Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

On the third morning after Zhu Ci arrived at the Dragon Palace, it was also the morning of the second day after meeting Xu Ming.

The morning sun shone between the girl's hair.

Zhu Ci slowly sat up from the bed.

The girl's originally muddled head gradually cleared up.

Zhu Ci recalled the words she and Xu Ming had said while strolling around the palace last night, and a blush appeared on Zhu Ci's cheeks.

Last night, after she finished saying the last sentence, she ran away in a hurry, leaving Xu Ming alone, as if she was afraid he would say anything more.

Zhu Ci admitted that what she said last night was indeed a little too unreserved.

Especially what she said, that she would never be friends with him.

She didn't want to be friends with him, but she wanted to get close to him, so what else could she do?

Then it could only be...

The more Zhu Ci thought about it, the redder her cheeks became. Zhu Ci didn't expect herself to be so bold last night, actually saying those words directly.

However,

in Zhu Ci's heart, she didn't regret it.

Xu Ming might think that he had changed, but in Zhu Ci's opinion, Xu Ming was still the same as before, without any change.

He was still the little boy she used to like, he hadn't changed.

If there was any change, it was that there were two more girls in Xu Ming's heart.

But it doesn't matter!

She wouldn't give up!

"I won't admit defeat!"

Zhu Ci clenched her small fist and cheered herself on seriously.

"Ci Ci... Ci Ci..."

Just as Zhu Ci was thinking about how to work hard and regain an important position in his heart, Ling Bisheng's voice rang out from outside the courtyard.

"Wait a moment, I just woke up."

Zhu Ci's voice came out of the courtyard.

The girl got out of bed, changed her clothes, and washed up a bit.

The whole process took Zhu Ci less than half an incense stick's time.

Mainly because Zhu Ci was naturally beautiful and didn't need too much makeup at all, she just needed to comb her hair.

Zhu Ci opened the door and found Yuwen Xi, Fang Yu and others all standing at the door.

Zhu Ci looked at them and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

These people suddenly came to the front of her courtyard, and Zhu Ci wondered if something had happened that needed her to solve.

"Nothing happened." Yuwen Xi smiled, "Isn't the Four Seas Ceremony about to begin tomorrow? After the Four Seas Ceremony begins, it is estimated that there will be no time, so we are thinking about whether to go shopping and have some fun."

Shopping and having fun was true, but more than that, they were worried about Zhu Ci's condition.

After all, Zhu Ci had experienced so many things yesterday. A man she had waited for so many years actually said such hurtful words. They were really afraid that Zhu Ci would be too depressed.

So what they thought was to take Zhu Ci out to relax.

Of course, in Ling Bisheng's heart, he was also thinking about whether he could take advantage of Ci Ci's loss to occupy a more important impression in Ci Ci's heart.

"Okay, let's go shopping then." Zhu Ci nodded with a smile.

"Eh, really?" Yuwen Xi was stunned.

The others were also very surprised.

They were already prepared for Zhu Ci's refusal, and they had thought of a lot of rhetoric to persuade her.

As a result, unexpectedly, Zhu Ci actually agreed so readily, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Zhu Ci smiled: "It was clearly you who invited me, but I agreed, and you still ask me if it's true. Do you really want to invite me out to play?"

Everyone: "."

That's what you say, but logically speaking, shouldn't you refuse us directly because you are in a bad mood?

But then again.

They found that there was not much sad emotion on Ci Ci's face.

It was as if she had figured everything out and let go of everything.

This made Ling Bisheng suddenly feel a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Could it be! Has Ci Ci already let go of that Xu Ming?

If that's the case, then wouldn't I have even more hope?!

"No, no, it's naturally a good thing that Ci Ci can agree, then let's go, I heard that there is a coral sea in Dragon City, which is very beautiful, let's go and see it together." Ling Bisheng said quickly.

"Then let's go." Zhu Ci nodded with a smile.

Looking at Zhu Ci's gentle smile, everyone's expressions were in a trance.

Although, apart from Ling Bisheng, most people only had an appreciation for Zhu Ci, you have to admit that when such a beautiful girl smiles at you, everyone will have that unreal feeling.

The group walked towards the coral sea.

Yuwen Xi glanced at Miao Feng, his eyes seemed to be saying: "What's going on? Doesn't Ci Ci like Brother Xu anymore? Ci Ci let go too quickly, right?"

Miao Feng spread his hands, his eyes also full of doubt: "What's the use of asking me? I don't know either."

At the same time, the residence of the Minister of Rites of the Dragon Palace.

Xu Ming came to Lord Turtle's residence again.

This time, Lord Turtle did not go to the brothel to hang out, but greeted Xu Ming politely in the hall.

"Hahaha, please forgive me, Lord Xu, yesterday this old man went to East Street to guide some work, which made Lord Xu make a trip for nothing." Lord Turtle said with a smile.

"Lord Turtle is too polite, I was originally visiting your residence, it was indeed a bit abrupt, it would be good if Lord Turtle didn't blame me." Xu Ming smiled and handed over some well-packaged gifts, "A small gift, please don't dislike it, Lord Turtle."

"Oh dear, Lord Xu, look at you, you came here, why did you bring some gifts, this is too embarrassing, Lord Xu, please take it back quickly." Lord Turtle politely refused.

"Lord Turtle is being polite, how can I visit Lord Turtle without bringing some gifts, please don't refuse, Lord Turtle." Xu Ming pushed the gift over again.

"Alright, since Lord Xu has said so, then Turtle can only reluctantly accept it." Lord Turtle put away the gift, not looking reluctant at all.

However, Lord Turtle did think that this young man was very sensible, without the feeling of being sharp and aggressive like some young people, and he was quite smooth and knew how to deal with people.

"I wonder what matter Lord Xu is visiting for, is there anything Turtle can help with?" Lord Turtle asked.

Since the other party was so sensible, he certainly couldn't let the other party put a hot face on a cold turtle shell.

"It's like this." Xu Ming smiled, "Actually, I wanted to ask about the Youyuan of the North Sea."
