At this point, Dongfang Yifei carefully examined Baili Yuechan.
"What the princess says is true. Speaking of women, this young master prefers women as beautiful as celestial beings and as charming as the princess. They are especially capable of arousing the passion within this young master." Dongfang Yifei smiled lewdly, staring straight at Baili Yuechan.
Baili Yuechan's gaze sharpened, and she suddenly felt extremely disgusted by Dongfang Yifei.
"Young Master Dongfang, please show some respect. Don't blame me for not reminding you, Young Master Dongfang, that women are the most difficult to deal with. Young Master Dongfang should understand what I mean!" Baili Yuechan's face darkened. If she were to give Dongfang Yifei a nice look at this moment, she would be extremely stupid and would make Dongfang Yifei mistakenly think that she was a very frivolous woman.
"Princess, please calm down. I was just joking. You wouldn't have taken it seriously, would you?" Dongfang Yifei smiled. Women? What they say and what they think are never the same.
"It's too late, Young Master Dongfang, you should go back first! We can discuss the specifics later."
Baili Yuechan coldly dismissed him, showing that even jokes should be made with the right person in mind. A princess's dignity cannot be violated. What angered her was Dongfang Yifei's disrespect.
"Very well! What a pity to waste such a beautiful time and scenery. I will take my leave now. Princess, you should also rest early."
After Dongfang Yifei left, Baili Yuechan removed her makeup, and even without makeup, she was still beautiful and charming.
Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, and thinking of Bei Ming Haotian's stunningly handsome appearance, her face flushed and her heart fluttered. If she could live with such a man, she would feel very content...
The next morning, Nangong Ziyan, Beiming Haotian, and Tian Haoze got up early and set off without saying goodbye to anyone else. With only a few days left before the Fengyun Tournament, the three of them took their time to enjoy the scenery.
Nangong Ruichen and Nangong Jingqi returned to the South China Sea Glazed Palace.
"Yan'er, when did Baili Yuechan offend you? You tried to mess with her yesterday."
Tian Haoze was a little drunk last night and forgot to ask, but when he woke up this morning, he was still full of energy and didn't feel the dizziness or headache that comes with being drunk. Without realizing it, he admired Nangong Ziyan even more. That was a rare and good wine. It was a pity that there was only one small jar, and he and Baili Jun'ao only had a few sips before it was gone.
"Brother Haoze, do you still remember the letter from last night about searching for the Shennong Scripture? Yan'er suspects that the letter is related to Baili Yuechan. Also, yesterday Yan'er overheard a conversation between her personal maid and a masked man in black. They wanted to get their hands on the Shennong Scripture and even said that the South Sea Glazed Tile Palace would offer it to them. Yan'er was furious when she heard that, which led to what happened later!" Nangong Ziyan said nonchalantly, holding a nine-tailed grass in her hand, walking and skipping along.
Bei Minghaotian and Tian Haoze exchanged a quick glance. The phrase "I will offer it with both hands" left them puzzled, but then, as if they had suddenly remembered something, their eyes sharpened, and they each memorized the phrase.
Especially Bei Ming Haotian, that Wuguzi is no ordinary person. No one knows his origins, only that he has an ageless handsome face, and in the Qihe Dynasty, he is deeply trusted by the emperor of the Qihe Dynasty, and he dotes on Baili Yuechan. So why does he know about the Shennong Scripture, and why does he want to find the Shennong Scripture? Could it be that he wants to find the Shennong Realm...?
"Wait a minute..." Nangong Ziyan suddenly stopped and sniffed around, interrupting Beiming Haotian's thoughts.
"What's wrong, Yan'er?" Bei Ming Haotian asked, puzzled.
"It smells like vanilla."
"The smell of vanilla?" Tian Haoze followed Nangong Ziyan's example and sniffed around. "I can't smell anything." Tian Haoze looked at Nangong Ziyan strangely.
“Since none of you have ever tasted it, of course you can’t tell the difference in the flavor of herbs.” Nangong Ziyan smiled smugly and walked towards the woods.
"Let's go, let's go and see, can people eat grass?" Tian Haoze looked puzzled. He had heard of horses eating grass, but he had never heard of people eating grass.
"Look! This is herbs. Herb-roasted lamb chops, herb-roasted ribs, herb-stewed whole lamb feast are the most delicious dishes."
Nangong Ziyan pointed to a large clump of grass on the ground, as tall as a person, which emitted a faint lemon scent.
"Yan'er, are you sure it's edible?" Bei Ming Haotian was somewhat incredulous. This grass didn't seem special at all! It was just a little taller than ordinary grass.
"Haotian, what we're eating isn't grass, but its unique aroma. Besides that, it has other benefits, such as dispelling wind and relieving exterior symptoms, removing blood stasis and clearing the meridians. It can treat colds, headaches, stomachaches, diarrhea, rheumatic pain, bruises, and so on. But you're in for a treat tonight, we're having herb-flavored fish and herb-flavored spare ribs..."
"Wait, wait, Yan'er, stop talking. If you keep talking, your brother's mouth is watering." Tian Haoze quickly interrupted Nangong Ziyan, because she could imagine the delicious taste. Tian Haoze swallowed hard.
Bei Ming Haotian smiled as well. Spending this time with her had allowed him to experience what real life is like.
"Alright! Look how greedy you are." Nangong Ziyan teased Tian Haoze, squatted down and started picking herbs. She hadn't eaten anything made with herbs in a long time and was missing it.
"Yan'er, the Valley of Crying Apes is not far ahead. There's a huge, beautiful canyon there, and a river flows through it. Tonight, our feast will all be there." Tian Haoze was incredibly excited to continue. If only this road could go on forever!
