Chapter 611 Growth
When I woke up, I couldn't find the sound of autumn, but the full moonlit sky was filled with parasol trees.
In the elegant bamboo courtyard, there is only warmth in the room.
Lu Chen looked at the girl beside him. She had long dark red hair and fair skin. She was lying there quietly.
If there really is a creator in this world, then he must have created the girl next to him in such a poetic late autumn as a child, so he could create such a perfect masterpiece. Her flawless beauty is also uniquely poetic, just like Tushan. The falling flowers please.
The tears in the girl's beautiful eyes are like the last touch of God's embellishment, adding a touch of emotion to the end of the poem.
Her peaceful sleep is like a sculpture in an eternal miracle. Adventurers dare not speak loudly when they see her, let alone touch her, for fear that this beauty will become old when she wakes up.
But Lu Chen was the adventurer. He looked sideways at the girl and could smell the fragrance on her hair.
The girl's body exuded a blue dream-like radiance, and the demonic power surged out like a river, lighting up the night. The room was like an ocean of fantasy, with boundless pear blossoms rising and falling in the room, swaying to welcome the girl's return.
Sleeping Beauty opened her eyes, and in her eyes as clear as glass, the young man's face was reflected, and the soft corner of his mouth moved, which was the most moving knife in the world.
The young man couldn't help but hugged her, and kissed the girl gently.
The pear blossoms in the room are blooming like a dream, the Tushan bitter tree is full of fragrance, and even the sound of the wind seems to bring a hint of joy.
Only at this moment did Lu Chen understand that time would also make mistakes and accidents, and thus break apart, leaving eternal fragments in a certain room.
No, maybe that's just his wishful thinking, it's his hope that... this moment will last forever.
For a long time, the two separated. There was no long-lasting passionate kiss, no passionate words of love, everything was ordinary, and I felt a different kind of tranquility in my heart.
Only then did Lu Chen realize that he had always been a naive child and did not understand what real love was or what a real couple was.
What he thought was not what he thought.
He once thought he was strong, but looking back, he still felt heartbroken.
But suddenly the pain in his heart no longer felt so bad, and the wound was like a hole being filled by something warm.
His mood changed, as if everything had changed. He wanted to understand life and death, but in the end, he found that he didn't even understand himself, and he didn't even understand the word love.
His knife changed, and his intention changed, just like a real seed taking root and sprouting to blossom into a real flower.
It turns out that he has never gained anything in the fox demon world for more than 40 years. It is not that he is doing nothing, but he has gradually become confused over a long period of time.
The journey of life is like this. It takes a lot of time to be confused and a few moments to grow.
He and Eriki were sitting on the bedside, holding each other's waists with their hands on each other's waists. Both of them had smiles on their faces. Only today did they really understand each other.
Eriyi no longer thinks that Lu Chen is a naturally invincible martial god, and Lu Chen no longer thinks that Eriyi is a girl who must rely on his protection for everything.
"I said Eriyi, do you still think of those things?"
After a long time, Lu Chen spoke first and said teasingly.
A blush flashed across Eri's cheeks.
It was not what outsiders thought. Lu Chen saw some things in some of Eri Yi's dreams that seemed funny but were actually things he had neglected.
Not all dreams happen in the dragon world, there are also those in the Aika continent and the fox demon world.
Among them, Eriyi had a dream, dreaming that Lu Chen ran away with another girl and didn't want her anymore.
"Hmph"
Eriyi turned her head away to hide her shyness, her cheeks bulging.
"I didn't expect Eriyi to worry about this. Is it because I haven't cultivated my masculine virtues enough?"
Lu Chen smiled.
Eriki tilted her head, "There are beautiful ladies in every world, and they are very nice to you."
Lu Chen shook his head and asked, "Eli Yi, do you still remember that I took you to see the stars?"
Eryi didn't know why Lu Chen mentioned this, but she still nodded, "The starry sky at Mauna Kea is beautiful."
Mauna Kea is a dormant volcano with many observation stations located there. It is more than 4,000 meters above sea level and has a particularly dry climate all year round. Mauna Kea is an ideal place for stargazing and astronomical observation. The reason was that I took Eri to see it.
"Do you remember Eriyi? The day we went there was cloudy and we couldn't see many stars. We could only see the brightest star."
Lu Chen continued.
"We should have checked the weather forecast."
Eriki thought about it and said, "Fortunately, the academy didn't rush people. We saw it the next day and the stars were beautiful."
Lu Chen held Eri Yi's waist with one hand and held Eri Yi's right hand with the other hand. He looked into the other person's clear eyes and said, "The shining stars are much more beautiful than the shining of a single star."
Eriyi is no longer a child now. After all, she has lived in Tushan for so many years, so she naturally knows the connotation of Lu Chen's words. She instantly became nervous and her eyes were filled with mist.
Lu Chen panicked a little, and quickly added: "But for me, the star I see for the first time is the most beautiful."
Eriki's cheeks turned pink because her husband was so close to her, so close that she could see herself reflected in his eyes. Even though the two had been in a relationship for so long, they were still inexplicably bumping into each other.
She stuttered, "Why... why?"
Lu Chen paused for a moment, seeming to have some memories and emotions, but he did not sigh. He finally let go of some things, "Because I... have never looked up at the stars before."
Eriki's eyes were filled with mist, not because of her husband's confession of loyalty, but because she felt heartache when she recalled Lu Chen's past.
Yes, because his life was dark, he never saw the stars.
Lu Chen felt that Brother Caesar should explain more clearly at this time, but he was not such a naive person. After thinking about it, he still did not continue.
But he still said silently in his heart, it is you who light up my darkness, you are the first and brightest star.
…………
The next day, Lu Chen and Hui Liyi walked out of the courtyard and found several heads of Tushan and Cui Yuling waiting in the courtyard.
Looking at the weather outside, Lu Chen checked his longevity and found out how long he and Eriki had been sleeping.
For nearly a year, they all spent their time in a dream. You are in me, and I am in you.
"Ah - big brother, you're awake!"
At this time, there was another male voice. Lu Chen looked toward the courtyard door and saw that it was Dongfang Yue Yue whom he had not seen for a long time.
Now Dongfang Yue is fifteen years old. Putting aside the cockroach hair on his head, he is absolutely as beautiful as jade. He is dressed in a black and white Taoist robe, which makes him look a bit chic and immortal.
It was just as soon as he opened his mouth that his power was broken, just like in his memory, he rushed towards him with excitement on his face.
"Why are you in Tushan?"
Lu Chen knew what he was asking. In fact, before he fell asleep, Yaya had mentioned to him on the road that his "cockroach" brother was very mortal and always came to Tushan to pester her sister.
"I... I want to study the common points between magic and Taoism, so I came to Tushan to learn from it."
Dongfang Yue was very bold when he pursued Sister Yaoxian on weekdays, but at this time, in front of his eldest brother and Sister Yaya, he was somewhat swayed.
"Yiyi, are you okay?"
Hong Hong was distracted by Dongfang Yue Yue. After that, she quickly walked into her little sister to check her physical condition.
"I made my sisters worry, Yiyi is fine."
Eriki said apologetically that she knew that Tushan's sisters were probably worried about her being lost in the dream.
"Yiyi, are you really okay?"
Yaya came over and touched Eryi's body left and right, forgetting that she had no medical skills at all.
Rong Rong didn't show any excitement, she just smiled slightly and looked at Eri Yi, "It's okay, little sister."
In the end, Cuiyu Ling pulled Yaya away and felt Eliyi's pulse. After a while, she opened her eyes in shock, "Miss Yiyi is fine, but this demonic power..."
Honghong was a little worried, "What's wrong?"
Jade Spirit waved her hand, "Miss Honghong misunderstood, but Miss Yiyi's demonic power shocked me. I'm afraid even you can't compare to it."
Honghong was a little surprised when she heard this. After thinking about it for a moment, she understood the cause and effect. The power of the fox demon comes from true love. Apparently Yiyi had a great realization this time in Qianqiu Meng.
Of course she is happy that her sister has become stronger, and she feels that the burden on her shoulders seems to be lighter.
In the courtyard, the four Tushan sisters gathered together and talked about the girl's family, while Lu Chen and Dongfang Yue went out and sat down at the pavilion by the river.
"How's it going? Have you caught up with your fairy sister?"
Lu Chen asked teasingly, even if he didn't care about his main mission, Dongfang Yue Yue was the little brother he grew up with, so he still had to care about him.
Mentioning this, Dongfang Yue said with a grimace: "No... Sister Yaoxian just ignored me."
He used all kinds of offensive tactics and was extremely shameless. He had been beaten by Sister Yaya a lot in the past few years, but he still persevered.
Lu Chen thought thoughtfully. Sister Honghong had not experienced the tragedy that year, and she did not have the knot in her heart that Taoist Xiaofan had, but she still did not agree.
In the final analysis, I am afraid there are three points. One is that she is arrogant, but she feels that as the head of Tushan, she cannot have an affair with her children in order to run Tushan well. The third is that she is now the leader of the Monster Alliance. If she falls in love with a human, there will be monsters. gossip.
More than four hundred years have passed, and the world has undergone vicissitudes. The relationship between humans and demons is constantly improving, but the gap is still profound. Dongfang Yue needs to make persistent efforts.
"Then you think you have absolutely no hope of success?"
Lu Chen asked.
Dongfang Yue took out the cakes he bought at Yaoxinzhai and took a vicious bite. Then he thought of something and handed a portion to his brother in a flattering manner, "I think Sister Yaoxian has a grudge in her heart. I still need to work hard."
At the end of the sentence, he put down the cake in his hand and sighed, "There are so many prejudices between humans and demons. She is the leader of the Demon Alliance..."
"Ready to give up?"
Lu Chen took a bite of the pastry and had a great aftertaste. He ate black water black snake every day in Huangquan, and finally felt a little nauseous.
With his current physique, if he didn't consume energy, it wouldn't matter if he didn't eat or drink for more than a year, but after lying down for so long, he still wanted to make his stomach bulge.
Dongfang Yue shook his head, "Of course not. If the demon fairy sister wants peaceful coexistence between humans and demons, I will complete this matter and chase her again."
Lu Chen was speechless, what a lofty ambition.
But now his mood has changed, and he no longer wants to force certain things. He will only rule out some disgusting hidden dangers, and let Dongfang Yue Yue do the rest as it happens.
Even if the mission failed in the end, he felt that it didn't matter. He had already gained something more important in this world, which was just a deduction of nine points from his main attribute.
He and Dongfang Yue went to Yaoxinzhai for a feast. When they returned to the courtyard, they found that the four heads of Tushan were still laughing together.
Sure enough, girls always talk more privately to each other than boys.
"Hey, Sunset, come here, I'm going to beat you up! Take it out on Yiyi!"
Yaya pinched her waist. The twelve or thirteen-year-old girl's figure became more and more slim, but her tone was still the same as before, like a child king.
"Sister Yaya, I am fifteen years old."
Lu Chen smiled.
Yaya's expression was stagnant, "So, so what! I have practiced my ice demon power very well, and I will beat you to the ground today!"
Lu Chen moved forward, gracefully stepped forward, and pointed a finger at Yaya's eyebrows, "Okay, the discussion is over."
Yaya didn't even see how Lu Chen came here, and found that she had been clicked on her life gate. She felt very ridiculous, "How come you have become so powerful again? You were obviously not so powerful before when you were fifteen years old..."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Really? I've always been so good."
After that, he stopped looking at Sister Yaya and winked at Sister Honghong.
Honghong understood and said, "Ya'er, you and Rongrong stay here with Yiyi. Sunset and I have something to go out for."
Yaya was puzzled, but she always listened to her sister. Anyway, she wanted to stay with Yiyi at this time. She liked this little sister the most.
She also wanted to ask why Yiyi had become so strong. She had always been stronger when she was a child, but her sister actually said that she might not be able to beat Yiyi now.
Lu Chen and Hong Hong walked out of the courtyard. Dongfang Yue Yue followed them like followers, but was slapped away by Hong Hong.
But it turns out that cockroaches have very strong vitality and are very sticky. Dongfang Yue Yue perfectly explained that you have to be thick-skinned when chasing women.
Lu Chen was helpless. The place he and Hong Hong were going to next was the top-secret place in Tushan. He said, "At the beginning of the month, please wait in the city for a while. We will be back soon. Don't worry, your demon fairy sister can't be lost." ."
When Hong Hong heard this, her steps paused slightly, and she glared at Lu Chen. The amorous look in her beautiful eyes could not be seen in Dongfang Yue Yue behind her.
Hehe, when Lu Chen saw it, he thought it was funny.
But thinking about it, he had read Hong Hong's memories in the original novel. In fact, she just looked like a cold goddess, but she was actually very shy.
She seemed to be unfazed by the love lunch boxes Dongfang gave her at the beginning of the month. In fact, when she opened them when she was alone, she would blush like a girl and look around to make sure no one else was watching before she started eating.
"Then I'll wait here for brother."
Dongfang Yue nodded obediently. After all, he was his brother, so his words were reliable.
Lu Chen and Hong Hong went all the way to the hillside. Hong Hong used her demonic power to open the door, and they entered the underground space of the Bitter Tree.
