The Future (4)
The morning sun shone on the official road leading to the Ming Dynasty capital Shuntianfu (present-day Beijing), and pedestrians carried packages or carts to the central hub of this prosperous dynasty...
Even though it's only early in the morning, the official road is still full of traffic, with civilians walking on foot and rich people hurrying across the central avenue in horse-drawn carriages...
Almost no one will take the path other than the official road, after all, it is possible to encounter [monsters] by taking those strange paths, and once they encounter it, it is almost certain death for ordinary people....
[Honkai] exists in the whole world, not only in Europe, but also... The ancient and vast Eastern continent has no less [Honkai] than in Europe, if not more...
The 'Mandate of Heaven' organization that had already appeared during this period called the animals and people that were eroded and transformed when [Honkai] appeared [Honkai Beast], while the people of the Shenzhou Continent called it [Youkai]...
Because the Shenzhou Continent is too big, as long as the Honkai beasts generated by [Honkai] don't directly attack humans but hide first... Even the [Immortal], who was revered by everyone in the Ming Dynasty, couldn't catch all the Honkai beasts hiding in the deep mountains and old forests... Therefore, the 'immortals' can only ensure the safety of the official road, and ensure that pedestrians will not be attacked by [monsters] in the middle of walking...
All in all... The Shenzhou Continent, which is sheltered by [Immortals], is still calm and peaceful, as if the world does not exist [Honkai]... Sometimes, youkai have become a strange topic of conversation...
"Crunch!~" The carriage made entirely of wood is honestly not very comfortable to sit on... But it's better than walking...
"Ha~~" Leaning on the side of the carriage loaded with a large amount of goods, Li Xuan couldn't help but yawn... Squinting his eyes, basking in the sun with a lazy look...
The long black hair in the sun was tied up at will, and a few strands of hair fell down on the delicate face like a fairy, and the lethality was simply intended to slaughter women from six years old to sixty years old...
"Li Gongzi, Li Gongzi...", the crisp and immature young girl's voice sounded again... Even with his eyes closed, Li Xuan knew who the person who came...
Miss Luo's personal maid Luo Chenxue has not yet passed the expiration date, and her appearance is enough to make the otaku lick all kinds of cute Lori Xiaoqian after a hundred years....
The encounter with these people, this matter is really quite routine... To put it simply, it is still a bridge section where the hero saves the beauty for thousands of years...
Li Xuan, who was slowly moving towards the capital of the Ming Dynasty, met on the way with good luck to the point of bursting... took a shortcut and ran into Miss Locke, who was attacked by monsters for a rare time in a century... And then there's a wave of clichéd heroes saving beauty...
The careless Li Xuan threw a random punch and directly killed the unlucky Honkai beast who met Li Xuan at home... In order not to let himself be so strong, Li Xuan could only use all his strength to make himself sweat profusely, revealing that he was exhausted...
For Li Xuan, who saved her life, Miss Luo is grateful, plus the benefactor's own appearance bonus... It's almost a shame, this Miss Locke is about to make a promise... However, because of her shyness, the eldest lady of the Luo family opened her mouth for a long time and missed the best opportunity to say thank you... In the end, it was the housekeeper Fubo who ran to the PR...
"Li Gongzi, this is a pastry prepared by Miss, please taste it too..."Xiao Qian, who was still holding the food box tightly in his little hand, said loudly while swallowing his saliva...
"Hmm?..." Li Xuan sat up and took a look, what made Xiao Qian swallow was just an ordinary 'mung bean cake' that couldn't be more ordinary... Of course, in this day and age, it is not something that ordinary people can eat at will... And only a wealthy family like the Locke family would eat often...
“... Ah~~" Li Xuan stretched out and pinched a piece of mung bean cake that was a little hard, opened his mouth to Lori, and said...
"Ah~~" Lori girl directly opened her cherry mouth to show her teeth...
Here I have to say that there is still a big difference between the maids of rich families and ordinary maids... The teeth of a rich maid who open their mouth are called shell teeth, while the teeth of ordinary maids are called sparse yellow teeth...
"Hmm..."A piece of hard mung bean cake was stuffed into Little Lori's mouth, and Li Xuan felt a strange sense of happiness when feeding his pet... He may understand a little bit what it means to be 'cute is justice' 'I'm going to die without Lori'' 'cute thinks... Ahem'
Xiao Qian is a cautious foodie, even if he is holding mung bean cake in his little hand like a hamster holding a fruit and puffing out his cheeks, his eyes are also aimed at the carriage not far away from time to time, always paying attention to the situation of his young lady...
Although she felt that with her young lady's immobile and shy personality, it was unlikely that she would be bold enough to look at it... It's so cowardly, Miss... Mom said that when you meet a good man, you must catch something from each other...
"Okay, I'll just eat a piece of it..."Li Xuan casually picked up a piece of mung bean cake from the food box he took and stuffed it into his mouth and said... To be honest, this kind of dim sum is really not a delicacy in the eyes of modern people, if he wants to eat dessert, there are a bunch of them in the space ring... Waffles, meat muffins, osmanthus cakes... There is a special time stop space for these foods in the space ring, so you don't need to worry about it breaking at all...
"For the rest, Xiao Qian, you can take it back... I don't like to eat mung bean cakes very much..."Li Xuan handed back the food box in his hand...
"?!!" Xiao Qian was suddenly shocked, and his gaze at Li Xuan was like a heavenly shock... You know, even in a wealthy merchant family like the Locke family, no one has ever said that I don't like mung bean cakes very much... In this day and age, sweets with sugar are considered a delicacy...
Li Xuan's sentence is quite Ma Yun said, "I have never touched money, I am not interested in money..."
There are only two explanations for this situation... One is that Li Xuan is pretending to be forced, and the other is that Li Xuan's identity is not simple, at least he is also from a rich family...
Xiao Qian glanced at the other party's handsome face and a white silk robe that looked very valuable, and decisively chose the second option...
"Then Li Gongzi, Xiao Qian went back first... Miss said that she was about to arrive at Shuntian Mansion, and when the time came, please ask Gongzi to stay for the time being, so that the Luo family can thank you..."Xiao Qian waved his little hand, and the other mobile phone wisely wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth...
As a professional personal maid... She has a B number in her heart, and she doesn't swell... I will also wipe my mouth after stealing food!
"Well, okay..."Li Xuan nodded in response, he first agreed superficially... And then... Everybody knows...
"Then I'm going to serve Miss, Li Gongzi will see you later..."Xiao Qian, who decided to give the information he obtained this time (Li Gongzi may have a lot of origin) to Miss, said with a cute smile, turned around and happily returned to the carriage...
"......." Li Xuan retracted his gaze and looked at a magnificent city exposed on the other side of the skyline, as it got closer, the city became closer and closer, and it seemed that he could hear the bustling sound of people from so far away, like a white lotus tree rooted in the mud but blooming... In this world where Honkai is active, tens of thousands of people have gathered to maintain peace and beauty, and they have not been razed to the ground by Honkai beasts that naturally like to rush towards the crowd...
"This water is very deep..."Li Xuan, who looked at Chengchi and picked up the kettle, said softly, he couldn't help frowning after taking a sip of water...
"It's still cool," added the Sage... It's so cold to your teeth...
…………………………………..
"Li Gongzi, Li Gongzi... My young lady has already booked an inn, can you come along?" "The Locke family, who had just passed through the city gate and relied on the documents in the letter sent by the elder brother of the Locke family, immediately sent Nicholas Xiaoqian, a diplomat of the eldest lady of the Locke family, to find someone who had been staying in the carriage carrying the goods...
"What about ??? people?" Xiao Qian assured that he had always seen Li Xuan in the car before, to be precise, he was still there a minute ago...
But even if Xiao Qian looked around the entire convoy and didn't find Li Gongzi's figure, the place where he had been staying was already empty, only a snow-white piece of paper was pressed by the box containing the goods...
"......." Xiao Qian looked at the blank paper and was stunned, and said in her heart, oops, it's over... Li Gongzi, this is definitely running... This young lady is so beautiful that she doesn't want to stay and have a meal together?
Xiao Qian, who was thinking wildly, finally reached out and picked up the pressed paper... I don't know what pen was written on it...
[Don't get married, it will only increase loneliness. 】
Well, the words are ugly... Xiao Qian thought about it, but for some reason she felt a little sad in her heart... Presumably Miss will be sad too, right?
