Chapter 137 Woman in White
At this moment, the street vendors also heard their conversation and all looked at the long-lost prince.
A kind old woman waved to Cen Feng and smiled, "Young Prince? Come and have a piece of lotus root flower sweet cake!"
"Grandma, I've grown up..."
Cen Feng was about to refuse, but then he remembered that Ye Luo loved sweets, so he said, "Grandma, please wrap some up for me. I want my junior brother to try some!"
"Okay!"
Upstairs in the inn.
Ye Luo woke up groggily and looked around but couldn't see Jun Yi. Then she seemed to hear Cen Feng's voice, so she opened the window and sure enough, it was him. "Fifth Senior Brother!"
"Hey, junior brother, you're awake! I was saying I'd come find you guys later!" Cen Feng said, holding up a lotus root flower candy cake. "Look, I bought this for you!"
Ye Luo swallowed hard a few times, then exclaimed happily, "Quick, quick, bring it up for me to eat!"
"good!"
Cen Feng turned to the guards beside him and waved his hand, saying, "You should all go back to the palace. I want to spend some time with my senior brothers."
"Your Highness, but..."
"This is the capital city. I'm a cultivator, what could possibly happen to me? I'll explain to my mother!"
"Yes, sir."
When Cen Feng saw that those tagalongs had finally left, he breathed a sigh of relief. With them around, he felt uncomfortable doing anything.
Inside the room, Ye Luo ate the pastries he had brought her with gusto, quickly consuming quite a few.
Cen Feng: "I left in a hurry and forgot to bring you food from the palace. Is this enough?"
Ye Luo stuffed her mouth full, "That's enough!"
"Will you all come with me to stay at the palace later?"
Ye Luo: "I'll leave it to you. Let's see what Third Senior Sister and the others have to say."
Cen Feng: "Okay! I'll go find Third Senior Sister and the others first. I'd like to take her to see other places."
"They live in the two rooms next to mine. Go and see if they're awake yet."
Cen Feng nodded and had just stepped out when he saw Feng Yue returning from outside. "Fourth Senior Brother, where have you been so early in the morning?"
"No, I didn't go anywhere..."
Feng Yue stood by the window, watching the convoy of the Huan Yin Sect members drive away down the street, and felt a pang of disappointment.
I originally intended to bring him breakfast in the early morning, but I found that the disciples of the Illusionary Sound Sect had already come into the city to take him back to the sect, so I could only slink back.
Cen Feng pounded on Yu Qianling's door, shouting, "Third Senior Sister! Third Senior Sister, get up!"
A moment later, Yu Qianling, seemingly unable to bear it any longer, roared with his tousled red hair, "If you knock on me again, I'll cripple you!"
Cen Feng shrank back and chuckled dryly, "Third Senior Sister, I'll take you shopping in the capital! I've even arranged for you to dance and sing later!"
"Oh, really! Wait a moment!" Yu Qianling said, then slammed the door shut, leaving Cen Feng and Feng Yue outside.
"You guys go have fun... I'm not going." Feng Yue said, trying to disappear into the room, but Yu Qianling, who had run out, grabbed him. "No, you need to get this fear of people sorted out!"
At this moment, Ye Luo, who had finished getting ready, came out and said with a smile, "That's right, Fourth Senior Brother, I also think you need to try to adapt."
Otherwise, if he really becomes the Demon Lord in the future, wouldn't this timid and cowardly demeanor make him a disgrace to all previous Demon Lords?
Ye Luo and Yu Qianling exchanged a glance, then each of them supported him on either side, chuckling as they said, "Let's go!"
at the same time.
In another room, Du Jiaoxi was lying on the bed causing all sorts of trouble, making Shi Yi suffer terribly. "I don't want to eat this anymore!"
"..."
"Didn't you just say you wanted to eat eggs?"
"I want sweet and sour eggs, not boiled eggs!!"
Shi Yi was speechless. This woman had changed the menu seven or eight times since early morning, making him run around and struggle. "No way, this is what we're having for breakfast!"
"snort!"
"Okay, I'll go get it for you..."
Du Jiaoxi smiled and urged, "Okay, then hurry up!"
Shi Yi saw the smile on her face, turned around, and strode out of the room.
Du Jiaoxi was lying on the bed, humming a little tune leisurely, when she suddenly heard the door open and asked, "You're back so soon?"
"You seem to be quite relaxed."
Upon hearing this, Du Jiaoxi's face turned pale. She sat up abruptly and looked at the white-clad, veiled woman in front of her. She immediately slid off the bed and knelt on the ground, respectfully saying, "Master... Master, why have you come?"
"I heard you were injured, and I happened to be running errands nearby, so I came over."
"Thank you for your concern, Master. I am much better now."
"Indeed, otherwise how could they have the mind to talk about love?"
Upon hearing this, Du Jiaoxi stiffened, bowed her head to the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "Master, I... I was just teasing him, I didn't develop any feelings for him..."
"Oh, really?"
"Yes, that simpleton is easy to control..."
The woman in white glanced at her with cold eyes and asked, "How is the matter I asked you to investigate at Qingyue Sect progressing?"
"We've made some progress, but I still need some time to get the full details..."
"Still haven't found anything?" The white-clad, veiled woman's voice was slightly cold. "In all these years at Qingyue Sect, have you actually put any effort into your work?!"
"Master, please calm down!"
The atmosphere in the room instantly froze. Du Jiaoxi knelt on the ground, trembling, "Master, please give your disciple some more time..."
Suddenly, footsteps approached from afar. The woman in white, her face veiled, frowned slightly. "I'll give you a few more months, or you'll suffer the torment of the cursed mark."
"Yes, yes..."
The door creaked open, and Shi Yi walked in carrying a bowl of sweet and sour eggs. He saw Du Jiaoxi kneeling on the floor. "What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing... I just wanted to get out of bed and walk around, but I lost my balance and fell."
Shi Yi put down the tray he was carrying, picked her up and placed her on the bed. Seeing that her face was extremely pale, he asked, "Let me see if you hurt your knee?"
"No need, there's a thick layer of carpet on the ground, I'm fine..."
"Alright, then hurry up and eat." Shi Yi picked up a plate of sweet and sour eggs, picked up a piece and held it to her lips, urging, "Try it and see if it's good?"
Du Jiaoxi looked up at him and suddenly felt a lump in her throat. She opened her mouth, ate a piece of food, and swallowed it.
"How about it?"
Du Jiaoxi pursed her lips, though she didn't actually taste anything, so she forced a smile and said, "Mmm, delicious."
"Then eat more!"
Du Jiaoxi ate bite by bite, when suddenly her eyes filled with tears, which slid down her cheeks like beads, startling Shi Yi.
This was the first time he had ever seen her cry like this in all the time they had known each other.
"Xiaoxi, what's wrong with you?" Shi Yi's anxious, rough fingertips gently wiped away the tear stains on her cheeks. "Is something hurting you?"
Du Jiaoxi hugged his neck tightly and said haltingly, "No... it's just too delicious... so delicious I want to cry..."
"..."
Shi Yi patted her back gently and stammered, "Then...then in the future...if there's a chance, I'll cook for you, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Du Jiaoxi's face froze slightly, and she closed her tearful eyes, "Mm!"
