Chapter 135 - Poisoned Clouds
"Here," Xie Zhao handed a few candy beans to Rabbit's mouth with a coaxing smile on his face. "You can't chew the base of the tower. This is for you to grind your teeth. There is a little spatial power in it, enough for you to digest for a while. If you behave well in the future, there will be more."
The Moon-Eating Rabbit's ruby eyes lit up instantly! It sniffed the air, then immediately opened its tiny black mouth and swallowed a few stardust jelly beans in one gulp. It burped contentedly, a satisfying gurgling sound emanating from its throat, and obediently nuzzled the White Deer's hand.
"Thank you...thank you, Second Brother." Bai Xiaolu said softly, his clear eyes full of gratitude.
"It's a small matter!" Xie Zhao waved his hand.
At this moment, Chu Linyuan, who had been concentrating on cutting materials, suddenly stopped.
The massive star-patterned iron base in his hand had already taken shape, its smooth surface reflecting a cold gleam. He didn't look at Xie Zhao, but instead turned his cold gaze toward the relatively empty area to the east of the square.
"Su Tang." Chu Linyuan's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.
"Ah? Here!" Su Tang was explaining to the photo stone. Upon hearing this, she immediately stood up straight and looked at Chu Linyuan with her psychic eyes shining.
Chu Linyuan didn't say anything, but just put his fingers together like a sword and pointed at the open space in the air.
A condensed black ice evil energy shot out, accurately circling a circular area with a diameter of three meters on the ground.
The black rock ground in the area instantly solidified into a layer of smooth ice, with a few simple runes imprinted on the ice, emitting the aura of willpower.
"The Wish Power Platform." Chu Linyuan uttered these three words, and the meaning was clear - this was the exclusive live broadcast platform allocated to Su Tang.
"Wow!!!" Su Tang jumped up instantly, her face flushed with excitement, and she almost dropped the photo stone. "Thank you, Senior Brother! Long live Senior Brother!!"
She immediately rushed into the ice circle, feeling the cool touch under her feet and the faint fluctuations of willpower emitted by the runes, and excitedly began to plan how to arrange her little territory.
Chu Linyuan did all this as if it were just a casual act. He retracted his fingers, his gaze returning to the Immortal Killing Spear in his hand and the next piece of material, continuing his cold and precise cutting work.
Xie Zhao watched Su Tang spinning excitedly in the ice circle, then looked at Chu Linyuan's silent and focused profile, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
He walked up to Chu Linyuan, and this time he didn't take out the talisman pen to sell it. Instead, he took out two oil-paper bags from his storage bag like a magic trick.
"Brother, take a break?" Xie Zhao's voice was a little flattering. He handed an oil-paper bag to Chu Linyuan and opened the other one without hesitation.
Inside were a few golden and crispy meat patties that exuded an enticing meaty aroma and a faint herbal fragrance. They were made with the leftover earth dragon rhinoceros meat and young leaves of star tear grass.
The rich fragrance spread instantly, and even Luo Hongyi, who was "beating" Tie Niu in the distance, sniffed.
Chu Linyuan paused in his cutting motion. He lowered his eyes to look at the oil-paper bag that was being handed to him, then looked up at Xie Zhao's face, which was filled with a smile of expectation (and guilt?).
He didn't take it immediately. His cold eyes stayed on Xie Zhao's face for two seconds, as if he was examining whether the meat pie had been cursed with the spell of "never finding a toilet".
Finally, he stretched out his intact right hand and took the oil-paper package, his movements still with a rigid and steady manner.
Xie Zhao immediately burst into laughter, as if he had received a huge reward. He sat down against a pre-cut iron base with a star pattern, nibbled a bite of the meat pie with great relish, and mumbled incoherently, "Hmm... I'm still the best at cooking... That little Tangdou girl only knows how to livestream..."
Chu Linyuan didn't sit down, but simply stood there. His slender fingers tore off a small piece of meat patty, his movements with a slow, almost elegant manner that was completely different from when he cut meteorite iron.
He put the meat pie between his lips, his cold eyes slightly lowered, as if he was savoring it carefully.
Xie Zhao swallowed the last bite of the meat pie with satisfaction, and rubbed his greasy fingers casually on his robe, which earned him a cold look from Chu Linyuan. Then he stood up energetically, and the Jinghong Talisman Pen made a neat flower pattern between his fingers.
"Get started!" He cast a burning gaze towards the east wall of the Talisman Array Tower, where the words "Stardust Void Solidifying Formation" were already engraved. "It's time to build the skeleton of our Dragon Phoenix Return Ruins!"
