When they heard that there was something delicious to eat, the three heartless kids immediately abandoned Xiao Xiong and followed her without looking back.
Xiao Xiong stood there and watched them walk away, until they were out of sight before he looked away.
Seeing Gu Xueting staring at him strangely, he subconsciously touched his face, "What's wrong?"
"I never knew that Brother Xiao liked children so much." Gu Xueting poured him a cup of tea and passed it to him.
Xiao Xiong laughed loudly, "Aren't these little guys so cute? I want to take them home to raise them."
Gu Xueting laughed, "When they are cute, they make people feel heartbroken, but when they are naughty, they are really unbearable. I want to beat them up."
Of course, he could only say this himself. If anyone dared to say anything bad about Qing Bao and the others in front of him, he, as a father, would definitely teach that person a lesson.
After chatting for a while, Xiao Xiong's face straightened and he asked, "Xiao Ting, what happened earlier?"
Gu Xueting did not hide anything from him and told him the whole story. Of course, there were some things that were difficult to talk about, such as why the emperor wanted to kill him, so he simply passed them over.
Xiao Xiong digested it for a while, then punched his palm hard, "Xiao Ting, no matter what, I'm on your side."
He looked at him with his fierce eyes, making his position clear.
Gu Xueting smiled, "Brother Xiao, I have no idea about that position. It will remain the same as it was before."
Xiao Xiong was about to speak but stopped. Gu Xueting knew what he wanted to say and comforted him: "Don't worry, even if the new emperor ascends the throne, I will be fine."
"Okay, since you said that, I won't worry about it anymore."
Xiao Xiong had a very sumptuous meal here. After the meal, he played with Qing Bao and the others for a long time before leaving reluctantly.
Shortly after Xiao Xiong left, Gu Xueting received a communication talisman from his master Luo Yaoyao.
"Master, I have found out the real reason for the beast tide outbreak and am on my way back now. Ask Zhizhi to prepare a few more of my favorite dishes for you!"
Shen Yizhi was right beside him, so he naturally heard it and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, Master, I'll get ready to go and make sure you can have a hot meal when you come back."
Shen Yizi didn't make anything too complicated. He just used the Changran Ding to boil a pot of thick soup and ate it in the hot pot.
Gu Xueting helped her by picking and washing the vegetables, doing all the work he could. Shen Yizi only had to cut the vegetables and serve them on the plate.
When Luo Yaoyao stepped into the house, the soup base had just been cooked and was bubbling.
He could smell the delicious aroma from far away.
"Hurry up, serve it. I haven't had a hot meal in days." He urged anxiously.
Shen Yizhi cooked a three-fresh soup that nourishes the stomach and can be drunk directly. She first served a bowl of soup to Luo Yaoyao, "Drink a bowl of soup to warm your body first."
Luo Yaoyao took a sip and immediately her eyes narrowed up because of the freshness and she sighed in comfort.
After finishing a bowl of soup, Shen Yizhi and Gu Xueting also served the dishes.
The hot pot table is placed above the brazier, so you can eat from the pot while roasting by the fire, warming your body inside and out.
Qing Bao and the other two were taking a nap, and Shen Yizi didn't wake them up.
She and Gu Xueting had just finished lunch and were not hungry, so she was responsible for preparing hot pot for Luo Yaoyao, and he only had to eat.
Being served by her two apprentices, Luo Yaoyao felt so happy.
After eating for more than ten minutes, he finally recovered and slowed down.
Shen Yizhi scooped up the fish balls with a ladle and put them in his bowl, then asked, "Master, you said earlier that you found out the reason for the beast tide outbreak. What exactly was it?"
Luo Yaoyao carefully bit open the juicy fish ball, first sucked up the soup inside, and then swallowed the whole fish ball in one gulp.
"I searched all the way there and found a valley deep in the Angry Snow Sea. An ice dragon was imprisoned in the valley. Although the ice dragon could not come out, people could go in. I don't know who sneaked in and stole the dragon egg. When the ice dragon woke up and found that its egg was stolen, how could it not be angry? "When the ice dragon got angry, the entire Angry Snow Sea was shaken. Those monsters that had already developed intelligence ran out to help it attack us under the dragon's might, wanting to get the dragon egg back."
"Dragon egg..." Shen Yizhi and Gu Xueting looked at each other, and both thought of the baby dragon that had hatched in her space not long ago.
Shen Yizhi summoned the young dragon out of the space.
Luo Yaoyao was startled, "Hey, where did this baby dragon come from?"
Shen Yizhi told her that the pet shop owner gave her the dragon egg for free as a gift.
After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized, "Could it be that the store owner already knew its origins and was afraid that the dragon egg would die in his hands, so he threw this hot potato to me?"
If this is true, then the pet shop owner deserves to be punished.
Luo Yaoyao took out a porcelain bottle and said, "I fought with the ice dragon and took some of its blood. We can use the affinity talisman to test whether this baby dragon is its blood or not."
The test results came out very quickly. The young dragon in Shen Yizhi's hand was indeed the bloodline of the ice dragon.
So now the matter is very clear. The pet shop owner somehow stole the dragon egg and brought it out of the Angry Snow Sea, causing the ice dragon to become furious. He showed his dragon power and drove many monsters in the Angry Snow Sea to attack human defenses, trying to break through the city wall and retrieve the dragon egg.
Although the monster tide has been temporarily repelled, the ice dragon will not give up until the young dragon is sent back to the ice dragon.
After discussing it, they decided to set out early the next morning. With Luo Yaoyao leading the way, they would go to the valley where the Angry Snow Sea Ice Dragon was and return the baby dragon to the ice dragon.
As for whether the ice dragon would mistake him for an egg thief, causing a war between the two sides, this is not a consideration for the time being.
In short, let’s send the baby dragon back to the ice dragon first.
Before leaving, Shen Yizhi sent Qing Bao and the other two into the space as usual, and also prepared a lot of ready-to-eat food.
After everything was ready, the three of them left the city and boarded the Sky Boat into the Angry Snow Sea.
With Luo Yaoyao's guidance and the Tianzhou's high concealment and high speed, the three of them soon arrived at the valley he had mentioned.
The valley is shaped like a bowl, with ice walls on all sides and the ground covered with thick white snow. At first glance, it looks like a cold and desolate world of ice and snow.
The Tianzhou entered from the gap between the mountain walls and after flying for a while, the view became wider.
