Xu Sili leaned against the window and looked down at the landscape below.
Unlike the terrain in the direction of Lanyue City, there were no mountains or rivers blocking the road in the direction of Glaze City. There were only endless plains.
Because of the arrival of winter, the vegetation had begun to decline. The plains were filled with orange, yellow, and brown colors. It was as if a color palette had been knocked over. Looking down from the sky, it was quite shocking.
However, the unobstructed terrain was not without danger for humans. Groups of galactic beasts on the plains still caused a lot of trouble for the army clearing the road.
Xu Sili looked at the tall and fierce galactic beasts and frowned slightly.
Of course, he could ask Si Sheng to eliminate these beasts. He even felt that with Si Sheng's strength, it was possible for him to clean up the entire planet.
However, he did not forget that this was not an ordinary alternate world, but a game.
He could speed up the leveling of the main city and give the players missions to promote the game's progress, but he could not do all the work that the game team assigned to the players.
That would be too eye-catching.
What if the game team realized that Si Sheng was too overpowered and changed his data? The game was still in the testing stage. Anything could happen. He did not want to take the risk.
Fortunately, the players would soon arrive in large numbers. Soon, he would have an army of 6,000 players.
This undying army of Elementalists would become the sharpest sword in his hand. He hoped to at least clear the road to Lanyue and Glaze City before the open beta began.
"One day, I will also go to the front lines and lead the army to chase away those damn galactic beasts and take back all the territory we lost!"
The girl's bold words were still in his ears. Xu Sili pursed his lips.
He rarely thought about the trial world, but those who had passed away always appeared in his mind from time to time.
Sirene's dream … one day, he would help her realize it. Also, the late emperor and the Senos …
"Your Majesty Roland."
A cold voice suddenly sounded in his ears, interrupting his train of thought.
Xu Sili glanced sideways.
At some point in time, a man had appeared beside him. He had short, silver-gray hair, and coral red earrings dangled from his ears. They swayed gently in the air and were particularly eye-catching.
It was Cha Mo.
Retracting the sadness in his eyes, Xu Sili leaned back and supported his face with one hand. He asked lazily, "What's wrong?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty Roland, for agreeing to let me take the shuttle."
Cha Mo said respectfully.
Xu Sili had snuck out and bumped into Cha Mo on the way. He wanted to go to Glazed Sea City with them. In order to prevent him from leaking the secret, Xu Sili had no choice but to bring him along.
He could tell that Cha Mo was afraid of Si Sheng, so Xu Sili was quite surprised when he made the request.
"Why are you going to Glazed Sea City? Aren't you worried about Little Ash? "
Cha Mo cared a lot about Ah Sheng.
Hearing this, the man smiled. "Ah Sheng is very safe in the palace. Princess Qiong will take care of her."
However, he avoided the topic of why he was going to Glazed Sea City.
Xu Sili shrugged. Cha Mo's original form was an ancient beast that had lived for god knows how long. He still had the basic respect for the elderly.
Then, he raised his eyebrows. "Then you didn't come to find me just to thank me, right?"
Cha Mo paused. He looked at Xu Sili with a hesitant expression.
Silver wolves were a race that kept their promises.
He had made a deal with the human in front of him. Although he didn't promise to keep the details of the deal a secret, revealing the deal under the pressure of that lord … was against the rules of the silver wolves.
Perhaps there was a need to let him know.
Xu Sili saw that Cha Mo wanted to say something but stopped. He couldn't help but be interested.
Cha Mo had a cold personality and had the arrogance of an ancient race. He lived in the palace and rarely went out, so they hadn't met much. However, it was said that he got along well with Xiao Qiong. Only Niya had suffered a lot because of him.
"If you have something to say, just say it," Xu Sili said.
Cha Mo opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, an extremely dangerous feeling crept up his spine, causing all the hair on his body to stand on end.
Cold sweat rolled down his forehead and down his cheeks.
He turned around stiffly and saw that the blond man with an indifferent expression had appeared at the door. Although he was expressionless, his alarm bells rang.
Xu Sili looked at him, then looked at Si Sheng and raised his eyebrows.
Could it be that the two of them were hiding something from him?
"Lord."
Cha Mo bowed stiffly and respectfully to Si Sheng. His attitude was much more proper than when he was with Xu Sili.
Beside him, Xu Sili could see that his body was slightly trembling. Under his gaze, two furry pointy ears popped out from the top of his head.
He couldn't help but blink. He had never expected that the cold and cool guy would turn into a cowardly and cute guy.
Did Si Sheng do something to make Cha Mo so afraid?
Because they were so close, Cha Mo's silver-grey pointy ears were almost right in front of his eyes. It was as if he could reach out and touch them. Xu Sili felt his hand itch.
Are these ears real?
However, before he could reach out and touch them, Si Sheng had already appeared in front of him and gently held his hand. Xu Sili could only suppress his thoughts.
"Are you done with the matter?"
"Yes." Si Sheng sat down beside him and looked at Cha Mo. "Why did he look for you?"
Cha Mo had already moved to the side. When he heard this, he couldn't help but tremble. The ears on his head that had just been retracted ran out again.
"Cha Mo seems to have something to tell me." Xu Sili said calmly.
"Oh?" Si Sheng raised his eyebrows and looked at the man indifferently. He whispered, "What's the matter?"
When Cha Mo met his cold and indifferent eyes, he almost exploded. He bit his lower lip and thought for a while. "It's about Jiu Yue."
Xu Sili couldn't help but look at him.
He already knew that Jiu Yue was the Shadow Leopard's real name and would rarely mention it to outsiders.
He had previously felt that the Shadow Leopard seemed to know Cha Mo. Now it seemed that the two people, no, the two ancient beasts were old acquaintances.
Seeing that Si Sheng didn't speak, Xu Sili helped him ask, "Do you know Jiu Yue?"
Cha Mo glanced at Si Sheng and nodded. "Yes."
After he confirmed it, he didn't say anything else. Xu Sili could only ask, "Then you're looking for him?"
Cha Mo slowly retracted the ears on his head and deliberated. "Jiu Yue seems to have become Si Sheng's contract beast?"
"Yes."
Xu Sili said, "What's your relationship with Jiu Yue? I feel like he doesn't like you very much. "
Cha Mo paused and tilted his head. He seemed to think carefully before saying, "Strictly speaking, it should be similar to my relationship with Ah Sheng."
"It's just that …"
He added, "Something unpleasant happened between us, and we haven't seen each other for a long time."
At this time, Xu Sili couldn't help but be stunned.
Similar to his relationship with Ah Sheng?
He asked, "So, you raised Jiu Yue too?"
Cha Mo nodded. "When we met, it happened to be Jiu Yue, so I gave him this name."
Huh? Even his name was given by Cha Mo?
Although in the data of "Game of Gods", he was the one who gave the name Jiu Yue, it was obvious that the game team had perfected the background of the shadow leopard.
Xu Sili felt like he had heard a big piece of gossip. He looked at Cha Mo and his eyes moved slightly. "You're a silver wolf, and he's a shadow leopard. You're from different races, so why …"
At this time, Cha Mo had already regained his composure.
He smiled and explained to him, "Before the catastrophe happened a hundred years ago, the number of ancient beasts was very small. Because of my personal hobby, I would help a group of familiar races."
Personal hobby …
Xu Sili couldn't help but look at him a few more times. "Your hobby is quite unique."
Cha Mo smiled slightly, revealing a row of silver-white teeth.
"Jiu Yue was also very …"
"Shut the hell up!"
A black shadow blade was released without warning, directly slashing towards Cha Mo. However, before it could touch Cha Mo, the shadow blade disappeared.
The shadow leopard jumped out of the contract space and stood firmly on the ground. The shadow blade that was just thrown out appeared above its head, directly smashing towards its head.
The shadow leopard cried out in pain and lay on the ground.
Although the dark element couldn't hurt it, the shadow blade that was accelerated by the space still hurt when it hit its head.
Cha Mo looked at it and said with a smile, "Jiu Yue is still so cute."
The shadow leopard was flustered and exasperated. Its pair of green eyes stared at him as if it had a deep hatred for him.
Xu Sili looked at this scene with great interest.
However, what surprised him was that the shadow leopard didn't continue to attack Cha Mo. Instead, it turned around and kowtowed to Si Sheng. "Master, I'm sorry. I accidentally ran out again …"
Jiu Yue spoke in a trembling voice. It was obvious that Si Sheng had been accumulating power for a long time.
It had rushed out because it had sensed Cha Mo just now. It had always felt that something was wrong in the palace. It didn't expect that Cha Mo's main consciousness had awakened!
Si Sheng glanced at it, then looked at Cha Mo.
"You hit my contract beast."
The man's tone was very calm, but it made Cha Mo's smile disappear instantly.
Although he was just defending, in front of Si Sheng, who was so powerful that it made him tremble, he didn't dare to say anything.
"It was a slip of the hand, please forgive me."
He said carefully.
Si Sheng looked at him coldly, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes, as if he was considering how to deal with him. That gaze made Cha Mo's heart jump.
Finally, Si Sheng retracted his gaze and looked at the shadow leopard. "Jiu Yue, what do you think?"
The shadow leopard was a little confused when the ball was suddenly kicked. Because of the contract, it could vaguely sense its master's emotions. At this moment, it couldn't help but tremble.
Master wanted to kill Cha Mo!
Although it didn't know why, it felt that it was definitely not the reason.
But to kill Cha Mo …
Jiu Yue looked at the man with the short silver hair and felt sullen, but still said softly, "Master, I'm fine …"
Cha Mo couldn't help but look at it.
The shadow leopard rolled its eyes, then lay down and obediently waited for Si Sheng's decision.
Si Sheng pursed his lips and was silent for a moment. While Cha Mo and Jiu Yue were trembling with fear, he said, "If that's the case, take him out."
In other words, he didn't want Cha Mo to appear in front of him again.
The shadow leopard understood immediately. It looked at Cha Mo, then at the door. With its beast form, it wouldn't be able to squeeze through the door even if it broke it.
It was a little irritated as it scratched its paws. Under Xu Sili's curious gaze and Si Sheng's indifferent gaze, it transformed into a lean and tall black-haired youth.
Xu Sili sized up Jiu Yue. This was the first time he saw the shadow leopard in its human form.
The youth's body proportions were very good. He was about the same height as Xu Sili. He was dressed in black, and under the close-fitting clothes wrapped around his arms, one could faintly see the smooth and elegant lines of his muscles. He gave off a very strong feeling.
His facial features were also sharp and handsome, and he looked to be in his early twenties.
"Master, then I'll take him out."
The youth respectfully bowed and performed a not very standard etiquette. Then, he pulled Cha Mo's arm and pulled him out.
Cha Mo still wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth. If one looked closely, they would see that his mouth was sealed by a shadow.
Seeing Jiu Yue drag Cha Mo out of the room and close the door after them, Xu Sili couldn't help but look at Si Sheng.
Si Sheng didn't look at him. He only played with his hand and said softly, "Ali, are you bored of waiting alone?"
Xu Sili rubbed his chin with his other hand and stared at him.
"Are you hiding something from me?"
He observed Si Sheng's expression. He saw that his eyes flickered slightly, and then he looked at him with a smile. Xu Sili didn't wait for him to speak and stopped him.
"If you don't want to tell me, then I won't force you."
After all, everyone had secrets. Even he had something that he didn't want to tell Si Sheng.
"Tell me when you want to tell me."
Xu Sili looked at him and smiled. "Anyway, we still have many tomorrows. There's still a long way to go."
Si Sheng listened to his considerate words and looked at the youth's beautiful purple eyes. The smile on his face slowly faded, and his eyes gradually deepened.
Xu Sili blinked. When he saw Si Sheng move closer, he carefully kissed the corner of his lips.
Si Sheng looked at the man's deep eyes like a predator staring at its prey. He felt his heart skip a beat. Then, the man moved closer to his ear and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"I want to f * ck you right now."
Xu Sili: "…"
He didn't mean that f * ck!
Xu Sili was silent for a moment. He was worried that Si Sheng would act rashly now, so he could only coax him. "Be good. We'll talk about it when we reach Glazed Sea City."
He tilted his head and kissed the man on the cheek.
Si Sheng didn't really take action. He opened his arms and hugged the youth. He knew that the youth was afraid of the cold, so he controlled the fire elements around them to maintain a comfortable temperature in the room.
"Do you want to take a nap?"
In the past month, he had already gotten used to the youth's sleepiness a few hours after he woke up.
Xu Sili wasn't sleepy, but he liked to lean in Si Sheng's arms. He adjusted his posture and said, "I'll read for a while."
Then, he couldn't help but chide him. "I told you not to use honorifics when there's no one else around."
"I'm used to it."
"Then you should change it."
Si Sheng smiled. "Okay."
Xu Sili nestled in his arms and pretended to take out a book. In fact, his mind wasn't on the book at all. He was looking at the Future Forum.
After posting that large-scale picture last time, he pretended to be dead for a week. Now, he finally remembered to take a look.
He opened the post and jumped to the last page. The page was full of replies that were posted a second ago. It was obvious how popular this post was.
Xu Sili finally understood what these people wanted to see, but when he saw the comments, he couldn't help but blush.
[Ahhhh, Madam Goddess! Is this really something I can see for free?]
[Si Sheng, I'm so impressed!]
[F * ck, you didn't show anything. Why are you so horny? Madam is so amazing!]
[This really happened, didn't it?]
As for the picture that caused the post to explode again …
The background of the picture was still a gorgeous bedroom.
A neatly dressed man in a military uniform sat on the edge of the bed. His head was slightly tilted, revealing only his broad back and shoulders and well-defined side profile.
A youth with long silver hair was in his arms. His thin and pale fingers were wrapped around his arm. Only his slightly red and round fingertips could be seen through the clothes.
The youth's chin rested on the man's shoulder, revealing half of his beautiful face.
His thick, light-colored eyelashes were slightly closed. Sparkling and translucent tears hung from the corners of his eyes. His cheeks were stained with two fanciful blushes.
He was wearing clothes, but the snow-white shirt didn't fit him. The loose folds revealed endless ambiguity.
[Madam, lower the camera a little. This baby doesn't lack this little bit of traffic!]
[Navel orange navel orange navel orange. Ahhhh, I'm numb from seeing this picture. Am I worthy of seeing this?]
[Snow is so good-looking. I really want to bully him. Si Sheng is so cool!]
Xu Sili couldn't help but facepalm. A bunch of LSP!
But seeing the rising popularity, he felt very satisfied. At least his sacrifice wasn't in vain.
He glanced at the picture of himself and Si Sheng again and quickly closed the post to calm the shame and awkwardness in his heart.
He didn't show anything anyway!
"Ah Li?" The man's voice sounded beside her ear, carrying a bit of scorching breath.
Xu Sili couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"It's nothing. There's a plot in this book that's quite annoying."
After saying that, he pretended to read the book again. In fact, he continued to browse the forum posts, looking for useful information.
Si Sheng glanced at the textbook called "Elemental Foundations" and didn't expose him. He just silently accompanied him, occasionally pouring tea and feeding him snacks.
The boring journey became relaxed and joyful because of each other's company.
Glass Sea City was relatively close to the imperial city. The military shuttle only took a day and a half to reach the sky above Glass Sea City. After the guards opened the barrier, it slowly landed on the ground.
Glass Sea City's construction team was taken away by the consul. The others got off the shuttle to rest and experience the local customs. They would set off the next day.
After Si Sheng arranged everything, Xu Sili quietly got off the shuttle.
Glass Sea City was a city by the sea. Different from the other four main cities, Glass Sea City mainly faced the threat of interstellar beasts, not from land, but from the sea.
Before the natural disaster, Glass Sea City's residents had been fishing for a living. After the natural disaster, the sea was taken over by the terrifying interstellar beasts.
Without a source of food, Glass Sea City could only learn how to grow crops like the inland.
However, Glass Sea City's terrain wasn't suitable for growing crops. The food they grew was barely enough to make a living, not even enough to fill their stomachs.
Because it was the furthest from the northwest, Glass Sea City was the city least affected by the beast tide three years ago. Now, the biggest problem it faced was the food crisis.
Walking on the road, Xu Sili could see that most of Glass Sea City's residents were sallow and emaciated. Although it wasn't to the extent of starvation, it was obvious that very few people had enough to eat, let alone gain weight.
"Hey, when do you think the heroes will come back?" He heard some residents talking.
"I miss Lord One Joy's Dark Valley …"
"If I knew he would be gone for so long, I would've exchanged more with him."
"Stop talking, the more I talk, the hungrier I get …"
Xu Sili thought about it and roughly understood the relationship between Glass Sea City's residents and the players.
Previously, he had placed a lot of food in the faction storage for the players of other main cities to exchange for. It was a disguised form of helping him transport food. Originally, he had intended to give more food to Orchid City, but now it seemed that Glass Sea City needed it the most.
Fortunately, he had done his research early on, so the Elementalists he sent to the various main cities were mostly Wood Elementalists. Wood Elementalists could build houses and produce crops, so they were the most cost-effective.
Apart from the improved Dark Valley, there were also a few other types of crop seeds.
Because of the food crisis, Glass Sea City's farming industry wasn't developed. Apart from taking risks to capture interstellar beasts, there was a lack of necessary meat.
He believed that once these Elementalists were in place, the food production would increase, and this problem would be solved.
Xu Sili and Si Sheng strolled around Glass Sea City. The architectural style here was clearly different from the imperial city, and the modern technology was much less compared to the imperial city.
The bright colors, classical yet lively elements, added a touch of romance to the city.
It was as if one could feel the people's yearning and passion for life through these buildings.
This was a city that Xu Sili had fallen in love with at first sight.
As he walked through it personally, he discovered many problems that he had never thought of before. This was probably why he had personally made this trip.
At night, he and Si Sheng built a bonfire on the beach. Then, he watched as Si Sheng went to the sea to catch a fish and roasted it over the bonfire.
The sea breeze was strong at night, but with Si Sheng, an Elementalist with them, this little bit of wind didn't affect them at all.
This fish was more than a meter long.
He didn't know what kind of fish it was, but it was more like a sea beast. The meat was very delicious, and with just a little bit of spice, it was so delicious that he almost swallowed his tongue.
However, Xu Sili couldn't eat that much, so when Si Sheng finished eating, he gave the rest to the nearby residents.
Seeing their grateful and joyful expressions, Xu Sili felt a little upset.
However, he also knew that food had to be eaten one bite at a time. These things couldn't be rushed, but life would always get better.
Glazed Harbor City was very quiet at night. There were no lights, and it was almost completely dark.
The sun rose and set, and the sun rested at sunset.
This was probably the most energy-saving way to reduce emissions.
Xu Sili and Si Sheng took a walk in the quiet city before finally returning to the flying shuttle.
However, he never expected that Cha Mo, who had just gone out, would come back with a … doll?
The doll was about three or four years old. She had a head of soft blue curly hair, and her facial features were as beautiful as a doll's. Especially her pair of sea blue eyes, they seemed to be able to suck away a person's soul.
"What kind of ancient beast is this?"
Cha Mo didn't answer, so Xu Sili directly used Inspect.
[Sea Song]
Identity: NPC with special abilities
Bloodline: Sea Elf, also known as Mermaid
After reading two lines of words, Xu Sili was stunned. "Mermaid?"
