May you be happy and prosperous

That night, Lu Twelve had a rather strange nightmare.

He dreamed that he was wearing a heavy armor of gold and gemstones, holding a white scepter high in his hand, riding a fire-breathing western dragon, and entering a forest of thorns.

The bird standing on the tree asked him, "Warrior, warrior, where are you going?"

Lu Twelve righteously told the little bird: "I'm going to save my blonde princess."

After finishing speaking, Lu Twelve rushed into the forest—it's a pity that the thorn forest is a million times more dangerous than he imagined. The furry vines are about the thickness of a finger, like conscious devil plants, and they shoot black from all directions. Stretch and curl in the direction of the young man... They wrapped around Lu Twelve's neck; around Lu Twelve's ankle; Lu Twelve's waist.

After touching Lu Twelve, the vines suddenly became more and more lush and thicker, as if drinking a magic potion of rapid growth, they grew rapidly, growing Tighten, tighten up, tighten up...

In the dream, the suffocating feeling seemed very real——Lu Twelve felt that his breathing seemed to be getting more and more difficult. In the end, when the black-haired young man fell from the dragon's back, he was completely entangled by vines. When he got up, he woke up from the dream.

……

Opening his eyes, Lu Twelve looked at a fluffy animal face that looked particularly breezy even in a deep sleep.

The whole brain was completely empty when he just woke up. Lu Twelve lowered his head expressionlessly, and found that the huge claws of an old phantom beast were firmly fixed on his waist, even if it was thin Even in thin pajamas, the dark-haired young man could feel the fluffy fluff rubbing against his skin.

But at this moment, it seemed to feel the commotion of the black-haired young man in its arms, the phantom beast whose whole body occupied almost two-thirds of the bed area closed its eyes, opened its mouth wide and yawned, its claws will be very fast. The human who was close to him fished into his arms again, and at the same time, it didn't forget to use its huge, furry body to lean against the head of the human in its arms, rubbing against it.

Then it opened its animal pupils and looked at Lu Twelve generously. The golden pupils were filled with the laziness of just waking up in the morning sunlight.

Lu Twelve: "..."

When Lu Twelve got a force from which he didn't know where it came from, without hesitation, he kicked the uninvited guest who weighed several hundred kilograms off the bed!

There was only a loud bang, and the huge phantom beast on the bed rolled over to the floor on one side of the bed with a quilt—it let out a low, annoyed growl, and clumsily lifted its four limbs from the entanglement of the quilt. The paws and the huge body were rescued, and it shook its head, and its ears flicked a few times quickly, then it got up and stood firm on the landing place, and then put its big head on the edge of the bed, and its golden pupils watched eagerly. brunette young man lying on bed.

The scene in front of me is so familiar.

One couldn't help but think of the "warm, touching and inspirational" scene a few months ago when the fluffy little kitty phantom suddenly turned into a human and appeared on Lu Twelve's bed.

Counting it, this is the second time that Lu Twelve has kicked a man off the bed—and very similar to the previous experience, the first thing a man does when he gets up from the ground is usually not to question, but... …Acting cute.

Lu Twelve: "What are you doing! You are so cute!"

Shakya: "..."

Lu Twelve grabbed the pillow and threw it on the cheeky furry face beside the bed: "You still have a cute face! You still have a cute face! How did you come in last night?!—Wait a minute, think clearly before answering, how dare you use it?" 'Such a stupid lock doesn't exist for me' sent me to try!"

Shajiaye calmly took the pillow thrown by Lu Twelve into his mouth, and before the black-haired young man had time to stop him, the whole bed made a terrible "squeak" sound, and in the next second, accompanied by A black shadow flickered in front of him, and when the black-haired young man sitting on the bed reacted, the phantom beast beside the bed had jumped up and sat down next to him.

The big paw patted the mattress between himself and the black-haired young man: talk about life.

Lu Twelve: "..."

The big cat's tail wrapped around Lu Twelve's calf furtively, rubbed against it, and after a flash of light, a blond man with nothing but a thin white blanket wrapped around his waist majestically replaced him. After leaving the place where the big cat was squatting before, the man sat in front of Lu Twelve, stretched out his hand and raised his chin so that he could look at him. After a while, he calmly said, "What's the matter with you?"

Lu Twelve: "?"

Lu Twelve looked at the strong man sitting in front of him, and his eyes swept over his strong wheat-colored arm holding his chin. Tail.

Lu Twelve: "...Your tail! Tail!"

Shakya was very calm: "What happened to the tail?"

As he spoke, he tightened the tail wrapped around the black-haired young man's calf.

So at this moment, Lu Twelve also calmed down in the extreme speechlessness. He stared at the tail wrapped around his calf expressionlessly, and imitated Sha Gaya's tone and said calmly: "You forgot to put your tail away, beast .”

"If I don't grab you, you're going to throw something at me again, or just turn around and run away." Shakya folded his arms, his face was taken for granted, and looked down at the black-haired young man in front of him, "'Beast' Is it a curse word from the people on earth?"

"Yes," Lu Twelve puffed out his chest confidently, "I found it suitable for you, so I used it."

It seemed that some displeasure could be heard from the black-haired young man's tone, but Sha Gaya was not in a hurry. Compared with the slightly embarrassed look when he was kicked off the bed before, he suddenly relaxed at this moment .

The man raised his lips and showed a lazy smile: "What's wrong with me?"

"Yesterday, the whole world knows about you hugging and making out with Chaoyun in public."

"Pay attention to your wording, there is no so-called 'intimacy', and she hugged her herself."

"You still entered my room and crawled on my bed in the middle of the night without permission!"

"I haven't done anything to you yet, and you're using the word 'bed crawling', which makes me regret being lenient last night...and I've only slept in my room for two nights, and this is mine." Shakya released Lu Twelve's chin, lay down beside him and yawned, "If it's these two things, you don't have to worry about it—everything has been reshuffled, and I decided 500 years ago It is impossible for a woman who broke up to sleep and wake up to find herself full of sexual interest. It is impossible for me and Chaoyun to reconnect, and I don’t want to sleep in a bed alone at night, that’s all.”

Lu Twelve: "..."

Shakya: "Give me some feedback."

Lu Twelve: "Oh."

Shakya showed a helpless expression.

When Lu Twelve finished washing and the two came out of the room side by side, it happened that Sabak and JAY also came out of their respective rooms - JAY glanced at Lu Twelve, first showing a hesitant expression, but then Before he could say anything, he raised his head and saw the blond man following behind him—then his expression of "hesitating to speak" changed into an "ambiguous smile".

The words "I knew it would happen" were written all over his face.

Everyone went back to the dining room on the first floor and turned on the TV. Lu Twelve was in charge of making breakfast—because he had discovered the secret of goat milk powder, he was not stingy at all to supplement nutrition for everyone. All living creatures in the family got a cup of incense For thick goat milk, Shakya looked down at the portion in front of him, grabbed it and brought it to his lips, not rushing to drink it, but sniffing it habitually.

Lu Twelve said blankly, "Don't drink the rat poison."

"It's a little thicker than usual." Shajiaye took a sip of goat milk, thought for a while and looked up at Lu Twelve, put two sugar in the goat milk, and asked again, "Ask a question, you are going to be angry when?"

Lu Twelve: "In the next life."

Shakya: "..."

Sabak and JAY seemed to find it very interesting to watch the interaction between Sha Jiaye and Lu Twelve - Sabak seemed to have never seen such a helpless expression from his majesty.

At this time, Shakya was sitting at the main seat of the entire table, tilting his head and looking at the black-haired young man beside him, the corners of his lips twitched, as if he was about to say something, but at this moment, from the TV behind them In the machine, the prelude to the morning news sounded.

"I don't know if there will be follow-up news about Chaoyun's attack on the shopping mall yesterday." JAY put down the fork in his hand and said thoughtfully, "The Wu family will definitely not be too satisfied with Chaoyun now—this phantom phantom The awakening of the beast is an accident, I heard that a long time ago, she was raised by a certain head of the Wu family as an ornamental phantom beast."

Shajiaye frowned slightly, as if he didn't have much interest in the word "breeding" - but considering that Lu Twelve was sitting aside at the moment, it was not easy for him to raise too many opinions, so he obediently shut up.

"I heard that families with awakened phantom beasts also have their own internal rankings based on the combat effectiveness of phantom beasts." Lu Twelve said, "If Chaoyun's combat effectiveness is not very good, then how can the Wu family have a good relationship with the family with disciples? ?”

"Because their family not only owns Chaoyun," Sabak took over the topic this time, and he frowned when both Lu Shier and Sha Gaya looked at him questioningly. "I also heard from the doctor of abnormal research in the research institute that I found out. I heard that the Wu family still has a phantom beast that ranks in the top ten of the four-dimensional sum, but no one knows what that phantom beast looks like. Combat type, I just know that the name of the phantom beast is probably 'Yu', and according to the name, it may be a flying type phantom beast."

After Shabak finished speaking, he raised his eyelids and glanced at Sha Gaya as if hesitant to speak. The latter had a sullen face, slightly bent his fingers and gently tapped the table to make a rhythmic sound-he seemed to be thinking about something.

Lu Twelve asked curiously: "There are awakened phantom beasts, so Master Shabak doesn't even know them?"

Sabak shook his head.

"If I guessed that person, getting together with Ye Luosha would probably become a very bad thing." Shakya said lightly, "But it should not be him. I heard that the war broke out between the earth and the earth not long ago. He die."

Lu Twelve: "Who?"

Shakya hesitated for a moment, and then said succinctly: "There used to be five generals in Watren, and one of them was deprived of his authority because of corruption and betrayal."

Lu Twelve thought for a while: "...a long time ago?"

"When I was in power," Shakya said indifferently, "Watlun lost four subsidiary galaxies because of this, one of which was even the main subsidiary star, which was originally intended to be used as a backup planet for immigrants. I don't know where he went."

Lu Twelve: "...that's it."

If that mysterious phantom beast is the one who was robbed of the glory, wealth, and status by Shakya, then in this battle for the few awakened phantom beasts in existence, I am afraid that he will unswervingly stand on Byron's side.

A little troublesome.

After a moment of silence, behind everyone in the restaurant, the news broadcast mentioned yesterday's shopping mall attack, because people at the scene knew the situation better and didn't want to relive the interaction between Chaoyun and Sarjaya, so Lu Twelve simply didn't look back.

Hearing the voice of the spokesperson in the news, Lu Twelve guessed that the person who came out to speak this time was probably the middle-aged man in his 50s who appeared at the Phantom Beast staff experience exchange meeting last time. He clarified that Chaoyun's behavior yesterday was absolutely The non-Wu family refers to the will of the people; then he expressed his deep apology for yesterday's shopping mall attack; finally, he promised that the Wu family will unconditionally bear all the medical expenses of the injured people in the incident.

Just when Lu Twelve thought that this matter would be over like this, in the news, the Patriarch of the Wu family who was speaking announced some other shocking things.

The first thing is that the Wu family announced that Chaoyun had disappeared after betraying Zhiren's will and attacking ordinary human living areas in private.Here, the Wu Family issued a golden task assignment to all Eudemons referees, inviting those who are capable to find and capture Chaoyun, regardless of life or death.

The second thing is that the Wu family officially admitted that the folk rumors that the Wu family controls another awakened phantom beast is true. According to the test value ten years ago, it ranks third in the current Eudemons rankings, second only to disciples and Longhua.

The third thing is that Wu Yun, the current head of the Wu family, will announce his abdication on the day of the eldest son Wu Yu's 35th birthday next month. Wu Yu will take over all the Wu family's property and Eudemons-related affairs, including the task of hunting down Chaoyun. follow-up development.

The fourth thing, the Wu family said that when necessary, they will use the awakened phantom beast "Yu" to capture Chaoyun if they don't give up.

that's all.

This perfectly explains why the relationship between Chaoyun's Wu family and Charles family's disciples is so good - because from the perspective of Eudemons, they are basically people of the same class.

At this time, Lu Twelve also turned his head to look at the TV. In the news, the current head of the Wu family was surrounded by a group of reporters and flashing lights, and was protected by a group of bodyguards to leave the scene.

When the news began to enter the next screen to talk about irrelevant topics, Lu Twelve grabbed the tablet light computer at hand and looked at it. As expected, the Internet has exploded. The tall building is discussing this matter——

The discussion of the event was basically divided into three directions. Most people were puzzled by Chaoyun's behavior; The next small part belongs to the extremists, who jump into every negative news post related to Phantom Beasts, repeatedly emphasizing the "dangerousness of Phantom Beasts" in a gloating tone.

All in all, there isn't a lot of nutritional information—nearly none, to be precise.

"Chaoyun won't really run to seek refuge with Byron, will he?" Lu Twelve turned off the tablet optical computer, and looked at Shajiaye and the others with some anxiety, "What should we do now?"

"Wait and see," Shakya said indifferently, "Chaoyun may actually betray me in order to force me to declare my awakening. Very troublesome."

"Actually, according to the strength, the strength of that 'feather' should be sixth." Sabak glanced at Sabak, and said with some concern, "The ranking list of awakened Eudemons did not include His Majesty Sarjaya, His Highness Byron, and others. I count it in."

"It seems that stupid humans have missed many people." JAY said with a half-smile.

Sabak gave him a warning look, and then JAY, who remembered the golden words of "Speak less, make less mistakes, and don't say good", shut his mouth obediently.

……

After Lu Twelve finished his breakfast, he went to the Phantom Beast Staff Center alone, to see if there were any special tasks worth picking up and inquired about the news—unexpectedly, everything in the Phantom Beast Staff Center Normally, people should eat and drink, and there are still so many people under the blue task posting column, and it is still a rhythm to grab a head when a suitable new task is released.

It took Lu Twelve some time to find out about the news that he thought was earth-shattering—probably because Chao Yun's behavior was so absurd. Yun Xiangluo will not care about Chaoyun's life and death. Therefore, the Wu family has given up the ownership of this awakened phantom beast by default in the industry.

As soon as the gold-level mission was released, it was led by several teams. Among them, three teams had awakened phantom beasts. They probably aimed at capturing Chaoyun alive. The remaining team was more special. They aimed at killing The one who went to grab the weapon from Chaoyun was the Wonderland military staff team.

Chaoyun and Wonderland, Lu Twelve felt that there is probably no combination in this world that can surpass this combination.

So Lu Twelve decided not to take this muddy water this time.

In addition to these, he also got another unexpected news from the Phantom Beast Staff Union - while he was going to star Gamma A to shine, most of the reconstruction work of the Phantom Beast Recycling Station in G City had been completed, and now The Phantom Beast Recycle Bin has barely been put into normal use, but because of the last accident, a large number of staff resigned, so there is a shortage of manpower now, and Phantom Beast staff are needed to be volunteers to help. The rewards offered range from money to Phantom Beast staff. The contribution value of the artificial union has everything.

Lu Twelve stood and watched for a while under the special task release column about the Eudemons Recycle Bin, just when everyone thought he would sign up to be a volunteer city, but unexpectedly, the black-haired young man just turned around and left quietly.

The next few days were calm, Bai Lun and the others did not take any action, and there was no new news about Chao Yun's whereabouts. Lu Twelve happily enjoyed this rare peace. He requisitioned the basement of JAY's house as a studio, and held him from time to time. The gamma R element solution jar brought back by Gamma A was fiddled with and researched. Every day, I didn’t know where to toss back a lot of broken copper and iron. Except for meal times, I hardly saw anyone, so I soaked in the basement day and night. .

At first, Sharjaya had to endure for a few days obediently because of Zhao Yun's affairs. After about a week, he finally couldn't help it—everyone in the family could clearly feel the low pressure in the house, but only as the protagonist Lu Twelve didn't realize it, he still went his own way, and didn't communicate much with Sharjaya.

On this day, JAY came back from buying dinner ingredients outside, and when he opened the door, he saw Shakya sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, drinking afternoon tea with a cup in one hand——on his lap was a thick book. JAY curiously went over to look at it, and then found out with black lines that this was actually the "Guide to Cultivating and Training Phantom Beasts" that he bought and put on the bookshelf.

It's not that he doesn't want to read it, but the main reason is that the content of this book is too nonsense, and it actually puts forward such absurd statement as "if the Eudemons has a bad temper, you must be more violent than it, so that you can use violence to control violence".

It seems that there is also a sex education chapter specifically for Eudemons.

Apart from perverts, who would teach Eudemons that kind of thing? !

"Brother Cai," JAY couldn't bear to ask, "what are you doing reading these books all day?"

The man sitting on the sofa raised his eyelids, glanced lazily at the landlord, and after a while, he turned a page of the book on his lap, sipped his black tea and replied calmly, "Nurture."

"..." JAY asked, "Who nurtures whom?"

Sha Gaya gave him a meaningful look, then lowered his head and continued to read.

JAY was taken aback by Sharjaya.

Rolling in desperation to put away the ingredients, Sharjay was still sitting on the spot reading a book. JAY seriously thought about whether to ask his teammates to pack up and run away. In the end, his own safety outweighed his sympathy for Lu Twelve. With the idea of ​​reporting the news, he walked around the living room and returned to Sha Gaya, asking, "Where is Lu Youqian?"

There was a click.

The white ceramic cup with delicate metal patterns was placed on the coffee table casually. The blond man paused, and then mocked in a tone that could not conceal his resentment: "In the basement, I heard that an army is about to be created."

JAY: "..."

While wandering around, JAY stumbled upon the cup set on the coffee table by Shakya. JAY stared for a moment, and then he was surprised to find: When did his family have such a set of luxury tea set?Even a basic set costs seventy gold coins!

The one used by Sharjaya costs at least 150 gold coins.

JAY looked at Sharjaya, then at the teacup, and guessed who bought it with his toes——Extremely moved, he pointed to the expensive cup: "Brother Cai, Lu Youqian knows Are you so rich?"

Shajiaye was taken aback when he heard the words, then smiled slightly and said, "I have no money."

JAY showed a completely disbelieving expression and said: "You checked the balance on the card that day. After so many years, you have really made a fortune just by collecting interest, right?"

Hearing the words, Shajiaye suppressed his laughter, and said in a half-warning voice: "If you want to know, ask Sabak, and you should know it yourself after asking, don't talk too much."

JAY nodded, not being polite to Shakya at all, and ran to knock on Shabak's room door.

Sabak opened the door expressionlessly.

JAY rushed into Uncle Shabak's room like a loach, and after about 10 minutes, he floated out with a face full of emptiness.

When passing by Sharjaya, he paused, took a few steps back, and returned to the man who was still reading a book calmly, hesitating to speak.

Shajiaye raised his head, closed the book, and looked at the landlord calmly: "What's the matter?"

JAY: "Your Majesty, you don't mind if I don't kneel down?"

Shakya narrowed her eyes slightly: "It's okay."

JAY: "One question."

Shakya: "Ask."

JAY: "Are all the floor tiles in Vatrun paved with gold?"

Shakya: "I don't have that bad taste."

JAY nodded numbly: "So it's a more expensive material than gold?"

Shakya thought for a while, and then nodded seriously. JAY, who has lived for more than 20 years and considered himself a rich man, suddenly realized that he was actually a middle-of-the-road farmer, and showed an expression of "I am dead". Floating, drifting away.

Shakya paused, lowered his head, opened the book again, and read two more lines. After a while, the man was surprised to find that he couldn't read it at all—the strange thing was that he, who had never been distracted when doing business before, It was found that almost his whole soul was floating to the basement at this moment.

Closing the book again with a "snap", Shakya decided not to embarrass himself, got up and walked to the basement.

When he came to the basement door, the man found that the door was locked—but it was a piece of cake for him, just like what Lu Twelve said before: such a stupid lock is just a piece of cake for him. as if it doesn't exist.

Putting his hand on the doorknob and unscrewing the lock, Shakya walked into the dark basement, and from a distance, he saw that he was wearing a white coat he did not know where he got it, and he was standing by the workbench holding two test tubes Hesitant to combine them.

After closing the door, crossing his arms, he leaned lazily on the back of the door and admired the black-haired young man in "exotic clothes" for a while. When the latter hesitantly put down the test tube of the pink solution in his hand, Shakya just Slowly said: "What is this for?"

"I want to take advantage of the special activity of Gamma R on Eudemons after metallization, and try the diluted solution as a metal polishing agent or maintenance agent." Lu Twelve said while grabbing another green test tube, Shaking it and wanting to fuse them together——

"Don't mix Gamma R with strange things," Shakya said as if he couldn't bear it anymore, "Don't kill you?"

Lu Twelve was taken aback.

Immediately, he seemed to think that what Shajiaye said was reasonable, he put down the green solution angrily, turned his head and asked as if he just saw Shajiaye: "What are you here for?"

Shakya didn't speak.

Lu Twelve raised his eyebrows.

"I thought about it, probably my actions have indeed brought you uneasy thoughts." The man leaning against the door said seriously.

Lu Twelve "So?"

Shakya: "I apologize."

When the man said "I apologize" solemnly, Lu Twelve had to admit that his little heart, which he said was going to be "angry until the next life", beat wildly. He slightly squeezed the test tube in his hand, and finally said a thousand words In one word: "Oh."

Shakya narrowed his golden pupils slightly, like a big cat that has been rewarded by its master.

"I've been reading related books these days, and I want to get a better understanding of the relationship between lovers. In the books, I got some very interesting hints." Speaking of this, Sha Gaya paused, and after a long while, Then he said surprisingly: "The book says that the owner assists the pet to have sex, which can help increase the relationship between the two parties and the sense of security for each other. Do you want to try it?"

As Shakya said, Lu Twelve shook his hand and spilled the whole tube of solution on the ground. With the sound of "puff" and "crack", a large metal pillar rose from the center of the broken metal wheel, and immediately became created a work of art based on a metal wheel.

Take a closer look, the shape is quite like that.
