It was a few days before the festival, and Saint Grace City was bustling with activity due to the influx of pilgrims. It was already dusk, but the streets were still bustling with people. Shouts, peddlers, haggling sounds…were endless.
" Brother Yu, Brother Yu..." A silver bell-like voice came from a silver-haired girl on the street. She was holding a young man's hand and looking at him with concern. However, he saw that the young man was frowning and thinking hard about something difficult. He didn't seem to notice the young girl's call. These two people were Xue Yu and Sha Sa, and they were on their way to the Water Moon Pavilion.
If that was the case…No! That…wouldn't work either! I thought of hundreds of possible situations and countermeasures that could happen when I met Lin, but none of them seemed appropriate! Annoying! Why did I have to run into this kind of thing! The thing I'm the least good at is dealing with women. Firstly, I'm young and I've been cultivating on some desolate planets, but I've never seen many women, let alone get to know them. I have the theoretical knowledge in this area, which is the second point I want to say. My knowledge in this area came from my two masters. However, I had been out there for two years, so when I saw fierce women, especially beautiful women, I had reservations about the experience of my two masters.
I still remember that when I was fourteen, I had some interest in girls. From time to time, I would take a peek at my master's beautiful girl posters. Of course, this could not be hidden from my two masters who were thousands of times more cunning than foxes. So they began to instill knowledge about "love" into me crazily. To my surprise, the First Master and Second Master, who had always been at odds with each other, had surprisingly the same attitude on this matter. From Confucius's "Only villains and women are difficult to raise" to the fall of a hegemon who was trapped by love, a research report on the phenomenon of modern youth falling in love, a discussion on the emotional crisis in modern cities, being forced to read several books like Fortress Besieged, watching urban romance movies, human hormone analysis reports, and the teachings of two masters... All that was missing was the experience. With that, under the guidance of my master, I conducted a thorough and painstaking study of love. Finally, I submitted a hundred pages long paper, My View of Love. After my two masters were satisfied with it, my days returned to peace. The main research results were " The degree of danger of a woman is proportional to their beauty "," rationality is more realistic than emotion "," Eight unique tricks to deal with women's tears "," On possessiveness and conquering desire ", and so on. From then on, he would never mention anything related to women in front of the two elders. Even so, theory is, after all, a theory that can withstand the test of practice. I was missing this step, and I was still at a loss about " love." Now, I realized that 'the danger level of a woman is directly proportional to their beauty' had been verified by Lin and Princess Yue Ni. I was currently in such danger, which was not a good thing.
I promised Se that I would take good care of Lin, but the current situation is that Lin hates me very much, but she has fallen in love with my other identity-Yu. Lucifer. If I didn't handle this situation well and hurt Lin's fragile heart, I didn't know how to explain it to Se's soul in heaven. For now, I could only take one step at a time. Of course, I couldn't run. With my understanding of Lin and her stubborn temper, I didn't know what would happen. I didn't expect love at first sight to happen to me.
"Hey! Brother Yu! Sister Lin is here!" Sha Sa was a little angry and shouted in my ear.
"En! Ah!" "Where is he?" I asked in a panic. Have we arrived at Shuiyue Restaurant?"
"Not yet!" Sha Sa pouted.
"Sha Sa, don't be angry!" Seeing that Sha Sa was angry, I quickly comforted her, thinking, I can't even handle a little girl!
"Haha! Isn't this Young Master Lucifer? What a coincidence!" The crisp female voice made Sha Sa and I focus our attention on the speaker. It was Princess Yue Ni. She was sitting in a gorgeous carriage and talking to me and Sha Sa through the window.
"Hello, Sister Yue Ni!" Sha Sa and Yue Ni were very familiar with each other, so she casually greeted them." Sister, where are you going?!" Aren't you going to the Water Moon Restaurant?" Only then did I realize that the carriage was heading in the opposite direction.
"Oh, Bezos 'envoy is here. I have to deal with them! I just came back from the Water Moon Pavilion and was about to rush to the palace. Right, Master Lin of Lucifer has been waiting for a while!”Princess Yue Ni gave me a mysterious smile as she replied. I immediately felt my heart jump.
"Thank you for your reminder!" I said.
"No need. I'm doing this for my good sister! En! By the way, come closer, I have something to ask you!”Princess Yue Ni's expression became serious as she spoke. I took two steps forward.
"What is it?" I wondered what she was going to ask.
Princess Yue Ni lowered her voice so low that only I could hear her." What's your relationship with Lanuo and Xue Yu?”
My heart skipped a beat. There was such a big mistake in creating a fake identity. "What do you mean?"
"I'm doing this for Lin's own good. If you're like Xue Yu, it'll hurt Lin's heart!”
"We can be considered fellow disciples! However, I major in magic!" I thought of an explanation.
"Oh! Then you're also very powerful! You must have killed a lot of people!"
"I can't say that it's powerful, but I haven't tried killing people yet!”I replied lightly. Lucifer had never killed anyone.
Princess Yue Ni stared at me as if she was trying to see if I was lying. Then, she smiled brightly."Alright then! Can you do me a favor?"
"What favor?" Let's see what she's up to.
" I want to see Xue Yu, you…" Princess Yue Ni's face was faintly bashful.
"Him? He's not easy to find! I don't see him often either! We were all busy with our own matters, and it was only by chance that we met in Saint Grace City. You…Why are you looking for him?"
"Oh, I just want him to join the army. Isn't it a pity that he's so strong but is wandering around?”
"Oh! I don't think there's anything wrong with being unrestrained like this.”
"You think so, but he might not be!”
"Is that so? I know him better than you do."
"Anyway, just help me pass a message. You…just say that I want to see him!”Princess Yue Ni was acting like a little girl at this moment.
"En, even though I don't think he will agree, I will still help you!”I want to send her away as soon as possible.
"Thank you!"
"No need! Goodbye!"
"I'll wait for your good news! Goodbye!" Princess Yue Ni put down the curtains with a smile, and the coachman whipped the carriage to the Imperial Palace.
"Brother Yu, what did Sister Yue Ni say to you?”Sha Sa asked.
"It's nothing! He was just asking some magic questions. Right, let's go!" I was perfunctory.
"Oh!" Sha Sa and I continued to rush to Shui Yue House.
Bards were a leisurely and artistic profession, and there were many of them in a rich and artistic city like Saint Grace City. The twelve-stringed zither inlaid with green wind magic crystals was their symbol. The subjects they sang were mostly heroic deeds, hymns of the gods, and love. They could be seen in all the restaurants on the streets and alleys.
As soon as Sha Sa and I entered the three-story Shui Yue building, we were seen by Hong, who was in charge of reception. Today, we were still dressed in red, but we didn't bring our swords. Sha Sa and I were led to a table by the railing. Other than the cool night breeze, we could see a good night view from here. My seat was naturally arranged beside Lin. Sha Sa wanted to sit with me, but she gave up after Hong whispered a few words into her ear. The girls were having a lively conversation, and only Lin and I didn't know what to say. Although I was mentally prepared before coming, I was still extremely embarrassed. From time to time, a few girls would giggle and glance at us. Sha Sa would also cast a curious and strange gaze at us.
" You..." Lin spoke first and asked a brainless question." Master Lucifer, what's the matter?"”
It was a breakthrough after all. The silence just now was too uncomfortable, so I thought it was better to say a few words. "No…nothing. Erm…I'm not used to calling you Young Master. Just call me Yu.”After saying that, she heaved a sigh of relief. She thought that there was actually nothing to be afraid of. Haha.
Joy flashed across Lin's face as she smiled at me. I suddenly felt as if a hundred flowers were blooming in front of my eyes, and my heart jumped. As the saying goes," Looking back with a smile brings forth a hundred charms." As expected, the power of this smile was astonishing! It's not normal for me to be so composed.
"Yeah, Yu, your…the one you treated the patient with…"
"Acupuncture!"
"Yes, where did you learn acupuncture?"
"Oh, it's considered a family heirloom."
"Very impressive!"
"Where? It's nothing!"
"Then where is your home?"
"Oh, this…is very far away!”I couldn't help but look at the night sky.
" Very, very far!?" Lin was very interested in my house." Then…can I go?”Lin looked at me expectantly.
" Hmm…" How should I answer? Tell her that I'm an alien?
"Ah! There are so many beautiful girls here. Please allow me to sing a song for your beauty!”A bard holding a twelve-stringed zither spoke to us in a magnetic voice, attracting the attention of Lin and the others. He was about 20 years old, handsome and tall. Compared to him, I'm a little shorter, and my appearance after disguise is definitely not comparable to his. It's inevitable that I'm a little ashamed of my inferiority in such an occasion.
The girls immediately clapped and cheered. It was indeed a beautiful thing to have beautiful music to listen to while eating. The young bard paid special respects to Lin, then plucked the strings as if he was caressing a lover. As for the content, it was nothing more than a praise for the beauty of the young girl. The tone was not bad. It's not that I want to say it, but the music standards of the people in this world are really limited. However, the people upstairs, especially the young girls, were quite engrossed in listening. How boring! He only drank a few more sips of the beverage. This thing was called Ding Xi. It was quite delicious and tasted very similar to orange juice. Suddenly, I felt a little dizzy. Strange! This feeling is like drinking alcohol. I remember that it's the feeling of drinking alcohol. So Ding Xili contains alcohol! Ever since I was punished for stealing Second Master's Louis Thirteen, I haven't drunk any alcoholic beverages. I felt dizzy and heavy, but I was still awake. I just had an inexplicable urge.
"Alright! Good! It's so nice!" The girls cheered when the song was over.
"Thank you, thank you. It's my great honor to be praised by so many beautiful girls!”Look at her, she's so sweet! The girls were all laughing.
"Young Master, what can I do for you?”The bard asked. All the women looked at me. I'm still unconscious!
"En, you called me?" I was a little surprised. Why did you call me? But there were indeed no men around, so it should be me. He nodded slightly at me. I saw that he seemed to be a little unhappy when he looked at me. It should be because I didn't listen to him play seriously. Very good! Very good! What is it?" I said that he played very well, but no one could hear any sincerity from him.
Bards, on the other hand, had their own ideas. They were known as the " Genius Bards " and thought that the music they played was peerless. Others might not be able to invite them! This person in front of him, who was about the same age as him, was actually unmoved and even perfunctory. It was really detestable! Besides, how could such an ugly boy be worthy of sitting with so many beautiful women? Hmph, he had to make a fool of himself! In this way, he could show off his handsome face and peerless talent in front of these beauties. Thinking of this, the bard smiled proudly.
"It's like this. I think this young master also seems to be proficient in music, so I hope you can teach him more!”
I thought, how did he know that I have some skills in music! The others were also puzzled.
"Alright! Brother Yu, play a song too!”Sha Sa looked at me with admiration. Lin and the others also cast expectant gazes over.
" Oh…" At this moment, I felt a surge of alcohol. I thought, this is not bad! He began to think about what to play.
"Haha! Was there no zither? I'll lend you mine!" The bard generously handed the zither to Xue Yu. Seeing his hesitation, he thought that Xue Yu didn't know how to play it. He thought to himself that he had made a fool of himself! Haha!
"Thank you! No need, I have an instrument!" I refused to use his piano. I still prefer to use the guitar. In the past, I often played it at night to the moon. With a wave of my hand, I held the guitar that had been with me for many years in my Cosmos Ring.
" Eh!!!!" Everyone present was surprised to see this strange instrument.
"Yu, what is this?" Lin asked curiously. The others were also waiting for my answer.
I smiled." Guitar!"
" Guitar!??"
I didn't want to say anything more. After drinking some alcoholic fruit juice, I became sentimental. I thought of a song in a moment and completely ignored the bewildered bard. The music rippled through his fingers.
Don't ask me where I come from,
My hometown is far away.
Why did he wander, wandering far away?
Wandering!
……
There was more, there was more!
And the olive trees in his hometown, the olive trees…
Perhaps the song 'Olive Tree' is a portrait of my heart! Therefore, it vividly displayed its artistic conception, and at the same time, it tugged at the heartstrings of many people present. I also seemed to be intoxicated by it, and my thoughts gradually drifted away…
Below the Water Moon Tower, many pedestrians stopped in their tracks to listen to the heavenly music coming from the Water Moon Tower. In the crowd, a young blonde girl was obsessed with the performance and was about to run to the second floor of the Water Moon Restaurant when she was pulled back by a strong arm. She turned around and saw a tall, cold, and handsome man staring at her.
"Brother…Brother!" The young girl panicked.
"You still have me in your eyes! " You just arrived at Saint Maven and you're already running around. We've been looking for you everywhere, but you…" the man said sternly.
"Brother! I'm just playing for a while! I'm not young anymore! I'll play for a while longer!" the young girl said coquettishly.
"No! I'll go back now! Father will be worried!"
"Brother! I'll go up and see who's playing such a good song!”the young girl said in a sweet voice. The man was a little hesitant and unconsciously let go of the girl.
"Hehe, big brother, come here!" The young girl took the opportunity to escape and ran towards the Water Moon Pavilion.
"Nia!" The man shouted and followed.
Everyone was still immersed in the mood of the music. I had already put away my guitar and found something interesting. A palm-sized glowing thing was flying around me. It was…it was a fairy! That should be right, it was an elf! I focused my attention and looked closely. It was very beautiful! She was just a shrunken beauty! There were also two pairs of transparent wings. Hehe, not bad! As I was thinking, the little thing fell down unsteadily. I quickly reached out a hand to catch her. At this moment, Lin and the others came back to their senses one after another, and the bard was nowhere to be seen.
"Brother Yu, you're amazing! Eh? What is this?" While Sha Sa was praising me, she also saw the sprite in my hand. The other girls also looked over.
"Move aside! Move aside! The capable grandpa is here!" A loud voice startled everyone. Following that, a group of burly men who looked like thugs appeared in front of everyone, followed by many people who were watching the show.
"What are you doing?" Red's temper was the most violent, and he asked in a very dignified manner, which really made those thugs stop moving.
"So it's Miss Hong! Offend! I've offended you!" A small-eyed merchant in a luxurious robe walked out from behind the thugs.
"Deli, why didn't you stay in your 'shop'? Why did you come to Water Moon Restaurant to cause trouble?”Red wasn't polite at all to that person, especially when she said the word 'shop', she seemed angry, but that person still smiled.
"It's nothing. It's just that an elf in my shop ran away and happened to come here!”As he spoke, he looked at me with a smile and said,"Please return it to me!"”
"This is yours?" Hearing him say this, I understood. There were shops in this world that specialized in human trafficking, especially female slaves. There were also 'humans' of other races. The trading of 'goods' like elves, which could allow mages to instantly increase their magic power through master-servant contracts, was even more popular. I opened my hand. The elf was curled up in my palm in an unconscious state. The light on its body was almost invisible. A few girls gathered around and looked at him with pity.
"How pitiful!" Sha Sa said.
"Yes, sir! " Ah..." Deli replied, then scolded a few thugs," Damn, dog slave, I told you to look at a small thing but you can't even look at it properly!" Now, they were all going to die! What's the use of me raising you guys!" The thugs all knelt on the ground.
When Lin heard that the elf was about to die, she wanted to cast a healing spell on her.
"No!" When the man saw that Lin was about to cast a light spell, he shouted,"That's a Dark Elf!"”
Lin hurriedly stopped. Didn't casting the Light Healing Spell on the Dark Elf make her die faster? Lin looked at me, hoping that I would have a solution.
"Haha! A capable boss, right? I want to buy this Dark Elf. I wonder how much it costs!”I turned around and asked.
"You…want to buy it?" He was a little surprised that I wanted to buy a dying Dark Elf.
I nodded to confirm that I really wanted to buy it, then looked at the Dark Elf in my hand.
"Hmm, how about 500 gold coins?" After all, he was a businessman who was about to get into the mood. Deli thought to himself,'Since I'm going to die, I'll just buy it!' They were captured anyway, so the cost was not high. He had hoped to earn some money from her, but most Dark Elf Magicians didn't want her, and he couldn't sell her even after waiting for a long time.
"Yes…"
"450!" You can see that I'm thinking about selling it reluctantly.
"400." I still didn't move.
"350!"
……
"300, no less!" His capable heart was bleeding.
"Oh! Alright, I'm sorry! I was distracted just now. Three hundred? Oh, alright! It's too cheap!" I was thinking of a way to save the Dark Elves and was distracted. When I heard that it was 300 gold coins, I opened my Cosmos Ring and a thousand gold coins fell onto the table.
Deli almost fainted when he saw this. He actually didn't extort a sum of money from such a rich man. In a moment of impatience, he lost 200 gold coins. Hearing Leader Hong's laughter, Deli was so angry that he wanted to die. The smile on his face was gone. He took the 300 gold coins and handed a small bottle to Xue Yu. Then, he went downstairs with his thugs. The small bottle contained the antidote to the poison that suppressed the Dark Elf's magical energy.
I took the bottle and opened it. A fragrance wafted out of the bottle. He placed the bottle next to the Dark Elf and let her inhale the antidote. Of course, she was still on the verge of death. I circulated a ball of True Qi into my palm and wrapped it around the Dark Elf. Just as I expected, the Dark Elf slowly absorbed the True Qi into her body, and the rate at which she absorbed it increased. Gradually, the Dark Elf's body floated in my palm, and the light on her body became brighter and brighter. I focused on transferring my true qi into her body. I quickly circulated my true energy and a powerful stream of air erupted from my body, repelling everything and everyone within two meters of me.
Lin looked at the shining ball of light in panic. Her retreating footsteps were slower than the others. Suddenly, a huge force came at her, and Lin quickly fell back. Red and the others wanted to pull Lin but it was too late. Lin didn't fall badly because someone held her up. It was a cold and handsome blond man, and behind him was a young girl looking ahead.
"Thank you!" Lin said to him.
"Oh! No need!" When the man saw Lin's beautiful face, he was only slightly stunned before he returned to normal. He pointed behind him, indicating for Lin to go to the back. Then, he looked at Xue Yu with burning eyes. The airflow became even more intense. The man did not retreat at all. His entire body was enveloped in a ball of silver battle energy. A strong flash of light, like lightning from the ninth heaven, caused everyone to close their eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he saw that there was a person sitting where the ball of light had been.
"Brother Yu!"
" Yu "," Master Lu Xihua "…A few people rushed forward. It was Sha Sa, Lin, and the others.
Oh my god! Whoosh! I'm so tired! Seventy percent of his True Qi had been absorbed by the Dark Elves.
"Brother Yu, are you alright?" Sha Sa helped me up. Lin also looked at me with concern.
"I'm fine!"
"Brother Yu, where are the elves?"
"Oh! Here!" I took out something. Everyone saw a fist-sized silver-white ball with a smooth surface. "She's sleeping inside!" I explained.”Actually, I also knew that the Dark Elves had evolved, but where did I find the energy to explain it clearly?
"Hey, were you the one who played the song just now?”A golden-haired girl with a graceful figure jumped in front of me. Who else could it be but Miss Nia who was peeping at me while I was bathing? But still keep calm, now I am Yu. Lucifer.
"Yes."
"It's so nice! Can you play another song?" Gnia looked at me.
"I'm sorry. You saw that I'm very tired today.”
" Then..." Nia wanted to say something but was pulled away by the man who had helped Lin up earlier. This person was Nia's older brother, Lagersis. Lagersis looked at me and gave me a knight's salute."May I know your name?"
"Yu. Lucifer, what's the matter?"
"You are very strong. I hope to fight you. Unfortunately, today is obviously not suitable, but I hope you can accept my challenge. We'll fight another day!”
Lagersis's burning gaze made me feel very uncomfortable. How boring! Was this guy like this every time he met a very strong person? Go find whoever wants to play with you! Lin, who was standing at the side, had something to say. I waved my hand to signal her not to interfere.
"I don't accept it!" I casually said. However, the people around me started discussing, and Lin seemed to heave a sigh of relief.
"Are you a coward? You don't dare to accept my challenge!" Lagersis questioned me.
"Whether I'm a coward or not, I know it myself. I don't need to prove anything to others, and I don't need to care about what others say. Moreover, I don't know what reason I have to fight you, and what reason do you have to make me fight you?”
"Do you need a reason?"
"Of course! What reason do you have?"
"You…you…you have insulted the honor of being a martial artist!”Lagersis was a little angry.
"Firstly, I am not a martial artist as you call me. Second, your so-called glory is not only worthless to me, but also a heavy burden. I don't need it. Actually, I don't want to say anything to you. It's a waste of time.”My words made Lagersis so angry that he trembled and his face turned ashen.
I turned to Lin and said,"Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Lin!" Let's go!" He pulled Sha Sa and went downstairs. He gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Our duel is just a waste of my time, isn't it? Lord Lagersis." A familiar voice sounded in Lagersis 'ears. He was…
"Haha! Hahaha!" Lagersis laughed wildly." It's him! Ha…it's him!"
