Chapter 129
The blue sky is endless, and a spiritual boat is flying in the blue sky.
In the cabin, a white jade plate lit up, guiding the spirit boat forward.
03 Sitting upright at the small table.
The smooth arms beneath the rolled-up green sleeves are as white as jade and snow, with clean and sharp lines winding upwards, outlining a delicate arc at the wrist, and all the way up to the outline of the bony palm.
While meticulously crafting, he held a slender brush in his hand, the wolf-hair tip dipped in thick ink, and carefully drew a stroke and then a horizontal hook on the paper.
Horizontal stroke and vertical stroke.
A graceful character "Phoenix" was written on the paper.
It’s really well written!
03 He held the brush and admired it for a while, then spent a little longer writing the word "jue" next to the word "feng".
marvelous!
03 Her head was filled with thumbs-up and flowers, and she thought that her writing was so good that it was time to reward herself. So she changed to a red brush, drew a heart on Feng Jue's name, and began to write freely.
Outside the cabin.
Feng Jue stood alone, gazing at the black tortoise in the distance.
The wind blew up her red skirt, making it flutter in the wind.
Today, thick clouds cover the sky, forming a sea. The black tortoise carrying the mountains and the sea slides its limbs in the sea of clouds, opening its mouth to swallow clouds and spit out mist.
03After the painting is completed, scan the work into the file first, then pick it up carefully.
"Feng Jue, look!"
Feng Jue turned around and looked down. Her cold eyes showed warmth when she saw 03 with a pink heart on his head. She looked at 03's masterpiece.
The word "Feng Jue" was written quite well, surrounded by a pink heart that was larger on the left and smaller on the right. Next to it was a bunch of red flowers of different sizes, and a red, gooey thing - "Butterfly?" Feng Jue pointed at the ball of red ink.
"It's the Fire Phoenix." 03 said seriously.
I see.
Feng Jue encouraged calmly, "There are indeed some similarities."
They are all red.
"This, is it you?" Feng Jue pointed at the round ball next to the "Fire Phoenix".
"These are the jade beads from the treasure box we found." 03 gave a thumbs-up and said, "This painting records our hard work and efforts along the way, as well as the final result!"
I see.
"This is Liushui Mountain and the monkey group." Feng Jue pointed to the ferocious "Y"-shaped forest next to the red ink ball, and the "Z"-shaped forest below.
"That's right!" 03 nodded and sighed, "Feng Jue and I have a telepathic connection."
Spiritual
Xi's Feng Jue said calmly, "This painting is so vivid and lifelike!"
03 "poof" bubbles popped out, and the balls in the bubbles had starry eyes and red cheeks. 03 was happy and said in surprise: "Feng Jue, it turns out you can also fart."
What?
Feng Jue immediately showed a look of disgust, thinking that this was not a good word.
"Where are you?" Feng Jue admired 03's paintings and asked seriously. She couldn't find the black ball.
03 curved his eyes, pointed at the circle around him and said with a smile: "This is me, it represents me and my eyes. Feng Jue and I have always been together. Everything that happened to you was seen by my eyes and remembered in my heart."
The wind around them grew stronger, the sound of the wind blowing in her ears, as if it could cover up Feng Jue's heartbeat. She looked at the strange things in the painting and curled up the corners of her mouth. This person always casually said words that made her heart beat faster and made her feel loved. Because of this, no matter what dangerous road lay ahead, she was not afraid.
"Feng Jue, this is today's gift, for you." 03 folded the painting and held it in both hands to Feng Jue.
Feng Jue stood up straight and also stretched out his hands to receive the gift.
At this moment, a very light and low voice suddenly came from behind him, and then a strong wind blew, rolling up the drawing paper in 03's palm.
"Feng Jue's painting!" 03 hugged Feng Jue and looked at it in surprise.
The culprit behind the wind, a massive black turtle, had approached and landed in the clouds. It stretched its neck, staring at them with the black eyes on its massive head. The spirit boat in the sea of clouds was no bigger than a spot on its skin.
Feng Jue was protected by 03, and his head bumped against her shoulder. He tilted his head to glance at Xuan Gui and said unhappily, "You are the one with these big eyes. You have a good sense of vision."
But why did the black turtle stop?
"Junior Sister Feng, Junior Sister." A gentle voice came from the top of the black tortoise. The two looked up and saw a woman in white holding a scroll and looking at them with a smile. There was a piece of white drawing paper in her hand.
Senior Sister Lanzhi.
Unexpectedly, the first person he met when he returned to Wendao Academy was her. Feng Jue's mind was in turmoil, but he remained expressionless and replied with a smile, "Senior Sister."
She took 03's hand and wanted to fly to Lanzhi's side, but 03 suddenly said, "Please wait a moment."
03 He opened the storage ring, picked and chose, and suddenly threw a huge spiritual beast forward.
As soon as the spirit beast appeared, it fell to the ground. The black turtle that had been waiting beside the spirit boat suddenly fell down, bit the spirit beast, and swallowed it into its mouth in three or two bites.
"It's really harder to raise than Lingshi." 03 sighed.
Being Xuan
The wind from the falling turtle blew up the long-haired Phoenix Technique: "..."
Lan Zhi, standing on the black turtle's head: "Ah..."
After Feng Jue dragged 03 in, she smiled and said, "The black turtle usually absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and it is rare to see it hunting spiritual beasts. I didn't expect that Junior Sister would come to feed it on a regular basis."
Feng Jue thought to himself: I had never thought of that either.
03 curved his eyes and said, "When my friends and I were exploring the academy, we wanted to know if it would eat spirit beast meat. We even made a long fishing rod and hung meat on top of its head to test it, afraid it wouldn't see. We also used spirit poems as bait."
Phoenix Secret: “…………”
I am even less clear about this.
While she was practicing diligently, what were you doing?
Her fists were ready to move.
03 said seriously: "Experiments have proven that the Black Turtle won't eat Fire Rock Dragon. Perhaps the Fire Rock hurts its mouth. It also won't eat Water Dragon Song. Perhaps Water Dragon Song is an illusion and only smells like weapons. It also won't eat the flesh of live spirit beasts. We need to kill them and feed them to them."
She put her hands on her belly and laughed, saying, "What a lazy black tortoise!"
Feng Jue and Lan Zhi fell silent at the same time, looking down at the black tortoise that carried the Wen Dao Academy day and night, speechless. Feng Jue calmly asked Lan Zhi, "Senior Sister, did you come here specifically to greet us?"
"Yes, today I was sweeping the inner hall of the academy when I saw the life tablets of my two junior sisters hanging in the hall vibrate. I knew you were near the Wendao Academy, so I came out to wait for you." Lan Zhi returned the rice paper in her hand to Feng Jue and led them to the academy. She whispered, "I was inspecting the northern border and only returned to the academy a year ago."
Having said that, she lowered her voice and asked the two of them softly, "When you were looking for the treasure box in Xilezhou, did you hear anything..." Lan Zhi hesitated for a moment, as if she was organizing her words.
Feng Jue glanced at her, his eyes gleaming as he smiled, "Senior Sister, are you asking us if we've heard anyone talking about our uncle?"
Lan Zhi pursed her lips and nodded.
"While I was traveling in the Northern Frontier, I overheard someone say that Master's cultivation was unusual..." She frowned and said worriedly, "I was patrolling the Northern Frontier and discovered a damaged formation. I wonder how many demonic cultivators have escaped and what they're plotting behind the scenes. If Master falls ill and the demonic cultivators take advantage of the situation, what should we do?"
Feng Jue saw that her worry was genuine and didn't seem fake. However, as Jing Xing's only disciple, he hadn't told Lan Zhi about his plan. Feng Jue lowered his eyelashes, curled his lips, and comforted her: "Sister, after all, Uncle is the number one person under the Heavenly Dao. Even if he is injured, he wouldn't dare to let the demon cultivators act rashly."
Lan Zhi sighed softly, her eyes filled with worry.
Qiang smiled and said, "Junior sister is right."
The two of them had their own thoughts in their minds and stopped talking. Only 03 smiled and flew slowly in the air. Occasionally, she saw beautiful flowers blooming in the forest and hurried down to pick them. When she came back, she found that Feng Jue had stopped to wait for her, so she hurriedly chased after him.
Wendao Academy dormitory.
"Jingxing" was not in his courtyard today. He was sitting in the pavilion outside the school, still playing chess with himself.
The black-tiled Mo Pavilion was built on the water, lotus leaves and pink water lilies floating on the surface. A wooden bridge pushed through the leaves and led directly to the pavilion. 03 looked carefully with his hands lowered, found a large, green lotus leaf, plucked it, and held it up. He trotted behind Feng Jue and held up a lotus leaf umbrella for her.
Feng Jue paused, looked back, and saw that her eyes were smiling, and her tense shoulders slowly relaxed. She looked back at the back of the person in the pavilion, her chest rising and falling slightly, and a calm and polite smile hung on the corners of her mouth.
Lan Zhi was the first to walk into the pavilion and bowed, "Greetings, Master."
"Jingxing" seemed to have just realized that someone was coming. He came back to his senses from the chess game and smiled at her.
Lan Zhi walked to the side and sat down. At this time, 03 and Feng Jue came over. Feng Jue saluted and said in a gentle voice, "Uncle Master."
03 Holding the lotus leaf, she bowed half a beat late. When she bent down, the lotus leaf hit Feng Jue's head, who had just stood up. Feng Jue hissed and reached out to snatch the lotus leaf from her hand. //This//work//by//
The two people in the pavilion couldn't help laughing at this little episode. "Jingxing" coughed lightly twice and motioned for them to sit down.
As he sat down, Feng Jue's peripheral vision quickly swept over Jing Xing. He smiled gently, his eyes a bit sickly, and he wore a gray robe. Judging by his demeanor and expression, Feng Jue half-thought that the divine soul he had revealed at Tiandi Temple after the demon-subduing wand had shocked the dark soul was a fake.
But there are thousands of falsehoods and hypocrisies in this world, but the golden light of merit and virtue cannot be faked.
03 She walked around Feng Jue and went to sit opposite Jing Xing. She looked down and saw that this side had black chess pieces, while Jing Xing held white chess pieces and was still playing against himself.
"Master Jing, would you like to play chess with me?" 03 asked with a smile.
Jingxing, holding the white chess piece between his fingers, was startled when he heard the words, then smiled and said, "Okay, I agreed to play chess with you before, but I was busy with trivial matters, so I will play chess with you today."
Feng Jue beside him said gently, "Master uncle is unwell, please don't make trouble."
"It doesn't matter." Jingxing said with a smile, "But we have to start over."
03 glanced at the clearly black and white chessboard, grabbed a handful of black pieces from the chess box, and said with a smile, "Go on."
"clatter."
The white chess piece falls, the jade-white chess piece falls on the wooden chessboard,
The moment he raised his hand, 03 put down a chess piece without blinking.
Jingxing said to Fengjue, "Go on."
Feng Jue said, "Reporting to Uncle Master, on this trip, Ling Ren and I each obtained a treasure chest. The treasure chest I found contained the red bead of the pine boy from Wangshan Peak, while Ling Ren was supposed to have obtained Master Xingya's treasure chest. However, by chance, he saved Xue Bufan, a disciple of the Sword Hall, and thus missed the treasure chest. To thank Ling Ren for saving his life, Xue Bufan gave Ling Ren the treasure chest he found."
"clatter."
"Jingxing" looked at the chessboard. Every time he made a move, the black chess piece would quickly follow without any thought. At this point in the game, every move should have been carefully considered, but Xi Lingren just made his move with a "click" as if he was fooling around.
But every step she takes is not a joke.
Jing Xing picked up the white piece, smiled slightly, and said to Feng Jue, "Well, you two are both happy."
Feng Jue also smiled and said, "Besides that, please let me know, Uncle Master, when I was searching for the treasure box in Xilezhou, the secret realm of Lanjie happened to be open. I was searching in the secret realm of Lanjie and happened to encounter a 'demon cultivator'."
Her emphasis fell on the word "demon cultivator." Jingxing's hand, which was about to make a move, stopped in mid-air. He suddenly turned to look at Feng Jue. He immediately understood who the demon cultivator Feng Jue was talking about. Lan Zhi, who was standing by, was horrified and looked at Feng Jue, "Junior Sister, is there anything wrong?"
Feng Jue shook his head and smiled, "Luckily, I had the phoenix collar that Ling Ren brought back from Pingjin City. It really was connected to my mother. After I injected spiritual energy into it, it transformed into a phoenix and drove away the evil cultivator. However, the evil cultivator hid his cultivation level and hid in the secret realm. Finally, the secret realm of Lanjie collapsed, and the evil cultivator took the opportunity to escape and disappeared without a trace!"
Having said that, she clenched her teeth, her eyes were cold, and she looked like she wanted to tear the demon cultivator into pieces.
Jingxing put down his hand and sighed, "Fortunately, you're okay."
"Hehe, the demon cultivator from Pingjin City could never have imagined that the thing she left behind would become a treasure to protect me!" Feng Jue smiled coldly and glanced at 03 calmly.
03 With his hands on his knees, he stared at the chessboard obediently, waiting for "Jingxing" to make his move, looking very patient.
Phoenix Technique: "..."
"It's a pity that Fan Zhi was damaged in order to protect me, so I sent him to Tiandi Temple to repair it." Feng Jue sighed.
"Jingxing" nodded, placed the piece he had been waiting to move on the chessboard, and waited for his 03's eyes to light up, then he immediately made his move and clapped his hands.
All the pieces she had just taken from the chessboard had been used up.
"Another round?" she invited with a smile.
"Jingxing" lowered his eyes, but the five-piece skills, the chessboard attacked
The defense reversed the situation, and the black chess pieces came from behind and gained the upper hand. The army pressed forward and quickly forced the white chess pieces into a dead end.
"..." "Jingxing" looked at the chessboard for a long time, threw the chess pieces in his hand onto the board, and said with a smile, "I lost."
"I call myself a chess fanatic, but I never expected to be defeated so completely by a junior. It's interesting, really interesting!"
Lan Zhi, who was standing by, stood up and looked at the chessboard. She exclaimed in surprise, "Master, your chess skills are superb. This is the first time I've seen anyone surpass you. Junior Sister, I've seen your swordsmanship, but I didn't expect you to be equally accomplished in chess. This is what a genius is."
03 put the chess pieces on the chessboard into the chess box and said modestly: "Yes, yes, I do."
Feng Jue coughed.
03 immediately said, "This is just one aspect of me that is not very humane. I am actually very good in other aspects as well."
"Ahem!" Feng Jue stood up, looked at the two people who had suddenly fallen silent, smiled slightly, and said, "Master, time waits for no one. Ling Ren and I have obtained the treasure box and would like to go to the Wen Dao Secret Realm to practice. Please give us the key, Master."
Jingxing pulled out two jade tokens from his storage, looked at 03, and said with a smile, "You've only been in the Imperial Academy for three years. Didn't you know I once said that if anyone beats me at chess, I'll grant them a favor? Lingren, today you turned the tables in just five moves, leaving me speechless. What do you want?"
Feng Jue lowered his eyes, and from beneath his long lashes, he turned his gaze towards 03. His heart suddenly tightened, fearing that 03 would make some strange request that would cause him to discover something was wrong. Unexpectedly, 03 said directly, "Before the assessment, you said that the disciple who obtained the Pine Boy's Treasure Box can cultivate in the Wen Dao Secret Realm for two years. Other cultivators who obtained the treasure box can only cultivate in the Wen Dao Secret Realm for one year. In that case, you can give me an extra year, and I will go in and out with Feng Jue together."
Feng Jue's heart immediately dropped to his stomach. He looked at 03 tenderly, his lips curled up. 03 gave Feng Jue a thumbs-up.
System, awesome.
Jingxing nodded, tapped his finger on the jade token, and said with a smile: "Okay, when you come out of the Wendao Secret Realm, play hand-to-hand with me and we'll have a showdown."
"Don't worry, you can't beat me." 03 said confidently.
"Jingxing" laughed out loud.
The two people who got the key walked out of the school. Feng Jue turned around and went to look at the mountain.
The smile on her face had long since disappeared, and she looked at 03 and shook her head slightly.
Jingxing had previously surrendered his cultivation to a lower level, but the power of a Mahayana cultivator was unfathomable. She didn't dare to discuss this with 03 in the Wendao Academy. She suppressed her inner thoughts and said with a smile, "Let's go, take me to see Song Tongzi first."
03's eyes lit up and he said:
I brought a gift for Song Tongzi!"
The mountain peaks are as deep as the sea and are shrouded in mist all year round, as if a fairy mountain in the clouds is located in a corner of the Wendao Academy.
03 gathered the local specialties and snacks she'd bought in the cities she'd passed through on her way to Xilezhou into two large gift boxes, carrying one in each hand as she climbed the mountain behind Feng Jue. Simply climbing the mountain was a bit boring, so 03 quietly opened the database. After a while, she said affectionately to Feng Jue's back, "I can't hug you when I pick up the gift boxes, and I can't give you gifts when I put them down."
Feng Jue: “……?”
She turned around, glanced at 03 with horror, and said in shock: "What are you talking about!"
It’s so strange!
"I adapted this love phrase. It's cold and interesting, isn't it?" 03 laughed, her silver hair swaying behind her. Today she was not wearing a hairpin to conceal her breath, but the ribbon that Feng Jue had given her before. The bell under the golden red ribbon rang crisply.
Feng Jue stared at her suspiciously, then stepped aside to let 03 go in front of her.
I better keep an eye on it, Feng Jue thought worriedly.
03 took long strides and walked in front of her, laughing to himself. He wanted to look back at Feng Jue, but Feng Jue said, "Watch the road carefully." He quickly turned his head away and asked with a smile, "Feng Jue, Feng Jue, do you know which animal is the most ferocious in the world?"
Animals, not spiritual beasts?
Feng Jue thought for a moment and said, "Tiger?"
"No, it's a gorilla." 03 narrowed his eyes, bubbles appeared on the top of his head, and he pressed the matchstick on his belly. The word "Kukuku" appeared on the top of his head.
Feng Jue asked in surprise: "Gorilla?"
Before she met 03, she had been to a secret place and seen animals there that she had never seen in Dongzhou. However, she never expected that such a black monkey-like animal that was not considered a spiritual beast was actually the most ferocious animal in the world.
03 quickly turned around to look at her and asked, "Feng Jue, please tell me why?"
Feng Jue: "Why?"
The bubbles above 03 spun around, holding up matchsticks and scattering flowers. "Because the gorilla hit its chest!"
The bubbles all roared and beat their chests.
Phoenix Secret: “…………”
Her foot stopped in the air as she was climbing the stairs, and she looked at 03 with disbelief, her expression changing from "What?" "What did I hear?" "Huh?"
03 and Bubble Union said at the same time: "Hahaha."
Feng Jue: "...Heh."
"Want another one?" 03 suggested enthusiastically. "It's called a brain teaser."
Feng Jue became interested and said, "Come."
Bubble system
He turned around, put on his referee's hat, and held up the scoreboard. "Feng Jue, please tell me, which animal is the quietest when angry?"
Feng Jue's eyes turned and swept across the nearby mountains and forests, "Ants?"
"No." Bubble raised the cross.
03 said: "Give Feng Jue another chance."
"turtle?"
"That's still not right."
Feng Jue stopped guessing and looked at Bubble Tong. Bubble Tong's eyes lit up and he threw away the scoreboard, "It's still the gorilla."
03 and Bubble turned back together, looked at Feng Jue at the same time, and said happily: "Because gorillas are quiet when they are angry!"
Bubble raised the matchstick and knocked on Zhuzi's chest with a "dong dong dong" sound.
Phoenix Secret: “………………”
"Hahaha!"
03's laughter echoed in the woods, but before he could finish laughing, Feng Jue silently rolled up his sleeves.
Feng Jue smiled slightly, looked up at 03 and said, "Didn't you say that humans are advanced animals? Gorillas beat their chests when they're angry, and I beat people's butts."
"Don't worry, when I'm angry, I'm sure I'll be quieter than a gorilla."
I'll beat your ass and you won't say a word.
oops!
03 turned around and ran, and Bubble was so scared that he waved the matchstick: Help!
Feng Jue swung out his long whip, and 03 leaped upwards to avoid the whip's shadow.
"stop."
"No, Feng Jue, I'm wrong, I'm wrong." 03 shouted while laughing, holding two big gift boxes in his hands.
Feng Jue sneered and chased after her, swinging his long whip on her footsteps, creating a ball of golden-red sparks.
When they reached the top of the mountain, 03 suddenly stopped and turned around. Feng Jue was chasing her very fast and he couldn't dodge in time and crashed into her arms.
"03 is wrong. Please don't be angry, Feng Jue." She lowered her head and touched Feng Jue with the tip of her nose. When Feng Jue snorted, she opened her mouth, licked Feng Jue's lips with the tip of her tongue, and flexibly pried her lips open.
Behind the clouds, the long-awaited pine boy heard voices on the wind. He walked out with mature and steady steps, his hands behind his back. Seeing the gift box in the hands of the guest carrying him, his eyes widened: "Since you're here——"
The sound stopped abruptly.
Song Tongzi turned around, raised his legs high, and walked back into the fog with mature and steady steps.
We will meet again in a quarter of an hour.
The pine boy heaved a sigh of relief, waved his hand to disperse the mist on the mountaintop, and invited the two to sit at the stone table under the pine trees. The table was piled with spiritual fruits he had picked up from the mountains.
"Thank you, that's very kind."
3 said politely, and put the fruits into the storage ring without hesitation. Then he picked and chose from the storage ring and placed the food packed from the human town on the plate.
Song Tongzi sat on the stone bench with dignity, his head just above the tabletop. He said seriously, "It's a pity Lingshi is not here."
03Looking at Feng Jue expectantly.
Feng Jue chuckled and opened her palm, and a ball of fire immediately appeared in her palm. However, she glanced at the angry Song Tongzi, clenched her fist, and the flame suddenly emerged from her fingertips, small and tiny.
Soon, the aroma of food and steam rose from the stone table. Feng Jue blew out the flame on his fingertips and looked at Song Tongzi, who had relaxed his body, softened his hair, and instantly become a head shorter.
She smiled slightly, took out a wooden box with a pine tree carved on it from her storage ring, and said to Song Tongzi, "Master, I found the treasure box you hid in Liushui Mountain. I have now received the reward from my uncle, but there is something I would like to ask for your advice."
Feng Jue opened the wooden box in front of Song Tongzi, took out the red jade bead inside, and asked Song Tongzi sincerely, "Master, do you remember where this red jade bead came from?"
Song Tongzi tilted his head, his emerald green eyes turned, and he fell into thought.
It frowned and said in a childish voice, "I really can't remember where this thing came from. It seems... is it a gift from someone?"
03 Imitating Song Tongzi's tilt of his head, he asked on Feng Jue's behalf, "Who is it?"
Song Tongzi's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. The pine tree behind him rustled. He raised his hand and knocked his head, saying with an embarrassed look, "I really can't remember."
"I am already a six thousand year old pine tree." Pine Boy sighed maturely.
Feng Jue was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it on his face. He smiled and said, "If you remember it someday, please tell me."
"Okay, I'll try my best to think about it." Song Tongzi nodded.
03 turned her head to look at Feng Jue, as if she understood why Feng Jue could always see through her thoughts. Although Feng Jue had a smile on his face, 03 felt that Feng Jue was not in a good mood.
She thought about it, her eyes lit up, and a "ding dong" sound came out of her mouth.
Feng Jue and Song Tongzi looked at her with confusion in their eyes.
03 also took out a wooden box from the storage ring and opened it. Inside the box were neatly cut milky white sugar cubes, emitting a rich milky aroma.
"I'll ask a question, and you answer it. Whoever answers it will get this box of candy as a reward." 03 said, first looking at Feng Jue, then at Song Tongzi, her gaze resting on Song Tongzi.
Song Tongzi's feet, which were not touching the ground, swayed, and he stood on the stone bench and nodded.
Feng Jue meets the pine boy
His eyes were bright and he was eager to try. He didn't want to spoil the fun, so he nodded in agreement. However, he gave 03 a warning look, asking her not to ask any more weird questions like "whisper"!
03 smiled, holding the nougat, and asked, "Among the dishes on the table today, if we were to have a staring contest, which one would hold out to the end and win?"
Than staring?
Feng Jue and Song Tongzi lowered their heads and glanced at the food on the table.
Three people, six dishes, both meat and vegetarian, full of the flavor of everyday life.
Feng Jue and Song Tongzi's hands simultaneously landed on a plate of steamed fish. Feng Jue spoke first, "Fish don't have eyelids, they can only stare blankly, so they will naturally win in the end."
Song Tongzi sighed because he was a step behind in giving the answer.
Unexpectedly, 03 shook his head: "No, please answer, Song Tongzi."
wrong?
Feng Jue frowned and glanced at the other five dishes.
Not expecting another chance to answer, Song Tongzi thought for a moment, then pointed to a plate of tender green vegetables and asked, "What is this?"
"It's stir-fried bamboo shoots." 03 replied.
Song Tongzi's eyes lit up and he said, "When bamboo shoots grow up, they become bamboo. Bamboo has nodes, and when you split it open, it's round and hollow, just like an eye. The bamboo wins."
"No." 03 continued to shake his head.
Feng Jue poured himself a glass of sake and sneered, "Don't keep us in suspense. Tell us your strange answer right away." Song Tongzi looked at 03 expectantly.
03 narrowed his eyes, picked up his chopsticks, picked up a fried shrimp and placed it on Feng Jue's plate, saying in a rhythmic manner: "This is the correct answer."
"Because shrimp—don't blink!"
The author has something to say
Work Log
Main System, Main System, did you know? Gorillas aren't in East Asia, they're in Africa.
Main system approval: Wow.
I'm going to change the scene where 03 and Feng Jue discover the remnant soul is Jing Xing at Tiandi Temple. It'll have Master Tianhui recognize the golden light of merit, and Feng Jue confirm it's the real Jing Xing. I'll just mention it here so you don't have to go back and watch it. Love it!
