Chapter 80 Barbecue
......
[I don't know where Zhu Qing took me, but I vaguely felt that this should be a side hall of the Temple of Light.
After all, apart from the Temple of Light, I am afraid that I will never find another temple in the God Realm that has so many vegetables.
I sniffed the aroma of the food in the air. It was a very refreshing smell. In the past, I would have been eager to eat it, but now, I had no intention of picking up my chopsticks.
"Why don't you eat?" Zhu Qing sat opposite me, frowning at my bored look.
"Don't think you can force me to let you go by going on a hunger strike. I will never be soft-hearted!"
After Zhu Qing finished his harsh words, he turned around and left. I watched him perform the entire show alone, and I had no idea what was going on in his mind.
I sat there, shouting at his disappearing figure, "I want to eat meat!"
Yes, that's right, I can't eat, and it's not because of some bullshit pursuit of freedom.
Simply because I’ve been eating vegetables since captivity!
But no matter how delicious the vegetables are, there will come a day when you get tired of them. I am not a rabbit, so I will naturally want to eat meat.
Zhu Qing's figure kept disappearing from my sight, and I could only look at him going away and sigh to myself.
"Are you so sure he's your lover in the mortal world? I don't see any trace of anyone else in him."
I don't know when Mother Earth appeared beside me with a plate of barbecue. I was startled by her sudden appearance.
"Ye, when did you appear?" I shouted.
Mother Earth quickly covered my mouth and put down the barbecue plate in her hand.
He said innocently, "When you said you wanted to eat barbecue."
I smelled the aroma of meat, picked up the chopsticks and put the meat into my mouth.
"How...did you know...that I was here?"
I asked questions while chewing.
I never thought that after I disappeared, the first person to come to me would be Mother Earth.
Mother Earth sat beside me leisurely, and looked disapproving when she heard my question.
"Is it that hard to guess? After the meeting of the gods, you disappeared. Where else could you go except to find Chongli?"
"Chongli is a very cautious person. If he wants to hide someone, he will definitely not let her out of his sight. So, where else can she go except his temple?"
"His temple isn't very big. It only has this small side hall with array formations and talismans. Doesn't that mean he knows you're in there?"
"Don't change the subject. How can you tell that the current God of Light is your Zhu Qing? I can't tell at all."
Me: "He just looks like him, whether it's his appearance, the tone and pauses when he speaks, or the expression between his eyebrows."
Mother Earth clicked her tongue. "Just this? No wonder they say love is such a wonderful thing."
"A wise God is willing to die for love, and you, because of love, have been forced from a careless God to a sensitive and thoughtful God..."
"No wonder the gods couldn't wait to talk to you about your heart-wrenching love story after learning about it."
"If I weren't afraid of the God of Light finding out, I would have stayed and talked with you all night..."
I almost spit out the meat in my mouth. "Tell me, who knew?!"
"The gods know all about it."
I started coughing madly, took the tea handed to me by Mother Earth, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Ahem, both, ahem, who knows?!" I raised the ending tone and the pitch rose again.
"All the gods know." It was still the same cold and repetitive words.
My thoughts returned to my mind, listening to the familiar voice, I slowly looked up and saw Zhu Qing standing where Mother Earth was sitting, handing me a cup of tea.
I took the tea stiffly and put it aside, looking at Mother Earth, who was now three meters away from me without me noticing, with eyes full of blame.
I asked, "Why didn't you tell me he was coming?"
Mother Earth spread her hands and said, "I was going to say, it's too late."
I then asked, “When did he come?”
This time, before Mother Earth returned, Zhu Qing pinched my face and turned me towards him.
"Don't ask him, I'll tell you."
"It came when you asked who knew."
Zhu Qing said coldly, "I can also answer you a third time. All the gods know it."
I watched Zhu Qing slowly lower his head, rest his forehead against mine, and stare at me with his eyes.
For a moment, I had the illusion that I was entangled by a python and felt suffocated.
"They all know that the honorable Moon Goddess toyed with the feelings of the priests and abandoned his followers. He is a heartless, treacherous, and shameless villain."
I couldn't help but retort, "I didn't!"
Zhu Qing sneered: "With the evidence already irrefutable, Your Majesty the Moon Goddess, do you still want to quibble?"
"How can it be conclusive evidence? Where's the evidence? Why can't I see it?"
Zhu Qing pointed at himself: "Physical evidence."
He raised his hand and pointed at Mother Earth, who was curled up in a ball beside him. "Divine testimony."
I squinted my eyes at Mother Earth and silently mouthed, "Go!"
The next second, Mother Earth disappeared with a "bang".
Zhu Qing seemed to have not expected this step, and a look of surprise flashed across his face for a second.
I suppressed the corner of my mouth that was curled up, "Now the divine evidence is gone, and the evidence is not conclusive at all."
Zhu Qing looked back in dissatisfaction, but he could do nothing to me.
I could only say stubbornly, "I have this physical evidence."
I quickly stood up, held Zhu Qing's face and kissed the corner of his mouth.
The voice was gentle: "What about now? Is the evidence master still there?"
Zhu Qing's brows relaxed, and just when I thought the ice was about to be broken, I saw him turn around and walk away, without any of his previous tenderness.
I sighed deeply. Fortunately, Mother Earth did not take the barbecue away when she left, otherwise I would have lost both the wife and the barbecue.
Before I could take two bites, I saw Zhu Qing coming back with a cold face.
He raised his hand and took out a plate of barbecue from somewhere. He took the plate brought by Mother Earth with an expressionless face and replaced it with his own.
While saying sarcastically: "I don't know where the meat comes from, just eat it if it's not cooked."
I couldn't help but laugh out loud, as if I could see his jealousy from Zhu Qing's walking away figure.
He is still the same Zhu Qing.
He didn't like Hua Rong back then and did a lot of small things behind her back.
Now he has no good feelings towards Mother Earth, so naturally he can't say anything good about her.
