The Protagonist Only Thinks About Falling In Love

After making a fuss in the middle of the night, Lan Xuan just closed his eyes and fell asleep.

He had a long dream, which happened a few months ago——

The sleeping dragon was awakened in his lair, and those mortals looked forward to his arrival and offered him good sacrifices.

Yue Kingdom held a sacrificial ceremony, which was a time when Lan Xuan was rarely able to come out, and the ceremony lasted for three days.

In the bustling streets and crowded streets, Lan Xuan's original appearance was too eye-catching, so he imitated the appearance of a mortal and turned into a child.

Street performers were performing acrobatics, surrounded by crowds, and applause continued to spread.

Lan Xuan mingled among them, staring at the busker with wide-eyed eyes. Every time it was over, the busker would ask for silver taels. He didn't have any silver taels, so he threw away beautiful beads.

"Don't miss it when you pass by, take a look!" The handsome man smiled, with hemp rope tied in his hands, and others couldn't help but stop for a moment because of his good-looking appearance.

The man is Xie Songzhou.

I saw him break free from the rope with a few strokes, the rope was still intact, and he turned the rope into a flower with his backhand like a magic trick.

"it is good!"

The people around clapped and came down a few times. With a smile in his eyes and a charming expression between his brows, he clasped his hands and said, "Those who have money will give money, and those who have no money will give money. Thank you, folks..."

Throwing copper coins into the basin, there was a sound of "boom", and a night pearl the size of a baby's fist fell into the basin, and others gasped when they saw it.

"Which young master is so generous?"

"Did you see who it was just now?"

"I do not know……"

The entertainer Xie Songzhou also had a meal, took Ye Mingzhu out of the basin, looked around, and saw people whispering to each other.

During the two days of sacrificial ceremony in the palace city, even the common people were very lively. When Xie Songzhou was collecting money on the second day, another pearl of unknown origin fell into his basin. It was a pearl the size of a fingernail. Same way as yesterday.

Xie Songzhou took over the stall, wondering who was being taken advantage of.

At that time, Lanxuan, who was wronged, followed the old man who sold candied haws all the way. Because he didn't have the money of mortals, he couldn't buy candied haws, so he was targeted by two traffickers.

"Where's your father?"

"Want to eat candied haws? I'll buy them for you. There are more over there."

"Come, come with us, eat as much as you want."

Lanxuan followed them and came to a small alley, a little impatient, and wanted to turn around and leave, but was blocked by those two people one behind the other.

"Where to go?"

"Get out of the way." Lan Xuan's eyes were cold, and he was moved to kill him. He already knew that these two people were lying to him, and he heard their whispers, saying that his appearance could be sold for a good price.

"Don't you want to eat candied haws? Look, it's just a little walk away."

"You lied to me."

When the other party saw that he had discovered the clue, he simply tore off the disguise, "Be more obedient, we can still treat you well..."

Before the two of them could finish their threatening words, another voice came in.

"Ugh?"

In the middle of the gap between the two rooms, the man walked over with a dangling figure, then turned around, leaned back, and looked at them from the gap between the two rooms.

This is Xie Songzhou who has just closed the stall. He is carrying a burden on his shoulder in his right hand. He is wearing a black robe. He strolls through the courtyard, "What are you doing?"

"Stop meddling in your own business!"

He glanced at the three of them, "This kid is not yours, is it?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" The other party stretched out his hand and wanted to cover Lanxuan's face.

"What nonsense." Xie Songzhou stretched out his hand, just in time to grab Lan Xuan who was retreating to avoid the two people, "Look at the clothes on you, you know that you are not a family."

Lan Xuan dressed either richly or expensively, compared to those two people, he was dressed in coarse linen clothes, he didn't look like a servant.

The other party was punctured, and became angry from embarrassment. To deal with these people, Xie Songzhou didn't even bother to get out of the sheath, so he solved it in twos and twos. He took out hemp rope to tie them up, threw them on the street, pasted a note saying "this is a human trafficker", and turned his head Seeing that the child was still watching him quietly not far away.

"Hey, why are you following them?" Xie Songzhou knelt down and asked.

Lan Xuan glanced at them, both of them had already fainted, he said: "They said to take me to eat candied haws."

"Which kid is so unguarded." Xie Songzhou impatiently took him slowly, reached out to pick him up, sat on his right shoulder, and stuffed a packet of dried fruit wrapped in oiled paper into his hand, Said, "Eat, tell me, where is your home?"

It just so happened that a big-spending spectator came these two days, so he had the money to buy some snacks.

Lan Xuan looked around and pointed in a direction.

Xie Songzhou led him to turn left and right, and arrived in front of a mansion, "Is this your home?"

The child on the shoulder said "hmm".

He put the man down from his shoulders, "Next time, don't just walk with anyone."

The child nodded, raised his head and asked, "Are you leaving?"

"Yeah." Xie Songzhou smiled, bent over and tapped his forehead with his index finger, "Go back."

"Your eyes are beautiful." The child in front of him suddenly said.

Xie Songzhou raised his eyebrows.

And in the next moment, the innocent and cruel words came out of the child's mouth, "Can you give it to me?"

"Do you know why the eyes are beautiful?" Xie Songzhou squatted down, looked at him at the same level, and said, "Because the eyes—"

He raised his hand and pointed the corner of his eye with his index finger, "It's inside, so it's beautiful, if you take it out, it will deprive it of its vitality, it will soon rot, become ugly, and become disgusting, children, beautiful things , is to be protected, if you just blindly want to take it for yourself, maybe it will be destroyed."

……

The scenes in Lanxuan's dream were messy, sometimes it was Xie Songzhou performing on the street, sometimes it was Xie Songzhou looking into his eyes with a smile.

There seemed to be stars in his eyes, full of smiles all the time, very beautiful.

Later, after the sacrificial ceremony, he returned to the cave, and became manic because he reached adulthood, and it was not long after that that someone invaded his territory, and he didn't want to care about it. The monsters in the forest were enough to kill those people. shredded.

But he heard the familiar flute.

It is he who has come.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk"——

From night to day outside the sky, there was a knock on the door, and the jug on the table in the room was tilted, Xie Songzhou was not sleeping deeply on the bed, and when the knock on the door sounded, he woke up.

Last night Lanxuan held onto his sleeve and did not let go, so he slept on the outer edge of the bed, inside was Lanxuan, Lanxuan's forehead rested on his back shoulder, and his hand was still clutching his sleeve, when Xie Songzhou got up, his hair was pressed caught.

"Brother Xie, are you up yet?" Cheng Cheyuan's voice came from outside.

Lan Xuan opened his eyes sleepily, and looked at Xie Songzhou for a long time.

"Are you awake? Let go first." Xie Songzhou tugged at his sleeves.

Lan Xuan let go of him, sat up, Xie Songzhou saved his hair, got out of bed, put on his shoes and opened the door.

The door of the guest room was open, and Cheng Cheyuan stood at the door, "Brother Xie... just woke up?"

"Young Master Cheng laughed at me. I just went through a frightening event and was frightened. Now that I'm out, I'm snoozing." Xie Songzhou asked, "Mr. Cheng, what's the matter?"

Cheng Cheyuan always felt that the first half of his sentence was not very real.

"Breakfast is prepared outside, brother Xie and Mr. Lan, do you want to eat together?" Cheng Cheyuan asked.

Xie Songzhou: "Thank you, we will go down later."

"Okay." Cheng Cheyuan turned and left.

After his figure disappeared at the stairs, Xie Songzhou closed the door, and he returned to the bed, "It's time to get up, go down to eat."

Lan Xuan: "No."

"If you are sleepy, you can rest on it first." Xie Songzhou put on his coat, tied up his hair, turned his head and saw Lan Xuan got off the bed slowly, and handed him the hairpin.

Xie Songzhou took it and tied his hair, "It's better for you to drink less in the future."

Lan Xuan: "Why?"

Xie Songzhou asked: "Don't you remember what happened last night?"

Lan Xuan was puzzled: "What happened last night?"

Xie Songzhou pursed the corners of his lower lips, it was obviously nothing serious, and he murmured in an ambiguous tone, "Last night..."

"That's all," he said, "you forget it and forget it."

Lan Xuan's curiosity was aroused, and he tugged on his sleeve, "What happened last night?"

"Wait until you remember it yourself someday."

Lan Xuan's heart was tickled, but in retrospect, the memory of last night was extremely blurred, only Xie Songzhou's eyes were in his mind.

The two went downstairs together.

There were not many guests in the inn in the morning, and the waiter came in and out with dishes. When Xie Songzhou went downstairs, he saw Cheng Cheyuan and the others at a glance, and they were divided into three tables and sat together.

Xie Songzhou and Lan Xuan sat at another table.

Now that they came out, those people were not as afraid of them as they were inside. They each exchanged eye contact for a moment, ignoring them and continuing what they said earlier.

Those people talked about the luck of being alive after the catastrophe, describing the scene at that time, Xie Songzhou listened, picked up vegetables for Lan Xuan, and took a sip of water himself.

Lan Xuan's attitude towards Cheng Cheyuan made Xie Songzhou want to have a deeper understanding of the matter, maybe there would be something involved.

The Cheng family is the one with the most rumors about dragons in the world of cultivating immortals. Xie Songzhou wanted to check it out.

After breakfast, the group was about to go upstairs, Xie Songzhou stopped Cheng Cheyuan, and Cheng Cheyuan sat down at their table.

"What is Mr. Cheng's plan for the future?" Xie Songzhou asked.

"Send them back to the palace, if there is any danger on the way, it's better to be in time... Brother Xie, if you ask this, do you intend to go with us?"

"Since the mission released this time has not been completed, I will not leave with you." Xie Songzhou said with a smile, "Those people should also be worried about us. "

Cheng Cheyuan felt a little pity, but he didn't force him to stay.

Xie Songzhou: "Actually, I have always had doubts about the Cheng family, which is famous for cultivating immortals. I don't know if I should ask."

"Just ask."

"It's rumored outside that your Cheng family is capable of subduing dragons. Is this true?"

Cheng Cheyuan smiled helplessly, "Brother Xie, you don't know, I'm just a side branch, and I'm not so clear about those things."

Xie Songzhou saw that he didn't seem to be lying, "Then your token is..."

"The Patriarch of the Cheng family asked me to bring the token." Cheng Cheyuan noticed that Xie Songzhou was quite concerned about the token, and asked, "But what's the problem?"

"No, just ask." Xie Songzhou said.

These coincidences made Xie Songzhou think that the Cheng family and Lanxuan were inextricably linked.

Cheng Cheyuan: "I don't know when we will meet after this farewell. After you leave the city, go east. There is a Wangyang City over there. It is a place where monks often come and go. There is a teleportation array that can go directly to the place you want to go. The place."

"Thank you." Xie Songzhou said, "Xie has something else to ask."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Master Cheng, can you lend me some silver taels?"

"……what?"

Street people and carriages passed through the street, there were not many pedestrians, Xie Songzhou took Lan Xuan to the street and stopped in front of a shop.

"Guest officer, please, what do you think you want to buy?" The shopkeeper looked at them all over and saw that Xie Songzhou's robe was torn in several places, and said, "The clothes are here."

"Buy shoes." Xie Songzhou said.

"Then take a look here." The shopkeeper said, "These are all high-quality materials. If you touch them, the soles are moderately soft and hard, and they fit very well."

Xie Songzhou glanced over the shoe rack and asked Lan Xuan, "Which pair do you like?"

Lan Xuan took a look and said, "Whatever."

Xie Songzhou then took a pair of gold-edged and white-soled boots, looked at the size, and measured it with his hands. It should be something that Lan Xuan can wear.

"Just these pairs." Xie Songzhou asked Lan Xuan.

Lan Xuan had no objection, Xie Songzhou took out the kit hanging from his waist, and poured it out in the palm of his hand. The few pieces of silver were borrowed by him and Cheng Cheyuan before going out.

He bought this pair of shoes and asked Lan Xuan to wear them.

Lan Xuan, who had just gotten new shoes, would look down at them from time to time as he walked all the way back.

The consequence of lowering your head and not looking at the road is that someone accidentally stepped on your shoe.

On the side of the street, a basin of water had just been poured in front of a shop, and there was a small stall selling jade ornaments next to it. , bumped into Lan Xuan's body, and even stepped on his newly bought shoes.

The man just stepped on the wet spot on the ground, leaving a big, black footprint on Lan Xuan's shoe.

"Which bastard with no eyes, put it on me—" The man turned his head cursingly, and saw Lan Xuan's face.

It was a face that would surprise people even if they were men, the man changed his tone, "Yo, it's okay..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was smashed on the bench beside him with a loud "bang", and the bench was broken into two sections from the middle. The man was pinched by Lan Xuan, his face flushed and he pressed on the ground.

He held Lan Xuan's hand with both hands, struggling like a fish on a chopping board, the veins on his neck were exposed.

Everything is only in the blink of an eye.

There was a scream from the crowd.

The crowd dispersed.

"Second Young Master!" The man's servant stood aside and shouted, not daring to go forward.

Xie Songzhou in front realized that Lan Xuan hadn't followed when he heard the movement behind him, so he went back to find someone.

"Let's go, let's go." Xie Songzhou squeezed into the crowd.

Don't let that little silly dragon get bullied.

People around were noisy and crowded together, still watching the play, Xie Songzhou squeezed in after a lot of effort, and then, he saw an unexpected side.

The seemingly harmless and pure little silly dragon, with a clouded aura and a chilly air-conditioning, rubbed another man in Tsing Yi on the ground like a big devil.

Beautiful, yet dangerous.

At this moment, Xie Songzhou saw in him, in the original trajectory, the cruel shadow of the dragon.

"That's the Second Young Master Ma, right?"

"Hey, that's not true, the teaser must have encountered a hard problem."

"A crime!"

"Tsk tsk, that young master is miserable, this Ma family is here... oh."

Xie Songzhou glanced sideways at the two aunts who were discussing, and when he looked over again, Lan Xuan was about to strangle that person to death.

He hurried forward, grabbed Lan Xuan's arm, and whispered, "Lan Xuan."

Lan Xuan turned her head, the golden color looming in the depths of her pupils made Xie Songzhou familiar yet unfamiliar.

Xie Songzhou held his wrist, "Let go."

Lan Xuan pursed the corners of his lips, the gold in his eyes gradually faded, and the hand on the man's neck was slowly released, and the man had already started to roll his eyes.

"Second Young Master!" The servant shouted, and several thugs beside him came forward.

Xie Songzhou blocked their sticks with his sword, and pulled Lan Xuan quickly out of the encirclement here. The two held hands, weaved through the crowd, ran half the street, and disappeared into the alley at the end of the street.

"Why are you fighting with someone?" Xie Songzhou glanced behind him, but no one was chasing him, he felt his hands were sticky, looked down, and saw blood in Lan Xuan's hands, "Where did you get hurt?"

"It's not my blood." Lan Xuan said.

Xie Songzhou looked around, found a staircase, and washed his hands in the pool for him, "Why did you hit someone?"

"He stepped on me." Lan Xuan said.

Xie Songzhou: "After stepping on you, you beat people like that?"

Lan Xuan frowned, and said with an accent, "He stained my shoes."

"Still scolding me." There was a bit of grievance in these words.

Xie Songzhou lifted the hem of his clothes and took a look. The new shoes were off-white, and the shoe prints on the uppers were very clear. He cleaned them with a dust-cleaning spell.

"That's fine."

Lan Xuan stared at the upper for a moment, as if to see if there were any traces left, and after a long while, he said "hmm".

"Next time you act, don't be so extreme." Xie Songzhou said, "You hate a person, if you want to beat him, you have to drag him behind your back to a place where no one is around, and don't leave any excuses for people to catch, you know ?"

Lan Xuan listened carefully, moved her eyes, and nodded.

"Good boy." Xie Songzhou patted his head.

【What are you doing? 】The system can't bear to make a sound.

Xie Songzhou: [What's wrong? 】

System: 【How... how can you...】

[Has the blackening value increased? 】Xie Songzhou asked.

System: [...No. 】

Xie Songzhou: [That's fine. 】

system:【……】

It seems to make sense, but I always feel that something is wrong.

Xie Songzhou didn't go to the teleportation array that Cheng Cheyuan said, the teleportation array needs spirit stones for trading, and the spirit stones Xie Songzhou got earlier are almost enough to be used, and he can't even afford a storage ring.

He Yujian took Lanxuan to the realm of comprehension, and arrived at the foot of the mountain near the Jianglong family.

At the foot of the mountains of various sects, there are often shops with various missions. Some medicinal material shops recycle rare spiritual herbs at high prices. Xie Songzhou picked a lot of spiritual herbs from there before. When he found a place, he went to the shop to do the transaction. Take a small bag.

Seeing that he didn't even have anything to store spirit stones, and seeing that he had taken so many rare spirit herbs, the shopkeeper felt that others should not be judged by appearances, so he specially gave it to him as a friendly gift.

"Come often in the future." The shopkeeper sent him away with a smile on his face.

Among the monks, there is no lack of people like him who look poor on the outside. When the store sees him in tatters, it only thinks that he has just returned from some dangerous place.

"Let's go." Xie Songzhou called Lan Xuan who was waiting at the door, threw away the spirit stone in his hand, put it in the lapel, and kept it close to him.

This city is full of monks, people come and go, they hold swords in their hands, and there are many swordsmen. Xie Songzhou and Lan Xuan walk in it, and they often attract the attention of others.

Without him, there are not a few monks with good looks, but Lan Xuan's temperament is too unique, Xie Songzhou's clothes are shabby, but his facial features are good-looking, the contrast is very contrasting.

The two walked on the street, looking around, the difference was that Lan Xuan was curious, and Xie Songzhou was looking for information.

"Are you hungry?" Xie Songzhou said, "I've gained a lot today, I'll take you to a good meal."

The two of them have slept in the open air these past few days, and also lived in a black shop. Lan Xuan has always been picky, and they followed Xie Songzhou out these few days, but they didn't say anything.

They entered a restaurant, it was time for dinner, Xie Songzhou passed by a table where the conversation was in full swing, and sat down behind them.

Xiao Er came to order food for them.

Although monks have bigu pills, many people still have this appetite.

Xiao Er threw the handkerchief over his shoulder, "Guest officer, don't look at it as expensive, even the grass in our store is full of aura."

"What do you want to eat?" Xie Songzhou asked Lanxuan.

Lan Xuan: "Meat."

Xie Songzhou ordered a few meat dishes, and when the dishes came, the table was full. Lan Xuan ate the meat with chopsticks, eating very quickly, but not rude.

The next table was talking gossip about the world of cultivating immortals.

"The eldest disciple of Qingyun Peak has formed a Taoist companion with the disciple of Hehuan Sect. Have you heard?"

"The news has spread all over the place, and I have seen it with my own eyes! The two of them are so loving... Tsk tsk, they even have to feed something into their mouths. They are really envious of others."

Xie Songzhou was drinking tea, distractedly listening to various gossip, there was an extra piece of meat in the bowl, he raised his eyes, Lan Xuan put his chopsticks back, and buried himself in eating hard.

"Thank you." Xie Songzhou smiled and ate the piece of meat.

Listening, listening, he finally heard what he wanted to hear.

"The Dragon Slaying Sect is really full of talents. Big disciple Cheng Wenlian, have you heard of it? The last time the secret realm was opened, I gained a lot! I also killed a fifth-order monster."

The rumored family of subduing dragons is called the Slaying Dragon Sect in this world of cultivating immortals.

"really?"

"That's right, this time the Zongmen Grand Competition, I think there are many people who beat him to win."

"That's not necessarily the case, Qingyun Peak disciples are not bad either."

……

When the two of them left the restaurant, most of the spirit stones that Xie Songzhou had just obtained were missing.

However, I got some useful information. The Dragon Sect is going to hold the Zongmen Grand Competition. There is no limit to the Zongmen Grand Competition. Casual cultivators can also sign up. He can sign up to participate, so he can get in naturally.

Before that, Xie Songzhou wanted to buy some books and blueprints related to talismans, and then look at some deeds related to the Cheng family.

At the end of the street, many bookstores require spirit stones to enter, and on the opposite corner of the bookstore, there are many small stalls, a long rough wooden board, with books placed in a mess, if you are lucky, you can also Picked up a book or two.

Xie Songzhou stopped in front of the booth.

"Just take a look." The stall owner greeted, "I have all kinds of books here, fellow daoists, what kind of books do you want?"

"Are there any talismans?" Xie Songzhou asked.

"Yes, yes, look here, they are all."

Xie Songzhou took a few books and read them in his hands, and on the other side, Lan Xuan followed suit with a book in his hands to read.

He flipped through one.

do not know.

Lan Xuan casually threw it aside, and picked up another book.

Don't know, throw it again, take it again, don't know it, throw it again...

After going through this cycle several times, he got a book, and after flipping through the first page, he frowned and looked thoughtful, and then flipped through the second page, and there were a few words next to it that stood out——[Shuangxiu Technique [-] , this bit can be used for...]

Lanxuan didn't read the words, but only looked at the pictures, and when she saw that the whole page was full of words, she turned it over.

Over there, Xie Songzhou has already picked out two books.

"Just these two books, how many spirit stones?" Xie Songzhou asked.

The stall owner glanced at Lanxuan: "Don't you pay for this fellow Taoist?"

Xie Songzhou tilted his head, Lanxuan held an ancient book that looked a little old in both hands, turned his head, and raised the book: "I want this."

A face like that of a noble young man, with an innocent look on his face, his beautiful eyes are like spring water rippling, revealing his longing and pleading for this book.

The book in his hand had no words on the blue cover, and it was lifted under Lan Xuan's chin. He blinked and looked straight at Xie Songzhou.

That kind of look is completely irresistible.

Xie Songzhou: "..."

Lan Xuan: "I want to buy it."

Bewitched by beauty, Xie Songzhou: "...Okay, buy it."

He even forgot to ask what book it was.
