When Yu Yi woke up, the house was still dark.

She got up and lit a candle, then glanced at the clock on the table. It was already past midnight.

The windows of this family were covered with tiles, which were made of clam shells and polished into small pieces as thin as paper. They were pasted on the window frames one by one, showing a pearly luster.

Even if the scorching sun passed through the window, it would turn into frost on the ground. Now there was only one candle lit in the house, but it could also emit a soft glow under the reflection of the tiles on all sides, illuminating the entire room.

Yu Yi put on her clothes and opened the window a little. The sky outside was dim, and thick clouds covered the sky. She had a thunder spirit root in her body, so she was sensitive to the thunder and lightning in the air. It seemed that the heavy rain last night did not consume all the thunder and lightning in the clouds. @Infinite good writing, all in Jinjiang Literature City

"Liangzhou, Liangzhou..." Yu Yi stroked her chin and muttered, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said with some joy, "So it's here."

She remembered the record she had read in Fengwulu, which said that Liangzhou was a coastal city. There was an ascension platform on a reef island thirty miles away from Liangzhou. Once, a great man passed the calamity and ascended here, causing the gate of heaven to open.

The remaining power of the great man's calamity passed for a long time. Since then, every year when the great man's ascension is approaching, thunderstorms will appear near Liangzhou City, and the duration varies, from a short moment to ten days and a half.

In such weather, most ordinary people stay indoors and dare not go out. But for cultivators with thunder spirit roots, it is an excellent opportunity to temper their spirit roots.

Yu Yi was struck by lightning last night, and her thunder spirit roots absorbed the energy of thunder and lightning. After she absorbed it through meditation, she slept for a while and woke up. Now she feels refreshed and full of strength. She feels that she can turn into an electric pole and generate electricity for the people in the surrounding areas for a whole day.

Unfortunately, there are no electric lights in this world.

It is said that if you climb the Ascension Platform during a thunderstorm, you can see the wonders of the great ascension of that day. If there is a chance for ascension, the gate of heaven will open a gap for you, so that you can peek at the scenery of the fairyland and gain insights.

Now that she is here, Yu Yi naturally cannot miss such an opportunity. She quickly got dressed and pushed the door open to go out.

this time, Xue Mingyuan also came in from outside the courtyard with a large tray, bringing some breakfast and the fish that Senior Brother He had been feasting on for half the night.

The fresh smell of the fish floated into the window cracks, and there was a clang in the house. The next moment, the red-crowned crane flapped its wings to push open the window and flipped out.

Xue Mingyuan couldn't help laughing, squinting his eyes, "Ayi, eat something first, Senior Brother He woke up just in time."

He brought the plate into the hall, and Yu Yi followed him in, and put a few side dishes and cakes on the table.

Xue Mingyuan placed a bowl of soft and glutinous eight-treasure porridge in front of her and said, "When I got up in the morning, housekeeper Qi sent someone to ask us what we wanted to eat, so I asked them to make eight-treasure porridge. You try it, it should taste good."

Yu Yi scooped up the porridge with a spoon. The porridge base was very thick, with red dates, longans, peanuts, lotus seeds, etc. The ingredients were sufficient. A sweet fragrance came to her nose with the steaming hot air. Just by smelling the fragrance, her mouth began to secrete saliva automatically.

"Thank you." Yu Yi thanked him, took a sip, and said with a smile, "It's delicious."

The last time she ate eight-treasure porridge was when she was in Yunshan. Xue Chenjing cooked it for her. She didn't know where in the valley he collected the ingredients from. Although he put a lot of sugar, the porridge was a bit mushy.

The beans added to the porridge were all boiled into a mushy state, and it was impossible to tell what they were. In addition to sweetness, it was also mixed with a bit of mushy taste that could not be covered by the sweetness.

At that time, she only took a sip and spit out all the porridge in her mouth, putting down the spoon in disgust, saying that the porridge was mushy and not delicious.

Xue Chenjing was so angry that he wanted to eat someone. He was surrounded by the kind of gloomy aura that made her want to draw her sword, but he still pretended to be tolerant and smiled at her, apologizing that he accidentally dozed off for a while when he got up in the middle of the night to make porridge and didn't pay attention to the heat.

He tried softly and hard to coax her to take another bite. Only when she took a bite and swallowed it, he would complete the task.

Yu Yi refused to do so. In front of him, she took the water on the table to rinse her mouth. No matter how much he begged, she would not touch the bowl

of porridge. Xue Chenjing was at a loss. Finally, he took the bowl away from her in angrily, and with red eyes, he ate up the bowl of eight-treasure porridge with a burnt smell. Not only did he eat up the porridge in the bowl, he also ran into the kitchen angrily and ate up all the porridge in the pot. He

squatted by the stove and felt sick while eating.

Seeing him like this, Yu Yi felt a little guilty, wondering if she had gone too far, but then she heard the system shouting, "Master, please be patient, everything is for the favor of the heroine."

"Poisoning? No, no, no! Don't ever think so! You can't even think about it! Master, she is your wife!" @無限好文，盡在晉江文学城 "

You are about to vomit, which shows that this porridge is really not delicious, and it's not the heroine's fault. Hey, hey, don't be angry, it's my fault, the cooking method I provided is wrong, let's change the recipe and make another pot of porridge later..."

Yu Yi scooped a mouthful of porridge into her mouth, savoring the sweetness on the tip of her tongue. She found that when she was with Xue Mingyuan, she rarely heard the voice of the system, which made it difficult for people to see through his thoughts.

Xue Mingyuan noticed her expression and asked curiously, "What's wrong? What's wrong with this porridge?"

Yu Yi came back to her senses, looked up at him, and replied, "No, it's delicious. It's cooked just right. The rice is soft and glutinous, and the peanuts and lotus seeds are also soft and tender. They melt in your mouth."

Xue Mingyuan swallowed the food in his mouth, put down his chopsticks, and pretended to stand up and said, "If you like it, I'll get you another bowl."

Yu Yi hurriedly said, "No, no, I can't eat so much, one bowl is enough."

Xue Mingyuan sat down again. He ate slowly and leisurely. Not only did he pay attention to Yu Yi and push her favorite food to her, he also took the opportunity to take care of Senior Brother He.

Seeing it take a second look at a dish or cake, he would take the initiative to put some on the steamed fish plate.

He rubbed his hand to express his gratitude, and it seemed that he liked him very much.

When they had almost finished eating, Yu Yi put down her chopsticks, and Xue Mingyuan said, "These days, there are thunderstorms around Liangzhou City. To prevent people from getting injured when going out, the gates of Liangzhou City are closed, so we have to stay here for a few more days."

Yu Yi nodded, "Then we have to prepare some thank-you gifts."

"Don't worry about that." Xue Mingyuan reached out and poured her a cup of refreshing tea. He spoke at a leisurely pace with a pleasing rhythm, and said softly, "I heard from Butler Qi that the master family believes in Taoism and intends to let the young children in the family enter the path of cultivation, so I plan to copy a few enlightenment scriptures and give them to them as a thank-you gift."

If that's the case, this thank-you gift is indeed more to one's liking than money. After all, a family that can own such a gorgeous villa must not be short of money.

Yu Yi agreed and said, "Then I will also choose some basic sword manuals as a thank-you gift. If the child has the talent and opportunity to practice Taoism, he might also choose swordsmanship."

Xue Mingyuan nodded, "Okay."

Yu Yi wore a neat narrow-sleeved dress today. The white outer garment wrapped around the scarlet inner garment, and a red belt was tied around the waist, which tightly outlined a soft waistline. The white skirt had a gap, and when walking, a striking red skirt could be seen inside, appearing and disappearing from time to time, like a beam of skylight occasionally leaking out from the dark clouds.

Xue Mingyuan's eyes reflected that streak of red, and he asked, "Are you going out?"

"Well, I heard that there is an ascension platform outside Liangzhou, and you can see the gate of heaven in thunderstorms. I plan to go and take a look." Yu Yi looked up and looked out from the courtyard. The sky was covered with thick clouds, and there were faint lightning pillars wandering in the clouds. It was estimated that there would be another lightning and thunder soon.

Xue Mingyuan said with some envy, "It's a pity that only monks with thunder spirit roots have the opportunity to climb up to the ascension platform."

Yu Yi turned around to comfort him, "It doesn't matter. If I see it, I will come back and tell you what the gate of heaven looks like."

Senior Brother He was shocked by her last night. When he heard that she was going out in such weather, he couldn't even eat. He immediately slid off the table and hid under the table like a bird.

Yu Yi was angry and amused, "I know. I won't let you take me there."

Xue Mingyuan smiled and said, "I will take care of Senior Brother He. You can go early and come back early."

Yu Yi's gaze turned from Senior Brother He to Xue Mingyuan. Xue Mingyuan was gentle and considerate, and he was considerate, but he knew his limits and would not pester her indiscriminately like another person.

Yu Yi looked at him for a moment and nodded, "Okay, thank you." After

she finished speaking, she waved her hand to summon the Green Bamboo Sword, and her figure turned into a dazzling neon and flew into the dark sky.

Xue Mingyuan stared at the direction where she was going, frowned slightly as if he was uncomfortable, and raised his hand to rub his eyebrows. His brother was really too noisy, and his thoughts kept churning in his heart, making him restless.

Xue Chenjing tore the silk threads on his body with all his strength, even though the threads were still entangled around him tenaciously and cut deeply into his soul. He shouted, "You useless thing. You're scared by a little lightning strike. Why don't you follow her? You can't do it. Let me out and let me follow her!"

Xue Mingyuan didn't want to respond to him, but he was too noisy. The restless mood rolled in his heart and even affected him, making it difficult for him to calm down.

He exhaled lightly and soothed her softly, "Don't worry, she will come back."

Xue Chenjing calmed down suddenly, grasped the silk thread in front of him with five fingers, laughed after a while, and said with gritted teeth, "Yes, she will come back. Senior Brother He is still here. She handed Senior Brother He to you with confidence."

Xue Mingyuan turned around to look at the red-crowned crane that came out from under the table. Because of his words, his heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help feeling a little happy. Ayi was filled with joy and murmured, "Well, I'm honored."

Xue Chenjing: "..."

He was silent for a moment, and suddenly became even crazier, questioning, "Xue Mingyuan, do you like her? What do you have the right to like her? Take a look at the oath monument in your heart, she is mine! I did everything I could to get her!"

Ayi's favorability towards him was already 68%. Even if Xue Mingyuan had contributed a lot to this, there must also be a share that belonged to him!

He couldn't tolerate Xue Mingyuan taking away all of his share. What did he have the right to do so? !

Xue Mingyuan didn't respond to him again. He cleaned up the dishes on the table and sent them to the servants waiting outside the yard. He went back to wash his hands, spread out the rice paper, and recited the scriptures.

Senior Brother He wandered around the yard, and seeing the thunder and lightning start above his head, he quickly hid in the house, shaking his head to watch Xue Mingyuan write. After

Xue Mingyuan finished writing an article, he hung it on the rack next to him to dry. Senior Brother He saw him blowing air on the paper, so he waved his wings to help him fan the ink so that it would dry faster.

Xue Mingyuan reached out and touched his head, "Thank you, Senior Brother He."

The person in his heart seemed to be stimulated by this scene, and he began to tremble. Xue Chenjing had long known how likable Xue Mingyuan was. Everyone liked him, even Senior Brother He liked him more.

He lay in the cage woven by his parents. Every strand of his thoughts represented that they had chosen Xue Mingyuan and abandoned him. Even his parents were like this, let alone others.

Xue Chenjing's rebelliousness softened little by little, like a moth that finally accepted its fate and stopped fighting. He lowered his head and begged, "Brother, I was wrong. Don't like her. I can promise you anything, as long as you don't like her." Xue Mingyuan paused, and the ink

from the tip of the pen dripped onto the paper, blurring the word he had just written. This scripture has been written to the end, and there are only two or three words left to end it.

He put down his pen, lifted up the rice paper, and regretfully scanned the densely packed small characters on the paper. He crumpled the paper into a ball, crushed it with his spiritual power, and threw it out the window.

"I want you to destroy the monsters that coexist with you."

"Will you agree to this?"
