformation of immortality and quickly fell into the body of evil.
Jing Liu fell into the devil's body almost at the same time as him.
"...Is that so." Lu Qi was silent for a moment. He never expected that the future of this line would be like this.
Among the six of them, except Bai Heng who died of old age, and Jing Yuan who watched everything calmly, none of them had a good end.
"So, where's the Master?"
"General Teng Xiao died on the battlefield."
"Indeed, if we want the master to put down the knife, we'll probably have to wait until he dies."
Lu Qi looked very calm and not sad, his clear golden eyes drooped.
"What about Dan Feng?"
"After his imprisonment in the Prison of Hell expired, his lifespan was drawing to a close," Jing Yuan continued. "His reincarnation is called Dan Heng. He didn't display any dragon features at birth. He has now left Luofu and joined the Starry Sky Train."
"Hmm? Starry Sky Train?" Lu Qi was stunned.
Isn't this the camp to which the pioneering star god Akivali belonged, whom she had tossed aside because she thought it was too simple?
"Dan Heng... I want to see him," Lu Qi muttered, "Will he still remember me?"
"When a vidyadhara is reborn, he will forget everything that happened before."
"Okay," Lu Qi was just saying it. She was a little disappointed not to see her deceased friend, but she was also very happy that Jing Yuan was still alive. "That's fine."
She quickly put these melancholy feelings aside.
Things have already happened, and there is no point for her to dwell on it. She cannot change the past, and there is no way to reload the game to that time.
Even if you can't let go, you have to learn to let go.
Lu Qi turned his attention back to Jing Yuan.
The mature general still had his hair tied up with a red silk ribbon, but his bangs were a little long, covering his right eye and making him look overly lazy.
"What's wrong, Sister Lu Qi?" The old and undisciplined brother Jing Yuan smiled slowly, "Are you mesmerized by my appearance?"
Lu Qi: "Don't act young when you're already old. Brother Jingyuan, you're already 800 years old this year, right?"
Jingyuan was hit by an arrow.
Indeed, he had been a general for all those years, and his mentality was quite good. He showed no signs of being possessed by a demonic spirit, and he was so healthy that he didn't look old at all. But at his age, from the perspective of the Immortal Boat, he was practically a man with one foot in the coffin.
He surrendered with a wry smile.
Why is it that every time he gets along with Sister Lu Qi, his age doesn’t seem to be appropriate?
Either too young or too old.
Fortunately, Sister Lu Qi has now become an immortal, so he may still have some chance and can wait until she grows up.
The black-haired, golden-eyed child blinked at him, which actually made him feel a little guilty.
...I really can't live with my conscience.
After forcing Jing Yuan to tell her about the past, Lu Qi seemed much more cheerful. She was now the little bully in the general's mansion, even wanting to climb the tree in the courtyard.
After she finished climbing down, she saw the location under the tree and her eyes lit up.
“Brother Jingyuan, come here quickly!” The little devil waved at Jingyuan, not treating him as a majestic general at all. “Hurry, help me dig, there is wine underneath!”
Jing Yuan doesn't like alcohol, but when he heard Lu Qi's words, his brows raised.
"Could it be you who buried it 800 years ago?"
"Of course I am. Could I possibly come back to life?" Lu Qi said, hands on his hips. "Back then, I stole Master's wine for you to drink. After he caught me, he buried several more jars in there. I just checked the traces and found that Master didn't dig them out in the end... Humph, you're in for a treat."
In fact, 800 years did not leave any traces at all, but when Lu Qi buried it, she made some marks that only she could recognize.
I didn't expect the mark was still there...
It’s a pity that the master didn’t get to taste her cooking skills, which is a bit regrettable.
Jing Yuan helped without complaint and indeed dug out three jars of old wine from the ground. When he opened the lids, he could still smell the fragrant aroma of wine.
The wine shouldn't be able to last this long, but it was made by Lu Qi herself. She took the longevity of the people in Xianzhou into consideration and made some new attempts.
It seems she is still very smart. Even 800-year-old wine smells so good!
Her eyes lit up and she smacked her lips unconsciously.
But how can a minor drink alcohol? Jing Yuan confiscated it directly.
"That won't do," Jing Yuan said slowly, "Sister Lu Qi, have you forgotten that you are still a child of the Chiming tribe? You can't drink alcohol."
"Then bury it back for me!"
"No, no," Jing Yuan shook his head, refusing Lu Qi's exasperated request. "Since it's already been dug out, I'll reluctantly drink it for you."
The young man, now grown into an adult, held the wine jar in one hand. He was bathed in sunlight, a pale golden glow that stained his golden pupils even lighter.
It's as if nothing has changed.
