Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 796 The Master's World

"Yeah." Lu Shiyao looked at him with a smile and nodded slightly.

Her eyebrows are as dark as distant mountains, her eyes are as clear as autumn water, her nose is straight and her lips are light in color.

Covered in the morning mist in the mountains, it looks like a plain ink painting.

Elegant, pure and untainted by dust.

She was the most beautiful woman Gu Xu had ever seen since he traveled to the Great Wilderness. Only Zhao Yan, who had been reborn from the ashes, could be compared to her.

But their beauty is at two completely different extremes.

One is as fierce as fire, the other is as pure as water.

One is a charming and seductive demon in the world, the other is a cool and aloof fairy from the other world.

The former always stimulates Gu Xu's biological instincts and makes his blood boil; the latter makes people want to worship it on the altar and find it difficult to have any blasphemous thoughts.

As for the Night Emperor sisters... they are not human and are not within the scope of discussion.

While Gu Xu went back in time to resurrect Lu Shiyao, he also retained her saint-level cultivation.

Therefore, she could naturally perceive the tremendous changes in the rules of heaven and earth in the Great Wilderness World, and feel that all the evil energy had dissipated, replaced by the fresh and pleasant spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

And all this was done by her son.

She really wanted to see with her own eyes what this world that belonged to her young master without Emperor Tianxing had become like now.

"You have to put on a pair of shoes first." Gu Xu said.

As his mind moved, a pair of exquisitely embroidered shoes appeared out of thin air in his hands.

"Thank you, sir." Lu Shiyao smiled faintly, her voice as clear as a bell, and reached out to take the pair of embroidered shoes.

However, Gu Xu raised his hand slightly to stop her, shook his head gently and said: "Let me help you, so that you don't put your shoes on the wrong way again."

When Lu Shiyao heard this, she couldn't help but recall the embarrassing incident when she was still a snow girl and accidentally put her shoes on backwards in front of Gu Xu. She suddenly felt a little embarrassed and a blush quietly appeared on her cheeks.

"Then... I'll trouble you, sir."

Then, Gu Xu took her hand and helped her sit down on a protruding rock.

He knelt down in front of her.

Lu Shiyao hesitated for a moment, and finally raised her slender and well-proportioned feet and slowly stretched them in front of him.

Gu Xu held her ankle.

The touch of her skin was still the same as before, delicate and smooth, like the finest white jade, warm and with a hint of coolness.

However, Lu Shiyao was not as indifferent as before.

She felt an electric shock-like sensation spreading from her ankles and sweeping through her whole body in an instant.

Her muscles tensed, her toes curled up, and she instinctively tried to pull her foot back.

But she was worried about upsetting the young master, so she had to bite her lower lip gently, trying hard to control her body's impulses.

Seeing her cute appearance, Gu Xu couldn't help but have a teasing thought in his mind. He pretended to be careless and lightly brushed his fingertips across the soles of her feet.

The girl suddenly raised her head, took a breath, and her graceful hips unconsciously twisted slightly on the rock.

Obviously, for her who had lost her sense of touch for a long time, the stimulation brought by Gu Xu was a little too strong.

"You're going to go out into the world and meet people. Are you afraid?" Gu Xu asked with a smile after helping her put on her shoes.

Lu Shiyao thought for a moment and answered seriously: "As long as you are with me, I am not afraid."

As soon as they finished speaking, their figures disappeared from the top of Mount Yi, and in the blink of an eye they appeared in the prosperous and bustling city of Jingzhou.

Under the cover of the authority of cause and effect, they looked like two ordinary passers-by and no one noticed their existence.

Compared to the last time the two came here a few years ago, Jingzhou City has undergone tremendous changes.

Lu Shiyao looked around and saw that the streets in the city were smoother and wider than before, with shops lining the streets and alleys, and the city was bustling with people.

The beggars and vagrants who were once common on the roadside are now nowhere to be seen. Instead, there are neatly dressed pedestrians with calm expressions, as well as children chasing and playing with sweet laughter, filling the area with peace and vitality.

The restaurants and teahouses were crowded with people. The storytellers told wonderful stories with witty remarks and vivid descriptions, which made the audience laugh continuously.

A constant stream of caravans carrying heavy goods shuttled through the streets, the sound of mule and horse bells and the enthusiastic shouts of vendors interweaving into one.

"Is this the young master's world..." She looked around, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she sighed silently in her heart.

"Here, give it to you!"

At this moment, Gu Xu's figure suddenly disappeared.

Before Lu Shiyao could see where he went, he had reappeared with a string of temptingly colorful candied haws in his hand, which he handed to her with a smile.

"Ah, sir, thank you so much!"

This was one of her favorite foods when she was a child. A few years ago, she specifically mentioned to Gu Xu that she wanted to try it, but she didn't expect that he would always remember it.

She carefully took the candied haws, looked down at it for a moment, and then gently licked the icing on the surface.

A refreshing sweetness instantly spread across her tongue, awakening her taste buds and making them sing with almost joy.

She tasted it in small bites, enjoying it thoroughly, but couldn't bear to finish it all at once.

When there was only one hawthorn left in the candied haws, she even felt a little sad.

"Sweet, this is what it tastes like," she thought, "But it's still a little inferior to the young master's blood..."

As soon as this thought came into her mind, she immediately suppressed it, and what followed was a deep sense of guilt.

She lowered her head, and asked herself anxiously: Lu Shiyao, Lu Shiyao, the young master saved you and is your benefactor. You are no longer a ghost, how can you still have such an idea, thinking of eating him and drinking his blood?

Before they knew it, Gu Xu was holding her hand and walking to the street restaurant they had been to before.

Gu Xu ordered two servings of Jingzhou fish cakes and two servings of red oil noodles.

When the steaming dishes were served, the fresh and fragrant aroma filled Lu Shiyao's face and penetrated into her nose.

Her eyes lit up slightly, and she couldn't help swallowing as she looked at the delicious food on the table.

Last time, she used the Jinghong Pen and Gu Xu's senses to indirectly experience the taste of the food.

And today, she was finally able to taste it herself.

Jingzhou fish cake is still the same as before, with fish flavor and meat fragrance, fat but not greasy, smooth and refreshing.

As for the red oil noodles.

Although she had prepared herself mentally in advance, the bright red chili oil and the rich numbing aroma still caught her off guard.

The moment it enters your mouth, the spicy taste quickly spreads across the tip of your tongue.

She was so spicy that she gasped for breath, her cheeks were red, and there were even some tears in the corners of her eyes.

Even so, she couldn't help but take one bite after another, as if the spicier it was, the more addictive it became.

Seeing her like this, Gu Xu chuckled helplessly, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, then handed it to her: "Eat slowly, don't choke."

"Well, thank you, sir..." She thanked him softly.

However, as soon as she opened her mouth, the spicy taste rushed up her throat like a cluster of flames, choking her and making her cough repeatedly.

Gu Xu reached out and patted her back gently to help her relieve the discomfort.

After finally calming down, Lu Shiyao lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye.

I was so embarrassed that the young master saw me in such an embarrassing state!

After dinner, the two walked side by side, like an ordinary couple, leisurely in the streets and alleys of Jingzhou City.

They stopped by the stage to watch the show, played the game of tossing pots with great interest on the street, watched the children happily playing Cuju in the square, and enjoyed the wonderful acrobatics of street performers in the crowd.

From time to time, Lu Shiyao heard discussions from passers-by around her.

"Your Majesty passed away a few years ago, and I thought the world was doomed, but unexpectedly, Your Majesty miraculously came back to life and saved us all!"

"That Taishang Haotian from another world is no match for our Majesty!"

"The long night has ended and the sun has risen again, all thanks to your majesty!"

"And the evil spirits that filled the world, Your Majesty actually dispelled them all. Now when we go out, we no longer have to worry about being targeted by demons and ghosts, and our lives have finally returned to peace."

"This is truly a great favor. Without Your Majesty, how could we be here today?"

"..."

It turns out that the young master has experienced so many twists and turns and created so many unimaginable miracles over the years.

Lu Shiyao listened carefully, and waves of emotion surged in her heart.

At this time, she reached out and gently tugged at Gu Xu's sleeve, and whispered, "Sir, let's go to the temple in Longzhou to ask for a fortune?"

Hearing this, Gu Xu couldn't help but think of the time a few years ago when they passed through Longzhou during their escape.

At that time, the little monks in the temple surrounded them with lottery boxes and enthusiastically asked them to draw lots.

Lu Shiyao drew "From lotus, we get lotus roots; when we have apricots, we don't need plums", while he drew "This is called the phoenix flying, singing in harmony".

Gu Xu had long seen through that it was just a trick used by the young monks to defraud money from incense offerings, and the stick box was filled with sticks for marriage that symbolized good luck.

But today, even though he already knew the truth, Lu Shiyao still insisted on going to draw lots.

Gu Xu understood that Lu Shiyao didn't care whether the signature was real or fake.

She has always been introverted. She would not say "I like you" or "I miss you" as bluntly as Jiang Zhaoyue, nor would she be as bold and direct as Zhao Yan, who pushed him against the wall to propose to her or even kissed him forcefully.

Therefore, she chose this implicit and tactful way to express her feelings.

"Okay." Gu Xu agreed with a smile.

Then he held her hand, and in a flash, the two of them disappeared on the streets of Jingzhou.
