Xiao Chen's hands paused for a moment.
"Wine? Dishes? "Senior John Doe didn't speak with his mind this time. Instead, he opened his mouth slowly!
However, it seemed that he hadn't spoken for a long time. His speech was a little choppy!
Xiao Chen also saw the appearance of this Senior John Doe.
He didn't look very old. He looked like he was in his fifties. He was a little round.
However, he had a very long beard. It was obvious that he hadn't taken care of it. It was very messy and dirty.
His eyebrows were also very long!
He looked quite familiar.
His eyes were very lively. Xiao Chen felt like he saw an endless starry sky with just a glance. It was very deep.
Xiao Chen didn't dare to look at him anymore. He looked away.
However, this Senior John Doe didn't look at him at all. Instead, he was looking at the wine and dishes in his hands.
"You …" After looking at him for a long time, Senior John Doe opened his mouth. He seemed to be a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, Xiao Chen understood immediately. He took the initiative to give the wine and dishes to him.
"Senior, if you don't mind, please drink with me!" Xiao Chen bowed and a wine cup appeared in his hand.
"Thank, thank you!" However, this Senior John Doe actually thanked him. Instantly, Xiao Chen felt flattered and said that he didn't dare to do so!
This Senior John Doe didn't stand on ceremony. He couldn't wait to pour a cup of wine and drink it directly.
Then, he closed his eyes slightly as if he was enjoying this wonderful taste.
"How many years has it been? I didn't expect that I could drink wine again. Hahaha. Now, even if I die, I have no regrets." Senior John Doe suddenly laughed wildly.
Then, he didn't use the wine cup anymore. He grabbed the wine pot and drank.
Xiao Chen looked at him silently and didn't say anything.
He could understand the state of this Senior John Doe now. He had been trapped here for countless years. He probably didn't have any edible food with him.
That was why he lost his composure when he saw the wine and dishes.
"Senior, take your time. I still have some here. I'll give them all to you." Xiao Chen smiled. Then, he took out all the wine in his Space Ring and gave it to him.
He was not a drunkard. He didn't feel it was a pity to give away the wine.
Instead, he felt some sympathy for this fellow. He couldn't imagine what kind of situation he had gone through to make such a powerful existence lose his composure when he saw the wine.
This Senior John Doe didn't accept all of it. He didn't continue after drinking a pot.
After tasting two mouthfuls of the food, he said indifferently, "Put the rest away. With your cultivation, you can live for at least eight to ten thousand years here. In the future, you'll have to eat and drink less of these things. Now that you've eaten and drunk all of them, you'll regret it."
Xiao Chen was stunned, but he didn't put them away. Instead, he said with a smile, "Instead of suffering every day, eating and drinking, it's better to eat and drink to my heart's content. After eating and drinking, I won't have any lingering thoughts. I'll just stop thinking about it!"
Senior John Doe glanced at Xiao Chen and said with a faint smile, "You're quite to my liking. It's a pity. Even if you give me all the wine and dishes, I can't take you out of this damn place. After so many years, I've used up all the things I can use. There's nothing left for you!"
Xiao Chen smiled as well. "Senior, please don't overthink it. You yourself can't leave this place and have been trapped here for so many years. I've never thought of using food and wine to curry favor with you, senior, so that I can get some benefits from you. If even you are trapped here, then even if I get a lot of benefits, it will be worthless if I can't leave this place! Moreover, to tell you the truth, I've obtained quite a lot along the way, and I don't lack good things!
I just sympathize with what you've encountered after being trapped here for countless years. If you think I'm trying to curry favor with you on purpose, then I won't say anything! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chen put away the wine and dishes.
Senior John Doe was stunned, and then he said with an astounded expression, "You … sympathize with me? A tiny Immortal King like you actually sympathize with me? Do you know that I can annihilate you 10,000 times with just a breath of air? Do I need your sympathy? "
"Senior, have you misunderstood something? You've said that you're trapped here and can't get out. So tell me, what's the point of me trying to curry favor with you? "Xiao Chen shook his head.
He really didn't have the slightest intention to curry favor with Senior John Doe when he took out the wine and dishes just now, and it was entirely out of sympathy for this fellow.
After all, there was no need to curry favor with Senior John Doe when he was trapped here and couldn't get out.
"As for sympathy? Yes, you've been trapped here for countless years. With such a formidable identity like yours, you even lost your composure when you saw the wine and dishes. Don't you deserve my sympathy? "said Xiao Chen!
Senior John Doe remained silent for a moment before he said, "Nevermind, you're right. It's useless no matter how much you try to curry favor with me here. I was thinking too much. Since it's like that, then take out the wine and dishes again. I really haven't eaten for many years."
Xiao Chen waved his hand, and the wine and dishes appeared once more.
Senior John Doe didn't hold back at all, and he directly started eating and enjoying himself.
After he ate and drank to his heart's content, this fellow nodded with satisfaction and said, "Even though I really can't give you too many benefits, you can't just eat and drink for free. With your cultivation, you'll be able to live for 1,000 years at most. Out of consideration for the wine and dishes you've given me, I'll help you live for a few more years."
"Senior, what do you mean by that? Why do you say that I can only live for so many years at most? "Xiao Chen's eyes flashed, full of confusion.
"Do you think the danger in this No Man's Land is only something you've encountered along the way? Let me tell you, the closer you get to the headless corpse, the greater the danger! In this area, whenever it rains, there will be a very strange power. This power will gradually erode your vitality, and you can't resist it at all, "said Senior John Doe calmly.
"You just said that you've seen a lot of old corpses along the way, and some of them had very strong cultivation, right? But why did they still die? With the strength of those dead guys, even if they've been trapped here for countless years without eating or drinking, it's impossible for them to die so easily, right? "
"The reason why they died was because they couldn't resist the power that eroded their vitality!"
"This …" Xiao Chen was speechless.
In fact, he really had some doubts just now. This Senior John Doe could survive here with such a strong cultivation, then other existences should also be able to survive. But the fact was that there was actually no one here except for this Senior John Doe.
Now that he heard this, he finally understood the reason.
