Chapter 433 Lost, not worth taking back
"It was a beautiful countryside. In summer, the wheat was golden and the oats were green. Hay was piled up on the green pasture, and the duck eggs in the haystacks collapsed one by one. There was a largest egg but there was no movement... The duck eggs finally broke, and the little ducks grew up day by day, but other little ducks always had to stay away from him."
"It's too dark and ugly, unlike other ducks. People will be pointed at everywhere they go... Later, he left the peaceful and beautiful countryside and walked towards the jungle... One night, the ugly duckling saw a big white bird flying up from the forest. The ugly duckling had never seen such a beautiful thing before. It was shiny white, long and soft neck, elegant and noble, spreading its beautiful wings and flying towards the warm country..."
"Stop!" Xia Qianye stared at her and said, "Don't think I've never left the house much, just be fooled. Isn't this the story of the ugly duckling? What's the summary?"
"Haha! Since you have heard this story, the next thing will be easier to understand." Shen Lang laughed and said, "Actually, everything is very simple. An ugly duckling encountered a white swan. The only thing that is different from the fairy tale is that in the real world, it must be more realistic and cruel. The ugly duckling is really just an ugly duckling and should not be with the white swan, especially when the ugly duckling is injured, he is destined to be driven out of that warm country and abandoned by others."
Xia Qianye seemed to understand a little and asked curiously: "So the ugly duckling wants to turn into an eagle and fly back to prove her strength, and desperately trying to regain something she lost?"
Shen Lang laughed at himself, thinking of a woman like the Nine Heavens Goddess, thinking about his past unwillingness, and said relievedly: "No! He has no need to prove his strength to the white swan. Those lost are not worth taking back."
"Wouldn't you be unwilling to give up?" Xia Qianye asked again.
"Unwilling be willing? Why not be willing? During the process of growing up, some things always have to be lost, but not all the lost things need to be taken back. It's like a layer of shell removed by a cicada and a layer of skin shed by a giant python. Perhaps the transformation at a certain moment makes people feel very painful, so it makes people feel a little unwilling. But when this transformation is completed, who would want to experience the skin shed after many pains, or experience similar pain again?"
Shen Lang said these words calmly, no longer thinking about the things that passed away, but suddenly hugged the more cherished person in front of him: "What's more, I have met a better person."
"Hey! What do you want to do?" Xia Qianye was shocked by Shen Lang's sudden actions.
"Go to Guyang City to find the most luxurious restaurant, and then... love you very much." Shen Lang laughed.
"Go to you! I've been thinking about bullying me along the way." Xia Qianye let him hold her, with a blush on her face...
...
There are endless cars and horses in Guyang City, and there are endless pedestrians. In the most luxurious central area of the city, there is a building with a height of 19 stories. This building is called Songhe Tower, which is the highest-end and most luxurious restaurant in the city.
"Ah!!" An extremely exaggerated scream came from the Songhe Tower, and I wondered how many guests in the building were shocked. Xia Qianye looked at Shen Lang with a red face...
Well... Please don't get me wrong. This is not the sound that Xia Qianye makes when she is intimate with Shen Lang. In fact, Shen Lang was scared by the sky-high charging standards of Songhe Tower before he could open a luxurious room.
"It costs 500,000 spirit stones for one night! Are you wrong? This is too expensive! A black store is definitely a black store! Don't think I am a foreigner, so I can slaughter customers!" Shen Lang looked at the beautiful woman in purple in front of him and shouted in resentment.
What does it mean to have 500,000 yuan a night? I slept in bed for two nights without doing anything, and I lost my sleep with a top-grade spiritual weapon. Shen Lang originally felt that when he was in Qingyun Sect, he had blackmailed Zhao Tianba's grandsons a lot, and he had a full 14 million spirit stone in Qiankun's bag, so he was considered a little rich.
But all his belongings are not enough to live in Songhe Tower for a month...
"Young Master, don't be too excited." The girl named Linghua in the hall was quite polite and said to Shen Lang with a light polite look: "You don't know that you just ordered the most luxurious imperial palace in Songhe Tower. It has many exclusive services for emperors, and is specially tailored for people with status like you. The price has always been 500,000 spirit stones per night."
While saying these words, Qi Linghua looked at Xia Qianye with a meaningful look and continued: "It can be seen that Mr. Chen is a very identifiable person and loves his wife very much. He has been tired all the way, so he probably hopes that his wife can get a rest in a more comfortable environment, right?"
I have to say that this woman has a very good service attitude and is very polite. Even though Shen Lang said something just now, she didn't mind and still treated Shen Lang as a distinguished guest. This made Shen Lang quite satisfied.
Of course, the most important thing is that the woman's last words reached Shen Lang's heart.
He has always been casual and never had much requirements for accommodation. A few days ago, he lies on the stones at the Xia family every day. If he followed his previous habits and the stingy habit he developed since childhood, he would probably just slap his butt and leave, and find a place to deal with it for a night. He would never spend 500,000 to live in the imperial palace no matter what.
But this time he went out with Xia Qianye, so how could he let the eldest lady of the Xia family suffer from grievances when he sleeps in the open? Moreover, he is indeed a little tired along the way, so he should find a good place to rest.
"Oh! Are the big guys so extravagant?" Shen Lang sighed in his heart: "Okay, that's the only one extravagant today! The key is to be extravagant for his wife once, which is worth it."
However, just as Shen Lang was about to bleed and was once in the first time, a very harsh voice suddenly came.
"Haha, why don't you come to Songhe Tower if you don't have money?"
The people sitting in the hall drinking at the table looked at Shen Lang's poor appearance and couldn't help but laugh and mock him.
"Even if you come to Songhe Tower, you dare to say that you want to live in the most luxurious imperial palace in Songhe Tower. Can anyone live in it? Could it be that he thought this was a broken inn in a remote countryside?"
"Broken Inn?" A rich young man in white with a folding fan in his hand smiled and said, "For the sake of the legendary incident, in the past few days, I don't know how many righteous sects and even people from all walks south, and most of them will pass by Guyang City. Therefore, the rooms in the Broken Inn have all increased by ten times. Looking at the boy's poor appearance who has never seen the world, I am afraid that even the Broken Inn can't afford to live in the Broken Inn."
"Well, Mr. Murong said it well. Judging from the boy's shocking appearance just now, you know that he is poor. However, the girl beside him is the best, why did he follow him blindly?" As he said these words, the monk in black sipped his wine again. His eyes, which were flushed with wine, stared at Xia Qianye without blinking.
The other monks also focused on Xia Qianye at this time.
"Yes! It's indeed a beauty in the human world. I can play with those beautiful and straight legs for a year. If I were in the lump of Sishui City, I would definitely get her."
"So what if this is not Sishui City? It doesn't matter if you pick up girls." The monk in black didn't care about Shen Lang's presence, and whistled and hooked his fingers and provoked at Xia Qianye: "Hey girl! Your man can't afford to live in Songhe Tower. Why not come to us? The uncle will take you to stay here. Keep it tonight to make you happy."
Listening to these dirty words, Xia Qianye frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy. However, Shen Lang sneered and walked directly towards the monk in black.
