Chapter 60 Magical Love
With Xiao Lie and Baili Xi around, nothing serious will happen. Even if something does happen, these two people will definitely be able to handle it without help from others.
After knowing that the matter had been resolved, Xiao Jinyi felt a little guilty. He clearly came here to help his sister out of suffering, but he was so busy being with Shen Shixu that he forgot such an important matter.
Fortunately, Xiao Lie and Baili Xi came along today.
To express his apology, Xiao Jinyi treated everyone to a meal at noon. During the meal, Xiao Jiayi discovered something very interesting.
How could her cold fifth brother be so gentle towards Lord Shen? When she was secretly sighing at the deep friendship between the two, she accidentally saw how Xiao Lie and Baili Xi got along with each other, which gave her a new idea.
Xiao Lie started to peel the shrimps for Baili Xi, removing the shrimp heads and shells, and then put the sweet shrimp meat into Baili Xi's bowl.
The same was true when eating fish. Xiao Lie first shaved off the bones on the fish meat, and then put the boneless fish meat into Baili Xi's bowl.
Seeing how well Baili Xi was taken care of by his uncle, Xiao Jiayi was really moved. She also wanted a lover as caring as this.
Before, Concubine Shu had also found a prince consort for Xiao Jiayi, but Xiao Jiayi didn't want to get married at that time and turned it down on the grounds that she was still young.
And now, seeing how sweetly Xiao Lie and Baili Xi get along, she also wants to get married. In addition, there was already a vague shadow living in her heart, which made her want to get married even more so as to experience the feeling of being cared for by someone.
As Xiao Jiayi was thinking, she saw Xiao Jinyi doing the same thing as Xiao Lie, but the person he was taking care of was not her sister, but Shen Shixu.
Seeing this, Xiao Jiayi suddenly had an incredible thought in her mind, could it be that her fifth brother likes Shen Shixu?
Xiao Jiayi was surprised by her own idea. She didn't eat much, just took two bites casually, and then kept observing how Shen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi got along.
The more he looked at her, the more he felt that Xiao Jinyi had fallen for Shen Shixu. No wonder he had been so gentle to Shen Shixu before. He remembered that Xiao Jinyi had never been so gentle even to their prince brother.
When Xiao Lie was serving soup to Baili Xi, he saw Xiao Jiayi staring at Xiao Jinyi, and occasionally glanced at Shen Shixu, with a look of wisdom in her eyes.
He also looked over, and then he understood why Xiao Jiayi had that expression. Xiao Jinyi was openly favoring Shen Shixu, but unfortunately the person involved didn't see it.
After lunch, they continued to stroll around Mengshan. It was a rare opportunity for them to come out, so they had to have fun first. As for those troublesome things, it would not be too late to deal with them when they returned.
In the afternoon, Baili Xi and Shen Shixu finally talked. "Mr. Baili, judging from your appearance, you don't look like someone from Dagan. You look more like someone from Southern Xinjiang. Can you tell me something about Southern Xinjiang? I'm very interested in that place, especially those legendary poisonous insects. Are they really that powerful?"
Baili Xi has never been an easy-going person. If someone else asked him this question, he would let the other person have a good taste of the power of the poisonous insect.
But the one who asked him this question now was Shen Shixu. Bailixi had a very good impression of him. First, because of his eccentricity, second, because of his kind heart, and third, because of Xiao Jinyi's face.
So he talked to Shen Shixu about the things in Southern Xinjiang.
Nanjiang is different from Dagan. There are no cities there, only tribes. The name of each tribe is the witchcraft they are best at, such as the Five Poison Tribe, the Golden Toad Tribe...
What they are good at are the Five Poison Gu and the Golden Toad Gu, and Baili Xi comes from the Golden Silkworm Tribe, the leader of many tribes.
Shen Shixu knew that Baili Xi was the Holy Son of Southern Xinjiang, and understood that his Gu technique must be among the best in Southern Xinjiang, but he did not expect that the Gu he was best at was the most magical golden silkworm Gu.
"Golden Silkworm Gu? I read in the storybooks that the Golden Silkworm Gu is omnipotent and can detoxify, prolong life and suppress all poisonous insects. Is that true?"
When Baili Xi heard that he had read it from a picture book, he said with a bit of a smile: "The things in the storybook are exaggerated. The golden silkworm Gu is very powerful, but not as powerful as it is said in the book.
It can suppress other poisonous insects, but not all poisonous insects can be suppressed. As for prolonging life, it is nonsense. If one poisonous insect can prolong a person's life, then no one will die. Wouldn't it be good for everyone to live forever together? ”
After hearing Baili Xi's explanation, Shen Shixu regained his sanity after running away from home. "Mr. Baili is right. I actually took those words seriously and asked about them. I was really rude."
Baili Xi saw that he seemed to like Gu worms very much, and thought that he also had a few on him, so he took out a thin bamboo tube as long as his index finger from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Shixu.
"You seem to like the Gu worm very much. I happen to have an extra one here. If you don't mind, I'll give it to you."
How could Shen Shixu dislike it? This is the poisonous insect personally made by the Holy Son of Southern Xinjiang. He took it with both hands and played with it carefully.
"Mr. Baili, I wonder what type of poisonous insect this is? How should I take care of it? Are there any taboos?"
Baili Xi explained to him carefully, "This Gu is called the Beauty Gu, it can beautify your skin and slow down the aging process. It doesn't like hot places, but likes to eat fresh flower petals and drink morning dew.
It will grow up in a month. You take care of it first. When it grows up, come to me and I will teach you how to use it to beautify your skin! ”
Shen Shixu felt that this insect was something every little girl wanted to own. Although he was a man, he couldn't let go of it.
"Okay, thank you Mr. Baili!"
Seeing the two people chatting happily, Xiao Jinyi's mouth curled up. Xiao Lie folded his arms and faced sideways to him, so he could see it just in time.
Seeing the usually cold Xiao Jinyi's smile, Xiao Lie couldn't help but shook his head and sighed in his heart: "Love is really a magical thing. It can make a person change so much."
After Xiao Lie finished talking, he immediately thought of himself. In the past, he had always been unruly and arrogant, and had never given face to others. If he got angry, he would even dare to confront his own father, let alone those people who had nothing to do with him.
But since being with Baili Xi, Xiao Lie has changed in the eyes of many people. In the past, he was so sharp that he could scratch people if he got close.
Now he seems to be covered with a scabbard, and except at certain moments, his sharp edge becomes restrained. It may be due to the passage of time, but more importantly, he has been softened by love.
