Chapter One Little Girl

  The dim white fluorescent lamp on the ceiling swayed back and forth, its light flickering on and off, while the humming of the electricity still echoed from time to time.

  The pungent smell of burning leather filled the living room with a thick haze, making people cough uncontrollably.

  The sofa was burnt to a skeleton, and the slightly moving blackened fabric strips were crumbling into dust. The dark wooden frame was exposed, and the springs that had lost their compression and support were bouncing up and down.

  Li Luyu was still lying on the sofa, suddenly turning into a black person... He, from Africa, is a black man.

  His hair was burned to a crisp, his scalp was covered with fragments of black ash, fortunately his eyebrows were still intact, but the clothes on his body had all turned into strips of cloth hanging from him, and his basketball shoes that he had worn for more than three years finally completely fell apart, the soles melted away, revealing several toes that looked exceptionally white.

  Li Luoyu couldn't understand his situation at the moment, but he felt a sharp pain in his buttocks as if they were being pinched by springs. He jumped up and felt a burning sensation all over his body, but it made him very clear that he hadn't suffered any serious injuries. His movement of jumping up just now didn't have any stiffness, and he was still full of energy.

  "This is what the indigenous people should look like." Annan Xiu stood in front of the sofa, still with a very irritable temper, glaring at Li Luyu.

  "My god..." Li Luyu realized he might have misunderstood An Nanxiu, she didn't mean to kill herself, but now he couldn't care less about apologizing to her, the whole room was already in shambles.

  The sofa was completely ruined, the TV, set-top box, refrigerator... He rushed into the kitchen, microwave oven, electric high-pressure pot, and electromagnetic stove were all smoking.

  Li Luoyu pushed open the door to his bedroom with a desperate mood, and as expected, his beloved computer that he had worked hard to save up for in Computer City was also broken.

  "Ann! Show!" Li Luyu almost screamed as he rushed out, never mind the others, but all the movies, pictures, comics and materials he had collected over the years were destroyed like this.

  "Oh no, the popsicle has melted."

  Ann opened the refrigerator door and said with a sigh of regret.

  "Ice stick... ice stick..." Li Luyu was so angry that he was trembling, "An Nanxiu, you get back here right now, immediately this instant!"

  "Aren't you surprised that all these things have gone bad, but you're still fine?" Annan Xiu looked at Li Luyu, who was getting more and more furious, yet his mood was becoming increasingly pleasant, with an expression on his face that was as calm and carefree as a gentle breeze.

  "What's so good about this?" Li Luyu was provoked by this little girl to the point of being a human bomb, ready to explode.

  "Dull."

  Li Luyu looked at the little girl's disdainful expression and gradually calmed down. Ah, how come he was fine? His clothes were all tattered, but his body didn't have a single wound. The burning pain that had been uncomfortable just now had completely recovered to normal.

  Li Rou lowered his head to examine himself, and soon discovered other differences. He originally had four abdominal muscles, but now it seemed like he had doubled that number. His chest was bulging, becoming a man with abs, not to mention the muscle lines on his arms and thighs.

  This body seemed to be out of his control, and Li Luyu involuntarily directed himself to make a few movements, but his body was completely under his own control.

  This line of sight seems a bit off, he was originally tall, now he's even taller by several centimeters, looking down at Annan Xiu, the little girl looks even smaller.

  He could feel his body filled with strength, and every move he made was capable of unleashing a power that he dared not imagine in his daily life.

  "What...what's going on?" Li Luyu was both shocked and delighted, as any male animal would yearn to have a stronger physique, but Li Luyu's situation was too bizarre, making him unable to feel at ease with his joy.

  "Hmph." An Nanxiu didn't bother explaining to him.

  "Was it because of the candy?" Li Rouyou said somewhat awkwardly, earlier he had unceremoniously pressed her onto the sofa and spanked her, this was a bit too violent towards a little girl.

  Annan Xiu ignored him and ran to the balcony to breathe in some fresh air. This room really isn't a place for humans to stay.

  Li Rouyou followed him in the past, who made him lose his temper and misunderstood others.

  "Actually... when I got angry, you could have fought back at that time..." Li Luyu said with a smile.

  "At that time, the elixir was transforming your body, and my attack on you would have been unbearable, causing unpredictable harm." An Nan Xiu's eyebrows rose, her cheeks flushing red, as if Li Luoyu had said she had voluntarily let him spank her. "However, don't think I suffered for your sake, you're just still somewhat useful to me, this debt will be remembered!"

  "Tell me beforehand..."

  Li Luyu thought Annanxiu was also wrong, she just wanted to see Li Luyu suffer and be afraid, she never thought that Li Luyu, this native, would dare to throw her, the eldest princess of the Annan royal family, on the sofa like a sandbag, and even spank her butt.

  If this matter were to be spread back to the imperial family of Annan, how could she still maintain her dignity as the eldest princess? Annan Xiu had made up her mind and was determined not to let Li Luyu come into contact with other people in the Tianyun Divine Realm.

  "This is the second greatest insult I've received, just you wait." Annan Xiu's small face still had a lingering flush of shame and anger, her teeth itching.

  "What's the first big thing?" Li Lu asked curiously, seeing An Nanxiu holding a flashlight, and quickly changed the subject: "Let's go out for dinner, I'll take you to eat something delicious today."

  The room was temporarily uninhabitable, so Li Luyu hastily washed up and took Annanxiu to a nearby Western restaurant for a luxurious treat. For such a long time, Li Luyu felt that he had already been very generous and helpful to Annanxiu, who was hostile to the earth, without thinking about being a good host until today when he decided to entertain her properly for once.

  Ann looked at the menu and ordered, while Li Rouyou didn't have much thought on eating, and asked in a low voice: "What exactly is this food you're giving me?"

  "Longevity fruit."

  "Ah, can eating it really make one immortal?" With Andongnan Xiu by his side, Li Rouyou dared to think of anything. The Tianyun Divine Realm was undoubtedly a mythological world in his eyes, and since it was a mythological world, having something that granted immortality upon consumption wasn't unusual at all.

  "No way." An Nan shot him a white glance.

  "What's the point of that, and it's still called this name?" Li Luyu was greatly disappointed. He was afraid of death, thinking that the world is so beautiful, after dying, he would close his eyes forever, even until the universe collapses, there would be no more perception, just thinking about it is terrifying.

  "The Longevity Fruit is a medicinal pill refined from the shell of the Life Fruit, which has great benefits for strengthening the body and indeed has the effect of prolonging life. In the Tianyun Divine Realm, the lifespan of ordinary people ranges from 300 to 500 years, while that of the imperial family exceeds 1,000 years, all due to the consumption of Longevity Fruits." An Nan Xiu said somewhat impatiently, as if the Longevity Fruit was not worth mentioning.

  "Is it really that effective with just one pill? Why do the royal family live longer?" Li Luoyu said in disbelief, could he also live for hundreds of years now?

  "Our royal family was born on a life tree, and the life fruit that grows on this life tree is more powerful after being refined into an elixir of longevity. That's why our lifespan is longer. The one you ate is just that, but because you don't have a royal identity, eating it will only make your physical quality far surpass others in this world, and the effect of prolonging your lifespan will be reduced. The efficacy won't be fully utilized, but it will accumulate in your body, enough to let you live for over 300 years." An Nan Xiu waved her hand, indicating that Li Luoyu shouldn't disturb her while she ordered food, "They all look delicious."

  "Would you mind giving me another one of those Longevity Fruits?" Li Luyu wasn't the kind of person who liked to ask others for things, and he felt a bit embarrassed asking, but he couldn't help it. Something that could let someone live to be 300 years old was enough to make anyone's heart skip a beat with excitement. Li Luyu wanted another one, but not for himself; he didn't even have time to savor the joy of being able to live for 300 years.

  "After you've fully absorbed the effects of this Longevity Fruit, I'll consider whether to give it to you again..." An Nanxiu said, then suddenly remembered that he had just insulted himself, and now was promising to give him another Longevity Fruit. Wouldn't that make him think that An Nanxiu was being too kind to him? An Nanxiu hastily added: "I'm giving you the Longevity Fruit solely for your convenience in performing your duties as a servant."

  Annan Xiu glanced at Li Luyu, his eyes filled with a lot of delight and gratitude, and he couldn't help but hum a sound, no wonder, one Long Life Fruit had bought him over.

  Li Luyu thought to herself, it seems that in the future, she will have to try harder to please An Nanxiu. No wonder she is the princess of Tianyun God Realm, with so many good things... But where did these things come from? The first time she saw her, both hands were empty, and the palace dress she wore had no pockets, but apart from clothes, she also had what seemed to be more than one Longevity Fruit. Where did she put all these things?

  Li Ruyu stopped asking and despite the tense atmosphere, still ordered a dessert for Annan Xiu.

  Lee Road was eating spaghetti, a small portion, three or two mouthfuls and it was finished. He sat there savoring the changes in his body, amazingly able to easily bend and straighten the dinner knife and fork.

  "Immature." An Nanxiu snorted disdainfully and cut a piece of beef, eating it in small bites.

  "When I first came to the Western restaurant, the knife and fork clinked on the plate." Li Luyu patted his horse's buttocks. An Nanxiu was in a Western restaurant for the first time, but she didn't feel awkward or uncomfortable at all. She just glanced around casually and grasped the basic dining etiquette by herself.

  "It's not like I'm you." An Nanxiu thought it was a matter of course that eating anywhere and making loud noises was impolite.

  "Is it delicious?"

  "Tastes better than what you made, come back often." Annanxiu had completely lost her appetite for the things Li Luyu made.

  "Alright, come often." Li Luoyu smiled somewhat awkwardly. Alas, for the sake of the Longevity Fruit, he had to serve her well. But he also had to think of ways to make money again, and didn't know if the things in the house could be repaired; otherwise, it would cost a lot of money again - sofa, refrigerator, TV, microwave... If he were to do tutoring, how many years and months would it take? Li Luoyu was worried to no end.

  No scheduled posting function was found. I'm still getting familiar with the various functions in the website's backend, so there won't be any featured posts this week. Red fruit is a newcomer after all! I'll make it up to you guys next week.

  Come on, old comrades, continue to work hard to occupy the new bar, the management team of Tieba is really boring, don't know what they are auditing.

  There is still one more watch at night.
