Chapter 211 Who is blushing?
So Dongfang Qi forced himself not to look at her, sat at the table and tried hard to eat, and actually ate three vegetarian buns, two fried dough sticks, a bowl of rice porridge, and a serving of mixed noodles in one breath.
When Lin Qingyue turned around, the table was completely empty.
She couldn't help but frown. "Dongfangqi, your appetite has increased. I was just thinking that it might be too much, so I planned to take some food on the way."
Dongfang Qi was a little embarrassed: "I was distracted and didn't notice that I ate too much. Uh... I feel a little full."
Lin Qingyue: “…”
"I can understand being distracted while eating, but I really can't understand how being distracted can lead to overeating."
Dongfang Qi took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth: "I can't understand it either, but... things have come to this, you should just forget about it."
Okay, I'm feeling pretty uncomfortable now, but I'm not thinking about any more random things.
Dongfang Qi was about to pay when Lin Qingyue suddenly asked, "By the way, what good dream did you have last night?"
So the beautiful dream that had been suppressed once again filled my mind.
Dongfang Qi hurriedly turned around and said something else: "Um...should we buy some food before we leave?"
Lin Qingyue said, "Dongfang Qi, why are you blushing so shyly?"
"Who, who is blushing?"
"Don't pretend, you have cold white skin, and it's very obvious when your face turns red."
"Oh, then it might feel a little hot. With my hair down, it does feel a little hot."
"Your hair is wet." Lin Qingyue smiled, "Actually, I can guess what you dreamed about."
"You...you...can you guess?" Dongfang Qi was inexplicably flustered. He picked up the teacup and tried to relieve his tension by drinking water.
——Did my behavior just now reveal something?
Then Lin Qingyue said, "Remember when you first came out of the Scarlet Shadow Land and were unconscious for several days? You must have had a very deep dream while you were unconscious, right? So I guess your dream last night was the same as last time."
Dongfang's hands shook so much that he could hardly hold the teacup.
She actually guessed it! She must have let it slip when she said something she shouldn't have said in her dream last time!
It’s over, it’s over. Now Yueyue will know that I am a dirty and lustful villain!
He was about to explain in a panic, but Lin Qingyue comforted him, "It's okay, don't be shy. This is human nature."
Dongfang Qi was stunned: "So you... are not angry?"
"Why should I be angry? It's normal for a child to miss his mother. It's nothing to be ashamed of."
Lin Qingyue consoled him seriously, "Your status is special, and you're often not allowed to express your emotions. But you're still a person, and you grew up little by little from a child. It's nothing to be embarrassed about, baby, missing your mother."
She looked at the man in front of her with a sincere face: "I can understand you. You are a man who values friendship and loyalty, and a filial and good child. I think your mother would be pleased in heaven."
Dongfang Qi: "No, I..."
Lin Qingyue blinked her innocent eyes: "Could it be that I guessed wrong?"
Dongfang Qi sighed resignedly, "No, you're right."
The old turtle's voice suddenly floated out from under the umbrella: "That's not right, last night's dream was so clear..."
Before he could finish, Dongfang Qi held the umbrella cap and said, "Don't speak carelessly during the day when there are many people around. If someone notices something strange and spreads the news to the Guiyuan Sect, things will be very difficult to handle."
"But……"
"Don't you want to save the people of Long County and watch them continue to be ignorant?"
"Then I..."
"Shut up."
Shut up, old turtle.
Instead, Lin Qingyue looked over with suspicion.
Dongfang Qi smiled awkwardly, "Old man, you're really long-winded. By the way, what did you dream about last night?"
So, Lin Qingyue also shut up.
It was understandable that she dreamed of Ah Zhuo, but if Dongfang Qi knew that she had confused the two of them in her dream and done all kinds of absurd and romantic things, then her reputation as the Immortal Venerable Qingyue would be completely lost!
The two stopped talking about the dream at the same time, and thought at the same time: Looking at the old turtle's appearance, could he possibly be able to glimpse the content of the dream?
"We have to send the old turtle away first!" they said in unison.
The old turtle shivered under his umbrella. "Did I offend you? Why are you sending me away so suddenly? Where are you sending me to?"
Dongfang Qi lowered his voice and said, "Didn't I say I would help you get rid of your obsession and send you to reincarnation?"
Lin Qingyue was also afraid that he would say something else: "Alright, stop talking and just stay under the umbrella."
Unfortunately, there is no way to get rid of the old turtle for the time being.
The main thing is that Dongfang Qi later found out that the county magistrate who framed Lao Gui had been transferred to the capital of Guifang Kingdom: Luocheng.
The headquarters of Guiyuan Sect is now also in Luocheng.
Fortunately, the old turtle didn't talk nonsense again during the rest of the journey. He did mention that he would give them a little more dream light.
But they both refused.
Dongfang Qi no longer wanted to indulge his desires and defile the goddess in his heart.
Lin Qingyue was afraid that she would indulge herself too much, develop inner demons and delay important matters.
After walking for another five days, the two arrived in Luocheng.
Luocheng is an oasis in the heart of the desert, rich in camels. Merchants traveling north and south would rest and buy camels here. Over thousands of years, it gradually became a city, and the city later developed into a country.
The Guifang Kingdom was originally a small country in the Western Regions with mediocre strength.
Until more than a decade ago, with the growth of Guiyuan Sect, the Guifang Kingdom continued to expand outward. After annexing several small countries, it gradually developed into the hegemon of the Western Regions.
Because of the great benefits, the Guifang Kingdom adopted Guiyuan Sect as its state religion and promoted it extensively.
When selecting officials in the court, the first requirement is: to believe in the great god Guiyuan.
Under this kind of atmosphere, in just over ten years, Guiyuan Sect had penetrated all over the country.
However, as the capital, Luocheng's infrastructure was actually very poor.
Low earthen houses can be seen everywhere, and even the imperial palace is so simple that it is not as good as the house of a minister of Qi State. It does not look like what a royal city should have.
Most of the people wandering the streets were dressed in rags, with haggard faces and dull eyes. They mechanically clasped their hands together and muttered something.
The content of the chanting is nothing more than: "I have sinned, may the gods eliminate my sins, save me from suffering, and take me to the paradise!"
Or perhaps: "Thank God for the gift of life, sunshine, and rain... I dare not be greedy, I don't expect too much. I have already obtained endless happiness..."
