Chapter 112 Old age
After arranging Mingli and others near the Salt Temple, Zhu Yuncheng once again entered a state of leisure.
Now is the early stage of the Demon War. All the demons, strong or weak, are hiding away, carefully observing the situation in Teyvat.
Under such circumstances, Zhu Yuncheng was accustomed to practicing the Taixu Yin Yang Record in seclusion. Even now, he had not yet completed the third stage of the Taixu Yin Yang Record and the transformation had not been completed. The yin and yang energies in his body were still like liquids.
Another training session lasted for more than ten days until night when Zhu Yuncheng was awakened by Gan Yu's voice.
"Brother, brother, come out for dinner."
Zhu Yuncheng woke up from his practice and said helplessly: "Junior sister, didn't I tell you not to call me unless it's something serious? I've already been fasting for a long time. I haven't eaten for several months and nothing has happened."
Ganyu said as a matter of course: "I know, but this is indeed a big deal, the master is here too!"
"Oh!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuncheng's expression changed. His arrogant master was also here. It seemed to be a really big deal. He immediately stood up and left the room.
"Senior Brother!" As soon as she opened the door, she saw Gan Yu smiling sweetly at her. Looking at her beautiful face, Zhu Yuncheng couldn't help but smile and reached out to rub her head.
It’s strange to say, when Ganyu first appeared in his previous life, Zhu Yuncheng called her “wife” all the time with great enthusiasm, but after traveling here and cultivating Ganyu from scratch until now, looking at her now, he can’t muster the slightest interest in her.
Well, this is probably what is called the daughter filter?
Following Gan Yu all the way to Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuncheng saw that his arrogant master had already sat on the dining table filled with delicacies. When she saw Zhu Yuncheng coming, she snorted softly: "You have already handed the matter over to your junior sister Gan Yu and have been free yourself. How could you forget such a thing?"
Zhu Yuncheng was stunned. Had he ever forgotten anything?
"Brother! Happy 100th birthday!"
Gan Yu's voice awakened Zhu Yuncheng.
It suddenly dawned on him: "Today is my 100th birthday!"
Ever since the death of Ning Kuan and Zhu Xie, Zhu Yuncheng no longer cared about his birthday. Even Gan Yu would only celebrate for him occasionally, so Zhu Yuncheng had long forgotten his age.
Now that it was brought up again, Zhu Yuncheng couldn't help but feel as if he were in another world.
I am already a hundred years old, which would have considered me a long-lived man even in my previous life in China. However, my energy is still abundant and I feel that I can still live for several hundred more years.
"What's wrong? Your junior sister Ganyu called me here to celebrate your birthday and even learned how to make pastries for you. What's with that expression on your face?" Liu Yun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the sighing look on Zhu Yuncheng's face.
"No, no!" Zhu Yuncheng waved his hands repeatedly, "Master, I'm just lamenting that time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, I have been your disciple for eighty-six years. I still remember the first time I met you, Master."
Liu Yun was also reminded of his past: "Yes, you were already fourteen years old back then, but you looked as thin and small as if you were ten years old. In fact, the time that left the deepest impression on me was the first time you used the Wind Summoning Chime and I spanked you."
Zhu Yuncheng: “..........” What can he say? He is indeed a great chatterbox.
"Master Zhenjun, has your senior brother really been spanked by you?" Ganyu came over with a sweet flower cake. When she heard Liuyun say this, she couldn't help but show curiosity on her face.
"Of course, I'm telling you, there are still many things that happened to your senior brother!" Just as Liu Yun wanted to talk endlessly about Zhu Yuncheng's past, Zhu Yuncheng shouted, "Master!"
"Well, is there anything?" Liu Yun paused and looked at Zhu Yuncheng with a little dissatisfaction.
"Ahem, Master, eat, the food is getting cold." Zhu Yuncheng sat at the table, not caring about etiquette, but picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food, and said while eating: "Who made this food? It's delicious!"
"Senior brother, it's me." Gan Yu replied with a smile.
"Wow, I didn't expect that my good junior sister can cook?" Zhu Yuncheng said with a smile.
"Brother, I actually learned this from Master Kitchen God. Since the Demon God War began, you rarely smile, and you have been in seclusion for a lot longer than in previous years. So I want to take this opportunity of your 100th birthday to make you happier."
Zhu Yuncheng listened to Gan Yu's innocent and straightforward words, and felt touched. He reached out his hand and rubbed Gan Yu's little head and horns again: "Don't worry, Brother is fine. It's just that this is the first time I heard about such a war, and I feel a little worried. But with the Emperor here, our Guili will be safe."
Will it really be safe?
Zhu Yuncheng knew in his heart that this was impossible, but he couldn't tell the whole truth, otherwise it would definitely cause chaos, so he could only bury it deep in his heart and wait for the right opportunity to change.
"Really?" Ganyu was a little unconvinced.
Zhu Yuncheng nodded seriously: "Of course, Senior Brother, I am not troubled by the Demon God War at all. In one year, I have already eliminated your worries!"
Hearing this, Ganyu showed a happy smile on her face. She looked at the handsome face of her senior brother and moved her gaze upwards. But the scene she saw made Ganyu's heart tremble.
"Senior brother, close your eyes, I have a gift for you." Ganyu said in a low voice.
"Gift, you're not going to kiss me, are you?" Zhu Yuncheng showed a wicked smile on his face and closed his eyes.
Liu Yun saw Gan Yu suddenly approach Zhu Yuncheng, then reached out and grabbed a strand of his hair, and with a gentle pull, pulled the strand of hair off.
"Hmm?" Just when Liu Yun looked at the beautiful hair in Ganyu's hand with curiosity, his body suddenly trembled.
Hidden among those shiny black hairs, there is a gray, dry hair. It is so conspicuous that it covers all the other black hairs.
"Hiss!" Zhu Yuncheng opened his eyes and bared his teeth, "Is this the gift you said you would give to Brother?"
Ganyu nodded, then quickly used the power of ice element to shatter the strand of hair.
Zhu Yuncheng pinched her face angrily, then continued to pick up food and eat.
Ganyu also started eating, but she and Liuyun looked a little unhappy.
After eating, Zhu Yuncheng used the excuse of going to the toilet, but actually went to the roof of the Human King Palace. Looking at the brightly lit Guili City outside, a bitter smile appeared on his face: "Ganyu, you still underestimated my brother."
After practicing till now, Zhu Yuncheng has awakened the power of spiritual consciousness similar to that in the Shenzhou cultivation culture. He can resonate with the yin and yang forces within a range of one hundred meters and use them to know everything that happens.
Zhu Yuncheng saw Gan Yu's movements clearly just now, and also saw the white hair hidden among her black hair.
"I am old after all."
He sighed, and there was a gleam in his eyes, not sure if it was tears or something else.
