It is very unpleasant to chat with Lu Bei. Even if you ignore him, he can still find a way to make you very angry.
She Xuan secretly thought that anger was harmful to the body. Her body was her own, so there was no need for her to get hurt because of Lu Bei. She went straight to the part of seeing him off: "Master Lu, why did you come to my shop when you are not making a fortune at Sanqing Peak?"
"It's really heartwarming that you found out about my family background so quickly. Aunt She, I appreciate your concern." Lu Bei looked flattered.
"Master Lu, you are joking. I should show my concern."
She Xuan said unhappily, "The headquarters of Sitong Trading Company is in Langyu County. We have many partners in Dongyang County and a wide range of sales channels. In order to expand the scale in the past few years, we recruited many small owners, and I am one of them. Master Lu and Zhu's Trading Company have taken away the Lingzhu business, causing my monthly income to shrink. I miss Master Lu day and night!"
Speaking of this, She Xuan secretly cursed her bad luck.
Since she met Lu Bei, she has never had good luck. First, she was defeated twice in the underground palace and swore a blood oath that she could not control herself. Then her business was intercepted, as if Lu Bei was her nemesis. It was so weird.
"There is such a thing?!"
Lu Bei smiled awkwardly: "It's a small world. Maybe... this is what they call fate!"
"Master Lu, what are you doing here?"
She Xuan once again started seeing off the guests, telling Lu Bei to fart quickly and leave immediately after he was done.
"Two things."
Lu Bei's face straightened: "First, Aunt She, you are a demon cultivator. Although your strength is not high and your vision is average, you have been practicing for decades and are considered experienced. I have a few questions about demon cultivation that I would like to consult you on."
She Xuan: “…”
"I have a friend whose pet demon is about to transform into a human, and he asked me for some suitable skills. It just so happened that I picked up a few books in the underground palace last time. Can my friend's pet demon be used? If not, Aunt Snake, do you have any suitable skills on hand?" Lu Bei asked.
"It depends on the situation. Generally speaking, it's not possible."
"Why, aren't they all demon cultivators?"
"Demon cultivators are just a general term. We need to analyze each case individually. It's too complicated to say too much..."
She Xuan frowned for a moment and said, "To put it simply, we are both demon cultivators. The demon pet you raise is essentially a demon, and I am a human. Do you understand?"
"My friend raised it."
Lu Bei spoke loudly, and seeing She Xuan sneer in response, he changed the subject and said, "Aunt Snake, is it possible for me to become a demon cultivator like you?"
"You want a blood transfusion?"
She Xuan was surprised and said, "As far as I know, this is indeed possible. The Ten Thousand Demons Nation has tried it before, but the risk is too great and only one in ten survives, so there is no further news."
Halfway through her words, She Xuan suddenly froze, her cold tone turned warm, and she said with concern: "But that's someone else. You are different. Not only do you have great luck, but your physique is also far superior to that of ordinary people. Good people are blessed by heaven, and the possibility of success is very high. I suggest you give it a try."
Lu Bei rolled his eyes: "Aunt Snake, is this how you repay your lifesaver?"
"When did you become my savior?" She Xuan laughed angrily.
"I had the knife on your neck at that time, and you survived because of me. Isn't this a life-saving grace?"
"… "
"The second thing is, last time in the underground palace, Aunt Snake, you mentioned another business and invited me to join you. I didn't ask much at the time. Please tell me in detail."
Lu Bei narrowed his eyes slightly. Let’s be frank. He has lost his experience and is here to take on a mission.
"Can."
She Xuan nodded. Although she was unhappy with the subordinate relationship between herself and Lu Bei, she had to admit that because of this passive relationship, the level of trust between her and Lu Bei was higher than that between anyone else.
In fact, even if Lu Bei didn't mention it, she would take the initiative to come to him for this matter.
Then, She Xuan explained the situation of the ruins. It was indeed a tomb, but it was not the tomb of the ancestors of the Zhu family, but the tomb of the royal descendants of the Qingqian Dynasty.
In the world of Kyushu, a hundred years can be called a dynasty, five hundred years can be called an imperial dynasty, and a thousand years can be called a divine dynasty.
The Qingqian Kingdom was founded long before the Wu Zhou Dynasty. It had vast territory, rich resources, and strong national strength, but it was destroyed due to internal and external troubles. It was only a few decades away from becoming a thousand-year divine dynasty.
Wu Zhou should bear a large part of the responsibility for the external threats here.
When Wu Zhou was founded, Qingqian's national strength had seriously declined, and internal strife and conflict continued. The general trend was irreversible, and even if there was a leader who wanted to revive the country, there was nothing he could do. The country would be destroyed within three generations.
One was a fully armed strong man, and the other was a sick man leaning on an IV stand. The result was self-evident. The two countries met on the battlefield, and Wu Zhou pinned Qing Qian to the ground and beat him up.
The war was fought several times, and each time Qingqian ceded land and paid compensation. The Battle of Dashengguan was one of the more famous ones.
Let me put it this way, the three states and a dozen counties in the eastern part of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, such as Dongqi County and Dongyang County, were all Qingqian's territory eight hundred years ago.
Naturally, the surrounding countries were unwilling to let Wu Zhou enjoy such a delicious piece of fat meat alone. Tigers and wolves swarmed over it, and the sick man was full of big men. The loss of the country with hatred became a part of history.
After the fall of Qingqian, the surviving royal family members lay dormant for a hundred years and plotted several times to restore the country. Although they all ended in failure, their bloodline has not been cut off to this day.
The descendants of Qing Qian deeply hated Wu Zhou. If Wu Zhou had not launched an invasion, Qing Qian would definitely have been able to advance into the ranks of the Millennium Divine Dynasties; if Wu Zhou had not lifted the last fig leaf, Qing Qian would not have fallen into a dead end of siege by multiple countries; if Wu Zhou had not issued a wanted warrant, they would not have hidden themselves like rats crossing the street.
In a word, Wu Zhou deserves to die.
This also explains why the blood mechanism of the Qingqian royal family's tomb has nothing to do with their own descendants, but instead requires the blood of the Zhu family to open it.
His hatred was so deep that he wished to drain all the blood of the Zhu family at once.
This trip was not in vain. While She Xuan was talking, a message appeared on the personal panel saying that you have a new task, please check it.
[You have received the task [Ruins Exploration]]
[Mission Description: An ancient tomb from a previous dynasty has attracted the attention of many parties. There seems to be some unknown secret hidden in it. Is it a conspiracy or something else? Who is behind it? Aren’t you curious?]
[Main Quest: Survival, Reward: 800,000 Experience Points]
[Main quest: Explore the ruins and be rewarded according to your contribution]
[Side quest: Not triggered]
[Do you accept?]
[whether]
Lu Bei frowned and remained silent. It was difficult for him to refuse the 800,000 basic experience points reward, but the mission description made him hesitant. There was another hidden story behind this exploration of the ruins, which was very likely to involve the main mission of version 1.0. With his current strength, he could bully the weak ones, but once he was involved in the competition among major forces, he would be serving food to others.
"Why don't you say anything? Because the blood mechanism requires the blood of the Zhu family and you don't want to get into trouble?" She Xuan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Last time in the cave of the demon cultivator, you were much braver than you are now."
"Don't get excited, it won't work on me."
Lu Bei shook his head. In the end, he could not defeat the enemy of experience. The brave ones would die of overeating while the timid ones would die of starvation. He had to do this.
Looking at the bright side, if it really involves the main task of version 1.0, any one of them can bring him long-term and huge experience gains, and it would be a pity to give up the task.
Lu Bei glanced at his personal panel and saw that his attributes that had skyrocketed overnight suddenly became worse. He pondered for a moment and fixed his gaze on She Xuan.
The naked gaze was not concealed at all, full of provocation. She Xuan, who was lying on her side, shuddered, sat up suddenly, frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Come on, follow me out of the city and find a place where there is no one."
"do what!"
"You are so resentful, I will help you vent your anger."
Lu Bei stood up and said, "I know Aunt Snake is very upset with me. I'll give you a chance. Let's have a fight. Regardless of the outcome, I won't pursue the matter."
"Are you serious? What if I hurt you?"
She Xuan was secretly delighted and asked without changing her expression. Based on her understanding of Lu Bei, he could eat anything but would not suffer any loss. If he suddenly started doing good deeds, there was a high chance that he was setting a trap for her with bad intentions.
Must ask clearly.
"If you get hurt, it's my fault."
Lu Bei stretched his arms and legs and said, "Stop talking nonsense. I know you are afraid that I will cheat you, so I just want to ask you a question. Now I will give you a chance to beat me up. Will you beat me up?"
"beat!"
She Xuan was firm and said that as long as she could beat Lu Bei once, she would accept the trap.
