Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 739: Kiss in the Sky

Today was undoubtedly a wonderful experience for Xiao Wanjun.

The two of them walked in the air together, speaking words that almost no one in the world could understand, but they could understand each other instantly.

It was as if an invisible barrier rose up, isolating all the noise around them and creating a small world that belonged to just the two of them.

Gu Xu walked slowly towards her, put his arm around her waist, and gently held her face with his other hand.

"Yan'er, you may not know," he said softly, "In the past, when I was with you in the imperial study, it was not easy for me to resist touching you."

At this moment, the tips of their noses were touching, and there was nothing else in their eyes except each other.

Xiao Wanjun was slightly stunned.

Is it possible that a powerful monk like Your Majesty would sometimes lose control of himself?
Was he expressing his true feelings, or was he just saying sweet words to make her happy?
She didn't have time to think about it.

The next moment, his lips locked with hers.

A strand of hair fell in front of his forehead, blocking her view, as if night had fallen and the stars and the moon were dim.

She only felt that she was falling dizzily into a darkness deeper than the long night in the wilderness, and her mind was blank.

All five senses seemed to be stripped away, and the only clear feeling was the soft and warm touch between the lips.

When their lips parted, she found herself leaning limply in Gu Xu's arms.

The city of Luojing at your feet has long since disappeared, replaced by rolling mountains, winding rivers, deep woods and vast farmlands.

It is his vast empire.

"You have returned from the 'Cang Yao World', and we haven't had time to arrange a celebration banquet for you. Today, I will take you to eat something delicious and reward our heroes of Da Xia," Gu Xu smiled slightly and asked, "What do you want to eat? Youzhou's shabu-shabu mutton, Jiangnan's vinegar fish, Shu's hot pot, or Liangzhou's stewed pancakes..."

"Hot pot," Xiao Wanjun answered without hesitation, "I want to eat hot pot, the spiciest kind."

Normally, she was actually quite afraid of eating spicy peppers, and would often cry because of the spiciness... But for some reason, perhaps because Gu Xu was by her side, she felt fearless today.

"Okay." Gu Xu's smile became even more intense. "It seems we have the same idea."

The two men walked on the clouds as if they were walking on flat ground. In a flash, they crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and arrived at a small county town in Shu.

During the six months that Xiao Wanjun had been away from the Great Wilderness, Gong Yu, the "Star God of Heaven" who had regained his body, took on the important task of constructing the "Qingdu Fantasy" together with Luo Chuan and Wang Jian.

Thanks to their joint efforts, the "Qingdu Order" has now been widely popularized throughout the country.

When Gu Xu and Xiao Wanjun were walking on the streets of the county town, practitioners holding tokens would pass 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" in order to exchange for the latest quarterly theme costume "Conqueror of Another World".

Xiao Wanjun couldn't help but smile at the scene in front of him. 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 restaurant was bustling with people, and the aroma overflowed from the narrow space and could be smelled from afar. Under Gu Xu's "cause and effect" authority, no one recognized their identities, and everyone just treated them as ordinary diners.

The two even waited in line for a while before they got a table in the corner.

While waiting for the food to be served, there was a lot of discussion in the store.

An old man with silver hair sitting not far away spoke slowly, his eyes revealing the vicissitudes of life: "Alas, I remember the last time the long night fell, I lived in this remote small county town, how could I dare to go out casually. At that time, ghosts often took the opportunity to invade, not only was my life in danger, but even having a full meal was a luxury. It's not like now, I can eat this hot pot peacefully."

"Yes," a middle-aged man at the same table echoed, "In the past few years since your majesty took office, the Great Wilderness has changed dramatically. Compared to now, the Great Qi period was like living in the underworld. I lived in fear every day. I really don't know how I survived."

At the same time, a young man waiting in line outside the store was complaining to his companions: "Such a remote store, but the business is so hot, it's really thanks to the 'Qingdu Fantasy'! Since the boss advertised in the fantasy, many practitioners have come here despite the long journey. Plus, the taste is really good... Now every time I come, I have to queue for half a day! The boss is really stingy, he is not willing to rent a bigger store and hire more people."

"By the way, speaking of 'Qingdu Fantasy', have you seen the newly launched 'Jiuyao Fuzhen Pills', 'Xuanming Po'e Pills' and 'Zhuyuan Ningpo Pills'?" A monk from the Exorcist Department who was waiting in line interrupted, "These pills were specially made by the people sent by the court to explore the 'Cangyao World'. They use the rare materials brought back. They have the effect of assisting enlightenment and nourishing the soul. Now they can be exchanged for 'Xiahuang Coins' in the 'Qingdu Fantasy', and the price is not expensive."

"The times are really different now," his colleague beside him sighed, "It's not like the old days of Da Qi, when resources were so scarce that you had to fight to the death to slay demons for a pill. If you weren't careful, you could lose your life."

"Damn it, we lost again!" A cultivator angrily threw down the "Qingdu Order" in his hand and cursed: "These damn teammates, do they have any brains? They just charge forward without thinking, and fell into the opponent's strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain. They didn't even notice that the flag of the base was secretly pulled out!

"I always run into such stupid teammates. How can I ever be promoted to the 'Xuan' level and get the 'Conqueror of Another World' in my lifetime? I was just a little bit short of getting the 'Glorious Era' last quarter..."

"..."

"Cheers to prosperity!"

"Cheers to His Majesty!"

"Long live Daxia! Long live His Majesty!"

"..."

Gu Xu looked at the scene of people toasting and drinking at the next table, and thought to himself: So in their hearts, the golden age has already arrived?
When he turned around, the hot pot was already on the table.

In the mist, the fiery red soup is bubbling, with a layer of bright red peppers and fragrant Sichuan peppercorns floating on the surface of the soup, and a strong spicy taste hits your nose.

The fat slices of meat in the pot are shiny and juicy, the bright red shrimp shells become even brighter in the boiling soup, and the white and tender tofu absorbs the soup and sways gently with the ripples on the soup.

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 boiled in the pot for too long, it will become tough and the taste will be bad. I fished it out for you in advance."

Just as Gu Xu was about to reach for his chopsticks, he suddenly noticed that there was some oil on Xiao Wanjun's hands, her fingertips were slightly red, and they seemed to be curled up unnaturally.

He held her hand and asked, "What's wrong with your hand?"

Xiao Wanjun was slightly startled, lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, and said softly: "I was peeling the shrimp...but my technique was not good, the shrimp was too hot, and my hand was burned."

Gu Xu glanced at her bowl and there was no trace of shrimp in it.

When he looked down again, he found that the peeled shrimps had already been quietly placed in his bowl.

The pink and tender shrimp meat soaked in red oil exudes bursts of fresh fragrance, which is particularly tempting.
