Heavenly practice

"I don't know the two of you... Can you believe in reincarnation?" Long Xiang asked.

Both the Long couple were startled, but Mrs. Long smiled knowingly, "I believe it."

Long Xiao looked at his wife, and seemed to want to ask again, but was pinched by Mrs. Long, biting his mouth in pain, pretending to be okay, "Hey, let's go have dinner together."

Xuan Yu nodded his thanks.

Long Xiang paused for a while before he realized, and saluted the two of them.

Madam Long's eyes moved slightly, and she led the people to a seat in the back hall.

Long Xiang glanced at the dishes on the table, his eyes trembled, they were exactly the same as the ones he ate back then, but there were obviously some dishes that the couple didn't like, but in the past they were put on the table every day because of his hobbies.

"Eat." Madam Long's gentle voice sounded.

He looked up at the two of them and opened his mouth to say something, but found that his voice was already hoarse.

Madam Long's eyes were red for a moment, but she immediately smiled again, raised her hand to pick up some food for him, then stopped there abruptly, urging, "It's been a tough journey, I must be hungry, eat quickly."

"……Um."

Long Xiang responded, showing a smile, "It's been a long and difficult journey, but if you can taste these meals, you will have no regrets."

Madam Long hastily lowered her eyes, turned her head away and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

There was a moment of silence at the dinner table.

Long Xiang broke the silence with a smile, "When did you think of it?"

After a moment of silence, Long Xiao picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of bamboo shoot for him, "The moment you stepped into the threshold."

The tears in Madam Long's eyes burst completely, Long Xiao sighed, and took his wife into his arms.

The suppressed crying sounded one after another under the quiet roof here.

The sadness accumulated in Long Xiang's heart for thousands of years suddenly dissipated.

He got up and took a few steps back, flicking the hem of his clothes, then knelt down abruptly, knocking his head on the ground.

"The child is not filial, and has not been returned until today!"

"Boom!"

The bowls and chopsticks on the table clashed violently, Madam Long got up and hugged Long Xiang who was kneeling on the ground.

"Xiang'er...Xiang'er..."

"mother……"

"Snapped!"

"..."

Xuanyu looked at Madam Long with a dazed face and slapped her son hard with tears all over her face.

But Long Xiang didn't change his face at all, he still knelt there with shame on his eyes, "I know my mistake."

"Do you know how long your father and I have been waiting for you?"

Madam Long burst into tears, scolding her son while crying, "You little heartless, your mother almost gave birth to a son!"

Xuanyu: "..."

Long Xiang smiled, and raised his hand to wipe away her tears, "Then give birth, and I will have two sons to honor you in the future."

Madam Long wiped away her tears, gave him an angry "Pooh", then held his face and felt distressed, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Long Xiang replied with a smile.

Madam Long pursed her lips and shed tears again, and finally sighed, "I finally came back..."

"Okay, let's eat, it's all your favorite dishes."

Although Long Xiao was not as excited as Mrs. Long, he was very moved, and his tone of speech was very soft.

Long Xiang chuckled, and helped his mother up, "It's the first time I've heard my father be so gentle."

Long Xiao stared, "Boy, it seems like it's been too long since I've been beaten."

"You can't beat me up now, I'm an immortal." Madam Long raised her head, quite proudly.

Long Xiang looked slightly stagnant, glanced at Xuanyu, saw her shaking her head, then looked at his parents, "How much do you remember about Hengyang City?"

"I remember all of them."

Long Xiao looked at him calmly, "I will remember it until the day when the city was burned by fire."

Long Xiang's eyes became silent, "Including Shen Zhuo?"

"remember."

Long Xiao was silent for a moment, "I saw him once when I recovered from that day."

Long Xiang and Xuan Yu were both startled when they heard the words, Long Xiang immediately asked, "When?"

"About a thousand years ago."

Long Xiao looked at him deeply, "He said that only Hengyang City in the entire human world was created out of thin air by him, and every plant and tree here will not change until you step into the threshold of the City Lord's Mansion. Similarly, he and I This memory of the conversation also only comes back to me the moment you step on the threshold."

"..."

"This entire Hengyang City has been frozen for thousands of years. Everyone will be born, old, sick and die, but they will come back to life the next moment, and the entire Hengyang City will live again until you step in."

"..."

Long Xiang's eyes turned cold.

Xuanyu's heart skipped a beat, and she was very puzzled. Although Shen Zhuo's actions were for Long Xiang's sake, this behavior of arbitrarily manipulating the lives of people in a city was really disgusting, especially if these people belonged to Long Xiang. Relatives and neighbors, it is inevitable...

No, she suddenly figured it out.

Xuanyu sneered in her heart, thinking that Shen Zhuo did a good job in this matter, not only showing off his favor, but also creating a distance, quite a beautiful move.

It seems that this is determined to make Long Xiang give up. Could it be to prepare for his marriage with His Majesty?

She glanced at Long Xiang, the other's face was indeed a little colder, she was about to have a good time, when suddenly she heard a sentence from the side.

"Then parents should also know that he is not my uncle." Long Xiang said calmly.

"..."

Xuanyu laughed sarcastically, "Whether it's your uncle or not, it has nothing to do with you."

Madam Long looked puzzled, "What does this mean?"

Long Xiang glanced at Xuanyu, and answered his mother calmly, "It's nothing, she's hungry."

"hungry?"

"Yes, she talks nonsense when she's hungry."

"..."

Madam Long invited the girl in red to dinner with a look of surprise, and she was very enthusiastic because...

"You are the first woman Xiang'er brought home."

Xuanyu was happy to hear that, raised her eyebrows and glanced at the people around her, "Oh, is that so?"

"Yeah, I was worried that Xiang'er would not be able to find the woman he likes with such a temperament, but I didn't expect..." Mrs. Long covered her lips and laughed.

Long Xiang picked up the chopsticks calmly, "Because the person I like is a man."

Xuanyu: "..."

Long Xiao: "..."

Madam Long: "..."

Long Xiang took a bite of the food calmly, raised his eyes and said to the shocked parents, "You also recognize that person..."

Xuanyu kicked over, but the kick was in vain.

Long Xiang's figure disappeared and reappeared in an instant, he didn't even put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, his expression was very calm, "Eat."

Xuanyu was stunned, suppressing the churning emotions in her heart.

However, the Long couple was still immersed in the reality that their son suddenly became short-sleeved and could not recover.

It wasn't until the meal was finished that Mrs. Long came up to test it out, "Xiang'er, is the person you like Shen Zhuo?"

Long Xiang fell silent.

Madam Long knew that she had guessed right, and immediately sighed, "If you two really love each other..."

"No."

Long Xiang interrupted her, and said flatly, "He has someone he likes, and he will get married in a few days."

Madam Long was stunned, she didn't know how to comfort her son.

"All he gave me was just because he felt he owed me."

Long Xiang looked up at the City Lord's Mansion with an indifferent expression, "You even used your words to make me misunderstand him, just to make me alienate him, with such good intentions, how could I bother to pester him again."

Standing at the corner of the corridor outside, Xuanyu folded her arms and listened to these words, with a smile on her expressionless face.

That's right, she shouldn't underestimate this kid. The other party is no longer the brat he was back then. How can she not understand Shen Zhuo's meaning? It's just that she can't get close to the other party anyway, so it's better to just follow the other party's wishes.

She raised her head and let out a long sigh.

Someone came over, "Eavesdropping on other people's conversations should be low-key."

"Why, it's just a sigh, did I bother you?" She squinted at someone dissatisfied.

"It's not really disturbing, it's just a little strange that the witch of Santu Peak would feel sad alone." Long Xiang looked quite relaxed.

Xuanyu sneered, "Nonsense, of course my lord witch will not let others see such a weak appearance. Now that you have seen it, you will be silenced."

Long Xiang smiled and stood under the eaves looking at the sky above the City Lord's Mansion.

Xuanyu unconsciously curled the corners of her mouth, lazily leaning against the wall and looking at the sky above her head that belongs to the human world.
