Zhao Xi was taken aback: "So rushed?"
Shan Shan nodded.
He is always fast and pursues efficiency in everything he does.
If you're moved, it means the opportunity has arrived, and you don't want to delay it even a little longer.
If it weren't for the fact that the headmistress was too busy, he would have left immediately after learning the instructions for the paper crane.
Zhao Xi wanted to remain silent for a moment and carefully observe him from head to toe.
Take an orange scarf from the ring.
Xiao Ding sheds a lot of fur.
While cleaning, Feng Xiaoxiantong collected the dog's fur. Zhao Xi wanted to teach Tu Xiaoxiantong how to twist the fur into a rope and make a scarf.
After all, she is a demon beast with spiritual roots, and with the nourishment from her food, her fur is shiny and comparable to a waxed mink coat. The fabric made from it can recover a small amount of spiritual energy when she rests.
"The dew is getting heavier, wear this."
She walked up to the boy and tied it on for him.
"Don't worry, Headmistress. I was just joking with you this morning. Even if I can't find the Prince, I'll come back."
Tears welled up in Shan Shan's eyes, and she wiped them away with the back of her hand.
Zhao Xi tapped his nose and instructed, "You've always been clever, but you're not always reliable. Since you're going to find someone, don't rush and miss the details. If you see any demonic beasts with spiritual roots, remember to bring them back."
"Um."
"We'll be here waiting for you to come back, so don't worry."
"Um!"
Shan Shan nodded, took out a piece of peach blossom branch, and put it on the ground.
The tree branches were tinged with a dark yellow spiritual energy and floated up.
He leaped onto a tree branch and soared into the air, gathering his strength in his dantian, shouting, "Goodbye, Headmistress! Goodbye, brothers! I'll be back soon!"
The voice was like a booming bell, deliberately breaking the silence of the night.
The shockwave scattered the monsters and sent flocks of birds flying away.
Several toddlers, wearing little bibs and with bare little legs, came out of the house rubbing their eyes.
"Shanshan is a bad guy, she said she'd leave tomorrow morning."
"Wow! After Brother Shanshan formed his core, he went out to enjoy himself."
"Where's the best place outside? The Animal Park is the best!"
"But I also want to go out and see the world!"
"I'm not going to sleep anymore, I'm going to the breathing room to cultivate! I want to form my core as soon as possible so I can fly out on my sword and bring back some good things for Headmistress Sister."
They got dressed and walked in groups toward the breathing room.
...
Inside the cave.
Hoshino sat cross-legged in meditation, with five-colored spiritual energy constantly surrounding his body.
"Goodbye, brothers, I'll be back soon!"
So noisy!
His brows furrowed slightly as he tried to concentrate on comprehending the spiritual energy, but after a long effort, the surrounding spiritual energy dissipated.
He gritted his teeth, snorted, and sparks flew from his nostrils.
Shanshan is just showing off on purpose!
After Xiao Jia forms his core, he should be the one who forms his core.
Only one small crystal is left, but every time I'm about to form the core, my mind goes blank, as if there's a fog obscuring my memories.
Upon seeing the Master arrive, he even set up a Water Spirit Array for both Xiao Ding and Shan Shan, hoping that he could also form a Core like Shan Shan by relying on that spiritual energy.
But the master simply patted his head, telling him to be patient and wait a little longer.
Why do we have to wait?
He had rehearsed his inner demons countless times, and even if the demons came to him, he wouldn't be afraid.
"Why... what's wrong...?"
He muttered something, and a heavy mist welled up in Black Pearl's eyes.
...
The next day, Zhao Xi remembered it was late.
Fortunately, the immortals from the Cuiyun Sect didn't arrive early in the morning, otherwise she wouldn't even have had time to wash up.
After washing up, I stood in the courtyard and stretched, facing the misty mountains, when I smelled a strong aroma of scallions wafting from the cafeteria.
It turned out that Feng Xiaoxiantong saw that she was too tired, so he baked the scallion pancakes according to her recipe.
The dough for the scallion pancakes was made last night using leftover steamed bun dough while I was making steamed buns.
Separately, finely chop some scallions imbued with spiritual energy, add a small piece of moonstone powder made from moon essence, and stir-fry with the lard from the spirit beast.
Spread a layer of oil paste on the dough, fold it over, cut it into long strips, and roll it up from one end. Each small dough ball is a pastry, which can be frozen for long-term storage.
Today, when baking, simply press the dough into a disc, lightly brush it with oil, and place it in the oven.
Now that everything was ready, Zhao Xi went over and took a piece, took a bite, and blew on it to warm it up.
The inside of the pastry is soft and delicate, while the surface is crisp and crunchy. Whether you hold it with both hands and bite into it, or tear off pieces while it's still hot and pop them into your mouth, it's very satisfying.
Some humans might find the aroma of meat interfering with the unique fragrance of scallions, but for demon beasts, the meat flavor is like MSG, enhancing the freshness perfectly. Zhao Xi, with her naturally keen sense of taste, also felt that this balance was just right.
The kids don't just eat staple food; they also get extra side dishes.
Stonefish chunks, cold gourd slices, moth pupae that love to spin cocoons on red berries, steamed dove eggs...
Each child can choose food that suits their own taste, and occasionally they will try a bite of someone else's food.
Today, Feng Xiaoxian made only a small portion, just enough for breakfast.
"Xiao Jia, Xiao Ding, and Xingye didn't come out for breakfast?"
Zhao Xi held the flatbread in her hand, glanced at the remaining dishes, went to the sink to look at the plates soaking in the water, and asked the air a question.
A gust of wind drifted through the cafeteria, and the little fairy wind quickly materialized around her, replying, "Replying to Headmaster, demon cultivators abstain from grains during their cultivation, so they probably won't be eating with everyone anymore."
When demon cultivators practice, they sometimes close their eyes for several days at a time, and it's hard to say when they will emerge. Once their cultivation level improves, they may go into seclusion for several months or even half a year.
