White Lotus put on a coat and sat by the window, staring blankly at the scenery outside the window.
Although it was called a scenery, it was actually just a sky with a few trees. Of course, there was a beautiful scenery on Sky Dragon Mountain, but it was not here. Generally speaking, the best places would be taken by the most powerful True Monarchs.
The house was very quiet, without a sound. Originally, there was a Black Dog lying outside the house. Even though there was a door between them, they could occasionally hear its movements. Perhaps it could even give people a sense of life. But now that Atsu had been taken away by Lu Chen, the house was completely deserted.
White Lotus held her chin with her hand, and her eyes seemed to be a little blank. Perhaps it was because she was too lonely in this lonely and deserted environment, so there was even a little emptiness in her eyes. No one knew what she was thinking at the moment. Was she recalling the past, thinking about some doubts, or simply sitting there in a daze?
After an unknown amount of time, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside the house, approaching the door from afar. After a while, someone knocked on the door. It was Old Ma's voice. "White Lotus, are you in the house?"
White Lotus slowly turned her head and glanced at the door. After a while, she said, "The door is not locked. Come in by yourself."
There was a moment of silence outside the door, and then there was a creak. Old Ma pushed the door open and walked in. The tall Black Dog followed him into the house.
Old Ma swept a glance around the room before his gaze finally fell on Bai Lian, who was sitting by the window. A smile appeared on his face as he asked, "Why are you sitting up? Hmm, is your body feeling better?"
White Lotus smiled, but her eyes fell on Atsu, who was standing next to Old Ma. Unlike Old Ma, who was looking around when he came in, Atsu stared at White Lotus as soon as he came in.
The eyes of a person and a dog met in mid-air. After a moment, White Lotus looked away and said to Old Ma, "I'm fine, and I've been lying down for a long time. I want to sit up."
"Well," Old Ma didn't think much of it. He walked over and moved a chair to sit down. "Lu Chen is busy, but he still remembers you, so he asked me to come over and see if you are better. If there is anything you need my help with, just tell me. "
White Lotus shook her head and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine."
Old Ma moved his fat body on the chair and asked curiously, "How did you get hurt? Why did you suddenly cause such a big trouble? Can you tell me?"
White Lotus glanced at him and asked, "Didn't Lu Chen tell you?"
Old Ma was stunned for a moment and said, "No."
White Lotus said, "It seems that he doesn't keep everything from you." After a pause, she looked at Old Ma, whose face was a little gloomy, and said lightly, "Actually, I don't know. I only remember that I followed Lu Chen to the underground city, and then I lost consciousness. I can't remember what happened after that, but when I woke up, I was probably here. "
"Oh." Old Ma didn't say anything more. Or perhaps he wasn't particularly familiar with this girl, so he didn't have anything to say. After dawdling for a while, the atmosphere became a little awkward, so Old Ma quickly found an excuse to get up and leave.
However, just as he was about to leave the room, he suddenly stopped in his tracks as if he had something to say. White Lotus felt his movement and looked over.
Old Ma hesitated for a moment and said to White Lotus, "Lu Chen isn't a bad person, at least he's a good friend. He's done everything he can for you. Don't blame him."
White Lotus stared at him for a moment, and her expression gradually eased. She nodded and said, "I know."
Old Ma chuckled and turned to leave. Suddenly, he heard White Lotus say, "Actually, you're also a good friend. Does Lu Chen know that?"
Old Ma paused for a moment, but he didn't look back. Then, he walked out of the door and left.
Atsu followed him and left. When he left, he looked back and stared at White Lotus fiercely and vigilantly. It seemed that the relationship between this black dog and this girl was always inexplicably tense.
…
Old Ma and Atsu left after the somewhat routine greeting, and the room quickly returned to its original cold and cheerless state. White Lotus walked over and closed the door. After thinking for a moment, she locked it.
Just that when she silently turned around, preparing to walk back to the bed, her vision suddenly blurred, just behind her, in this cold and lonely room, a huge and tall figure suddenly appeared, like a mountain peak standing behind her, and then looked down at her from above.
It was a huge and burly bald man in a loose robe. Just by standing there quietly, he already looked like a god.
This room was surrounded by walls, and probably only connected to the outside world through the window and the door. But judging from the size of the door frame, it was impossible for this bald man to enter and exit freely, not to mention the smaller window.
How did he enter this room?
How did he manage to stand behind White Lotus without a sound?
At that moment, White Lotus felt goosebumps all over her body. Her face turned pale and her body began to tremble. It was as if she had subconsciously taken a step back, wanting to escape from this place …
But in her panic, this indifferent and emotionless True Lord Tianlan suddenly stretched out his hand.
His movements did not seem fast, as if he was calmly extending his hand to greet her. However, White Lotus's eyes were filled with despair. Her entire body seemed to be bound by an invisible force, trembling uncontrollably. She watched helplessly as the hand reached for her face, and then, as if it was teasing her, grabbed her chin, and lifted it up a little.
She seemed to have lost all the strength and courage to resist when facing True Lord Tianlan. Her whole body trembled, and her face was lifted high. There was even a look of fear in her eyes.
True Lord Tianlan looked at her with great interest. He stared at her for a while, thought for a moment, and then nodded.
"You seem to be very afraid?" He calmly asked White Lotus.
This sentence sounded very gentle and quiet, not like the cruelty of an old cat catching a mouse. But White Lotus seemed to be even more afraid. Her body trembled and she couldn't speak.
True Lord Tianlan didn't seem to care about this at all. His thick fingers caressed White Lotus' delicate and fair face as if he was touching a rare treasure. After a while, he suddenly smiled and said to her, "The method of 'Blood Food' originated from the Southern Border Barbarian witchcraft which had been passed down for a long time. Later on, those trash of the Devil Cult took it and slightly improved it. It looks like it can be used but in fact, there are a lot of hidden dangers in it. It looks scary and powerful but in fact, it's a broken thing that can't even be shown in public."
"You actually treat this thing as a treasure?" He said with a smile, looking at the girl in front of him like a wolf.
