Chapter 27 Uninvited Guest on a Rainy Night

"It looks like this rain isn't going to stop today..."

At the entrance of the dilapidated thatched hut, Lu Xian leaned against the eaves with his arms crossed, looking up at the rolling, inky clouds, within which pale lightning snakes raged.

The drifting rain has been falling for over an hour, and judging by the time, it's almost dark now.

Under the cover of dark clouds, there was truly no distinction between day and night.

Inside the thatched hut, the kitten emerged from her meditation. Her soaked clothes had already been dried by her soul power, and she slowly stepped forward.

"Are you hungry, or are you just enjoying the soft bed?"

"Oh, are you a tapeworm in my stomach?"

Lu Xian turned around and teased.

"I don't know you yet..."

She slightly parted her lips, a relaxed smile appearing on her delicate face. "Don't think about it, there's nothing here."

"That's not necessarily true. Watch me conjure it up for you..."

[Lu Xian: @Xiao Yan, Huo Huo, I'm stuck in a dilapidated hut in the wilderness because of this torrential rain. I haven't had dinner yet, you know what I mean?]

[Xiao Yan: Brother Lu, it's nothing, I'll go to the kitchen and take a look for you!]

Lu Xian gloated.

See? This is the right way to use a chat group!

If you need something, just ask. If you're brothers, you should just ask directly. Otherwise, it will seem like you're not close.

After a while.

[Xiao Yan: There's only some leftover rice, Brother Lu, do you need some?]

This guy, I'm better off without him...

[Lu Xian: ?]

[Lu Xian: Dude, is this how you repay my kindness in imparting knowledge and guidance earlier?]

[Xiao Yan: Brother Lu, you know me. Don't let my status as the third young master of the Xiao family fool you. I may seem glamorous on the surface, but I've been crippled for three years. People gossip about me behind my back. My family has strict rules. I have to be quick to eat, or I'll only get leftovers or whatever the kitchen has...]

Lu Xian rubbed his head; it seemed that Huo Huo was indeed right.

[Lu Xian: Where are the others?]

[Ye Fan: Brother Lu, you know me well. I'm currently in the desolate outskirts of Yan, spending the whole day soaking in the medicine cauldron, absorbing the life essence of spiritual herbs. I won't get hungry. If you need, I can send you some bathwater; it's all life essence, enough to fill your stomach...]

[Lu Xian: Look at yourself, are you even speaking human language?]

Those who know it call it the essence of life, but those who don't might think it's something else entirely!

Damn it!

[Yan Lingji: Brother Lu, you know me well. I have trouble even eating, but I have plenty of bathwater. If you're thirsty, just tell me.]

[Lu Xian: I didn't ask you, Fire Princess! So you've been corrupted by them too, haven't you?]

[Lu Xueqi: I'll go check on the kitchen.]

Upon seeing this sentence, Lu Xian's twitching heart calmed down slightly.

[Lu Xian: My Naiqi is still the most reliable one! (Tears welling up in his eyes.jpg)]

Xiaozhufeng Kitchen

Lu Xueqi, dressed in flowing white robes, arrived on her sword. Candlelight still shone in the kitchen, and the aroma of food wafted out.

She glanced at the message that had just popped up in the chat group.

[Lu Xueqi: I just checked, there's nothing in the kitchen.]

Lu Xian: ...

[Lu Xueqi: But I can make it for you fresh.]

[Lu Xian: Really? Is this "love"?]

[Lu Xueqi: But I've never cooked before.]

Lu Xian: ...

[Lu Xueqi: But I've seen my junior sister cook, so I think I can too.]

[Lu Xian: Is he really good at it or just pretending?]

[Lu Xueqi: Of course it's fake.]

Lu Xian: ...

Okay, okay, there's not a single reliable person in the group!

Lu Xian felt a little heartbroken.

Lu Xueqi looked at the now quiet chat box, and a rare smile appeared on her usually cold face. "You're always so flirtatious and trying to take advantage of me."

Lu Xueqi sent Lu Xian a personalized red envelope.

"Um?"

Lu Xian was taken aback and tapped the red envelope to check it.

The red envelope contained three stacks of vegetarian dishes and a few steamed buns. He realized that he had been tricked by the seemingly honest little girl, Naiqi.

[Lu Xian: Well, Naiqi, I never thought someone as upright as you would secretly go astray!]

[Lu Xian: Do you have any meat dishes? I'd like another one!]

[Lu Xueqi: Take it or leave it.]

[Lu Xian: I want to eat what you make yourself; it'll definitely taste better.]

[Lu Xueqi: You can come over here. I'll personally cook you a meal using the Tianya Divine Sword.]

[Lu Xian: Cough, then forget it. Old people don't have good teeth and only want to eat soft things; they can't handle anything so hard.]

A small table and several dishes were quickly set up inside the thatched hut. As a candle was lit, a bright yellow light appeared under the dark sky shrouded in inky clouds.

"Where did you get all this...?"

The kitten looked a little dazed. The dishes were still steaming, clearly fresh from the pot.

"Would you believe me if I said my best friend sent me food from another world?"

"I believe you!"

The original text can be found at 6#9@book/bar!

"Huh?" Lu Xian was a little surprised.

The kitten, taking a small bite of the white steamed bun, said, "You couldn't have really conjured it up yourself."

The two were having dinner.

Amidst the rushing rain outside the window, a slightly unusual sound suddenly arose.

It was the sound of footsteps wading through puddles, and the faint sound of complaints.

The two people inside exchanged a silent glance and continued eating their dinner as if nothing had happened. It was still easy to distinguish the assassin from the others.

Now that they've entered the heart of the Heavenly Dou Empire, even the most daring assassins from the Zhu family wouldn't have such long reach.

The footsteps grew closer, probably drawn by the candlelight in the night.

Not long after.

A clear, melodious girl's voice rang out from outside the thatched hut, "Is anyone inside? Can we come in and take shelter from the rain?"

Seeing that Lu Xian didn't react, Zhu Zhuqing got up and walked to the door to look outside. Under the rain, there was a young man and a young woman.

She said calmly, "We're just temporarily staying here to avoid the rain. Please come in."

"Is that so? That's great! Third Brother, let's go inside and take shelter from the rain..."

Lu Xian paused in his act of picking up food.

Third brother?

Could it be such a coincidence?

Just then, a girl wearing a pink skirt and white stockings darted in from outside. She had a pair of rabbit ears on her head, a round face, big eyes, and skin with a healthy pinkish hue.

Behind the girl followed a boy dressed in a dark blue outfit. The boy had an ordinary appearance and a rather thin build. He was not even as tall as the girl who had come in at the beginning. He had short hair and looked quite capable.

They both looked quite disheveled, soaked to the bone by the rain, with mud all over their ankles.

Lu Xian's gaze swept over the two of them, lingering briefly on the belt with twenty-four jade stones inlaid around the boy's waist.

It seems that it really is such a coincidence.

Judging from their attire, their identities are obvious.

Tang San and Xiao Wu.

The hut was not large to begin with, and now with four people and a horse inside, it looked even more crowded.

"Third Brother, they even have hot dishes!" Xiao Wu rubbed her tummy, feeling a little hungry.

Looking at the two people eating by themselves not far away, Tang San was a little puzzled. This place looked like a woodcutter's temporary stop. There wasn't even a stove next to it. Where did they get the food?

Moreover, the tables and chairs they were using looked very clean, which was out of place in this dilapidated place, and they were obviously added later.

They're acting strangely; they're probably Soul Masters too, and there's a high chance they possess a Soul Guidance Device similar to the one from "Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night."

Tang San stopped Xiao Wu, who wanted to come forward and talk to her, and shook his head. Everyone took shelter from the rain, thinking it was better to avoid trouble.

"Xiao Wu, have some coarse bread for now. We'll eat something better when we get to Soto City tomorrow."

"All right……"

The hut was quiet, except for the occasional neigh or snort of the horse, the sounds of chewing food, and the patter of raindrops outside.

slam-la-

Then came the sound of footsteps wading through puddles.

What day is it today?

Lu Xian was puzzled. Why were people coming to this desolate place? Could this dilapidated hut have some kind of magic?

"Hey, is anyone inside?"

"If you're not going to say anything, I'll just come in!"
