"What's the matter, Master?"
Bai Hubo's face was full of confusion. "Wouldn't it be better if the spiritual energy was a little thicker?"
"That's good, but I deliberately didn't treat Jade's injuries just now because I didn't want it to recover too quickly..."
"Master, you don't need to be so afraid of ferocious beasts. The way ferocious beasts increase their strength is different from other beasts. If they don't eat flesh and blood for a long time, even if they live in an area with abundant spiritual energy, they will become increasingly weak..."
At this point, Bai Hubo tilted his head and asked in confusion: "Master, why do you keep it?"
Others raise ferocious beasts to train them and make them stronger, but when it comes to Lan Zhi, she doesn't seem to intend to make them stronger, she just keeps them...
This left Bai Hubo completely bewildered. It asked, "Is the master planning to raise it a little bigger before cooking it?"
Lan Zhi reached out and knocked, "Didn't I tell you, it's because of its extraordinary bloodline."
"Its bloodline is extraordinary. The stronger the beast's bloodline, the faster it grows and the larger it becomes... But if you keep starving it, it won't even be able to survive. It seems to have no other value except to be eaten."
Lan Zhi retorted, "Yes, if I eat the meat, I can leave some bones for it to eat."
“…”
After making such a comparison, Bai Hubo suddenly felt that his master was very good to him. At least he would not let him eat leftovers.
It was already very late at night, Bai Hubo returned to the white jade tree. Lan Zhi had stayed up all night until now, and she was very energetic and not sleepy at all.
She boiled some hot water, sprinkled flower petals on it for a bath, and then washed and hung out the clothes.
Lan Zhi fell asleep only when the sky turned pale.
However, after sleeping for less than an hour, she heard someone calling her outside the door: "Sister, sister..."
In the entire Lan family, only Jiang Qingcheng's cousin would call her that.
Lan Zhi didn't want to pay attention to her, but she was too noisy. Lan Zhi yawned, casually put on a coat and walked out.
"Sister..." Jiang Qingcheng was wearing a simple and elegant white dress today. Under her curved eyebrows were a pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes, a pretty nose and cherry lips. The bright lip balm on her lips made her skin look even whiter than snow.
Jiang Qingcheng has a slim figure and a slender waist. She walks with a graceful demeanor, making people want to hold her in their arms and protect her carefully.
"Sister, you have never taken me out... Can you take me around the capital?" Jiang Qingcheng said coquettishly.
Lan Zhi narrowed her eyes and said, "...in the afternoon."
"Ah, why is that?"
"I want to sleep in."
Jiang Qingcheng: “…”
"If you're really bored, ask the housekeeper to go shopping with you."
Jiang Qingcheng complained, "He's a man, and he doesn't know how to choose rouge and powder. What's the point of me taking him out?"
"He can help you carry your things."
Jiang Qingcheng's eyes flickered for a moment, and she said, "Sister, I heard that cultivators have good physiques and don't need to sleep too long at night. They can wake up refreshed the next day... Sister, did you not sleep well last night? Why do you look so sleepy?"
"Oh," Lan Zhi lied calmly without any guilt, "I meditated all night last night and just fell asleep."
Hearing this, Jiang Qingcheng lowered her head, a deep jealousy flashing in her eyes. Her cultivation talent was very poor, and her cultivation had always remained at the early stage of the Infant Yuan Realm. No matter how hard she practiced, she could not break through. Unless she swallowed a large number of medicinal pills, otherwise her life would be like this. However, the price of medicinal pills was very expensive, and Jiang Qingcheng could not afford them at all. Lan Zhi not only had a better family background than her, was more beautiful than her, but her cultivation talent was far superior to hers...
Jiang Qingcheng was so jealous that she was going crazy, but she had to show an innocent smile on her face, "Then go and have some rest, sister. I'll come to see you in the afternoon."
"Okay." Lan Zhi closed the door.
The smile on Jiang Qingcheng's face gradually faded, and her eyes became gloomy. Then she took a few deep breaths, adjusted her mentality, and raised the corners of her mouth into a perfect arc again. After turning around, she saw the housekeeper standing outside the gate.
Jiang Qingcheng had her back to the housekeeper. Knowing that the housekeeper certainly hadn't seen her face change, she wasn't panicking. She raised her hand to brush her hair and said with a smile, "Are you here to look for Sister Lan Zhi? But she's already asleep."
Her voice is clear and has the youthful sweetness unique to a girl, and is very pleasant to the ear.
Butler Chen sighed and said, "Then let her sleep. Sigh... Miss must be suffering from insomnia because of the disappearance of the eldest young master..."
"I'm also worried about my cousin's safety. Let me go out now and see if I can find any clues." Jiang Qingcheng said.
Butler Chen didn't say anything, just shook his head with a sad look on his face. But after Jiang Qingcheng walked away, the sadness on Butler Chen's face disappeared.
He is not a fool. Although he was hit hard by the fact that "the eldest young master is missing" at the beginning, the second young master later pestered him to play chess... This is very strange. The three brothers of the Lan family have a very good relationship. If the eldest young master is really missing, can the second young master still be so relaxed?
This is obviously abnormal.
So, while playing chess, Butler Chen tried to find out about the eldest young master by hinting at him. The second young master always said "I don't know", but he didn't look anxious at all. Gradually, Butler Chen understood:
The eldest young master must be fine, but for some reason, the second young master cannot tell him the truth and can only hint to him in this way.
Butler Chen felt relieved, but in order not to arouse suspicion, he still went out and pretended to be sad to look for the eldest young master. Then he found out... there were more people secretly watching the Lan Mansion.
He knew that these must be people from the Rui Palace, but he didn't know whether the Rui Palace had sent out astrologers to find the whereabouts of the eldest young master?
I hope the young master won't be found...
Butler Chen thought with worry.
…
…
Lan Zhi slept until noon and woke up feeling hungry. There was a small kitchen in her courtyard, so Lan Zhi cooked two dishes and boiled a bowl of noodles, which she ate slowly.
After eating, she remembered that she had forgotten the black snake's corpse, but she never ate snake meat, so she ran to find her two brothers and asked them if they wanted to eat it.
Lan Zheyu was surprised and asked, "Sister, did you hunt this specifically for us?"
Lan Zhi shook her head, "No, I didn't do it."
"Azhi, stop joking. This black snake is from the beast tribe. Its flesh and blood are very nutritious. How did it die without you doing anything? Did it hit itself to death?"
"No, there was a bear beast fighting with it..."
"So that's how it is." Lan Jinyu took out a kitchen knife and cut the snake meat. "I used to catch snakes and eat them myself. How come you don't eat snake meat?"
“No.”
Lan Zheyu held her hand and said, "If you see beastmen fighting in the future, stay away from them. Your third brother and I will be fine practicing in seclusion. We don't need you to go out and help us find additional training resources."
