My timeless tavern

Chapter 360 Lin Daiyu

The girl was not very old, and her face showed a look of self-pity, which made people feel pity for her.

She spoke in a calm tone, with a hint of sadness and calmness.

Hearing her words, many people looked over and the tavern became eerily quiet for a moment.

Xiaolongnu and Huang Rong looked at each other in surprise.

Originally, they thought that the girl who put her hand into Zhu Bajie's nose was a master who was no weaker than the other one.

Now judging from what she said, could it be that she is just an ordinary person?

If they were really extraordinary beings, they would not regard this place as the underworld.

For someone like Sun Wukong, going in and out of the underworld is just like going home.

Ying Yinman also blinked, turned her head and said to Xiaobai: "This little girl looks very pitiful!"

Xiaobai nodded and said sympathetically: "She seems to be in a bad mood."

"Underworld? How could this be the underworld!" Sun Wukong shouted.

He came up to the little girl, pointed at his nose, and asked, "Do you know who I am?"

With Zhu Bajie's shock, the girl was not so scared when she saw the long-faced monkey. She tilted her head to look at it and frowned, saying, "Does the underworld also take in monkeys?"

"Hey! You little girl!" Sun Wukong pointed at her and shook his head, "When I went to the underworld, even the King of Hell had to bow down to me. How dare they take me in?!"

Zhu Bajie also stepped forward and said, "This is the Monkey King Sun Wukong who once caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace!"

He said with a smile: "Little girl, you are so lucky to be here. It is incomparable to the underworld or heaven!"

The girl looked at them both in confusion.

Of course she had heard of the Monkey King.

Not long ago, she also watched the opera troupe perform "Sun Wukong Makes Trouble in Heaven".

"Are you Zhu Bajie?" She stared at the pig demon in front of her.

Zhu Bajie chuckled and said proudly: "It seems that my reputation is not bad!"

The girl was startled, and the sadness on her face faded a lot. She looked at the two and said, "Are you really Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie?"

"It's genuine!" Zhu Bajie held his head high and chest out, revealing his big belly.

"And me, little sis!"

The girl turned her head and saw a child who was just taller than her chest.

The child was wearing a red bellyband and had a spiked mane. He looked mischievous and was looking at himself with a smile.

She asked suspiciously, "Are you... Red Boy?"

"What Red Boy? I am Nezha!" Nezha said with an unhappy look on his face.

"Ah, you are Nezha!" the girl exclaimed.

"Hey, have you heard of me?" Nezha's anger turned into joy.

The girl asked suspiciously, "Where are your Fire Spear and Fire Wheels?"

She was the only daughter in the family, and her father raised her almost as his own son. He hired a teacher for her in her early years. She had some knowledge of the Four Books and Five Classics, and had read a lot of miscellaneous books.

She had also heard of the name Nezha.

Hearing that the girl even knew about the Fire Spear and the Wind-Fire Wheels, Nezha laughed excitedly.

"Then let me show you!"

Suddenly, flames appeared under his feet, and then he was lifted into the air by the Wind Fire Wheels, and a flaming spear appeared in his hand.

Feeling the air around her suddenly become hot, the girl's eyes widened.

She pinched her thigh quietly.

It hurts.

Not an illusion!

"Let me show you my other form." Nezha raised his head and his body shape suddenly changed.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed from a mischievous little kid into a handsome young man.

The girl was stunned.

Seeing her dumbfounded expression, Xiaotian Dog also squeezed over and said excitedly, "It's my turn."

Nezha rolled his eyes in annoyance and was called back by Madam Yin.

The girl was attracted by the voice of Roaring Sky Dog.

She stared at the other person and asked cautiously, "Who are you?"

Roaring Sky Dog said proudly: "Guess whose dog I am?"

Li Yunlong almost spit out the wine in his mouth.

Zhao Gang glared at him and signaled him to stay calm.

Even a laughing dog depends on its owner.

What's more, this dog is no ordinary dog. In their world, it is powerful enough to become the dog emperor who rules the world.

Tony, who hadn't been to the pub for several days, couldn't help laughing.

The others had similar expressions.

Even the girl looked confused, thinking she had heard it wrong.

Roaring Sky Dog didn't care at all.

He urged, "Guess quickly, there's a reward if you guess correctly."

"Are you a dog?" the girl asked tentatively.

"Nonsense, have you ever seen such a handsome man?" Xiao Tian Dog just said that, but then he felt something was wrong and said, "Except my master."

"Hmm?" Chenxiang looked at him.

"Hehe, I was just kidding." When Xiaotian Dog noticed that many people were staring at him, he quickly changed his words, "I'm not that handsome!"

"I am not a dog."

There are many people here whom he cannot afford to offend.

The most important thing is that the owner of the tavern is a human being.

The girl was shocked.

She was thinking in her heart.

He dared to interrupt Nezha openly, and he was calm in front of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie...

"Are you Erlang Shen's Sky-Roaring Dog?" she asked.

"Haha, you have good taste!" Roaring Sky Dog said proudly, "As a reward, I can grant you one wish."

He had long seen that the girl was just an ordinary mortal.

To the great Lord Roaring Sky Dog, fulfilling a small wish of a mortal is really a trivial matter.

His experiences in the Three Kingdoms world during those few days are still fresh in his memory.

The fearful and respectful looks of those influential ministers and generals when facing him made him secretly excited for a long time.

"Tell me, what is your wish?" Roaring Sky Dog urged.

He secretly hoped that it would be best if he could make a grand wish, such as becoming a queen, so that he could go to another world and show off his power again.

The girl suddenly looked up at him, her eyes full of expectation: "Can you make any wish?"

“Dang…” Howling Sky Dog opened his mouth, but felt something was wrong.

What if she wants to eat dog meat?
Or maybe she wanted a glass of Beyond Limits wine or something, but she couldn't get it herself.

"As long as it is within my ability." He softened his tone and silently corrected his own boast.

The girl suddenly knelt on the ground and choked up, "Please, Master Xiaotian, save my father."

"Get up quickly." Xiaotian Dog quickly helped the girl up with both hands.

If I kneel down to myself, how will others view me as a dog?

"Is your father sick?" Ying Yinman, who had been silent, interrupted.

Seeing the girl looking over, Xiaotian Dog introduced: "This is Princess Yin Man."

Hearing the respect in Xiaotian Dog's words, the girl was secretly surprised, thinking that this could be the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven. Dongfang Bubai smiled and introduced: "Yin Man is the eldest princess of the First Emperor Ying Zheng."

"The First Emperor?" the girl was surprised.

When Ying Yin Man heard her words, she smiled and said, "Those two are Emperor Taizong of Tang and Emperor Taizu of Song."

The girl turned her head and looked.

Li Shimin and Zhao Kuangyin nodded at her.

Only then did the girl face the series of images that had flashed through her hazy mind earlier.

She originally thought that this was all an illusion, but she didn't expect that everything was real.

Here we have the Monkey King, Erlang Shen’s dog, the First Emperor, and the Emperors of Tang and Song…

If that's the case, can my father really be saved?

Ying Yinman brought up the previous topic again and asked, "What happened to your father?"

The slight surprise in the girl's heart was once again replaced by sadness.

She nodded first, then shook her head, her eyes red as she said, "My father was seriously ill... He is gone..."

"Just died?" Xiaobai asked.

The girl glanced at her sister who was so beautiful that she looked unreal, nodded, and looked at the few people expectantly.

Gods should have a way to bring people back to life, right?
"That's good." Xiaotian Dog breathed a sigh of relief.

The girl said with expectation: "Do you have a solution?"

“If he just died, it’s not a big problem.” Xiaotian Dog said and scratched his head again.

If the master is willing to help, this matter will be a piece of cake.

Even if the master is not allowed to do it, as long as he asks Taishang Laojun for a soul-restoring elixir, supplemented with some fine wine that can strengthen the physique, it will be enough to restore him to his original state.

But Taishang Laojun is not so easy to talk to.

Faced with the girl's hopeful eyes, Xiaotian Dog was too embarrassed to know what to say, and his brain was working frantically to think of a solution.

Xiao Yan, who was chatting with Zhang Xiaofan, stood up and said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, little sister."

He stretched out his hand, and a porcelain bottle appeared in his palm.

"Feed this pill to your father and it will keep him safe." Xiao Yan said.

The girl hesitated: "Who are you?"

Roaring Sky Dog said: "This is the Flame Emperor Xiao Yan."

The girl was a little confused.

Is Emperor Yan called Xiao Yan?
Ying Yinman guessed her thoughts and explained, "Emperor Yan lives in a very special world. People there practice fighting spirit and can refine all kinds of powerful elixirs. In that world, he is the combination of Tathagata Buddha and the Jade Emperor."

The girl understood now.

This is a truly amazing person.

She quickly took the bottle that flew in front of her with both hands and was about to thank him, but she felt her body being supported by a gentle force and she couldn't even bend down.

"It's just a small matter, don't be polite to me," Xiao Yan said with a smile, "When I first entered the tavern, I was not much better than you."

He said this out of modesty, of course.

When he first entered the tavern, he could kill a hundred of these fragile little girls with just one finger.

But compared to himself now, he was indeed no different from an ordinary person at that time.

"Thank you...thank you." The girl held the porcelain bottle tightly in her hands and said gratefully.

Xiao Yan smiled and asked, "What's your little sister's name?"

The little girl was a beauty at a young age, but he had no other thoughts. He just felt that her gentle and fragile temperament was inexplicably familiar.

The others looked over as well.

Even Xun'er, who was whispering with Lu Xueqi, turned her head to look.

"My last name is Lin, and my given name is Daiyu." The girl said softly.

"Lin Daiyu?" Xiao Yan, who had already retracted his gaze, could not help but turn back again.

Ying Yinman and the others were surprised.

"Your father's name is Lin Ruhai?" Xiao Yan asked.

"You know my father?" Lin Daiyu was surprised.

She suddenly suspected that her ability to enter such a magical place was related to her father.

Xiao Yan shook his head and looked around.

Several emperors, as well as Xiaobai, Xiaolongnu, Huang Rong and others all looked puzzled.

Xu Wenqiang, Huang Feihong, An Xin, Xu Sanduo and others showed surprised expressions, obviously they had heard of Lin Daiyu's name.

He silently withdrew his gaze and shook his head, "I don't know your father."

"How is your father now?" he asked.

Lin Daiyu briefly described the situation at home.

Her mother died early, and her father raised her alone.

Although her father hired a teacher to teach her, she was not a man after all, and there was no precedent for women to take the imperial examinations in the court.

So as she grew older, her father sent her to live with her grandmother in Rongguo Mansion.

She had many brothers and sisters there, so her life was not boring. But a few days ago, she suddenly received a letter from her father informing her that he was seriously ill, so she hurried back.

Who would have expected that this trip would mean the difference between life and death.

In the past few days, she has been serving her father by his bedside, hoping to see him get better, but the result is that his condition has become worse.

She was so tired yesterday that she fell asleep without realizing it. When she woke up, she received the sad news that her father had passed away.

Seeing that her father had indeed stopped breathing, she fainted from crying on the spot.

In a daze, she heard the invitation to the tavern and came here unknowingly.

"I thought it was a call from King Yama, or it was my hallucination, but I didn't expect this to be real!" There was an indescribable sense of relief in Lin Daiyu's tone.

If she had been scared away by Zhu Bajie at the very beginning, she couldn't imagine how great an opportunity she would have missed.

"Of course this is real," Xiaotian Dog, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly came over with a glass of wine and handed it to Lin Daiyu, saying, "With the elixir of Emperor Yan, your father will wake up naturally. There is no need for me to do anything. This glass of wine is compensation."

He didn't dare ask Lin Daiyu to make a wish again.

What if she wants to resurrect her mother?
Her mother had been dead for quite some time, so it was possible for her to be resurrected, but the loss would certainly be considerable.

It would be better to use this cup of God's Gene Wine to shut her up, so that everyone in the tavern will know that I am a good man who keeps my word!
Just don’t pretend to be cool anymore.

Roaring Sky Dog thought to himself.

Five thousand time and space coins are not a small amount of money for him.

"It's enough to have the elixir, no need..."

Lin Daiyu had just said halfway through her refusal when Roaring Sky Dog stuffed a whole glass of wine into her hands.

Looking at the wine glass in her hand, she felt helpless, yet also a little tempted.

She was in a daze before and didn't know much about the tavern, so naturally she didn't know what kind of energy was contained in this glass of wine.

But the hope of bringing his father back to life is right in front of him. At this time, it seems that he should drink some fine wine to express his joy.

"Drink it." Ying Yinman smiled and said, "This glass of wine is similar to the wine you drank before..."

Then she thought that the other person was young and might not have drunk alcohol before, so she added: "Or other tea drinks, they are all different."

Lin Daiyu glanced down.

The transparent crystal glass felt icy cool in my hand, the wine was clear as water, and the faint aroma of wine lingered in my nostrils. It was indeed different from the wine my father had tasted secretly.

She nodded, thanked Xiaotian Dog, and brought the wine glass to her lips.

As the sweet wine enters your mouth, the tempting aroma immediately blooms on the tip of your tongue.

Lin Daiyu squinted her eyes in enjoyment.

Thinking that her father was still waiting for her, she simply drank the rest of the wine.

She wiped her mouth like a hero in the book and was about to say that she was going back when she suddenly felt a warm feeling spreading in her abdomen.
