"Oh~ We need to eat something before heading out, okay?" Jinbao, winking and acting like a sycophant, pushed Xiaobaizhi out as a shield. "My little apprentice must be hungry, hurry up and serve the food!"
Zhu Yi said with a straight face, "Explain yourself clearly before you eat."
They showed no respect for the child, even though Zhu Yi was also very hungry.
The main reason was the aroma of the meat stew cooked by the innkeeper. The meat, simmering in the hot pot, had been cooking all morning, with a few flatbreads stuck to the side of the pot.
As soon as the thick curtains were put up in the morning, the cold air rushed into the inn's lobby through the cracks in the door.
The waiter was busy serving the early-rising cultivators. Although many cultivators could abstain from grains, in this cold wind raging with demonic energy, who wouldn't want to eat a bowl of hot meat hot pot with pancakes before going out?
Grandpa Jinbao swayed his tail, crossed his legs, and waited for the waiter to give him a larger rice bowl to serve the meat pot.
Nourished by the spiritual energy of half a Sour Spirit Fruit, Little Angelica dahurica slept soundly all night and even had a soft, cuddly feel. "Master, your disciple is hungry too..."
The little girl hesitated, then looked at Jinbao with watery eyes as he wolfed down his food.
Zhu Yi suddenly felt like a cruel devil who abused children, not giving them food and being mean to them.
He quickly adjusted his gaze. "Fine, you don't seem like the type to speak honestly. Since we're already here, we need to figure out a way to get out of here as soon as possible. I still need to find the Buddha's Fire!"
Jinbao pretended to be deaf and succumbed to Zhu Yi's fierce power, saying, "Stop looking, here, have some!"
The stingy girl only gave me a bowl of Angelica dahurica soup.
Zhu Yi was speechless. She rolled her eyes at Jinbao and gave one-third of her own flesh to Xiao Baizhi. Well, she could suffer for the child but not for herself. She needed to eat her fill, otherwise how would she have the strength to work?
"Eat up. This is a sheep that the innkeeper specially slaughtered. Although it can't compare to the spirit sheep of the cultivation world, it's still a very precious meat in the mortal realm." Su Linyuan used a clean knife to cut the large chunks of mutton on the plate and pushed the whole plate to Zhu Yi.
"Delicious!" True to her foodie nature, Zhu Yi ate with the gusto of a cat seeing meat. "I know that most people in the mortal world have a hard life. They can only see meat during the New Year. It's already great that we have this to eat!"
Little Baizhi nodded, secretly saving herself a portion of meat and not eating it.
Zhu Yi knew what Xiao Baizhi was thinking; she wanted to save some for her family.
Although she had left home, she couldn't bear to see her family suffer from cold and hunger.
If she truly disregards her family completely, Zhu Yi would think this child is cold and selfish.
But if she only thinks about her family who favor sons over daughters, Zhu Yi feels that she's not ambitious enough to not make steamed buns.
What a contradiction!
"Ugh, I unconsciously ended up with my mouth all greasy from eating, which really ruins my image as a beautiful and charming female knight."
The fiery red fox fur coat, light and warm, couldn't compare to Zhu Yi's stunning beauty at this moment.
Looking down from the second floor, Zhu Qianying thought bitterly: What's so special about a piece of mutton from the mortal world? It's so petty!
"Junior sister, it's too cold, I won't go out with you, I'm going back to sleep~"
...It's not like you're hibernating, why are you still sleeping!
Jinbao casually took the unfinished Xiaobaizhi and left, even thoughtfully giving Xiaobaizhi her bowl.
They vanished without a trace, leaving no trace, and for a moment, it was impossible to tell who the dog was.
At the square table, Zhu Yi and Su Linyuan stared at each other.
Qingyuan Town, Qingyuan Mountain.
The wind and snow never return; the mountains are hidden in a white expanse, and the spiritual energy of this place has been submerged and swallowed by the demonic snow.
Zhu Yi shuddered, surprised to find that Su Linyuan beside her seemed a little stiff before he moved.
Zhu Yi tilted her head to look at him, and suddenly a voice in her mind told her: Snakes hibernate in winter, which is why the Demon Snake Clan is always afraid to travel in snowy weather.
But there was another town of innocent people suffering here, and Su Linyuan couldn't just watch them suffer.
The cold wind blew through Su Linyuan's fox fur coat, as if it were trying to penetrate into his very bones. He pursed his lips tightly, and an unspoken wariness was evident beneath his sharply defined jawline.
Suddenly, a warm, spiritual energy emanated from his cold skin.
Zhu Yi's smiling eyes shimmered with the color of peach blossoms, and her fiery red outfit made her look even more stunning.
It seemed as if only this one color existed between heaven and earth. Su Linyuan said, "Have we ever seen anything like this? You wouldn't like this kind of icy and snowy weather. It would be better to have a small garden with mountains, water, peach blossoms, and vegetables."
“Yes, perhaps you did good deeds in your past life to be able to meet a fairy like me!” Zhu Yi’s eyes were glistening, her eyebrows were curved, and her completely natural appearance puzzled Su Linyuan.
He did indeed have a vague, instant attraction to Yi'er.
The origin is unknown, so there is no need to question its source.
The fiery red lotus mantra flowed smoothly along the meridians on Su Linyuan's wrist, winding its way up to his chest.
A masculine fire condensed in Su Linyuan's chest, forming a blooming lotus.
"Brother Lin Yuan, this is my very powerful Buddhist fire technique! With my golden core's blessing, the fire spiritual energy within you will become even stronger!"
