Lord of Eternal Darkness

Li Xiaoming stared at his fiancée speechlessly, but when he saw the excitement on the photographer's face, he hurriedly covered it up and pretended to smile innocently.

The smile on her face was a bit mind-numbing. Even though she was beautiful, it felt like it was being photographed, which made the photographer a little embarrassed. What's going on with these two guys? Aren't they a couple? Why does your smile look so weird? Could it be that you are too nervous?

"Take it easy, both of you. Just keep a normal smile, and stand closer."

The two people were getting closer and closer, and the fragrance of Chu Moyue's body filled her heart. Li Xiaoming felt the stimulation of male hormones, and Mo Yue blushed a little.

The photographer was snickering, not expecting that this strange couple was still very unfamiliar. She must be still trying to get along with her in her first love, so I can be considered helpful. I can't help but feel the warmth rising in my heart. Young people's love is so good.

The other party took a dozen sets of photos for Xiao Ming and the others. Some compared each other's hands to love, some asked Li Xiaoming to pose in a princess hug, or the two of them were back to back separated by a big tree.

"OK, it's really perfect. Our photography store needs such a romantic and young love, and a character that is still getting used to it. This is a little reward for you, it's insignificant. Please contact me more when you have time next time."

As soon as the photographer finished speaking, he took out a business card from his pocket and gave it to them along with the 20 B list.

Mo Yue said disapprovingly: "It's okay, you took the photo very well, I'm very happy, so the money will be waived..."

Li Xiaoming had quick eyes and quick hands and put the money into his pocket in an instant. Don't give it up, you can't eat your face, and this is legal income, but why does this person look familiar?

He took the business card politely and looked down: Sweet Photo Studio. Contact person: Jun Zilan. Phone number 178……XXX

Jun Zilan handed all the developed photos to Li Xiaoming and the others. But the cost of taking photos is not free, and business has to be done, so I only spent 20 yuan to take a dozen sets of perfect photos.

"Goodbye." Both parties waved goodbye.

The corner of Jun Zilan's mouth raised slightly. She looked at the collection of photos in her hand. She had already thought of a title in her mind. It was called "Miss Qianjin is by my side". I believe it will attract a lot of people's attention.

Li Xiaoming walked slowly with Chu Moyue. The original twenty-minute journey took twice as long.

But I don't know why, both of them enjoyed this elegant environment of solitude. Coupled with the unique flowers and trees in the city, it really had a romantic atmosphere.

Li Xiaoming turned on his phone and checked the results on the school's official website. When the rankings were announced, he found that he was only fifth, with a total of about 4,600 points.

He frowned, feeling that the shady situation was too serious, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he seemed to have exposed something. After all, it was someone else's dream world.

Li Xiaoming stopped and looked at the bar, which gave people a very old and simple feel. There was a wooden sign nailed to it with the word "gospel" written on it, and there were stone carvings of two wine glasses placed at the door.

"What are you waiting for? Come in quickly, I'm so excited, so excited..." Mo Yue suddenly became quiet as he spoke, noticing his gaffe.

"Oh, there's really nothing I can do about you. Let's just relax. The law and order in this city should be less chaotic." Li Xiaoming smelled the aroma of sweet wine in the air.

Today, the tavern is still bustling with people, filled with many people of all kinds.

There are businessmen who are selling sales, and the saliva is almost flying into the wine. The social workers who have just got off work are boringly sending home to relieve the stress of the day; the gamblers and chess players are surrounding each other. Chess pieces, humming musicians, silent idlers just drinking...

Li Xiaoming slowly opened the wooden door. The air inside was filled with tobacco, alcohol, and the sound of people chatting.

The eyes of the people around who were drinking and talking were attracted. They glanced briefly and went back to their work, but most of them were full of praise. This guy's girlfriend is really good-looking, and he still has a beautiful partner. Face-saving.

The bartender nodded to him in a friendly manner and asked casually: "Hello, sir and madam, the weather is nice today, do you need anything to drink?"

Li Xiaoming touched his chin and thought for a while. "Just a glass of water of life and some fragrant ale for the lady. By the way, let's have some snacks."

"Okay, no problem, then please take a seat."

Li Xiaoming took the curious Chu Moyue to find a clean place and wiped the stool, elegantly showing a man's demeanor.

Mo Yue said carefully: "A Ming, you seem to be very skilled. This is not good. In the future, you must learn to take care of your family. Don't hang out here every day, smelling of alcohol."

"I only come occasionally. After all, I don't have that much time to relax and entertain. What's more, I can hear stories from all kinds of people from all over the world." Li Xiaoming replied with a smile.

"Have you heard?" an outsider said while shaking his wine glass, "that despicable villain known as the shame of the North actually won the championship of the illusory dream world."

Hearing this, another soldier slammed the table hard and said with disdain: "If it weren't for my poor condition today, I would have had some bad luck today. I didn't pick up any good equipment. Otherwise, how could he win the championship?"

It is human nature to be jealous, especially those who you think are worse than you and can get better grades than you.

So once someone started, others immediately came over, just for fun when they were bored. For a while, there were different opinions about the deeds of this shame in the north.

"I heard that this guy protects a poor village and insists on asking for protection money. This has absolutely no chivalry at all!"

"No, last time I saw this guy tearing apart a pair of mandarin ducks alive, how could he be so ruthless!"

"I also suspect that he has sold illegal goods. Otherwise, where did he get so much money?"

"This is nothing. I heard that he was a down-and-out nobleman. His father finally fought for a career for him. When he attacked a small mountain village, he actually became a deserter. This time, the family's face was completely disgraced. Well, you actually have the nerve to come to Titan City."

Everyone was talking more and more loudly, and finally an old man sitting nearby couldn't listen anymore. This old man was the villager protected by the man they despised in the north.

He was not sure whether this man had done anything else, but he was certain that not only did this man not take any of the village's protection money, but he even generously gave away a large sum of money.

Now that he heard his benefactor being slandered, how could he sit idly by and do nothing? Just as the old man stood up and said:

"You are just showing... huh?" But he was held down by the mysterious man who stood up first in the corner.

The old man was confused at first, and then shocked. Although the mysterious man couldn't see clearly with his helmet on, he still recognized the man in front of him as his savior through his clear eyes.

Bai Jing Caesar smiled and signaled the old man not to alarm others, and then said in a low voice: "Thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary. I don't care about these false names, and people don't care about the truth. They only believe what they want to see." Yes, just think of me as a clown, making everyone laugh."

After that, the man picked up the wine on the table and drank it all. He put down the money and was about to turn around and leave. Only the old man with a solemn face was left looking at the direction in which the man left and said in a deep voice:

"People only know you as a ruffian, but they forget that you are also a proud northerner."

The man left in style, and he never explained why he was slandered by the world, just because - you can't stop the mouths of everyone in the world.

Li Xiaoming looked at the wine brought to the table, gently picked it up and took a sip. Looking at the man's back, he felt a little familiar. "Bai Jing, you can't go wrong by looking at his body shape. It must be him. He is quite good. Why is his reputation not so good, especially among outsiders?"

Chu Moyue blew on the foam on the beer, took a sip, and slowly tasted it on the tip of her tongue.

Then he stuck out his pink tongue. "Yeah, it's so bitter and doesn't taste good."

Then I saw Li Xiaoming staring at the door with a solemn expression. He didn't know what he was thinking. He thought he was sad because he didn't get first place in the exam.

"Amin, you are already very good. Don't worry too much about ranking. After all, you are just a dream master. Unlike Bai Jing, who is an upper-class knight, you don't have such high double resistance and offensive methods."

Hearing his fiancée's comfort, Li Xiaoming smiled bitterly. He understood that his points should be the highest, and he should be worthy of the name. However, according to the results released on the school's official website, he seemed to be only fifth.

In fact, I don't care that much about the ranking. If it is too high, it will definitely attract attention. There will be some disputes. It's good to keep a low profile, but you have to choose a time to "have a chat" with those teachers.

Chu Moyue stared at Li Xiaoming's wine glass with some curiosity. Imagining the place where Li Xiaoming's lips had touched, I instantly felt a heat in my heart.

Li Xiaoming's wine has a dreamy blue color, but his own wine is very ordinary, yellow and foamy, and doesn't look very attractive. Are all wines really terrible to drink? She didn't believe it. It was definitely not to drink from the same cup as Li Xiaoming.

Li Xiaoming noticed Chu Moyue's gaze, which was always staring at his wine glass. "What's wrong, Ayue?"

"No...it's nothing. I just think your wine tastes better than mine."

Li Xiaoming was amused, "Forget it, girls shouldn't drink such high-purity alcohol. The alcohol content of malt wine is relatively low, which is suitable for your new girl. In fact, wine is also good, but it is definitely not as expensive as yours. Forget it. "

"I don't care, I just want to drink." Chu Moyue pouted her lips and glanced at him.

Li Xiaoming said helplessly: "Forget it, it really doesn't work."

Before she finished speaking, the wine glass was snatched away by Chu Mo Yueyue in an instant. She had to sigh that the assassin's hand speed was so fast. Then she just took a small sip and was staggering drunk in an instant, her face flushed, and she kept slapping Liquor burps are surprisingly cute.

"Yeah, it worked. Why do I feel so dizzy?" Chu Moyue showed an intoxicated smile.

Li Xiaoming held his forehead. He originally came here to have a drink, but now the situation is unexpected. What should he do? It’s hard to explain when you meet an acquaintance on the road. Can you walk home by yourself like this?

…

When Bai Jing walked out of the tavern, he took off his helmet, revealing his short silver hair, and smiled bitterly, as if he was mocking himself.

Then he murmured: "I must, must fight for a glorious future for the people of the North. Even if I will bear the shame for the rest of my life, I know that I have never done anything to regret others or myself. ."
