Legend of the Dragon King

Chapter 477 Must come back alive!

On the outskirts of the capital, the headquarters of the Dragon King Hall.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a shocking thunder, dazzling white lightning flashed across the sky, and dense drizzle also fell from the sky one after another.

It's raining.

Xiang Mantang got out of the car without an umbrella, but when the heavy rain fell around him, he was automatically moved aside by an invisible force.

Gao Yu, who came out with an umbrella, was really envious watching this scene.

Letting Gao Yu go to work by himself, Xiang Mantang walked back to his office and started to boil water to make tea.

"Dong dong."

Xiang Mantang had just finished making tea when there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in." Xiang Mantang continued to make tea without raising his head.

The door opened, and an elegant and cool fragrance wafted over.

"What's up?"

A cold voice sounded beside him.

Xiang Mantang looked sideways at Jian Ruyan's fair cheeks, his face was still expressionless.

"Sit down, have a sip of tea first." Xiang Mantang raised his hand to the opposite chair, and then made a cup of tea for Jian Ruyan.

"Do you have something on your mind?" Jian Ruyan took the tea from Xiang Mantang, took a sip, and then asked with a frown.

Xiang Mantang has long been used to not showing his emotions and anger, unless it is a major event that can disturb his mood, ordinarily people will not be able to see his thoughts from the subtle expressions on his face.

However, the tea ceremony is about pleasing emotions and cultivating sentiments. From washing tea, brewing, sealing pots, dividing cups, dividing pots, serving tea, smelling incense, and tasting tea, one's mood can be gradually improved, and one's mood can be improved gradually. The mind permeates with the fragrance of tea, as if merging with the universe and sublimating to the realm of "selflessness".

Drinkers can also feel the tranquility, serenity and inaction.

But the cup of tea that Xiang Mantang handed over was far from his normal level, the tea soup was bitter and difficult to drink, so Jian Ruyan instantly understood that Xiang Mantang had something on his mind.

And it is still a big event that affects him.

Hearing Jian Ruyan's words, Xiang Mantang was startled, then raised his head to meet her shining eyes, smiled lightly, and said, "You can see it all."

"What's the matter that you asked me to come here?" Jian Ruyan asked straightforwardly, instead of going around with Xiang Mantang.

Xiang Mantang didn't speak, and took a sip of tea first, and found that it was really bad, so he understood why Jian Ruyan could tell right away.

With a wry smile, Xiang Mantang put down the teacup, spread his palms flat on his knees, looked at Jian Ruyan, and said, "I have something to ask you, I hope you can agree."

"What's the matter?" Jian Ruyan frowned, and promised him without saying anything.

Xiang Mantang sighed lightly, and said indifferently: "I'm going to go out for a while. I heard people say it's dangerous, and the chance of coming back is relatively low. If I fail to come back, the Dragon King Hall will be in your charge. I hope you Can help me take good care of senior brother and his family..."

"I don't want it!" Jian Ruyan directly refused, "Let Hongchen help you, I want to go there with you!"

"Don't be impulsive, you don't need to be like this." Xiang Mantang listened to Jian Ruyan's words, his expression was very calm, and he didn't show any surprise or emotion.

Because he had already guessed that Jian Ruyan would answer like this.

Therefore, there is also a way to deal with it, knowing how to persuade.

Xiang Mantang propped his hands on the table, looked at Jian Ruyan calmly, and said softly: "First of all, although it is dangerous there, I may not be in an accident. After all, I am now a person who holds a pill warrior, a land fairy, etc. , just in case something happens, so I explain this to you..."

"Secondly, if it's really dangerous over there and I can't come back, you can go with me. It's just an extra life, it's meaningless at all, and the most important thing is that you asked Mu Hongchen to help manage the Dragon King Hall , Do you think it's realistic?!"

Xiang Mantang said softly: "Mu Hongchen has abilities, but her strength is not enough. If an accident happens to us together over there, with her strength, she will not be able to hold down the Dragon King Hall at all, let alone protect the land of Shenzhou, and she will be easily attacked by foreign enemies." Invasion!"

"So, I can only wrong you." Xiang Mantang sighed.

"I..." Jian Ruyan pursed her lips, her face was still expressionless, but her beautiful eyes, which were originally clear, darkened, and showed a complex and tangled look.

Obviously, she didn't want to take the overall situation into consideration and shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Dragon King Hall, she just wanted to protect Xiang Mantang.

"Do me this favor, don't you want me to leave regretfully?" Xiang Mantang looked at Jian Ruyan, sighed, and said.

Although saying this, some people used Jian Ruyan's inexplicable feelings for him to kidnap her to help him, but Xiang Mantang really couldn't do anything about it. If the current Dragon King Hall can shoulder the heavy responsibility after he leaves, except Jian Ruyan Ruyan is Wuthirteen.

But although Wu Shisan was brought up by the old Dragon King, he was almost like an adopted son, and he had never been with Shen Cangsheng and others before, but he still couldn't trust this guy.

"I..." Jian Ruyan trembled delicately, showing the endless entanglement and unwillingness in her heart.

Finally, under Xiang Mantang's pleading eyes, she finally sighed and said: "I know, I will definitely protect the Dragon King Palace!"

"Thank you."

Hearing Jian Ruyan's answer, Xiang Mantang felt relieved. If Jian Ruyan didn't agree, then he really... can only let Wu Shisan to take up the heavy responsibility.

Right now, this is a better solution, and he can go to Babylon to find the lost Garden of Eden and the legendary tree of life.

Afterwards, Xiang Mantang told Jian Ruyan in detail about the inner workings of the Dragon King Hall. Jian Ruyan was aware of these things, but she never cared about them before.

So he had to remind Jian Ruyan.

Jian Ruyan listened absent-mindedly, with a disappointed expression.

After Xiang Mantang finished speaking, he said softly: "Okay, that's all you need to pay attention to, and nothing else. If there is any trouble that you don't understand, you can discuss it with Hong Chen. I'll go first. Take care of your health. I'll take care of you." During the period of absence, the Dragon King Palace will be handed over to you to manage, and wait for me to come back."

Jian Ruyan also got up, reluctantly sending him away.

Xiang Mantang glanced at Jian Ruyan, turned around and walked towards the door.

Jian Ruyan pursed her lips, let out a last breath, walked over and hugged Xiang Mantang, leaning her head gently on his back.

Xiang Mantang's body tensed up immediately, and then he relaxed again, without turning his head, he said in a relaxed and indifferent tone: "Ruyan, don't make it like a farewell to death, I'm not going to die, I'm just going to see the situation, if Nothing can be done, and I will not die in vain..."

Jian Ruyan rested her head on Xiang Mantang's strong back, her eyes were dazed and helpless, she didn't listen to what he said, and whispered softly: "Cousin, I really don't want you to take risks, even though it's a very good idea. Selfish, you don't like to hear it, but I really... don't want you to risk your life..."

Her voice was not as cold and indifferent as usual, only helpless and sad, like a lost little girl who couldn't find her way home.

Xiang Mantang stood at the same place, listening to Jian Ruyan's murmur, always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, not the voice, not the words, but her tone, which seemed familiar...

"You must come back alive, otherwise I will never forgive you!" Jian Ruyan murmured, and finally let go of her hand, pushing Xiang Mantang away.
