Near Mao hour, a glimmer of light appeared on the edge of the dark sky and earth, and that glimmer of light seemed to slowly illuminate the entire sky.
The entire True Dark City is also the quietest at this time.
Whether it is the night market or the stalls on the street, there will always be brief moments of no one.
Because even the earliest vendors to set up stalls during the day will start preparing what they want to buy today from home at this time.
Last night, the Xiao Mansion, which had been full of singing and dancing, also experienced a brief period of tranquility.
I saw that in the venue where the banquet was held, on the countless square tables, there were countless guests who were drunk, as if they were in a state of intoxication.
Some morning mist, accompanied by the brightness of the distant sky, began to cover the entire True Dark City, and also blew in the Xiao Mansion.
Li Wudi looked at the empty wine jug on the table in front of him. He spent the whole night talking to the fox-fur beauty last night and stayed up all night. Then maybe he didn't taste the peerless wine made from peach blossoms.
He was in a waning mood, looking at the silence around him. Only the people snoring and the stage in the distance, as if the beautiful talent was performing on it last night, slowly came to mind. .
Li Wudi smiled softly when he saw this, "It's like experiencing the treatment that only a wealthy family can enjoy."
After saying that, he looked around. There was Wang Er and a group of Xiao family servants who were still sleeping and had not yet woken up. They were surrounded by a soul barrier.
Looking at the soul barrier, Li Wudi thought about it and put the soul barrier back into his thoughts.
After doing this, the young man's face slowly became solemn, and he said after a while: "Last night, the fox-fur woman was able to break through my soul barrier. Let's not talk about the realm of the cultivator. Just talk about the soul power. Far beyond my real soul."
Li Wudi didn't think anything about this, because this true dark city is so big and there are many strong people, including Xiao Xuan, the old man of Xiao Mansion.
Although he is five hundred years old, he can still maintain his youthful appearance. He is much younger than the immortal Fan Yi whom he saw in Red Candle City.
To be able to possess such a long life is undoubtedly obtained by breaking through to a higher realm.
Although Li Wudi didn't know what level of strength Mr. Xiao had, from the surface, it was definitely no worse than the so-called Immortal Stage realm.
Maybe they are all in the Dan Condensing Realm, which is just like the five elders in the Dao Palace.
"My superficial identity is just an ordinary servant of the Xiao Mansion. How could that extremely mysterious woman in fox fur suddenly come to find me?"
"Could it be that you noticed something different about me?"
Li Wudi thought to himself, after all, it was too weird for him to come here, and he had never heard of a place like the True Dark City.
But fortunately...
"That big fox seems to have no ill intentions towards me, but why did she come to find me for no reason?"
In Li Wudi's impression, as long as he met such a top-notch beauty, he would definitely leave a deep impression on his senses, but last night it was obviously the first time that the two of them met.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter who she is, anyway, I'm attracted to the peach blossom wine in her hand. I will definitely try it when I have the opportunity in the future."
He stretched out a lot, and the smell of alcohol on his body had dissipated a lot. After experiencing these thoughts, Li Wudi still planned to try his best to explore the place in this truly dark city in the future. Be low-key.
"Besides, maybe this is just a dream that I imagined..."
As for why it was so real, Li Wudi reluctantly blamed it on the sequelae caused by using too much force against the countless dark men outside the Red Candle City.
After all, there were ten dark men equivalent to the Lingtai realm at that time. In order to deal with them, Li Wudi used most of his trump cards.
Otherwise, it would not cause him to fall into a coma.
Suddenly, some rustling sounds came from nowhere. Li Wudi's ears twitched slightly, doubts arose in his heart, and he looked forward.
In front, in addition to the guests who were still sleeping, there were scattered square tables, stools and chairs, as well as some leftover food on the table, and even some "missing weight" fruits, all rolled down. The ground was covered with a little dust.
Also in this environment, I saw that behind the many square tables, there was something obviously wrong with one of the square tables.
Some of the food on top shook slightly, and then at an extremely fast speed, the half of the uneaten roast chicken on top just disappeared.
After a while, the remaining Bazhen chicken disappeared from the white plate.
The birthday banquet held by the Xiao Mansion this time also provided an extremely rich menu of dishes, all of which were famous dishes.
Within a few breaths, all the leftovers on the square table disappeared.
Just when Li Wudi was confused, he saw a dark shadow flashing between several square tables.
Then, all the food on the square table was swept away.
Li Wudi touched his face and murmured to himself: "Are there servants of the Xiao Mansion stealing food this early in the morning?"
Driven by curiosity, he walked forward and approached the central stage where the show was performed.
Passing through countless staggering guests, Li Wudi soon arrived at the square table where the black shadow finally disappeared.
There was originally a pile of melons on the square table, but under his nose, there was a hand quietly stretching out from behind the square table.
Then he took the fruit plate with melons on it and took it quickly.
Immediately, there were some crunching sounds of eating.
"Click, click, click."
Li Wudi raised his eyebrows slightly, stretched his neck, and slowly looked behind the square table.
He wanted to see who was eating.
He was small in stature and wore a worn-out mink hat. His face was covered in charcoal dust, making it difficult to see clearly. Not only his face, but his whole body looked as if he had been to a charcoal kiln. He was covered in black paint. It's dark.
He was wearing ragged, tattered clothes and was covered in filth and filth. The clothes had several holes and dozens of patches, and his hair was messy and hanging down randomly.
The whole person looked like a beggar on the street, eating the melon he just got.
You can vaguely see some oil stains at the corners of the mouth, and you can tell at a glance that they were left behind by the roasted chicken on the table just now.
He didn't look very old, about a year or two younger than Li Wudi.
But when Li Wudi saw this beggar-like person, he looked shocked, and then said uncertainly: "Little brother? Little beggar?"
It turned out that wasn't this the little beggar Li Wudi met when he was at the city gate?
At that time, he was still this little beggar, telling himself that this city was called the True Dark City.
However, because he was woken up later, there was no further follow-up.
When the little beggar wearing an ermine hat heard the exclamation, his face turned pale with panic, like a stray dog that had been discovered by its owner.
The next moment, he didn't even have time to spit out the melon rind in his mouth, and just wanted to escape.
When Li Wudi saw this scene, before the little beggar was about to escape, he immediately shouted: "Little brother, don't panic, it's me, it's me."
There was a bit of eagerness in the voice, which made the little beggar freeze, because he seemed to be familiar with the voice.
He slowly turned his head and looked at the young man in front of him with a timid and panic expression. It was also at this moment that Li Wudi could clearly see the face of the person in front of him.
Although there were several spots of charcoal dust on his face, Li Wudi could still tell from his bright eyes that this was the little brother he met at the gate of the city.
"It's me, little brother, have you forgotten? You were the one who told me at the gate of the city that this was a real dark city..."
Li Wudi showed an extremely sincere expression, and his words seemed to bring back memories of the little beggar.
With a somewhat intelligent gaze, he turned his eyes and seemed to recognize the person in front of him. He had indeed seen him before.
Then, those pure eyes that were still blinking were looking at the piece of melon in his mouth.
With a look of reluctance, he let go of the melon that he had already taken a bite of, stretched out his hand and handed it to Li Wudi.
"Eat, eat..."
Li Wudi looked at the little beggar in front of him with a reluctant expression, and smiled slightly, then slowly touched the little beggar's head with one hand.
"I don't need it, you eat it."
One look at this little beggar and it was obvious that he was very simple and kind-hearted, with a pure heart.
"Little brother, what's your name? Why are you stealing food here? My name is Li Wudi, Li Wudi's Li, Wudi's Wudi."
Li Wudi said with a gentle expression.
And when the little beggar heard that this piece of melon still belonged to him, his face showed overflowing joy.
After glancing at Li Wudi in front of him, and with the approval in his eyes, the little beggar stuffed the melon into his mouth and ate it with a satisfied look on his face.
He said vaguely: "Su...Su."
Li Wudi said: "Su?"
"Little brother, is your surname Su?"
The little beggar in front of him nodded slightly.
Li Wudi then asked: "Su what? Where's your name? Where are your parents? Where do they live?"
Speaking of this, Li Wudi saw a trace of doubt and confusion in the little beggar's eyes, as if he didn't know anything except that his surname was Su.
Seeing this appearance, he roughly guessed that the little beggar in front of him was probably an orphan, and he didn't know anything about it.
Thinking of this, Li Wudi couldn't help but see himself in the little beggar in front of him. He had no relatives for no reason, was alone and struggled for a living.
Looking at the little beggar in front of him, his face showed sympathy.
"Since your surname is Su, you were born a beggar, and you are so young, how about I call you Su Qier?"
"Su Qier?"
The little beggar wearing an ermine hat seemed to hear this name for the first time. He murmured and repeated it to himself, and then nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice. It seemed that he was very satisfied with the name.
After that, Su Qier looked at the other side, looking at the various delicacies on the square table with longing in his eyes.
My stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
Li Wudi saw this scene, and then looked at the sky again. At this time, the original night was also shrouded in the hazy dawn.
At that time, the servants of the Xiao Mansion will come to clean up the place, and the guests will also wake up. If they see a beggar sneaking into the Xiao Mansion, they will probably drive him out, right?
No, a wealthy family like this pays most attention to face. At a 500th birthday banquet like Mr. Xiao’s, if a beggar sneaks into the birthday banquet, it will undoubtedly be a shame for the entire Xiao Mansion. Secretly deal with Su Qier It's all uncertain.
Li Wudi thought of this and looked at Su Qier in front of him. A trace of unbearability flashed in his heart, and at the same time, a bold idea flashed across his heart.
"It's almost Chen time... Let's go, Su Qier, follow Brother Wu Di. Brother Wu Di will take you to eat delicious food. The food here is all cold and not delicious. Brother Wu Di will take you to eat." That’s truly a killer dish.”
When Su Qier heard this, his eyes were filled with light, and then he nodded sharply and followed Li Wudi in a hurry.
But when he was taking Su Qier, Li Wudi could still see that the little beggar was sneaking around and taking advantage of all kinds of food on the tables in passing places with lightning speed.
But he didn't expose it, instead he smiled slightly.
After all, in this world, everyone has their own way of living.
