Luo Yan came to the backyard garden.

I saw that the hall was so tall that there were countless towering trees rising from the ground and wild grass growing everywhere. It looked more like a primeval forest than an unattended garden.

A rabbit came out from the bushes and was not afraid of seeing Luo Yan. It was still chewing something in its mouth.

Luo Yan looked at it for a moment and smiled slightly.

At the edge of the pond, Luo Yan washed the skinned rabbits, tied them up with straw ropes, and carried them back.

On the way, he saw a few monks hugging each other and crying on the side of the road, shouting something like "Take me away" and "Ancestor, take me away". He didn't know how long they had been possessed by the devil before they were driven crazy.

Luo Yan sighed and thought that these monks were really miserable.

The speed of time flowing within Guixu is very strange. It seems normal at ordinary times, but when practicing, you will find that the speed is incredibly slow.

According to Zhunmang Jun, if you stay here for a year, your life span will only be reduced by three days. As for cultivation, it is similar. Even if you continue to breathe in and out to refine your Qi for a year, it is only equivalent to three days of cultivation in the outside world.

For those monks who only know how to practice and advance, but do not know how to enjoy the fun of life, it must be no less than hell.

But Luo Yan felt it was okay...at least for now.

When I returned to the room with the rabbit, I saw Miss Shi kneeling on a cushion, praying and performing rituals with a sad face.

"What are you holding in your hand?" she asked, turning around.

"Rabbit." Luo Yan smiled and picked up the meat in his hand.

"Hey!" Shi Liuli made a disgusted sound and turned away, "Rabbits are so cute, why do you want to kill them?"

"I didn't kill them." Luo Yan said with a smile, "They crashed into the tree stump and died."

"Nonsense!" Shi Liuli started to cry again, "Raw meat is so disgusting, I won't eat it!"

Luo Yan had no choice but to silently set up the grill, light the charcoal fire, and then start oiling and grilling.

Shi Liuli turned his back to him angrily, wondering when had he ever suffered such injustice?

In the past, even when she ate meat, it was prepared by everyone before being given to her. When had she ever seen such blood?

What a little junior brother, he doesn’t understand or sympathize with me at all!

As Luo Yan roasted the rabbit meat until it was shiny, the unique aroma of the oil also emanated.

Shi Liuli stared at the painting on the wall and couldn't help swallowing. He thought that if my junior brother apologized now, I could forgive him.

Luo Yan turned the bamboo skewers over and over again and began to brush them with red oil, making the aroma stronger.

Shi Liuli swallowed his saliva again and again, his eyes rolled for a moment, and he wondered if he should turn around and glare at him so that he would know to respect his senior sister.

Luo Yan began to sprinkle pepper and cumin, and the oil dripped into the charcoal fire, making a loud explosion. Shi Liuli's gluttony could no longer be suppressed, so she turned around, snatched the bamboo stick from his hand, and started to eat it in big mouthfuls.

"Senior Sister, rabbits are so cute, how can you eat rabbits?" Luo Yan asked her with a smile.

"Shut up! Give me the chili powder."

Shi Liuli shook the jar vigorously, and the liquid spilled all over the rabbit meat. Then he bit into it viciously, as if it was Luo Yan's own meat.

"Cough, cough, cough." Before she had taken a few bites, she choked.

"Senior Sister, go slower." Luo Yan immediately handed her a cup of tea and rubbed her back to help her relax.

Miss Shi finally calmed down, but she was a little embarrassed by Luo Yan's intimate actions and twisted her body uncomfortably.

"What are you going to do next?" She held the teacup, lowered her head and stared at the tea leaves in the cup, not looking at her junior brother's face.

"Oh, I plan to go to the side hall first and take a look at the information about the Guixu formation."

"Do you want me to accompany you?" Shi Liuli asked in a low voice.

Luo Yan was about to say no when he saw a timid and pleading look in Miss Shi's eyes.

Considering her temper, Luo Yan understood what she meant. It was not "Do you want me to accompany you?" but "Can I go with you?"

"Of course." He said with a smile.

"Too hypocritical." Kunlun Mirror first reported "Synchronization value increased", and then couldn't help but complain, "You know she is timid, why don't you coax her first? She's been scared like this..."

"With your eloquence and emotional intelligence, wouldn't it be easy to make her feel at ease?"

"No need." Luo Yan said with a chuckle, "An appropriate fear of the unknown will help to bring her and me closer - after all, in such an anxious situation, she can only rely on me, right?"

Kunlun Mirror: ...

If you don't plan to abandon the identity of Luo Yan after repairing the sky, I will just regard you as a gentleman who is looking for a good wife and won't say anything.

But since you have already decided to let Luo Yan become a passer-by, why do you need to leave so many traces in her heart?

Scumbag!

Luo Yan had no idea what Kunlun Jing was thinking. He just took Shi Liuli out of the room and headed for a side hall filled with books.

Along the way, Shi Liuli held Luo Yan's arm tightly, looking around like a timid hamster.

Seeing three strange monks on the side of the road, she immediately hid behind Luo Yan.

However, the three monks ignored the two of them and just yelled at each other like crazy.

One shouted "distributed nodes are invincible", and the other roared "increasing coupling is the only way out". Judging from their expressions, both sides wanted to tear the other to pieces.

The remaining monk could only shout in vain "don't drag others down" and "they are all valuable", but was simply ignored by his two companions.

"Did you see it?" After walking far away, Luo Yan said to Shi Liuli, "The cultivators here are all very crazy."

"You see, one year here is only equal to three days outside. The Three Islands Treasure Ship Secret Realm outside is only open every thousand years, which means that the group of cultivators who entered the secret realm last time and fell into the great abyss have been here in the Guixu Palace for 100,000 years."

"One hundred thousand years! In the outside world, who can live that long except for immortals? In addition, it is impossible to practice here, and there is nothing to do. Those cultivators who don't want to escape may have committed suicide in despair. Those who can survive are all crazy people. What do you have to be afraid of?"

"Don't talk so scary!" Shi Liuli hit him hard and said with tears in her eyes, "What if we are also trapped here for 100,000 years?"

"If I were trapped with Senior Sister." Seeing that she was like a frightened bird, Luo Yan deliberately said seriously, "Let alone a hundred thousand years, even a million years would be enough for me."

Shi Liuli was furious when he heard this: He was already feeling so miserable, yet his junior brother still wanted to tease him!

She was just about to start gnashing her teeth, preparing to bite this hateful junior brother, but unexpectedly the Kunlun Mirror suddenly removed the illusion of mirror flowers and water moons.

Once this hypocritical personality was removed, his temperament immediately became extremely sincere, so much so that Shi Liuli couldn't figure out for a moment whether his junior brother said this just to divert his attention and stop him from panicking, or whether he was sincerely confessing his feelings to him.

After walking for a while, Shi Liuli suddenly stammered:

"Well, Junior Brother...I need to think about it carefully, seriously...Okay?"
