"That day, the Angry Fire Fairy rested for a while in the shop, without saying anything, and soon left in a hurry. After that, I was melancholy for a long time, thinking to myself that I didn't know when I would see such a beautiful fairy again, but I didn't expect A few days later, she came again, and she came to me again. That day she was wearing a fiery red dress, as beautiful as a wild rose that had just been watered by the rain. She walked to my counter. , seeing me immersed in settling accounts, she just watched quietly. I don’t know what she was looking at. Anyway, I remember that she looked at it for a long time. It made me feel hot all over and sweaty, and even the hand holding the pen was shaking. It’s amazing, I even wrote seven or eight words wrong.”
"Finally, she asked me. I still remember the first thing she asked was, as a young man, how did your calculations go? I responded to her shyly and said that it was not bad. I made two or three wrong calculations last year. , I didn’t lose much money to my boss.”
"She nodded and asked me a second question. She said, let you calculate the entire town, oh no, let you calculate the entire kingdom. Can you handle it?"
"Now that I think about it, what I said at that time were all big words. My breasts were beating loudly, and I told her that not only the kingdom, but the whole of Zhennan, I can do it!"
"That was the first time I saw her smile. I have never seen anyone's smile be so comfortable, so pretty and so heart-warming. Her eyes were gentle but dazzling, just like the most dazzling look on a summer afternoon. A ray of sunlight penetrated me at once, penetrating my ordinary and vulgar heart."
"She said, why don't you come and help me settle the account? It will be the clearest and fairest account in the world."
"I don't know why I agreed to her. Maybe it was because of my fascination with her, or maybe because my life at that time was too boring for me, but I think more of it was because I saw what I saw from the fairy's eyes. , I feel a kind of hope, a kind of hope that I will never have and have never seen..."
When Huaihuang said this, his eyes filled with tears. He stopped to take a sip of wine and took a breath.
It was still the same old woman. She got up and walked behind him, filled up the wine for him, then patted his back and said with a smile: "You, don't go on recalling it endlessly. You always go off topic and talk about the main point. Say this. Go on, you have to talk about the past five hundred years until next year."
Huaihuang threw away her hand with some disgust, wiped the old tears on his face, smiled and said to Lu Ran and Xu Fu: "I'm out of control, I'm out of my mind, let me continue. In short, it is full of hope." One hundred years. The Angry Fire Fairy was named the Infinite Heavenly Lord. Under the instructions of the cult leader, she should use this small town as the center to develop a ninth country in Zhennan that is independent of the Eight Kingdoms. This Infinite Country is both a member of the Eight Kingdoms. The capital is also at the moment of life and death, the last fortress of Huanjiao, and the last strategic buffer of Jueying Island..."
"But Fairy Angry Fire, as the most talented true immortal in the world, doesn't believe that Jiejiao will one day be able to go all the way south to attack here. She just wants to create an ideal city, an ideal country, a place that is number one in the world, where everyone can An ideal country where we can live and work happily. To this end, she recruited many non-religious people like me, who not only taught us how to do things step by step, but also taught us how to practice. It was indeed a golden age when talents emerged in large numbers. Look at us There are at least five of you here who are juniors promoted by the Fairy at that time. Although they have not formally become disciples, the relationship and friendship between them is far beyond that of master and disciple."
Huaihuang said this, and five people present stood up. Almost all of them had tears in their eyes, and they bowed deeply to Xu Fu together.
Xu Fu's eyes were also full of emotion, but she had not shed tears yet. She immediately stood up and gave a big gift in return.
Huaihuang motioned for everyone to sit down, and he continued: "In those hundred years, under the leadership of the fairy, we built the city, opened canals, and established the largest market in the world in the most prosperous center of the city. In addition to After losing the 'Seven Demons of Charming Mountain', killing the 'Six Ghosts of the Judang Party', and destroying the 'Southern Chief Sect of the Black Sect', which was more harmful than the current 'Heretic Sect', that generation was called by future generations. The "Jueying Generation" has twenty-seven people who have been promoted to true immortals within a hundred years. Not only have they been recognized by the people of the world, but they have also been commended by the sect. The statue of the fairy is the sect's promise. One of the rewards..."
"Okay, if you continue to brag like this, I will lose my old face. Hurry up and say the next thing." It was the old woman who interrupted Huaihuang, but this time she said this, which made everyone in the room amused. The directors, Xu Fu, and Lu Ran all laughed.
Xu Fu, in particular, smiled happily, the kind of happiness that came from the heart that Lu Ran had never seen before.
Lu Ran also noticed for the first time that Xu Fu's hands had been away from the two "Changkong" and "Xiaoyue" on her waist for a long time.
Huaihuang ignored the old woman at all, glanced at Xu Fu, and his mood became even higher: "There is an old saying that the nights are long and the dreams are many. After more than a hundred years of continuous construction, Wuliang City has finally become a city that is not inferior to Zhennan." The population of any megacity in the capital of any of the eight countries has increased a hundred times from 10,000 households to one million households. At this time, the second most important figure in today's Jueying City appeared..."
"Is that this one?" Lu Ran stretched out his hand and pointed at the red-clothed immortal in the painting hanging behind Huaihuang on the right.
Huaihuang nodded, and Lu Ran asked again: "Then I have a question that I must ask first. Is this Zhong Wuqi her biological father?"
"Ah?" Xu Fu and Huai Huang both exclaimed almost at the same time.
"Brother Ranlu, why do you think so?" Huaihuang asked directly.
Xu Fu looked at Lu Ran and then at Huaihuang. She actually had the same question, but she was really embarrassed to ask.
"Because I don't think Xu Fu is similar to Xu Fang, but they are somewhat similar to the person in the painting." Lu Ran had long suspected the father-daughter relationship between Xu Fang and Xu Fu. Now that he saw the red-robed Immortal, couldn't help but make a bold guess.
"You...how did you know?" Xu Fu's expression suddenly became serious.
"So you really don't know who your biological father is, right?" Lu Ran felt that since he asked, it would be better to ask clearly.
"Yeah." Xu Fu was a little coy. After all, there were all strangers here, and this topic was too private.
She and Lu Ran looked at each other, and they both looked at Huaihuang expectantly.
Huaihuang's expression became very subtle. He turned around and looked at the two portraits. After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly slapped his thigh and turned around and said, "If the two of them are really here, Together, that's great! No, Fairy Yufu's biological father is someone else."
