Chapter 286: Reunion
Wei Huo stared at Lu Qiqi, and she stared back at him.
The strong wind howled in the sky. Lu Qiqi’s long black hair and light blue clothes were blown by the wind. There was a crown made of gold on her forehead. The front part of the crown looked like a trident, and there was a gem embedded in each of the three protrusions. They were pomegranate red, agate green, and crystal blue respectively.
She was high and mighty, her expression was as calm as water, and there was almost no emotion in her eyes. She was nearly no different from that artificial being hundreds of years ago. However, she was a little less immature now and emitted the aura of time.
The golden armor looked at the two of them from afar and mumbled in its heart, So they know each other? It doesn’t seem like they’re very familiar, though!
Time flew by, and so did the emotions evoked when youth no longer existed. A hundred years later, Wei Huo and Lu Qiqi met again. However, the touching reunion that he had imagined did not happen. On the contrary, everything would return to normal after a long time.
Time would always erase everything. If the Legendary event had not been triggered, the two of them might have brushed past each other and without even looking back. However, now that the Legendary event had been triggered, the Black Dragon Monarch had appeared. The two of them stood together again, but those hundreds of years could not be reversed.
Lu Qiqi looked at Wei Huo and answered his question. “I’m Lu Qiqi, the Black Dragon Monarch.”
After saying that, she waved her hand and endless dark clouds shrouded the sky. Soon, a dragon’s roar echoed in the capital of England. The Prime Minister, who was trapped in his residence, soared into the sky and turned into a Black Dragon that covered the sky. Behind him were eight Epic-ranked Wyverns.
The golden armor said in shock, “Old Prime Minister, you’re the Black Dragon Monarch’s subordinate?”
The Prime Minister Black Dragon flew to Lu Qiqi’s side and lowered his head before saying, “My Monarch, do you want me to destroy this noisy armor?”
The golden armor rushed over and kicked the head of the Prime Minister Black Dragon. “Didn’t you see your Queen talking to Brother Huo? What happened?”
The Prime Minister Black Dragon was furious. He turned around and charged toward the golden armor. Unfortunately, the golden armor was more agile than him.
“Eat my 10,000 arrows!” the golden armor shouted. Countless embrasures appeared in the capital, and mini missiles were launched one after another.
The Black Dragon roared and lifted its head. It took a deep breath and spat dragon flames at the incoming missiles.
Boom! Countless missiles exploded. The residents of the palace were terrified.
The battle did not affect Wei Huo and Lu Qiqi at all, as the battle between the golden armor and the Prime Minister Black Dragon had attracted the attention of most people, making the atmosphere between Wei Huo and Lu Qiqi ease up.
Lu Qiqi finally took a step forward. She walked down from the sky step by step as if she was stepping on an invisible ladder.
Wei Huo waited quietly until Lu Qiqi stopped not too far away from him. The two of them stood on the ground. The battle between the two Legendary creatures in the sky had attracted everyone’s attention. No one was paying attention to the two people on the ground anymore.
No one knew if this was because both of them had a physique that was easily neglected.
Lu Qiqi arrived in front of Wei Huo. She glanced at him and extended her hand as if asking for something.
Wei Huo did not understand. The Death Book in front of him kept flipping pages. “What?” he asked.
Lu Qiqi said, “Didn’t you pick up my lost equipment?”
Wei Huo recalled that Lu Qiqi was talking about the bolt action rifle. He shook his head and said, “No.”
Lu Qiqi narrowed her eyes and looked at Wei Huo with a scrutinizing gaze. However, she then retracted her hand, as she believed that a Legendary creature like Wei Huo would not covet her bolt action rifle. However, she seemed a little angry. “Why didn’t you pick it up?” she asked.
Wei Huo thought about it and said, “Because I don’t know how to shoot.”
Lu Qiqi was speechless.
However, Wei Huo suddenly said, “You left a note saying that the time halt would only last for 300 years. What did that mean?”
Lu Qiqi lowered her head and thought about it. She then said, “I just wanted to trick you into returning to the Northern Continent.”
Wei Huo thought about it. It seemed like there was no other reason.
Meanwhile, the battle between the golden armor and the Prime Minister Black Dragon had gradually reached its climax. The golden armor had suffered a few losses because it was smaller than the Black Dragon, so it had suddenly grown dozens of times larger. It smashed the Black Dragon down to the ground with a punch, but because it had suddenly grown larger, the female First Knight slipped out of its body.
As soon as the female First Knight landed, she rushed into the capital. She was wearing tight clothes, and her voluptuous figure made many men’s eyes widen. However, she did not care. She rushed into her Knight’s residence and put on her spare armor. She immediately ordered the Knights on the way, “The Queen has returned. Soldiers, follow me out of the city to kill the enemy!”
Although her body was controlled by the golden armor, she still saw Lu Qiqi in the sky immediately. Then, she realized that Lu Qiqi was her Queen. She was the supreme existence who had built the capital of England.
She knew very well that she could only rely on the Queen to save the city. However, she had neglected one thing. Lu Qiqi had arrived long ago and watched the show like Wei Huo. Perhaps to them, the capital of England was just an ant’s nest and everyone inside was only an ant. The golden armor and the Prime Minister Black Dragon were just flying ants. How could humans interfere in a battle between ants?
Now, Wei Huo and Lu Qiqi no longer cared about the capital. They walked southeast side by side. At that moment, the two of them were like the most ordinary people. They strolled under the setting sun and told each other stories about what they had experienced over the years.
Lu Qiqi said slowly, “I was a trace of Sister Chen Xuanyue’s consciousness. I was possessed by an artificial being named Number 677. I participated in the first game test and gradually recovered my memory during the test.”
Wei Huo did not ask any more questions after hearing that. Instead, he told her about his background. “I was just an ordinary person. For some reason, I was abandoned or neglected by my biological parents. Then, I was taken in by an extraordinary and powerful couple. However, when I was 19 years old, time stopped for all humans and I was neglected again.”
Lu Qiqi listened carefully. After she finished listening, she said, “Before the first test ended, I found a bug and used it to avoid being sent back. However, I still made a mistake and got seriously injured. In the end, you saved me. My memory was not fully recovered at the time.”
