Surprise Hotel

Xia Nuo gazed at Lu Zheng with eyes wide open, her expression somewhat screwed up.

This guy who had returned from the dead reappeared and didn't report to her, but said a lot of things to Zi Wei, so she was naturally a bit unhappy.

Lv Zheng is also aware of this.

He prepared a bunch of words to explain to Xano that it wasn't what she thought, but as soon as he walked over, before he could open his mouth, Xano suddenly opened her arms and hugged him tightly.

Lu Zheng's lips moved for half a day, but in the end, he couldn't say a single word. He slowly raised his hand and hugged Xia Nuo.

Perhaps a hug at this moment could indeed be more than enough to overcome words!

"It's good to be back," Shano said softly.

She wanted nothing else, and the fact that he was still alive was the best thing that could have happened to her.

As for whether she was jealous or not, it didn't matter.

The other executives who were frightened by the sudden situation also came back to their senses with hindsight.

Faced with the leader's "resurrection from the dead", everyone cheered happily.

Wu Wei Dong and Giant Gate handily commanded the guards to remove all the anachronistic sacrificial props from the entire palace.

"Everyone thought you were dead, and it made my old man sad for a long time, and I don't want to go through the white hair thing again." Old Jason lamented, "To make up for my sadness, you'll have to have a drink with me!"

Luthor and Shano separated, smiling and taking old Jason by the shoulders, "Of course you do! By the way, how come I don't see the spirits? She's not supposed to... again..."

"There was no runaway." Old Jason shook his head, "She just didn't want to participate in such a heavy occasion. She's been locking herself in her room after knowing you died with Wookiee to protect everyone."

"She's doing time travel to try and bring you back from among that time. Unfortunately, she can only look at what happened in the time stream, she can't change what has happened."

"This silly girl...since she's doing all the time retracing, didn't she notice that I escaped from the Wasteland Hunters?" Lu Zheng shook his head helplessly, "Alright, I'll go take a look at her. You guys prepare a meal, and we'll celebrate later!"

Saying that, the metal mask closed, Lu Pun was dressed in battle armor and flew out of the main hall in a launch, drawing an arc.

The vine entwined doors and windows added a little life to the plain white domed building.

Yuan Ling sat at the window staring at the porcelain blue sky, she had been like this for days.

She had always heard from Midler and the others when she was ignorant that the dead would turn into stars in the sky, always guarding the people on the ground. Death wasn't really much of a scary thing, it was the parting that was scary.

But the elemental spirits looked for many days without looking at a single star.

Apparently Midler had uttered a euphemism that had been uniform since the dawn of time, but he had forgotten that stars were invisible in the skies of the Waste Land Age. The outer atmosphere was wrapped in dust and meteorite debris, and the light couldn't completely penetrate through, so the sky was always dark and gloomy, and only occasionally could you see a faint sunset.

It was precisely for this reason that Yuan Ling felt doubly lost at the moment.

She knew that those words were used to coax children, but she also wished to see the stars, so that she could at least have some emotional support.

The people around her left one after another, and the atmosphere of sadness enveloped the entire city-state.

In particular, she had been feeling self-condemnation for Lu Pun's death, and she believed that it was her own fault that had caused such a tragedy.

She didn't know how to dissipate this pain and just emptied herself for days on end, staring out the window in a daze.

In a lapse of time, there was a dark shadow speeding past her eyes.

She thought it was a large bird, and didn't care.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door.

The other party knocked three times in a row, but she ignored it.

That wasn't the only person who had knocked on the door in the past few days, Uncle Jason, Shano, Wu Wei Dong, all of them had come. People were afraid that she would starve to death if she locked herself in her room and came to bring her food.

But she had no appetite.

She used to be such a lover of food, so how come she suddenly couldn't eat anything?

The knocking outside sounded twice more, Yuan Ling was a bit impatient and waved her hand directly to set up a barrier outside the door, as a warning to the other party that she was in a bad mood right now and to stay away from strangers.

The Lu Zheng outside the door felt strange.

In his hand, he was still holding the pastry that he had just picked up on his way from the back kitchen, which was Yuan Ling's usual favorite thing.

Lü Zheng guessed that perhaps the recent changes had hit her hard, and that was why she didn't want to see anyone.

Breaking down the door was definitely not an option, but he quickly thought of another way to appear....

Yuan Ling was still ambling in the window, and a head suddenly floated up.

Lu Zheng was holding a cake and smiling, "SURPRISE!"

To the momentarily unresponsive Yuan Ling, it was not a surprise, but a shock.

She screamed in shock and subconsciously pushed forward. The cake in Lü Torture's hand was knocked over, precisely and unmistakably pasting his face.

He used the momentum of his armor to float in the air and raised a hand to wipe his face.

"Yuan Ling, it's me."

Hearing the familiar voice, Yuanling was startled, then got up to examine it carefully. After looking at it for a long time, her expression gradually changed from startled, to excited.

"Brother Lü Torture! It's you!" With a wave of her hand, she swept away the cream of cake from Lu Torture's face, her clear face showing before her eyes, "I'm not dreaming, everyone's holding a seventh day festival for you, you're not returning to your soul..."

"What nonsense are you silly girl talking about." Lu Zheng took her hand and placed it on his face, "Touch it carefully, it's warm."

"It's really alive... So you're not dead!" Yuan Ling gripped his hand tightly, "How did you do that, I've watched time travel back in time countless times, you fell into the lava, and now you're unharmed?"

"Well, that's a long story. If you're interested in hearing my story, why don't you leave the house and join me for a bite to eat?" Lu Zheng smiled.

"Mm!" Yuan Ling nodded heavily while looking at the cream of cake sticking to Lu Zheng's body, a hint of apology appeared on her face, "That, I'm sorry just now, I really didn't think it would be you. This is the eighth floor, ordinary people can't even come up here, I thought it was a bad guy..."

"Your brother I'm certainly no ordinary person!" Lü Criminal took her hand and pulled her right out of the window. Yuan Ling's body was as light as a kite, and Lü Teng gripped her hand and flew with her to the banquet hall.

He might have to prepare a decent story to tell to Yuan Ling, or he might need to think of something pretty to say to celebrate his victory.

Either way, he was filled with joy.

For before the dawn of the world, at this point he had seen the light coming in his own heart.
