Chapter 60: Senior Brother Xuanji, let your hand take its course...
After they left the palace, Chi Yu finally saw how the ancient people celebrated the New Year.
First of all, it is lively. The streets and alleys are decorated with lights and spring couplets. The vendors are hawking their wares more vigorously, hoping to close their stalls and go home early.
Street performers also come out one after another. After all, it is New Year's Eve once a year, and people will have some extra money.
Chi Yu stood on the street and watched the fire-breathing stilt walkers for a while. When he was waiting for someone to come over with a copper basin to ask for a reward, he took out a piece of gold from his low-level storage bag and threw it into the copper basin. The uncle who was performing the show had bright eyes, and he bowed to him with his white teeth bared to express his gratitude. He also asked his son who was holding the basin to perform an impromptu sword swallowing show for Chi Yu.
Chi Yu was not stingy either. He took out another piece of gold from his storage bag and threw it into the uncle's copper basin.
However, Chi Yu couldn't resist the uncle's enthusiasm and ran away with Wu Yunsu in his arms.
Raven had an extremely beautiful face, so he had to wear a mask when he went out. No one would recognize him because he was wearing casual clothes. He had no interest in worldly things, and the same was true for Xie Xiyi. So the two of them stood by and watched these little ones running from one street to another, unknowingly picking up a lot of food in their hands, such as pancakes, candied haws, sticky candies, etc.
Du Yao said to Xie Xiyi, "Your junior brother has a rather erratic personality."
Xie Xiyi said indifferently: "Yeah."
Raven rubbed his chin and said, "He can't control my poison sac, so you shouldn't have given it to him. Refining it is one thing, but even after refining it, you have to be vigilant. If you're not careful, you could kill anyone around you. The poison is incredibly potent, and there's no antidote. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have been troubled by it for so many years. Our Majesty wanted to sleep with me, imitating the ancient sages, with our rulers and ministers touching each other's feet, but I refused, fearing that if I sneezed on him in the middle of the night, he'd be poisoned to death."
At this point, Raven sighed deeply. Because of this companion poison sac, he had missed so many opportunities to have close contact with His Majesty.
Every time Raven recalled the past, she burst into tears. "His Majesty asked me to bathe him and massage his shoulders, but I couldn't do it with gloves on, could I? He wanted to dine with me, but I couldn't bring my own bowls and chopsticks, could I? His Majesty and I wanted to ride in the same carriage, but I couldn't be fully armed, could I? One day, I fell asleep in His Majesty's bedroom, and when I opened my eyes, His Majesty was so close to me, his nose almost touching my face. I was so frightened that my heart almost broke."
Xie Xiyi: "..."
He really hadn't thought about it that much.
He just thought that the poison sac on the poisonous dragon was a very good thing, and when it came to such a good thing, he actually thought of Long Aotian first.
Now that I think about it, it was indeed inappropriate to give him this kind of thing.
The ball can't be used either -
However, you can always find someone who can be used.
Raven said, "You only want half of the venom sac. The remaining half is still a problem for me. It would be better to take both and save trouble."
Xie Xiyi said nonchalantly, "My junior brother was worried that you would lose your poison sac and wouldn't be able to continue using it, so he pestered me to exchange it for something else."
Raven felt warm in his heart and said, "Your junior brother is a good person. You should learn from him and stop always resorting to violence."
Xie Xiyi drew his sword and asked, "Want to die?"
Raven: "Wait wait, we're in the downtown area now, what do you want to do?"
Xie Xiyi returned the sword to its sheath and said slowly, "I can seal the remaining half of your poison sac, but you have to give me something else in exchange."
Raven's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but look him up and down in his contrasting eyes. He said, "You have so many secrets. You can create spiritual roots and seal my poison sac. But the secret of creating spiritual roots alone is enough for me to eat you to death. Do you dare to ask me for anything else?"
Many second-generation immortals do not have spiritual roots. This is because one of their parents is a mortal without spiritual roots. If this trick is leaked out, he will be doomed to have a hard time.
Xie Xiyi asked, "I haven't even given your Majesty the spiritual roots yet, and you're already threatening me?"
"..." Raven instantly became honest, "I'm just kidding you, you're too serious. We demons love to joke around."
Then he took the initiative to say, "Let's sign a contract when the time comes. If I reveal it, the thunder tribulation will be doubled, and I will die. Now you can rest assured, right?"
Xie Xiyi: "Think about what you can exchange with me."
Raven thought for a long time. As a great demon in the Nascent Soul stage, he didn't have much property - there was no other way. Cultivation consumed too many spirit stones. The independent cultivators who could cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage and the demons without family support were generally paupers.
He could only bite the bullet and say, "I'll trade my horn with you. My companion creature is a highly poisonous substance unique in the world. If my horn is ground into powder, it can dispel most poisons in the world, including all kinds of anger, hatred, the seven emotions, and the inner demon's poison."
Xie Xiyi said: "Okay, I want a pair."
Raven couldn't help but be shocked by his shamelessness. "You're going too far. I'll become ugly."
Xie Xiyi said: "You don't have to change."
Raven: “…”
The raven said, "Let me think about it."
Chi Yu returned with a full load of balls and said to Xie Xiyi happily, "Senior Brother Xuanji, you should have come with us. There are a few cultivators over there."
Xie Xiyi's lips curled up slightly, "What's wrong with the monk?"
Chi Yu said, "Those cultivators were also performing, using illusions. It was quite lively, and there were many people. I saw that they were in the Qi Refining Stage, so I rewarded them with a few low-grade spirit stones. They happily gave me a bouquet of flowers."
As he spoke, he took out a handful of rare trumpet creepers from behind his back. The snow-white petals were filled with a faint spiritual energy. It was a very delicate ornamental spiritual plant.
"Senior Brother Xuan Ji, this flower is for you." Chi Yu pushed the flower forward, her beautiful eyes flickering as she looked at Xie Xiyi, with a pure expectation and joy that Xie Xiyi didn't quite understand.
Xie Xiyi took it and said, "Without the adobe, it will wither tonight."
Chi Yu said: "But it is very beautiful."
Xie Xiyi said: "Beautiful things are as fleeting as time."
Chi Yu: "..."
Senior Brother Xuan Ji, you are a science and engineering guy, right?
Romantic Insulator (x
Xie Xiyi snapped his fingers lightly, and the icy cold air spread along the green flower stems. Soon, this bunch of trumpet creepers turned into a beautiful work of art.
Xie Xiyi curled his lips and said in a pleasant voice, "This way, I can keep it for many years. I'll take it."
After saying that, she put the flower into her wide sleeves.
"Hehe." Chi Yu grinned foolishly.
Xie Xiyi looked at him, "So happy?"
Chi Yu: “Yeah.”
He was happy that the person in front of him was not a villain, but his senior brother Xuan Ji.
Even if you give him a bouquet of worthless flowers, Senior Brother Xuan Ji will cherish it very much.
Chi Yu couldn't help but say, "Brother Xuan Ji, I really, really, really like you. You are the best brother."
Before Xie Xiyi could say anything, he heard Du Yao say, "You guys are so disgusting! Are all normal brothers and sisters like this? You're so clingy."
Chi Yu: "..."
No, you are my emperor all the time, so what qualifications do you have to criticize them?
Xie Xiyi asked, "Want to die?"
Raven: "Okay, I'll shut up."
*
They played outside until almost noon before returning to the palace.
As soon as we returned to the palace, firecrackers were set off outside and it was very lively.
But the palace was deserted and all the palace servants were very cautious and rarely talked to each other.
The raven replied, "Your Majesty is frail and sensitive, unable to sleep at the slightest noise. The four seasons in the Yu Dynasty are too distinct, and when summer arrives, the insects are so noisy that all the palace maids and eunuchs have to go out and catch insects."
Xiaoqiu said: "You can set up a formation."
Raven: "The formation is free?"
Xiaoqiu was surprised: "Are you so poor?"
Raven: “…”
As a great demon in the Nascent Soul stage, his total property is only 12 medium-grade spirit stones.
The demons and monsters he killed could be exchanged for money, but he had to prepare the elixir of immortality, so naturally he spent all of it.
He wanted to rob Ren Xiu, but he was afraid that if he beat the younger ones, the older ones would come. He had the heart but not the courage, after all, he had a lot of people behind him.
Xiaoqiu understood something from his silence and took out a medium-grade spirit stone from his pocket. "Poor thing, this is my New Year's money for you. It's not much, so keep it."
The raven laughed angrily, "How dare you, a brat, take advantage of me?"
Doesn’t he know that New Year’s money is given by elders to younger generations?
Xiaoqiu: "Don't want to? Forget it."
Pretend to pull back.
Raven reached out and snatched it away, "I want it."
Only humans care about face.
He is a demon, why would he need that thing?
As they were talking, they had already arrived at Xiao Jingyu's bedroom.
By his age, his parents and clan elders had long passed away. Several brothers who were crippled by him had surrendered themselves to the gods in exchange for their freedom. He even gave young boys and girls with spiritual roots to monks in exchange for several longevity pills that could extend his lifespan by a hundred years. He planned to have many children and send one to Xiao Jingyu as his adopted son.
Xiao Jingyu ignored it all.
Therefore, although it was a family dinner, there were only him and Raven, and there were a few more people this year.
Before Chi Yu and the others even entered the room, they heard Xiao Jingyu coughing. Raven quickened his pace and rushed in like the wind, "Your Majesty."
"Nothing." Xiao Jingyu's voice came.
"Your Majesty, you will feel better after drinking this bottle of medicine."
After drinking the medicine, Xiao Jingyu felt much more energetic. Seeing Chi Yu and the others, he smiled gently and said, "Several immortals, please take a seat."
Then he said, "Sanxi, send someone to serve the food."
The eunuch beside him said, "Yes."
Chi Yu had already attended a palace banquet once, and the food was indeed delicious. This New Year's Eve dinner was also very sumptuous. Even though Chi Yu had tried his best to avoid his appetite, he couldn't help but eat a few more bowls.
After eating and drinking, Xie Xiyi said, "Today is an auspicious day."
Raven understood, "Let's do it today then."
Xiao Jingyu reacted quickly and looked at Chi Yu.
Chi Yu turned his head away guiltily.
Of course he understood why Xiao Jingyu chose to confess to him. He wanted him and Senior Brother Xuan Ji to be the bad guys and break the contract, so that he wouldn't have to personally persuade Raven.
As a mortal, he knew very well that he had no right to say no to this matter which did not harm him.
As a great demon in the Nascent Soul stage, Raven could be so stupid that he was used by the emperor for decades to fight for him and inject cardiac stimulants into the people, but his strength was there, and as long as he was determined to do something, no one could stop him.
Unless they break the contract.
It's a very smart move, and I can only say that he is worthy of being the emperor.
Among all the people present, Xiao Jingyu was the only mortal. He had no way of refusing because he was the emperor. So he remained calm and unhurried. He simply asked, "How long will it take?"
Xie Xiyi said: "It will be soon, you can take a nap first."
Xiao Jingyu stood up, and the eunuch immediately stepped forward to support him, "Go to bed?"
Xie Xiyi said, "Yes."
They entered the bedroom. When Chi Yu and Raven were about to follow in, Xiao Qiu stopped them consciously, "Brother Aotian, you can't go in."
When Raven saw this, he couldn't help but laugh, "Your senior brother even hid it from you."
Chi Yu quickly reacted and said, "This is normal. I'm also hiding something from Senior Brother Xuan Ji. Everyone has secrets. This is normal."
Xiaoqiu said calmly, "It's not really a secret. It doesn't matter if you know it, Brother Aotian, but this is the rule, so I have to stop it for the sake of face."
Chi Yu laughed, "I understand, no need to explain so much."
Raven wanted to expand his spiritual sense to go in and take a look. After all, the spiritual sense of the Nascent Soul stage was much broader and deeper than that of the Golden Core stage. As long as he was careful, it would be difficult for the Golden Core stage to detect him.
However, just as his spiritual sense probed in, Xie Xiyi's voice came over, "If you spy again, the deal will be cancelled."
Raven: “…”
He quickly withdrew his spiritual sense, feeling very confused - how did he find out?
This man has too many secrets.
The raven was waiting outside the door obediently, but he couldn't help being anxious. He paced back and forth, muttering to himself.
Chi Yu listened and heard him chant, "It has to be a double spiritual root, double spiritual roots, Bodhisattva bless you, all the gods and Buddhas bless you, it has to be a double spiritual root, otherwise I can't afford it."
Chi Yu: "..."
Vision is a new father who paces anxiously in the delivery room.
But, didn’t you say before that you must have three spiritual roots?
Do you really think that his senior brother Xuan Ji is a wishing well?
Chi Yu was secretly complaining but he didn't show it on his face.
He was also very curious whether Senior Brother Xuan Ji could really produce spiritual roots.
After waiting for about an hour, Xie Xiyi opened the door and wiped his hands with a piece of silk cloth in one hand, "Okay."
Raven immediately rushed in, and soon, Chi Yu heard screams coming from inside, "Three spiritual roots!!! It's really spiritual roots!!! It's spiritual roots! Oh my God! Your Majesty! You can practice! Wake up! Smoke is coming out of the ancestral tomb!!"
As soon as Chi Yu entered, he saw Raven shaking the emperor's shoulders frantically.
Chi Yu: "..."
God is so fair. Although he gave Brother Raven powerful strength, he also took away his brain.
Chi Yu stepped back and couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for the emperor.
A bystander sees more clearly. Between the emperor and the demon dragon, the emperor is in charge of power on the surface, and the demon dragon is respectful to him, but in fact, the demon dragon is the one with actual strength.
After they left the palace, Chi Yu's five senses enabled him to hear what the emperor said to the raven after he woke up. "Lord Pei, if you keep shaking the raven, I will be able to go down to see the late emperor soon."
"Oh, I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I was too excited. Are you alright? Your Majesty, you should start practicing today. Although you only have three spiritual roots, it's not too bad. Your Majesty, with me here, I will definitely help you achieve the Golden Core."
The emperor said, "Don't worry, Pei Aiqing..."
Chi Yu couldn't help but say, "I hope all lovers in the world will eventually get married."
Xie Xiyi said, "What did you say?"
Chi Yu came back to his senses and said, "I hope that Raven and the Emperor can finally be together."
Xie Xiyi raised his eyebrows: "Are they lovers?"
Chi Yu: "...Senior Brother Xuanji, they are a couple. I guessed right."
Xie Xiyi said indifferently: "So what? What does it have to do with us?"
Chi Yu: "..."
That really doesn't matter.
However, "Senior Brother Xuanji, don't you have any curiosity at all?"
Xie Xiyi said coldly: "If it is beneficial to cultivation, I naturally don't mind having it, but these are of no use to cultivation. And you are too curious. With such concentration, it is better to use it on cultivation."
Chi Yu: "..."
You are worthy of being me, Senior Brother Xuan Ji!
Chi Yu said timidly, "I understand, Senior Brother Xuanji."
Because of the prince's upright character, Chi Yu would never doubt anything he did to him.
What was there to doubt? Chi Yu believed that Senior Brother Xuan Ji had no concept of that at all.
And that is indeed the case.
Because he had no idea, Xie Xiyi calmly proposed visualization that night.
"What? Take off clothes?" Chi Yu opened his eyes wide.
Xie Xiyi said tolerantly: "If you don't want to take it off, then don't take it off."
Chi Yu quickly said, "Ah...it's okay, I can take it off."
He was also a little shy out of youth. He was from the south and had never even been to a public bathhouse. Except for his parents bathing him when he was very young, he had hardly ever exposed his body in front of outsiders.
He pretended to take off his outer robe carelessly, pretending not to care, and asked Xie Xiyi nonchalantly: "Brother Xuanji, how much should I take off?"
Xie Xiyi thought for a moment and said, "Just expose your upper body."
Chi Yu took off her upper robe, and the belt was tied around her slender waist. Her top fell off and was blocked by the belt, piling up loosely around her waist, making her waist and abdomen look even more slender. However, such a slender waist and abdomen were covered with thin abdominal muscles, and her figure was very light and beautiful.
With the Cleansing Dust Technique, monks basically don’t need to take a bath to keep their bodies clean, so Chi Yu hasn’t looked at his body for a long time. Now when he looks at it, he is surprised to find that he actually has four abdominal muscles, with beautiful curves, not exaggerated nor weak, very healthy and beautiful abdominal muscles.
He couldn't help but feel happy. It was not embarrassing at all for him to have such a beautiful body!
Although he had good motor skills and often went out to play ball, his heavy workload always squeezed out his time for exercise. Therefore, before he traveled through time and space, the abdominal muscles on his waist and abdomen were just the result of weight loss and did not give him any sense of strength.
It’s different now. This is the result of his hard work and practice.
Xie Xiyi's golden eyes reflected his snow-white skin, his pupils slightly dilated, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up. He said, "Come here."
Chi Yu walked up to Xie Xiyi with a heroic and confident look, reached out and touched his abdominal muscles, and said to Xie Xiyi happily: "Senior Brother Xuanji, look at my abdominal muscles, aren't they beautiful?"
Xie Xiyi said indifferently: "What's so strange about this?"
Chi Yu was sometimes frustrated by his dullness. "Brother Xuanji, do you have any? How many do you have?"
Xie Xiyi said nonchalantly, "You can come and see for yourself."
Chi Yu's pupils trembled, "I can see it myself? How can I see it?"
Xie Xiyi asked, "Use your spiritual sense, right?"
Chi Yu: Is this still possible?
Learned.jpg
He extended his spiritual sense, passed through Xie Xiyi's robes, and saw Xie Xiyi's body under the clothes. Oh, there were eight pieces.
And it's fuller than his abdominal muscles, which is very beautiful.
Chi Yu did not feel inferior and thought naturally that it was normal. After all, Senior Brother Xuan Ji was taller than him and his shoulders were much wider than his. It was normal for him to have such a figure.
But the loose robes are really intimidating, and you can't see the muscles on Senior Brother Xuan Ji's body at all.
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly felt a pair of hands touching his skin.
Chi Yu looked down and saw Senior Brother Xuan Ji holding his waist with both hands, saying in a light tone, "So thin."
Chi Yu's waist was indeed very thin, and he still had the body of a teenager with a small frame. Even if he filled his hands, there was still some space left.
Chi Yu couldn't help but say, "Brother Xuanji, your hands are too big."
He had some itchy spots on his body, especially around his waist, but as it was such a serious matter, Chi Yu could only endure it and did not dare to disturb his meditation.
Xie Xiyi exerted a little force with his hands, and Chi Yu was pulled into his arms.
Chi Yu knelt between his legs and felt that they were extremely close. She could even feel Senior Brother Xuan Ji's warm breath.
The body temperature of monks is very high. After all, they have abundant true yang in their bodies. Being so close, after a while, Chi Yu could feel the temperature around him rising sharply, and his face became hot, as if he was in a steamer.
"You have pierced ears." Xie Xiyi suddenly said, "Only one side?"
Chi Yu reached out and held Xie Xiyi's shoulders to steady himself. After hearing what he said, he replied, "Yes, there's a saying in our place that if a boy gets his ears pierced, he'll be safe and healthy. My grandma took me to get my ears pierced."
Xie Xiyi smiled slightly, one hand covering his bare back, and the other hand took out a pair of earrings from his wide sleeves, "This is a birthday gift I wanted to give to my mother, but I haven't given it away yet. Since you have pierced ears, I'll give it to you."
Chi Yu looked down and saw a pair of round earrings inlaid with small round gemstones. They were very beautiful and had a very neutral design.
But his focus was misplaced, and he asked curiously, "Since it's a birthday gift, why hasn't it been given away?"
Xie Xiyi said, "No reason."
Chi Yu understood, this was what he meant by not wanting to say it.
It seems that there is some hidden secret, but since Senior Brother Xuan Ji doesn't want to say it, then he won't ask.
He was about to take the earrings, but Xie Xiyi retracted her fingers and threw the earrings back into her wide sleeves.
Chi Yu: "?"
Xie Xiyi said thoughtfully: "Since it can't be given away, it must be an unlucky thing. I will give you something better next time."
Chi Yu: “…Okay.”
Chi Yu: "Wait, Senior Brother Xuanji, your hand——"
He reached behind his waist and held down Xie Xiyi's downward hand, and asked in some confusion, "Senior Brother Xuanji, what are you doing?"
Xie Xiyi said: "I don't know, it just went down naturally."
Chi Yu: "..."
Xie Xiyi: "If that's the case, then let it be."
Chi Yu: “Hey——”
