Light Fortress

The Spirit Network, known as【Deep Sea】 connected five continents as human civilization surged forward; yet, they were oblivious to the impending eternal night. With the Extraordinary Awakening, the edifice was about to collapse. Flesh is weak and pitiful, how could one ascend? The story began when Gu Shen, an ordinary youth, received a ruler that bore the truth. He peeled back the corner of this extraordinary world, becoming the largest moth among the thousands that dashed into the flames. If winter is coming, I will climb against the steps, overturn the thrones of kings, shatter the crowns of falsehood, destroy the scepters of injustice. I will become humanity's last, Bright Barrier.

Chapter 54: Dinner Party

Old Cheng Hotpot Restaurant.

This was an old hotpot place tucked away in a secluded alley of the Qinghe District, very popular and usually required reservations in advance. The second floor had an outdoor terrace where the evening breeze wafted the delicious scent of simmering broth.

Tonight, the terrace on the second floor had been booked by three young people.

"It smells so good——"p>

Zhong Wei took a deep breath and swallowed, "Where is that pot fragrance coming from? It smells amazing. I'm about to cry from the craving. How much longer until Xiao Gu arrives?"

Senior Sister Luo tapped him with her still-wrapped chopsticks, warning, "Just wait patiently. No one is allowed to start eating until Xiao Gu gets here."

Soon after.

The hotpot was served, a large chunk of butter melting over a thin layer of tea, slowly stewed on a low flame. The butter melted completely, releasing the slow and enticing aroma of Sichuan peppercorns bubbling away.
