Chapter 176 Happy Dinner
It’s a headache. A real headache.
There were only a few major forces in the small Zimu Liuhua Territory, and he offended them all at once. It was really like he had enemies all over the territory. Fortunately, there were many people without sects in the Zimu Liuhua Territory, and they hated the practices of some sects. Otherwise, Shi Yan would have become a rat crossing the street, and everyone would want to beat him up.
Shi Yan coughed awkwardly and said seriously, "Don't talk about those nonsense. Even if the whole area is full of enemies, what can I do? I can just leave. To borrow Ye Yier's words, um, how did you say that sentence? If I am not welcome here, I will find another place that will welcome me. If I am not welcome anywhere, I will stay at home!"
"Puchi!" You Qingmeng covered her mouth and burst out laughing. She was indeed a famous beauty in Zimu Liuhua Territory. Even her laugh was so charming. Dongqi was stunned and drooled all over the floor.
Canglan and Shi Yan looked down on him, while You Qingmeng simply ignored him. It was not uncommon to see such people in normal times. There were countless people who came to visit her every day and wanted to have sex with her. You Qingmeng had gotten used to it, but habits are like ghosts of habits, and it was still annoying. In comparison, the two days she was imprisoned by Shi Yan were the most peaceful and comfortable days for her. She didn't have to be annoyed by those flies, nor did she have to worry about whether a killer sent by her brothers would suddenly jump out of her house and take her life. She didn't have to worry about intrigue. Although the space for activities was very small, she was quite happy and comfortable. She spent the whole day tending flowers and watering them, looking after Ye Yier's vegetable garden, Xiao Baoer's candy store, cleaning the room, and was at ease.
I wonder what kind of expression Dongqi would have when he found out that You Qingmeng treated him like an ant.
"Are you willing to leave?" You Qingmeng said with a smile, "Don't you want to beat up those guys who bullied you?"
Shi Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, "I always feel that there is something else behind your words."
You Qingmeng covered her mouth and chuckled, "I'm just a weak woman, how can I say anything?"
"" Shi Yan was speechless, "The weak woman was not just anyone at the beginning, even Cang Lan almost fell over."
You Qingmeng's illusion should not be underestimated. Canglan almost fell into her trap last time.
Shi Yan frowned and said, "By the way, speaking of last time, your target seemed to be that little brat."
"Little brat?" You Qingmeng thought for a moment, "Are you talking about Young Master Li?"
"Young Master Li? Well, I think so." Shi Yan stammered and tried to get by. He had been with Xiao Baoer for such a long time, but he didn't even know his name. It would be embarrassing if he went away.
"Haha," You Qingmeng said with a smile without exposing the truth, "Master Liang, one of the twenty-one disciples of Haotian Academy, secretly brought Young Master Li to Zimu Liuhua Territory. Young Master Li was naughty by nature and got lost halfway. It just so happened that Haotian Academy learned that Master Liang was in Zimu Liuhua Territory, so we let him rest in the village and helped Master Liang find the lost young master."
"Is it that simple?"
"It's that simple." You Qingmeng thought for a moment and added, "Maybe there are some unknown things in it, but this is our purpose in seizing Young Master Li. We thought you kidnapped Young Master Li, so we wanted to take Young Master Li from you so that we can increase our weight in front of Dad."
"You mean, the other two groups of people are from Youmeng Villa?"
You Qingmeng nodded and said with a wry smile: "It's a bit helpless to say it, but they are indeed my Qingmeng Villa's men. One group is my eldest brother, You Xiaoyao's men, and the other group is your old enemy, You Haoran's men. Although everyone knows who the other party is, they pretend not to know."
Shi Yan shrugged, "Your family's relationships are really complicated."
You Qingmeng smiled helplessly, "There's nothing we can do about it. Every family has its own problems, let alone a big family? In a big family, if you have no relatives, even brothers and sisters, or even parents, they could be your competitors and people you must kill in the future."
"What's more, this situation was created by my father. He always said that only the strongest person could sit on the position of the owner of Qingmeng Mountain Villa. It was also because of this sentence that the three of us didn't want to scheme since we were young. We all wanted to kill others."
Shi Yan sighed softly, thinking back to the Shi family, wasn't it the same?
If it weren't for his own brilliance, he would have been the same as them. Shi Yan even suspected that the one who had caused the extreme coldness in his body and driven him down from the altar of the Shi family was someone from the Shi family, but he didn't know who it was.
"So I want to make a deal with you." You Qingmeng smiled faintly and looked at Shi Yan. Her pair of watery eyes seemed to have a kind of magic that captivated people.
Shi Yan quickly covered his eyes, "If you use illusion on me again, I will immediately strip you naked and throw you out."
You Qingmeng was not angry at all. Instead, she blushed and said shyly, "If you want to see my body, just tell me. I might agree to it."
Shi Yan was speechless. This demon was truly incredible. Every word and action he made seemed like an illusion, making people lose their minds.
"Haha, that's enough. I won't play with you anymore. Let's get serious." You Qingmeng suddenly said seriously, "You and I have formed an alliance. Help me seize Qingmeng Villa!"
Shi Yan was shocked by You Qingmeng’s words. He didn’t expect that this goblin had such a big appetite!
Shi Yan frowned and thought, considering the pros and cons of this matter.
"I don't need you to answer me right away. Think about it carefully. I won't let you suffer any loss. Maybe, we can reach some consensus!" She turned around, smiled charmingly, and walked out the door.
After she had been out for a while, Shi Yan spoke up, "Canglan, how reliable do you think what she said is?"
"Conservative estimate, 80%." Canglan replied.
"You are too stingy, you slacker. It should be at least 100%!" Dongqi shouted dissatisfiedly.
"Humph, you look like you haven't seen a woman for hundreds of years, your saliva is all over the floor, how dare you say that!" Canglan hit Dongqi unceremoniously, making him scream, "You are insulting me, I tell you, I, Dongqi, have very high standards, how could I possibly do such a shameful thing as you said?"
This guy completely forgot about the thing under his feet.
Well, asking them was my biggest mistake!
Shi Yan covered his face and walked out of the study alone.
He recalled what Xiao Baoer had said. He said that Liang Bo came to Zimu Liuhua Territory to build a monastery. At that time, Shi Yan found it very strange. Haotian Monastery, one of the Twelve Great Immortals, actually wanted to build a monastery in this remote little area?
Shi Yan had no idea about this matter at the time, but now thinking about it, he had a guess in his mind, but this guess needed to be confirmed.
The object of verification is my elder sister, Shi Xin.
The sky gradually darkened, Shi Yan stood alone by the lake in the valley, quietly watching the full moon rising slowly in the sky. The full moon was like a jade disk, hanging in the sky, with a circle of soft halo spreading out, making the surroundings look hazy and very beautiful.
"Shi Yan, it's time to eat. Come and try my cooking!" In the small house not far away, Ye Yier poked her head out and called him to eat. Shi Yan collected his thoughts and strode into the house after a moment.
The dishes were very rich, with a large table full of seven or eight dishes. Although they were all vegetarian, the rich aroma of the dishes made everyone at the table drool. Even Dongqi, who always considered himself a meat eater, was like this. His hands kept shaking, and he was skeptical that perhaps after the word "dine is ready", his hands, which had been successfully preheated, would start to stir up trouble as quickly as possible.
"The last two dishes are here!" Ye Yier and You Qingmeng held the dishes in their hands and carefully placed them in the center of the table. These were two soups, served in large bowls. The red unknown vegetables in the soup looked very delicious and appetizing.
Ye Yier clapped her hands and said with a smile, "It's done. Now let me introduce these dishes!"
Then, pointing to the last bowl of soup, he said, "This is my favorite, tomato and egg soup. There are no chickens here, so I had to use bird eggs instead. Fortunately, the taste is still delicious."
"Tomato? What kind of vegetable is it? Can I eat it?"
Ye Yier rolled her eyes at him and put her hands on her hips, "Of course it's edible!" As she said that, she picked one from the vegetable garden, washed it, and took a bite in front of everyone. Immediately, the rich juice flowed down the red flesh, and a slightly sour and sweet fragrance drifted into everyone's nose.
Ye Yier smiled proudly and said, "Tomatoes, also known as tomatoes, can be eaten raw as fruit or cooked as a vegetable. They taste sweet and sour, crisp and refreshing, and rich in nutrients. They are an indispensable vegetable in our place!"
Listening to the chewing sound in her mouth and smelling the aroma of tomatoes, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Only You Qingmeng was laughing secretly. She had picked one and eaten it out of curiosity a long time ago. The taste was so unforgettable and it was so delicious.
Dong Qi couldn't help but started to move, but Ye Yier knocked his claws back with chopsticks, "Wait a minute, I haven't finished the introduction yet!"
Then, he introduced several other dishes, "This is the eggplant with soy sauce, this is the golden needle bamboo shoots with lily, this is the braised potatoes, this is the sweet-scented osmanthus and wild rice stem dumplings, this is the mapo tofu, this is the stir-fried green beans, this is the hot and sour cabbage, and this is the stir-fried bean sprouts."
"Finally, it's my specialty and my favorite, called Eight Vegetarian Delicacies! Eight Vegetarian Delicacies are made from eight ingredients: Chinese cabbage, fresh asparagus, broccoli, fresh mushrooms, carrots, soaked white fungus, soaked shiitake mushrooms, and white lotus seeds. Blanch the Chinese cabbage, fresh asparagus, broccoli, fresh mushrooms, carrot balls, soaked white fungus, soaked shiitake mushrooms, and white lotus seeds and then remove them. Add salt and broth to simmer until the flavor is absorbed, then drain the original juice and place it on a plate. Bring the original juice to a boil, thicken it with starch, and pour it on the Chinese cabbage." Ye Yier introduced proudly.
Finally, after a long period of suffering, everyone finally heard Ye Yier say "Dinner is ready". Suddenly, the hands could no longer be seen. The speed of the hands was so fast that the eyes could not catch it at all and could only see blurry shadows.
Ye Yier originally wanted to show off proudly, but when she saw the talent on the plate was decreasing, she couldn't help it and rushed into the battlefield with a scream.
"I've been busy all afternoon and haven't eaten yet!"
"Little snake, that's mine!"
"Go eat your bugs, you bastard, and don't compete with me for food!"
"Wow, it's so hot, but it feels so good!"
