When night fell, it was quiet both inside and outside the bedroom. The window opposite the bed was half open, and a faint beam of starlight shone in from outside, falling into the dark room.
Lu Chen and the Black Dog lay down, but they were not asleep yet.
Because Atsu was growing bigger and bigger, a normal bed could no longer accommodate it to sleep with Lu Chen. Therefore, Atsu had been sleeping on the ground these days. But even on the ground, Atsu slept close to the bed. Its huge body was already higher than the edge of the bed, so Lu Chen could easily touch its body and head if he stretched out his hand.
Now, Lu Chen gently placed one hand on Atsu's back, lying on his side. After a long silence in the dark, he suddenly said, "Atsu, it seems that the message that your Sirius dad asked me to pass on is not going to be easy."
Atsu raised its head, and its huge head immediately went over the edge of the bed. Its two bright and deep eyes glanced at Lu Chen. Deep in the depths of its eyes was the faint green light that would appear whenever it was in the dark.
To be honest, the current Ah-Tu, no matter how one looked at it, was no longer the pathetic and weak mutt of the past. Its body was abnormally tall and strong, its fangs were as sharp as knives, and the claws on its four limbs could even cut through iron. When its head appeared beside the bed, it looked more like an extremely terrifying monster, making people feel a kind of soul-stirring fear.
However, of course, Lu Chen was not afraid of Atsu. He kept patting Atsu's head with his hand, and the Atsu, which seemed to be much stronger than this human, was also very close to Lu Chen. It seemed to enjoy his touch, rubbing its head against his palm from time to time, and occasionally sticking out its tongue to lick him.
Unlike Atsu's dad in the Great Snow Mountain, Lu Chen could not speak the human language even though Atsu looked very strong and fierce. Therefore, most of the time, Lu Chen could only talk to himself. But it seemed that he was already used to it.
Therefore, after a while, Lu Chen continued talking to himself. He did not wait for Atsu's reply or any other reaction. He said, "That old man Tie Hu's status is too high. It's really difficult for us to meet him. If we go to him honestly, we'll definitely be thrown out. But if we use the identity of the dead baldie to meet him, of course, we can't do that either. There'll be too many troubles in the future."
Atsu's head shrank a little, and then it lay down on its two front legs. With the help of the faint starlight, the black dog's expression did not change at all, as if what Lu Chen said had nothing to do with it, or the task that its father Sirius had instructed it to do in the past had nothing to do with it.
Lu Chen also saw Atsu's reaction, and he could not help but laugh. He scolded, and then said with a smile, "You, this is something that your old man has instructed you to do, why don't you care at all?"
Atsu yawned lazily, as if it was too lazy to even bark.
Lu Chen did not care about it. After a moment of silence, he said slowly, "Actually, there's another layer of trouble in this matter. Perhaps it's even more troublesome than the previous two problems." He glanced at Atsu, lowered his voice, and said, "Your father Sirius asked me to pass on a message, to ask that old man Tie Hu to return the leaf that he borrowed years ago. I've thought about this sentence many times, and I've always felt that it's not quite right. "
"Tie Hu is a Deity Transformation Stage True Monarch, and Sirius is an ancient species, one of the most powerful and terrifying giant beasts in the world. So, what kind of 'leaf' was it that was worth them making a deal?"
"And after so many years, Sirius still refused to give up, and even sent people to pursue it?"
Lu Chen sighed, and said to Atsu, "Why do I have a feeling that maybe it wasn't just 'borrowing' that year?"
Atsu let out a low cry, and for a moment, no one knew what it meant. Lu Chen stroked its head, thought for a moment, and said, "If that thing is really that important, or if that old man Tie Hu has a bad heart and doesn't want to return it, do you think he'll directly slap me to death if I go up to him?"
Atsu ignored him, and looked a little sleepy, as if it was about to fall asleep.
Lu Chen glanced at it, shook his head, and scolded jokingly. He turned over and lay flat on the bed. After a moment of silence, he muttered to himself, "Forget it, let's put this matter off for now, and see if there's a suitable opportunity in the future. Anyway, Sirius didn't give me any deadline."
He closed his eyes, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he was about to fall asleep. But after a while, he softly muttered to himself, "Leaf? In this world, there's a leaf that can attract the attention of a Deity Transformation Stage True Monarch? Perhaps … there's only one. "
His voice gradually faded, and gradually disappeared into the darkness.
…
He didn't know if it was because Lu Chen had pissed her off that day, but White Lotus hadn't come looking for him for the past few days. Although Lu Chen couldn't ask for more, he was still a little surprised, because according to his understanding of White Lotus, she should not be such an irritable and impulsive person.
However, without White Lotus, it was certainly more convenient for Lu Chen and Old Ma to act, even if White Lotus was now a trusted follower of Supreme Tianlan. However, neither Lu Chen nor Old Ma really or openly discussed this matter, but they had always ignored or disapproved of the rumor that Supreme Tianlan would accept White Lotus as his personal disciple.
Today, they were going out again. As usual, Lu Chen went to the warehouse, grabbed a large piece of demon beast meat, and threw it to Atsu. Atsu happily picked it up, ran to the grass, and gnawed on it. Then Lu Chen and Old Ma left.
Before going out, Lu Chen looked back and saw that Atsu was lying in the grass eating meat happily as usual. Logically speaking, after it finished eating this piece of superior demon beast meat, it should go back to its room to sleep.
Lu Chen closed the door with a smile, and then walked forward with Old Ma. Today was the day they went to find the new person on the list. Behind them, the house was getting farther and farther away.
In the small courtyard of the house, it was very quiet inside and outside. The only sound was probably the harsh sound of meat chewing in this quiet atmosphere.
Atsu obviously didn't feel anything about the atmosphere or the scenery. It just wanted to eat the delicious meat in front of its mouth.
After an unknown period of time, a figure suddenly landed lightly from mid-air and stood in the courtyard.
Atsu stood up almost immediately and let out a low roar. The hair on its back stood up, and its fierce and terrifying posture was like that of a ferocious demon beast, causing people to be intimidated.
However, after a moment, the roar suddenly stopped. Atsu tilted its head and looked at the figure in front of it. A trace of surprise appeared in its eyes.
It was a young girl dressed in white. Her appearance was exceptionally beautiful. It was White Lotus. She walked forward, looked at Atsu, smiled, and even waved her hand, saying to Atsu: "Long time no see, Atsu."
Of course, it was impossible for Atsu and this girl to not have seen each other for a long time. At the very least, they had met outside the Immortal City. However, although Atsu was now fierce and terrifying, and was much taller than White Lotus when standing up, it still had some fear towards White Lotus.
It stood up and let out a low roar. Its pair of huge eyes stared straight at White Lotus, as if it didn't dare to relax at all.
On the contrary, White Lotus looked much more relaxed. She first looked around, then nodded and said, "It's a good place to live." She then looked at the piece of demon beast meat in front of Atsu and frowned slightly. Then, she smiled and said, "Eating so well, Lu Chen really cares about you."
Atsu didn't have any reaction. White Lotus just looked at Atsu and suddenly extended a hand to wave at it. Then, she smiled warmly and said, "Atsu, come here. I'll take you to a very fun place."
