Chapter 151 The future
The Continent of Kings is not an ancient world that actually existed in history. Even Wang Yao still does not know its origin, location, and history. But as a typical traditional agricultural society, the people of this alien world also have extremely deep feelings for the land under their feet.

As one of the major festivals for worshiping the god of land, the scale of the community day is naturally unprecedentedly grand.

At this time, the night was deep and darkness enveloped the vast land, but the hundreds of streets crisscrossing the huge city of Jingzhou were brightly lit and crowded with people.

Young girls in their prime dressed up and put on beautiful makeup to watch the fun, while children chased each other and played happily on the streets. In the larger open spaces, there were lion and dragon dances, and juggling performances. Even the soldiers in the legion gathered in groups of two or three, drinking and laughing.

The city of Jingzhou, which should have been quiet in the past, was now bustling with people.

People take advantage of the festival to revel, thank the land god for his past care, and pray for more blessings and good harvests in the remaining days.

Yuan Haowen, a poet of the Jin Dynasty, wrote a poem, "Everywhere I see people in fine clothes and gorgeous makeup, the six streets are full of lights and children are noisy." It is most appropriate to use it here.

However, although the sacrificial banquet in the other world was grand and magnificent, Wang Yao, who was not interested in the banquet, had no intention of watching it. Instead, Luna was very interested and took Wang Yao along the way, wandering around various lively spots without any sign of being tired.

No matter in which world, girls' love for shopping is an unchangeable nature.

In fact, running out to participate in the sacrifice was just an excuse for Wang Yao to avoid Huang Zhong's supervision and have a chance to be alone with Luna. But it was obvious that Luna, who had always been slow, did not realize Wang Yao's real intention. She had a lot of fun as soon as she left the house. In desperation, Wang Yao had to bite the bullet and follow this little girl to visit the most lively place in Jingzhou more than three times.

In this way, until the night deepened, Luna finally stopped with satisfaction after being tempted by a cup of "Limu Keshui" that Wang Yao bought from a roadside stall.

"Limu" ​​means lemon, and the so-called "Limu thirsty water" is actually a special iced lemon drink. Although there is no high technology in the King's Continent, food is the most important thing for the people. Wang Yao saw a lot of iced drinks like this, as well as ice jars used for freezing, along the way.

At this time, after strolling around for a night, Luna seemed to be thirsty. She just drank her drink, her beautiful eyes full of joy and satisfaction.

Smelling the faint and charming body fragrance of the girl, Wang Yao couldn't help but joked: "Looking at you, you look like a young lady who has lived in seclusion for a long time and rarely goes out for a walk."

"We have to train on weekdays, and such a grand festival doesn't happen every day." Luna held the thirsty water, and laughed with bright eyes and white teeth. After a pause, a trace of guilt appeared on her pretty face with skin as white as snow: "I wonder how uncle is doing at home?"

"He should still be busy mopping the floor." Thinking of the old man who was tricked into doing housework at home, Wang Yao couldn't help but reveal a smug smile at the corner of his mouth.

So what if he's a hero? Isn't he still outsmarted by him?
Seeing Wang Yao's smug smile, Luna couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and said coquettishly, "You are the one who has the most bad ideas. This is the first time I've lied to my uncle since I was a child."

Wang Yao immediately said depressedly: "Who told me that my uncle is always on guard against me like a wolf? I can't even touch you. We live under the same roof, how can I eat you?"

"You are a wolf, aren't you?" Seeing Wang Yao's aggrieved face, and thinking of his usual hard-working and forbearing appearance, Luna couldn't help but burst out laughing. But suddenly, as if she came to her senses, she puffed up her cute little cheeks and asked, "From what you said, you don't really want to take me out shopping?"

"Yes!" Wang Yao nodded as if it was a matter of course. In the canyon battlefield, he could be hypocritical and cunning, and could use tricks to deceive enemy heroes, but he was unwilling to lie to the girl next to him.

Luna didn't expect Wang Yao to be so frank. She originally wanted to embarrass him, but ended up blushing. She lowered her head and said angrily, "Why didn't I realize you were so shameless before?"

Under the street lights, the girl's pretty face looked as delicate and beautiful as a ripe peach.

Before they knew it, it was late at night. The carnival party was over, and the drunk people supported each other and went home, chatting, laughing, or singing, but no one paid attention to a hero, a soldier, on the side of the road.

As Wang Yao walked, he said, "It's a pity that the salary in the army is too low. It's not enough to support my family. Otherwise, I really want to buy another house in Jingzhou City."

"Hey, someone still hasn't paid me back the 250 gold coins they owe me, how can I buy a house?" Luna held Wang Yao's arm, and made a cute face as if she was embarrassed and teasing him. Wang Yao turned around, touched the girl's head lovingly and tenderly, and smiled bitterly.

When did this girl learn to sabotage him so well?
There were no pedestrians on the night road. Only dim lights shone from the windows on both sides of the street. Other than that, it was silent.

"Ayao"

Halfway through the journey, Luna suddenly looked up and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

"In the future." Wang Yao raised his head and looked at the beautiful night sky dotted with stars. A smile appeared on his face. "After a while, when I am strong enough, I want to take you to travel around the continent, see the local customs and culture of various places, and travel around the mountains and rivers, okay?"

"Going outside?" Luna was stunned.

"Yes, the world is so big, I want to see it." At this point, Wang Yao turned his head and looked at the girl leaning on him tenderly: "After we travel around the continent, we will find a paradise, where there are simple folk customs, warm neighbors, no war, and no heroic soldiers. We can have a child and then spend the rest of our lives there peacefully."

"Little kid?" Luna's pretty face flushed, with a hint of shyness, but also a hint of yearning. But after a while, she seemed to suddenly remember something from the past, her body trembled slightly, and she responded in a daze, "Well, that kind of life is really good."

Wang Yao did not notice Luna's abnormality and just planned for a better future.

When you have earned enough gold coins and gathered all the equipment in the Canyon Battlefield, you can go to Zhuge Liang to resign, leave the Legion, leave Jingzhou, and go to the King's Continent to see the mountains, the water, and the sunlight shining on the branches.
When they returned to their residence, Wang Yao was very smart and did not enter the house with Luna. Even though Huang Zhong's IQ was slightly low, the old man was definitely not stupid. If Huang Zhong saw the two of them entering the house together, wouldn't that be a confession?

So, after Wang Yao let Luna in first, he waited outside for a full hour before pretending to walk into the house as if nothing had happened.

Huang Zhong sat alone in the brightly lit hall, still fiddling with his precious cannon.

"Uncle, I'm back." Wang Yao called out and walked into the house.

Huang Zhong raised his head, glanced at Wang Yao, and nodded, "Yes, I washed the dishes and mopped the floor."

Wang Yao was stunned. Huang Zhong’s reaction made him feel a little strange.

Logically speaking, this old man who boasts of being well-off all day long, who is a hero but has to help with housework at home, shouldn't he have a sullen face and be indifferent when they meet now?
Wang Yao didn't think much about it, and was afraid of saying too much, so he pretended to be nonchalant, looked around, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, uncle. By the way, where's Luna?"

"After she came back, she took a bath and went to the second floor to rest." Huang Zhong said patiently.

"Oh, I'm going to take a shower too. I'm really tired tonight and I want to rest early." After accompanying Luna for a whole night, even Wang Yao couldn't help feeling a little tired.

However, before Wang Yao took a few steps, Huang Zhong called him from behind.

"Wang Yao, wait a minute."

But Huang Zhong put his precious cannon aside and patted the chair beside him with his big hands.

"Come sit here, I have something to tell you."
