A devil's self-redemption

After Luo Lai returned home, he saw someone in the yard, Roger, his father.

"We haven't seen each other since your spiritual enlightenment. To be honest, you are still a little uncomfortable with the way you have lost weight!" Rogge turned around and looked at Luo Lai, who had successfully lost weight and said with emotion.

In fact, Luo Lai has never known how to face this father. It would be a lie to say that he has no feelings, but how deep the feelings are is open to question. You cannot expect an adult to spend six years convincing himself that a stranger is his father. That is unrealistic. So Luo Lai's approach is to let nature take its course.

"I'll eat it back in a moment." Luo Lai said nonchalantly.

"Hahaha, you're quite funny." Rogge laughed dryly. Seeing that his son didn't laugh with him, he touched his nose awkwardly.

"I heard that you gave Luo the training resources given to you by your family?"

"Well, I'm still young anyway, so I don't need it."

"Why can't you use it? If you don't seize the time to practice, you will join the army and fight against the human race when you are older. If you are not strong, how can you save your life?" Rogge criticized sternly.

Luo Lai shrugged and replied calmly: "So what if you are strong? How many years can you last at most? Two years, or three years? You will die anyway."

After hearing what he said, Rogge lowered his head and started pacing back and forth, as if thinking about something. If Luo Lai wanted to go, should he bother him or not? He would wait quietly aside.

After a long time, Rogge seemed to have figured something out, and said with firm eyes and nervousness: "You are still young and your strength is low. It is not convenient for you to know too much about some things, but there are some less important things that I can talk to you about. Reveal something.”

Rogge took a deep breath and continued: "Do you know why the war between the demons and humans started?"

Luo Lai shook his head, "I don't know."

"Haha, of course you don't know. Not only do you not know, but even those who say they know the truth may not know it. The reason Wang Ting announced to the outside world is to compete for some rare and precious cultivation resources, but only by entering the real Only on the battlefield will we realize that this is not the case at all. Our enemy is not the human race. Not only is it not an enemy, but it is an ally. And our enemy is the Abyssal Demon Clan, which we collectively call the Earth Rats. They are the real ones. Compared with the demons, demons like us are undoubtedly much kinder." Rogge laughed at himself.

"Kindness?" Luo Lai's face was full of doubts. Does demon have anything to do with this word?

"Yes, you'll understand when you see those rats."

"Then why do half-demon have to join the army?"

"This involves some secrets. It's not convenient to tell you at the moment." Rogge followed Luo Lai's example and shrugged his shoulders.

"Where is my mother?"

Rogge fell into silence with a somewhat depressed expression. He spoke after a moment: "I don't know either. Her leaving without saying goodbye caused great trauma to my heart. I will never forgive her!"

"Hiss! This sounds like what a resentful woman said." Luo Lai shuddered, and goosebumps appeared all over his body.

"Hmph, when I saved her life and she promised me my life, I thought I would live a good life forever. But after she gave birth to you, her whole person changed and she became taciturn. Except for taking care of you, she was alone. She is alone and refuses to have close contact with me. Now I find that she just treats me as a tool. She just wants a child and doesn't care that the father of the child is a cat or a dog, and I am the lucky kitten or puppy. I understand. ?"

For Luo Lai, Roger now behaves like an abandoned talkative woman, complaining about the unfairness of the world to him. This is another side he has never seen.

"Then do you remember what my mother looks like, or what she said?" He wanted to verify some of his conjectures.

"This is what I can't accept. I clearly know that she is beautiful, but I really can't remember her specific face. I also know that I love her very much, but I forget every word she said. This is unreasonable. I I asked everyone in the house and they all forgot what your mother looked like. Do you understand... Wait, why do you ask that? Do you remember, or did you remember what your mother looked like before?" After saying this, Rogge's expression became excited. stand up.

"I remember my mother's appearance, but I have forgotten everything she said." Luo Lai said in a deep voice.

"It's good to remember, it's good to remember. As long as you can remember her appearance, you will naturally recognize her when you see her." Rogge had a happy expression on his face, and then he came back to his senses and straightened up. Staring at Luo Lai, he asked, "How old were you when you started remembering things?"

"I remember it when I was born."

"Hiss! Your mother is indeed extraordinary, and the offspring she gave birth to are so extraordinary."

Hearing what he said, Luo Lai began to wonder whether the reason why he traveled through time was an accident or was it carefully planned by some people? If it's the latter, it's very scary to think about it.

"Okay, I've also started to practice. Remember to collect your resources later. This is yours. You can use your own resources in the future. Your brother's share is enough for him." After saying that, Rogge threw him a small A bag containing some magic crystals and elixirs.

Luo Lai took it in his hand and looked at Rogge's leaving back, feeling a little sad. He didn't expect to have an in-depth conversation with him today. This was the first time in his life. At the same time, he also discovered some of Rogge's true character. He couldn't help but sigh, what a real person. Show your face!

Early the next morning, Luo Lai left Luo Mansion through the back door and met Song Chao. After getting the money from the auction in his hands, he walked to the Yibao Pavilion. He now had a huge sum of money, so of course he had to spend it. After a while, the first thing he did was to buy a large amount of spiritual grass. He still remembered Dafu's advice to make the foundation extremely solid, which would be good for future practice.

When they found Gu Youde, they saw that his face was still rosy and the smile had not disappeared from his face. "Gu Gu, are you going to call Elder Gu in a few days?" Luo Lai teased.

"Young Master Luo was joking. Even if you want to be promoted, it won't be a matter of time. Why did you come to me today?" Gu Youde smiled modestly and asked Luo Lai the reason for his visit.

Luo Lai said generously: "Today I am here to buy some medicinal herbs. Of course, elixirs are also available. The more the merrier."

Hearing Luo Lai's request, Gu Youde's eyes lit up. Could it be that this month's performance was accomplished so easily? "Master Luo, at least give me a rough number or price so I can prepare it for you."

Luo Lai did not hesitate: "For elixirs below the third grade and spiritual herbs below five hundred years old, I will buy two million magic crystals first. If they are not enough, I will come to you to buy them later."

Gu Youde was startled: "Master Gu, what do you need so many elixirs for? Even if you come here to practice, you won't be able to use that much!"

"Don't worry about its use. Just prepare it for me. You won't miss a piece of the magic crystal."

Seeing that Luo Lai didn't want to say more, Gu Youde didn't want to ask any more questions and hurriedly walked towards the Yibao Pavilion warehouse.

Luo Lai found a seat and sat down, waiting quietly for Gu Youde. Just when he was bored, he saw Elder Wei in a gray robe angrily walking out, apparently about to go out.

Luo Lai had a very bad impression of him, so he had no intention of chatting with him. Unexpectedly, Elder Wei saw him in the corner and walked over directly.

"I know who you are. You are the half-demon from the Luo family. Your name seems to be Luo Lai, right?" Elder Wei was smiling, but Luo Lai saw that his face was full of hypocrisy.

"It's me, is something wrong?"

Elder Wei didn't expect him to be so rude. The sullen look on his face flashed away, and then he continued to ask with a smile: "I heard that you are the elder brother of Luo Jin, the favorite of Anxiong and Xiong?"

Luo Lai saw the change in his expression, but said curiously: "Two prides of An and Xiong? What are those?"

"Haha! Mr. Luo doesn't know this? My sister-in-law and the little princess Milea of ​​the Fit family succeeded in awakening their spirits without using any spiritual stones. They also caused incredible celestial phenomena. They both entered Canglan Academy to study, and were killed by Anxiong City. Those who do good things are called Anxiong Shuangjiao, this is the first time since Anxiong City was founded!" Elder Wei patiently explained to Luo Lai.

"..." Luo Lai was in a daze for a while after hearing this. He didn't expect that on a whim, he actually made An and Xiong proud. Hehe, he was a little excited when he thought about it.

"As Miss Luo Jin's brother, you must have a very good relationship with her. Can you tell me about Miss Luo Jin's story?" Elder Wei's hypocritical smile really disgusted Luo Lai. He is not a happy and angry person. He was a faceless person, and his face naturally showed some emotions. Elder Wei could see it clearly, but he still talked to him in a subtle way, which made Luo Lai even more unhappy.

"Haha, Luo Jin and I are not familiar with each other. You also know that I am a half-demon and am not valued in my family. How could I be familiar with such a proud man? We are just brothers and sisters." Luo Lai He opened his mouth to lie and dealt with Elder Wei. Unexpectedly, Elder Wei nodded seriously: "Master Luo is right."

"..." When I say I can't do it, that's because I'm being modest. If you actually say that I can't do it, you're looking down on me. Hey, wait, I'll make you look good sooner or later.

Luo Lai looked constipated, but fortunately Gu Youde came to the rescue in time, allowing Luo Lai to send Elder Wei away with an excuse.

"Young Master Luo is familiar with Elder Wei?" Gu Youde looked at Elder Wei's back and asked a little thoughtfully.

"Oh, how could I, a half-demon, know such a big shot as Elder Wei?"

Gu Youde heard Luo Lai's dissatisfaction with Elder Wei and said with a bright smile: "Haha, Elder Wei is just a little more arrogant, but he is still... well, not bad!"

Luo Lai looked at him in surprise, "Good guy, I almost believed you, your tone sounded like an old hermaphrodite."

"Maybe." Luo Lai was noncommittal.

Gu Yin Yang Ren Youde smiled and said: "Elder Wei may have to be transferred out of Anxiong City recently, and the chair is a little impatient. Please don't mind, Mr. Gu."

"Hahaha, will you please take care of Elder Gu from now on?" Luo Lai stared at Gu Youde with burning eyes.

"Young Master Luo, you're welcome!"

Then the two looked at each other and laughed.

After leaving the Yibao Pavilion, Luo Lai did not go home immediately. Instead, he came to Feite's house and looked for Arnold. Since he called him brother-in-law, Luo Lai couldn't be stingy with his brother-in-law and gave him a hundred thousand spiritual stones. After receiving the elixir, Anol returned home amidst calls from his brother-in-law.

He managed to isolate the black stone from himself by using all his spiritual power. The black stone stopped operating the moment it lost contact with him. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary and slightly ugly stone.

After that, he began to devour elixirs. The reason why he only bought elixirs below the third grade was mainly because he was afraid that the elixirs above the third grade would be too strong and would burst as soon as he swallowed them. Even the elixirs of spiritual herbs and elixirs were not older than five hundred years. Same thing.

The first pill Luo Lai swallowed was a first-grade spirit-boosting pill. After all the medicinal power was fully digested, his body felt warm. He felt that if his own spiritual power was exhausted, ten first-grade spirit-boosting pills could replenish it.

He tried the second-grade Spirit-Building Pill again. When the second-grade Spirit-Building Pill was taken into his mouth today, it instantly turned into a large amount of spiritual energy, impacting his muscles and veins. He did not expect that just the second-grade Spirit Pill could be so overbearing, and he quickly ran the Yuanshi Boundless Technique. , while digesting spiritual energy, improve one's own cultivation.

When a second-grade Spirit-Building Pill is completely digested, his body is already full of spiritual energy, and some excess is turned into fat and stored in his body. In this way, a second-grade Spirit-Building Pill can not only completely replenish the dry spiritual energy, but also There was something left over, which meant that he started to gain weight again.

For seven consecutive days, Luo Lai spent time in a cycle of taking medicine, refining, and gaining weight. When Rogge found Luo Lai again, he was stunned by his appearance.

"Why have you gained weight again?" This was the first thing Rogge said. He originally said that the last time Luo Lai could gain weight was just talk. Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for seven days, Luo Lai not only gained weight, but also gained weight. Worse than that.

"It's okay, I'm just playing around with my weight. It'll be fine in two days."

Rogge saw his indifferent attitude and was speechless for a moment. Listen, is this what a human said?

"What do you want from me?" He asked softly, ignoring Rogge's confusion.

"Don't go out if you can. The city is quite chaotic. If there is an emergency, the Luo family won't be able to come forward." Rogge said seriously.

Since Luo Lai had no plans to go out, Rogge aroused his curiosity and asked, "What happened to Anxiong City?"

Rogge hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Have you ever heard of An Xiong Shuangjiao?"

"Xiaojin and Mireya, does this matter have anything to do with them?" Luo Lai became even more curious!

"Well, two peerless geniuses appeared one after another in Anxiong City. Many big shots were alarmed. They traveled thousands of miles to come here to find out what happened. It was inevitable that there would be bumps and frictions. Last night, someone found someone fighting outside the city. The scene was shocking. There should be something. The super master has taken action, and now the ancestor of the Luo family is not in the city, the Luo family does not dare to get involved in such a conflict." Rogge looked sad, thinking that before, the Luo family could still walk sideways in Anxiong City, occasionally doing innocuous things Even evil deeds can be suppressed with force. Now that the Luo family's Dinghai Shenzhen is no longer around, their confidence seems to have dropped a lot.

"Who is fighting?" Luo Lai's eyes were bright. He had never seen a duel between masters.

"I heard that one is from Wang Ting and the other is a master from Anxiong City, but his aura is a bit strange, and he doesn't look like he is from the three major families." Rogge also didn't know who the two sides were who fought last night.

Seeing that there was no more news, Luo Lai said, "I understand, I won't go out today."
