The First Venerable of the Prosperous Age

He felt the wind blowing harder and harder in his ears, and the entire Zhexian Tower was rapidly rising. He was just hanging there, unable to even shout.

Just as he was about to be splattered with blood, a force suddenly appeared from behind and pulled him firmly back, stopping him steadily millimeters off the ground.

Before Lu Xiaosan could react, the mysterious force behind him lifted him to the height of a person again, then the force disappeared, and he fell down again.

After falling to the ground, the illness persisted, and he could only roll on the ground and convulse as he had during the day.

After a long while, his consciousness gradually returned. He slowly sat up, supporting his head as he began to recall.

In a daze, he couldn't figure out why he was still alive. He clearly felt like he had fallen to the ground, yet it also felt like he hadn't.

Lu Xiaosan shook his head vigorously, "Never mind, let's continue!"

So he got up, called back the prayer beads, and they flew straight upstairs as before.

Reaching the third-floor window, Lu Xiaosan exclaimed happily, "Alright, that's it! Stop...stop now!!"

The prayer beads not only didn't stop, but they also carried him further upwards.

Lu Xiaosan was extremely anxious. "Hey! Stop right now! I can't fly!"

Before I knew it, I saw the bright moon in the sky. There was no longer any obstruction around me, and I stopped directly on the top of the Immortal Pavilion.

Still shaken, Lu Xiaosan turned around abruptly and saw that Luocheng was ablaze with lights, its streets lined up in a neat and orderly fashion, with the Luo River flowing through the center. The entire city of Luocheng was now laid out before him.

Upon suddenly witnessing such a shocking scene, Lu Xiaosan was completely mesmerized.

"Did you come here specifically to enjoy the scenery?"

Lu Xiaosan suddenly turned around and saw a person lying on his side on the edge of the eaves behind him, facing north towards the imperial city, with his back to him. Judging from the voice alone, it was the landlord from earlier in the day.

Lu Xiaosan walked up, "I was wondering why we were on the roof, so you were holding the Blue Fluorescent Bead here... Ugh." He had only gone halfway when he was blasted away by a green light.

"I told you, don't come near me!"

"Damn you, I'll get you one day..." Lu Xiaosan had mentally beaten him a thousand times over. But in reality, he could only stand up silently, clutching his chest.

He shook his head, thinking, "I never expected this guy to be an early riser and night owl... Miscalculation, miscalculation."

"It's a pity we can't get this Blue Fluorescent Pearl today. Damn it, I'll come even later tomorrow and see who can outlast whom!"

Lu Xiaosan was about to go downstairs when she suddenly froze at the edge. "Oh no, how am I supposed to get down!"

He just stood there awkwardly, the atmosphere extremely awkward.

After a long silence, the poster broke the silence first, "Aren't you leaving yet? Are you still studying here? Are you planning to visit Li Longji tomorrow? Hiccup~" the poster said drunkenly.

Lu Xiaosan clapped his hands, "That's right, you... how did you know? I was planning to go."

Unable to find a reason, he could only continue to find a way to save face by going along with what the other person said. In reality, he didn't even know who Li Longji was.

The man shook his empty wine gourd and drunkenly said, "Well, since you plan to assassinate the emperor, then... well..."

"Don't just say that? I can't take you with me tomorrow. Let's wait until the next assassination attempt." Lu Xiaosan said smugly.

Seeing that the host didn't speak, Lu Xiaosan swallowed nervously, thinking, "What if this guy takes advantage of his drunkenness and dumps me in the palace?"

"Hey, say something already!" But the poster still didn't answer. After a while, a slow snoring sound came from the air.

"Going to sleep at this hour? Then I'll be half an hour late tomorrow!" Lu Xiaosan said happily.

He slapped his forehead again. "How stupid! I should just go and retrieve the Blue Fluorescent Bead and throw it on the ground."

He cautiously approached the building owner, but after only two steps, the green light flashed again, and the gust of wind struck once more, sending him flying once more.

Lu Xiaosan fell backward, enduring the pain as he shakily stood up, only to see a wine gourd flying towards him.

Lu Xiaosan subconsciously caught it, and then heard the host say, "Since you have so much energy, go and fill my wine gourd."

Lu Xiaosan twisted his neck and said in a provocative tone, "Are you pushing your luck? I never said I wasn't allowed to come to the backyard. You can come to the rooftop, but why can't I?"

The poster, emboldened by his drunkenness, smirked, "Hmph, you've broken your promise multiple times today. Punishing you is pointless. You might as well refill my wine gourd."

Lu Xiaosan was in the wrong after all, and finally had nothing to argue with.

The poster lazily sat up, stretched, and said, "Not only today, but from now on, whenever you break the rules, you must deliver the wine to me at this time every day."

Lu Xiaosan laughed instead of getting angry, "Okay, then you wait here, I'll bring you the wine right away."

The original poster added, "Hold on tight this time, or no one will save you if you fall again."

Lu Xiaosan, his face flushed with embarrassment, stared blankly at the ground floor. As long as Lan Yingzhu remained on the rooftop, he would never be able to get down.

The original poster quickly saw through him and mocked, "If you can't even get down a building, how are you going to kill the emperor?"

Lu Xiaosan shook his head and sighed bitterly, "Since I can't pour out my passion on the frontier battlefield, I'll just spend it here under the Peony Tower and become a romantic ghost."

With a "whoosh," he leaped down without hesitation.

When he was half an inch off the ground, his whole body was caught by green light.

Lu Xiaosan felt his heart pounding wildly and was overjoyed. "I bet this guy wouldn't let me die at the Immortal Pavilion, and sure enough, hahaha... Ugh!!"

Before he could finish speaking, the green light suddenly gained strength again, and strong winds rose all around. In the blink of an eye, he was back on the rooftop.

"If there's a next time, I'll make you pay," the poster warned Lu Xiaosan sternly, fueled by alcohol.

Before he could react, he was pushed down by the green light and slammed down hard.

This impact was much faster than a direct fall. This time, the green light stopped Lu Xiaosan when he was half a foot off the ground, and then stopped the impact, letting him fall back to the ground on his own.

He fell face-first, and by the time he regained consciousness, his swollen face was covered in blood.

He wiped the blood from his nose, cursed under his breath, and then carried the wine gourd to the kitchen.

Seeing that Chang'an was leaning against the door with his eyes closed and his breathing even, he figured he had fallen asleep while waiting for him.

"Aren't you afraid the wind will blow you to your death if you sleep here?!"

Lu Xiaosan carried him to the straw mat, and saw that he just smacked his lips, turned over, and fell into a deep sleep on the straw mat.

Taking advantage of this moment, Lu Xiaosan opened the gourd, took off his pants, and "Ah!" poured some hot urine into it.

The remaining wine was filled with the strongest-tasting liquor and shaken vigorously to mix it thoroughly and lower its temperature.

He sniffed the opening, and the aroma of wine had masked the smell of urine. Satisfied, he stuffed the gourd back in and said happily, "He only told me to fill it up, but he didn't say what to use to fill it up, hahaha."

He went to the backyard, and was about to shout and throw the wine when suddenly he was flashed with green light and sent to the rooftop along with the wine.

Lu Xiaosan was so shocked that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "Oh no, if he catches me this time, no one will take me down! What should I do? Should I tell or not?"

But he had no time to think about it anymore. He saw that the host had already opened the gourd and was ready to enjoy the fine wine.

Lu Xiaosan was both scared and excited. "Well, let's take it one step at a time. Maybe we can get away with it by taking advantage of his drunkenness, and maybe I can also settle my personal score while I'm at it, hehe."

Ning Konglou sniffed the bottle opening and looked troubled.

He slowly spoke, "Did you try it yourself?"

Lu Xiaosan boldly chimed in, "I took a bite."

"how do you feel?"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, Lu Xiaosan started making things up, "I removed most of the odor, but I left some. I think leaving some odor is the only way to tell that you're drinking... alcohol! Yes, alcohol!"

The original poster smiled approvingly and asked, "Did you intentionally keep it?"

Lu Xiaosan began to hesitate, "Oh no, did he find out or not?"

"Was it intentional or accidental?"

Hearing the poster ask again, Lu Xiaosan thought to himself, "Damn it, I'm already here, I might as well give up now!"

"Was it intentional or accidental?" The poster, drunk and somewhat impatient, asked.

"It was intentional!!" Lu Xiaosan said confidently, followed by a tactical lean back. He had never been so proud in his life.

Upon hearing this, the host was filled with awe and respectfully used green light to send him down.

Lu Xiaosan was instantly dumbfounded. "What's going on? Did he find out or not? Is he still going to drink it?"

With this question in mind, he tossed and turned on the straw mat, unable to fall asleep, his mind filled with the image of the landlord drinking his urine.

I may give up my life, but there are some things I absolutely cannot miss.

Thinking of this, he finally couldn't help but get up and return to the backyard.
