Nine floors

The Beastmaster sat at the stone table, his fingers fiddling with the peanuts in front of him.

"Brother." Behind him, the girl's crisp voice was heard, and the sound of shoes gently tapping on the ground.

"Here we are." The Beastmaster didn't look back, but there seems to be only one girl who can appear in this place, not to mention this familiar name, and there seem to be a lot of people you haven't heard of.

"Hmm." The girl sat down beside the Beastmaster, revealing a look that only a little girl revealed, "Why are you drinking again, I remember that you didn't seem to drink much before." ”

"Yes, it's all bad habits with that stinky boy, and I'm proficient in smoking and drinking." The Beastmaster grinned softly, "What are you doing here, looking at me, an old man who has no one to take care of?" ”

"How come, you're still young, why are you an old man?" Xi smiled and looked at the Beastmaster and said.

"Hehe, don't comfort me, it's clear that people are old or not, in fact, you feel like you can jump and jump by yourself, but when you really get together with that group of young people, you will really feel that you are old." The Beastmaster smiled unconcernedly, "What about the guys?" ”

"Let's go out to play, Xiaobai has been sent to the fourth floor, as if he is looking for something with the blood of the king." Xi glanced at the Beastmaster, "Brother, you've been down there for so many years, have you ever heard of this kind of thing?" ”

"King's blood?" The Beastmaster had a look on his face as if what the hell was this, and then shook his head, "No, what are you looking for this thing for?" King's Blood... Is it a treasure or something? ”

"No, it seems to be a person." Xi shook his head gently, "The specific reason Big Brother didn't tell us, he just said that this thing is very important to him, and now the executors in the Tower of Babel are basically gathered on the fourth floor, and even the old immortals on the eighth floor have gone." ”

"Oh, it looks like this thing is really important to him." The Beastmaster smiled and nodded, "Then why didn't you go and see it?" Anyway, aren't they all idle and have nothing to do, and going around the fourth floor is like going to play. ”

"I didn't go, the last time I went with the little rabbit cub of the Fan family, no one found it, but he fortunately robbed two beautiful little girls back, and that thing didn't even have any clues." Yuki shrugged her shoulders slightly, as if she was dissatisfied with the results that had been formed last time.

"Oh, snatched two little girls back?" Hearing this, the Beastmaster's face changed slightly, but his movements were very small, and Xi didn't notice it, "Which kid from the Fan family?" ”

"Fan Zhuangjie, the second son of the Fan family." blurted out the name, it seems that she still remembers this person vividly, after all, so long has passed, but for this name that she may have only heard once, she can blurt out directly.

"Oh, how long have you remembered?" The Beastmaster looked at her with some surprise and asked with a smile.

"yes, how can this little brute not remember." Xi snorted twice, and it was obvious that her impression of this person could be said to be extremely poor.

"Since it's a little brute, didn't you care when he did it to those two girls?" The Beastmaster smiled and asked seemingly casually.

"No, this kind of thing is not in our hands, and you should know that the world below is originally a world of the jungle, even if we can save her once, but next time, we still can't help them for a lifetime." Xi shook her head gently, and seemed a little helpless.

"That's right." The Beastmaster bowed his head slightly, "By the way, what about the eldest brother?" ”

"It's still on the tenth floor, but I haven't seen him come down for a long time, I guess there's something, if I don't come down today, I'll call and ask, what's going on." Xi shook her head gently, although in private they called that god big brother, but for them, that person was still a high god after all, this was noncommittal.

"Well, you don't have to call later, I'll go up and see him." The Beastmaster smiled and threw another peanut into his mouth, "By the way, when did Xiaobai leave." ”

"It's been almost a month." Xi thought for a moment and replied.

"Then before you leave, don't you come to see me, a lonely old man who is my brother?" The beastmaster smiled and glanced at Xi, "What's the matter, am I not right?" ”

"It's not like he's gone and he's not coming back, why should he tell you." Rolling her eyes slightly, maybe only in front of the beastmaster would she show this childlike appearance. I don't know how long it has been, probably more than a thousand years, since the Beastmaster left here, I have never seen such a simple expression on her face, without any concealment, just pure expression of dislike or liking.

"Well, really? But why do I think he should talk to me? The beastmaster squinted, drank the wine in front of him, and then poured himself a glass, "After all, he should be considered his own family now, is there anything wrong with saying goodbye to my brother and saying that he wants to go out?" ”

"What a family, haven't we always been a family?" Xi Qiao's face flushed slightly, and then she took a sip of the wine glass in front of the beastmaster in a little haste, as if she wanted to hide the blush on her face, "Well, it's not delicious, it's spicy..."

"Yes, it's spicy, but I like it when I drink it, and that's what the little guy taught me." The Beastmaster took back the wine glass from Xi's hand and smiled, "He said that there is nothing so-called delicious and undelicious in this world, the so-called delicious is to like it, and the so-called undelicious is not to like." ”

"It's like some people who clearly don't like to eat those bitter things, but if the people around him like to eat, then he will slowly accept the strong fragrance after the bitterness, just like this glass of wine, some people only taste the spicy taste, while some people can taste his fragrance." The Beastmaster glanced at Jade's wine glass, "Do you know why?" ”

"I don't know." Xi shook her head decisively, looked at the Beastmaster's face with a curious expression, and asked.

"Because of your life, if your life is occupied by bitterness, then you can't taste bitterness." The Beastmaster smiled, "That said, this kind of thing does taste average, but I don't know why it tastes good." At least I feel like I'm much more comfortable than him, at least I can taste the ups and downs, and it feels good, haha. ”

Xi looked at the man in front of him, a little incomprehensible, it was exactly the same as when he left, but you just couldn't see through him, couldn't guess what he was thinking, couldn't guess what he was doing. It's exactly the same, but suddenly you look at that person as if you're a stranger sitting in front of you.
