Dragon's Origin

Lü Wenhou's words sounded good, saying he could only take one person, but it was clear that he had already decided to take Lin Xiu. Saying it was unfair to Wang Sheng was just a way to make Wang Sheng a target to attract attention, focusing the attention of all the experts in the world on Wang Sheng, so that the people from Worry-Free City could take Lin Xiu away without anyone noticing.

It had to be said that Lü Wenhou had a good plan, and he had already predicted that Wang Sheng would definitely agree to this choice.

Previously, Lü Wenhou and Ling'er had always thought that Wang Sheng and Lin Xiu were in a romantic relationship, but after Ling'er deliberately provoked Lin Xiu with a few words, Lin Xiu's performance completely reassured Lü Wenhou and Ling'er that the two were not in that kind of relationship.

Among all the women in the world, none of them are willing to share their man with another woman. If Lin Xiu were Wang Sheng's woman, with her strong and proud background and personality, I'm afraid that both Mei'er, Qiangwei, and all the beauties in the Changsheng Duke's mansion would not be able to live.

Since they were not in a romantic relationship, separating them would be simple. The number one expert of the Lin family five hundred years ago, after five hundred years of sealing, wouldn't know how to choose? To seek revenge, would she choose the suppressed Wang Sheng fighting alone, or the powerful Worry-Free City? She could almost know the correct answer without much consideration.

"I want ten maids to serve me every step of the way." Sure enough, Lin Xiu didn't even look at Wang Sheng, but said calmly to Lü Wenhou.

"No problem." Lü Wenhou agreed without hesitation to such a simple condition. Not to mention ten maids, he could find her ten legendary-level maids.

"During my recovery, for at least half a year, there can't be any messy things bothering me," Lin Xiu continued to make demands.

"No problem." This was not a problem either, Lü Wenhou immediately agreed without saying a word. Wasn't it just half a year? Worry-Free City had waited for five hundred years, what did they care about half a year?

"Those things I mentioned before, none of them can be missing," Lin Xiu said again.

"Of course!" Lü Wenhou still agreed readily. A secluded place with good scenery and abundant spiritual energy, all kinds of high-level elixirs, grandmasters of formations, these were completely no problem.

"What major events have happened in the past few hundred years? Send the records of these major events to the place where I'm recuperating," Lin Xiu ordered again. She wasn't testing conditions at all, she was directly giving orders.

"Everything is complete and will be delivered soon," Lü Wenhou didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Lin Xiu's tone. The Lin family expert from five hundred years ago should have such a lofty confidence when facing anyone.

"Give Wang Sheng another bottle of the elixir from just now," Lin Xiu finally thought of Wang Sheng, and directly asked for a bottle of elixir for Wang Sheng, while not forgetting to comment, "The taste is good, the alchemist's level is acceptable."

This time Lü Wenhou didn't speak, but simply tilted his head, and Ling'er immediately took out another jade bottle and sent it to Wang Sheng's hand.

Although Lü Wenhou didn't feel any heartache giving things to Wang Sheng, Lin Xiu's evaluation of the alchemist's level made the corner of Lü Wenhou's mouth twitch. Any alchemist who painstakingly refined the Ice Heart Jade Dew Pill would probably be depressed for countless days if it was only evaluated as having a good taste.

But the one who evaluated it was the number one expert of the Lin family back then, even in weakness, her knowledge and ability definitely qualified her to point fingers at it. Perhaps, this bottle of Ice Heart Jade Dew Pill was only worthy of this evaluation.

From the time Lin Xiu started making demands, she never communicated with Wang Sheng again. Wang Sheng didn't say a word either, as if he had accepted this fact.

If Lin Xiu hadn't had that conversation with Wang Sheng before meeting Lü Wenhou, Wang Sheng would never have let Lin Xiu fall into anyone's hands. But after Lin Xiu made the decision herself and told him that she would wait for him to save her, Wang Sheng no longer insisted. Wasn't the current situation exactly what Lin Xiu had discussed before?

"Lastly, the food, drinks, clothes, and utensils must be the best," Lin Xiu said, looking at Wang Sheng after he took the elixir.

"Uh!" Lü Wenhou suddenly realized that this condition, which should have been the easiest to satisfy, turned out to be the most difficult.

Food? Where is the best food? If you ask anyone, they will tell you, the Changsheng Duke's mansion! Drinks? The same, the Changsheng Duke's mansion! Clothes? Dream Workshop, a property of the Changsheng Duke's mansion. Utensils? Qianshengyuan Runzifang Yayun, these things are also properties of the Changsheng Duke's mansion.

"The chef in my house in Worry-Free City, you can take him away!" Wang Sheng finally opened his mouth, which made Lü Wenhou breathe a sigh of relief: "And those two maids, take them together."

It was too easy for the city lord of Worry-Free City to take away three servants from Worry-Free City. Lü Wenhou nodded without saying a word, and a look of gratitude flashed in his eyes. If Wang Sheng didn't nod, he probably wouldn't know what to do. It would be foolish to break the rules of the inner city of Worry-Free City in full view of everyone.

"You can buy things in the capital with gold coins, you don't need me to say hello," Wang Sheng said again, and Lü Wenhou nodded again.

Now it was Wang Sheng's turn to speak, and Lin Xiu remained silent.

"Brother Lü, if, I mean if," Wang Sheng suddenly asked Lü Wenhou with a smile, "If I don't agree to this cooperation, what would you do?"

Neither Lü Wenhou nor Ling'er expected Wang Sheng to ask this question. But fortunately, they also understood that Wang Sheng was only saying if, and not really refusing to cooperate.

"Although I don't want to admit it, but..." Lü Wenhou smiled bitterly and replied to Wang Sheng: "You also know that my identity as the city lord of Worry-Free City is absolutely not allowed to be known by outsiders. You understand."

Wang Sheng nodded, he certainly understood. Not only was it Lü Wenhou's identity as the city lord of Worry-Free City, but probably if Wang Sheng refused, Lü Wenhou and Ling'er would immediately become enemies. Merchants would only maximize their own interests, and they would not hesitate to kill Wang Sheng and Lin Xiu in order to draw closer the relationship between Worry-Free City and the eight great families, and righteously demand a share in the secret of the Thousand Desolation Land.

At this time, Wang Sheng and Lin Xiu were both injured and weak. No matter how powerful Lin Xiu's fighting instincts were, what could she do? Lü Wenhou didn't need to fight at all, as long as he set a fire from afar, Wang Sheng and Lin Xiu would have to be buried in the sea of fire. No matter how great their abilities were, they could only die with regret on the spot. Smart people would not be foolish enough to kill people by having to do it themselves.

"Okay!" Wang Sheng was quite satisfied with Lü Wenhou's answer, at least he didn't lie to Wang Sheng: "Help me send A Qi over, and put that set of clothes on A Qi as well, it can deceive others from a distance."

While speaking, Wang Sheng also swept over Lin Xiu's eyes. In both of their eyes, there was a flash of mutual trust, fleeting.
