Chapter 1187: Suxi

Suxi

"No problem!" The girl blinked her eyes. "Are you alone? Do you want to sit inside the shop or outside?"

"Alone, outside."

"Okay~"

The girl held the menu in one hand, and with the other hand helped Ying Fu pull out a stool along the street, then trotted all the way charging into the shop, shouting loudly,

"Dad! A guest is here!!"

Ying Fu slowly sat down at the open-air table and chairs by the street.

Because it was already late at night, pedestrians and vehicles simply couldn't be seen on the road. The faint light of the stars occasionally shone through the hazy clouds, illuminating Ying Fu's back, like a layer of white frost.

Ying Fu sat here in silence for a long time. His gaze from beginning to end was fixed on the busy figures inside the shop, like a sculpture, completely motionless...

The crayfish were gently placed in front of Ying Fu. The assailing aroma drilled into Ying Fu's nasal cavity... but Ying Fu didn't look at these crayfish, rather keeping his gaze fixed on the girl's features from start to finish.

"What's your name?" Ying Fu suddenly spoke.

The girl seemingly hadn't expected Ying Fu to suddenly ask this kind of question. She sized him up a few times with a strange expression, as if suspecting whether he was some kind of bad person with ill intentions... But for some unknown reason, seeing Ying Fu's flickering eyes, her mind trembled slightly, and she still hesitantly answered:

"You... just calling me Jiangjiang will do."

After speaking, she didn't wait for Ying Fu to ask anything else. She turned around and took out two bottles of beer from the refrigerator, skillfully using a bottle opener to open them. "What about you? What's your name ah?"

Ying Fu was silent for a long time.

"My name is Li Fu."

"Oh~"

Jiangjiang handed the poured wine glass in her hand to Ying Fu. After the latter took it, he raised his head and took a sip. In the next second, he was choked by the bubbles inside and started coughing violently.

It was still Ying Fu's first time drinking beer of this era. For a moment he was somewhat caught off guard. Seeing this scene, Jiangjiang became even more surprised.

"You don't know how to drink alcohol ah? I thought current university students could all drink very well..."

Ying Fu: ...

Ying Fu didn't speak, only silently taking another sip. This time, after having mental preparation, he wasn't choked again. On the contrary, the mouthfeel of the bubbles gave him a kind of unexpectedly novel feeling.

Following closely, Ying Fu tried eating a bite of crayfish again. Although the strong spice flavor made him somewhat uncomfortable, eating it occasionally, the taste was actually not bad.

At this time, he was still in his attire for attending the banquet, plain outer clothes, reserved black-framed glasses. He sat quietly at the street stall, drinking beer while eating crayfish... No one knew who he was, and no one cared where he came from. Even his ministers would absolutely not have thought that their own His Majesty would actually be eating and drinking at the door of such a small shop without any image.

Jiangjiang looked at this youth before her, who was slowly peeling crayfish with chopsticks, his movements as stiff as if he had just tamed his limbs. She felt it was somewhat funny, and also very interesting.

"Why did you come eat crayfish alone by yourself in the middle of the night ah... Do you not have friends to accompany you?"

Ying Fu indifferently grunted in acknowledgement.

"Are you taking the postgraduate entrance exam? I have an older female cousin who is also taking the postgraduate entrance exam, every day her pressure seems to be very great, just like you right now."

"...Right."

Jiangjiang stared at Ying Fu for a while, curled her lips, and silently walked toward the shop.

"Where are you going?" Ying Fu asked.

"I'm going to find a place to sit for a bit..."

"You can sit here."

"...I thought you didn't want others to disturb you," Jiangjiang was somewhat hesitant. "When I talk to you, you reply so coldly..."

Ying Fu's speech had always been concise and comprehensive, leaving others to guess. He opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain. After a long silence, he still spoke:

"Sit down. I don't really know how to talk, but I can listen to you speak."

"En... That works too."

Jiangjiang carried a small wooden bench and sat down at the table next to Ying Fu. Supporting her head with both hands, elbows resting on her knees, she carefully sized up the university student-dressed Ying Fu.

"Is going to university fun? My dad always wants me to study hard and get into a school outside Wushan in the future... but those math problems and English, I simply can't learn and understand them..." Jiangjiang blinked her eyes.

"You're a university student, tell me about it. What is there inside a university?"

Ying Fu was currently pondering how to answer. Right at this moment, the streetlights by the street suddenly flickered. The originally quite bright small table by the street flickered and fell into darkness!

Jiangjiang was taken aback. Looking at the streetlight on the street opposite, she couldn't help but complain:

"How come it's broken again... Last time we already called the municipal administration to come repair it once. They said it was a poor connection. It hasn't been repaired for long ah... Wait for me a moment, I'll go pat it. My dad said, if things are broken, patting them might make them better."

Jiangjiang got up from the wooden bench and was about to cross the road. In the next moment, a palm pulled her back from behind.

Jiangjiang turned her head in confusion, only to see Ying Fu sitting by the small table, currently staring fixedly at the opposite side of the road,

"...Don't go."

Dim light flickered by the roadside. In the reflection of Ying Fu's pupils behind the lenses, a ghost-like figure dressed in white with a half-smiling face was currently silently floating under the streetlight opposite...

His eyes were closed, the eye slits curved like crescent moons. Between his eyebrows, a touch of bright vermilion red was incredibly bizarre.

If Shen Nan were here at this time, he would be able to recognize the figure before his eyes with a single glance!

One of the special envoys of the Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path, [Suxi].

That half-smiling white-clothed person stood quietly under the light, directly facing the direction of the crayfish shop. Although his eyes were closed and his gaze couldn't be seen clearly, somewhere in the unseen world Ying Fu could feel that he was exactly gazing at him.

Ying Fu slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand, got up from the table, and coldly gazed at Suxi under the streetlight. A surge of faint golden Emperor Oppressive Aura rushed out from the depths of his pupils!

He was the [Emperor] of the mortal world. Before him, even the special envoys of the Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path should retreat a respectful distance.

Feeling the Emperor Oppressive Aura surging from all directions, the white-clothed ghost shadow under the streetlight gradually faded and disappeared... He still gazed at Ying Fu not far away, his lips muttering to himself,

"To think there is actually a second variable that does not belong to this era... Truly rare."

As the white-clothed ghost shadow completely disappeared, the flickering streetlight restored its brightness, as if everything just now was truly just a temporary poor connection.

"Yi, how come it's better before I even patted it?" Jiangjiang was taken aback.

Ying Fu released the hand grabbing Jiangjiang, but his expression was still gloomy. He stared intently at the position where Suxi was standing just now. His brows furrowed tightly, not knowing what he was pondering...

"You just said, your dad wants you to test out?" Ying Fu suddenly asked.

"...Ah? Yeah... why is your reaction half a beat slow?"

"Don't wait."

Ying Fu turned his head back, his tone suddenly unprecedentedly solemn,

"You guys immediately leave Wushan right now... the sooner the better."
