Recap
Shen Chaomu tentatively knocked on the door: “Shi Yu?”
There was no sound inside.
“Long Shiyu?”
There was still no sound.
Shen Chaomu felt something was wrong, so he pushed the door open and entered.
The room was in a mess, the windows were wide open, and the curtains were fluttering in the cold wind on the seventeenth floor.
Long Shiyu disappeared.
Long Shiyu was sad.
He still remembered the look in Shen Chaomu’s eyes when he mentioned him before – like a destined enemy.
He didn’t want to see the princess looking at him with that kind of eyes, he didn’t dare to look at Shen Chaomu’s expression just now, he jumped up and down in the room for a while and ran out.
Will Shen Chaomu forgive him?
Before, Shen Chaomu was angry because of the princess, and he didn’t see him again for several months.
He doesn’t know how long Shen Chaomu won’t want to see him for this kind of thing.
Long Shiyu carefully recalled the fairy tale.
Except for the ones Shen Chaomu gave him, all the other princesses were rescued by the hero, and they never looked back. These stories couldn’t provide him with any inspiration at all, and they were of no help to the current situation.
It was late at night, and the coldness of Meistan permeated every corner.
The area near the main city is a severely polluted area, and even at this time, it is still brightly lit.
The mercenaries have been active frequently recently, but there are still many people walking around in the most prosperous central square, and laughter and disco music can be heard from most of the lively shops.
Long Shiyu sat by the fountain in the square, still at a loss.
A group of pigeons were drinking water beside him, but he scared them away. Small animals are not like those sensitive alien beasts, they can’t feel his threat, they stare at him bitterly from a distance.
Long Shiyu was sad for a while, then recovered a little, and began to carefully plan the apology.
Judging from his understanding of human beings over the years, they all like money, power and beauty. He couldn’t give the last two, so in the final analysis, he had to start with money.
But his treasure house has not been found yet.
He took out the terminal and checked the recent starship flights, but none of them went to that place. Moreover, the instrument that Buck gave him to locate the treasure house was still in Shen Chaomu’s hands.
No solution.
Long Shiyu withered.
A few minutes later, his eyes suddenly fell on the storefront of a shop next to him.
The shop logo is a green Tyrannosaurus rex, with cartoon eyes, open mouth and chubby body, with very short hands. The big characters on the holographic projection next to it read: Recruitment.
…It seems that he can only pick up his old gig.
Long Shiyu restrained his emotions and walked into the fruit shop.
The shop is not big, and the service robot broke down. The proprietress was still busy so late, and when Long Shiyu explained his purpose to her, her eyes lit up, and she explained: “You don’t have to worry about anything, it’s a very simple job.”
“So, do I just need to stand at the door and greet people?”
“Yes, just for the five or six days of activity in the store.”
Long Shiyu carefully calculated his salary.
The prices here are high and the wages are also high. It is 300 yuan a day, and after six days… After six days, it is not even half a day’s salary of the princess.
He was sad again.
What can I use to apologize to Shen Chaomu?
“So, do you want to do it?” the proprietress asked, putting the last durian into the freezer, “From eight in the morning to nine in the evening, with an hour’s rest in between, and half an hour at night.”
Long Shiyu thought about it again, he only has 30 yuan on him now, which was left over from working a long time ago, so he might as well earn some first.
At least save enough money for a few large bouquets of roses.
He nodded: “Okay.”
The proprietress didn’t plan to rest tonight either, so Long Shiyu helped her tidy up the shelves.
After neatly arranging another box of strawberries, the proprietress straightened up and wiped her sweat: “Oh, little friend, you are so kind.”
“I’m not a child, I’m many years old.”
“It’s all in my eyes,” said the proprietress, “I wish I was as old as you, so I wouldn’t have to worry about wrinkles, my waist wouldn’t hurt, it’s really good to be young.”
Long Shiyu: “…”
There are still two boxes of fruit that have not been moved out. They went to the warehouse again, and the proprietress chattered: “Those repairmen are so slow, the last time the machine broke down, it took them a whole day to come. The remaining box will have to wait until tomorrow.”
The box she was talking about was taller than a person, square, and full of alien watermelons.
“It’s okay,” Long Shiyu said, “I can take it.”
He easily picked up the box and went back to the store.
The proprietress was startled, and after Long Shiyu put down the watermelon, she asked, “You are so strong, I don’t seem to feel any spiritual power in you?”
(Please read this translation on littlegremlintranslate.blog, thank you.)
“It’s innate.”
“Then your bones are quite amazing.”
After sitting in the store for a while, Long Shiyu subconsciously wanted to take out the terminal to play Landlords, but then he remembered that he couldn’t even afford Happy Beans.
So he stared at those alien watermelons in a daze.
The proprietress noticed his gaze, cut a watermelon and stuffed it to him, then lowered her head and continued to count other fruits.
When she looked up again, the big watermelon was gone… not even the rind.
She was stunned for a moment, thinking that she should have a good rest today, and this illusion came out.
It’s almost eight o’clock in the morning.
Long Shiyu changed into the plush clothes that the proprietress gave him.
It is the shape on the facade, a green and chubby Tyrannosaurus rex.
The storefront projected by him floated beside him. After receiving the electronic leaflets of the fruit shop on the terminal, he began to wander around the square, and when he saw people, he said, “Sir, come and have a look, there are special offers at the Tyrannosaurus Rex Fruit Shop!”
This central square is the place with the largest flow of people in Meistan. Today is Saturday, and the crowd is even denser.
Most of the shops are electronically advertised, with virtual characters standing at the door with smiles. This kind of real person wearing plush clothes is the rarest.
Facts have proved that this is indeed more attractive.
Long Shiyu’s attitude was very good, and his face was sincere. No one could refuse him, and he quickly sent out leaflets one by one. But the plush clothes were a bit bulky, and he returned to the time of the face dragon in Bei En. When he swayed past the fountain, there were children stumbling behind him, trying to grab the big green tail.
The morning work went very smoothly. When he returned to the store during the lunch break, the proprietress greeted him: “Thank you for your hard work, come here, this is the freshly cut peach.”
The peach flesh is crystal clear, juicy and delicious. Long Shiyu ate a lot in a row.
Lunch is provided in the store, which is a normal lunch box. While eating, the proprietress turned on the TV, and it happened to be broadcasting the scene about the mercenaries.
Just half an hour ago, one of their underground locations was cleared by the association. It seems that the area is still very dangerous, and the news reminds residents not to go there.
In the scene, Long Shiyu saw Shen Chaomu’s figure.
The fleeting profile is still so beautiful.
Long Shiyu felt sad from his heart, and took two mouthfuls of food fiercely.
After eating the lunch box, he was still hungry, but after all, he had to save money, so he used sleep to reduce consumption according to his old habit. After waking up, he was still hungry. After checking the price of the best-looking rose online, he was reluctant to buy another lunch box.
He’s starting to miss his princess.
In the afternoon, he worked hard again, and there were a lot of messages from Shen Chaomu on the terminal, but Long Shiyu still dared not read them, and even wanted to cry out.
At six o’clock, he sat in the shop, eating while watching the news.
Shen Chaomu appeared on the screen again. It seemed that he had been busy all day and hadn’t had time to rest.
The proprietress next to her said with a rice bowl: “Oh, it’s really young and promising. My daughter likes him so much, she regards him as an idol.”
Long Shiyu sadly took a mouthful of food.
The proprietress asked again: “I see you are so young, why did you come out to work? Didn’t you go to university?”
“No, but I swept the floor in college.”
The proprietress’s eyes on him suddenly changed, and she said cautiously: “You… Actually, you can apply for student aid. It is not easy to apply for student aid in Meistan, but if you go to other planets, there is still hope.”
“Actually, I’m not very interested in going to school,” Long Shiyu started to eat cauliflower, “It’s not very suitable for me.”
He used to sweep the floor in a sports school. The boxing teacher there saw him sweeping the floor every day, and his eyes were full of longing when he looked at the students, so he secretly allowed him to train together and learn some theoretical knowledge – the teacher didn’t know , Long Shiyu was staring at the students’ lunch.
It was hard to resist the kindness, so he went to a class later. Several enthusiastic students said they would take him to practice and teach him.
Facts have proved that under absolute power, skills are not worth mentioning at all.
Long Shiyu directly blew up the AI robot he was practicing with.
The proprietress wouldn’t try to persuade someone she just met for a day, and quickly changed the subject: “Where is your hometown? You don’t sound like a local.”
Long Shiyu thought for a while: “I don’t know either, it should be in a faraway place.”
“Where are your family members?”
“No.”
The proprietress paused, her heart filled with even more pity. She said: “Then…you came here by yourself?”
“It’s not true, someone…came with me.” Long Shiyu became sad when he mentioned this matter, “But he is angry with me now, so I ran out.”
“Oh, it’s just a runaway because of a fight,” the proprietress patted her thigh, “What’s the big deal about being angry? If you do something wrong, just apologize. I don’t think you are the kind of person who does evil.”
“Oh.” Long Shiyu finished the last bite of food, “But it may be useless…”
“It’s useful, it’s useful. My daughter often has these kinds of adolescent problems, and they haven’t been solved like this?”
“I’m really not a kid anymore.”
“The same reason.”
“…”
“Some things really need to be explained clearly, otherwise, what a pity.” The proprietress hammered her waist, “After all, we can only live once.”
Long Shiyu was still handing out flyers in the evening, and the square was brightly lit.
After handing out another flyer, corn kernels were scattered all over the ground by the fountain, and pigeons scrambled to pounce on the people feeding them, flapping their wings.
No one heard the faint sound of thunder from the sky.
Long Shiyu turned around abruptly.
He smelled the smell of Royasno, not far away, even… very close.
That guy was actually here, so presumably, Shen Di was also here.
He used to be afraid of Royasno because of injuries, but now that the injuries are healed, he has no reason to avoid it anymore. And as if being blocked by Shen Di, Royasno was not in a hurry to find Long Shiyu as before.
So, he has been waiting for this moment for the past two months.
In an instant, his blood boiled, and he turned and walked in that direction.
It was still a bit difficult to track without spiritual power. He followed the breath and thunder all the way, and he came to the very edge of the main city.
There are intricate alleys in front of him, and there are still residual arcs in the air, and a corpse fell at the end.
It was a succubus’ corpse.
This succubus was originally mixed in the crowd, but somehow provoked Royasno, and now there are terrible bite marks around the corpse.
Long Shiyu and Shen Chaomu had also seen such gnawed corpses on other planets before, most of them were relatively strong alien beasts, and their bones were piled up in the outskirts.
It’s like deliberately feeding Royasno.
Long Shiyu frowned slightly, and walked forward again, and soon reached the edge area – most of which are unfinished buildings, and no one usually comes here.
Without the patrols of robots and guards, there are no street lights in this area, which immediately looks desolate and eerie.
He saw several corpses of small alien beasts one after another. It seemed that they were attracted by the smell of blood. In the darkness, there were faint night ghosts moving, saliva dripping from their mouths, and they flashed past the broken wall.
The plush clothes still had to be returned to the proprietress, Long Shiyu didn’t want to damage them, so he just kicked away the pounced night ghost – although it was a light kick, their spines were directly broken, softly It fell by the side of the road.
Royasno’s breath is disappearing.
He quickened his pace and walked into the darkness.
…
Shen Chaomu drove through the streets and alleys, and asked again: “So, where did you see him last?”
“At the corner of Fifth Avenue, then he turned right and crossed the cordon to the edge.” Yang Zhiming said, “To be precise, the guard robot was smashed by him, and it is still paralyzed on the side of the road smoking. Then he broke through the cordon… Then I couldn’t find the surveillance, there are many blind spots there.”
Shen Chaomu continued to chase after him, and soon his spiritual power caught Long Shiyu’s remaining breath.
There was another new message on the terminal, sent by the elders of the family: “Chaomu, do you have time now? I found some information about Shen Xing you asked.”
Shen Chaomu just replied hastily: “Wait a minute, I have something to do.”
Last night, the ball dragon cried and escaped through the window.
Shen Chaomu found Long Shiyu effortlessly——
The main reason is that Long Shiyu ran to the central square 800 meters away from the hotel.
At the beginning, when Shen Chaomu followed the trail to hunt, it only took him half a month to find Long Shiyu. This distance of 800 meters…basically does not exist.
The most frightening thing is that Long Shiyu seemed to think that this distance was enough, very safe, and sat by the fountain foolishly for more than half an hour.
The dragon’s head is filled with things he doesn’t understand again.
However, after much hesitation, Shen Chaomu still did not show up in the past.
He knew that he was destined to be defeated by the ying ying wave attack.
But before that, how to deal with it? Guessing is one thing, confirming is another. It is impossible to say that he is not angry at all, even though he himself has not yet figured out how to face Long Shiyu.
So for how long Long Shiyu sat by the fountain, Shen Chaomu stayed with him in the dark for how long, until he watched him enter the fruit shop, and then left because of the urgent task of the association.
Even after he left, he asked a friend from the association who was on vacation to help keep an eye on him. The other party agreed very readily with the expression “I knew it was a little lover’s quarrel”.
Originally everything went very smoothly, he planned to have a good talk with Long Shiyu after a day of running around.
Unexpectedly, when that friend went to the bathroom for five minutes, Long Shiyu disappeared.
Shen Chaomu rushed over all the way, chasing in the direction Long Shiyu went. He also heard the faint sound of thunder in the air, and he knew that it must be related to the old Dragon King.
His heart beat fast, and his palms were slightly sweating. He hadn’t been so nervous for a long time.
What if, what if Shen Di designed something again? What should Long Shiyu, such a weak and helpless dragon, do?
He shouldn’t hesitate, no matter what his attitude is, whether he is angry or not, it is the right way to catch the dragon home first.
The car drove through the dim edge area, and he saw a few dead night ghosts by the side of the road.
Long Shiyu’s breath was getting closer and closer, and after another sharp turn, he came to an alley where the car could not be seen.
Shen Chaomu got out of the car and hurriedly chased after him. The road was pitch black, as if there was no end in sight, so depressing that he could hardly breathe.
Finally at the end of the alley, a… Tyrannosaurus Rex appeared?
The plush Tyrannosaurus Rex was green, with big cartoon eyes, its mouth open with a magical smile, and a thick tail behind it.
He doesn’t know what the situation here is. Shen Chaomu has been using his spiritual power to suppress his whereabouts all the way. The Tyrannosaurus Rex only discovered him now, froze after turning around slightly, and then ran forward as if his life was on the line!
The plush clothes were soft and fluffy, and during the running process, the Tyrannosaurus rex’s head kept shaking up, down, left, and right 360 degrees, and its tail was swinging left and right, left and right——
Though it was strange and magical, it was unbelievably fast!
It was the kind on the wanted poster!
Golden light flakes gathered into a barrier in front of him, firmly blocking his way. Shen Chaomu shouted: “Long Shiyu!”
The Tyrannosaurus rex shivered all over, and forcibly knocked a dragon-shaped hole in the golden barrier, and ran faster with its cartoon head shaking.
Shen Chaomu: “…”
There are really not many strange beasts that can directly break through his spiritual power.
…Should he say it is worthy of the Akasa Mo?
In the darkness, Long Shiyu was terrified and ran desperately, but the clothes couldn’t be damaged, and he couldn’t spread his wings and fly away directly.
Why was he caught by the princess here!
After turning another corner, the footsteps behind him suddenly disappeared.
Long Shiyu ran a few more steps, and looked back hesitantly.
What happened to the princess?
For a while, there was silence around, and there was no sound.
…Did something happen to the princess?
Long Shiyu immediately turned around and poked his head out from the corner.
Shen Chaomu was sitting on the ground, seemingly in great pain.
Long Shiyu: “Ying.” The princess sprained her foot qaq
He felt distressed, and hurried over: “You…”
The cartoon headgear was grabbed.
Long Shiyu: “?”
Shen Chaomu, who was still in “pain” just now, raised his head, grabbed Long Shiyu’s headgear with one hand and forced him to lower his head, hugged him, and kissed him.
Unlike the gentle kiss on the overpass last time, this time he kissed very deeply, his lips and teeth intertwined, firmly holding Long Shiyu to prevent him from escaping.
The Tyrannosaurus rex quickly became dazed in his arms, a big soft lump, only able to grasp his shoulders weakly.
After a kiss, there was silence.
Shen Chaomu looked at him, his voice slightly hoarse: “…You are right, I am indeed very angry. But I also said in the bedtime story before, do you still remember the ending?”
“What, what?” Long Shiyu was still in a daze, subconsciously licking his lips.
“I said at the time, although the princess also likes the evil dragon very much, but after all, they have different lifespans. Mr. Evil Dragon seems to have a lot of pasts, some of which may make the princess unhappy.”
“So one night, the princess whispered to the evil dragon.”
“There will always be a day when we share all our secrets, and I still like you.”
