"Brother Lu, what is' Blue Butterfly Dew '?" Yi Xin looked at Lu Chen and asked in confusion, "I've never heard of it before. Is it a rare mystical material?"
Lu Chen's pupils shrank slightly. After a moment, he took a deep breath and his expression returned to normal. He smiled and said, "Oh, that's not a mystical material. It's just a kind of fine wine. It's not worth much."
"It's wine." Yi Xin shrugged. It was obvious that she had no interest in things like wine. She bid farewell to Lu Chen and turned to leave.
However, at this moment, Lu Chen called out to her.
Yi Xin said, "Brother Lu, is there anything else?"
Lu Chen was silent for a moment and said, "Yi Xin, you have to be careful in your daily life. Don't trust others too easily."
Yi Xin was a little surprised and said, "Brother Lu, what do you mean? Is there something wrong with the person who asked me to pass on the message? "
"That's not it …" Lu Chen shook his head and seemed to smile bitterly. He then coughed and changed the topic, saying, "There are too many bad people in this world. You're young and you look a little silly. I'm afraid you'll be taken advantage of."
"Hey, who's silly, who's silly!" As expected, Yi Xin was immediately led astray by his words. She started to shout and huff.
Lu Chen nodded with a smile and said, "Anyway, that's roughly what I meant. Oh, right, He Changsheng from before. Stay away from him if you don't have anything to do. If he really attacks me like a mad dog and injures you by accident, it'll be terrible. "
Yi Xin nodded and said, "I know. Don't worry."
She turned and left. Her footsteps were light, and she seemed to be in a good mood. Lu Chen stood behind her, looking at her receding figure. He stood silently for a moment, turned around, and suddenly scolded in a low voice, "Damn fatty, what are you trying to do!"
…
At the foot of the Dog Head Mountain, Atsu trotted all the way over. It had been many days since the earthquake. Many of the celestial birds and beasts that had fled here on that day had unknowingly returned, and once again occupied their orderly positions on the strange mountain top.
When Atsu walked over, many animals saw him.
The birds chirped, the ferocious beasts roared, and an ostrich accidentally kicked Atsu's butt as it passed by. There were even more exotic beasts who remembered how pathetic Atsu looked when he was thrown off the mountain peak. They all looked at Atsu with disdain and schadenfreude as he carefully walked up Dog Head Mountain.
The huge figure was still shrouding the top of the mountain.
Rhinoceroses, fierce tigers, lions, giant elephants, and red-crowned cranes danced in the air. There were even more exotic birds and beasts that Atsu had never seen or heard of before. It was unknown how so many of them had gathered in Kunlun Mountain. Among them, there were quite a few ferocious beasts. When Atsu passed through their territory, they either provoked, obstructed, or intimidated him, causing Atsu to look back at every step, for fear that he would accidentally become food in the stomachs of others.
With great difficulty, Atsu slowly climbed to the top of the Dog Head Mountain. The journey was really exhausting. Atsu was so tired that he was half hanging out his tongue and panting. After resting for a while, he looked back and saw a huge Oxen lying on the top of the mountain. Its eyes were half closed, as if it was dozing off.
Ah-Tu waited for a moment, and then he started to stride towards the green ox. At the same time, the entire mountain was deathly silent. The gazes of countless immortal beasts were looking towards the peak of the mountain, and they were waiting for the next shadow to be tossed down.
Atsu wagged its tail and slowly walked to the side of Oxen, which was like a small mountain. It still seemed to be a little cautious, and in the silent atmosphere of the mountain, it seemed to be a little nervous.
"Woof …" Atsu's bark was a little low, and there was some hesitation in it. It was more like a question.
At this moment, a black figure suddenly swept across the sky. It was the thick and abnormally agile tail of Oxen. Immediately, all the beasts on the Dog Head Mountain became excited. Lions and tigers raised their heads, and celestial birds spread their wings. All of them widened their eyes and stared at the top of the mountain.
After a while, the tail gently fell and stroked the soft fur on the back of the black dog in front of Oxen. It patted it and then retracted it.
Oxen opened and closed its eyes, and then yawned.
All the beasts on the mountain were dumbfounded.
Atsu was stunned for a while, then suddenly jumped up and ran to the top of the mountain. It shook its body fiercely at all the beasts on the bottom of the Dog Head Mountain, and then cried out in joy, "Woof woof woof woof! Woof woof! Woof … "
Everyone on the top of the mountain was silent.
Only the mountain breeze blew past, and the black dog stood on the top of the mountain, looking particularly awe-inspiring.
… …
At noon, Lu Chen found an excuse to go down the mountain and went to Kunwu City.
Passing through the bustling long street, he seemed to turn a blind eye to the liveliness around him and went straight to the city wall. However, this day, he didn't directly enter the city wall. Instead, he circled the street outside the alley twice and waited for another hour before he entered the alley and arrived at the Black Hill Pavilion that was completely deserted.
The fat Old Ma was lying on his beloved recliner drowsily. When he heard footsteps, he jumped up and said without opening his eyes, "Sir, look around. Our store has a lot of spiritual materials, and the price is cheap … Oh, it's you."
Lu Chen looked at him and said with a sneer, "It's me. Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"
Old Ma let out a big yawn and sighed, "I thought there was finally business coming to my door!"
Lu Chen spat and said, "Dream on! Since this store opened, how many business deals have you made? Tell me."
Old Ma coughed and said with a stern expression, "Let's not talk about the past. We have to look forward. Besides, what's wrong with dreaming? What if it succeeds? "
Lu Chen stretched out a finger and gestured at him. Then, his expression slightly darkened. He stared at Old Ma and said, "Tell me clearly, why did you suddenly drag that little girl, Yi Xin, into this?"
Old Ma shrugged and said, "I have something urgent to talk to you about, but you just don't go down the mountain recently. Isn't there no other way?"
Lu Chen said without any trace of politeness, "Nonsense! You are so well-informed and have so many connections. You can investigate whoever you want in the Kunlun Party. There are at least dozens of spies in the mountain. Who did you call to tell me that I can't do it? Why did you have to drag an innocent girl into this? "
Old Ma looked at Lu Chen and said with a smile, "What's wrong? I've never seen you so concerned about others."
Lu Chen snorted and said, "Don't provoke me. We've been playing these things for a long time. I'm just telling you that Yi Xin has nothing to do with this matter. Don't … "
"Don't drag her into this?" Old Ma looked at him and said indifferently, "Is that what you mean?"
Lu Chen seemed to have thought of something. He frowned and said nothing.
Old Ma then smiled and said, "Those spies you mentioned are the same as you. If there is any danger, they will also put their lives in my hands. So, if I have to choose someone, of course I will protect my people. "
"That girl from the Yi family was doomed from the day she met you. Why are you pretending to be stupid? Are you addicted to being Brother Lu in front of her? Do you really think you are a good person who can protect her for a lifetime? "
Lu Chen suddenly raised his head and looked at Old Ma with cold eyes.
However, Old Ma did not dodge. He just looked at him coldly.
The atmosphere in the shop was icy cold.
After some time, Lu Chen suddenly said, "You would never talk to me like this normally. What happened?"
The fat on Old Ma's face trembled. It seemed as if he was suddenly annoyed. He said angrily, "Nonsense! I've always been this straightforward!"
Lu Chen did not look at him anymore. He turned to look around the shop and muttered, "There doesn't seem to be any assassins lying in ambush. Maybe they are hiding outside?" After pausing for a moment, he suddenly took a step in front of Old Ma and stretched out his hand to grab the fat on his face.
Old Ma cried out and struggled free. "What are you doing?" he asked angrily.
"I am checking to see if you have been forced to eat poison to harm me."
"Bah! Bah!" Old Ma's spittle almost landed on Lu Chen's face. "Go to hell! You are the one who ate poison, the kind that rots your heart, lungs, and intestines."
Lu Chen clapped his hands and looked at Old Ma with contempt. "Remember to wash your face more next time. I can't stand a fat man with oily face."
Old Ma kicked, but Lu Chen easily dodged it.
Old Ma cursed and pointed to the back hall. "Let's go there," he said grumpily.
"Why?"
"He wants to see you."
Lu Chen suddenly fell silent and looked at Old Ma. The anger on Old Ma's face disappeared at that moment. He looked at Lu Chen with concern. After a while, he sighed and said, "Go."
Lu Chen nodded and walked towards the courtyard at the back of the hall. After taking two steps, Old Ma suddenly said, "Oh right, you should tell that Miss Yi yourself when you get back."
Lu Chen stopped and did not look back. "What is it?"
Old Ma said indifferently, "The girl is young and naive. She trusts others too easily. I only said a few words and she believed me. She didn't even think to ask me how I knew about your relationship with her."
Lu Chen was silent. After a while, he slowly shook his head. He did not say anything and walked to the back hall.
After passing through the long and narrow alley, he saw the familiar square courtyard. However, unlike before, this time, Lu Chen saw the figure of that person at first glance.
When that abnormally fat and broad figure sat in the small courtyard, it even gave off the illusion that the courtyard was almost filled to the brim.
His loose robe, sitting cross-legged, and shiny bald head all spoke of this person's identity.
A bird flew over the courtyard by chance. It seemed to be tired or curious. It slowly fluttered its wings and landed on his bald head. It did not seem to feel any hostility, but it also seemed to feel that it was only a stone under its feet.
Perfected Lord Tianlan looked ahead and smiled. He waved at Lu Chen and said gently, "You're here. Come and sit."
