Yuyuan Immortal Venerable did say such words. As for why Yuyuan Immortal Venerable said such words, Xie Beiming did not mention it, and Shen Qiqi did not think of asking. She said "Oh" and skipped it.
Just at this moment, a rich fragrance hit my nose. Looking up, I saw Yinqiao on the other side of the fire had just grilled a fish.
Shen Qiqi hurriedly waved at her and said, "Yinqiao Yinqiao, give me the fish quickly!"
The fish in Wuji Sect are outstanding, and even the fish there are better-grown than those in the ponds outside. The meat is sweet and tender, and the fish bodies are roasted into a golden color. You can smell a mouth-watering fragrance before you even get to them.
The bamboo skewer holding the fish had been roasting on the fire for a long time, so even the end was a little hot to the touch. Shen Qiqi hurriedly found some bamboo leaves and wrapped them around it layer by layer. After making sure that it was no longer hot, she handed it to Xie Beiming as if it were a treasure.
"Master Xie, please try this fish. It's so fresh and delicious that it's enough to make you bite your tongue off."
This was the truth. She had eaten the grilled fish so hastily because it was so delicious that she almost bit off her tongue.
Thinking of this, Shen Qiqi reminded Xie Beiming again: "So don't eat so fast, eat slowly... Don't worry, I still have a lot of fish here, I guarantee you will eat enough."
As Shen Qiqi spoke, she instructed Yinqiao to grill a few more. When she turned around, she saw that Xie Beiming did not take the grilled fish she handed over. Instead, he stared at her without blinking. She couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "What's the matter?"
The word "la" was still lingering on the tip of her tongue when Shen Qiqi suddenly thought of something. She raised her hand and slapped her forehead, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xie, I didn't mean to... Well, wait a moment, I'll grill it for you."
Yinqiao is made of paper. Although Xie Beiming is no longer as opposed to talismans and magic as before, it is impossible to change the beliefs that a person has held in his heart for more than ten years.
It was already very good that Master Xie did not chop off Yinqiao's head with a sword. How could he possibly eat the food made by Yinqiao?
She was careless.
While Shen Qiqi was blaming herself in her heart, she was about to return the grilled fish in her hand to Yin Qiao and was planning to grill one for Xie Beiming herself.
But at this moment, a cold yet gentle voice sounded in her ears: "No need."
"Ah?" Shen Qiqi was stunned. Before she understood what "no need" meant, she saw a hand reaching out.
The white, slender hand passed before her eyes, brushed gently across the back of her hand, and then rested close to her fingers, holding onto the bamboo stick wrapped with bamboo leaves.
“…”
So Shen Qiqi was stunned for a moment, and finally understood what this "no need" meant.
——Since she didn’t have to say sorry, and she didn’t have to cook herself, Young Master Xie accepted Yinqiao’s grilled fish!
In other words, Xie Beiming truly and sincerely accepted the magic of talismans!
As soon as this realization came out, Shen Qiqi almost couldn't help but jump up and cheer, her lips couldn't help but rise up, and her eyes sparkled with laughter.
The girl's pupils appeared black and bright in the firelight, and were now filled with a smile. The smile in her eyes was divided into star-like fragments by her long eyelashes. Looking at them in the firelight, it was as if her eyes were filled with a brilliant starry sky.
Looking back and seeing this scene, Xie Beiming couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch those eyes.
He thought so and actually did it.
The moment the fingertips touched the eyelids, the smile in Shen Qiqi's eyes froze instantly.
Not only did her smile freeze, but her entire body seemed to be under a spell, unable to move. Her eyeballs rolled dully in her sockets for a few times, and then she slowly lowered her eyelids, her gaze following the finger that was moving under her eyelids.
But in her heart, she was screaming madly: "Xie Beiming! He actually touched my eyes! What did he want to do! Is he crazy?!"
She had seen Xie Beiming go crazy!
In her previous life, at the bottom of the Cliff of Ten Thousand Demons, after her body had been devoured by wild beasts and only her bones were left, Xie Beiming went down to the bottom of the Cliff of Ten Thousand Demons, picked up her scattered bones one by one, and then pieced them together into the shape of a human body, and gently and carefully held her in his arms.
It was as if what he was holding in his arms was not a creepy skeleton, but the most precious treasure in the world.
At that time, Xie Beiming looked like a madman.
Then the madman held her body and lay down in the coffin with her.
And then...and then she came back.
But at that time, Xie Beiming's madness could be understood as being possessed by a demon. After all, Xie Beiming in his previous life was just like her, a demon who was hated and avoided by everyone like the plague.
But Xie Beiming in this life was not possessed by a demon, so how could he have gone crazy?
Seeing that the finger was about to touch her eyelashes, Shen Qiqi finally came back to her senses from the shock and was about to grab the finger.
Xie Beiming seemed to have known what she was going to do. He whispered, "Don't move." He then explained, "There's dust in your eyes."
As he spoke, he took his fingers away from Shen Qiqi's eyes and showed him the pads of his fingers.
In the firelight, one could see that there were indeed a few small black spots on his originally fair and rosy fingertips.
Maybe some ashes accidentally splashed on it.
Shen Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, if you want to help me wipe the dust, then you should at least say something first. But you just touched me without saying a word, and looked at me with that kind of affectionate eyes that can make people sick to death... My little heart was almost scared to death by you, do you know!
Shen Qiqi couldn't help but glared at Xie Beiming with resentment. She wanted to complain a few words, but looking at Mr. Xie's innocent face, the words that came out of her mouth inexplicably turned into: "Oh, thank you."
Xie Beiming: "You're welcome."
Shen Qiqi: ...
On the other side, Yuyuan Immortal Venerable and other twelve elders took turns to fight. If you scold, I will persuade you, and if you persuade you, I will scold you... Anyway, the ultimate goal is to tell Wu Qiongcang: You really did something wrong today, admit your mistake quickly.
Unfortunately, Wu Qiongcang remained unmoved.
He was outnumbered, twelve on one, and showed no sign of stage fright. He ate and drank until the elders were so thirsty that smoke was coming out of their mouths. Only then did he put down his wine glass, raised his eyelids, looked at them, and asked, "Are you done?"
The elders: "...Ah, that's all! Also, what's with that attitude!"
Look at how indifferent he is...he is simply stubborn!
Not only did smoke come out of the elders' mouths, but they were so angry that flames almost came out of their heads.
Wu Qiongcang, however, remained calm. He wiped the oil off his fingers with a handkerchief and then slowly said, "Elders, you came up and lectured me without asking any questions. Do you expect me to be nice to you? That's ridiculous."
Before the elders could get angry, Wu Qiongcang looked at Shen Qiqi and said, "This thunderbolt, this barrier, and the fish and shrimp that were killed in the clear pond are all the work of my little disciple. Why don't you reprimand her but instead scold me?"
