Chapter 132 Leisure
Chapter 132 Leisure
After Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing left Wuwang City, they did not use the Ice Phoenix Demon Luan and the Swift Wind Eagle to hurry on their way, but walked slowly and leisurely on foot.
Sometimes walking down to earth is also a kind of practice for your state of mind.
Well, actually, the two of them just wanted to enjoy some time alone. Didn’t you see that Yan was thrown into the consciousness space?
"Let's take a break here at noon. I see there's a river ahead. Ayao, go see if there are any fish. I'll go look around for something to eat."
When Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao walked to a meadow, Nangong Jing saw that there were woods around and a stream in front, which was a good place to rest.
I've been walking for the whole morning and I'm really tired.
"Okay, be careful."
Even though Xuanyuan Xingyao knew that there was no danger nearby, he still subconsciously gave a warning before walking towards the river.
Nangong Jing naturally showed a hint of sweetness in response to Xuanyuan Xingyao's advice. He looked around and then chose a path based on his feeling and walked into the woods.
When I followed Han Yan out for training before, Han Yan had taught me a lot of outdoor experience, the most practical of which was which fruits and wild vegetables were edible.
So that Nangong Jing wouldn't have to sleep in the wilderness and not have food to eat.
There is no other way. Nangong Jing has not yet reached the level where he can practice fasting, so filling his stomach is still very important.
With Han Yan's guidance, Nangong Jing quickly found a lot of edible wild vegetables among the weeds, and picked a few pears which were a pleasant surprise. Then he went back to find Xuanyuan Xingyao with satisfaction.
Nangong Jing returned with a full load, and Xuanyuan Xingyao also gained a lot.
Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao did not choose to take the main roads, but instead chose some less crowded paths. This resulted in the place they came to being visited by few people on weekdays.
The fact that no one visits means that the small animals around here have not been "ruined" by anyone.
Therefore, Xuanyuan Xingyao caught several fish from the river very easily.
After catching the fish, Xuanyuan Xingyao processed it directly at the riverside with the small knife he carried with him. Finally, he cleaned it before carrying the fish back.
"This fish is quite fat."
Nangong Jing's eyes lit up slightly when he saw the fish that Xuanyuan Xingyao brought back.
"Take out the skewers and the pot."
When going out for training, one naturally needs to prepare everything. Carving wood into sticks or something like that is unacceptable to both Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing.
Therefore, before leaving the imperial capital, Nangong Jing bought some iron skewers for eating barbecue, as well as large and small pots, and even prepared a lot of seasonings. It can be said that his preparations were very complete.
Nangong Jing took out an iron skewer from his space ring and handed it to Xuanyuan Xingyao.
After Xuanyuan Xingyao skewered the fish, he casually put it aside for later use, and then started digging a hole.
The ground is covered with green grass. If it is set on fire, it will immediately cause a big fire.
Although Xuanyuan Xingyao's ice element can also use spiritual power to put out the fire, the environment here is so beautiful that the two do not want to destroy it.
While Xuanyuan Xingyao was digging the pit, Nangong Jing took out the seasoning and skillfully spread it on the fish. He marinated it slightly and it would be more fragrant when grilled later.
Because in addition to grilling fish, wild vegetables also needed to be cooked, Xuanyuan Xingyao dug two pits.
After digging the pit, Xuanyuan Xingyao went to pick up some firewood and built two bonfires.
Before lighting the fire, don't forget to clean the weeds on both sides to prevent sparks from jumping out and igniting the grass.
"Xiao Jing, take out the iron rack, and then bring the fish."
After Xuanyuan Xingyao built the fire, he spoke to Nangong Jing who was washing wild vegetables not far away.
Nangong Jing responded and came back with an iron pot. In the iron pot were some clean water and the wild vegetables that Nangong Jing had just picked.
After returning, Nangong Jing put down the iron pot first, then took out the barbecue rack and handed it to Xuanyuan Xingyao, and finally went to get the fish.
Although the preliminary preparations took a little longer, when the fragrant grilled fish and the wild vegetable soup that looked pretty good came out of the pot, the two felt that the time spent in the early stage was worth it.
The clear blue sky, the emerald green grass, the crystal clear river water, and a simple but delicious lunch, and of course the most important thing is having your lover by your side.
Even a martial arts fanatic like Xuanyuan Xingyao couldn't help but indulge in it for a while.
After a simple lunch, the two put out the fire and did not immediately set off on their journey. Instead, they leaned against each other and enjoyed this rare warm moment.
"Let's go, and continue on our journey."
Although it is warm and leisurely to lean on each other and enjoy the scenery, we still have to return to reality in the end.
After they cleaned up the garbage and restored everything to its original state, they stood up, tidied each other's clothes, and left the place where they had left their beautiful memories hand in hand.
"There seems to be a small town ahead, and it's getting dark soon. Let's stay there tonight."
Nangong Jing saw that although the sun had not completely set, it was already showing signs of moving downwards. If he continued to travel, he would have to sleep outdoors at night.
Sleeping outdoors in the wild at noon is fun, but sleeping outdoors at night is torture.
Especially when you can clearly enjoy yourself but still choose to sleep in the wild, that is not just suffering but asking for trouble.
"good."
Xuanyuan Xingyao always followed Nangong Jing's arrangements on these small matters, and it didn't matter to him.
The town was not big and looked quite backward. At least in the eyes of Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing, the best inn here was not even as good as the third-rate inns in the imperial capital.
However, they both knew that they couldn't be too picky when they were outside, so even though the environment was not satisfactory, they didn't say much. After all, they would only stay for one night and leave the next day.
After entering the inn room, Nangong Jing first released Yan who had been locked up for a day, and then he got a leopard that was holding its breath and looking resentful.
"Okay, I'm not angry anymore. Look, Hu Zi and the others stayed in the space every day without saying anything, but you only stayed for one day and you're already so angry."
Nangong Jing said while teasing Yan deliberately.
Yan was only a little angry at first, but when he saw that Nangong Jing not only did not coax him, but also praised other magical beasts, he immediately became furious and even his hair stood up.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. It's not that I'm not letting you out on purpose, but sometimes I want to spend some time alone together. You should be more sensible at this time, right? Tomorrow, tomorrow I will definitely let you stay outside, okay?"
Release him tomorrow, and send him to the consciousness space the day after tomorrow, Nangong Jing thought happily.
Yan Ke had no idea what Nangong Jing was thinking, and thought that he could stay outside forever. All of a sudden, he lost all his energy and jumped around the room excitedly.
Yan was excited for a long time, but finally Xuanyuan Xingyao glared at it, and Yan calmed down.
"It's not good to have too good a temper."
Nangong Jing thought, he was obviously the master, but his monsters were more afraid of Xuanyuan Xingyao. Sometimes Xuanyuan Xingyao's words were more useful than his.
Nangong Jing said that it was not good to have too good a temper, but in his heart he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Most summoners treat the summoned monsters as their own children and rarely treat them roughly.
On the second day, the two did not get up early to travel, but slept until they woke up naturally, and then had a leisurely brunch. Although it was not rich, it tasted good.
After checking out, they decided to take a stroll around the town before leaving as it was still early.
As soon as the two arrived in the town yesterday, they were busy looking for an inn and didn't really appreciate the scenery of the town.
After a walk around today, the two of them discovered that although the town is not big and 80% of the people are ordinary people, there are very few warriors and magicians, and their cultivation is relatively low. Not to mention summoners, there is not even a single one.
But the atmosphere here is very simple. Everyone you meet will greet you with a smile, even if you don’t know each other.
Warriors and magicians will not treat others in an overbearing manner, but are rather approachable.
This made Nangong Jing, who was used to warriors and magicians subconsciously showing a high profile when facing ordinary people, feel a little uncomfortable.
Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao quite like the atmosphere of this small town.
But it's okay to stay for a day or two, but the two of them can't accept staying for too long.
It’s not that the conditions here are bad, but that it’s too comfortable. Comfort makes people lose their enterprising spirit, which is not what the two want to see.
Therefore, even though the two of them liked the scenery and customs of this small town, they had no intention of staying for a few more days. After taking a quick walk around, they continued on their way.
Because there was no place in particular they wanted to go, Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing decided to find a teleportation array. They would go wherever the teleportation array took them, which meant that everything was arranged by God.
The moment they stepped out of the teleportation array, they first felt a wave of heat coming towards them, and then they realized that it was because of the relatively abundant fire element.
Although ice and fire are not as incompatible as water and fire, this place rich in fire elements is still quite unfriendly to Xuanyuan Xingyao, a warrior with ice attributes.
"We have arrived in Huoxi Country!!! How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Why don't we just take Jifeng and Xueyu and leave here."
Nangong Jing noticed the unusually abundant fire elements around him and immediately guessed where they were.
Worried that Xuanyuan Xingyao would feel uncomfortable, he wanted to summon the Swift Eagle to leave.
"It's okay. With my current level, I can still stay here. Since I'm here, I might as well see it for myself."
Xuanyuan Xingyao stopped Nangong Jing's actions. Although the surrounding fire elements made Xuanyuan Xingyao feel a little uncomfortable, it was not something he could not bear.
What's more, this is also a test for Xuanyuan Xingyao. If he can't bear it and has to escape even if the fire element is slightly richer, what should he do when he encounters more difficult things in the future? Should he just run away?
Seeing Xuanyuan Xingyao's firm attitude, Nangong Jing gave up the idea of leaving and only asked Xuanyuan Xingyao to tell him when he was really feeling unwell.
Although Huoxi Kingdom is not as famous as the major kingdoms, it is still quite well-known on the continent because of its special geographical location and its unique red flame mine.
If the territory of Huoxi Kingdom is not relatively small and the successive kings have mostly been defensive, there might be another Huoxi Kingdom in the kingdom.
