The sky was clear and the weather was fine.
Gingerbread was refining weapons in the courtyard when, not long after, someone spoke inside the house.
"Junior sister, I'm thirsty."
Even though Xie Yingnan tried to speak in a strained voice, she could tell that he was deliberately pretending to be weak.
"If you're thirsty, pour yourself some water!"
Bingbing was speechless.
Xie Yingnan slightly raised his chin, a hint of a smile on his face, and said, "I'm injured, so I can't fall down."
"You're injured, but it's not your hand that's hurt."
Gingerbread wasn't buying it; she continued to forge the silver ring by manipulating the strange fire in her hands.
"Junior Sister, you are so heartless. You were pulled out of Wuji Peak and then seriously injured in the Sword Tomb. We took great care of you and looked after you carefully."
"Now you won't even let me pour your senior a glass of water."
The peacock's chattering voice kept coming out.
Gingerbread sat up abruptly, muttering under her breath, "Always causing trouble! I give up."
He went inside and picked up the teapot.
“You said it yourself, it was ‘we.’ If I remember correctly, you kept testing me and even tried to kill me.”
Here's some water, drink as much as you want.
She shoved the teapot into Xie Yingnan's arms.
Xie Yingnan raised his chin, lifted the teapot high, and poured the water from the spout precisely into his mouth.
He lazily wiped his mouth after finishing his drink.
"Those were the days, but now aren't we in the same boat?"
"Whatever you say." Gingerbread pouted, her gaze shifting downwards to his exposed, honey-colored pectoral muscles.
I couldn't help but mock them.
"Senior brother, you're still sick, why are you dressed so lightly?"
Xie Yingnan gave him a look that said, "What do you know, you little brat?" and said, "Tsk tsk, my beautiful senior and junior sisters are coming to see me."
"There will be plenty of people to help me pour water then."
Gingerbread: "...a fickle black peacock."
After she said that, she turned and left.
Xie Yingnan shouted from behind, "Hey, how can you talk about your senior brother like that? You have no manners!"
"I'm heading out. You're due to move back to your own place this afternoon, otherwise your confidante's comings and goings will interfere with my weapon-forging. Elder Huang said your injuries are healed, stop pretending!!"
Gingerbread disappeared into the yard.
"You're getting fiercer and fiercer. Who dares to mess with you except Lin Jue?"
Xie Yingnan complained, but obediently got up and packed his things.
His junior sister is not someone to be trifled with now.
...
Gingerbread went down the mountain and visited Wanbaolou.
I bought black iron stone, gold crystal stone, and other materials needed for alchemy.
I also bought some talisman pens and talisman paper.
Just as they were about to head back home.
Street vendors hawk zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) in Taohua Town.
It's almost Dragon Boat Festival!
"Boss, twenty jujube rice dumplings, please." she said with a smile.
"Alright! Please wait a moment, miss."
The owner selling zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) had a friendly smile on his face and worked efficiently while bending over.
The cuffs were also very clean.
Gingerbread had a very good impression of this stall.
"Here you go, young lady, twenty sweet rice dumplings."
"Okay, how much?"
The woman smiled and replied, "Five low-grade spirit stones."
Gingerbread gave the woman ten low-grade spirit stones, and she thanked her repeatedly. She picked up the rice dumpling and smelled it.
A cool fragrance suddenly wafted into my nose.
Um?
Gingerbread paused for a moment, then immediately looked around.
There is no such person.
My rapidly beating heart gradually slowed down.
But that cool, refreshing fragrance was exactly the same as the scent on Fen Jue's body.
Could it be that she's imagining things?
With some skepticism, I rode my Firewing Dog back to Immortal Jade Peak, and as soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by the strong aroma of snail rice noodles.
"Bingzi, you're back?" Li Dapu leaned on the edge of the table, on which were ten bowls of snail rice noodles.
"?"
What are you trying to do?
Is Luosifen (river snail rice noodle) holding a major conference?
She asked, "Are you hosting a snail rice noodle dinner?"
"Hehe, you really know how to tell jokes." Li Dapu waved his hand, "Come over and try which bowl is better. I've been researching and improving several versions recently."
Little Yellow ran away as soon as it smelled the aroma.
Chou Chou seemed to like it, circling around the table.
Gingerbread picked up the small bowls, first scooped a mouthful of soup from each bowl and drank it, then tasted a small sip from each.
"I prefer this flavor."
She pointed to the third bowl on the left and said.
"Alright!" Li Dapu burned two communication talismans. "Tell Tie Nan and Qing He to come over and have a taste."
What do you want to do?
As Jiang Bingbing sat at the table, a possibility came to mind: "You wouldn't be thinking of opening a snail rice noodle shop in the cultivation world, would you?"
"Yeah!"
Li Dapu straightened his back and envisioned the future.
"First, I'll open one store in Peach Blossom Town, earn enough money for a second store, and then expand outwards until my snail rice noodle shops are everywhere in the entire cultivation world. When I become a business tycoon in the Eight Desolate Continent, I'll have more money than I can spend! It'll be so awesome!"
"The ideal is very lofty."
Gingerbread encouraged him, saying, "Then keep it up. If I can't make it anymore, I'll work at your shop."
"Hehehe..." Li Dapu licked his lips and came closer.
She had a gut feeling that something bad was going to happen.
He jumped a long way in an instant.
"Let's talk this out. Don't look at me with eyes that are greaseier than lard!"
"I'm a little short on cash, can you lend me ten thousand high-grade spirit stones?" Li Dapu wiggled his butt shyly, "Please, please, I'll give you ten percent of the shares."
dislike!
Gingerbread didn't say anything.
Li Dapu thought she was unwilling, and awkwardly scratched the back of his head, trying to say something to save face.
The girl stood beside the flower bushes and said with a smile, "Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones is certainly possible."
Before Li Dapu could even be overjoyed.
