Ark Undead

Intersections created for the sake of intersection are far less important than the goal in one's heart.
"For ordinary people, the fewer people like us, the better. Because the fewer people there are, the safer their living environment will be, and Da Yan has done nothing wrong in this regard. If I were arrested, I wouldn't feel there was any problem."
Greyhound wasn't just talking without experiencing the pain; he had almost faced the law enforcement agencies of Da Yan himself, so his words were a reflection of his own experience.
"The goal of the Great Yan is to create an environment where everyone can live, reproduce, and thrive. This place where their ancestors have lived for generations is their home. For this reason, the Great Yan has always been very tough on issues related to territorial security. Moreover, this time Brother Sun was implicated in the theft of the demon seed from the Si Sui Terrace. If he can escape, then he has truly underestimated the Great Yan's methods."
The greyhound straightened its back against the wall, then casually stretched its shoulders.
"Let's go back."
The two arrived at the hot pot restaurant, made a reservation, and then came out.
Wengstein was curious about what the free peas at the hot pot restaurant tasted like, so he sat there eating peas and didn't come over.
W came with Greyhound; she's just too lazy to move, and her mind is still a bit foggy.
This gave Greyhound and Undead some time to be alone together.
By the time the Undead and the Greyhound returned, the year and the order had already arrived.
The two of them also brought a character who was trembling in the corner.
evening.
"You...you stay away!"
Xi was still the same as always; she started trembling at the sight of the undead, almost as if she could conjure her longsword in her hand.
However, perhaps due to an adjustment period, Xi can now at least look at people who aren't dead, instead of collapsing motionless in Nian's arms.
"What a wonderful day! Everyone's gathered together, and we're even having hot pot. I want to get this girl out in public more often so she can get out and about more and not always stay cooped up in her little corner."
The year arrives at the corner of the wall, dragging the evening down from the ground.
Xi was like a skateboard, being dragged little by little by Nian to the seat. Then Nian directly forged a chain and locked Xi and the chair together.
"It's all done! Everyone had a great time today. Order whatever you want to eat!"
Nian smiled at Xi, then turned around and invited everyone to take their seats.
The Undead glanced at the doorway but did not sit down. The others also noticed his condition and did not sit down immediately.
Only Onstan, because the room was too narrow, didn't ask for a chair and sat directly in the most spacious and empty spot at the back.
"Is anyone still missing?"
Ling asked with some curiosity.
"Ah."
The immortal nodded.
"And Chen."
Chen has been busy with some things these past few days. It seems that the Celestial Master has arranged for Chen to work with the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
After the Undead dealt with the giant demon seed inside the Red Dust Guest, Chen and some Imperial Guards went to eliminate the remaining smaller demon seeds that the Red Dust Guest had hidden in Shang Shu.
Having not seen her for two days, Bu Siren specifically asked Liang Xun to inform her that he would be coming over for dinner tonight and would also introduce Chen to some other people.
A short while later, Chen, dressed casually and carrying his small bag, hurriedly arrived at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant.
Even from a great distance, the Undead could smell the faint scent of the abyss emanating from her, as well as the familiar aura of flames.
"Sorry, I was a little late getting off work due to work."
Chen nodded to everyone as usual, only then realizing that he was no longer a senior superintendent in Lungmen.
When Chen came over, Nian and Ling stared at her for a long time before finally looking away.
Ling quietly approached the Undead, patted him on the shoulder, and asked in a low voice.
Who is this?
The immortal turned around and introduced himself to the crowd.
"List."
Such a brief introduction was very much in the style of the Undead, so Chen quickly added a couple more sentences.
"Formerly a senior police superintendent in Lungmen, now he works as a errand boy in Shangshu under Mr. Undying."
The three of them exchanged glances, and neither of them thought that the "small matter" Chen mentioned was a small matter.
He invited everyone to sit down again, then clapped his hands, picked up the menu, and decisively started ordering.
Greyhound, naturally, had no say in the matter, and he consciously kept quiet about what he wanted to eat.
However, he still took good care of the younger generation. After ordering the hot pot base and some must-order dishes, he passed the menu around for them to order themselves.
After the waiter took away the menu, the private room became quiet.
Apart from the immortals, the others were not very familiar with each other.
Like W, Greyhound, Chen, and the trio of Nian.
These are all people who have absolutely nothing in common. Even if someone wanted to start a conversation, they wouldn't know what topic to begin with.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not quite right, Onstan took the initiative to speak to Chen.
"That... Xiao Chen."
Chen sat upright, and after hearing Ongstein's voice, she turned to her side and responded.
"Yes, Mr. Onstan."
"What have you been busy with these past few days? Without you, the Undying and I don't even know what good food and fun things there are in Great Yan anymore. You seem to have been incredibly busy these past few days."
Chen naturally knew that Ongstein was joking. Speaking of his understanding of the Great Yan, Ongstein could be considered a citizen of the Little Yan Kingdom, having stayed there for quite some time.
But Chen was sensible enough to continue the conversation.
"After the Red Dust Guest incident, the Old Celestial Master asked me to do some work with the brothers of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. These past few days, I've been running back and forth in Shangshu, doing similar things to what I did back in Longmen."
Upon hearing Chen mention Longmen, Nian suddenly asked a question.
"Is your surname Chen, or is your given name Chen?"
Chen didn't know Nian's identity, only assuming he was a friend of the immortal, so he answered normally.
"My surname is Chen, which is my mother's surname."
"Um..."
Nian nodded, then asked another question.
"You know Wei Yanwu?"
"It's Uncle Wei. I grew up with Uncle Wei since I was a child."
Chen was naturally a little puzzled. Did this Sarkaz with two horns in front of him actually know his superior?
After listening to this, she remained silent.
On the contrary, when Ling heard Nian talking about these topics, she quickly stepped in to ease the tension.
“In the past, the three of us sisters had all met Mr. Wei Xiao... Mr. Wei Yanwu. We heard that he was transferred to Longmen, and we haven’t seen him for a long time. Sometimes we hear news about him, but it’s all unclear, so we want to know how he is doing.”
"My uncle is doing well, but he's been a bit overworked lately. I don't know the specifics."
"Is that so? So, what do you think of the Great Yan Dynasty after your trip to Shangshu?"
"It's great. Although I miss Longmen a little, I feel that there isn't much difference between Da Yan and Longmen. I'm really enjoying life here."
With this big sister in charge, the conversation at the dinner table flowed smoothly.
A hot pot was served shortly afterward.
All I could see was a pot of bright red stuff, with lethal amounts of chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns floating in it. Just looking at it made my mouth water and my body start to sweat.
The hot pot was served, and Chen and Ling's conversation was interrupted as everyone looked at it.
Year, Greyhound, and Onstan all excitedly picked up their chopsticks at the same time.
"Let's not be shy, we definitely have to experience what hot pot tastes like."
Seeing the somewhat fearful expressions on Chen and W's faces, Nian even gave them a kind smile.
"Don't worry, I ordered the mild spicy, it's not spicy at all, it smells great, it just looks very red."
Perhaps seeing that Nian and Greyhound were enjoying their meal, Chen and W also picked up their chopsticks after some hesitation.
Sure enough, the moment they put the cooked tripe into their mouths, their expressions changed drastically, their faces turned bright red, and they looked like they were about to strangle themselves and breathe fire.
"Don't eat too fast! Even if it's delicious, we can't rush it!"
The greyhound looked at W with a smile, then reached out and handed him a glass of cold water.
This junior of mine still needs more experience.
W rolled his eyes at the greyhound, coughed as he took the water the dog offered and gulped it down.
She's probably going to have an upset stomach tonight.
Only Xi dared not move an inch.
307. Land of the Pregnant King
The Undying Man's assessment of hot pot is quite accurate.
It tastes good and is quite stimulating.
Yes, Shang Shu's magical seasonings can even make the immortals taste a little bit of flavor.
Whether it's pain or taste, even a dead person can't tell.
But occasionally taking a bite or two, accompanied by the wine poured for him, allowed the undead to enjoy the pleasure of eating without consuming any human essence.
After enjoying a hot pot meal, Chen was the first to leave. She said she had another operation to participate in that evening, and she had taken special leave.
However, her departing figure seemed to suggest a hasty escape.
As expected, the people of Longmen still weren't used to the spiciness of Shangshu cuisine.
However, once Chen left, Nian and Ling couldn't help themselves and began asking the Undead about Chen.
