"Good afternoon everyone, I am the owner of Qingquan Cafe. The situation just now was that our cafe failed to deal with it in time, which affected everyone's mood. Therefore, I would like to announce that all table bills today will be halved."
The woman slowly bowed to the many guests as an apology.
Although there were not many customers, everyone smiled and toasted in return.
Lu Sheng also smiled and toasted, and this little incident was settled, but when he finished his drink and was about to stand up and leave.
A waiter came over gently and placed an invitation on his table.
"Sir, a small coffee tasting will be held here tomorrow. Our boss will send an invitation letter to all guests who insist on tasting the original taste of coffee. If you are interested, you can come on time to participate.
At that time, various precious coffee beans collected by the boss will be displayed and tasted, and you are welcome to taste them.”
"Okay." Lu Sheng accepted the invitation, stood up and walked out of the cafe.
After being quiet for so many years, his life was so peaceful that he was not used to it.
Lu Sheng no longer lives in the Dragon Cave, which was given over to the organization as a base camp to house a large number of subordinates.
He has now purchased a villa in Horizontal City, not far from Dawn City, and lives there on weekdays.
There are many beggars in Horizontal City. It is said that there has been a famine recently, the grain harvest has failed, food prices have risen, and the economy is depressed. Many civilians have been unable to survive and have become beggars.
On his way back, Lu Sheng saw no less than three or four people, dying of hunger, lying motionless on the roadside.
There are only some skinny wild dogs and cats waiting around. As soon as they die, these vicious dogs and wild cats will swarm them and feast on them like crazy.
Lu Sheng even saw someone holding a blue-faced baby in his arms.
The baby was already dying, his face was pale from hunger, and his lips had no color at all.
From time to time, carriages of nobles pulled through the middle of the street, splashing tiny specks of mud onto these poor begging people.
Everything looks like a dirty, chaotic medieval disaster.
Lu Sheng had no extra sympathy to help others. He could control his own power and not hurt them when fighting. This was his greatest kindness to mortals.
As usual, he turned a corner and passed a closed bookstore. Suddenly, Lu Sheng heard a rapid burst of wind passing above his head on the right side.
Immediately afterwards, there were several more piercing sounds, and they followed closely behind.
A baby's cry could be heard faintly in the air.
Lu Sheng paused, sensing the five people chasing and escaping quickly away from each other. He ignored them and continued walking towards home.
Although this kind of pursuit is rare, it is not the first time we have seen it. Horizontal City is already very chaotic.
Walking along the street, he soon arrived in front of the iron gate of the villa he purchased.
According to past practice, he should take out the key now, open the iron door, go in, ask the butler to prepare hot water and food, and then rest.
But now, Lu Sheng slowly stopped.
To the right of the iron gate of the villa, there is a sunken hidden grid on the stone pillar, which was originally used to place lighting oil lamps.
But now the oil lamp was gone, replaced by a pair of big, bright and clear eyes.
There was no impurity in those eyes, just blank. They were like the most shining stars and gems.
a baby.
A little baby had just been stuffed here and tightly wrapped in the arms of the man who was being hunted.
In such an environment of being hunted, as long as the baby made a cry, it would be impossible for him to survive and hide until now.
But the strange thing is that the baby didn't cry until Lu Sheng came back to the door and found her.
Lu Sheng stared blankly at the baby for a while.
"As fat as my son." His eyes suddenly calmed down.
There was silence all around. Lu Sheng calmed down for a while, then slowly stretched out his hand and took out the baby.
He casually touched the bottom.
"She's a girl. A good girl." He praised, "Since you are destined to me, then just follow me."
The baby stared at him blankly, his eyes pure and clear, with nothing in them.
Until she heard this sentence, she suddenly raised her lips and smiled sweetly.

fifteen years later
"My name is Lu Hongye, and I am the daughter of an ordinary small businessman."
"My father is a shop owner who sells antiques and other miscellaneous items. My mother left us when I was very young, leaving only my father and I to depend on each other."
"When I was ten years old, my father told me that I was picked up by him and would be thrown out if I disobeyed.
Like other classmates and friends, my parents always like to use this method to educate their children."
"When I was twelve years old, my father took me to move to Shuguang City, hundreds of miles away. I continued to run an antique business here. I also persuaded my father many times, asking him to find another one and not to delay his own life.
youth.
But my father was always silent and then changed the subject."
"My father loves me very much, but I don't want this love to become a constraint on him. So.
I just wanted to ask, where can I get glasses repaired in the city? I accidentally crushed my glasses this morning and I can’t find a place to repair them anywhere.”
""
In the fourth-year class of Dawn City Gerna College.
A group of students stared blankly at Lu Hongye, who was telling a cold joke in a serious manner on the podium.
Originally, the class teacher was asking each new student to introduce themselves. After all, it was a newly formed special training class. But now
"Still no sense of humor." Lu Hongye said expressionlessly as she slowly walked off the podium.
"A boring world, a boring life." She looked at the confused faces in front of the desk, and her heart felt calm.
Obviously when my father told me this joke, I laughed so much that my stomach hurt. Now these people have no sense of humor.
After a period of silence, the class teacher coughed a few times and came up to the stage to ask the next classmate to introduce himself.
Lu Hongye attended class boredly, listening to non-nutritious content until school was over.
The sun sets in the west, burning the streets and alleys red.
Lu Hongye kicked Lu Sheng's pebbles and carried her schoolbag with one hand, not caring about the black and white plaid short skirt school uniform she was wearing.
Occasionally, her long golden hair fell to the front, but she tied it up behind her impatiently.
After wandering all the way, it finally took her half an hour to complete the journey, which was only less than ten minutes.
We came back to the door of a small villa that was quite old.
He skillfully took out the key from his chest, opened the door and went in. The housekeeper was watering the garden with a kettle.
"Hello Grandpa Hank."
"Hello, Miss." The old housekeeper nodded with a smile and continued the work at hand.
Lu Hongye trotted all the way and entered the living room in three or two steps. She happened to see her father on the sofa in the living room while drinking coffee and reading the newspaper that had just arrived. The strong muscle lines on his body were bulging as high as rocks.
.
"You're back?" Dad put down the newspaper and frowned at Lu Hongye's baggy skirt.
"What did I remember telling you?"
Lu Hongye clearly saw a cold glint flashing in her father's eyes.
Her heart trembled, and then she realized that she had forgotten to tidy up her appearance before entering the door, so she quickly stretched out her hand to straighten the corners of her clothes and remove wrinkles.
"Do you still get along with your classmates in the new class at school?" Dad nodded slowly and asked again.
"It's okay, it's okay." Lu Hongye laughed dryly. She has a pretty face, but she has a pair of sharp and straight eyebrows, giving people a neutral beauty that is sharp yet heroic. But now this picture
A neutral and beautiful face, but with a flattering smile.
"Go freshen up and finish today's homework first." Dad continued.
"Yes~" Lu Hongye responded in a long and helpless voice.
Ever since she hugged a harp on a whim when she was eight years old and wouldn't let go, a piano practice journey that she regretted for the rest of her life began.
She has been practicing since she was eight years old until she is now fifteen years old. She has experienced countless hardships and setbacks during this period. She wanted to give up many times, but with her stern and cold father around, giving up would mean a beating.
After doing it more often, Lu Hongye accepted her fate. One hour of practice time every day was unbeatable, and over the years, she gradually developed a habit.
He quickly went up to the second floor, opened the door and walked into the bedroom.
Lu Hongye opened the curtains, opened the windows to let some air in, and then closed the door. She walked to the closet and was about to open the door.
"Help! Help!!" Suddenly a high-pitched voice came from the closet.
Lu Hongye looked stunned and slowly opened the closet a crack.
With a chirp, a blue shadow instantly flew out from the gap.
"Help!" The shadow flew around and suddenly stopped on Lu Hongye's shoulder, gasping for air.
"It was such a close call, I almost suffocated!"
Lu Hongye blinked her eyes and stared at this little thing.
"A little golden lizard?"
"Finally found you, Your Highness Shar!" The little lizard spoke in human words, with an expression on his face that he had gone through countless hardships.
"Shar? Your Highness?" Lu Hongye was stunned, "Who are you? Have you admitted the wrong person?"
She had heard of the existence of such spiritual beasts and magical beasts.
"No! She did not admit the wrong person. Dear His Highness Shar, I finally found you after all these years."
In the room, at some point, a slender masked woman appeared. The woman was kneeling on one knee, carrying two crossed short guns on her back, and exuding a faint fierce aura.
Lu Hongye blinked her eyes and was stunned for a while, not knowing what happened.
"Your Highness, fourteen years ago, my subordinate was hunted down. I had no choice but to place you in front of this family's house, so that I could escape.
Now that the disaster has passed and the enemy is unable to take care of it, my subordinates will have time to come and find you." The masked woman said seriously.
A lizard that can speak human language, a masked woman with extraordinary skills, and an epic legend that is both sung and heart-wrenching.
Half an hour later, Lu Hongye, who was very nervous, learned his true life experience from these two guys.
It turns out that she is the youngest princess of the legendary Golden Dragon clan. Her father, the Golden Dragon King Tali, was betrayed and assassinated before his death.
Her mother was poisoned and died during the intra-clan struggle, and now she is the only one left in the Dragon King clan.
The Golden Dragon clan is facing an unprecedented threat and crisis. Only the bloodline of the Dragon King can open the royal family's inheritance and find the hope of redemption.
So the lizard and the masked woman came to let Lu Hongye come forward to lead the Dragon King clan and revive the Golden Dragon clan.
"" Lu Hongye listened to the story with a confused look on her face. She looked at the lizard and the woman blankly.
"Your Highness, you should come back with me as soon as possible! Time is urgent, and it will be too late!" the woman said urgently.
"You mean, I'm not born a mortal? What kind of Golden Dragon King princess am I??" She pointed at herself and said blankly.
"good!"
"You still say that I was born with extremely powerful royal blood, with infinite strength and amazing magic power?" Lu Hongye pointed at herself and continued.
"Yes, Your Highness!" The two nodded quickly.
"You also said that there is a royal family inheritance behind me, and it cannot be done without my bloodline."
"Lu Hongye! You haven't started practicing yet! You want to die, don't you!!?"
A sudden roar came from outside the door.
Lu Hongye's whole body was covered with chills and she almost jumped out of bed in fright. The sound made the whole room tremble.
"I know! I'm practicing the piano!!" She responded loudly and stammered.
