Chapter 195: Just a War of Words

As the smoke rises, the rice cakes in the steamer have been steamed into a soft and fluffy texture.

Sprinkle a layer of roasted sesame seeds, and the aroma will spread. Wei Rui then goes to the kitchen to help.

Ji You walked into the room and sat opposite Yan Shuyi. They looked into each other's eyes, as if the battle of kissing yesterday had not yet ended.

One of the reasons for this atmosphere is personality.

She was so wet when she was kissed last night that her eyes were a little dry and she melted in the arms of a strange man. Today, she kept thinking about relying on the temperament of the little master of Lingjian Mountain to cool him down.

Another reason is that the jealousy about the tail has not dissipated yet.

Some things are like this. You can remain calm when you pretend not to know, but once you ask about it, no matter how the other party argues, it will take a long time for the jealousy to dissipate.

Not long after, Ji You's knee was kicked.

The foot wearing the moon-white boots was full of pride at this moment, the pride that came from the identity of the appraiser.

The bandit Ji looked at her, thought for a while, and then opened his mouth to make a "bo" sound, which made Yan Shuyi subconsciously touch her veil. Then she clenched her fists, with murderous intent in her eyes.

It's not a kiss, just a war of words.

At this moment, Wei Rui brought the food to the table.

Kuang Cheng also followed in and put the rice cakes into baskets, then brought them to the main room. He gave one to Ji You, one to Wei Rui, and the other to the orphanage.

"Giving so much? It's not appropriate."

Kuang Cheng looked at Ji You in disbelief: "I never thought I would hear this from Brother Ji."

"It looks like I'll have to keep eating rice cakes until the New Year. I'll get sick of it if I eat too much."

Ji You turned to look at Yan Shuyi and saw that she nodded reluctantly after thinking for a long time.

As expected, she had to stay here to celebrate the New Year. She was actually seriously considering whether she would get tired of eating rice cakes every day. But she clearly felt embarrassed after being kissed when she woke up this morning, and she said she wanted to leave.

Wei Rui arranged the dishes at this time and whispered to Kuang Cheng: "Sister Yan, why didn't you say a word to Master Ji today?"

Kuang Cheng couldn't help but purse his lips: "It's the jealousy of the second concubine."

"?"

Yan Shuyi glanced at Kuang Cheng at this time, and immediately made Kuang Cheng hold his breath.

She was unhappy when she was told that she was Brother Ji's second wife, but Wei Rui also learned that she couldn't stop talking to her lover.

He is not as reckless as Brother Ji, and he really cannot handle a woman with a personality like Fairy Yan.

Ji Youze looked at Kuang Cheng and thought to himself, you really don't care about my life.

After lunch, the four of them carried the loaded baskets to the street and walked towards the orphanage in the west city. On the way, they saw horse-drawn carriages passing by on the street.

Among them were officials visiting the capital, immortal cultivators coming to visit relatives, and several immortal villas under the Tianshu Academy who came from their respective states and counties to make arrangements step by step to obtain resources for the coming year.

At this time of year, merchants in Shengjing make the most money.

After all, visiting relatives and friends always requires wine and delicious food to accompany it.

As the four of them were passing by a restaurant facing the street, a waiter suddenly came down from upstairs and bowed to Ji You.

"Mr. Ji, Miss Lu invites you to come upstairs for a chat."

"Uh, please thank Miss Lu for her kindness. Let's forget about it today."

Ji You raised his head and looked towards the second floor. Lu Qingqiu and Lu Hanyan were on the left side of the pavilion, smiling at him.

Seeing him waving his hand to refuse, the Lu family’s sister nodded and her eyes fell on the woman next to him.

As a student of the inner court of Tianshu Academy who came from a private school in the countryside, Ji You was quite unwelcome in Tianshu Academy. However, as a man, he was still quite popular in the circle of choosing a son-in-law in Shengjing City.

Now there was a woman beside him. Although Kuang Cheng and Wei Rui were accompanying her, she was still eye-catching.

"It seems to be the woman I met last year."

"?"

Lu Qingqiu couldn't see the face, but he thought the figure was very similar, so he turned to his sister and said, "Last year, a girl came to Tianshuyuan to look for Ji You. It was probably during the New Year's Eve. I don't know which family she came from."

Besides the Lu sisters, other senior sisters from Tianshu Academy also waved to Ji You along the way, asking if he would like to go upstairs for a chat.

Ji You responded politely one by one and waved goodbye.

The short road from the city center to the west city was now full of obstacles, each step seeming to want to take his life.

Wei Rui wrapped her jacket tightly around her body: "Why is it that wherever we go, it's windy?"

Kuang Cheng lowered his voice: "This seems to be sword energy. I have also seen it on Brother Ji..."

"?"

Princess Changle was also having a cocktail party with the disciples of the immortal sect who came to Shengjing this time, and she greeted the four people when they approached.

However, this greeting was not directed to Ji You, but to Wei Rui.

In fact, Zhao Yunyue didn't want Wei Rui to have too much contact with the people from the Sixianjian, so she asked her to go up and introduce some talented people from the immortal sect to her, but Miss Wei waved her hand to decline.

"Thank you, Sister Yunyue, for your kindness, but Rui'er still has things to do later."

Princess Changle did not force it. She glanced at Ji You inadvertently, and noticed the woman beside him, who was more or less resentful: "As the old saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Sister, you should open your eyes to avoid disappointment."

Before Wei Rui answered, she felt a surge of energy again.

At this time, the disciple of Lingjian Mountain who was sitting upstairs turned his attention to Yan Shuyi, with an unpredictable look in his eyes.

The spiritual mirror can conceal auras and cover up the secrets of heaven. Even those in the immortal realm cannot see through it. They just feel that the figure is somewhat familiar, but they cannot be sure.

Zhao Yunyue sat back in his chair at this time, his brows slightly furrowed, and he felt a little troubled.

Although the imperial power of Da Xia is lower than the immortal power, as the princess of Da Xia, she has inherited the legacy of Lingjian Mountain, so her status is actually not bad.

Among the many women he had met, only Lu Qingqiu could compete with him.

Unfortunately, both of them failed in their request to become Taoist partners with Ji You.

Originally, I thought Ji You was very ambitious and was obsessed with the eldest daughter of Dan Sect, and wanted to marry into Danshan as a son-in-law.

Who would have thought that during these few days at the banquet, he heard from the disciples of Tian Academy that a woman with no spiritual energy around her body had been living in Ji You's yard for nearly ten days and nights.

Zhao Yunyue was actually embarrassed about this strange behavior.

Because it's like someone saying that despite her multiple identities, she is still not as good as an ordinary woman.

Liu Junchi said at this time: "Junior Sister Yunyue, have you found any progress on the matter I asked you to inquire about a few days ago?"

"I've inquired and it turns out that the Dan Sect's convoy will arrive in the next few days."

"Will there be Qianyuan Pills?"

"There should be some, but you also know that this kind of medicine is scarce. Even if you have money, it is extremely difficult to buy it. Basically, it will not enter the market and will be taken away in advance."

Liu Junchi frowned slightly: "Junior sister, you must help me."

It has not been long since he entered the upper realm of Rong Dao. His actual combat power and understanding of the Heavenly Dao are still a step behind, and he needs a long time to hone his skills.

However, because the Tiandao Conference will be held next year, he wants to get a place in the Tiandao Conference and enter the place where sages can attain enlightenment and practice Taoism. Therefore, long-term seclusion is impossible, so he hopes to obtain a Qianyuan Pill.

This elixir can only be refined by the Dan Sect. It has miraculous effects on stabilizing the realm, enhancing the connection between heaven and man, and comprehending Taoism.

The seven major immortal sects have a share of Qianyuan Pills every year, and Lingjian Mountain also has some.

But as soon as these pills were delivered, they were basically taken away by some elders.

Even if there were a few left by chance, they would be reserved in advance by some noble families that have marriage ties with the Immortal Sect, and very few would be able to flow into the hands of disciples who really need them through normal channels.

Therefore, his main purpose of coming to Shengjing this time, in addition to asking about the Snow Demon Stone and meeting Princess Changle, was for this elixir, so he asked Zhao Yunyue to keep an eye out for him.

The official roads in Qingyuntianxia are all maintained and repaired by Daxia, and the post stations along the way are also operated by Daxia. It is not difficult to inquire about Danzong's whereabouts.

Zhao Yunyue looked at Liu Junchi's earnest eyes and then nodded.

The two of them have been in contact with each other over the past few days at the suggestion of King Chong, and they are quite satisfied with each other.

But at this stage of just getting to know each other, Zhao Yunyue still felt a little bit used when she was asked to help with this and that.

But it's like this everywhere in the world. It's rare to find someone who is sincere and genuine.

"How about this, Senior Brother, in a few days, the Dan Sect will arrive. I will ask someone to invite the Dan Sect siblings to my banquet. You can buy it through them, but whether you can get it depends on you."

After hearing this, Liu Junchi bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Junior Sister."

Zhao Yunyue smiled lightly, and then she remembered the scandal between the eldest daughter of Danzong and Ji You, and suddenly felt that something interesting seemed to be happening.

Even if the rumors were false, it would still be quite funny.

It would be even more interesting if the rumors were true.

After all, Ji You now has a mortal woman in his yard. I wonder what kind of rumors will spread at that time.

At this time, Ji You and his four companions had already delivered the rice cakes to the orphanage, and took the children to the West Market for a stroll to buy some shoes, socks and other things for them.

Ji You, who had returned from the Snow Region, was now a wealthy man, and of course, a target to be slaughtered.

The young master of Lingjian Mountain bought a lot of things, and the money was also taken from Ji You's pocket.

She has money, lots of it, but she doesn't spend it.

"Master Kuang said that Master Ji is actually quite stingy. Over the years, only Sister Yan and the children have made him willing to pay for them, and he has never shown the slightest sign of heartache."

Yan Shuyi was silent for a while and then nodded: "I know."

There is still a sword hanging on the head of her bed, which others think is not worthy of him, but is extremely precious to her.

Wei Rui picked up the small box placed on the stall and asked, "Do you have any with sweet osmanthus fragrance?"

Yan Shu also turned his head and looked over: "Green salt?"

"Well, do you want it, sister?"

Green salt is a fine salt powder with a light granular feel. It is suitable for cleaning the mouth and teeth. Sometimes it is mixed with other things such as mint leaves, dried osmanthus, or some traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat, removing scale and sterilizing, and making the mouth fragrant.

Yan Shu also had his own green salt, so there was no need to buy it. But after thinking for a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Is there any kind with chili flavor that won't make you feel spicy after brushing it?"

Wei Rui was stunned for a moment, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes: "Whose is that?"

"He's a scoundrel."

"?"

Wei Rui and Kuang Cheng hadn't even held hands yet, so they couldn't understand the picture in Little Master Jian's mind.

Yan Shuyi naturally couldn't buy such a strange green salt, so he left the stall and walked to Ji You: "Ji You, I want to eat candied fruit."

Ji You took out a piece of silver from his pocket and put it in her hand: "Buy some more and keep them at home for you to eat during the New Year."

"I also need to buy some roasted sweet potatoes and charcoal. We don't have any at home. I heard from Wei Rui that these vendors will be closed in a few days. The East and West Markets will be transformed into Lantern Streets, and we won't be able to buy them then."

"Charcoal... don't worry, I'm looking for it in the five main halls these days. As for sweet potatoes, I'll go to the nearby vegetable market to check."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

As Ji You spoke, he thought that the jealousy in this girl seemed to have dissipated a lot. He hoped that no cat with its tail raised would come out at this time.

While waiting for Ji You to leave the stall, Yan Shuyi walked towards the vegetable market, and then returned towards Wei Rui with the candied fruits in his arms.

At this time, Kuang Cheng had already returned with the shoes, socks and cotton clothes bought for the children from the orphanage. In addition to Wei Rui, there were two women standing in front of him.

One of them lowered her head and hunched her chest, and from the clothes she was obviously a maid. The other one wore a green cloud-water skirt and stood like a young lady, but she was actually a cultivator in the Wei Zhao realm.

As Yan Shuyi was walking back, she saw the young lady-looking woman looking at her, and seemed to care about her very much.

"Miss Fang Xinyuan doesn't plan to return home and wants to stay in Tianshuyuan?"

"No, I plan to stay in seclusion in the courtyard for a while. Besides, there are several banquets for fellow practitioners in the sect. Although immortal cultivators value material possessions, some face should still be given."

Fang Ruoyao smiled faintly and answered Kuang Cheng.

The daughter of the magistrate of Yuyang County, she was admitted to the academy for training thanks to her brother's military merit, but until now she is still at the Wei Zhao realm and can hardly make any progress.

She was unwilling to accept her fate at first. Before Pei Ruyi left, she asked her, "Didn't senior sister tell me that day in Yuyang County that I had excellent qualifications?"

Pei Ruyi told her, yes, it’s Shangjia.

To this day, she has actually already half accepted her fate.

The reason why she was recognized as such was that her aptitude for cultivation was actually not that good. Not to mention compared with the students in the outer courtyard, she was not even as good as those businessmen in Shengjing City who had some connections with the aristocratic families and therefore had some cultivation.

But when facing three mortals, Kuang Cheng, Wei Rui, and this unknown woman, she still had a kind of proud fairy-like demeanor vaguely present in her posture and words.

At this moment, Fang Ruoyao looked at Kuang Cheng and couldn't help but think of the half of her life that she didn't recognize.

And that half is Ji You.

Her former fiancé built a villa in Fengzhou and set out with the delegation. He killed the soldier king with a sword and persuaded the Demon Emperor. Although the inner court did not like Ji You, they could not deny the fact that he was extremely talented.

And that marriage contract was the half that she couldn't let go of.

Thinking of this, Fang Ruoyao couldn't help but look at Yan Shuyi again, her eyes subconsciously falling on her lower abdomen. She looked at it for a long time, and then her face gradually turned pale.

When Ji You came back after buying sweet potatoes, Fang Ruoyao had already left. At this time, Yan Shu narrowed his beautiful eyes, like a jealous cat.

The kindness that she inadvertently revealed when she bought the candied fruit seemed to have never existed at this moment.

"Another cat with its tail up?"

Kuang Cheng just came back to his senses after being shocked. He looked at Ji You and said, "We just met Miss Fang."

Ji You's mouth twitched, and he thought of the obstacles he had encountered today and said, "It was a big mistake not to check the almanac before going out today."

"This is not important, Brother Ji, what is important is the offspring!"

"?"

Kuang Cheng was a little excited: "Miss Fang just asked me to tell you that congratulations on having a child, and then I suddenly realized that Brother Ji really deserves to be Brother Ji!"

At this time, Wei Rui came from a distance, holding a pair of exquisite tiger-head shoes in her hands, and her expression was no less excited than Kuang Cheng.

Ji You was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Yan Shuyi, and found that the little master was blinking as if nothing had happened.

She actually knows a lot of things.

He knew that Princess Changle and Lu Qingqiu wanted to marry him, and he also knew that he originally had a fiancée named Fang Ruoyao. Sometimes, even if he couldn't recognize her at first glance, he could still tell by listening to their conversation.

The stranger's ex-fiancee kept staring at her belly, as if she wanted to confirm whether she was pregnant with him.

He was only at the Wei Zhao realm, and his spiritual thoughts could not be projected too far away, and they were actually directed towards himself.

But for some reason, Xiao Jianzhu did not stop her weak spiritual thoughts and gave her the illusion that she was pregnant, which was not difficult for her at the Yingtian realm.

It was naturally obvious that Ji You's cultivation was much higher than Fang Ruoyao's. At this moment, he couldn't help but silently mutter to himself, thinking that this young master of Lingjian Mountain was really a bit mean.

When returning to Tianshuyuan from Shengjing City, the furnace in the temple was ignited again.

Several kinds of preserved fruits were placed on the red painted wooden cabinet, and there were also a few sacks filled with vegetables and sweet potatoes in the corner.

At this time, the young master was sitting in the arms of a strange man with a cold and arrogant look on her face, her lips slightly open, her tongue being teased, and her eyes calm and composed.

From this angle, she could see the doll she had bought earlier.

Frogs and butterflies, all of them have no tails.

In addition to these two dolls, there is also a pair of tiger-head shoes on the red lacquered wooden cabinet, which Wei Rui bought for them specially after believing the slander.

This reminded her of how Ji You had the audacity to ask her how many children she wanted to have.

Thinking of this, Yan Shuyi suddenly began to gently open and close her teeth to bite him. After a few times, Ji You gently opened his eyes.

When he saw the other person's eyes, Xiao Jianzhu immediately sharpened his gaze. He looked down at Ji You and stared straight ahead with sharp eyes, forcing Ji You to close his eyes.

Yan Shuyi smelled very good, but it was not a strong scent of makeup, more like a faint floral fragrance that was refreshing.

Normally, only her personal maid was lucky enough to smell this fragrance, but now the person who knows this smell best is the strange man Ji You.

After a while, the sweet and fragrant little mouth was released. Ji You looked at Yan Shuyi who was breathing heavily and found that he still had a calm expression, but there was already a thin layer of sweat on the wings of his nose.

"Ji You, you have a really bad taste in choosing a fiancée."

"I already said she's not my fiancée. Besides, I didn't make the final decision before the breakup."

Yan Shuyi wiped his little red lips and said, "Whether it is or not has nothing to do with me, it's not me who is getting married, and you will be the one who suffers in the end."

Ji You lowered his head and moved forward, and saw that the little master raised her slender neck very obediently, her rosy little mouth slightly opened while panting, and her sweet tongue couldn't help but stick out slightly.

Seeing this scene, Ji You stopped kissing and straightened up again.

The young master's legs curled up slightly, and he couldn't help but punch him. He said coldly, "If you are looking for a fiancée again, remember to ask me to help you select one. After all, women know women's minds best, and I will always choose better than you who have such poor taste."

Ji You said, "I don't believe you at all." "Do you have a problem with Fang Ruoyao?"

"She has a very bad character. She is only at the Wei Zhao realm but she still puts on airs in front of her old friends. She is also very jealous. When she saw me, she even had a resentful wish that I would die. She happens to be the type of woman I dislike the most. If I were to choose one for you, she would definitely be a thousand times better."

Ji You stared at her pretty face with a slightly rosy complexion for a long time, thinking that your abacus beads are going to jump on my face.

But answering yes or no at this time would probably make a hole in his heart. Ji You knew too well this kind of hypocrisy that only made things more obvious.

Especially after knowing that Yan Shuyi pretended to be pregnant and made Fang Ruoyao's face pale with jealousy, Ji You had a new understanding of how vicious she was.

At this moment, the young master was staring at him quietly, waiting for his answer. His amber eyes were deep and boundless, and it was impossible to tell the emotions hidden in them.

However, she did not get any response as she found that the strange man leaned over again, got close to her pretty face, and kissed her mouth, causing her long eyelashes to tremble slightly.

This time, Ji You no longer opened his eyes to look at her expression, and kissed her deeply and devotedly.

Soon, Yan Shuyi couldn't help but stretch out his arms and put them around his neck. The brocade sleeves slid down to his elbows, his arms were white and hot, and his breathing became louder.

That’s what hibernation is like, you always have to find something to pass the time.

Play hopscotch, beat the tiger with a stick and the chicken eats the worm.

Hopscotch, beating tigers with sticks, chickens eating bugs, and kissing.

Hopscotch, pop, pop.

Kiss, kiss, kiss.

Ji You doesn’t dare to do anything else for now, because he feels that his current body cannot hold on.

If you take the King of Soldiers as the standard, you will know that Yingtian Realm can still defeat him, and it will be a waste in the long run.

Thus, this peaceful hibernation life was no longer confined to the yard. Yan Shu would sometimes hide her breath and cover her face with a veil, and be taken out for a walk by strange men.

Whenever he met a girl from the academy, Yan Shuyi would condescendingly ask him whether he liked her, as if he was really choosing a fiancée for him. He seemed to have completely forgotten that he had been kissed for a long time in the yard just now.

Ji You commented on the points where he was not as good as the Little Master of Lingjian Mountain one by one, including his appearance, figure, and smoothly overcame every pitfall.

In the evening, when the sky was covered with fiery clouds, Yan Shu also received a message from Zhuo Wanqiu.

This time she was down the mountain for quite a long time, so Yan Jingxiang had to come to Yunding Palace every day to ask about her. Zhuo Wanqiu then relayed his words and asked her when she would be back.

The suggestion of "visiting relatives" was originally made by Zhuo Wanqiu, but as time went on, Zhuo Wanqiu became a little scared.

She was not afraid of the safety of the Master of the Appraisal. After all, the Master of the Appraisal now had the Spiritual Appraisal to protect her. It would take some effort for someone who had reached the fifth level of perfection to attack her.

What she was worried about was whether the owner of the inspection would come back one day holding a big fat boy.

Yan Shuyi had just returned from a stroll with Ji You. After seeing the message, he thought silently for a long time, sometimes frowning and sometimes pursing his lips, his eyes solemn. It took him a long time to remember who Zhuo Wanqiu was.

"Stay here to spend the new year, it will be a long time before I go back."
