Chapter 739 Kiss in the Sky
Today is undoubtedly a wonderful experience for Xiao Wanjun.
The two of them walked through the air together, speaking words that almost everyone in the world could not understand, but they could understand each other instantly.
It was as if an invisible barrier had risen, cutting off all the noise around them, opening up a small world that belonged only to the two of them.
Gu Xu approached slowly, put his arm around her waist, and gently held her face with his other hand.
"Yan'er, you may not know," he said softly, "when I stayed in the imperial study room with you in the past, it was really not easy to resist touching you."
At this time, the tips of their noses were touching, and there was nothing else in their eyes except each other.
Xiao Wanjun was slightly startled.
How could a powerful monk like His Majesty find it difficult to control himself?
Was he telling his true feelings, or was he just saying love words to make her happy?
She didn't have time to think about it.
The next moment, his lips locked hers.
A strand of hair fell down in front of his forehead, covering her sight, as if night had fallen and the stars and moon were dimmed.
She just felt like she was falling dizzy into a darkness deeper than the long night in the wilderness, and her mind was completely empty.
All five senses seemed to have been stripped away, and the only thing that was clear was the soft and warm touch between the lips.
When their lips parted, she realized that she was leaning softly in Gu Xu's arms.
The Luojing City below has long gone, replaced by rolling mountains, winding rivers, deep woods and vast farmland.
It is his kingdom.
"You have returned from the 'Cang Yao World', and the celebration banquet has not yet been arranged for you. Today I will take you to eat something good and reward our heroes of Great Xia." Gu Xu smiled slightly and then asked, "You What do you want to eat? Youzhou’s hot-boiled mutton, Jiangnan’s vinegar fish, Shu’s hot pot, or Liangzhou’s braised pancakes..."
"Hot pot," Xiao Wanjun replied without thinking, "I want to eat hot pot, the spiciest kind."
She was actually quite afraid of eating chili peppers, and was often so spicy that she burst into tears... But for some reason, maybe because Gu Xu was by her side, she felt that she was fearless today.
"Okay." The smile on Gu Xu's face became even stronger, "It seems that we want to go together."
The two of them stepped on the clouds as if they were walking on flat ground. In an instant, they crossed thousands of rivers and mountains and arrived at a small county in Shu.
In the six months since Xiao Wanjun left the wilderness, Gong Yu, the "Tianji Xingjun" who regained his body, shouldered the important task of building the "Illusion of Qingdu" together with Luo Chuan and Wang Jian.
Through their joint efforts, the "Qingdu Order" has now been widely popularized across the country.
When Gu Xu and Xiao Wanjun were walking on the streets of the county town, practitioners holding tokens passed by them from time to time.
Some people are using their minds to chat with friends far away in the fantasy world, while others are working hard to accumulate points in the "Realm of Discussion" to redeem the latest season theme costume "Conqueror of Another World".
Xiao Wanjun looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but smile. He turned to look at Gu Xu and said softly: "Your Majesty, you really make this world look brand new."
"It's not me, it's us." Gu Xu corrected.
They came to a busy hot pot restaurant on the roadside. The store was bustling with people, and the aroma overflowed from the narrow space and could be smelled from a distance. Under the cover of Gu Xu's "karma" authority, no one recognized their identities, and everyone just regarded them as ordinary diners.
The two even waited in line for a while before getting a table in the corner.
While waiting for the food to be served, there was a lot of chatter in the store.
A silver-haired old man sitting not far away spoke slowly, his eyes showing the vicissitudes of time: "Oh, I remember when the long night fell last time, how could I dare to go out at will when I lived in this remote small county town. Then Ghosts often take advantage of the opportunity to invade, and life is at risk. Even having a full meal is a luxury, unlike now, I can still eat hot pot with peace of mind. ”
"Yes," a middle-aged man at the same table agreed, "in the past few years of Your Majesty's reign, the changes in the Great Wilderness have been earth-shaking. Compared with now, the Daqi period was like living in the underworld, and I lived in fear every day. Yes, I really don’t know how I survived.”
At the same time, a young man queuing up outside the store was complaining to his companions: "The business of such a remote store is so booming, thanks to the 'Qingdu Fantasy'! Ever since the boss started playing in the fantasy, Advertising, many practitioners come here despite the long distance. Plus the taste is really good... Now every time they come, they have to wait in line for a long time! The boss is really stingy and is not willing to rent a bigger store and hire more people. ”
"By the way, speaking of the 'Illusion of Qingdu', have you seen the recently launched 'Nine Lights Restoration Pill', 'Xuan Ming Po E Pill' and 'Zhuyuan Soul Concentrating Pill'?" said a person waiting in line. The exorcist monk interjected, "These elixirs were sent by the imperial court. After the development of 'Cang Yao World', it was specially refined with the rare materials brought back. It has the effect of assisting enlightenment and nourishing the soul. Now it can be exchanged for 'Xia Huang Coins' in 'Qingdu Fantasy Land', and the price is still low. It’s expensive.”
"Today's times are really different," his colleagues beside him sighed. "It's not like in the old days of Daqi, where resources were so scarce that you had to fight tooth and nail to slay demons just for a single pill. If you are not careful, you will lose your life.”
"Damn it, we lost again!" A monk angrily threw down the "Qingdu Order" in his hand and cursed angrily: "Do these bastard teammates have any brains? They charge without any brains and they are hit. The opponent's plan was to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and the flag at the base was secretly pulled out without anyone noticing
"How can I be promoted to the 'Xuan' level and get the 'Conqueror of Another World' when I meet such mentally retarded teammates every time in my life! I just missed getting the 'Glory of the Age' last season. …”
"..."
"Cheers to a prosperous age!"
"Cheers to His Majesty!"
"Long live Daxia! Long live your Majesty!"
"..."
Gu Xu looked at the scene of people drinking and chatting happily on the table next door, and thought to himself: So in their hearts, the prosperous age has already arrived?
When he turned around, the hot pot was already on the table.
In the hot air, the fiery red soup was tumbling. A layer of red chili peppers and numbing peppercorns floated on the surface of the soup, and the strong spiciness hit your nostrils.
The fat meat slices in the pot are shiny and bright, the bright red shrimp shells are cooked in the boiling soup and become even brighter in color, and the white and tender tofu is full of soup, swaying gently with the ripples of the soup surface.
Xiao Wanjun gently pushed a small bowl of meat slices in front of Gu Xu and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, if the beef is scalded in the pot for a long time, it will become old and the taste will not be good. I will pick it up for you in advance. ”
Just as Gu Xu was about to stretch out his chopsticks, he suddenly noticed that Xiao Wanjun's hands were stained with some oil, his fingertips were slightly red, and he seemed to be curled up unnaturally.
He held her hand and asked, "What's wrong with your hand?"
Xiao Wanjun was startled for a moment, lowered his head in embarrassment, and said softly: "I was peeling shrimp shells...but my technique was not good, the shrimps were too hot, and my hands were burned."
Gu Xu glanced at her bowl, but there was no trace of shrimp in it.
Looking down again, I found that the peeled shrimp had already been quietly placed in my bowl.
The pink and tender shrimp meat is soaked in red oil, exuding bursts of fresh fragrance, which is particularly tempting.
