At daybreak, or rather, at daybreak, Lu Chen walked down from Sky Dragon Mountain and strolled on the streets of the Immortal City.
The strange and gloomy sea of blood phenomenon in the sky had already seriously affected the most bustling and largest city in the world. In the past, at this time, the Immortal City would have already started to bustle with people coming and going in an endless stream. But today, when Lu Chen walked on the streets, he found that the surroundings seemed a little cold and desolate.
There were only a few people coming out from the streets. Some people had left, and some people stayed but were unwilling to go out. Even those who walked out of their houses looked heavy and depressed. After all, the terrifying sea of blood above their heads didn't look like a scene of doomsday no matter how they looked at it. How could anyone be happy about it?
Lu Chen frowned slightly. He had thought of this scene before, but he did not expect it to be worse than what he had expected. Although the Blood Sea phenomenon was only a scenery floating in the sky and had never caused any substantial harm to the people in the Immortal City, the atmosphere was still unbearably oppressive.
He did not even need to go to Fuyunji to know that the daily reports there must be more and more people leaving.
At the far edge of the sky, about 20% of the sky was still bright. It was the original sky with a clear blue color and a few white clouds. There was also the sunlight from the sun that should have risen at this time, reflecting a faint golden light at the edge of the Blood Sea, telling people that this world was not originally like this.
What would the future be like? No one knew.
Lu Chen retracted his gaze and suddenly felt a little dispirited. He thought of White Lotus, whose whereabouts were unknown and whether she was alive or dead. He suddenly thought that perhaps leaving this city was also a good way to live.
When he sensed this thought, he was also stunned. Although he had thought of escaping this place before, after Supreme Lord Tian Lan came out and officially accepted him as a disciple, he announced to the world that he was going to hold a disciple acceptance ceremony and made it clear that this great foundation would be passed to him in the future. Lu Chen had long given up on this idea of escaping.
His thoughts were all in this intense and violent power struggle to gain a firm foothold and fight for everything. He had never considered this bitter. Perhaps he was born a commoner. For the sake of power, for the sake of power, for the sake of strength, he could give up everything.
He cursed that damned baldy all day long, but perhaps in the depths of his heart, what he yearned for the most was to become that kind of person.
But on this day, for some unknown reason, his will seemed to be slightly shaken.
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps … it was just an inexplicable melancholy on the morning of a new day.
Lu Chen laughed bitterly in his heart. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure walking over from the street in front of him. The other party also seemed to see him, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face as he stopped in his tracks.
It was Song Wenji.
On the street in the early morning, under the oppressive and gloomy sky, they met by chance on this cold and desolate street.
…
"Morning." Lu Chen was the first to speak. He nodded at Song Wenji politely but not politely, greeting her.
"En." Song Wenji also revealed a trace of a smile. In this oppressive and gloomy street, her appearance was still beautiful. Moreover, perhaps it was Lu Chen's misconception. Under her familiar charm, on this morning, Song Wenji's clear and bright eyes faintly carried a trace of strange innocence.
Like a playful child, longing for the beautiful scenery outside the house, secretly running out of the house early in the morning, breathing in the fresh air, running to her heart's content on the small path between the mountains. Her skirt fluttered, the cool breeze swept past her smiling face and hair, leaving behind a clear and melodious laughter like a wind chime.
That was an innocent child, that was a beautiful time.
Elegant like a bubble, bursting in an instant.
She stood under this terrifying dark red sky, still that enchanting seductress. She buried her innocence, changed her smile, walked over, and said with a smile, "Were you busy last night? Why are you here so early in the morning? Did you just come down from the mountain?"
"Yes." Lu Chen said smoothly, "Last night, my teacher came to talk to me about something, but it was delayed, so I just came down from the mountain. What about you? "
Song Wenji seemed to say it casually, "I also … Oh, I went to bed early last night. When I woke up in the morning, I was moved and wanted to go out for a walk."
She changed her words. Lu Chen noticed this. After glancing at Song Wenji, he thought that maybe she felt that it was not nice to say that. Lu Chen could stay with Perfected Lord Tianlan for a whole night to discuss things, but if she told others that she stayed with Perfected Lord Tiehu for a whole night, no matter what she said or did, there would probably be countless rumors immediately.
Even though the rumors had already spread like wildfire, it was still a rumor.
But no matter what, it seemed that this woman still wanted to maintain her mood and dignity this morning.
Lu Chen smiled and nodded, saying to Song Wenji, "You are the most comfortable. I have been busy all night and haven't eaten anything yet. How about this, have you eaten? I'll treat you to breakfast. "
"Breakfast?" Song Wenji looked at Lu Chen with some surprise. For successful cultivators like them, the normal need for food had actually been reduced to a negligible level. Most of the time, they only had a taste for ordinary people's food.
However, perhaps it was because Lu Chen's smile looked gentle, or because in the past few years, after the rumors about her and Perfected Lord Tiehu spread, no other man dared to invite her out like this.
Was it because he was the disciple of Perfected Lord Tianlan?
Her heart jumped a few times, then she suddenly revealed a smile. That little bit of pure joy was mixed with the beauty that could charm all living beings. She nodded heavily and said, "Okay!"
…
The Immortal City was a huge city with countless people. Although there were many cultivators, there were even more ordinary mortals living here. Because of Zhenxianmeng's strong maintenance of order, cultivators and mortals were like two completely different classes, living peacefully in this city.
To eat breakfast, of course, they had to go to a place where mortals lived.
Lu Chen led Song Wenji through a few streets, came to a street where mortals lived, and turned into a very lively alley. Then, in front of them, was an extraordinarily lively stall. Along the alley, there were at least a few hundred people, either standing or sitting, eating breakfast here, talking and laughing, as if the smoke of the mortal world was blowing in their faces.
"Let's do it here, what do you think?" Lu Chen smiled and turned back, saying to Song Wenji.
However, the moment he turned back and saw Song Wenji, he was suddenly startled. He saw Song Wenji standing beside him, staring blankly at the alley in front of her. Her eyes were deep, as if she saw something that stirred up her emotions. She actually stood there motionless, as if she did not hear Lu Chen's words at all.
Many years of time, at that moment, seemed to flow backward, gently flashing past her eyes. She had a happy and beautiful childhood. Holding that soft and warm hand, she ran here, pointed at the stall, and shouted with a smile, "Sister, let's eat there!"
"Miss Song?" Lu Chen's voice rang in her ears, awakening Song Wenji from her memories. Her body trembled slightly, and then she slightly lowered her head. After a moment, when she raised her head again, she revealed a smile, and said to Lu Chen softly, "Come, I know a very delicious stall here, I'll take you there."
