The Heroes of Gulong: Great Chefs from Past to Present

Chapter 973: Nothingness after death
Li Chaofeng is nearly fifty years old, and Long Wu is younger than Li Chaofeng, only forty.

When Bai Yujing replaced him as the Bixi Dragon King, he was only in his thirties.

Thirty is never an age to retire.

Although he accepted the identity of Dragon King, Li Chaofeng not only let him return to the position of Dragon Son Suanni, but also indulged Anqing Prefecture and Yingtian Prefecture to compete for the lead.

But no one expected that Long Wu personally built the Jiuyou Palace, a den of filth and dirt.

Li Chaofeng could tolerate Long Wu's desire to seize power, and he also understood that if the other party wanted to seize power, he had to accumulate some hidden power in secret.

But he didn't understand one thing
"You watched Yunyu grow up, why did you treat him like that?"

Long Wu looked at Li Chaofeng, looking at him more seriously than before.

His most trusted subordinate murdered his only son.

But Li Chaofeng remained calm, so calm that Long Wu uttered a mocking sound.

"Do you suspect that I intend to use drugs to control Yunyu for my own use?"

Li Chaofeng shook his head: "No, I want to know more than how you control Yunyu..."

"Why did you force Yunyu to kill? Why did you destroy the kindness in Yunyu's heart!!!"

When Long Wu heard the question, he immediately looked straight at Li Chaofeng and started laughing wildly.

As he laughed, he looked at the familiar Li Chaofeng and said something extremely funny.

"I killed someone with my own hands when I was fifteen, and you were ranked tenth in the Weapon List when you were sixteen because of the battle at Mulan Mountain."

"Yun Yu is over 20 years old, and his martial arts skills are unrivaled, but his personality is as innocent as a child."

"I didn't mean to harm him. I just used some mortals to make him see the darkness of the world."

"If he doesn't understand, his future self won't be able to inherit the world we built with our own hands."

Li Chaofeng interrupted with a shout: "The world has always belonged to everyone in the world!!!"

"Long Wu, Yunyu's future is something only he can control."

Long Wu said sarcastically, "You can clearly see the truth. You clearly know that the world is so peaceful now because those ambitious people are afraid of your martial arts."

"They are afraid of death, so they keep their heads down and dare not offend in any way."

“But once you die, the martial arts of those masters who can fight against firearms with one hand will definitely change the order of this world.”

"Work hard all your life, but in the end it's all for nothing."

Having said that, Long Wu looked directly into Li Chaofeng's cold eyes and spoke in a resolute tone.

"Li Chaofeng, this world has always been a crazy world."

“It was, it is, and it will be.”

"You can't change anything. Rather than waiting to be buried by humanity after your death, it's better to make plans early."

Li Chaofeng: "You dared to attack me at the age of fifteen, and you dared to fight against Yan Nantian, the world's number one hero, at the age of twenty-five."

"If you can't change it, then don't change it. Where has the heroic spirit in your heart gone?"

Long Wu smiled: "As a person, the lower your status and the smaller your identity, the more courage you have to challenge your predecessors."

"Because challenging the strong, regardless of winning or losing, can improve one's social status."

"But as time goes by, I turn around and realize that you are the only one in the world worthy of my challenge. Others are only worthy of challenging me."

“I don’t like this situation because I hate losing.”

"But you personally gave everyone the power to challenge the authority of the court."

"You crazy person!!!"

Li Chaofeng: "All success in the world begins with going from challenger to challenged."

“If you spend your life challenging others, how do you prove that you have achieved success?”

“Accepting challenges is what a successful person should accept.”

Long Wu laughed and said, "You can accept this fate, because a madman never thinks that he has the possibility of losing."

"But I can't do that, because I know very well that there are many geniuses in the world who can make me lose."

"Only by keeping order in place can I prevent those brilliant geniuses from challenging me!!!"

"Bang~"

A breeze appeared in the room and the door closed again.

As the door closed, Long Wu's slightly crazy expression suddenly became silent.

Looking at Li Chaofeng with a stern face, Long Wu also sneered.

"Li Chaofeng, you are really cold-blooded." "I have already lost so completely, and you still use me to win back Ding Peng."

Li Chaofeng looked at Long Wu and said directly.

"If you do something wrong, you always have to pay the price."

"If you don't cooperate, I will make sure that you won't even die in peace."

Long Wu smiled: "I know, so I cooperated with you."

After saying this, Long Wu also looked curious.

“Why is Ding Peng important?”

Li Chaofeng: "He is younger than us. Even if young people know something, it is always very important."

"Because they are the future of the world, I will never forgive Yunyu for what happened."

Long Wu whispered: "The world is ours, and it is theirs, but in the end... it is theirs."

“I’ve heard these words many times, but I still don’t accept them.”

After saying this, Long Wu looked up at Li Chaofeng and asked with an unwilling look on his face.

"Li Chaofeng, at the last moment of my life, I only have one question for you."

"How did you do it? You worked so hard only to be surpassed by someone who came after you?"

Li Chaofeng looked at Long Wu's eyes which were gradually turning red and sighed coldly.

"Can you accept riding a horse to other state capitals now?"

Long Wu shook his head: "Of course not."

Horses are not only slower than cars and trains, but riding them is also very tiring. More importantly,
No matter how skilled a martial arts master is, he still has to accept the bumps on the road.

Li Chaofeng smiled bitterly: "I can't do that either."

Long Wu looked at Li Chaofeng's serious eyes, then turned his head and looked at the streets of Anqing through the transparent glass window.

Anqing Prefecture was built by Li Chaofeng himself, and its prosperity was the highest in the Central Plains.

But after so many years, there has never been a hint of enjoyment in Li Chaofeng's eyes.

It's not that Li Chaofeng doesn't like to enjoy himself, it's just because
He hated the smell of gasoline on the streets and hated car seats that were made too hard.

But there is no way, the development of technology has never happened overnight.

At a time when sealing technology was not sophisticated enough, cars were not much faster than horses.

With all the reductions in configuration, there is simply no space for passengers to sit comfortably.

But this is already the most complete means of transportation in the world.

Long Wu was in a trance and said, "So, this prosperous world is still not the best world, right?"

Li Chaofeng: "At least before I die, I shouldn't be able to see the future in my mind."

Long Wu: "Is it worth it to devote your whole life to a completely invisible future?"

Li Chaofeng: "I have tried my best and fought hard. If I still lose, it has nothing to do with me."

Long Wu: "I can't understand it, but you are better than me, so I can only accept it."

Black blood slowly flowed from the corner of Long Wu's mouth.

Li Chaofeng watched Long Wu wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. Since he appeared, he already knew that Long Wu was still taking poison.

He lost completely.

The darkness in Jiuyou Palace was enough for him to die a hundred times.

But, as long as he dies, the Long family, which controls the Shenlong Bank, will be less implicated.

Thinking about the future of the Long family, Long Wu laughed again and confirmed.

"If I had never betrayed you, how long would the Long family have been able to control the Shenlong Bank?"

Li Chaofeng looked at Long Wu with his mouth full of black blood, closed his eyes and said calmly.

"Shenlong Bank is a huge issue. If Baiyujing hadn't had insufficient resources, it would have been nationalized long ago."

"And the next Dragon King is Lin Taiping."

Long Wu nodded: "Lin Taiping is the son of the Dragon King Lu, and he is also a first-generation member. He also took over the position of Bi'an from you. He really has the foundation that the Long family cannot resist."

"Li Chaofeng has never done anything wrong for the sake of family inheritance."

Before he could finish his words, Long Wu could no longer hold on and fell to the ground, dying.
