The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

Lu Shi was just meditating and hadn't fallen asleep, so when Lu Ci Yan made a slight noise, Lu Shi opened his eyes.

At this moment, Lu Ciyan looked rosy-cheeked and her lips were a healthy pink.

However, for some reason, Lu Ciyan looked a little silly.

I saw his originally lively big round eyes staring straight at me without blinking. He neither spoke nor moved. He just lay there quietly and obediently, like an exquisite and lovely porcelain doll.

It was Lu Shi who couldn't stand the burning gaze first and turned his eyes away. He asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Lu Ciyan pursed his lips slightly and shook his head gently in response, his eyes fixed on Lu Shi's face with particular concentration.

He looked a little different from usual. In the past, when Lu Ciyan was with the quiet Lu Shi, he always had endless things to say. Lu Shi would only respond when he was in a good mood, and the rest of the time he would just listen silently.

Although she had not spent a long time with Lu Ciyan, she had heard more or less about his good popularity.

In the original owner's memory, Lu Ciyan was also a lively person.

So Lu Shi was a little uncomfortable with the other party's silence today.

Perhaps it was the dream he had last night that made him feel a little lethargic today.

Thinking of this, Lu Shi couldn't help but wonder: "Why did you and Yan Yan break into the back mountain yesterday?"

Lu Ciyan slowly stood up, his eyes, as light as glass, fixed on Lu Shi from beginning to end, and he spoke softly, "Master gave me many treasures, I want to cook a meal for Master."

"I heard there's a thousand-year-old snow lotus in the back mountain. I think..."

At this point, Lu Ciyan was suddenly speechless.

Lu Shi looked at him with a smile on his face, and slowly finished what he had not finished.

"Want to pick some to cook for me?"

"Hmm..." Faced with Lu Shi's direct questioning, Lu Ciyan responded softly with an obviously lack of confidence.

In the end, he couldn't resist Lu Shi's indifferent gaze, so he slowly lowered his head and never dared to look up at Lu Shi again.

Not to mention that Lu Ciyan's cooking skills really ruined the thousand-year-old snow lotus. Even if he was a godly chef, was a treasure like the thousand-year-old snow lotus meant to be used for cooking!

Lu Ciyan also figured it out at this time.

At that time, he impulsively thought that since his master had given him so many treasures, his things in return should not be too shabby.

So he didn't think too much about it. At that time, he was thinking of causing some trouble for his master, and then pretending that he didn't mean it. Ignorance is not a crime, and his master wouldn't blame him too much.

But after last night, he no longer had the same thoughts about his master as before.

His life was saved by his master. If his master really had any ill intentions towards him, even if he had to pay with his life to repay the favor, it didn't seem like too much of a loss to him.

If he can live a good life for a few months or years before his death, then he can be considered to have made a profit.

"Ci Yan, the thousand-year-old snow lotus is used for alchemy, not for cooking."

A soft whisper echoed in my ears, accompanied by a faint sigh. But there was no trace of blame in it, only gentle admonitions like a spring breeze.

Lu Ciyan couldn't help but feel tears in his eyes and a little depressed in his heart, but not uncomfortable.

"Master, you are so kind."

It was not until this moment, when he completely let go of all his previous prejudices and stereotypes, that he realized that his master was really a good person and the best person he had ever met.

The area around his eyes gradually turned slightly red, and felt slightly hot.

He sniffed subconsciously and quickly buried his head deep in the soft quilt, causing Lu Shi to look at him a few more times.

She slowly pulled her hand out of Lu Ciyan's palm and gently covered his head, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No."

Lu Ciyan raised his head and clasped the hand on his head into his hand again, "I will help Master warm his hands."

"That's not necessary." Lu Shi responded calmly, his tone as calm as a windless lake.

She pulled her hand back, and then saw a hint of water in Lu Ciyan's eyes.

She couldn't help but pause slightly, and her originally cold voice softened involuntarily: "You should have a good rest today. If you need anything, please come to the cave to find me."

Seeing that Lu Ciyan clenched his fists and did not move, Lu Shi assumed that he had listened to his words and stood up and left the room.

However, she did not return to her cave, but found the system.

At this moment, the system was shaking its head and body like a drunken naughty boy.

From time to time, it would dip its long beak into the water to suck the cool spring water.

With each swallowing movement, its little head would shake up and down, and it looked a bit confused as if it had not yet fully sobered up after a hangover.

"You no longer consider me your master and are planning to change ownership?" Lu Shi looked at the system and said unhappily.

The system froze, and the last trace of confusion caused by the ghost grass completely dissipated. Its head turned 180 degrees and looked at Lu Shi, its eyes widening in horror.

"Su... host."

"How did you come?"

Lu Shi sneered and ran his hand along its feathers from time to time.

The system under her control felt its hair stand on end, and a chill instantly surged from its feet to the top of its head, and it couldn't help but tremble with fear.

"I asked you to look at Lu Ciyan, and this is how you look at him?"

"Don't you know the situation in the back mountain?"

"I know..." the system responded aggrievedly.

"If you knew that, why did you take him there?" Lu Shi's face finally turned cold.

"I think you are deliberately going against my mission."

"Oh my God!" The system's brain was worshiping her and wailing at Lu Shi in its mind.

"It's not that I don't want to persuade him, but I'm just a crane now. He doesn't understand what I say, so there's no way I can persuade him."

"You can't persuade me, won't you tell me?"

"It's not that you're so lukewarm towards him, thinking that all you want from him is for him to not die."

It has to be said that the system guessed Lu Shi’s thoughts at this moment.

She really thought so.

She saw through Lu Ciyan's troublesome nature at a glance, and what she hated most was trouble.

But the other party hadn't caused her much trouble so far, so she didn't show it so obviously. Unexpectedly, the system saw through it.

Considering that the system knew him so well, Lu Shi threw a few pills to it and his expression eased a lot.

The system immediately opened its mouth, grabbed the pill, and swallowed it all in one gulp.

Then he put on a flattering smile and said, "Host, I have eaten all the pills you gave me in the previous worlds. Can you give me a few more?"

Anyway, your world has more elixirs, and the quality is also excellent. The system said it has been greedy for a long time.

"You only remember to eat and not to be beaten." Lu Shi scolded it lightly, and then threw a bunch of pills to it from the storage bag.

But what the system said before does make sense.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Shi decided to let it practice well until it could speak human language before coming out.

So the system, which had just gained some benefits, was forced to retreat, and it didn't even get to see its other master for the last time. It was extremely heartbroken.

However, after it saw the benefits of the pills Lu Shi gave it, it no longer thought so.
