The manager's space partitioning technique was quite sophisticated. Although the people at the tables in the hall could not affect the outside world in any way, only light was still operating according to the normal laws of physics, so Jing Yuan could still see the situation of the people at other tables. Compared with the "insiders" who were sitting at a table with just the two of them, the atmosphere at the other tables seemed to be in chaos. The gentle woman who walked into the coffee shop holding Bai Lu, for some reason, suddenly hugged the two girls with silver hair and purple hair and cried together. Several girls who were dressed quite fancy and were said to be magical girls surrounded the three crying girls, at a loss. The two pioneers, Xing and Sanyueqi, stood behind a red-haired girl with twin ponytails like door gods, and examined the sweaty train crew senior together with the latter. Two girls who looked the same, one with horns and the other without, sat together with two maids with long and short gray-blonde hair, discussing in a low voice whether there was anything that could be improved in the dishes prepared tonight. Two little girls with silver-gray hair and gray eyes each opened a notebook and connected them together. They said something seriously while stretching out their hands and typing on the keyboard. The store manager and several employees who stayed out of the matter were cracking melon seeds boredly, crossing their legs, and watching everything happening in front of them with great interest. Even if you can't hear the sound over there, but just by looking at this picture, you can know that the atmosphere over there has definitely fallen into a state of chaos. But no matter how chaotic things were, the diners at the manager's table could always get along harmoniously. Even when it came to Walter Yang who was being interrogated by the red-haired girl with twin ponytails, Jing Yuan could see the doting in his eyes and couldn't help revealing a hint of envy. Compared with the store manager's side, the situation faced by those "old friends" on the other side can only be described as "tragic".
Within a few minutes after his "self" from the future, who had become General Luofu, pulled him out of the Yunshang Five Elites team, the atmosphere at that table quickly dropped below freezing point at a speed that he even found a little ridiculous. At the beginning, the person who asked the questions was Jing Liu, who had not yet fallen into the devil's shadow. Jing Yuan couldn't hear what she asked, but based on his understanding of his mentor's character, she probably asked the "self" in front of her directly what happened in the future because her thinking logic was like a straight line. Unexpectedly, this question directly ignited the "Mirror Flow" who was deeply trapped in the evil spirit. She slammed the table in front of her and stood up. Then, she condensed an ice sword at lightning speed and pointed it at Danfeng. Her lips opened and closed at a very fast speed... Judging from Danfeng's iron-green face, she probably cursed a lot of ugly words. Just when Jing Yuan was thinking that he had never seen his naturally indifferent master display such an aggressive attitude, the arrogant Dan Feng suddenly stood up and started a passionate quarrel with the "Jing Liu" who was deeply trapped in the evil. Soon, their passionate quarrel turned into a brawl. As Jing Liu, who was trapped in the evil spirit, slashed out with a sword, Dan Feng immediately summoned the Cloud Chant Technique, and the rushing water and white ice blades splashed in the space that was completely isolated by the store manager. If it were just that, it would be fine, but it is only too normal for people who are deeply trapped in the devil's shadow to be unable to control themselves. But the weird thing is that, in response to the fight between the two men, which was obviously a result of real anger, neither Dan Heng from the future nor Jing Liu, Ying Xing and Bai Heng from the past made any extreme reaction. Jing Liu, who had not yet fallen into the evil spirit, had been rubbing his hands together for a long time when the two started fighting, with an eager expression on his face. Ying Xing's face was pale, and his eyes were wandering around with surprise and grief. He didn't dare to look at the battle situation that had become a mess, nor did he dare to look at the fox woman beside him. Bai Heng, who always had a cheerful personality, was expressionless for a rare time. She bit a piece of moa wing root that was bigger than her palm without saying a word. Seeing Bai Heng biting the grilled chicken wing, Jing Yuan, who had not yet become a general, suddenly felt a chill down his spine and couldn't help but shivering slightly. He didn't know why, but he always felt that Bai Heng's biting was like biting someone's flesh, full of murderous aura. "What's the problem?" General Jing Yuan calmly drank the liquor in the glass in one gulp, letting the hot feeling invade his body from his throat, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "We are all adults now, and we must always take responsibility for our own choices." Jing Yuan has always been a very rational person. During the hundreds of years that he has been the general of Luofu, this rationality that calculates everything, together with the great achievements he left behind in the past, has made his reputation in the fairy boat Luofu reach a quite terrifying level. But at this moment, the General Shen Ce who was calculating everything, very rarely showed a kind of "willfulness" that even he himself in the past found difficult to understand, as if he was sulking silently. "Would you like a drink?" After drinking a glass of good wine, General Jing Yuan took the wine pot and filled the white porcelain cup with clear wine. He said with some admiration, "This wine tastes really good. It is really an unprecedented enjoyment to pair it with some novel side dishes. This store manager who travels around in different worlds is really a wonderful person. I wonder if this cafe plans to start a take-out business." "..." Although Jing Yuan from the past did not quite understand General Jing Yuan's rather strange behavior, as the same person, he did not think that the other party's insistence on bringing him out was aimless, so he could only pretend that he did not see the scene of Dan Feng being surrounded and beaten by the two Jingliu, and he gritted his teeth and raised the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
"I don't have any memory of ever entering this cafe." General Jingyuan shook the empty cup in his hand. "Although we can be considered the same person, in a way, we are also two completely different individuals." "As the current Heavenly General of Luofu, I need to be responsible for Xianzhou Luofu for all my words and deeds. Therefore, even if you are also 'Jingyuan', I can't share Xianzhou Luofu's confidential information with you." He said lightly. "...You don't trust us?" Jing Yuan was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice. "Rather than saying I don't trust you, it's better to say I don't trust you... No, it's because of the crimes we, the Five Warriors of the Cloud, committed against the Immortal Boat." General Jing Yuan filled his porcelain cup with wine again. "It's not difficult to cultivate trust. As the current leader of the Immortal Boat Luofu, I don't mind giving basic trust to everyone I meet for the first time. If a leader doesn't have the magnanimity to trust others, he will never be able to win the support of the majority." "But at the same time, it's also very easy to completely destroy this trust." He said with some melancholy, "Even if those people were once your best friends who knew you all the time, and elders who taught you, after being betrayed once, you must be mentally prepared to intrigue with them until the end." "But you still let your..." Jing Yuan turned his head and glanced at Dan Feng, who was beaten black and blue by the two Jingliu. His eyes twitched slightly, "... and still let your mentor who was trapped in the evil Yin stay there." "Yes, my teacher is deeply trapped in the evil spirit and has difficulty controlling herself. With a little guidance, even she, who has not been deeply trapped in the evil spirit, can easily get most of the truth from her." General Jing Yuan nodded, "So I left her there, using her current easy-to-lose-control characteristics to test whether you have any basis for me to trust you." As he spoke, a trace of extremely majestic coldness flashed across General Jing Yuan's pupils, and his tone became extremely chilling: "It's a pity that the final result really disappointed me." Hundreds of years ago, the Five Yunshang Warriors could be said to be five close comrades-in-arms. On the battlefield, all of them could safely entrust their lives to each other. They drank and talked happily, and imagined a better future. Under such extreme sentimentality, almost everyone overlooked that these five people were all very individual and had very different outlooks on life. Can two people with very different values become close friends? Of course they can, but the prerequisite is that they must not encounter any topics involving grassroots positions and events in the process of getting along. Otherwise, the huge difference in concepts can easily tear apart the friendship that was inseparable not long ago. Historical experience teaches every manager that anyone can have a lively chat with group members they have never met, but once someone shows his or her butt, then as long as there are group members with their butts sitting in different positions, it will definitely turn into a butt war that cannot be controlled - countless groups that have been banned have proved this point, which has sounded a wake-up call for those who come later. Therefore, most managers will limit the scope of group discussion to a single topic and will never allow butt wars. On the surface, the tragedy of the Five Warriors of Yunshang was caused by an accident, an invasion of abundance that they could hardly resist. However, as the leader of Luofu, after reviewing the tragedy with heavy casualties several times, General Jing Yuan could clearly realize that their fate was not just due to a single accidental incident. Dan Feng is indeed an unforgivable sinner. Not only because the crimes he committed caused heavy casualties to the Chiming Clan and indirectly led to Jingliu, who was trapped in the evil body, killing a large number of Xianzhou people, but also because his attitude towards abundance is completely different from that of the Yunqi who are determined to practice "hunting". He still held onto hope and left room for abundance. Compared with the crimes committed by Dan Feng, this is what General Jing Yuan truly cannot tolerate. In fact, it was not only General Jing Yuan who could not tolerate it. After hearing that Danfeng, in order to revive Bai Heng, teamed up with Yingxing to perform the magic of transforming into a dragon on him, but ended up creating an evil dragon with abundant power, resulting in the sacrifice of thousands of Chiming and Yunqi, not only Jingliu who had already fallen into the devil's body could not help but attack Danfeng out of his rage and anger, even Jingliu who had not yet fallen into the devil's body was a little stunned and almost fell into the devil's body on the spot. You **! (Xianzhou swear words) Using the flesh and blood of your best friend for experiments is fine, if you can make some contribution to the future, donating your body is not something that is completely unacceptable, but you ** (Xianzhou swear words) are you touching the power of abundance, is there a stardust in your brain? ! ! ! Xianzhou has used thousands of years of history to tell you, don’t touch Fengzao! Don’t touch Fengzao! That thing is not a good thing. It’s okay for others, but you, the great Chiming Dragon Lord, have killed so many Fengzao evil things with us, and you also saw with your own eyes what the hell Shuhu was when Bai Heng died. How the hell did you put that ghost thing and Bai Heng together? ! ! ! Watching Dan Feng being beaten madly by two Jingliu, Dan Heng leisurely drank a sip of warm tea - although he did not completely stop drinking, he really did not want to drink with these culprits who were the direct cause of his being imprisoned for who knows how many years after he was born, and finally being expelled from the Immortal Boat like a stray dog. "Stop fighting! Stop fighting! Let's not talk about whether what this guy said is true or not. Even if it is true, I haven't done those things yet, right?!" Dan Feng was madly fleeing from the two Jingliu's crazy swords, while roaring in frustration that he almost vomited blood. Chapter 5 Super Evolution of Jing Yuan (k) Dan Feng's experience today was full of drama and twists and turns. The honorable Lord Luofu Yinyue could be said to have never suffered such a big humiliation in his life. Before entering this coffee shop, he was the one who was humiliated most of the time. He was the Dragon Lord who knew the art of controlling water from birth, and he was one of the Five Heroes on the Cloud who was famous in the Xianzhou. Even in the entire Xianzhou Alliance, very few people dared to offend him. In Dan Feng's concept, his name would definitely leave a brilliant and glorious mark in the history of the Xianzhou Alliance together with the Five Heroes of the Cloud. Of course, this was nothing to his proud nature, but he never thought that in just a few system hours, his identity would suddenly turn from a hero who would definitely leave a glorious legend in the history of Xianzhou to a felon who was the target of public criticism, and the kind that immediately caused several of his other close friends who were also the Five Heroes of the Cloud to turn against each other. At this moment, his hands were tied tightly with a rope, his handsome face was covered with bruises, his clothes were full of marks left by ice blades, and his frozen and punctured skin was faintly visible through the holes in his clothes. The two Jingliu stood in front of Dan Feng with stern expressions, staring at him intently, each of them tightly grasping their weapons, with an expression of regret on their faces as if they had not fought enough... I don't know if the manager of this cafe had already anticipated that their talks would definitely break down to the point where they couldn't help but fight, the nearby space had already been fixed to the extent that even if people like them fought fiercely, it would never cause any damage to the nearby hall.
In the past, even a proud person like Dan Feng would probably not be able to help but show admiration for the store manager's miraculous skills. But now he had no mood to admire it at all. Dan Feng really had no words to express his pain. The frustration in his heart was so strong that he was about to go crazy. But even so, even though he was beaten so badly by the two Jingliu without any regard for their colleagues, he still couldn't find anywhere to vent his grievances. Jing Liu, who was trapped in the body of the devil, did not have many memories of the past left in his mind. For the immortal species of the Immortal Boat, falling into the devil's body was no different from death. It would be better to say that when trapped in the devil's body, death was the best ending for the people of the Immortal Boat. Even though she managed to suppress the evil spirit with the help of external forces and avoid the most tragic end of having her personality completely devoured, the power of the evil spirit was still eroding Jing Liu's memory and consciousness all the time. Under the erosion of the evil spirit, most of Jing Liu's memories had long been as difficult to touch as the moon in the mirror. However, she was able to describe every minute and every moment of the "Drinking Moon Rebellion" that caused the Five Heroes of Yunshang to fall apart in a clear and fluent manner. Her accusations against Dan Feng were detailed and the evidence was irrefutable. After all, Bai Lu and Dan Heng, who were in the same coffee shop, could be considered evidence in themselves. Therefore, under her accusations mixed with sweet words, the other Jing Liu, who was originally extremely wary of her, almost turned to be the object of hostility without hesitation - although for Jing Liu at this time period, Dan Feng was definitely a comrade-in-arms worthy of her respect and friendship, but after knowing that this guy had actually got his hands on the evil creature of abundance, he immediately abandoned the past friendship before falling into Jing Liu. For the people of Xianzhou, especially the Cloud Rider Sword Master like Jingliu, the rich evil creatures are almost equivalent to poison. When facing people who dare to be contaminated by this kind of thing, let alone close friends, even if they are relatives connected by blood, she will enforce the law impartially and ruthlessly. The only difference is that she will try to reduce the other person's pain as much as possible when taking action, so that the person can die more quickly and neatly. If it weren't for the fact that Dan Feng, who was sitting here, had not actually committed that catastrophic crime, and that this cafe had greatly restricted the power of the two Jingliu, he would have probably already become a real corpse. "Dan Feng, Dan Feng, how do you want me to say hello to you?" At this moment, contrary to everyone's expectations, a clear voice with a hint of melancholy suddenly sounded. Bai Heng played with the wine glass in his hand and drank the wine in the glass. "You know what? When I was traveling in this sea of stars, I was fortunate to meet the ruling class of many worlds. After all, you all know that my luck is always bad. Even if I take the safest route, I always run into some strange things and accidentally deviate from the route for various inexplicable reasons." The others at the table listened silently to Bai Heng recounting her past experiences. Even Jing Liu, who was trapped in the evil spirit, loosened his five fingers that were tightly gripping the hilt of the ice sword, and the expression on his face gradually calmed down. Bai Heng went on to say, "This route always leads to some strange worlds. To the people in those worlds, everything in the Milky Way is unknown. And you know, foxes like me are only creatures that exist in fantasy in many worlds, so I am always wanted by people in those worlds under various strange names. Some alien criminals, some man-eating monsters... It's really infuriating. Do I look that scary?" She filled her glass with wine again, and said with a smile, "It was because I was a person with some eloquence that I was able to make peace after some hard talk. However, the Star Raft cannot be repaired in a short time. In the end, I could only temporarily live in those worlds and piece together some materials to repair the Star Raft. You all know the concept of time for us immortals. It took several years to go back and forth." "What does a fox girl whose appearance has not changed after several years mean to the short-lived species who have never seen the long-lived species..." Bai Heng raised his wine glass and drank the wine in the glass again, then heaved a long sigh, "As people from the Immortal Boat, everyone should have some idea of what this means, so there is no need for me to repeat it." Her smile suddenly turned bitter. "We all know the dangers of immortality, and we all understand why the Immortal Boat Alliance has been committed to eradicating the endless expansion of the rich evil creatures. But for the short-lived species, immortality is still an irresistible temptation. No matter how wise and intelligent a person is, he will try every means to seek ways to prolong his life, thus revealing all kinds of crazy and ugly behaviors. Those friendships I have worked so hard to win are simply vulnerable to the temptation of immortality. Some people try to use violence to make me submit, and some people will wantonly plunder the resources and wealth of the weaker ones after realizing that their violence cannot fight against me, trying to use those things to exchange for the secret of immortality." "Compared to them, even the Xianzhou Alliance, which had suffered so much from the pain of immortality, can be considered lucky. After all, judging from the final result, the Xianzhou Alliance is at least a successful party in the pursuit of immortality." Bai Heng took a deep breath and said, "Then I figured it out. In fact, in the final analysis, the idea of wanting to be immortal is not wrong. After all, for living things, wanting to live forever is just an instinct. Even in the Milky Way, there is a huge difference in the lifespan between different species. In the eyes of those creatures that can only live for a few years or even a few days, the short-lived species in our eyes are not another kind of immortal species." "It's just that most people can hardly afford the price of that kind of life-extending power." The other people present listened silently to Bai Heng's melancholy words. Dan Feng lowered his head silently, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes. With Dan Feng's pride, he would not bother to make excuses for his failure. Since there is sufficient evidence for the accusation of "Drinking Moon Rebellion", he does not mind taking the corresponding responsibility for it, but this does not mean that he will not feel unwilling. Admitting failure does not conflict with wanting to win back next time. What's more - did he really fail? Dan Feng turned his gaze to Bai Lu who was eating and drinking at another table, and a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes. If what Jing Liu, who was trapped in the evil spirit, said was true, then he... or rather, the sin committed by "Dan Feng" who used the magic of dragon transformation on Bai Heng's flesh and blood was indeed unforgivable. But if his experiment with Ying Xing really failed, then why... Bai Heng's reincarnation became the current Dragon Lord? And even broke free of the appearance and posture that bound the generations of Yin Yue Jun? Just as Bai Heng said, the pursuit of hope for life is the survival instinct of every living thing. This idea itself is not wrong, but the price paid for the behavior of "Dan Feng" is difficult for anyone to accept. In that case—— The moment this thought came to mind, a sword emitting a chill suddenly came to Dan Feng's neck.
Dan Feng lowered his head, glanced at the ice sword, then raised his gaze again and looked fearlessly at Jing Liu who was holding the ice sword. "I never kill people who have no interest in life and are waiting to be killed." Jing Liu, who was trapped in the evil spirit, looked at Dan Feng with a cold gaze and raised his chin towards the door of the hall. "Stand up and go to the door of this store." "Since you are unwilling to give up that idea, then, before you really cause a disaster, why not let me end your life." "No, let me do it." Jing Liu, who had not yet fallen into the evil spirit, said coldly, "We don't need outsiders to interfere in our affairs." "...No, none of you can touch him." Just at this time. A calm voice suddenly interrupted the two Mirror Streamers' conversation. "The Moon Drinking Rebellion did cause heavy casualties in Xianzhou Luofu, but there is no law in Xianzhou Luofu that targets crimes that have not yet occurred." Jing Yuan, who had not yet become a general, walked back here with a slight smile on his face. "... Jing Yuan?" Jing Liu, who had not yet fallen into the evil spirit, frowned slightly, but after hesitating for a moment, he moved away. ——After all, if we talk about the sins she committed in the future, even if she was not as guilty as Dan Feng and Ying Xing, she was not much better as she committed evil and killed her compatriots. In the known future, among the five Yunshang warriors still alive, only Jing Yuan is always walking on the right path and guarding the fairy boat Luofu with all his heart and responsibility. In a sense, in front of Jing Yuan, no one except Bai Heng had the right to speak, so even if they had already developed murderous intentions towards Dan Feng, the two Jingliu still controlled themselves at the same time and gave the right to speak to Jing Yuan who had returned to the queue. Dan Feng looked at Jing Yuan with a smile on his face, his expression a little complicated. Jing Yuan, who had not yet become a general, walked in front of Dan Feng and smiled: "Don't look at me like that. The sins committed by your future self have already been borne by your future self. For us, now that nothing has happened, it is more important to find a way to deal with the troubles that will happen in the future rather than wasting our strength meaninglessly." "I think Master should agree with this, right?" Jing Liu, who had not yet fallen into the evil spirit, nodded slightly. "Everyone should know the year when the Order of Abundance invaded. Although Danfeng started the Moon Drinking Rebellion, at least he did his best when facing the evil creature of abundance." Jing Yuan said calmly, "Danfeng, logically speaking, I am not qualified to command you now, but you should also know that after entering this cafe, it is impossible for us to return to the relationship in the past as we have touched the future. So from today on, I will directly take over all the command rights of the five of us. Do you have any objections?" "No." Bai Heng and Jing Liu were the first to respond. Ying Xing was silent for a moment and shook his head: "...No." Dan Feng gritted his teeth: "...No." "I don't really want to hear such words, but I have to make do with the situation. Since you guys agree on the surface, I'll assume that you guys approve of it from the bottom of your heart." Jing Yuan sighed and shook his head. "Dan Feng, I also know what your Chi Ming tribe wants, so... I will support your research." "What—" Dan Feng looked up in surprise. Not only him, but even the two Jingliu had their pupils shrank slightly, revealing an expression of disbelief. "Are you crazy?" Jing Liu couldn't help but yell. "I'm not crazy. Rather, I'm more sober than ever." Jing Yuan said calmly, "The Moon Drinking Rebellion was indeed a serious disaster, but that doesn't mean we can't deal with it if we know everything in advance. Dan Feng is the Dragon Lord of the Chiming Clan, and we can't judge him if he hasn't actually committed any crime. If we use lynching on him here, how do you want the Chiming Clan to view Xianzhou Luofu?" "..." Jingliu suddenly shut his mouth. In terms of swordsmanship, she is Jing Yuan's master, but when it comes to strategy, ten of her put together cannot beat one Jing Yuan.
And... looking at Jing Yuan's already majestic posture, it is obvious that while they were chasing Dan Feng and beating her up, he and the "Jing Yuan" who had already become General Luofu were also not idle at all. He might have been given some special treatment by his future self. "No one would actively want to be a sinner, Dan Feng, I believe you are the same." Jing Yuan smiled, "The root cause of the Yinyue Rebellion is that you used the Dragon Transformation Technique to give birth to an evil dragon with abundant power in the Scaled Abyss Realm. Although I don't know why you chose to use the Dragon Transformation Technique in a place like the Scaled Abyss Realm, but now that I know the specific location of your experiment, then I have countless ways to prevent you from using the so-called Dragon Transformation Technique." "So, you should also understand that compared to insisting on conducting private experiments with Ying Xing, the better choice is undoubtedly to keep the entire experiment under everyone's control, right?" “……”Dan Feng nodded helplessly. Although he is proud, he cannot deny the objective reality.
