When Xiao Liyue had just prepared a bunch of delicious food for Chiyi and the others, the voices of Mo Yan and Zhang Tiezhu were heard outside the door.
"Huh... did we go to the wrong place? Is this still the old Ice Palace?" Mo Yan exclaimed.
Zhang Tiezhu looked at him with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Master, the plaque on this door says that it is the Ice Palace! Is there a second Ice Palace?"
Mo Yan slapped him on the head, "Nonsense... I, your master, am not blind. I can naturally see the words on the door plaque. You don't understand... Think about how shabby this Ice Palace was in the past, but now it is more beautiful than any palace here. How can I not be surprised? Come on... go in and take a look and you will know." After that, he opened the door and walked in.
The first thing that catches your eye is the two exquisite large fountains on both sides and two rows of flower trees leading directly to the back garden.
Mo Yan and Zhang Tiezhu strolled on the path. The clear chirping of birds could be heard from the bauhinia tree. Looking at the colorful flowerbed under the tree, the two were surrounded by flowers of various colors. The rich fragrance of flowers and the scent of grass intertwined together, making them feel relaxed and happy.
When you walk to the back garden, you will see a small bridge, flowing water, rockery and green bamboo, which add a touch of freshness to the back garden. Flowers are in full bloom and the fragrance is everywhere. They are either gorgeous or have a long-lasting fragrance. The various scents of flowers are intertwined together, which is intoxicating.
Countless colorful butterflies dance around the garden and fly freely among the sea of flowers, adding a touch of dynamism to this beautiful picture. Walking among them, one feels as if one is in a fairyland, making people linger.
Zhang Tiezhu opened his mouth wide: "Master? I didn't expect that the Emperor loves flowers so much. This is so beautiful! This is simply a paradise on earth! I want to live here too."
Mo Yan was also amazed, but when he heard that his apprentice wanted to live here, he joked: "If you are not afraid of death, you can live here. Anyway, your master cannot defeat the Demon Emperor."
"Um...then I'd better not live here. After all, my life is more important. But Master, how come there is no guard in such a big palace? Where have all the people gone?" Zhang Tiezhu asked curiously.
Mo Yan smiled and said, "Not bad! After three years, he has become smarter and knows that his life is more important. The Demon Emperor never likes to be disturbed, so his Ice Palace does not have a single guard or maid. Besides, the Demon Emperor is basically in seclusion every day, so this huge palace is not taken care of. I didn't expect that after three years of not coming, the Ice Palace has become such a beautiful sight. I envy the Demon Emperor. I guess the Ice Palace must have been tidied up by the Junior Sister Li Xiao you mentioned."
The reason why he came to the Ice Palace today was because he had drunk up all the red wine, purple bamboo wine and green bamboo wine that Xiao Liyue gave him three years ago, so he wanted to come and see if Emperor Junhan was in the Ice Palace. If not, he could get some wine from Xiao Liyue.
Zhang Tiezhu looked at him as if he understood something: "Oh! So that's it! I don't know what Li Xiao is doing!"
At this moment, Xiao Liyue flew out from the side of the lotus lake, came to Mo Yan and saluted, saying: "Disciple Lixiao greets Mo Zun, I don't know what brought you here today."
"Haha... you're welcome. This Ice Palace was renovated by you, right? It's well done. By the way, where is your master?" Mo Yan asked curiously.
Xiao Liyue smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Demon Lord. I just came out of retreat today, and I don't know where Master has gone. What's wrong, Demon Lord? Do you have something to ask my Master?"
When Mo Yan learned that Emperor Junhan was not in the Ice Palace, he smiled brightly and said, "It's okay. Since your master is not here, let's go sit in the palace and taste the wine you brewed."
Xiao Liyue smiled slightly. It was probably because he had finished the wine she gave him last time, so he came to the Ice Palace to find her! Otherwise, why would he be so happy to know that Emperor Junhan was not in the palace? However, she did not expose him, but smiled and said, "Okay! It happens that I just made some food. Demon Lord, you and Senior Brother Tiezhu can have dinner in my palace before leaving!"
"Haha... then I won't be polite. It has to be you! You are more capable than your master." Mo Yan smiled happily.
Zhang Tiezhu on the side said happily: "Junior Sister Li Xiao, long time no see! I haven't seen you for three years and you have already broken through the True Devil Realm. You are indeed a mutant with dual spiritual roots."
"Senior Brother Tiezhu, you are not bad either! You have even broken through the Heavenly Demon Realm." Xiao Liyue said with a smile.
Zhang Tiezhu chuckled, feeling embarrassed by the compliment, and said, "I'm OK! But I'm still not as good as you, Junior Sister Li Xiao."
Because Mo Yan was too greedy for the wine brewed by Xiao Liyue, he interrupted their reminiscence and said anxiously: "Let's go into the hall first! I happen to be a little hungry today."
"Okay, Demon Lord, please follow me!" After saying that, he led the way to the backyard.
When they came into the house, Chi Yi and the others sat on the chairs, staring at Mo Yan and Zhang Tiezhu.
Mo Yan was shocked when he saw this and asked, "Are they all your pets?"
"Yes, Demon Lord, they have been with me since birth." Xiao Liyue said.
"No wonder. If it was an adult high-level divine beast, it would not be possible to easily contract with the demons. You are quite lucky. You can actually contract with four spirit beasts above the divine beast level at the same time. It seems that we underestimated you after all." Mo Yan said in surprise.
Zhang Tiezhu said with envy: "That's right, Junior Sister Li Xiao is really amazing."
Xiao Liyue just smiled and didn't say anything else. Chi Yi and the others would show up eventually, and she wasn't worried that Mo Yan and the others would spread the news.
After the dishes were distributed, she arranged for Chi Yi and the others to sit at another table, while she sat with Mo Yan and the others.
Just then, Di Junhan suddenly appeared in the room.
When Mo Yan saw him, he was very surprised and asked, "Jun Han, why are you back? Didn't you go into seclusion?"
"Why...it seems like you are not very willing to see me. Did I disturb you?" Emperor Junhan said coldly.
"Haha...how is that possible? I'm just curious why you didn't go into seclusion." Mo Yan smiled awkwardly.
The Emperor said coldly, "Oh? Really? What I heard just now was different from what I heard now. You seemed very happy when you found out that I was not in the palace."
Mo Yan didn't expect that he had been watching the whole time. This guy was indeed very sinister, so he coughed lightly and said, "Ahem... That's not the case. I'm just very happy to see that the Ice Palace has become such a beautiful place."
“Since you are so happy, then take out some good things to show your happiness. After all, if you want to eat the food cooked by my disciple, Dijun Han, you must show some sincerity.” After saying that, Dijun Han stretched out his big hand in front of him.
Xiao Liyue's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she couldn't help but give Di Junhan a thumbs up, her eyes full of admiration for him. She didn't expect that her master was so to her liking.
Di Junhan looked at her money-grubber look, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth that he didn't even notice.
When Mo Yan saw this, his master and disciple looked at each other and smiled. Mo Yan said unhappily, "I really can't do anything about you two. Take it, take it. This is my most valuable elixir. Even my disciple doesn't get a share." After saying that, he handed a bottle of elixir to Xiao Liyue.
