Urban Immortal Lord

It was July, and the sun was blazing.

The bullet train from W City to M City slowly arrived at the station. On the train, in carriage number 8, a boy of about eighteen years old was leaning back in his seat, resting with his eyes closed.

The boy was thin, with dark skin, and dressed very plainly, like a typical country boy.

The boy's name was Xia Tian, ​​and he was a freshman at a university in W City. During the summer vacation at the end of this semester, in order to alleviate his inner melancholy, he traveled to X City alone.

A two-week trip had drained Xia Tian of all his money, leaving him with only a return ticket. His first year of university was over, and the young man suddenly realized that he seemed to have grasped almost nothing of the knowledge taught in class over the past year. He spent his days either playing games in his dorm or skipping classes to go on dates.

I've been living in a daze, wasting my precious youth. This is how I truly feel about the past year.

"Excuse me, could you help me put my suitcase upstairs?"

Disturbed by the sudden sound, Xia Tian opened his eyes and found a girl in front of him. The girl was petite and wore a pink mask, so his face was not clearly visible, only his general outline could be seen.

"Um."

Summer got up, picked up the girl's suitcase, and placed it on the luggage rack above.

"Thanks."

The girl sat down and thanked her.

"You're welcome."

Xia Tian replied casually, then closed his eyes again. In the past, Xia Tian might have joked with the girl to pass the time on the long journey. But now, the two-week trip had left him physically and mentally exhausted, and coupled with not having slept all night, he was even more drowsy.

Of course, more importantly, what happened to Xia Tian in the past two weeks was too bizarre. If it was a hallucination caused by a mental breakdown, Xia Tian clearly felt abnormalities in her body, with an "aura" circulating around her.

It seems that as long as Xia Tian is willing, this "aura" will unleash terrifying destructive power according to his will.

"Tianjizi... the Endless Sea... cultivators... could they really exist?"

Summer was filled with thoughts. Was that incredible experience, the sacred and solemn palace she saw at the bottom of the sea, and those immortal relics really not just a figment of her imagination, an illusion created out of thin air?

Does such a magical place really exist on Earth? Has a forgotten civilization truly reappeared in that sea area after countless ages?

And he himself was the destined person mentioned by the one who called himself "Tianjizi"?

After thinking it over, Xia Tian felt that everything that had happened to her in the past two weeks was somewhat unbelievable and hard to accept.

Of course, what Xia Tian didn't know was that this "sea storm" had already been classified as top secret by domestic and foreign intelligence agencies!

The train started moving, and about half an hour later, the train staff checked tickets one by one.

"Hello sir, could you please show me your ticket? Thank you."

Inside the carriage, a female attendant walked towards us, wearing a professional smile, and stood next to Xia Tian.

Xia Tian opened his eyes and handed over the ticket. A short while later, the woman handed the ticket back to him.

Just then, the girl next to Xia Tian handed over her ticket, with the front of the ticket facing Xia Tian.

"Um?"

After checking the tickets, Xia Tian turned to the girl and asked, "Are you also from M City?"

Just now, Xia Tian's eyes inadvertently swept over the girl's ticket, and he saw all the information on it, except for her date of birth, of course.

Because, by some coincidence, the girl's thumb happened to press against the ID number on the train ticket.

"No, I'm from D City, I'm just going to M City for fun."

The girl replied, glancing specifically at Xia Tian.

"Are you alone? I'm from M City," Xia Tian asked instinctively.

"I have a friend there," the girl replied. "He invited me to come over and he paid for my round-trip ticket and all my expenses."

Through their brief encounter, Xia Tian could tell that the girl was very talkative. After a conversation, Xia Tian learned that the girl's name was Wang Lili, that she lived in D City, and that she had secretly run away to find her boyfriend who lived in M ​​City.

Of course, according to Wang Lili, he was a male concubine, not a boyfriend.

The term "male concubine" was quite novel to Xia Tian and intrigued her.

"Why treat him as a male concubine instead of a boyfriend?" Xia Tian asked curiously.

Wang Lili explained, "Although he dotes on me and is very handsome, his family is very poor..."

Hearing this, Xia Tian was also somewhat annoyed and said coldly, "Dating is a matter between two people, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with family background, does it? It's undeniable that this society is very realistic and values ​​matching social status, but love is pure. If there are no feelings involved and it's just for fun, why deceive others?"

After saying these words, Xia Tian felt a pang of pain in his heart. He recalled the words his ex-girlfriend had said to him on the night they broke up three months ago, words that were exactly the same as those of the girl he had met by chance on the train.

And this is the real reason why people travel alone in the summer.

Some say that you shouldn't be friends after a breakup because you've hurt each other; nor should you be strangers because you've loved each other.

This seems like a contradictory statement. Perhaps only those who have truly loved each other can understand the emotional turmoil and changes that come with losing someone, which coincides with this contradictory statement.

Sometimes love isn't simply about two people being together and blossoming into something meaningful. Material things are the foundation of love. Even if two people are connected at heart, in the face of reality, the idea of ​​forever is nothing more than a beautiful dream.

Of the ninety thousand words in the world, the word "love" is the most deadly!

Lost in thought, Xia Tian's gaze suddenly sharpened, a fierce glint appearing in his pupils: "Su Yu, one day you will regret your choice!"

"hehe."

Seeing Xia Tian's emotional outburst, Wang Lili sneered, "You're still too young. This society is very realistic. My ex-boyfriend was even more handsome than him, we dated for four years, he even met my parents, but we still broke up because he was poor. No car, no house, what can you offer him happiness!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Tian took a deep breath, calmed herself down a bit, and seemed to have thought of something that instantly piqued her interest.

"Are you still a virgin? Did you and your ex-boyfriend do 'that'?"

Xia Tian glanced at the people around him, then leaned close to Wang Lili's ear and whispered teasingly.

Wang Lili shouted, "Isn't that obvious? You've been dating for four years. Do you think you wouldn't do that kind of thing? Besides, how many people in society these days are truly good?"

"Um?"

Xia Tian was a little surprised. Usually, girls would be too ashamed to talk about such things, but she didn't expect Wang Lili to say it without hesitation.

On the one hand, this shows that Wang Lili is straightforward and outspoken, a person without guile; on the other hand, it also reveals...

"Have you had a relationship with your current boyfriend, who is also your lover?"

Xia Tian asked again, his gaze already fixed on Wang Lili as he spoke.

Wang Lili hesitated for a moment, then stammered, "Well... of course not. He's very good to me, and he listens to me a lot. When we sleep together, he never moves around."

After Wang Lili finished speaking, Xia Tian suppressed the smile on her face, but she was overjoyed inside.

Xia Tian secretly felt sympathy for Wang Lili's future husband. However, given the severe gender imbalance in China, there were still many people vying to be the "last man" in this situation.

"Attention passengers, the train is about to arrive at M City Station. Passengers who wish to disembark, please gather your belongings in advance and exit through the right-hand door. We wish you a pleasant journey."

Before we knew it, the train started playing announcements to indicate that it was about to arrive at M City.

Xia Tian greeted Wang Lili and then fell silent.

He only carried a backpack this time, so he didn't need to pack any other luggage or belongings.

Five minutes later, Xia Tian helped Wang Lili take the suitcase off the luggage rack, and the two got off the train together.
