Chapter 106

Ji Mingqing didn't know what Bai Cangze was so anxious about. Even Bai Cangze himself didn't know what he was so anxious about. He just wanted Ji Mingqing to become stronger and stronger.

There was clearly still unlimited time between the two of them, but every time Bai Cangze woke up in his dreams at midnight, he would feel inexplicably panicked.

Too weak, Bai Cangze always blurted out to himself when he was alone.

After saying this, Bai Cangze even felt a little ridiculous. He was weak? If he was weak, then the Three Realms, including the people in the Small World, would be filled with powerful individuals. Whether it was the ability to control immortal energy, or the use of immortal magic and weapons, Bai Cangze was confident that he was the best in the universe.

But it's still too weak.

"Practice hard, it will be useful to you sooner or later." Bai Cangze urged Ji Mingqing like this. The more Ji Mingqing listened to this, the more familiar it sounded to him.

"I understand..." Ji Mingqing seemed to be back in his senior year of high school. He could only follow Bai Cangze's words and practice with him obediently.

Due to the choice of martial arts, it is better for Ji Mingqing to practice in a place with many immortal plants in full growth period. The immortal field is a bonus for him. However, every time Ji Mingqing is exposed to the scorching sun, he can't control himself. He is sweating all over and breathing rapidly. You think that after becoming an immortal, you will no longer suffer from these pains that ordinary people have. As a result, although he doesn't sweat less during normal times, he sweats a lot during practice.

"You must be tired." Bai Cangze looked at Ji Mingqing, who was sweating profusely, and offered him a glass of cold plum drink with some heartache, but he couldn't bring himself to ask him to rest.

Ji Mingqing swallowed the plum drink in big gulps. The cool liquid with a hint of sweetness flowed down his throat, dispelling his heat.

"After I achieve mastery of my cultivation, I'll definitely have to live in the snowy mountains for ten or eight years. This lousy place is just too hot!"

Bai Cangze took out a handkerchief to wipe Ji Mingqing's sweat with concern. Ji Mingqing raised his head obediently and let Bai Cangze do what he wanted.

"I'll take out all the weapons I've prepared for you in a moment, and you can pick some." Bai Cangze said, "These weapons are all high-level, enough for you now."

"I have to discuss this with Boss Zhou later..."

"Choose first, then go." Before Ji Mingqing could finish, Bai Cangze interrupted. Bai Cangze knew that Ji Mingqing wanted to be lazy, but he would never back down in this regard. Ji Mingqing had to take time out for practice every day.

"Well then..." The despair in Ji Mingqing's tone inevitably made Bai Cangze feel distressed. He pulled her into his arms, patted her head, and said, "I'm sorry to have to work hard for you these days. I'll take you to the snow-capped mountains later."

Ji Mingqing nuzzled into Bai Cangze's shoulder and said, "I want to go somewhere with maple leaves."

Bai Cangze brought Ji Mingqing's request without saying a word, and Ji Mingqing felt a little relieved.

"Take out all your weapons and show them to me." Ji Mingqing calmed down and finally thought about the weapons Bai Cangze had prepared for him.

Bai Cangze brought the man to a shady place, then waved his hand casually, and more than ten kinds of weapons floated in front of him.

"I carefully selected all of these weapons from the armory. If you don't like them, we can go directly to the armory tomorrow and pick out a new batch."

Ji Mingqing raised his head. He stood under the shadow of the tree and looked at the weapons in front of him, all of which were shining in the sunlight.

Ji Mingqing glanced at it casually and pointed, "I want that one."

Bai Cangze looked in the direction of Ji Mingqing's finger, "You want that? That sword?"

Ji Mingqing nodded and replied, "Yes, I want that sword. It's so beautiful."

Bai Cangze's mind moved, and all weapons immediately disappeared, leaving only the sword. Ji Mingqing reached out to grab the sword, but the immortal ring was out of his control and circled around and landed in Bai Cangze's hand.

"Are you sure you want this sword?" Bai Cangze lowered his head, his eyes dim and unclear, and asked again in disbelief.

Ji Mingqing felt a little guilty after hearing Bai Cangze's question. "What's wrong with this sword? I don't want it anymore. Can you show me the others?"

Bai Cangze shook his head and handed the sword to Ji Mingqing.

This weapon was not carefully selected for him by Bai Cangze, but was the only one given to him by Hongmeng Treasure Tree. When Hongmeng Treasure Tree heard that Bai Cangze was going to choose a weapon for Ji Mingqing, it gave Ji Mingqing a sword.

Bai Cangze looked at the sword in his hand. The blade and the hilt were all made of wood. Bai Cangze tried it with his hand and found that the sword didn't even have a sharp edge.

"You want me to give this to Ji Mingqing?" Bai Cangze refused without a second thought, "This is neither a magical weapon nor a sharp weapon. It is of no help to Ji Mingqing right now. I will not give it to him."

The Hongmeng Treasure Tree shook its leaves and told him that it would be fine if Ji Mingqing didn't like it, but he still hoped that Bai Cangze could deliver the sword to Ji Mingqing, at least so that Ji Mingqing could take a look at it.

Bai Cangze couldn't refuse this request, so he nodded in agreement. However, he never took this matter to heart. He didn't expect that Ji Mingqing would only choose this ordinary-looking wooden sword among all the magical weapons.

"Are you sure you want this one?" Bai Cangze asked. If Ji Mingqing refused, he would immediately give all the other weapons to Ji Mingqing's soldiers.

"I want this one. I like it the moment I see it." Ji Mingqing leaned over and made a sword flower. "I feel like this one suits me. It's especially like the wooden sword that Taoist priests use when performing rituals. Swish~swish~"

Ji Mingqing danced twice towards Bai Cangze, and then burst into laughter for no reason. Bai Cangze was a little confused by Ji Mingqing's behavior, but seeing Ji Mingqing's inexplicable happiness, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

"Oh, after getting the weapons from your fairy world, they actually come with sword skills." Ji Mingqing said in surprise. A set of sword techniques suddenly appeared in his mind for no reason. He subconsciously followed the sword techniques, but as a result, he didn't pay attention and cut down a lot of trees beside him.

"Ouch!" Ji Mingqing took a step back in fright and bumped directly into Bai Cangze's arms. Bai Cangze took the opportunity to hold Ji Mingqing's waist and showed an incredible expression, which was rare.

"What are you doing..." Bai Cangze looked at Ji Mingqing, who still had his hands on his chest, with a look of surprise.

He turned Ji Mingqing around so that they were facing each other. When he wanted to ask something, he saw Ji Mingqing's frightened expression, so Bai Cangze rubbed his head first.

"Are you okay?"

Ji Mingqing came back to his senses and was immediately overjoyed. "This sword you gave me is amazing! I just waved it and a bunch of trees fell down! This one doesn't even have a blade. What would happen if it had a sharpened blade?"

Seeing Ji Mingqing recover, Bai Cangze smiled and flicked his forehead with his finger, "Don't think about anything else, I have something to ask you."

Ji Mingqing rubbed his head and asked with some confusion: "What's your problem?"

At this point, Lu Bai Cangze's face turned serious. "You mean after you got the sword, a sword technique appeared in your mind, right?"

Ji Mingqing shook his head, "No."

When Bai Cangze was about to make a judgment on this, Ji Mingqing spoke again: "It's a very long section of sword techniques, probably three or four thousand words, and there are also diagrams of various moves." Ji Mingqing picked up the sword. This time he didn't dare to inject fairy energy into the sword again, but just casually performed a few moves on Bai Cangze.

"It's roughly like this, with the movements and the formulas, just like a book appears in my mind." Ji Mingqing tilted his head and looked at Bai Cangze, "Is there anything wrong?"

Bai Cangze looked at Ji Mingqing's clueless eyes and said seriously, "Every immortal has his or her own weapon. Most of them are weapons, but there are also immortal artifacts like fans or silk that don't seem to have any offensive capabilities."

"But no matter what they choose, no one has ever said that after getting a weapon, the corresponding spell will appear in their mind. As far as I know, you are the first one."

"Huh?" Ji Mingqing didn't react. "Does the Immortal Realm have to report even this kind of thing to their superiors? Maybe after they got it, they also came up with a matching spell, but didn't tell you."

Bai Cangze put his hands behind his back and said firmly, "Absolutely impossible."

Ji Mingqing thought of Bai Cangze's reputation in the immortal world and lost his temper. He scratched his head and said puzzledly, "I don't know why. Anyway, I can do everything once I get it. I don't even feel like I need to practice." Ji Mingqing paused for a moment, "I think it might be muscle memory."

"Muscle memory...muscle memory..." Bai Cangze kept repeating this word in his mouth. He looked at Ji Mingqing's gradually lost expression and comforted him with a smile.

"Why do you look like that? Nothing's wrong. Maybe it's a gift from heaven. After all, you're the only immortal to ascend to heaven in a thousand years."

After listening to Bai Cangze's words, Ji Ming knew that Bai Cangze was trying to comfort him, but he still smiled and said, "That's true. Even you, the Lord, always want to give me gifts, don't you?"

Bai Cangze smiled and pulled Ji Mingqing into his arms, then gently kissed the top of his head. "Okay, we've almost finished practicing today, let's go to the inn."

Ji Mingqing nodded. He had just started to get excited about practicing, but when he saw Bai Cangze's expression was not right, he gave up the idea and thought it would be safer to deal with the big guys in business.

"You go in first." Bai Cangze did not transform into Xiaowan today, but instead sent Ji Mingqing to the door of the inn, "I'll pick you up in the evening."

Ji Mingqing nodded sensibly. He did not ask Bai Cangze what he was going to do. He knew that Bai Cangze must be going to investigate what had just happened to him. The two of them tacitly did not say anything.

After Ji Mingqing walked into the courtyard of the inn, he turned around and saw Bai Cangze still looking in his direction. He felt warm in his heart, then turned around and walked into the gate of the inn.

"What's wrong?" Huang Dingzhi looked at Ji Mingqing, who was in a bad mood and no longer had the fighting spirit to talk business with others as usual, and asked with concern.

Ji Mingqing shook his head and said, "I feel like I'm causing trouble for others."

Huang Dingzhi rubbed the head of the little lamb that had jumped on him and said, "Are you the same as me?"

Ji Mingqing looked up at him and asked in confusion, "What do you mean by the same as you?"

Huang Dingzhi said nonchalantly, "It's causing trouble for others. Am I not causing trouble for you right now? Can't you feel it? That's why I say we are destined to be good brothers."

After Huang Dingzhi finished speaking, he smiled and pushed Ji Mingqing's shoulder with his own. Ji Mingqing spread his hands helplessly and said, "The level of trouble we cause to others is different."

"Tell me, who did you cause trouble for that makes you care so much." After asking, Wang Dingzhi sat down on the ground and took out the fairy plant from the storage bag for the little fairy beast to eat.

Ji Mingqing followed him and sat down on the ground dejectedly. "He's my, uh... boyfriend? That means my future immortal partner. I feel like I've caused him quite a bit of trouble."

"Ah?" Huang Dingzhi immediately started gossiping. "You have a fairy partner? Who is it? Have I seen them before? Is they good-looking? Forget it, let's get together someday when we have time!"

Ji Mingqing looked at Huang Dingzhi who was suddenly excited and said helplessly, "Is that the point? The point is that I have caused them a lot of trouble, but I don't know how to solve it. Oh, I'm so worried!"

"What does it matter? You two will be one family sooner or later. We're one family, so we shouldn't talk behind each other's backs. Look, I cause trouble for my father every day, but I don't feel any psychological pressure at all."

"Dad and... forget it, I won't talk to you anymore." Ji Mingqing was pulling the grass beside him out of boredom. Huang Dingzhi kept asking, "Tell me what kind of immortal he is? What does he do in the immortal world? Does he have a palace? How did you two know each other? I haven't heard you talk about it these days."

"He has a palace, which is quite big, and he has a lot of subordinates. I met him by chance when I first came to the fairyland." After Ji Mingqing said this, he stood up and didn't want to talk to Huang Dingzhi anymore.

Huang Dingzhi's curiosity was aroused. He picked up the little fairy beast that was still biting his hair and trotted over to Ji Mingqing. "Just tell me, was he born in the fairyland or did he ascend from another small world? It can't be that Shaoyang, right? I've seen him smiling so happily these past few days."

"It's not him, it's not him." Ji Mingqing shook his head and said, "If there's a chance in a couple of days, I'll take you to see him. I'm a little busy today, so I'll leave first."

Huang Dingzhi looked at Ji Mingqing's fleeing back and wanted to follow him to ask more questions, but then he thought that this might backfire. Young Master Huang was rarely considerate.

"Let's ask him in a couple of days. Let's observe him for the next two days. If he doesn't want to talk, maybe we can catch him in the act. Isn't that right, Jiaojiao?"

The little lamb in Huang Dingzhi's arms ignored him and concentrated on biting Huang Dingzhi's hair, which made Huang Dingzhi a little annoyed.

"I've already given you the immortal plant to eat, so stop biting my hair!"

After leaving Huang Dingzhi, Ji Mingqing explored the fighting arena again. Seeing him coming, Lu Jiyao hurried to his side and hit his shoulder with a smile.

"Why haven't I seen you these past two days?"

"I've been a bit busy these past two days. How's the thing I asked you to help me with?"

Lu Jiyao patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I've got a pretty good idea of ​​who all the people who come here to participate in the competition are. That yellow-haired immortal over there is called Wang Qi, and his true form is a lion-tiger beast. The spirit beasts he breeds have extremely delicious meat, but they usually raise them at home and eat them themselves, never selling them to outsiders."

Ji Mingqing patted Lu Jiyao on the shoulder and said, "Thanks, brother."

The two exchanged glances, and Ji Mingqing approached the lion-tiger beast. "Hello, I'm Ji Mingqing, the owner of the inn. I'd like to ask for your feedback here. I wonder if I could take up a little of your time."

The lion-tiger looked Ji Mingqing up and down. Seeing that he posed no threat and that his match had not yet started, and that he was bored, he curled his lips and said, "Ask."

The start went smoothly and Ji Mingqing's confidence increased greatly.

"You look like a regular at the fighting arena, and you must be a perennial winner. I wonder if you have any suggestions for my opponent?"

Wang Qi was delighted to hear Ji Mingqing's subtle admiration for his fighting prowess. He raised his head and tossed his hair, "Not bad. They're a bit stronger than the immortals in other arenas, but they're barely worthy of being my opponents."

"I'm relieved to hear that. After all, we don't encounter many guests of your caliber." Ji Mingqing stood beside Wang Qi and flattered him softly, "But besides your hard work in daily training, you should also eat well. Ordinary immortal food can't achieve the effect you have."

"Perhaps you have taken some magic elixir? Can you recommend it to me? I need some exercise for my small body, and I would like to learn from you."

Wang Qi laughed heartily and said, "I never eat those elixirs. I rely entirely on the flesh and blood of the spirit beasts on my Ten Night Island. Only by eating fresh food and drinking fresh blood can I preserve the original flavor of the spirit beasts to the greatest extent!"

After Wang Qi finished speaking, he looked at Ji Mingqing's slightly dazed expression and laughed even more happily, "I was just kidding. Who still eats raw meat and drinks blood these days? That's what people from the demon world do."

"But your food is really delicious. Can I pry the chef away?"

Ji Mingqing immediately came back to his senses and smiled, "If you really like my food, you can book a room in the inn and stay there permanently. I can give you a preferential price that will satisfy you."

After hearing Ji Mingqing's formulaic answer, Wang Qi sighed and said, "Can't your recipe and my spirit beast appear in the same dish?"

Ji Mingqing was shocked. This guy was too cunning. If he didn't catch him, wouldn't this opportunity be wasted!

"If you need it, you can bring your own spirit beast meat and send it to the kitchen for processing, but it may take a while to queue up, after all, there are many customers who do this."

After being reminded, Wang Qi turned around and left, leaving behind a sentence, "Thank you!"

Ji Mingqing hurried to catch up, and Wang Qi turned around to look at him, "Is there anything else you need?"

Seeing that Wang Qi was a straightforward person, Ji Mingqing simply stated his purpose directly.

"Actually, I can tell from your stamina that the food you eat must be extraordinary, so I'd like to make a deal with you."

Wang Qi didn't even think about it and said, "No."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. Ji Mingqing hurriedly trotted after the ruthless Wang Qi, "Please listen to me first."

Wang Qi didn't even blink, but with a clear goal in mind, he found the staff of the inn and took out a large piece of bloody meat from his storage bag. He said to them, "You ask the chef to cook it for me. I live in room 12 on the 86th floor."

The man looked at Ji Mingqing, who gave him a look of agreement. Then Wang Qi's meat was taken to the kitchen. Ji Mingqing looked at Wang Qi with a slightly eager look and reminded him, "The kitchen has too much to do every day. Your dish may take about a week to finish."

After Ji Mingqing finished speaking, he saw Wang Qi swallowing hard. He thought, "How about this, listen to me for a few words, and I'll jump the queue for you. I guarantee you'll get a meal tonight."

Wang Qi immediately looked up at Ji Mingqing and asked with a hint of doubt, "Do you have the final say on this matter?"

Ji Mingqing said proudly: "I am the owner of this inn, I definitely have the final say."

Wang Qi thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, you can say whatever you want to say now."

Seeing that the surroundings were a bit noisy, Ji Mingqing suggested: "How about we go to the restaurant to eat? I'll treat you."

Who wouldn't know someone who has a free meal? Wang Xi immediately agreed to the two of them and came to the restaurant as quickly as possible. Wang Qi picked up the menu and ordered more than ten dishes. Seeing that Ji Mingqing remained calm, Wang Qi had a better impression of him.

"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?" Wang Qi asked casually.

Ji Mingqing sat up straight and answered seriously, "I'd like to discuss cooperation with you. You see, our chefs are skilled, but the spiritual beast meat we purchase is still a little lacking. So we've been looking for high-quality spiritual beast meat. I believe your spiritual beast meat will definitely meet our standards."

"How can you be sure that the spirit beast meat from my family will meet your standards?"

Ji Mingqing raised his eyes and said, "Your true form is a fairy beast, so you must have eaten countless spirit beasts. After eating them for so many years, the meat you still admire so highly must not be ordinary."

It was difficult for Ji Mingqing to say that it was Lu Jiyao who tipped him off and investigated behind the scenes. If he did so, Wang Qi might get even more angry.

Wang Qi slammed the table vigorously, "You have good taste!"

Ji Ming suppressed his thoughts and asked, "Would you like to take a look at the conditions we can offer for cooperation with you?"

Wang Qi shook his head. "No, it's not that I have to refuse. It's just that the people on our island don't have enough to eat. If we sell it to you, then the people on our island will have even less to eat. We absolutely cannot sell our own rations."

I see. However, this didn't bother Ji Mingqing. "You eat the spiritual beasts you raise at home to strengthen your body, right? If there were other ways to strengthen your body, would you be willing to try a different approach?"

Wang Qi became interested, "How do you say that?"

Ji Mingqing pulled out a box from his storage bag and pushed it towards Wang Qi. "Please open it and take a look. I'm going to trade this for spirit beast meat. What do you think?"

Wang Qi opened the box, wanting to see what Ji Mingqing could provide him that would allow him to be so arrogant. However, his eyes widened immediately after he opened the box.

"Are you planning to trade this for spirit beast meat?"

The box contained the jade carved from the immortal grass grown by Ji Mingqing. This kind of jade was of superior quality. Not to mention the meat of spiritual beasts, even if it was the meat of immortal beasts, as long as Ji Mingqing asked, Wang Qi would find a way to find it for him in exchange.

"Where did you get such high-quality jade?" Wang Qi asked curiously, lowering his voice. "Did you trade it with someone else?"

Ji Mingqing shook his head. "To be honest, I grew this myself after accidentally discovering a secret method of cultivation. The yield is not high, so if I wasn't really impressed by your immortal beast meat, I would never have traded it for this."

While Wang Qi was still thinking about it, more than a dozen dishes were slowly served on the table. Wang Qi picked up his chopsticks and took a bite, then exclaimed: "Is this made with the meat I just sent to the kitchen?"

Ji Mingqing nodded and said, "Indeed, I'm sorry. I asked them to prepare these dishes in advance. Consider that jade flower as my apology to Boss Wang."

Boss Wang? No one had ever called Wang Qi that before. Hearing this new name, Wang Qi suddenly felt a little moved.

"How are you going to exchange this...spiritual beast meat with us?"

Ji Mingqing took out the formation plate. "First of all, I want you to expand the scale of your breeding. After all, you can see that my inn has a lot of traffic. And the price I have in mind is ten kilograms of spirit beast meat for one jade flower. What do you think?"

He could not even finish two bites of ten pounds of meat before it was gone, and this could be exchanged for a high-quality jade. It was obvious that they made a profit.

"Okay! I'll go back and ask them to send the meat over. You can prepare the jade for me first."

"Wait a minute, I have something else I want to discuss with you." Ji Mingqing opened the array plate at this time, and the image of the commercial street appeared in front of the two of them.

"What is this?" Wang Qi narrowed his eyes. "You want to give me a house in exchange? I don't want a house, I just want the jade carving."

Ji Mingqing smiled and said, "That's not the case. I want you to open a shop here that specializes in selling spirit beast meat."

"No." Wang Qi refused without a second thought. Ji Mingqing then said, "Don't refuse just yet. Listen to me first. If I still haven't impressed you after you finish all the food on the table, our relationship will be scrapped."

Wang Qi thought about it and agreed.

Ji Mingqing spoke slowly, "I got the secret method of growing jade by chance, which allowed me to obtain high-grade jade. But as I have more jade, it is no longer as precious. This jade is not as valuable to me as it was when I first got it."

Ji Mingqing looked at Wang Qi with some worry, "I don't know if you have such troubles."

Wang Qi nodded immediately. "Yes, yes, of course I don't. When I was little, I grew up very fast eating spirit beast meat. Now I feel like I'm just used to it. Eating spirit beast meat from other places doesn't taste right. As for the bonus, that's not the case."

"That's why I want to open a commercial street so that every household can exchange their surplus immortal plants, immortal herbs, or spirit beast meat. This will also be beneficial to our future cultivation. What do you think?"

Wang Qi immediately understood what Ji Mingqing meant. He put down his chopsticks, leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms, and asked lazily, "What if I say no?"

Ji Mingqing remained calm, "Then it's the same whether we exchange them for jade or spirit beast meat. I just wanted to give us another possibility."

Wang Qi's eyebrows twitched, apparently persuaded. "I think this is a good idea. Tell me about it in detail, and I'll go home and talk to my mother."

It was obvious that Ji Mingqing was well-informed. Wang Qi was obviously different from Huang Dingzhi. He had a certain say in the family. Since he said he wanted to talk, he must have said it from the perspective of wanting to stay.

Ji Mingqing quickly took out the agreement and explained it to Wang Qi carefully, one clause at a time, especially emphasizing the clause that they didn't have to pay anything but just provide the goods.

"That's unnecessary. I still want to go out for a walk. My family has eaten too much meat. Let them come out and eat something." Wang Qi waved his hand, "Wait, let's leave a mark on the immortal ring. I'll contact you when there is a result."

After the meal was happily finished and the two parted ways, Ji Mingqing couldn't help but feel much more relaxed, and the guilt he had just felt towards Bai Cangze was also swept away. It turned out that work was the best way to relieve stress.

He contacted Lu Jiyao and thanked him for helping him investigate the matter. Shiye Island did not appear in front of Kunze Palace's stall, so meeting him was obviously a pleasant surprise.

After that, Ji Mingqing seemed to have opened up his Ren and Du meridians, and successfully signed contracts with six companies in a row, which happily gave Ji Mingqing many gifts.

Just when Ji Mingqing was going smoothly, Bai Cangze stood in front of the Hongmeng Treasure Tree and asked sternly, "Are you hiding something from me?"

When the Hongmeng Treasure Tree saw Bai Cangze like this, it just shook its leaves and did not communicate with him.

"What is the origin of that sword? Why have I never seen it before? And you know about Ji Mingqing's previous ten lives, right? What is going on?"

This time, the branches of the Hongmeng Treasure Tree did not even shake. It just stood quietly in front of Bai Cangze, responding with silence.

"Don't act like you don't know. If you didn't know, why would you have asked him to come and practice? If you didn't know, why would you have given him half of the tree core? If you didn't know, why would you have given him this sword?"

"Furthermore, after he obtained the sword, he was actually directly connected with the Appraiser's bloodline, and his soul touched. The moment he touched the sword, the sword completely submitted to him."

"What the hell do you know!"

At the end of the conversation, Bai Cangze couldn't even maintain his usual calmness and dignity. He shouted angrily at the Hongmeng Treasure Tree, "Don't hide anything about him from me anymore. Tell me everything you know about him."

"Otherwise, if he encounters any danger in the future, I will..." Having said this, Bai Cangze stopped the words that had not been spoken.

Now the fairy world is stable and the demon world is calm, so there shouldn't be any danger. However, Bai Cangze still has a sense of crisis that is difficult to explain to outsiders. This feeling tortures him and makes him want to go crazy.

Bai Cangze looked at the silent Hongmeng Treasure Tree in front of him, took a deep breath and said, "You like him very much, right? He saved you once before. Can you let me protect him together?"

The Hongmeng Treasure Tree moved its leaves slightly. It understood what Bai Cangze said, but it really didn't know how to respond.

"I don't know." Hongmeng Treasure Tree transmitted a message to Bai Cangze, "I just feel that his existence can save me from danger. I only know that this half of the tree core is very important to us. I only know that the sword should belong to him."

There was a hint of bewilderment in Hongmeng Baoshu's tone. "I just think we should be very close. I really don't know anything else."

Bai Cangze stood with his hands behind his back, his face full of seriousness and disbelief.

He found that both he and the Hongmeng Treasure Tree could only act on instinct when facing Ji Mingqing. If asked for the reason, they really couldn't explain it.

"Sorry, I was too excited just now." Bai Cangze nodded slightly towards the Hongmeng Treasure Tree. "If there's nothing else, I'll go find some relevant ancient books to read."

Before Bai Cangze left, Hongmeng Treasure Tree reminded him, "If you find out anything, please tell me as soon as possible. Maybe I will remember something."

Bai Cangze paused, then left without looking back. He was now in a state of confusion. After returning to Kunze Palace, he asked people to find a large number of classics about the Hongmeng Treasure Tree.

"My Lord, I have already searched for the ancient books on the Hongmeng Treasure Tree, and you have already read through them all. Do I need to search for hidden ancient books in various houses?"

In the past, Bai Cangze would never let others know what he was doing, and he would definitely not make such a big fuss just to find a few books. But this time, he agreed without hesitation and said, "Ask the immortals who have books related to the Hongmeng Treasure Tree at home to send all the books to me. Those who do will be rewarded handsomely."

After sending his men away, Bai Cangze sat in his familiar chair. He recalled what he had done today and frowned.

He always felt that the impending crisis was closely related to Ji Mingqing, but he was not sure whether there would be a crisis, and he could not imagine where the problem would occur in this fairy world.

Bai Cangze was driven mad by this feeling. He could no longer sit still in his chair and stood up, pacing around in a state of turmoil. Just as he was about to explode, his immortal ring vibrated.

"Aze! Where are you! I have something to celebrate with you, can you come over now?" Bai Cangze had just connected the fairy ring when Ji Mingqing's cheerful voice came from the other side of the fairy ring. Bai Cangze's previous worries were immediately suppressed by him.

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Bai Cangze's soft voice could ring with the fairy ring, and when he said "I'll be there right away", he really meant it. In the blink of an eye, Bai Cangze appeared in front of Ji Mingqing.

"Is there something you want to celebrate with me?" Bai Cangze touched Ji Mingqing's hair with a gentle smile. Ji Mingqing raised his head and looked at Bai Cangze, unable to stop smiling.

"I've negotiated with six more stores today. Two have already signed contracts with me. I think we'll have an 80% chance of winning over the remaining ones. We'll soon have ten stores! Let's go! I'll make you something delicious when we get home!"

Ji Mingqing pulled Bai Cangze towards the courtyard where he used to live. Bai Cangze immediately put his arm around his waist and said, "Auntie may not be back for a long time. Do you want to go to Kunze Palace with me?"

"Are we going to Kunze Palace?" Ji Mingqing was a little tempted. "Before we go, let's go see how Zhao Jingying and Shao Yang are building their house. Then, I won't go back to the dormitory tonight and will come back tomorrow morning. Is that okay?"

After hearing Ji Mingqing's words, Bai Cangze couldn't help but move his Adam's apple, "Okay, let's go now."

Zhao Jingying built the house very quickly and it was completed in just one day. Shaoyang was even more so. Although he was worried, he brought several of his apprentices with him during the work and they were all excellent employees, so Ji Mingqing and Bai Cangze didn't have to worry about them at all.

"After the new house is built in a few days, I will ask him to tear down the old house and turn that area into a bamboo forest. What do you think?" Ji Mingqing thought of the bamboo behind the house and proposed it to Bai Cangze, but Bai Cangze shook his head to refuse.

"Can we not tear it down?"

"Why not demolish it? No one lives there anymore." Ji Mingqing asked doubtfully. Bai Cangze bent down, hugged Ji Mingqing's waist from behind, and said in a tone that Ji Mingqing had never heard before: "We met there, didn't we?"

After hearing this, Ji Ming's whole body froze. He could not bear Bai Cangze's voice. Without thinking, he agreed with Bai Cangze's words.

"Then... then we won't tear it down."

Bai Cangze chuckled in his ear, then stood up, without moving his arms, and the next moment he brought his men to Kunze Palace.

"After a quarter of an hour, there will only be two of us left in Kunze Palace. You can do whatever you want then."

Ji Mingqing felt that what Bai Cangze said was a bit strange, but he didn't know what was strange about it, and he immediately put this strange feeling behind him.

"There's no one in the kitchen now, right? You haven't had a meal cooked by me in a while, right? I'll make you an eight-dish meal and a soup tonight! I guarantee you'll enjoy it!"

Bai Cangze brought people to the kitchen of Kunhe Palace with a little anticipation. After entering the kitchen of Kunze Palace, Ji Mingqing couldn't help but exclaimed.

"I originally thought a kitchen was just a kitchen. No matter how fancy it was, how fancy could it be? No matter how big it was, how big could it be? But your kitchen is almost as big as my children's playground!"

"The kitchen of Kunze Palace is not only used by me, but also by everyone who dines there. Their dishes must pass through this kitchen, so I..."

"So you are not an extravagant person, right?" Ji Mingqing looked at Bai Cangze who was explaining to him seriously, and suddenly felt that how could there be such a lovely person in the world, and he didn't know why he was afraid of him before.

Returning to the place where the two had their first "official" meeting, Ji Mingqing was full of motivation and soon finished all eight dishes and one soup. He looked at the table full of dishes and called Bai Cangze with a sense of accomplishment.

"Aze, look! This is the kingdom I conquered for you!"

After hearing this, Bai Cangze's mind was in a daze. He vaguely felt that he seemed to have forgotten something. Those things should be very important to him, but he couldn't remember them at this moment.

But how could he forget something!

"Aze? What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Ji Mingqing's face looked unhappy. He immediately stepped forward and touched Bai Cangze's forehead out of habit. When he found that he didn't have a fever at all, he withdrew his hand.

Bai Cangze looked at Ji Mingqing who was running towards him, lowered his head, and kissed Ji Mingqing on the lips without hesitation. Ji Mingqing was at a loss for words by this sudden kiss, but gradually became addicted to it.

You are truly worthy of being the Lord, you learn everything quickly!

The author has something to say:

There is still some time between the two of them and the final step.

After all, Aze looked at Xiaolujiang, and Xiaolujiang's scale...

There is some knowledge he cannot learn!
