"Okay, boss lady." Li Xiu took the box of wine.

I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but when the proprietress let go of Li Xiu’s hand, her fingertips gently slid across the back of Li Xiu’s hand.

"Hey, young man, this road is very slippery, be careful not to fall." The proprietress said to Li Xiu with a smile.

"I'll pay attention." Li Xiu carried the wine out of the tavern, then took the wine out of the box and placed the bottles on the long table outside.

Boxes of wine and plates of food were carried out, and Li Xiu discovered that the food here was mainly fungi and seafood, and the fruits were also ones he had never seen before.

More and more people came to help, and what puzzled Li Xiu was that these people had never seen him before, but when they saw him, a stranger, they did not seem surprised or feel any sense of distance.

Perhaps it’s because the residents here are just like the name of the city, full of love and enthusiasm, but this still makes Li Xiu feel a little strange.

The sky gradually darkened. Many people had already come to the small square. Old Man Wu also came over, dragging a large wine barrel. The wooden barrel was as big as half the room. He held it on his shoulder with one hand and casually placed it on the ground in the square. He didn't look like he was struggling at all, as if the barrel was made of foam.

Before the host Xiaobuer arrived, some people had already started drinking.

Bottles of wine were opened, and the tap of the barrel of wine brought by Old Man Wu was also turned on, filling cups with amber wine.

The cup, which was bigger than his face, was held in front of one guy's face and he drank it all up in no time.

The man wiped the remaining wine from his lips and said generously, "Father Wu, your rose wine is getting more and more authentic. It tastes better than the boss lady's wine."

"Blind tailor, can you please say what you just said again?" The proprietress, who was wearing a red dress and looked like a rose with thorns, came over and grabbed the blind tailor's ear.

The blind tailor was not angry at all, and smiled as if enjoying himself: "Old Man Wu's wine is delicious, and you, the boss lady, are beautiful. Good wine and beautiful women are what I want, and neither of them can be missing."

"Get lost." The proprietress scolded with a smile and let go of the blind tailor's ear.

When Li Xiu heard the name of rose wine, he was slightly startled and quickly took the glass to receive it.

Old Man Wu next to him handed the cup that was bigger than his face to Li Xiu and said, "Little brother, this is not how you drink wine. You have to use this."

"Okay." Li Xiu took the cup, turned on the faucet, filled the cup, and then brought it to his mouth to taste it.

The wine tastes mellow and fragrant at first, with a strange aroma. After it enters the stomach, it feels like a hot current is spreading in the stomach, making the whole body feel warm.

"The taste of this wine..." Li Xiu's expression became more complicated.

The first kind of wine he drank in the underworld house was called "Blood Rose". The name of this wine was Rose, but the word "blood" was missing. The taste of the wine was very similar to that of Blood Rose, but it seemed to be missing something and was not as strong as Blood Rose.

"Little brother, how about my wine?" asked Old Man Wu with a smile.

"Like a woman, soft at first touch, but fierce in the embrace." Li Xiu said.

After hearing this, Father Wu laughed out loud, patted Li Xiu on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, you are someone who understands wine. My rose wine is made from the love rose flowers that are unique to our City of Love, using a unique secret recipe. The flower of love is added to the wine, which is gentle and passionate. Young people should drink more of it, as the taste is stronger than love."

As he spoke, Father Wu raised his glass in front of Li Xiu and clinked it with his: "Cheers... for love..."

Seeing Old Man Wu drink the whole glass, Li Xiu had no choice but to drink the whole glass as well.

"Young man, I am the boss of the wine shop. I am not happy if you say that to me. I will punish you with this glass of wine." The lady boss brought a glass of wine to Li Xiu and said, "Try my gentle lover. It is many times better than the wine of that stinky old man."

Hearing this name, Li Xiu was stunned again.

There is also a wine called Gentle Lover in the Dark House, and Li Xiu has used it when mixing cocktails.

Looking at the mint-colored wine in the glass, it seems a little different from the gentle lover in the dark house.

Li Xiu took the wine glass and drank a glass with the proprietress.

After the proprietress put down her wine glass, she asked with a smile, "How is my gentle lover?"

"It's full of twists and turns, with an endless aftertaste, like a woman's obsession. This wine can kill people." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"It's not just the wine that can kill people." The proprietress said with a charming and meaningful look in her eyes.

Li Xiu didn't know whether alcohol could really kill people. He was really confused now.

The aroma of this wine is very similar to that of the gentle lover, but it is also missing something and is a little different.

"Boss lady, what is this wine made of?" Li Xiu asked.

"The recipe of the wine is the foundation of my tavern, and it is also my secret. Of course, I cannot let others know about it. If you want to know, that's easy. My tavern is in need of an owner." The proprietress said with a smile.

"Madam boss, you are trying to get the upper hand over the young girl. How immoral! The boy is so young, please don't harm him. If you are really lonely, then come and harm me. I will bear all the sins alone." The blind tailor laughed.

The people around were cheering, and the atmosphere was cheerful for a while.

"Get lost. I don't like old things like you." The proprietress's words caused another round of laughter.

"Xiao Bu'er is here." Someone shouted, and everyone suddenly became quiet.

Xiao Bu'er was still dressed as he was during the day. After walking to the square, he jumped onto the platform, snapped his fingers at the proprietress, and said arrogantly, "Madam, give me a glass of the strongest wine."

"Here it comes." The proprietress walked to the long table, opened a bottle, poured some white juice from it, and handed the cup to Xiao Bu'er.

When the proprietress walked past Li Xiu, Li Xiu clearly smelled a strong smell of milk in the cup.

Xiao Buer took the cup and raised it high: "I, Xiao Buer, will treat you to a drink. No one who doesn't lie down today is allowed to leave."

Everyone raised their glasses excitedly, and Li Xiu followed suit, and the carnival night immediately began.

It seemed as if everyone in the city was here. No matter whether they were middle-aged ladies holding their children or shy young girls, their alcohol tolerance was surprisingly high, drinking one glass after another.

Soon someone jumped onto the table and started dancing, and the sloppy violinist picked up his violin to accompany them.

Before long, many people joined in, and Black Knight also pulled his girlfriend Kado to dance.

Li Xiu held the wine glass and drank a little of each wine. The names on the bottles felt familiar yet unfamiliar to him.

Xiao Bu'er was also in high spirits, clinking glasses with people everywhere, but her "wine" was the white ** with a milky aroma poured for her by the proprietress.

"Can milk get you drunk?" Li Xiu looked at Xiao Bu'er's rosy face, feeling somewhat confused.

"Children can't drink alcohol." The proprietress sat down next to Li Xiu and said with a smile.

"Xiao Bu'er said her father is in the Sea of ​​Heaven?" Li Xiu said.

"People always need some hope, and children need hope even more." The proprietress filled Li Xiu's glass, poured herself a glass, raised it in front of Li Xiu and said with a smile: "With hope, everything is possible, don't you think so?"

The proprietress's words seemed to answer his question, but also seemed to be no answer. What else could Li Xiu say? He could only clink his glass with the proprietress's and drink the wine in the glass down in one gulp.

"If I were you, I wouldn't get drunk tonight." The proprietress took a small sip and said to Li Xiu with a smile.

"Why?" Li Xiu was a little confused.

“Maybe there are better delicacies than wine waiting for you to taste. Wouldn’t it be a pity to miss them?” The boss stroked the rim of the glass with his fingers, his eyes full of spring love, and his tongue lightly moved to wipe away the wine on his red lips.

"Well, I don't think that man is blind at all, why do you call him the blind tailor?" Li Xiu changed the subject.

The proprietress wasn't his type, and he was full of doubts and wasn't in the mood for that.

"He even patched it crookedly. What else could he be but blind?" The lady boss pointed at the violinist and said, "Look at the clothes he's wearing. They were all patched by a blind tailor."

Li Xiu looked at the zither player. His clothes were covered with patches, but the workmanship of those patches was really poor. The stitches were large and uneven, and the patches were all crooked. Even an ordinary housewife would not mend them like this.

"How did a tailor not starve to death when he patched things like that?" Li Xiu laughed.

"He's not very good at mending clothes, but he's okay at mending other things," said the proprietress.

Li Xiu wanted to ask more, but the proprietress stretched out her finger and tapped Li Xiu's forehead. She put her red lips close to Li Xiu's ear and said, "I've always been very lazy. I don't want to get up after I go to bed, but I can't sleep with the light on. I wonder if anyone can help me blow out the light."

After saying that, without waiting for Li Xiu to answer, he twisted his waist and walked away.

As soon as the lady boss left, a drunken man staggered over and glared at Li Xiu, asking, "What were you whispering about with that old woman just now?"

"She said you are very popular in the city." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Hmph, let her talk too much." Xiao Bu'er said coldly: "You'd better stay away from that woman. No one who gets involved with her will have a good ending."

"Is your father really in Tianzhihai?" Li Xiu didn't want to discuss this issue with a little girl, so he asked instead.

"Of course." Xiao Buer said loudly, "When I grow up a little more, I will build a big ship and go to the Sea of ​​Heaven to find him."

"Then what?" Li Xiu asked.

"Then beat him up so badly that he can't take care of himself." Xiao Bu'er said viciously.

Li Xiu was stunned and asked, "Why?"

"Who asked him to abandon me? I'm already very merciful not to kill him." Xiao Bu'er snorted coldly: "Have you really been to the Sea of ​​Heaven?"

"I've only been outside the door." Li Xiu sighed.

"Why not go in?" Xiaobuer asked.

"It's too dangerous. I didn't dare go in." Li Xiu answered truthfully.

"That's right. If a frail uncle like you enters the Sea of ​​Heaven, I'm afraid you won't survive even a day." Xiao Buer nodded slightly, and then continued: "Uncle, where are you from?"

"City of Light." Li Xiu replied.

"I've never heard of it. What kind of place is that?" Xiaobuer asked again.

"A place full of weak people like me is not as beautiful as here, and there are not so many lovely people there," said Li Xiu.

"What's the point of that kind of place? You should stay in the City of Love and follow me. I will protect you." Xiaobuer raised the glass and drank the "wine" in it.

"Although that place is not very good, my friends are all there, so I still want to go back." Li Xiu said with a smile.

Xiao Bu'er was slightly startled, looked at Li Xiu for a while, then walked away in silence.

The atmosphere in the square became more and more heated. Some people were already drunk, some were still dancing, and Black Knight and Cardoel danced one dance after another as if they were tireless.

Bang!

At this moment, a loud noise was suddenly heard.

Everyone in the square suddenly became quiet and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

Li Xiu also turned his head and looked over. The voice came from the city gate leading to the Sea of ​​​​Aegean.

Li Xiu stood up and walked to the intersection. He looked towards the city gate, only to see that it was wide open and a man was walking in from outside.

The man was wearing a black cloak and his face could not be seen clearly, but he looked strong and his steps were like a lion.

He was carrying a black tombstone on his shoulder and walking towards them step by step. It was clearly already dark in the city, and it seemed to be getting darker with his steps.

"Who are you?" a big man came up and asked, holding a bottle of wine.

Bang!

The man didn't do anything. He grabbed the tombstone on his shoulder with one hand and smashed it down, directly knocking the big man down. Blood splattered, bones broke, and the big man was broken into two pieces at the waist.

Li Xiu was horrified to see that on the tombstone were engraved the words "Position of the God of Killing".

The next second, Li Xiu saw the black knight rushing out like a black shadow, and the sword at his waist was drawn out at the same time.

He was dressed in black armor, but the sword was filled with holy light. The moment the shining sword stabbed out, the entire City of Love was illuminated and bathed in holy light.

The sword shines like snow, its force is like a mountain, and the power of one sword can split mountains.

The terrifying sword light shocked Li Xiu. Even if Lao Dao's magic sword had entered the soul-forging realm, it was not so powerful.

But when the sword light reached the cloaked man, the cloaked man simply grabbed the tombstone and smashed it down.

The sword light was instantly shattered like glass. Although it was hundreds of meters away, when the tombstone fell, it had already reached the Black Knight.

The head was shattered, the armor was cracked, and the body of a living person was twisted together, which was indescribably weird and terrifying.

Cardoel let out a heart-wrenching cry and rushed towards the cloaked man like a madman.

But the next second, the cloaked man appeared in front of her like a ghost, and another dead soul was added under the tombstone.

"Let's go, take Xiaobu'er with you." Old Man Wu pushed Xiaobu'er into Li Xiu's arms, shouted, and rushed towards the cloaked man.

The square was in chaos. Some people were running away, while others were rushing towards the cloaked man like Old Man Wu.

Li Xiu pulled Xiao Bu'er and ran, but Xiao Bu'er shook off Li Xiu's hand and rushed towards the cloaked man.

The bloody massacre began at this moment. In just a moment, Li Xiu saw a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. The tombstones were stained with blood, and the original color could no longer be seen.

In just a moment, Old Man Wu was crushed to death by a tombstone, the blind tailor also died, and the cloaked man was harvesting lives like a ghost.

Li Xiu summoned the Jedi Knight, holding a golden dinner knife, and tried to catch up with Xiao Bu'er, but it was too late.

The cloaked man had appeared in front of Xiao Bu'er, but he did not kill her directly with the tombstone like he did with the others. Instead, he grabbed Xiao Bu'er's neck with his other hand and lifted her up.

Xiao Bu'er struggled desperately but to no avail. He kept shooting at the cloaked man with the wooden spear in his hand. However, the wooden spear that could kill light-based monsters seemed to have become a real toy at this moment. Only the gunshots were heard, but the cloaked man was not injured.

The cloaked man slowly raised his head, and Li Xiu saw half of his face. Above the corner of his mouth, which had a strange smile like that of an evil spirit, there was a blood-red mole.

The Jedi Knight entered a super-spiritual state and slashed wildly at the cloaked man with bloody slashes. Li Xiu also held the forbidden gun in one hand and shot at him.

But it was still too late. The cloaked man had a hideous smile on his face, and stared at Xiaobuler as if he was hunting a soul-demon. He moved his fingers slightly, and Xiaobuler's neck was suddenly broken. The little head drooped down weakly, twisted into a weird angle.

From Li Xiu's position, he shouldn't have been able to see Xiao Bu'er's face, but because of the distortion of his head, Li Xiu saw that Xiao Bu'er's face was full of fear, helplessness, and despair, his eyes were staring blankly, and his pupils had completely lost focus.

Li Xiu turned and ran. Now he could only hope that he could survive. Only by surviving could he do more things.

But the moment Li Xiu turned around, everything went dark before his eyes.

Bang!

Li Xiu fell to the ground. After he regained his vision, he found that he was back in the room in the City of Light.

Next to him, the tablet of the God of Death was lying diagonally on Li Xiu's quilt, still smelling of alcohol.

"Damn it, it was this guy who massacred the City of Love!" Li Xiu looked at the tablet of the God of Death, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

But on second thought, something seems to be wrong. If the person in the tablet of the God of Death is really the cloaked man, how could he appear in the stone house in the City of Black Death?

"What is going on? What is the connection between the City of Black Death and the City of Love?" Li Xiu even doubted whether he had just had a dream or he had entered the dream of the God of Death tablet.

However, the tortoise shell of the white-shelled turtle he brought back made Li Xiu deny this idea. That was not Chu, but a real thing that happened.

"Who... are you?" Li Xiu stared at the tablet of the God of Death, his mood becoming extremely complicated for a moment.

If the cloaked man was the general of the Demon Kingdom who got the tablet of immortality, then why did he massacre the people of the City of Love?

Those in the City of Love are all human beings. Shouldn't the general of the Demon Kingdom kill the demons? Why did he kill people?

"City of Love, what exactly is that place?" Li Xiu stood there for a long time without moving, his palms sweating.
