Lu Qing frowned and said sternly, "Stop shouting. I know you can speak human language."
The weasel shrank back in fright, then mimicked a human by cupping its hands in a gesture of respect:
"Please let me go, my flesh doesn't taste good."
Lu Qing: "Nobody wants to eat your flesh. I just want to ask you about the whereabouts of a weasel."
Upon hearing this, the weasel seemed to breathe a sigh of relief:
"You won't eat me! That's good!"
"Which of my brothers or sisters do you want to know the whereabouts of?"
Lu Qing: "This weasel must be very old, with a high level of cultivation. It was interrupted when it was transforming into human form thirty years ago."
The weasel's expression suddenly changed:
"You're asking about Third Uncle!"
Gu Xicheng: "You recognize it? Do you know where it is?"
The weasel shook its head repeatedly:
"have no idea."
This guy is clearly lying. Gu Xicheng once again unleashed the Nine Nether Lotus Flame:
"Are you sure you don't know? Then there's no use keeping it. You might as well bake it and eat it!"
Lu Qing nodded in agreement:
"I've heard that weasel meat is quite delicious, and a weasel with such cultivation would probably be even more so."
"Let's bake it!"
As the Nine Nether Lotus Flame approached, the weasel was so frightened that it immediately knelt down and begged for mercy:
"No, no, no! I'll talk! I'll talk, okay?!"
Lu Qing raised an eyebrow: "It would have been better if we had done this earlier, saving us the trouble."
The weasel sighed:
"May I ask what business you have with Third Uncle?"
Lu Qing: "Don't worry! I don't intend to do anything to it, I just want to discuss something with it."
"Um... actually, I don't know exactly where it is?"
Gu Xicheng: "Looks like you still want to be roasted!"
The weasel waved its hands repeatedly and hurriedly said:
"No, no, no! I don't know where Third Uncle is, but I know how to get him out."
“There’s an old poplar tree ahead. Hang a live chicken on it and tie a letter to its leg explaining your purpose. If Uncle San agrees, he will accept the chicken and come to see you.”
"So troublesome!" Lu Qing frowned.
Weasel: "Third Uncle is the most powerful immortal in this area. If his transformation hadn't been interrupted, he would be a celestial being by now. When you go to see him, you should bring him some gifts."
Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng exchanged a glance, then nodded:
"Alright! I'll believe you this once, but if you dare to lie to me..."
The weasel repeatedly said, "No, no, no!"
Lu Qing left a mark on the weasel and then dispelled the spell.
"Don't even think about running away. With this mark on you, even if you escape to the underworld, I can find you and roast you to eat."
The weasel smiled ingratiatingly: "Yes, yes, how could I dare to run away!"
After releasing the weasel, Lu Qing and the others returned home.
Yu Liming paced anxiously back and forth at the door for half an hour.
Upon seeing Lu Qing and the others return, he hurried forward:
"So? Did you see that weasel?"
Lu Qing: "Uncle Yu, don't worry. Although we haven't seen it yet, we already know how to get it out."
"It's getting dark, let's go early tomorrow morning."
Yu Liming nodded: "Okay! Then come inside quickly, dinner is ready, come and eat!"
Yu Liming's parents were very hospitable. Knowing that Lu Qing had a big appetite, they went to the market and bought a lot of meat and ribs, and stewed a big pot of it.
The portions here are already large, and now every dish being served is in a large bowl.
The two elders didn't mind the trouble at all; they even made the most complicated dishes here, such as snow-white red bean paste, candied sweet potatoes, and crispy yellow vegetables, and specially made dumplings on the spot.
Since they got off the plane, the two elders have been working non-stop, preparing such a large table of dishes.
"Young lady, we don't have anything fancy here, but we'll make sure you're full. Eat as much as you want! Don't be shy, make yourself at home!" the old lady greeted warmly.
Lu Qing nodded with a smile:
"Thank you, Grandma!"
After walking for so long, Lu Qing was indeed hungry, and the dishes on the table were very appetizing.
At first, when Ruan Yinchen and Gu Fei told them, the two elders didn't believe that a young girl could eat so much, but they were quickly proven wrong.
By the end of the meal, everyone was full and burping, except for Lu Qing who was still eating.
Gu Xicheng silently ladled out all the remaining rice from the pot for her.
The two elders looked at Lu Qing and grew happier with each glance:
"Oh my god, this child can eat so much!"
"Girl, is that enough? If not, Grandma will make you some more hand-pulled noodles!"
Lu Qing waved her hands repeatedly: "No need! I'm almost full! This is enough for me!"
"Then you eat it. There are still pork ribs left in the pot, they're all yours," Grandpa said with a hearty laugh.
Lu Qing smiled back, then finished the rest of the rice, drank a beverage to tide him over, and finally felt full.
After the meal, everyone helped to clean up the dishes.
The girls were all chased out of the kitchen. In Grandpa's words, washing dishes and pots were men's work, and the girls' hands were delicate and shouldn't be touched.
Lu Qing and the others couldn't persuade them otherwise, so they had no choice but to go back to their rooms.
As soon as she entered the house, Liu Manyun's expression suddenly changed, and she quickly turned to leave, but Lu Qing stopped her.
"Manyun, what's wrong?"
Liu Manyun forced a smile:
"Idol, I need to go to the restroom."
After saying that, she hurriedly went into the bathroom and locked the door.
Unable to hold it in any longer, he leaned over the edge of the pool and vomited a mouthful of blood.
Liu Manyun trembled as she reached into her pocket, pulled out a pill, and put it in her mouth. Then she turned on the tap to wash away all the blood.
It took her a long time before she finally had the strength to stand up straight.
Looking at her pale face in the mirror, Liu Manyun gave a bitter smile.
Just then, my phone rang. It was a message from Liu Mosheng:
【how's it going?】
Liu Manyun took a deep breath and replied to the message:
[I brought my medicine; I can manage!]
Liu Mosheng: [If you encounter danger, remember to back away. Lu Qing is more capable than you; she doesn't need your protection!]
Liu Manyun: [I know! Brother, don't worry, I'll keep my life until that day.]
Liu Mosheng did not reply to the message.
Liu Manyun deleted all the messages, then took out a powder compact and lipstick to apply a light layer of makeup so as not to look too weak.
She applied a little lipstick and, after confirming that her complexion didn't look so bad, left.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Lu Qing standing there.
The bathroom is outside, and there's no light at the entrance; it's pitch black.
Lu Qing's body was half-hidden in the darkness, and when he looked over, his eyes held a hint of inquiry.
Liu Manyun's heart tightened, but she quickly put on a smile:
"Idol, are you here to use the restroom?"
Lu Qing walked over slowly, and Liu Manyun's heart began to pound, her mind frantically searching for excuses.
However, Lu Qing didn't ask anything, but instead took out a flashlight:
"It's so dark here, why didn't you bring a flashlight!"
Liu Manyun smiled and touched her hair, saying, "I forgot, but it's okay, I can see it."
Let's go!
Lu Qing held Liu Manyun's hand with one hand and held a flashlight in the other.
In the darkness, she quietly suppressed the fleeting tear in her eye.
