Chapter 34: The Tavernkeeper

"Sizzle!~" Lu Feng'er remembered, but as soon as he moved, he felt a splitting headache, and his head felt like it was going to explode.

He struggled, but fell hard, hugging his body violently against the bed, and the pain from the impact on his head almost made him scream.

"Damn, not long after he crossed here, he has been lying in bed twice!" he couldn't help but feel a little congested, he had experienced twice in the past few days what he hadn't experienced in more than ten years.

"Awake?" The man's voice sounded in his ears, and Lu Feng'er struggled to turn his head to look.

"Boss?" the man who was seriously peeling the fruit that looked like an apple in his hand really surprised him, it was actually the tavern owner who didn't care about his life.

"Hmm. His answer was still as simple as that, and his tone was cold. With that, he gestured and handed out the 'apple' in his hand.

Lu Feng'er got up cautiously, sat down, let out a long breath, and was not polite to him, and took the 'apple' he handed over. For some reason, this 'apple' made him feel irresistible, unconsciously transmitting a sense of hunger and thirst from his body.

"Thank you!" he nodded to him and bit down slowly. The juice-laden flesh flowed into his mouth like water, and he was surprised by the refreshing and delicious sweetness.

'Is this really an apple?' he looked left and right in confusion, he had never eaten an apple with this texture, but he couldn't help but fall in love with it.

"What's wrong?" the tavernkeeper asked, looking at his confused look.

"No, it's nothing, I've never eaten fruit like this, so I'm a little confused. Lu Feng'er replied, but after eating, he suddenly felt a burst of coolness in his mind, and he felt much more comfortable.

"Haven't you eaten?" the tavernkeeper was puzzled, but then he justified his explanation, though not quite accurate, "Yes, you don't seem to be a local." ”

"Uh......" Lu Feng'er thought about it and didn't know where to start, so she also planned to give up explaining.

"By the way, how long have I been sleeping?" Lu Feng'er was also afraid that he would sleep for several days and let Mu Xu worry about him.

"One day. The tavern keeper replied, "You are not even a first-class martial artist, but you provoke a third-level martial artist first, shall I say that you are brave or stupid?"

"Uh....." Lu Feng'er didn't know how to answer for a while, but paused for a while, "I don't know, but I really can't help such an insult to the witch on that dog day, and I will beat him again!"

"Did he hit you or did you hit him?" he asked rhetorically.

Lu Feng'er was speechless for a while.

"Hmph, if you want to protect others, the first thing you need to do is improve your own strength. The tavern owner snorted at him.

"Well, I've been working on it. Lu Feng'er replied solemnly, but .......

"After working hard for more than ten years, he is not even a first-class martial artist?" The tavern owner spoke mercilessly, I don't know how many times Lu Feng'er was speechless, "Hmm...... Or has you just broken through to a first-level martial artist?"

"This ...... I'm a first-class martial artist?" Lu Feng'er asked in surprise.

"At such an age, or a first-level martial artist, deserves to be so happy?" he asked rhetorically, frowning.

"Uh.... Isn't this a big breakthrough, ahahaha!" Lu Feng'er snorted, and the tavern owner didn't say anything when he saw this.

"Why do you want to stand up for the shrine maiden?" the atmosphere was awkward for a moment, and the tavernkeeper asked the question he had been wondering about that day.

"The shrine maiden saved my life. Lu Feng'er didn't want to answer.

"Is it, a new generation of shrine maidens?" he was slightly surprised.

"Hmm!" Lu Feng'er affirmed, "Why do you ask this question?" He was also puzzled, he felt that the people in this world were very repulsive to witches, but the people in front of him were obviously not.

"Because I was also saved by a shrine maiden, but I am a shrine maiden of the previous generation. The tavern owner explained.

"Huh?" Lu Feng'er was taken aback, but then there was an irrepressible anger, and he couldn't help but ask loudly, "Then why can you bear them insulting the witch so much?"

The tavernkeeper looked at him for a moment, his eyelids drooping slightly, and picked up the knife in his hand and picked up another unknown fruit.

"There's no way I'm going to kill everyone who insults them. It was a long time before he continued.

"Then at least people are so insulting in front of you, are you indifferent?" Lu Feng'er was angry.

"For you you, it's hundreds, thousands, of people, nobles and commoners, and you can't shut everyone up. He replied as he peeled the fruit in his hand, and then added, "When I was your age, I had been fighting people for more than ten years about this matter, and I lost my previous position as an officer, but I have no regrets about it." ”

Lu Feng'er was slightly stunned and looked at him silently.

After a long pause, he spoke again, his voice low but powerful, "So, if you want to protect them, you must first become stronger yourself." ”

He looked at him with a solemn look in his eyes. Lu Feng'er nodded seriously at him.

"You've done a great job before. The tavern owner praised him once.

"I didn't ...... I remember being beaten all the time. Lu Feng'er was also puzzled, could it be considered good to be beaten all the time?

"I'm talking about your last sword. The tavern owner added.

"Forehead ....." Regarding that sword, Lu Fenger estimated that the impression was the lightest.

"What the hell happened in the end, how do you feel?" asked the tavernkeeper, slightly surprised, by his confused appearance.

"I don't remember either, I just remember that everything became very psychedelic, very ........slow," Lu Feng'er held her head and grabbed her hair, but she couldn't remember what happened.

"Don't think about it if you can't think about it, but that sword saved you your dignity. Looking at him with a tangled face, the tavern owner said lightly, but his tone always made Lu Feng'er feel a little praised in it, which made him feel a little proud in his heart.

"By the way, what about the dog-sun?" Lu Feng'er felt that she had just broken through the first-level martial artist, and her momentum was booming, so she wanted to try to find her way back, but this little bit of caution suddenly made the tavern owner figure it out.

"What's the matter? As soon as you broke through, you thought you could get back on the field? Do you think that third-level martial artists eat? You were able to beat him before because of that stupid B's own carelessness, in other words, you don't call it a win at all!" the tavern owner sneered.

"Uh....... No matter how you say it, you won't lose so ugly, right?" Lu Feng'er was also embarrassed after being poked through what she thought in her heart, and scratched her head.

"Hmph!" the tavern owner snorted coldly, "It's okay to go back and practice more, don't have nothing to do for a day, besides, that guy probably has to lie in bed for a few more days now." ”

"Huh?" Lu Feng'er was stunned.

"On a whim, I took that stupid B under the knife. With that, the tavern owner handed the fruit in his hand to Lu Feng'er, "It's okay, let's leave after eating." ”

"Well, okay, thank you!" Lu Feng'er also felt a little embarrassed to disturb him like this.

"By the way, what happened to you saying that you lost your position as an officer before?" Lu Feng'er suddenly asked.

"Beat the general's son......" he paused for a moment, "crippled." ”

The corners of Lu Feng'er's mouth twitched, speechless

"And brother, how to pay for that meal?" At this time, Lu Feng'er suddenly remembered that she hadn't paid yet.

"No, come to me if you haven't eaten in the future, I don't think there's anything to eat from the shrine maiden, right?" he asked rhetorically.

"This, how embarrassing is this....." Before Lu Feng'er finished speaking, the tavern owner interrupted her, "I respect you as a man!" ”

When Lu Feng'er heard this, it was as if she had returned to the scene when Xiang Panglong spoke to him, which made him distracted for a while.

6,000 years........
