When Ye Xiruo, who was quite drunk, saw that Xiu Qiyu had really returned the wine jar to her, she was overjoyed and slapped Xiu Qiyu on the back: "What you said is true. You returned the wine to me. You are such a good person."
Xiu Qiyu felt a little embarrassed after being inexplicably given the "friend zone" card.
"Why does it taste a little off?" Ye Xiruo took a sip of water, her brows immediately furrowing as she looked at Xiu Qiyu with an indescribably innocent expression.
"You've finished your drink, so I've given you a different kind of spirit wine. Actually, they're about the same. Doesn't this one make you feel warm and comfortable all over?"
Ye Xiruo nodded. Xiu Qiyu was right; this wine was indeed quite refreshing.
"You're such a good person. Why don't you drink? Come and drink with me." Without waiting for a reply, he grabbed the wine jar and tried to force-feed her, but Xiu Qiyu dodged him.
"Look, I have some too, let's drink together."
"Okay, let's drink together!"
"Little Yezi is so easy to fool when she's drunk," Xiu Qiyu couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.
"Come on, let's drink together."
"Okay, let's drink together."
After Ye Xiruo finished drinking the half-jar of spiritual water, she fell into a deep sleep.
Finally asleep, Xiu Qiyu carried her to bed, covered her with a blanket, and gently kissed Ye Xiruo's forehead. "Little Yezi, I will never let you be so sad again."
Let's treat this matter with Feng Yi as just an interlude and let it end there.
Ye Xiruo slept very restlessly. In her dream, she saw herself in her past life, as well as the complicated look in her parents' eyes and their sorrowful expressions, and the disappointment in her grandparents' eyes.
She didn't understand why everything had turned out this way. In the end, everyone was covered in a terrifying blood color and then silently turned to ashes before her eyes. No matter how much she called out, they still disappeared.
What's going on? Cultivators rarely dream, so why is Xiao Yezi sleeping so restlessly? Xiu Qiyu immediately noticed Ye Xiruo's condition and took out a piece of thousand-year-old Soul-Suppressing Wood, placing it beside her pillow to nourish her soul and help her sleep peacefully. If that didn't work, they would have to wake Xiao Yezi.
Ye Xiruo's expression finally returned to calm, and Xiu Qiyu's heart finally settled down. But he still stayed by Ye Xiruo's side without leaving her side, afraid that something might happen to her again.
The next night, Ye Xiruo finally woke up and immediately saw Xiu Qiyu guarding her side.
"Brother Xiuqi, thank you for your hard work."
"That's to be expected. Does your head still hurt?"
If Ye Xiruo shook his head, all the spirit wine would eventually turn into pure spiritual energy and be absorbed by his body, without any aftereffects.
"How much did I drink?" Ye Xiruo got out of bed.
"Not much, just two or three jars."
"And you?"
"Three or five jars."
"Brother Xiu Qi is indeed a man of great hidden talent."
"Not as good as Xiao Yezi, who is exceptionally talented."
Oh no, what happened last night? A sense of foreboding rose in Ye Xiruo's heart.
"I'm relieved as long as Xiao Yezi is alright."
Only a few hours should have passed outside. Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu did not plan to go out at this time and sleep on the streets.
"Brother Xiu Qi, is there anything you want to eat?" She was so grateful to Brother Xiu Qi for helping her through these past few days; otherwise, she would have had a hard time getting through it all on her own.
"Make whatever you want to eat! I like anything you make."
Ye Xiruo's face quickly turned red. She felt embarrassed by what her brother Xiu Qi said, but she had already figured out his tastes pretty well.
"Brother Xiu Qi, you rest for a while. I'll go get something good to eat." The airplane food was as awful as ever. As for eating with Feng Yi, just looking at his face made me lose my appetite, okay?
Beggar's chicken is a must-have dish; it has become a tradition.
With so much seafood, they could make some fish balls, which could be added to hot pot, stir-fries, or noodles. Thinking of those glistening, delicious, and bouncy fish balls, Ye Xiruo couldn't help but wipe her drool. She couldn't resist! Even though it was just her and Brother Xiu Qi in the space, it wouldn't stop them from having hot pot.
Using greenery for hot pot is a bit too inappropriate, but luckily she was prepared and took out a hot pot that she had specially commissioned from her spatial ring.
She had kept quite a few large bones from before, which would be perfect for making hot pot broth.
After thinking it over, Ye Xiruo decided to simmer the broth in the greenery. There was no other way; that little broken pot would definitely break if Qinglian Tian took it out. She'd simmer the broth in the greenery first, then pour it into the pot. That would be it.
Ye Xiruo took out some of the spiritual vegetables she had planted, washed them with clean water, chopped them, and plated them. It was that convenient.
And this pile of seafood—crabs, scallops, fish, and shrimp—was quickly prepared by Ye Xiruo. As for the more technical task of slicing meat, she'd leave that to Brother Xiu Qi later. Ye Xiruo indicated she was busy making fish balls.
The fish chosen for making fish balls are of medium size with few bones. Under Ye Xiruo's precise control, the fish bones are quickly removed and thrown into a pot to make fish soup.
Ye Xiruo was preparing to make a lot of fish balls, which was evident from the huge basin she brought out.
"Little Leaf, are you preparing a big surprise?"
Ye Xiruo was so engrossed in processing the fish that she didn't realize Xiu Qiyu had appeared behind her at some point.
"Brother Xiuqi, didn't I tell you to go and rest? You'll be fine soon, you have to trust me."
"Do all these fish need to be chopped into minced meat?"
"Great, we should make fish balls, super delicious fish balls."
"Then you prepare to make a pot like this."
"Yes, the fish balls can be stored away so we don't have to make them again later."
"Okay, is there anything I can do for you?"
"Leave these fish to me, you go and do other things."
Ugh, what's with this feeling of suddenly becoming useless? But Ye Xiruo still went to prepare the seasonings.
Xiu Qiyu's sword energy was so powerful that Ye Xiruo could barely see his movements. In less than half an hour, the pile of fish had turned into a full basin of fish paste, which greatly shocked Ye Xiruo.
Add the seasonings and butter to the fish balls. Ye Xiruo closed her eyes, and an invisible spiritual force burst forth, penetrating deep into the fish paste, thoroughly mixing the fish paste, butter, and seasonings.
Repeat this process three times to incorporate all the seasonings into the fish paste. Then add egg white and cornstarch, and continue stirring clockwise until fish paste appears.
