This is the fragrance of flowers from that night.
Xiao Mingyan learned from the shaman that the fragrance of the flower was used by the Feathered Clan...
Recalling the arrogant verbal attacks from the eagle-beastman a few days ago, Xiao Mingyan felt a barely perceptible chill emanating from his body.
A cold glint flashed in his deep, gentle eyes.
Suddenly, she remembered that she had refused to mate with other males yesterday, and her tail began to wag faster involuntarily.
“My lady, I…” A hint of guilt flashed in Xiao Mingyan’s eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Ling Yunxi looked at him, holding the bowl, and noticed his flushed cheeks. She asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Noticing that the abnormality on his face had been discovered, Xiao Mingyan turned to walk towards the chair and secretly used his supernatural power to make it disappear quickly.
She looked up again, a slight smile playing on her lips, her deep-set eyes crinkling: "No."
He casually picked up his chopsticks and placed a chicken leg on her plate, his voice gentle: "Please eat more, Mistress."
"Yes, you too." Ling Yunxi also put one on his plate.
Xiao Mingyan looked down at the chicken leg in the bowl, his silver-gray eyes slightly glazed over.
The old Ling Yunxi would never have...
Xiao Mingyan chuckled silently, a smile playing on his lips, and twitched his ears slightly: "Thank you, Mistress."
When I looked up and saw her intently chewing, I was mesmerized.
Today, her face seems to have lost some weight, and the remaining acne scars hardly affect her ethereal beauty.
His former arrogant and domineering image is gone.
These changes in her seem to have all occurred after she drowned.
It was from that time that she gained supernatural abilities and discovered the Thousand-Year-Old Cold Pool.
Drowning, a thousand-year-old icy pool...
Looking at the female before him, whose temperament had suddenly changed drastically, he felt increasingly unfamiliar with her, and his eyes narrowed slightly...
Seeing that Xiao Mingyan hadn't touched her chopsticks, Ling Yunxi stared at her with icy eyes.
It's as if they're expecting something.
She looked down at the food in front of her, puzzled, and then realized something; the meat she was chewing began to tasteless.
Could it be...?
Poisoning?
She stopped chewing, swallowed, put the bowl on the table, and frowned slightly as she pondered.
Xiao Mingyan came to his senses: "Why isn't the female master eating? Is it not to her liking?"
Ling Yunxi shook her head.
Xiao Mingyan picked it up, tasted a spoonful, and said, "It's normal. I even cooked it a little longer."
Realizing it was a misunderstanding, Ling Yunxi's cheeks flushed. She picked up the bowl to cover her embarrassment and continued eating.
[Congratulations, host! You have completed the side quest to help Xuan Yize stop the wedding. Reward: One translated beast script book!]
[Xuan Yize's level of dislike is currently decreasing...]
Ling Yunxi chewed on the chicken in her mouth and nodded slightly.
Suddenly, a hand holding an animal skin cloth reached out and wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth.
Ling Yunxi's pupils contracted slightly, her gaze following the owner of the hand, finally settling on a handsome face with a cool demeanor, deep features, and a naturally upturned corner of his lips.
Against the light falling on the courtyard, in the dim shadows, the male's silver-gray pupils gleamed slightly.
It looks gentle yet... seemingly cold and unfathomable.
The moment their eyes met.
A heart-pounding sound, seemingly out of nowhere, quietly reached my ears.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
"Thanks."
Ling Yunxi was the first to break the silence.
"Heh..." Xiao Mingyan smiled and sat back down in his original seat.
After eating her fill, Ling Yunxi returned to her room and began studying animal script.
Xiao Mingyan also went out.
The system has compiled a translation of the animal runes, with each rune labeled with its function, purpose, and usage in a language she can understand.
It is easy to understand and use.
In order to master these animal scripts as soon as possible, she spent the whole day squatting in the room studying them.
During this time, she also tried to practice the content that the plant veterinarian had given her before, which she had not learned in the previous lessons.
"Seedling cultivation..."
Following the runes on the map, she used her powers to try to make the fallen seeds in the yard sprout.
"Watering..."
The seeds germinated quickly, but the soil around them dried up very quickly.
Ling Yunxi watered it with a bucket from the side and then used her supernatural ability to draw talismans.
...
Xiao Mingyan returned from outside in the evening.
He opened the door, and suddenly a sapling almost as tall as him appeared in the middle of the yard.
The saplings blocked his view inside, and he froze, thinking he had gone to the wrong place.
He retreated, looking puzzled.
Carrying the meat out the door, I checked it again.
It's his house, no doubt about it.
Just then, Ling Yunxi returned from outside, panting, carrying a bucket of water. She greeted him with an embarrassed look on her face: "Hehe...you're back."
“Mistress, this…” Xiao Mingyan looked at the tree that had suddenly appeared in the courtyard with surprise, his gaze shifting back and forth between her and the tree.
"What I learned today was a bit small..."
"It's growing in the middle of the yard, blocking the way. I'll pull it out in a bit..."
“Mistress, you’re not young anymore.” Xiao Mingyan raised an eyebrow as he looked at the sapling in the courtyard, which was as tall as him.
Ling Yunxi thought Xiao Mingyan was praising her.
When she reached the door and saw the tree, she also showed a surprised expression.
“Indeed,” Ling Yunxi nodded in agreement.
Sweat rolled down his forehead.
"I'll pull it out right now."
The tree in front of her when she went out was just a small tree, not even knee-high. When she went out to fetch water, she specially gave it some special power.
Now, the sapling has grown taller than her.
Ling Yunxi put down the bucket, bent down, and gripped the sapling tightly with both hands.
Even after their faces turned red and their clothes were soaked with sweat, they still couldn't budge the sapling an inch.
