As dusk fell, Du Heng was sorting the fruits and vegetables Jing Nan had sent him. He was in a good mood when he saw a basket of fresh fruits and vegetables in the snow. He found that he didn't recognize most of the fruits Jing Nan had sent him. He only recognized a few, such as tomatoes and cucumbers. Other than that, some of the spiritual fruits even emitted spiritual light, and he really didn't know how to eat them.
But don't underestimate a chef's passion for ingredients. Just take a bite of something you haven't eaten before! For example, this green fist-sized fruit looks like an apricot or an unripe tomato, and it's still hard when pressed. Du Heng took a bite and found that the fruit was juicy and sweet, so he ate one in one go.
For example, this fruit with soft thorns similar to rambutan. Du Heng peeled off the soft outer skin and got a piece of crystal clear jelly-like sweet and sour flesh.
Du Heng fiddled with the fruits and put them in the storage bag. He felt that the storage bag was more useful than the modern refrigerator. No wonder so many ordinary people wanted to cultivate immortality. Some equipment in the immortal world was really great. After packing up the fruits, Du Heng actually sweated a little. He remembered that he had not taken a shower since he came to the Taixu Realm.
Xuan Yu saw Du Heng leisurely boiling water, he asked in confusion: "What are you doing?" Du Heng said: "Boil some hot water, I want to take a bath." Xuan Yu said: "Come with me." Du Heng dropped the wood in his hand: "Okay."
It was already dark. Xuan Yu was holding a red lantern in his hand. He walked slowly in front. Du Heng followed him silently towards the luxurious palace in the middle. Xiao Xiao walked beside Du Heng. When he encountered weeds blocking the way, he jumped over the grass. Du Heng looked at the direction they were heading and asked, "Where are we going?"
Xuan Yu said, "Uncle Xiaoxiao's house has a magical spring, don't you want to take a bath?" Du Heng was stunned for a moment, and he whispered, "Didn't you say Uncle Xiaoxiao is not at home? Would it be bad if I used his hot spring?"
Xuan Yu said, "No, he doesn't need it normally anyway." As he spoke, the group stood in the side hall of the luxurious palace. Du Heng looked at the vermilion walls and golden tiles. Even in the dark, he could clearly see the bushes five meters away from the palace.
The door of the side hall slowly opened, and behind the door stood a row of maids in luxurious palace costumes, led by a gentle-looking female historian. The female historian stood at the door and saluted Xuan Yu, who said, "Use the spiritual spring." The female historian turned around and walked towards the road next to the side hall.
Du Heng looked at the maids standing side by side on both sides, and he whispered to Xuan Yu: "Why are there so many people in Uncle Xiaoxiao's palace?" Xuan Yu said: "They are not human, they are all puppets. Before you came, there were only four living people living in the whole village."
Du Heng looked at the maids. Sure enough, no matter how beautiful they looked or how submissive they were, they were not breathing. Even their expressions were the same. It was scary to see so many similar-looking and silent puppets in the middle of the night.
No wonder Xiaoxiao would rather roll into Xuanyu's shabby house than stay in such a luxurious palace. Du Heng looked down at Xiaoxiao, then reached out and picked him up. Xiaoxiao:? ?
But Xiaoxiao soon nestled happily in Du Heng's arms. Xuan Yu said, "This child really likes you." Du Heng touched Xiaoxiao's furry head and said, "I like him, too."
Du Heng has a little secret in his heart. He likes birds, no matter they are chicks, ducks or birds. When he was a child, his family raised geese, and Du Heng's favorite thing to do was to watch the geese eat grass. He likes to listen to the chirping of chicks when they are foraging, and he also likes the feeling of ducks and geese following people. But forget it when you grow up. If you still have feelings for them when you grow up, you will feel embarrassed to eat them.
Du Heng asked, "What's Uncle Xiaoxiao's name? He has such a big house, why does he still live in the village?" If he is so rich, wouldn't it be better for him to live in Lingxi Town? It would also save Xiaoxiao from having no playmates.
Xuan Yu said, "Feng Gui, Uncle Xiao Xiao's name is Feng Gui." Du Heng felt that the name sounded familiar, and he nodded, "So Xiao Xiao's last name is Feng? Does Xiao Xiao have a full name?"
Xuan Yu said, "Yes, her name is Feng Lin, the Lin in the world." Du Heng laughed and said, "So Xiao Xiao has such a domineering name. The last name is Feng, so he must be a great demon cultivator, right?" Xuan Yu looked at Du Heng, his eyes full of helplessness. Du Heng asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"
Xuan Yu shook his head: "Nothing, we're almost there." As they spoke, they bypassed the side hall, walked through the carved corridor, passed through the wide inner hall, and finally stopped in front of an octagonal pavilion with curtains hanging all around. There was white spiritual energy under the curtains, and the breeze brought the smell of warm water vapor.
The lady was standing outside the pavilion, and a white dress appeared in her hand. Xuan Yu took the dress and said to her, "Go down." The lady bowed and disappeared on the way she came.
Xuan Yu said to Du Heng, "You can take a bath inside, go ahead." He handed the white underwear in his hand to Du Heng, and Du Heng invited, "Xuan Yu, do you want to take a bath together?" Du Heng didn't know if it was an illusion, but he actually felt that Xuan Yu's cheeks were suspiciously red. Du Heng thought of the strange personalities of the demon cultivators, and he quickly changed his words and said, "If it's inconvenient, forget it."
Du Heng walked towards the pavilion with his clothes under his arms. He despised himself for not being able to change the modern concept. In modern dorms, it was normal for brothers to meet up to take a bath, but in the reserved world of cultivation, he didn't know what his behavior just now had become. What if Xuan Yu thought he was a dissolute person? How would he face people in the future?
After opening the curtain, Du Heng saw an octagonal platform on the ground. There were three steps, and the top one was wide and carved with auspicious cloud patterns. The entire ground was white and had a soft texture like jade. It was warm and comfortable to step on barefoot.
Du Heng thought that this was mainly because there was a spiritual spring in the convex platform. The spring water was shrouded in milky white mist, which was like a secret place that attracted people to enter. Du Heng looked around. From the outside, the pavilion was not big, but from the inside, it occupied a large area.
Du Heng looked at himself, who was covered in dust. He took off his clothes with embarrassment, and then stepped onto the platform like a pilgrim. He stretched out his feet with a pious heart. There were steps inside the platform. Through the clear water, he could see at least five steps under the water.
The water was warm, and he was about to step onto the first step in the water. At this moment, something strange happened. He thought the step was shallow, but it turned out to be surprisingly deep! Du Heng fell into the water without any preparation, and the warm spring water immediately submerged him. Du Heng: ??? Where is the shallow step?
Du Heng flopped to the side in a panic. He stepped on it and burst into tears. Big liar, the first step under the water is one meter high from the water surface and is not noticeable from above.
Du Heng had just stood still when he saw Xiaoxiao swimming back and forth in front of him: "Swish, swish, swish~" There was no doubt that Xiaoxiao had seen Du Heng's embarrassment just now. Du Heng wiped his face and said: "You didn't remind me." Xiaoxiao: "Swish, swish, swish~"
At this time, Du Heng heard the sound of water splashing. He turned around and saw Xuan Yu standing in the water with his upper body naked. Xuan Yu said seriously: "It's convenient." Du Heng was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
Du Heng: “???” Oh, I remembered, when he invited Xuan Yu just now, he said that it would be fine if Xuan Yu was not convenient, but Xuan Yu only answered him now. Du Heng almost laughed out loud, Xuan Yu was so cute when he was serious, it would be unfair not to bully such an honest man.
Xuan Yu looked at Du Heng's feet and said, "You're going in the wrong direction. You should come down from the southeast." Du Heng was stunned for a moment: "Is there any other explanation?"
Xuan Yu said seriously, "This is a spiritual spring built by a demon cultivator. The water depth will be adjusted according to the user. The water in the southeast direction will not be so deep." Du Heng's eyes lit up. Is there such a thing? He walked silently along the steps to the southeast. Sure enough, the water became shallower and shallower. When he sat on the second step, the water just did not reach his chest.
Du Heng began to rub his body. From the corner of his eye, he could see Xuan Yu leaning against the edge of the pool. This feeling was quite subtle. He couldn't help but look at Xuan Yu. Xuan Yu's figure was really amazing. It wasn't obvious when he was wearing clothes, but after taking off his clothes, he actually had eight abdominal muscles. Du Heng looked down at his body. Compared with Xuan Yu, the original owner was still a little thin.
Xiaoxiao was bathing happily in the pool, rolling around in the water like a yellow foam ball. After Du Heng finished scrubbing his body, Xiaoxiao floated in front of him. He lay on his back in the water, his furry feathers seemed waterproof. Du Heng reached out and rubbed Xiaoxiao's belly, which in turn made Xiaoxiao laugh.
Xuan Yu saw Du Heng having fun: "If you like, you can come and take a bath anytime. Feng Gui won't tell." Du Heng shook his head: "Forget it, I still have to walk back after taking a bath. I prefer the feeling of climbing into bed directly after taking a bath." Xuan Yu listened thoughtfully: "Is that so, I understand."
Du Heng felt that the soaking was almost done, so he picked up Xiaoxiao and said, "Xuanyu, I'll go up first." Xuanyu nodded but didn't mean to come up: "Okay."
Du Heng went ashore and put on his clothes. He found that the clothes fit him well, and the dirty clothes he had changed out of were gone. After leaving the pavilion, he saw the lady who had just left standing by the pavilion again. Du Heng said to her, "Thank you for preparing clothes for me."
The lady humbly bowed and said, "Lord Du's clothes were prepared by Lord Xuanyu." Du Heng was stunned for a moment. Did Xuanyu prepare them? Did he prepare them when he bought bedding for him? Xuanyu didn't talk much, but he was really attentive.
After a while, Xuan Yu finally came out of the pavilion: "Go back and rest." Du Heng followed his steps: "Okay." Xuan Yu had just taken a bath, with his hair scattered on his body, looking like an abstinent handsome man. Du Heng couldn't help but look at him twice more, and then began to despise himself again. He had looked at Xuan Yu too many times in the past few days.
When he returned to Xuan Yu's room, he found that Xiao Xiao had already laid a thick mattress on his bed. He hadn't seen the mattress before he started cooking, so he thought Xuan Yu must have helped lay it. Xiao Xiao chirped and rolled over to the bed. Xuan Yu stood at the door and said to Du Heng, "I'm next door, just call me if you need anything."
Du Heng waved his hand: "Good night." If he remembered correctly, there was nothing on Xuan Yu's side, right? How did Xuan Yu sleep?
Du Heng fell on the bed. There was a cool fragrance on the quilt, which was very similar to the smell of Xuan Yu. Xiao Xiao was already snoring happily and couldn't find the north. Du Heng quietly got up and walked to the door. He wanted to see how Xuan Yu slept.
As a result, Du Heng stretched his head and saw Xuan Yu sitting in the main room meditating: "Huh? Can't sleep?" Du Heng was embarrassed: "Haha, good night~"
He was really stupid. He didn't care whether Xuan Yu slept sitting or lying down. What did it have to do with him? He even peeked at him sleeping. His behavior was really like a hooligan.
