Chapter 485 An old friend comes
"You said last time that you liked hot pot, so I asked someone to prepare some ingredients." Xue waved to the girl from the Immortal Tribe, who understood and left.
Not long after, more than a dozen maids came in, led by a maid carrying a pot.
There are no male servants in Xue's mansion. From what she heard, they are all girls from other tribes who have suffered a lot. He just left the tribe for some reasons, and was finally taken in by Xue in his mansion. If I want to leave in the future, Xue will not stop me.
These maids respected Xue very much and called her their venerable one.
Seeing the life Xue was living now, Jiang Wen felt a little sigh in his heart. Even the girl who was so innocent and bright back then has now become mature due to the baptism of time. Recalling Xue's appearance and scenes when he was a child, he found it quite interesting.
I recalled many feelings while looking at the hot pot ingredients placed in front of me. Xue just came to confirm in person that there was nothing wrong with the hot pot she prepared. She bought many of these ingredients from other places at high prices.
The maids each put down the ingredients in their hands and left, leaving Jiang Wen and Xue looking face to face.
"I didn't expect to be able to eat Miss Snow's hot pot. I'm so lucky." Jiang Wen smiled and looked across the table. With so many ingredients, just eating a hot pot is a bit of a waste. If it is left in the hands of experts, maybe something more delicious can be made.
"If you like it, you can come often in the future." Xue Wen said. "No one comes here on weekdays."
"Very few people come to visit?" Jiang Wen asked curiously, reaching out and throwing a piece of burning stone under the boiler. Watch the fire light up and slowly bring the ingredients in the pot to a boil.
Even if she is not in the face of her former master, she is still worthy of respect as a person of high moral character.
"Child in the belly? I want to call him Chique in the future. I hope he can live freely like a bird. Instead of being the child of the Saint of the Luo people, he has to bear a heavy burden all his life. The burden of the Luo people does not need me. I will be satisfied if my child can live well."
Every year is different, but the only thing that remains the same is Xue's frown. She is so troubled by the current Tianyuan City, and she is also the person who cares about Tianyuan City the most.
"Okay." Xue nodded again, and the two of them had nothing to talk about. Just listening to the chirping of birds and insects, and eating hot pot quietly.
"Snow, it's really different from before." Jiang Wen sighed as he walked on the road and looked at the market with people coming and going.
"If there is any way to repay my benefactor in the future, please feel free to give me your instructions. Even if Luo Ji dies, she will not complain at all."
When I returned to my residence, I knocked on the door and saw Luo Ji coming out. She was carrying her things and preparing to leave with the fetus in her belly.
Even though they are so far apart, tasting the ingredients of the past again can still make him feel nostalgic.
Luo Ji caressed her belly and looked a little happy.
Smoke rose sparsely, and Jiang Wen helped mix in the ingredients. Hearing the popping sound of bubbles, Xue replied nonchalantly: "Well, there's no one around."
"I'm leaving. Thank you benefactor for helping us, the Luo people, clear our grievances."
"If I have time in the future, I will come here often." Jiang Wen sighed and said with a wry smile.
For example, the relationship between her and Xiu Qi, and the changes of the King of Heaven in these ten thousand years.
When Jiang Wen came out of Xue's mansion, he felt full. I ate and drank enough in Xue's mansion, and learned a lot about it.
Jiang Wen asked her who the father of her child was. Luo Ji shook her head and smiled: "My benefactor, do you know why we are called the Luo people?"
"I don't know."
"Because, the children of our Luo people are not conceived and then born like ordinary races. Instead, they emerge from the eggshell like a bird." After Luo Ji finished speaking, Jiang Wen was stunned. In place. He didn't expect that there was such a magical tribe of humans in the world, and children could hatch from eggs like birds. What else do the Luo people do for men and women? That is, a woman can reproduce by laying an egg.
It's no wonder that Luo Ji dares to run around with a fetus in her belly. The reason for her love is that she is carrying an egg in her belly, but it hasn't been born yet.
"The Luo people's men and women are given by the gods of the Luo people. Only the union of men and women can give birth to offspring. But the saints of the Luo people are different. They can raise their offspring alone. The only price paid is the life of the saints of the Luo people. You can only conceive once." Luo Ji told Jiang Wen all the customs and habits of the Luo people, which was an eye-opener for him.
Thinking of the human race, the giant race, the powerful race, the dwarf race, etc. Jiang Wen was also able to quickly accept that the Luo people were all hatched from eggs.
Luo Ji said that she wanted to live alone because Jiang Wen helped her too much. This kindness could not be repaid, and she did not want to trouble him any more.
But Jiang Wen looked at the pregnant Luo Ji and asked with some concern: "Are you really okay? You know, no matter what you do in Tianyuan City, you need to spend money. How can you find anything to do when you look like this? It’s better to stay in my mansion for now and then leave after the child is born.”
"Wouldn't it be more troublesome for my benefactor? I already..." Luo Ji said bitterly. "I can't repay my benefactor's kindness, so how dare I continue to enjoy it."
"If everything in this world is governed by benefactors, then this world will be too monotonous." Jiang Wen said with a smile. "You might as well go, I'm alone anyway."
"……Um."
Luo Ji finally agreed to Jiang Wen and followed him to live in the house given by the King of Heaven. This is a large house with a fantasy landscape of mountains and rivers. This location in Tianyuan City is not bad, and it can be called a luxury house.
Although it was not as good as Xue's mansion, Jiang Wen was very satisfied with having a place to stay.
He also visited the place where he once lived, which had been taken over for public use. The administrative affairs of the King of Heaven will be carried out in that house. No one else could get in, not even Jiang Wen himself.
"It's really funny that I can't enter my own home." Jiang Wen joked to himself.
He stayed in Tianyuan City for a few more days until the day when the God Sacrifice Ceremony was over. Fireworks shot up all over the sky, bursting into bright firelight in the night sky.
Jiang Wen sat in the yard and looked at the fireworks in the sky, while Zhizi and Xiu Qi started playing chess.
"The ceremony of worshiping the gods is over." Xiu Qi said.
"I know." Jiang Wen nodded.
"I know you and Xue have some moves in private, but I still want to remind you. Don't forget your original intention." Xiu Qiluozi looked at Jiang Wen and said calmly. "A lot of things are actually understood by the King of Heaven."
"Does she understand?" Jiang Wen was surprised.
"Yes, the Heavenly King's current level of cultivation has reached a state of perfection. If she wants to hear, nothing in Tianyuan City can be hidden from her. If she doesn't want to know, she will pretend not to know the obvious things. Many people are secretly happy. I was able to deceive the King of Heaven, but they actually didn’t know that the King of Heaven just didn’t want to argue with them.”
"...I know, but it has been decided." Jiang Wen sighed. "You should know that the determination made by the Four Holy Marquises will never be changed easily."
"I know, but I hope you can understand." Xiu Qi dropped the last piece and then surrendered.
"you win."
"Haha, you lost." Jiang Wen couldn't help laughing as he looked at the game on the chessboard.
