When Pei Ji woke up, he found himself sitting naked in the hot spring pool, wearing only a pair of silk pants.
He knew that this was the hot spring bath in Huanhuan's space, which meant that they had come out, but how did they get out?
He only remembered killing the flower demon, and what happened next... He pressed his eyebrows, and the missing memory suddenly emerged.
I see.
But why does it feel a little unreal?
The person in my memory who grabbed the five-colored stone from the void with one hand, was it really him?
This situation has happened countless times. Every time he faces a life-or-death situation, he becomes unlike himself, becoming exceptionally cold and powerful, as if there is another person hidden inside his body.
He looked at his hand, and with a thought, a red stone appeared in the palm of his hand.
It was the five-colored stone he had caught earlier.
Outer room.
Xue Huan sat on the fluffy carpet, flipping through a book on the low table, thinking about giving the baby a nickname. Since she already knew her gender, she had to treat her as a girl from now on. It was necessary to give her a pink and tender girl's name.
Every time she thought of something, she would quickly write it down on paper so as not to forget it.
Probably because of her pregnancy, she found that her memory had deteriorated a lot. The saying "Pregnancy makes a woman stupid for three years" really does make sense.
"Hanhuan, what are you doing?" Pei Ji hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder.
"We're naming the baby. Take a look and see which one is more suitable?" Xue Huan handed him the piece of paper filled with nicknames as if she were presenting a treasure.
Pei Ji looked at them one by one: Yue Nu, Chun Bao, Le Le... The first ones were relatively normal, but the ones that came later included names like "Little Pig", "Red Bean Paste Bun", "Glutinous Rice Crisp". He couldn't help but feel both amused and helpless, burying his head in her neck and laughing.
Xue Huan pulled his ear, "What are you laughing at? Is the name I gave you funny?"
How could Pei Ji dare to admit it? He quickly restrained his expression, coughed lightly, and said seriously, "How could that be? All the names Huanhuan came up with are perfect. I just don't know which one to choose."
Xue Huan looked at him suspiciously, "Really? Then which one do you think is best?"
Pei Ji pretended to ponder for a moment, "Glutinous rice cakes?"
"Ha, you and I are thinking the same thing. I think this is the best too. Glutinous rice crisps, white, plump, soft, sticky, and sweet. Just thinking about it makes me so cute. Okay, then this is it."
Xue Huan patted her belly and said, "Baby, from now on you'll be called Nuomisu. Do you like this name?"
No movement.
Xue Huan and Pei Ji exchanged a glance, "The baby must have fallen asleep and didn't hear what I said."
The big issue of giving the baby a nickname was solved, and Xue Huan began to design clothes for the baby with great interest again.
Not only does she have to prepare clothes, shoes, socks, cribs, toys and other baby supplies for Nuomi Su in advance, she also has to design them herself.
Seeing her lying on the table and quickly immersed in it, completely leaving him aside, Pei Ji couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved. He hugged her waist and rubbed it, "Hanhuan, don't you care about me?"
Xue Huan: "Hmm?"
Pei Ji turned her around and kissed her without saying a word.
After kissing for a while, Xue Huan suddenly said, "You're poking my stomach."
Pei Ji: “…”
He bit her lips in frustration.
Xue Huan burst out laughing at his depressed expression. She touched his face and coaxed him like a child: "Be good, wait until the glutinous rice cakes come out, and you can kiss them however you want."
What else could Pei Ji do? He could only endure it.
Now that we're done with the banter, it's time to get down to business.
He took out the red stone and said, "Hanhan, is this the five-colored stone we're looking for?"
Xue Huan called out to the spatial spirit in her mind: "Come, feel it, does this stone possess the power of space?"
The fifth pearl was lying on a tall peach tree, legs crossed, chewing a juicy peach. Although he sensed Xue Huan's call, he didn't go over. Instead, he answered her with his spiritual sense, "I felt it the moment this stone came in. Was it the one that blocked the connection between us before?"
The Five Elements Beads and the Five Colored Stones are both artifacts with spatial attributes, but the Five Elements Beads have become a complete and self-consistent small world, which is higher in level than the Five Colored Stones. Therefore, the Five Elements Beads can accommodate the Five Colored Stones, but not vice versa.
This is also why Xue Huan was unable to enter the space when she was sucked into the world in the painting (the five-colored stone space).
It’s like Xue Huan can enter the space with a storage bag, but cannot put the Five Elements Beads into the storage bag.
If you force yourself to stuff it in, the small space in the storage bag will not be able to accommodate the Five Elements Beads and will burst.
Xue Huan: "That's right."
The process of getting the first piece of five-colored stone was more difficult than Xue Huan had imagined. If Yuzhu had not been sucked into the world in the painting, she and Pei Ji would not know when they would be able to see through the purpose of the painting monster.
Without knowing the truth, their feelings might really be worn away by the hardship day after day, not to mention that there is a scheming painting demon who is constantly trying to sow discord between them.
It’s a bit scary just thinking about it.
After resting in the space for two days, Xue Huan and Pei Ji set out again to look for the next five-colored stone.
This time, the two used magic to adjust their appearance, making it look like an ordinary passerby, an appearance that would not leave any memorable points at first glance.
When traveling in the martial arts world, having a too eye-catching appearance will eventually bring a lot of trouble. Wasn’t it the bully ghosts and painted monsters in the past who targeted them because of their looks?
It turned out that they should have done so earlier, because after lowering their appearance, they indeed had fewer accidents along the way.
One day, two men were riding on the road when they suddenly heard someone shouting for help in the woods beside the road.
Now that we have met, we naturally cannot ignore it.
The two men rode their horses into the forest and saw a huge tiger pacing around a tree. On the tree, a man was holding a branch and shivering. It was obvious that the cry for help came from him.
Seeing the two men, the man hurriedly shouted: "Two heroes, help me!"
Xue Huan pulled the reins. "What kind of hero? Do I look like a man? I'll give you a chance to reframe your words."
The person in the tree: “…” Aunt, it’s already this time, and you still care about this little detail?
The tiger under the tree: "..." What's going on? These two people really don't take it, the king of the forest, seriously.
The tiger opened its mouth and roared, ignoring the man in the tree and pounced towards Xue Huan.
Xue Huan sat motionless on the horse, and the man in the tree was so frightened that his heart almost stopped beating, "Get out of the way!"
The next moment, the tiger flew out and fell heavily to the ground.
It was Pei Ji who made the move, but his movements were too fast. The man on the tree only saw a black shadow flash by in the air, and then the tiger flew away.
Pei Ji did not kill the tiger completely, but just shocked it unconscious.
Xue Huan said to the man, "Come down."
The man glanced at the tiger lying motionless on the ground in the distance, knowing he had encountered a master. His courage suddenly grew, and he climbed down and came to the two men, bowing and saying, "Thank you very much for saving my life. My name is Zhao Zhuxi. May I know your names, benefactors?"
