Chapter 107 Chapter 14
In fact, the cook noticed the uniqueness of this place as soon as she entered the room. Not to mention this room, just by stepping into the gate of this courtyard, even in the place where she was responsible for cooking, she felt the abundance of spiritual energy, and this place was undoubtedly the most abundant.
But she was only here to work and would be leaving, and her family could not come in. But the thing she took over was something she could actually take away.
"Thank you, thank you, sir! Thank you, ma'am!" The cook couldn't help but feel happy. Now she really wished the two of them well.
Before leaving, he did not forget to praise Ji Binyang's goodness, and of course he did not forget to remind Ji Binyang to treat his wife more carefully and gently. By the way, he looked at Ruoruo many more times with reluctance.
I secretly sighed in my heart, it is true that people with good looks are pleasing to the eye no matter what they do. This girl has a cold face and messy black hair, but she is still shockingly beautiful.
As soon as she entered the room, she noticed something was amiss. As someone who'd experienced this, she could guess a little from the two people's expressions and her employer's attitude. But could she say anything? Of course not! All she could do was feign ignorance to ease the situation.
Now it turns out that she was right.
Apart from anything else, she was definitely in the right place to be a cook! It was a gift that had fallen from the sky for no apparent reason; it was something her family couldn't possibly afford.
It was her father-in-law who brought them to this marginal place in the world of cultivation after their spiritual roots were found to be strong. However, he never showed up again after bringing their family here and appearing twice.
Her family knew this all too well, and they feared they could no longer cling to her. After all, her father-in-law had been chosen for his aptitude and began cultivating when her husband was born not long ago. When he returned, both she and her husband had grandchildren, and her mother-in-law had long since passed away. Of course, she couldn't really count on her father-in-law anymore.
Such a good thing is of course extremely precious to her, her family and her only grandchild!
After the cook left, Ji Binyang began to persuade Ruoruo to eat. After finding that Ruoruo was pursing her lips and not eating and ignoring him, he began to coax her patiently.
Of course, this was also a kind of enjoyment for Ji Binyang. After all, no matter what expression or words or actions Ruoruo made, she was stunningly beautiful. As long as she was around, Ji Binyang would hardly feel bored.
Even if people didn't say a word to him or paid any attention to him, he would still be happy and shameless.
The only thing he felt was that when he thought about the bad things he had done, he still felt upset and wanted to slap himself a few times.
But then he thought, the beauty was right in front of him, within his reach, so he was lucky. He just didn't know what that damned man must be feeling now.
If he had known this, he should have set up a killing array in the secret realm. No, one layer might not be enough, he should have set up several layers. Unfortunately... At that time, he only felt that Ruo Ruo's constant calling of the so-called "Brother Qu" was a bit annoying, but he didn't expect that they would actually... And it was all his own fault!
Thinking of this, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared without a trace when he looked at Ruoruo.
"Smell it, dear. Don't these dishes smell good? Ruo Ruo, are you sure you don't want to try them?"
"There's a fairy lotus root in here. It's said to add ten years to the lifespan of someone without any cultivation experience. I'm not sure if it's true or just a figment of my imagination, but it must have some effect."
"This is……"
"This is Qingyunzi. It's said to be good for beauty and skin..."
Ji Binyang introduced the dishes with great enthusiasm. The cook only knew how precious these items were when she was talking, but she had no idea why he specifically asked for all these ingredients, nor did she understand their effects. He, however, understood them; after all, he just liked them when he had nothing better to do. Even if he didn't deliberately learn more about them, his daily extravagance and boredom were enough to make him remember them.
When he talked about beauty and skin care, he noticed that Ruo Ruo's eyes moved slightly. Even this subtle reaction was clearly seen by Ji Binyang. He seemed to have discovered a new world and began to brag about which ingredients could beautify and improve one's appearance.
Of course, he knew in his heart that he was bragging. After all, with Ruoruo's appearance, it was impossible for her to go one step further, let alone reach a higher level. In fact, he couldn't even imagine that there could be a face more beautiful than the one in front of him in this world. Even in the fairyland, it was probably impossible for her to appear.
But Ruoruo seemed to be persuaded. Her eyes trembled slightly, revealing a little confusion. She slowly began to respond, and even the indifference and alienation she had originally felt towards him began to gradually dissipate.
After finally coaxing Ruoruo into picking up her chopsticks, Ji Binyang felt a great sense of accomplishment, but at the same time he felt guilty, worried about what would happen if the food had no effect after she finished eating.
After thinking about it, I still feel that I should go back and ask the alchemist to get some more similar things. Even if I have to use spiritual objects and treasures, I have to make them have some effect.
…
At this time, Qu Chengjing had already fallen into great panic.
In fact, when he first came out of the secret realm where the Fengling grass matured to deal with those people who were waiting there, he did not forget to keep an eye on the situation on Ruoruo's side.
The moment he saw several more formations suddenly appear, he realized something was wrong, but it was too late.
Yes, it was the first time he discovered that he could be so frightened. After he found out that he had lost Ruoruo's trace, he was already panicking beyond recognition.
Many people saw his weakness and wanted to take him down in one fell swoop. Qu Chengjing quickly killed them all, leaving no one alive. After all, those who planned to kill people and steal treasures should be prepared to be killed in return.
But what made him difficult was not those people, but the formation.
This was the second time he felt so powerless. The first time was when his mother died, but the feeling back then was so distant and unclear. But the worry and fear he felt now were so clear, making him desperate to find Ruo Ruo and hold him tightly in his arms.
But things did not go as planned. He used all his strength and the fastest speed to search the entire secret realm, but in the end he found nothing.
After leaving the secret realm, he continued to ask questions. If he had not been so handsome and looked so heroic that it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person, he might have been mistaken for a madman by others.
But there is none.
At this moment, he hated himself for the first time for having only practiced hard and not learned more skills.
The jade talisman the old man gave him also completely lost its aura.
He knew in his heart that a person who could shoot down several formations in an instant without anyone noticing would not be easily found by him.
But he still had a glimmer of hope.
Until gradually a blush appeared in his eyes...
"You bastard, are you crazy?"
An old man suddenly appeared in front of Qu Chengjing and knocked him unconscious immediately.
"You're crazy! It's a mess, a complete mess! Brat, if it weren't for the fact that I figured out that you're the one who's going to inherit my mantle, do you think I'd care about you? Humph!"
"But why now..." The old man leaned forward and glanced at the sky, muttering, "This is not right. This shouldn't be the case."
Having said that, he was extremely careful in his movements. Looking at the unconscious Qu Chengjing, he sighed slowly.
With a wave of her hand, she disappeared with him.
…
At this time, Lily, who was brought to Qianshan Sect by the so-called "immortal" Baili Qing, suddenly vomited blood without any warning.
Baili Qing was frightened by the blood. After all, he had developed some feelings for Lily over the past few days, so he was naturally worried when he saw Lily like this.
"What's wrong, Ying'er? Is there something wrong with your practice?" Baili Qing hurriedly supported Shui Ying and helped her wipe the corner of her mouth.
That’s right, Lily changed her name on the first day she arrived at Qianshan Sect, and regarded the name Lily as a shame and taboo.
Baili Qing didn't care what her name was, and assumed she'd always been called Shuiying. As for the others, they didn't recognize her at all. Lily slowly shook her head, forcing a smile. "I'm fine, my husband, don't worry about me. I might have been distracted during my training."
Seeing that she was so sensible and gentle, Baili Qing couldn't help but feel more distressed. He touched her head gently, and for a moment, there was a sense of beauty of love between a man and a woman.
"Husband~" Lily called Baili Qing in a tender voice, which seemed to be a little angry, but her smile became sweeter and sweeter.
After a long while, she seemed to have just remembered and said anxiously, "My husband, aren't you supposed to discuss important matters with the elders? Why are you distracted here again? My husband, why don't you go over there quickly, or the elders will be angry again."
Baili Qing disagreed, "Nothing, just waiting for a few more incense sticks to calm down."
"Then go quickly, or someone will criticize me again~"
As soon as Baili Qing left, Lily couldn't wait to close the door and seal the entire room tightly with needles, then she carefully cast a spell to contact her grandmother.
"Grandma, didn't you say that the secret technique has no harm? Why did I suddenly vomit blood today?" Lily asked anxiously.
The old woman opposite, whose face was full of wrinkles and looked like dry tree bark, remained silent for a long time and did not give any specific answer.
"Grandma?" Lily spoke again.
The old woman then slowly asked if anything special had happened.
After Lily denied all of her questions, she spoke again, "Have you dealt with that woman in the mortal world?"
Lily's face was filled with disdain as she pouted coquettishly, "Grandma, you're overthinking it. What kind of trouble can she possibly cause? She might be lying in some old man's bed right now!"
But after glancing at her grandmother, she quickly skipped over the word "old man," or more accurately, the word "old," and explained, "When my husband brought me back, she was already a nobody. She even wanted me to take her with me, but my husband slapped her away. Not only am I injured, but my face is also probably ruined."
In her last look before leaving, she saw a bloody patch on her forehead.
As she said this, she raised her face proudly, waiting for her grandmother's praise.
But the old woman simply said "hmm" and began to ponder again.
"She has many merits and virtues, and her destiny is rare and will rise step by step. Even if you have replaced part of her destiny now, she still cannot be underestimated." The old woman frowned when she said this, as if she had encountered some difficulties.
Of course, with a face like hers, even without wrinkles, there are still deep lines on it, and she hardly looks like a human being.
But she continued, "But Grandmother will help you. In that case, you should stop paying attention to her affairs from now on. Just pretend she doesn't exist. Grandmother will have someone keep an eye on her."
Luck is something that ebbs and flows. Since her fate was borrowed by her granddaughter, she was naturally destined not to have a chance to turn things around.
This was her plan for hundreds of years, the only hope for her entire family, and the hope of the Hele Sect, and it must not be lost.
If that person couldn't die right now, she really wanted to cut him into pieces and place them in different places.
Merit, luck! Heaven is unfair, Heaven is unfair!
The old woman touched her face, which was as dry as a dead tree, and felt more and more sad.
The luck and destiny that you can grasp are called lucky, and the opportunities that you cannot grasp belong to others.
Man can conquer fate, she has never believed in fate!
"But Ying'er, you must remember to maintain your previous personality and habits in Qianshan Sect. You are not allowed to reveal even a single flaw, and you are not allowed to have any connection with our Hele Sect. At least not now! Remember! There cannot be even a single mistake! Otherwise..."
The old woman had a sinister smile on her face, and her eyes were full of ferocity.
"You actually know what happened to those cauldrons, right?"
Lily's eyes were flustered for a moment, and a hint of disgust flashed across her eyes, as if she had thought of something extremely dirty and disgusting, but she quickly returned to normal, acting innocent and lovely.
She didn't respond to her grandmother's words, but only said obediently that she would definitely follow Mudan's private behavior. She had learned all these years, and it wasn't in vain.
The old woman nodded in satisfaction.
"Be good, I'm doing this for your own good."
Lily nodded quickly, indicating that she understood and was willing to do it. After all, she had witnessed the tragic deaths of her parents. Her grandmother was not dead, but her condition was actually worse than death to her. It was disgusting!
Some other cultivators may also have an old appearance, but that may be because they simply like it or started practicing late, but her grandmother is not like that.
So she really enjoys stealing other people's fate.
But at the same time, she really hated and looked down on that idiot Mudan from the bottom of her heart!
