Chapter 425 I have a friend
Returning to the third floor of Tianren Building again, Ling Yu closed the door, set the seal, and then took out the login device.
All it showed were the messages sent to him by some stupid netizens.
[Small Cake Destroyer: Gambler, are you there?]
[Little Cake Destroyer: I was fine just now, but now I have something to do. I won’t be online for the time being. I’ll talk to you next time. You can fight the BOSS by yourself.]
"..." Ling Yu.
His expression did not change. After changing the chair under him into a recliner, he collapsed on it without hesitation, and his eyes lost their luster.
"Without my stupid friends, playing games is meaningless..."
A few seconds later...
As if he had thought of something, he jumped off the recliner with a somersault and immediately became full of energy.
"Little Cake isn't here, I can go find someone else!"
"'Squidward', 'Old Deng', 'Cook', 'I'm not a singer', 'The leader of Qingce Village'... these guys with strange names may all be online."
"Like 'Old Deng' said before, he doesn't have much to do all day, so he spends most of his time at home."
“Maybe we can ask him to come online.”
Thinking of this, Ling Yu silently opened the friend interface of 'Lao Deng' and sent a message.
Guili City, Chenyue Pavilion on top of Jianmu.
Gui finally rolled up his sleeves that were like the starry sky, revealing his snow-white and delicate little hands. With his jade-like fingers as green as green onions, he picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Zhongli.
"This is the leaf of Chuiyu that I picked from Cuilin Domain (Chenyu Valley in this world). I heard from Master Liuyun Jiefeng that this kind of tea is the best for making tea."
After the tea was poured, Gui Zhong just held her chin with both hands, and looked at Zhongli quietly with her beautiful eyes.
After so many years, Gui Zhong has experienced a lot more things than in the past, so she has become more stable.
"Yeah." Zhongli nodded and picked up the teacup in front of him very naturally.
Zhongli picked up the teacup, took a sip, letting the tea fragrance spread in his mouth, closed his eyes, as if savoring the flavor of the tea.
"How does it taste?" Gui Zhong looked at him expectantly.
"The tea soup is clear, sweet and mellow, with aromas of flowers and fruits." Zhongli commented after opening his eyes.
"As long as you like it." Gui Zhong smiled, feeling a little happy in his heart.
However, Zhongli's eyes were always looking into the distance, as if he was seeing somewhere farther through the window.
"What are you looking at?" Gui Zhong asked curiously.
Zhongli was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I was thinking, after a thousand years, Guili City has become like this."
"What will happen if another thousand years pass?"
"It's either getting better or getting worse." Gui Zhong's mouth drew a gentle arc, "Besides, with you and I here, how could Guili City possibly get worse?"
“……” Zhongli did not say anything, but looked at Guizhong.
Being stared at by Zhongli, Gui Zhong's fair cheeks gradually blushed and his eyes turned away subconsciously.
But as if she had thought of something, her eyebrows slightly frowned.
"Your silence just now..."
"Are you telling me that you're leaving?"
“…Yes.” Zhongli nodded seriously.
"Where are you going?" Gui Zhong turned his head away and didn't look at Zhong Li again. "Can I come with you?"
"Have you forgotten?" Zhongli asked back.
"Forgot..." Gui Zhong was a little confused.
"In the last meeting led by Orias, we old friends promised him that we would go to another universe to participate in the war in the future." Zhongli said slowly, helping Guizhong remember the past.
"So it's that..." Gui Zhong's face suddenly showed realization, and then his expression became a little bitter, "I remember that you seemed to have told Olias at that time that you didn't want me to go..."
"Do you dislike me?"
"I just don't want you to suffer unnecessary harm." Zhongli said seriously.
Gui Zhong was stunned and looked at Zhongli in disbelief.
Because hearing such words coming out of the other person's mouth...it really surprised her.
But since the other party said this, does that mean...
As if she had thought of some possibility, her eyes suddenly became bright, just like the shining stars in the night sky.
"Morax..." Gui finally no longer called Zhongli "Zhongli", but called him by the name of the demon god.
She spoke slowly with anticipation in her eyes.
"are you……"
Just when Gui Zhong was about to ask the key words of that question, Zhongli's expression changed slightly and he stretched out his hand to stop her from saying the next words.
“……?” Gui Zhong looked puzzled.
"A friend of mine sent me a message." Zhongli stood up. "It seems like he's a little anxious. Let's not talk about it for now."
After saying that, he turned and left, looking a little hurried.
Gui Zhong did not say anything to save the situation. Instead, she supported her chin with both hands and stared at Zhongli's back infatuatedly until he completely entered the house, closed the door, and disappeared from her sight.
"Hehe~ Morax, you are scared~"
Her eyes are beautiful and her smile is sweet.
"Huh..." After Zhongli entered the room, he leaned against the door and raised his head slightly, as if he was looking up at the sky.
Only there is no sky above, only a ceiling.
"What happened to me just now?"
Zhongli closed his eyes, feeling his heart beating faster than before.
"Am I nervous? Or am I... afraid?"
"Forget it, let nature take its course."
Shaking his head to dispel the unnecessary thoughts, Zhongli returned to his previous demeanor as if everything was under control.
"Let me see... Hmm? It's him..."
Zhongli opened his friend list and saw an ID named "How can a gambler lose every day" flashing.
Then, his mind moved slightly and he opened the chat interface.
[How can a gambler lose every day: Lao Deng, are you there? ]
[What kind of gambler loses every day: If you are here, please go online. The dungeon boss has been refreshed today. Other players have gone to the dungeon to find the boss. If we go too late, we won’t even have a sip of soup.]
[What gambler loses every day: I just told 'Little Cake', but 'Little Cake' had something to do and couldn't come, so I thought about it and came to find you]
Seeing these messages, Zhongli smiled and responded immediately.
[Millennium old man, uninvited: Gambler, there is something I want to tell you. I have a friend...]
When Ling Yu saw this message pop up, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
[How can a gambler lose every day? Stop, it's obvious that what you said happened to you.]
[How can a gambler lose every day? For a sentence that starts with "I have a friend...", you don't even need to think about it, it must be you. For this, I have only one thing to say to you: Be brave, don't be afraid of difficulties! Just face it directly, why panic? ]
