For Tang Xiaobao, the First Level of Heaven was just a stop on the long journey of cultivation. It was difficult for Tang Xiaobao to be interested in anything.
His only thought now is to rush to heaven and get what he wants.
Oh, that grindstone, let the Pangu Divine Ax be consecrated. Once this artifact regains its former glory, his strength will skyrocket, and he will no longer have to worry about guys like the Jade Emperor and Buddha.
In fact, he is not afraid of fighting alone. The key is that these old stubborns have lived for countless thousands of years and have become masters in cultivation. They are all too insidious. If you are not careful, you will fall into their trap.
I think back to the last time I was in the Sealed Land, if Tang Xiaobao hadn't been clever, he would have been tricked by the Buddha and the Jade Emperor.
"Brother Ximen."
There was a knock on the door outside.
That was Situ Linglong's voice.
Tang Xiaobao opened the door and asked: "Miss Linglong, what are you—"
It turned out that Linglong was carrying a food box.
"I know that Brother Ximen likes to be quiet, so I brought you all the food. My father wanted to entertain you before, but I declined. Please don't blame me for being nosy."
When Linglong spoke, her face turned red with embarrassment.
Tang Xiaobao smiled and said, "You did a great job. I can't even thank you enough."
After saying that, he got out of the way.
Linglong entered the door, opened the food box, took out several plates of exquisite dishes and put them on the table. She also took out a pot of wine and two small wine glasses and filled them.
"Brother Ximen, eat it while it's hot. This is the dish I cooked for you. Try it and see if it suits your taste."
Tang Xiaobao was stunned.
Linglong cooks in person?
Looking at the deep love in the other person's expression, he felt a little nervous in his heart. He coughed but couldn't break it, so he sat down and said very politely, "Actually, I'm not particular about what I eat. In the future, you won't be able to break it either."
There’s no need to specially cook for me, just make do with whatever you want.”
When Situ Linglong heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed across her face.
She could naturally feel that Tang Xiaobao was deliberately rejecting her. This kind of rejection was thousands of miles away, invisible, and most hurtful.
But she gritted her teeth and persisted.
"Come, Brother Ximen, thanks to your help today, our Situ family can escape this catastrophe. I can't repay your kindness to our family and Linglong, so I'd like to toast you."
Situ Linglong raised her glass and said with great emotion.
Tang Xiaobao could only raise his glass and said with a smile: "Some trivial things are not worth mentioning.
Besides, I’m the one who caused the trouble, so I certainly can’t watch you being bullied, and you don’t have to take it to heart.”
"For you, this is a trivial matter, but for Linglong, it is a gift of renewal. If the master does not dislike it, Linglong is willing to stay with the master and serve him as a slave and maid."
Linglong blushed, but looked at Tang Xiaobao bravely.
sweat……
Tang Xiaobao almost spit out his drink.
Is this a confession?
It was too naked, too straightforward, and there was no preparation at all.
His eyes widened and he quickly swallowed a sip of wine. He was a little helpless and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Refuse?
Wouldn't it hurt someone's self-esteem too much?
After all, she is a first-class beauty, and she is the apple of the Situ family's eye. Her reputation spreads far and wide, and many outstanding men usually come here to admire her...
Do you agree?
No, Zhu has incurred too many romantic debts, and the women of the ancient continent are still waiting for him.
For a moment, he was in a dilemma.
But facing Linglong's persistent eyes, Tang Xiaobao knew that he could not pass the test vaguely no matter what.
Okay, let's make it clear.
He put down the wine glass, coughed, and said: "Miss Linglong, I am very grateful and deeply honored for your thoughtfulness. Last night, I made it very clear that I am just a passer-by in the sky. Really?"
I don’t want to waste your youth, I believe you will be able to find a better man than me in the future, that is where your happiness belongs, so I am really sorry.”
Tears welled up in the corners of Linglong's eyes, but she did not give up because of this. She looked at Tang Xiaobao steadily and said: "Brother Ximen, I have sworn before that the husband I am looking for must be an indomitable hero. If he is an unparalleled strong man,
Do you think I can find someone better than you?"
ah??
Tang Xiaobao was stunned.
Yes, is there a better man than me in this world?
First of all, no one can do this better than me.
Is this a disguised compliment to me?
Tang Xiaobao felt a little proud.
He is an honest man and cannot tell lies.
"this--"
"You also know that this is impossible." Linglong continued: "I know that Brother Ximen is so good that many girls must be in love with him. Compared with them, I must not be outstanding. I am not as beautiful as them, and I am not as beautiful as them.
Not as strong as their cultivation
——”
"No, no, no, you misunderstood. In fact, some of them don't know how to practice at all."
Tang Xiaobao blurted out.
He just wanted to comfort Linglong.
Linglong then said: "Then why can't you tolerate Linglong? Am I really that bad? I don't ask for any status. I just want to serve the young master, even if I am a slave."
As she spoke, Linglong's tears flowed down her face.
This made Tang Xiaobao feel a little dizzy for a while.
Women's tears are really deadly weapons.
At least that's the case for him.
He is most afraid of women crying.
"Okay, okay, let's not discuss this matter now, okay? We'll talk about it later, okay?"
Tang Xiaobao said repeatedly: "Don't cry anymore. Your crying makes me feel so guilty. I'm most afraid of women crying. I'm begging you, can you please stop crying?"
Linglong's eyes lit up and her heart moved.
She saw Tang Xiaobao's panic and immediately felt hope.
It turns out you are so soft-hearted, it turns out you are not hard-hearted, aren't you afraid that I will cry, then I will cry to you... Okay, not now, the time is not right, and we can't make him anxious.
She thought so in her heart, and put away her tears. Deng looked like he was about to cry, pitiful for his life, and just stood silently next to Tang Xiaobao to serve him.
"Brother Ximen, it's my fault for making you upset. I won't cry anymore. Let's talk about this later. You eat first. Come, I'll pour you some wine."
She poured wine for Tang Xiaobao.
Seems very well-behaved.
Tang Xiaobao breathed a sigh of relief.
Well, not bad, he is very sensible and not unreasonable.
"As long as you don't cry, that's fine. Just don't cry."
Tang Xiaobao said quickly.
He had just eaten a few mouthfuls when his body suddenly became tense.
It turned out that Linglong turned behind him at this time and was pressing his shoulders obediently.
It's the hardest to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman.
Such a close distance and such intimate contact simply made Tang Xiaobao...
Well, he really enjoyed it, even a little intoxicated, but also a little awkward and worried.
He was afraid that if things continued like this, it would be difficult to get rid of Linglong's entanglement in the future.
She is indeed a top-notch one, but am I really a stallion? Can I really not bear the thought of going out without bringing one or a few beauties back with me?
