King of Centipedes 1257

or. After I ran out of the teaching building, I stood there for a while before my homeroom teacher jumped from the building.As for time, I have no suspicion.I can't help but wonder if that ugly monste...The construction of Miao Wangcheng is not as grand and magnificent as Wuwu Mountain City.

This place is more like a town built of hundreds of large houses stacked on top of each other, some roads are climbed by ladders inside wooden pavilions.

And everywhere there were "false" paths, sometimes climbing up a wooden ladder you'd find a platform attic that was habitable, like a maze.

Long Xiaoge just gave me an expression, I heigh-heigh-heehed for a long time looking for the way, before finally reaching the platform where he was just standing.

"I... I'm pregnant." I panted, "You guys really put the 'inner city' in inner city chaos."

"Then what do you want to do in the inner city" Long Xiaoge asked indifferently.

I noticed his hair grew longer, thinning out at the back and reaching down to his shoulders.

Long Xiaoge's bangs were already longer than usual, and with his slender and delicate appearance, this hairstyle gave him a strange, ethereal elegance.

"I'm just browsing around, stopping by to see you... What do you do all day here in this city Don't you get bored" I asked.

"... Used to it."

His words were a little heartbreaking. I licked my lips and asked, "Is there somewhere we can talk My legs are starting to ache from standing."

Long Xiaoge let out a barely perceptible chuckle: “The two pregnant women who came to me, you are one, Mu Xia Qiao is another. She serves me much better than you.”

"What's wrong with me I'm not picky about food or lodging." I pouted.

"...but you're quite nimble." Long Ge shook his head. "Come with me, if you trip and fall, don't blame me."

"Am I the kind of person who would do this!" This is too much of a low blow…

To be honest, Long Xiaoge's place is... really hard to leave.

This mountain town is like a three-dimensional maze. He lives at the highest point, and I have to climb many narrow stairs to get to the next level.

Sometimes it feels like you have to walk through houses that belong to others, even though they are empty. Looking at those solitary pieces of furniture still gives you a sense of desolation, like you're trespassing.

"Have these houses ever been lived in" I asked casually.

Long Xiaogē answered without looking back, "Hmm."

"What kind of person are they All moved out to the town outside"

"The former royal relatives of the Miao King used to live here, but now there are none left." Long Xiao pushed open a wooden board lightly and walked upwards.

We arrived at the courtyard on top of the mountain. The buildings here looked much more imposing than those in the city below. Outside the courtyard were two watchtower-like corner towers, which served as the bell tower and drum tower for this place.

Here, on one side of the cliff, there is a large corridor with railings that allows you to look down at the ground and the homes on the opposite bank.

An old man was sitting in the main room. He nodded at us when he saw us.

I hurried forward and bowed, asking, "Excuse me, do you have any elders at home Why didn't you mention it earlier I came empty-handed, how embarrassing..."

"Come now, there's no need for formalities. Anyone who helps us is a guest." Brother Long waved his hand to the old man, who nodded and gestured for us to come in and sit.

This elderly gentleman doesn't look like Long Xiaoguo's relative, but the fact that he lives here suggests he holds a high position, perhaps an elder from Miao Wang City. The old man welcomed us in and asked us to take a seat, then Long Xiaoguo went off to make tea himself.

I winked at Brother Liang, and Brother Liang immediately patted his head: "I'll do it, I'll do it. This kind of serving people is still up to me. I've caused trouble for King Miao."

"It's fine." Long Xiaoge didn't think it was a big deal, and he didn't seem to have anyone serving him either.

His confidante was an older man who was in charge of affairs at a town outside the monastery. Although they frequently communicated, he couldn't always be by Long Xiaoge's side.

It's no wonder that even the Great Corpse King, who is buried deep in his tomb, worries about Long Xiao Ge's marriage.

Long Xiaoge is the kind of person who appears cold but has a warm heart. Although he is different from others, he doesn't seem to have any evil intentions or violent tendencies. Instead, he lives in solitude, guarding his ancestral home.

Logically speaking, his people were living comfortably and prosperously outside. But they were also citizens of Miao Wang City, everyone kept this secret in their hearts. Finding a wife wasn't difficult, was it It just meant living in a more remote location and having a more antiquated lifestyle

In the illusory world of the Reincarnation Pearl, I watch the sun and the moon. I just keep watching as the sun rises and the moon sets, not knowing how long I've been doing this, nor do I feel lonely enough to drive myself mad.

But that's also because I get to watch Mu Wanchen and the little baby, right

I couldn't help but reach up and touch my stomach.

Long Xiaoge saw it and said slowly, "Isn't it uncomfortable to climb too high"

"Hmph, this is nothing. I could even climb to the tomb of your great corpse king," He said with a sneer. "Those steep mountains are nothing compared to these stairs."

The elder, hearing this, turned his head slightly to look at Long Xiaogē. Long Xiaogē had an indifferent expression on his face. The elder smiled and, in a raspy voice, said to me, “It seems we are fated to meet…”

“Grandpa, I have no ill intentions. I've also paid my respects to your Great Corpse King. He was a truly great spiritual leader—powerful, majestic, and even after all these years, his mind is still sharp, he can discern right from wrong, and he's very kind to us younger generations. His magical powers are boundless, and his cultivation is profound!”

The old man was delighted by my praise, his wrinkles deepening with laughter as he nodded. "Only those destined can see... Over these years, I've met only a few outsiders. Both you and Mu Xia Qiao are good children..."

Mhm, I nodded and said a few polite pleasantries. It was time to have some tea to ease the awkwardness of the conversation.

Who knew the old man changed the subject and said, "Do you have any sisters in your family"

I almost choked on my water. I looked up at Long Xiaoge, his brows furrowed slightly as he said directly to me, "Today I'm treating you to a meal. Come on, let's see what you can and cannot eat."

"Uh I trailed after him, dumbstruck, towards the kitchen. I whispered all the way, "Does your grandfather worry about your marriage every day too"

"Getting old, only this thing can interest him," Long Ge replied impatiently. "What do you want from me"

“Uh…actually, it’s not a big deal…” I briefly told Mu Wanchen about my experiences with him lately: “I need to compile a list of names for those who have received identities. Brother Long, do you have an ID card I’ll add your name too, and we can apply together. While there are many people here, it won't be as noticeable if we apply together.”

"I don't care, anyway I have my own way of doing things when I go out."

"Well, one more identity means one more path, right Let's just get it done together now."

Long Xiaoge pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "Alright, but I want to change my alias."

"Suit yourself, just tell Ah Liang what you want to be called later. Grandpa wants one too, right Since we're all here together anyway, might as well get everyone who doesn't have an ID card processed. It's a rare opportunity."

Long Xiaoge nodded to indicate that he understood: “Do you have anything else”

"And also, I want to meet the Great Corpse King and ask him about ancient legends... about the King of Insects."

Long Xiaoge was taken aback for a moment, then sneered: "You're quite bold. Do you think the tomb of the Great Corpse King is somewhere you can just waltz into"t. I've given up on this issue."I have a little concern, but it's out of love for my dear friend... Besides, the person who should be concerned isn't me, it's his future wife. It all depends on which...
