Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 48 A breath of fresh air amidst the adverse situation!
At the tavern in the town, Fang Xu knocked on the door. After he announced that a distinguished guest wanted to drink the most authentic maple leaf wine, the owner of the tavern timidly brought out all the best maple leaf wine in his collection and had people prepare some exquisite side dishes.

Fang Xu diligently broke the mud seal on the wine jar, poured a bowl for Li Xun, and then poured some for Yun Wan and himself.

"I don't know how to drink." Yun Wan directly refused the wine bowl in front of her and said lightly.

Li Xun held the bowl and sniffed the aroma of the wine intoxicatedly, then glanced at Yun Wan and sneered, "Such a fine wine, since my sister doesn't like it, Fang Xu, drink with me, the prince."

Upon hearing this, Fang Xu quickly picked up the wine in front of him and bowed, saying, "Cheers, Prince."

Li Xun was stunned for a moment and looked at him and said, "If ordinary people see this prince, I'm afraid they can't even stand. You are really interesting."

Fang Xu's expression changed slightly and he immediately smiled and said, "Please forgive me, my lord. I think that meeting each other is fate, and if we are destined to be together, we will be friends, so..."

"Friend?" Li Xun said with a playful smile, "You are a lowly person, and you also want to be friends with this prince?"

"This... Please forgive me, Your Highness. I spoke out of turn!" Fang Xu quickly put down the bowl in his hand and apologized fearfully.

"Alright, there are many servants who kowtow in front of this prince, but you are an exception. This prince does not blame you. Come and have a drink!"

After hearing this, Fang Xu stood up, picked up the wine in front of him and drank it in one gulp.

Seeing that Li Xun had finished the wine in the bowl, he quickly immersed his consciousness into the depths of his sea of ​​​​consciousness, and sure enough, he saw that there was one more friend on the friend list.

Friend 75: Zhongzhou Li Xun (%)
After the deaths of Wang Erhu, Chu Li, and Wu Ningxue, Fang Xu's friend list dropped from nine people to six.

These six people were the landlords and powerful people in Fenglin Town who were invited by Lu Zhiyuan when the Blood Food Shop opened that day.

Now that such a long time has passed, the "health points" behind these people's names have dropped to about 20%.

After many days, there are finally new people in the friend list.

It turns out that this person’s name is Li Xun.

"I am talking to you!"

Fang Xu was immersed in his sea of ​​consciousness observing his friend list when he heard a cold voice ringing in his ears. He immediately shivered and bowed, "Please forgive me, my lord. I have never drunk such a good wine before. I was a little intoxicated for a while."

Hearing him say this, Li Xun sneered and said, "This maple leaf wine can't be considered a good wine, it just has a unique flavor."

"If there is a chance, this prince will take you to Zhongzhou to taste the real immortal wine."

"Don't just stand there, pour the wine!"

Fang Xu hurriedly picked up the jar of wine and filled it for him again.

On the side, Yun Wan looked at Fang Xu's servile appearance, turned her head away with some disgust, and chewed the side dishes on the table.

The drinking lasted for half an hour before Li Xun stood up with satisfaction and looked at Yun Wan and said, "Where do you live, sister? Do you want me to take you there?"

Yun Wan bowed slightly: "I dare not trouble you, my lord. Wan'er will stay at the inn next door."

Li Xun curled his lips when he heard this, turned his head and glanced at Fang Xu who was already drunk: "Go to the government office early tomorrow to wait for this prince, if you are late, I will kill you!"

Fang Xu, who was lying on the table, raised his head dazedly and said, "Yes!"

Li Xun left.

Yun Wan looked at Fang Xu lying on the table, then looked at the more than ten jars of wine that had been drunk. She took out a finger-sized gold coin from her belt and threw it to the owner of the wine shop, saying, "Is that enough?"

The shop owner nodded repeatedly: "That's enough! Thank you, Miss!"

After paying for the wine, she was hesitating about how to get Fang Xu back, but she saw Fang Xu slowly raise his head, without any sign of drunkenness on his face.

"Are you pretending?" Yun Wan said in surprise.

Fang Xu bowed his hands and smiled: "Of course I can't steal the limelight from the prince."

Li Xun was really tipsy. If he continued drinking, he would be the first to fall down.

And if I really get him drunk, he will undoubtedly see his ugly appearance, and when he sobers up, he might kill me directly.

So he pretended to be drunk and let Li Xun get the upper hand.

"You..." Yun Wan seemed to understand Fang Xu's thoughts, and said with a helpless smile: "Since you are not drunk, let's go."

The two of them walked out of the tavern one after the other. The cool night breeze blew, and Fang Xu, who was walking behind Yun Wan, could vaguely smell the faint fragrance coming from her body.

This scent is not like the cheap rouge scent on Wang's body.

"I have always felt that you are not a flatterer who knows how to kowtow."

Yun Wan suddenly stopped and turned around to speak.

Fang Xu followed behind him, paused slightly, and bowed, saying, "Miss Yun misunderstood. No one likes to kowtow."

"But in the face of life, everything is cheap." After witnessing the tragic deaths of the common people in the town during the day, Fang Xu knew that in the eyes of a big man like Li Xun, the lives of ordinary people were not lives at all.

If the other party wanted to kill me, it would not be any more difficult than killing a chicken.

"Can……"

Yun Wan seemed to want to say something, but when the words came to her lips, she felt that she couldn't say anything.

"Ms. Yun, with your noble status, you may never know how difficult life is for ordinary people like us."

"Wang Ergou was an ordinary commoner in Fenglin Town. He had a younger brother who was a soldier in the palace. He should have lived a comfortable life for the rest of his life, but he encountered a witch while farming at the foot of the mountain and lost his life."

"Wang Erhu, spent all his family wealth to become a martial artist, became a palace soldier, and eventually died tragically in the mountains..."

"That night, Fenglin Town was attacked. The people in the town probably didn't even know anything, and they were killed in vain!"

"And today, dozens of people in the town were hacked to death on the entire street simply because they were a little slow to evade!"

"This... is the fate of us, the lowly people..."

Fang Xu smiled miserably, then shook his head and bowed, saying, "I am just talking nonsense after drinking, Miss, please don't take it to heart."

"Farewell."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Looking at Fang Xu's back getting farther and farther away, Yun Wan had a complicated expression and never moved.

a long time--

"This is a cannibalistic world. Who can stay out of it?"

"I hope you can remain consistent and become a clear stream against the trend."

It was almost midnight when Fang Xu returned home from the street. He took a deep breath, patted his clothes, and straightened his back.

"I still don't like to bend down and be a human being." He laughed at himself in his heart, then came to Chu Mu's room and knocked on the door gently.

"Mu, are you asleep?"

"Brother Fang Xu, come in." Chu Mu's voice rang out in the house.

Fang Xu pushed the door open and saw the girl was still sitting in the wheelchair. He was a little surprised and said, "Why are you still sitting here? It's cold. Go to bed quickly."

As he spoke, he bent down and picked up Chu Mu.

"Brother Fang Xu, we haven't had the massage yet." Chu Mu said softly.

Fang Xu was stunned for a moment, and immediately put her on the bed, gently rubbed her forehead and said, "Wait, I'll go boil some water for you."

Chu Mu nodded obediently.

In the room, Fang Xu gently kneaded the pair of delicate jade feet, but he was thinking about how to deal with what happened next.

"Brother Fang Xu, have you been drinking?" Smelling the strong smell of alcohol, Chu Mu asked with his head tilted.

"Ah."

"Mu, during this period of time, you...try not to even leave your room."

"Just close the door if you're fine."

Fang Xu remembered clearly what Yun Wan had said. Li Xun must be a lustful man. If he met Chu Mu, who knows what might happen.

"Don't worry, Brother Fang Xu. Mu knows." Chu Mu responded gently.

Looking at the girl's pretty face, Fang Xu said apologetically, "I'm sorry for putting you through this."

Making her stay in the room all day without going out is like being in prison.

But this was also a last resort, as he did not have the ability to challenge Li Xun or the royal family now.

"What is Brother Fang Xu talking about? Mu knows that brother is protecting me."

"Don't worry, Mu understands."

Fang Xu nodded, patted her fair feet gently and said, "Okay, go to sleep."

After covering her with the quilt, Fang Xu went straight back to his room, seizing every opportunity to practice.
