"Chu Yu, what happened up ahead?"
"It's nothing. How many hawthorns have you eaten?" Chu Yu frowned as she looked at the hawthorn in her hand that she had taken a bite out of. Her lips were stained red. How many had she eaten?
She hid her hands behind her back like she was burying her head in the sand, not daring to look Chu Yu in the eye, and said with evasive eyes, "No, I didn't eat much, just four... no, only three, yes, I only ate three!"
As she spoke, she showed the red berries in her hand to Chu Yu, "Look, I only took one bite of the fourth one, so it doesn't count." She even nodded her little head in affirmation.
Chu Yu was skeptical of the claim that it cost money, saying, "Your lips are red after eating only three?" He just couldn't believe it!
Hua opened her innocent big eyes and blinked them. "Yes, I really only ate three. If you don't believe me..." Hua looked around and then pointed at Wan Ke opposite her, saying, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Wan Ke. Wan Ke can vouch for me."
Seeing that Chu Yu was about to ask, he quickly said loudly to Wan Ke, "Sister Wan Ke, tell Chu Yu, did I only eat three red fruits?" He even gestured with his finger and secretly winked at Wan Ke.
Looking at Chu Yu's cold face and then at Hua's winking, Wan Ke was truly caught in a dilemma. Oh dear, even if you want to give me a signal, you don't have to be so obvious, do you?
Hua saw Wan Ke glance at her several times and thought Wan Ke understood what she meant, so she was relieved. Little did she know that not only Wan Ke saw her expressive face, but Chu Yu also saw it, and even Tu Er and the others noticed that something was different.
"Uh... that Chu Yu, Liao Liao only ate three red fruits... right Tu Er?" She couldn't stand Chu Yu's gaze, so she could only pass the question to Tu Er. Liao Liao, I'm sorry, Wan Ke turned her head slightly, not daring to look at Liao Liao's glaring eyes.
Hua knew something was terribly wrong when she heard Wan Ke say that, and sure enough...
"She didn't just eat three! There was a whole bunch left, at least ten or so, and now there are only four left!" Tu Er told Chu Yu the truth directly, and Hua immediately cowered when she received a look from Chu Yu.
You think you can talk? Tu Er, you just wait! You better pray you don't fall into my trap next time!
Chu Yu wasn't in a hurry to say anything to her. He slowly walked towards Hua, and Hua timidly took a small step back, but stopped immediately when she met Chu Yu's gaze.
Chu Yu looked at Hua and hid the hand holding the red fruit behind his back, taking a shallow breath. "Liao Liao, didn't you just say you only ate three, hmm?"
"Um... Chu Yu, listen to me."
"Hmm, I'm listening. Go ahead." Chu Yu looked at Hua with a half-smile, his expression clearly saying, "Keep making things up, I'm listening."
"Um, Tu Er misread it, yes, he misread it. Those were all eaten by Sister Wan Ke." Hua Hua thought her reason was perfect.
"Oh? Is that so?" Chu Yu looked at the flower's lips, which were stained with juice and looked luscious, with a dark expression.
"Uh... I was getting bored while waiting for you, so I couldn't control myself and ate a bit too much." Hua said while looking at Chu Yu's expression.
Fortunately, Chu Yu's complexion was still relatively normal. Before he could even relax halfway, he heard Chu Yu say, "Liao Liao, have you forgotten that you ate too much fire honey fruit and suffered from internal heat for half a month?"
Hua knew Chu Yu was going to talk about this. When Hua was about 500 years old, she was so greedy that she ate too much fire honey fruit, which caused her to get a serious internal heat. Her mouth was covered with small blisters, and she had to drink porridge for half a month to recover.
Now, just thinking about those days of drinking plain porridge makes her shudder. It was from then on that Chu Yu became very strict about her food. Every time she couldn't resist sneaking a bite, Chu Yu would make her drink plain porridge for three whole days, calling it "remembering the bitter past to appreciate the sweet present!"
"Hmm, very good. It seems that Liao Liao wants to drink porridge again recently." Chu Yu had tried many methods to cure Liao Liao's gluttonous habit, and it was only after the fire honey fruit incident that he finally came up with the idea of getting Liao Liao to drink plain porridge.
For this little goddess who couldn't live without spicy food, this was practically torture! The main problem was that Chu Yu couldn't bear to use any stricter methods.
"Chu Yu~, I just ate some hawthorn berries, it's really nothing. Tu Er and Wan Ke also ate some, and they're really fine!" Hua said, pointing her little finger at Tu Er and Wan Ke.
Chu Yu didn't even spare a glance for them, and said seriously, "Liao Liao, they are them, and you are you. You've never been exposed to these red fruits before. What if you feel unwell later after eating so many?"
Tu Er and Wan Ke: So in your eyes, only your little goddess is the most precious, and the rest of them are rough!
Hua took her hand out from behind her back, opened her palm, and in her fair hand was a bright red fruit with a bite taken out of it. She said obediently, "I know, then I won't eat it. You can have it."
Chu Yu took the half-eaten red fruit from Hua's hand, looked at the obedient Hua with her head down, and sighed resignedly. His Liao Liao really knew best how to deal with him.
"Then let's let it go this time, but don't let it happen again!" Chu Yu took a bite, and thought, "Mmm, it tastes good!"
"Chu Yu, I knew you were the best!"
Tu Er was puzzled by Hua's excited expression. What was the big deal?! This was the best?
Distracted by this, Hua almost forgot what she had just asked Chu Yu, but Tu Er remembered and asked, "Chu Yu, Gu Xi, have you discovered anything?"
Chu Yu and Gu Xi exchanged a knowing glance. Chu Yu then said, "It's nothing, everyone. Pack your things, we're ready to go."
Indeed, it's nothing serious, just infighting among the demon race, which incidentally dragged Qianji and the others from the demon race into it as well. But there's no need to tell Tu Er and the others about that.
Qianji: Am I not even worthy to mention it?
"Oh, we've almost finished preparing here. We're just waiting for you to come back so we can set off immediately!" Tu Er didn't think much of it, since it wasn't really his business anyway.
It's very fast to get there from here; in less than two hours, they arrived at the foot of the mountain that Chu Yu had mentioned.
Gu Xi looked at the mountain in front of him. He had thought it was strange from a distance, and now that it was closer, he felt it was even stranger. He asked Chu Yu and the others in confusion, "Chu Yu, don't you guys think this mountain looks familiar?"
"Floating Life Mountain!"
