Chapter 115 He Forgot Himself
Chapter 115 He Forgot Himself
"Wuhu!"
Xu Heng carried two plates easily. The slime extended its tentacles, holding a bottle of red wine and two glasses. He walked quickly without worrying about dropping the "dishes".
He thought it was a genius idea to use his field to serve food.
Arriving at the door of the restaurant, I said politely, "Can you guys come in?"
There was no loud noise inside, and Xu Heng thought that they must have discussed the plan.
"Come in." Everyone in the restaurant said in unison.
Xu Heng felt relieved and said in his mind: "Julie, let me tell you, interests come first."
"Haha, yes, yes." Julie replied casually.
Xu Heng didn't notice Julie's strange tone, and without hesitation, he walked into the restaurant with the plate in his hand...
"Xu Heng, do you want to be a warrior or a mage?"
"Heng, are you willing to practice with me?"
But An Lingqing and Vivian stood up, one on each side of the dining table, and looked at him together and asked.
What's going on? You're not talking. Are you waiting for me?
"Xu Heng, you completed your mission very well this time. If you want to be a mage, I can take you to the Book of Time, where I can help you find your own magic. I have also completed my research and can teach you magic in person!"
"Heng, if you want to be a warrior and learn any weapon or any type of fighting style, I can find a suitable candidate for you from among my defeated soldiers. If it's about swords, I am now the world's number one swordsman. You can ask me to teach you whatever you want."
Seeing that Xu Heng seemed to hesitate and stood still, An Lingqing and Vivian quickly stated their respective advantages.
Vivian was actually unsure whether Xu Heng wanted to be a wizard, because Xu Heng's soul was very special. She had said before that he could only practice necromancy - she felt that this was probably the reason why Xu Heng seemed to be working so hard at Tianmen.
After testing, although I know that although An Lingqing is prone to promiscuity, it is not because she likes to take advantage, but simply has cognitive defects in love, and does not even have the concept of "love", so I can let Xu Heng choose with more confidence.
But psychologically, Vivian still felt uncomfortable. No matter how posing no threat in that regard, An Lingqing was still a woman after all! And she clearly had positive and abnormal feelings for Xu Heng.
But I can't be so selfish as to force Xu Heng to choose me - then I will be outdone by An Lingqing!
Now it depends on Xu Heng's intention.
In particular, in order to compete fairly with An Lingqing, Vivian also planned to use "True Words" - an advanced spell that can determine whether language and thoughts are consistent. It is also a very ancient spell learned from the old man of time.
"Xu Heng, you are so lucky! Not only do you have a soul master like me as your magic instructor, but you can also enjoy the resources of the world's number one warrior and the ultimate wizard with an invincible father. If it were someone else, it would be worth it even if it was just a dream. But such a great opportunity fell to a lazy guy like you. What a joke of fate~" Faced with such a magical scene, Julie couldn't help but sarcastically said in Xu Heng's mind.
This makes me jealous, okay!
"Hey, hey, don't be so mean to me. I've been activating the domain before, so you must be very tired. It's not that I'm lazy... By the way, what is the time study room that Vivian mentioned?" Xu Heng was nonchalant about it. So what if the opportunity was good? His desire to practice was not strong, not even half as strong as cooking.
It's like a person who doesn't like classical music gets a ticket to a concert by a top classical music orchestra. He will be happy and feel lucky, but will he be excited? No.
"The Book of Time is the magic book room of the old man who has lived for countless years. It contains almost all the magic in the world, including forbidden magic, and even lost magic in the past. Moreover, the Book of Time itself is a magical instrument. It is said that it can help anyone match the magic that suits him. Therefore, being able to enter the Book of Time is the dream of every magician!"
"Oh? Oh, I don't want to either. Tsk tsk, Julie, don't envy me. I'm not interested. If possible, I'll give it to you~"
"Xu Heng, why are you so naughty sometimes!" I really want to make you cry! Make you beg for mercy in ecstasy!
"What's wrong? Ble, ble, if you have the guts, remove the brand yourself and come and fight me~ Oh, I forgot, even if you remove it, your spells will be useless to me, and I'm still a remnant soul, ble~"
"Xu Heng, you really should learn sword skills from An Lingqing! You are really talented in sword skills, and you work really hard!"
"As the saying goes, if no one offends me, I will not offend the 'Sword'. Who told you to like to hurt me? It is not beneficial to hurt others and not benefit yourself. Do you understand?"
"..."Okay, I'll remember what you said today. From now on, I'll make it impossible for you to avoid the "Sword"!
The two demigods saw Xu Heng's sudden distraction as hesitation, which made them feel increasingly nervous.
He just pretended like this on purpose. Talking to Julie was just a coincidence. Otherwise, Xu Heng felt that he could not take care of An Lingqing's feelings. He also had to pave the way for the next performance.
Mage or warrior? Of course it's the mage. Warriors are too tiring! And it hurts... I can tolerate pain, but I'm not a pervert who likes pain...
Xu Heng's eyes lit up, and he came back to his senses and said, "I am deeply moved by the kindness you two adults have shown me. I am just sorry, Qing, thank you for your kindness. I want to become a mage. The master gave me a book on magic before, and I am very interested. I fought so hard in Tianmen, in fact, it was to accumulate experience in fighting with warriors... I am sorry to let you down..."
The judgment of the truth word is true!
Vivian breathed a sigh of relief at Xu Heng's decision, and a feeling of happiness surged in her heart, but she also felt guilty about fighting it.
He clearly wanted to learn so much, and when he arrived at Tianmen, he was working hard to become a mage...
"Well, okay, Heng will be a mage. From now on, just hide behind me and cast magic. If you want to accumulate experience, I can teach you the weaknesses and strengths of all types of fighters and find sparring partners for you." An Lingqing did not feel disappointed at all. Instead, she smiled happily and said.
"Qing, thank you, thank you so much for being so kind to me. I really have to call you Master..." Xu Heng smiled back and said gratefully. Then he came to the dining table, paused, and looked at Vivian: "Um... Sorry, Master, I didn't ask you if you agree..."
"It's okay, I agree! Since you want to learn magic so much, I will fulfill my promise and teach you well." Vivian said with her head held high, and then sat down gracefully with the attitude of a winner.
Every word of "Master" and every clear-cut question from Xu Heng now made her happier.
"Thank you, Master!" After expressing his gratitude to Vivian, Xu Heng moved forward, first bringing the steak to Vivian and bowing slightly.
Then he brought the steak to An Lingqing who was still standing and looking at him - she took it on her own initiative. Xu Heng did not behave so respectfully. He knew that An Lingqing didn't care and preferred him to be more normal, so he just smiled at her.
Heng is willing to call me Master... I'm happy... I'm Heng's Master, so we can be a family.
"Qing, please sit down. It's not easy to eat while standing." Xu Heng said in a low voice with a smile.
"Okay." An Lingqing nodded, and sat down as Xu Heng wished - she was happy to eat what Heng made.
Anyway, as long as both bosses are happy, that's good. Xu Heng sensed the emotions and felt at ease.
So, let’s hold the situation steady and let the show begin…
"Xu Heng, how do you think you are doing with the spell book I gave you earlier? Do you find it difficult? If it is difficult, then you don't need to learn it. This is not your problem. Go to the Book of Time later and find the magic that suits you. I will teach you properly."
Vivian, who had been standing nearby and watching Xu Heng and An Lingqing flirting with each other, couldn't help but speak.
As she expected, as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Heng turned around and walked up to her.
Because she knew very well that servants would not talk to their masters across the table, but would come closer to report - Xu Heng had always regarded himself as a servant when facing her before, so if she asked this question, he would definitely come over.
Little trick! Hehe!
"My lord, although it is difficult, I find it very interesting and do not want to let down the opportunity you gave me, so I have studied it for a month. I beg you to give me a chance to show my abilities and see how I am progressing and whether I can continue to learn." Xu Heng said humbly and cautiously.
"Oh? Okay." This aroused Vivian's interest.
Because although necromancy is generally easy to get started with, it is not possible for ordinary people to master even the most basic release and collection of death energy in about a month without a teacher.
And Xu Heng looked so confident that Vivian was curious about the extent to which he could go beyond his own capabilities.
Of course he was confident, but he was worried about how to bring up the matter naturally without being suspected and how to reasonably show his lack of confidence. But Vivian brought it up on her own initiative, so the stage was set and there was no need for further preparation. He could start his drama more directly.
While cooking in the kitchen, he asked Julie how he could act both reasonably and surprise Vivian that he did have a talent for learning necromancy.
Because he had indeed entered the soul system, the amount of dead energy in his body could not be concealed after all. Rather than possibly exposing it in the future and shocking Vivian into suspecting him, it would be better to give Vivian reasonable psychological preparation in advance.
In this way, he could practice in the Mage Tower in the future and continue to exchange Vivian's resources for it with good reason.
Moreover, finding suitable magic is a matter for the future. Even if he finds it, he may not have a direct teacher to teach him. He cannot practice Vivian's time and space spells because of the impurities in her soul.
Therefore, at the moment, the soul spells of Julie, a soul super boss, who can both practice and advise him, are the best solution for him, and it can enable him to protect himself faster.
But it had to be covered up with the great undead system. At the beginning, Vivian took all the soul-related books to study.
Therefore, this drama must be performed.
After receiving Vivian's instructions, Xu Heng frowned, raised his finger, condensed a small black air ball on it, and then bit his lip to let it dissipate.
Naturally, he looked nervously at Vivian, who had just finished watching his performance, with shock in her eyes, unable to suppress herself any longer.
"Master...is it okay for me to do this?" Xu Heng asked hesitantly.
"Yes! More than yes! Xu Heng! You made the right choice to become a wizard! In one month, without any guidance, you were able to do this just by reading the classics! Xu Heng! It seems that you have a good talent for necromancy! From this point of view, you also have the ability to comprehend! Before you find the right magic, it is no problem to practice necromancy! You can ask me any questions you have! Not bad! Very good!"
Vivian seemed to see a dusty but bright gem. She stood up and said excitedly, and happily touched Xu Heng's head when he returned to the Mage Tower, forgetting to change back into cat-man form with devil horns.
The kitten has made progress!
Xu Heng lowered his head obediently and let Vivian touch him - although he didn't know why Vivian liked to touch his head so much, but let her touch him as long as he was happy.
But when his horns were touched, he realized that he had not transformed!
Just as he was about to transform back in a hurry, he heard Vivian say softly: "Xu Heng, your horns are very beautiful. You don't need to transform in the Mage Tower in the future."
You are my family, so you don't need to pretend in front of me. Just being yourself is good enough.
"Yes." Xu Heng agreed.
But if I don’t change, I’ll feel awkward looking at myself in the mirror… Never mind, I’ll just not change…
When Weiwei's touch was enough, Xu Heng quickly stepped back and said, "Thank you for your approval, Master! Please continue your meal with Qing. I will not disturb you. Don't worry about me."
After hearing this, Vivian sat down and looked at An Lingqing, who had been watching their interaction, with a provocative look of a "victor" - Ha! Now you know who holds the sovereignty! I can touch the kitten whenever I want! He is willing to let me touch his head!
But then, An Lingqing looked at the steak in front of her and Xu Heng who had taken the initiative to stand behind her. Following her mood, under the blank gazes of Xu Heng and Vivian, she picked up the steak, picked up a chair, walked around the rectangular dining table, and came in front of Xu Heng.
He tilted his head slightly, looked into Xu Heng's eyes, and said puzzledly: "Why is Heng standing? Why doesn't Heng eat? Heng doesn't sit, Heng doesn't eat, and I don't want to sit or eat either."
As he spoke, An Lingqing put the chair behind Xu Heng, handed the steak in his hand straight to Xu Heng, and just stood there blankly, looking at Xu Heng.
Wait! Ah! I... An Lingqing! You...
Vivian, who was originally feeling smug, was so shocked by An Lingqing's actions that her scalp went numb.
Pure emotions, pure actions, sincere questions, the simplest logic and pure thoughts all express her care for Xu Heng.
Yes, why are you standing there while we are sitting, why are we eating but you are not?
Just learn, Vivian, she is much better than you, she is really too pure! Such sincerity and concern from the heart have nothing to do with winning or losing, it has already won without fighting! But Vivian, you came first, you still have an advantage! You can also learn!
Vivian had to comfort herself like this.
Obviously, she should have noticed it, and it was obviously unreasonable, but Vivian was used to it!
Now An Lingqing's pure behavior and expression towards Xu Heng directly exploded her, catching her off guard.
"Qing, it's okay, you're a guest..." Xu Heng felt warm in his heart, and was really moved by An Lingqing's behavior - what a good child!
Unlike those little brats who only know how to grab food...
Yeah, I wonder how those little brats are doing in Jincheng, whether they are behaving well... I need to find an opportunity and ask Vivian to let me go back and take a look...
The thought in a flash slowed down his speech. Before he could finish, Vivian's voice interrupted him:
"Xu Heng, sit down and eat with me. You are a member of the family. From now on, you can eat with me. You don't have to wait for me to finish eating before going back to eat."
Vivian raised her hand and immediately used the authority of the Mage Tower to transfer the meals that Xu Heng used to reserve for himself in the kitchen.
But her hand froze because nothing was transferred over, and Vivian realized that Xu Heng had not reserved any food for her.
He seemed to have forgotten himself.
Through the perception of the Mage Tower, there were no other ingredients in the kitchen. Xu Heng did not take long to cook. Vivian knew very well that there was no way he could have cooked a third portion and served the dish only after he had eaten it. Otherwise, the steak would easily get cold.
In other words, he didn't plan to eat it. He always left a portion for himself.
Why does the kitten not care about itself?
Is he in a hurry to make it for me and An Lingqing? Did we scare him today?
Feelings of guilt and pity reached new peaks.
