Chapter 127 Free Meal (Made-up name)
Anta County.
The old man looked at the sky, finished wrapping the last dumpling, and suddenly sighed.
When Li Deyang left, he felt uneasy, but he also knew that his son had his own responsibilities, and as a father, he could only support him.
But that unease continued to spread until the thunderous roar that shook the heavens could be heard clearly, even from a great distance.
For some reason, that unease dissipated by more than half.
He sat up and began to put the dumplings one by one into the boiling water.
A short while —
The old man patted the water off the dumplings, scooped out the cooked dumplings, and called out his granddaughter's name:
"Tingting! See if your dad's back yet?"
After saying that, he was still a little worried and gave some more instructions.
"Don't run away this time! No kind sister will be able to catch you!"
The little girl ran to the door.
After a while, she ran back, looked at the steaming dumplings on the table, and whispered, "Not yet..."
The old man took a carton of milk from the bag he had brought and inserted a straw into his granddaughter's drink: "Drink your milk, and he'll be back when you're done..."
He wasn't sure himself, but for some reason, he felt that his son would come back.
"bump……"
The door to the cabin was opened from the outside.
A slightly disheveled figure walked in from outside.
"Dad, Tingting!"
Li Deyang looked up at his family members sitting at the table inside the house, waiting for him, and smiled.
"It's getting late..."
However, I'm back..."
…………
Seeing the passageway summoned by Lu Yu using the Rebirth Token, Lin Qiye, as the team leader, stepped out first, followed closely by the others who also exited the Underworld.
Then they stood there dumbfounded, staring at Ye Fan who was still eating dinner.
Lu Yu chuckled and stretched out his paw: "What a coincidence, Commander Ye, would you mind adding a few more sets of bowls and chopsticks?"
Lin Qiye and his group had been working with Lu Yu for so long that they had developed a thick skin and knew the common sense that "as long as they weren't embarrassed, it was others who were embarrassed." So they nodded in agreement.
Under the blatant stares of these brats, Ye Fan didn't even have time to ask how they suddenly returned, or why a woman in ancient costume who looked like she stepped out of a movie was following behind them. He just subconsciously nodded: "...Okay, okay?"
Finally, Ye Fan watched as the six young people sitting at the table devoured the fried egg noodles he had just cooked, and stood aside to take out a cigarette.
He was about to light it when he saw the girl's happy expression as she ate, so he quietly tucked the cigarette behind his ear.
After the group had finished eating, Ye Fan finally spoke up: "Tell me, shouldn't you be in Anta County at this time? How did you suddenly appear? And who is this girl? Where did you bring her from?"
Jialan, who was called out, was not very good at speaking and was not clear about certain situations, but he still subconsciously glanced at Luyu.
Baili Tuming and Cao Yuan immediately looked at the real instigator, Lu.
Lu froze, wiped his mouth, and silently shifted his gaze to his captain, even glancing at An Qingyu who was doing the same thing.
Yes, I can tell from their eyes that they're the kind of person who wants to shift the blame (or help shift the blame).
"Captain, say something!"
Lin Qiye felt a vein pop out on his forehead as he listened to the affected voice beside him.
No hitting anyone, no hitting anyone, he's a teammate, he's a teammate...
After taking a few deep breaths, he put on a reliable expression and began to report to Ye Fan about his work, the identity of Jialan beside him, and the relevant situation in Fengdu.
…………
A dozen minutes later, upon hearing that Lu Yu had made a deal to resurrect the gods of Fengdu in conjunction with Pingxin, Ye Fan couldn't help but swear:
"grass……"
He glared at the guilty-looking person.
Lu Yu subconsciously shrank her neck. Nothing's wrong...
Seven Nights, you've gone too far! Why are you bringing up things that didn't happen...?
Ye Fan, reminded by "Yang Jian", had already paid attention to Lu Yu's mental state, but no one expected that the little rascal would relapse after only a few days of being released!
However, Ye Fan's anger subsided quickly. After confirming that his friends who cared most about Lu Yu were still able to talk and laugh calmly, Ye Fan realized that the so-called price seemed to be within their tolerance.
"What's the price?"
Ye Fan looked at Lu Yu, his serious expression clearly telling her that she had to tell the truth.
"...Really, no..."
Deer had no choice.
"Because the ones who made the sacrifice this time were those gods who had originally died, and their consciousness had remained in Fengdu without dissipating, the phantom of Houtu quickly reassembled after it appeared..."
Seeing that Lu Yu had invoked the name of Houtu Niangniang, Ye Fan, though still somewhat uneasy, stopped asking further questions.
"...It's just...it's just that I might need to sleep for a few days..."
Seeing that everyone was relieved, Lu Yu then revealed the information he had just learned from the system.
Lin Qiye's heart skipped a beat, as if he had thought of something: "Why?"
Could it be that the fortune teller meant this when he said "leave"?
Lu Yu's expression was somewhat strange, but she finally forced out a helpless sigh: "Because... I've used up some energy and need to rest..."
Lin Qiye asked suspiciously, "Really?"
Is it really not because there is any price to pay?
Surely it won't be like last time...
Thinking of this, the other teenagers, who also knew that Lu Yu had a criminal record, all became worried.
Lu Yu was still immersed in his own thoughts, constantly babbling incessantly to the system:
"Why are we having to add more classes again?!"
"Didn't Lord Fuxi say that I only need to attend one week of extra classes?"
"Study all day long? Am I crazy?"
You should know this best!
You haven't really mastered the Eight Trigrams, and you only have a superficial understanding of formations. Besides the two Divine Ruins, what other techniques do you know? Right now, all the means you use to save your life are the magical treasures they gave you.
This incident in the underworld has blown up. The chances of you being investigated by the gods will greatly increase. You can't just throw away your magical artifacts like Baili Tuming did, can you?
The system's voice clearly sided with the gods of the primordial world, leaving Lu Yu wailing in his mind, refusing to budge.
[Go and study diligently in seclusion in the primordial wilderness for three days.]
After all, they are very unhappy with your risky trip to Fengdu.
If it weren't for that achievement at the end, Lu Yu, who lacked enough virtual value, would have been completely drained.
Not only the gods, but even the system wanted to curse, but since it had no physical form, it could only think about it in its mind.
Lu Yu's teammates had no idea what she was thinking or feeling.
Garan belatedly realized that the girl was about to fall asleep. She knew the loneliness of being alone. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she placed her hand on Lu Yu's arm.
The "no limits" automatic filtering did not exclude any girls.
Don't be afraid, you're not alone...
Lu Yu, simply too embarrassed to admit he failed his studies and needed retaking them: "I don't know what Sister Jialan is up to, but sticking close to a beautiful girl is the best thing to do!"
Lin Qiye also suppressed his unease and nodded as if nothing was wrong:
"Lu Yu, you should rest well these next few days. We'll be waiting for you."
Baili Tuming nodded quickly and pulled Cao Yuan and An Qingyu beside him: "Little Deer, don't worry, this is Shangjing. We can familiarize ourselves with the terrain here. We'll go play together when you wake up!"
Lu Yu snapped out of her daze and burst out laughing:
"What are you playing around with? When I wake up, we're going to find Brother Zhai together!"
Her eyes darted around, and she burst out laughing.
"Our team cannot afford to lose a single member!"
