"That's really a pity." Lu Xiao said with a pity look on his face.
Gambler waved his hand. "It's no pity, don't look at how powerful they are now.
When it came to the preliminary round, they were the ones who got beaten.
Fight with the highest output and suffer the most vicious beating..."
Lu Xiao smiled and nodded.
The two didn't chat for a while before Gambler left.
Because he is going to participate in the second phase of training today.
Originally Lu Xiao wanted to check it out with Past, but considering that Vidya was present.
Lu Xiao simply gave up the idea.
After reading the financial statements of the Yuanxing project in Gambler's Villa, Lu Xiao took Vidiya back to Chang'an City.
Today's Chang'an City has completely changed.
There are towering buildings everywhere.
Groups of vehicles pass through the gaps between buildings.
The only thing that remains unchanged in Chang'an City is the logistics points in the central area.
By the time Lu Xiao returned to Chang'an City, it was already evening.
At this time, some citizens had already set up stalls at the edge of the logistics point.
Lu Xiao is walking on the busy street with his hands behind his back.
The shouts and shouts of the surrounding vendors reached the ears of Lu Xiao and Vidiya.
Vidya seems to be enjoying this atmosphere.
She walked among the stalls with a happy face.
Lu Xiao followed him silently.
Soon, Vidya stopped in front of a stall selling fried skewers.
She stood on tiptoes and tapped her fingers on the stall.
"I want this... this, and this!"
The owner of the stall is an old man who looks to be in his early sixties.
While he was helping Vidya fry the skewers, he secretly glanced at Lu Xiao out of the corner of his eye.
After a while, he murmured softly, "It's a beautiful flower, but why is it filled with cow dung?"
With the hearing of Lu Xiao and Vidiya, they naturally heard this mumbling.
When Vidya heard this, she smiled from ear to ear.
Then she waved her hand and added a lot more skewers.
After Lu Xiao left the booth, Lu Xiao couldn't help but asked Vidya with a puzzled look:
"That boss just called you cow dung, why are you still smiling so happily?"
This sentence immediately made Vidya laugh.
She gritted her teeth and said with a displeased look on her face, "Yes, yes, I am cow dung and you are flowers!"
As soon as she finished saying this, she turned away and vented all her resentment on those fried skewers.
Lu Xiao shook his head with a look of confusion on his face. "Obviously it is someone else who scolded you, why are you showing such a face to me?"
After he finished complaining, Lu Xiao raised his eyes and looked around.
Just at this moment, a little girl carrying a flower basket walked up to Lu Xiao.
She raised the flower basket in her hand and said to Lu Xiao, "Brother Elder Brother, your girlfriend is so beautiful.
But why do you want to make her angry?
Here are the flowers for you to use to comfort her."
After saying that, I didn't wait for Lu Xiao's reaction.
The little girl directly took Lu Xiao's hand and forced the flower basket to Lu Xiao.
After doing all this, she made a face at Lu Xiao and ran away quickly.
After a moment of daze, Lu Xiao turned his attention to the little girl.
After running a few steps, the other party came to the side of a middle-aged woman.
Under the gaze of Lu Xiao, the middle-aged woman took the little girl's hand and disappeared into the crowd.
After retracting his gaze, Lu Xiao stared at the flower basket in his hand and fell into deep thought.
At this time, Vidya also turned her head.
She heard what the little girl just said.
At this time, she looked at Lu Xiao expectantly, waiting for the other party's next move.
However, Lu Xiao's thoughts were not on the flower basket in his hand.
Just when he was in a daze.
A bright light caught his eyes.
In the dark, he seemed to hear a voice saying to him: Xiao Lu, what are you going to do when the world settles down?"
Hearing this voice, Lu Xiao turned around suddenly.
At this moment, Vidya's beautiful face full of expectation came into his sight.
Lu Xiao was stunned.
After a while, he seemed to have come to his senses and Pupil focused again.
Then, Lu Xiao handed the flower basket in front of Vidiya and whispered, "This is for you..."
At this moment, the expression on Vidya's face froze.
After a moment of confusion, she handed all the fried skewers in her right hand to her left hand.
Then he frantically wiped the oil stains on his hands on his dress.
After doing all this, she stretched out her hand and took the flower basket handed over by Lu Xiao.
At this moment, her eyes were full of satisfaction.
The flowers in the flower basket are just ordinary roses.
But at this moment, in Vidya's eyes, these roses are more precious than anything else.
She lowered her head, put the tip of her nose against the rose petals and sniffed them gently.
The faint scent of roses penetrated the tip of her nose.
At this moment, Lu Xiao slowly spoke:
"Vidya, we have known each other for almost thirty years.
From Hell to the Mother Goddess.
After all, you are the person who has stayed with me the longest."
When Vidya heard this, her face turned red instantly.
At this moment, her heart was filled with surprise mixed with expectation. "This is too sudden..."
Unexpectedly, Lu Xiao's next sentence was. "You also heard the goddess's answer that day.
She doesn't want to be the queen anymore.
After that day, I went through all the candidates who could become the queen in my mind.
In the end, I found that you are the only candidate worthy of my trust as queen."
Having said this, Lu Xiao sighed lightly, and then continued, "Later, I thought about it carefully.
If you let an outsider be your queen, it would be very unfair to your Mother Goddess Elf clan."
Hearing this, Vidya already understood Lu Xiao's thoughts.
At this moment, a flash of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
She held the flower basket tightly in her arms with one hand, and then said in a calm tone, "Is it in your best interest because I become the queen?"
Hearing this, Lu Xiao shook his head slightly.
At this time, he did not speak, but turned his gaze elsewhere.
After a while, he spoke softly, "It has nothing to do with interests, because you are the princess.
If Liu Ni hadn't appeared, you Future would definitely be able to sit in that position."
Having said this, Lu Xiao's tone paused.
"Gambler's words today reminded me.
Peace, he said, exists only on earth.
Once out of the earth, all that remains is cruelty.
I suddenly thought whether the Mother Goddess had also lost the peace it should have had because of the arrival of us humans.
I've been through darkness and I've been through madness.
Therefore, I know very well the despair in one's heart when living in that kind of environment."
