Chapter 218 I Want to Follow You
Ji's house, courtyard.
The flowers and plants in the pots come back to life!
Even many great practitioners cannot accomplish this kind of miracle, unless they cultivate the wood element among the five elements and their skills are related to it.
Lu Xun put the green bead back into the scabbard. The scabbard made a "pop" sound and sucked the green bead firmly, tightly.
He looked down at Ji Li beside him and suddenly thought: "It turns out that when people are happy and surprised, there really is light in their eyes."
There is light in Ji Li's eyes at this moment!
Ji Li looked at the flowers and plants in front of her and tentatively stretched out her fair little hand to touch them, but when she was about to touch them, she quickly retracted her hand.
"What's wrong? Are you afraid of damaging them?" Lu Xun said with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Ji Li actually nodded.
He looked at Ji Li and asked, "You don't think this is an illusion, do you?"
"Ah? Isn't it?" Ji Li looked up at Lu Xun.
Lu Xun: “…”
Sure enough, this girl definitely traded her brain for breasts!
Lu Xun pointed out, "Don't you smell the fragrance of the flowers?"
"Eh?" Ji Li was stunned for a moment, then realized, "Eh!!!"
Only then did she realize that everything before her eyes was not an illusion, but real!
She couldn't understand how Lu Xun did this. This shouldn't be something that Lu Xun could do with his level of cultivation.
But this does not affect her personal joy from being sublimated again!
She carefully stretched out her fingers and gently touched the petals, then turned her head to look at Lu Xun, with an expression of surprise and excitement on her face, her little mouth slightly open, and her eyes shining like stars!
Lu Xun looked at her with a gentle smile on his face, but he was thinking in his heart: "She thought it was an illusion, so she didn't dare to touch it. She was afraid of destroying this beauty, and it also facilitated self-hypnosis."
He just watched Ji Li squatting there, touching this and that, and occasionally leaning over to take a sniff, and then sneezing at some smells that were not particularly fragrant.
Like a child.
After a long time, she stood up, looked up at Lu Xun and said, "Lu Xun, thank you."
Lu Xun tapped her head gently with the scabbard of his sword and said, "Why haven't I seen you be so polite before?"
After saying that, he still added: "As long as you like it."
…
…
Tonight, Lu Xun stayed at Ji's house. The two of them even went out to buy some meat and vegetables, and Lu Xun cooked some delicious food for her.
Ji Li was in a good mood the whole day because she felt like this was just the life of an ordinary couple.
Don’t you see that Lu Xun is using fire spiritual power to make fire? How can ordinary people cook like this?
After the meal, Lu Xun took out a set of tea sets from his storage ring and sat on a rattan chair in the courtyard. He drank tea while fanning himself with the cattail leaf fan from Ji Li's house.
Ji Li was curious about what Lu Xun saw and heard on this trip down the mountain, so she wanted him to tell her about it.
Lu Xun told her the story, of course, avoiding some topics that Ji Li was not suitable to know.
Ji Li listened very carefully, as if she had remembered all of this and was participating in this part of Lu Xun's life.
After Lu Xun finished speaking, he asked Ji Li, "Did you feel anything was different when you came down the mountain this time?"
He actually wanted to know how Ji Li, as a native of Tianchen Continent, felt after the large-scale arrival of players.
As soon as she got to this point, Ji Li immediately became excited.
She sat up straight and said, "I don't know if it's because I haven't been down the mountain much in the past two years, but I feel like the people down there have changed a lot!"
She had the illusion that she had not kept up with the times.
"Many people said things I couldn't understand , such as..."
Just as she was about to give an example, the crow that had been untied from its rope standing on the back of the rattan chair started to cry out, "Fuck you! Sweet rain, cool!"
Ji Li glanced at the stupid Ling Ya and said quickly, "Yes, yes, yes! I've heard that too. Those people seemed to be arguing."
Lu Xun: “…”
The cultural invasion brought about by the large-scale arrival of sand sculpture players has begun to show initial signs of happening.
Later on, let alone these abusive words, many cultures on Earth will also become popular in the Tianchen Continent.
For example, "Journey to the West" will become a household story, and many ancient poems will also spread in the Tianchen Continent.
Countless practitioners and martial arts heroes always say "Kill one person every ten steps, and it will be unstoppable within a thousand miles."
In terms of culture, there will be initial chaos in Tianchen Continent, but it will gradually become stable.
The players will not stay in the secular world for long and will slowly join the sect.
Ji Li continued, "And I don't know why, but this time when I came down the mountain, so many people came to talk to me!"
Lu Xun: “…”
Come to think of it, Ji Li is a disciple of the Demon Sect after all, and can be considered a yellow-named NPC, but it's just a light yellow name.
Therefore, even though she followed Feng Lu Xun with a hat on her head when she walked down the mountain, and wore a rainproof cloak to cover her proud figure, there were still a large number of players who approached her to talk and tried to start some tasks.
"Does it feel a bit annoying?" Lu Xun said with a smile.
Some stupid players are so persistent in completing tasks!
"Emm..." Ji Li groaned, then said: "It's okay actually. Once I get a little impatient, they will leave on their own."
Lu Xun nodded. That’s because the player received a favorability prompt. You became impatient, and what he showed was that the favorability decreased.
Lu Xun has a character panel and NPC template, which is a cheat, so he can adjust the favorability at will, and he is not following his heart at all.
A man that players can never guess.
"That's right! There are also many people behaving strangely. I saw more than a dozen people standing in a row outside the city the other day, jumping forward together!"
As Ji Li spoke, she seemed to think of the funny scene and couldn't help laughing out loud.
As she recalled, she slowly told Lu Xun everything she had seen and heard.
Since it was a question asked by Lu Xun, she would think about it seriously and hard, and then answer it to the best of her ability.
And most of what she said was related to those stupid players, which was really... a sin!
As expected, I didn’t think too much when I was a player in my previous life, but now looking at these things from the perspective of an NPC, it really is true what the saying goes – “Sir, times have changed.”
…
…
The next day, Lu Xun and Ji Li got up early. Today was the anniversary of Ji Li's parents' death, and she wanted to go to pay her respects. After thinking about it, Lu Xun decided to go with them.
Arriving in front of the tomb, Ji Li knelt down and kowtowed, while Lu Xun also performed the salute as a junior.
She was talking about her experiences during this period in front of the tomb, and Lu Xun was listening beside her.
Strictly speaking, Ji Li's life trajectory was changed because of him. Without him, Ji Li would not have joined the Demon Sect.
He said in his heart: "Please rest assured, I will help take care of Ji Li."
Based on Ji Li's descriptions over the past two days, he could roughly imagine what a happy family this once was.
The heir of a martial arts family is willing to tinker with flowers and plants for the sake of his wife, regardless of the ridicule of his friends.
After a female hero married her husband, she also tried to learn needlework and embroidery, although the purse she embroidered was really ugly.
And don’t forget, as I said at the beginning, the reason why Ji Li was called this name was because his father’s surname was Ji and his mother loved eating pears the most, so she was named Ji Li.
Therefore, the big tree in the yard of Ji's house is also a pear tree.
Her mother would always tell her: "Your father's martial arts skills are so poor, if he wasn't good-looking, I wouldn't marry him!"
Her father always smiled happily beside her, and then shook his clothes in a pretentious manner, looking very conceited.
Ji Li has a high talent for martial arts, and her parents have high expectations for her.
Her goal had once been to become a female knight.
Until all good things were shattered.
During the worship process, Ji Li did not cry. She said on the way here that she would not cry because her parents were most afraid of her crying. They would feel soft-hearted and distressed when they saw her crying.
She wanted to tell them that she was actually very happy now.
Sometimes growth is like this, it makes people learn to be strong.
Especially when those who stood behind you are gone.
After the worship was over, the two left.
Lu Xun and Ji Li walked side by side and did not choose to fly.
Taking a walk would help soothe one's mood, and he felt it would help Ji Li get out of her previous mood.
The crow hadn't lived a good life for a long time. It spread its wings and flew freely in the forest, uttering words like "damn it", "cool rain", "are you knocking?", etc., which disturbed a large number of birds in the forest.
As they walked, Lu Xun asked, "What are your plans next? Are you going back to the sect?"
Ji Li stopped when she heard that.
Seeing her suddenly stop, Lu Xun also stopped, looked at her with a little confusion, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ji Li didn't look up at him, but stared at Lu Xun's chest. Her eyes were not focused and she seemed a little nervous.
She said in a lighter voice:
"Lu Xun, can I not go back to the sect? I want to follow you."
Without waiting for Lu Xun's answer, she added:
"I will definitely be obedient and not cause you any trouble."
"I won't ask questions that I shouldn't ask, and I won't do things that I shouldn't do."
"If I do something wrong, just tell me directly and I will definitely change it immediately. If...if I don't change it, then you can...you can flick my forehead!"
"You know, I'm most afraid of being hit on the forehead."
She was a little incoherent, mumbling a lot, and her voice became softer and softer.
As she spoke, she no longer looked straight ahead, but lowered her head slightly, and her little head got lower and lower, almost buried somewhere, like a little ostrich.
After a long while, she said in a mosquito-like voice:
"Lu Xun, I want to stay by your side."
