Chapter 284: First encounter.
Zhao Banpan held the fish basket in his arms, looking at this and sniffing that, as if he could no longer hold back, and two ears suddenly popped out from his temples.
The furry dark golden lines made Wen Yu wonder if he would transform into his original form again in the next moment.
Zhao Banban, who was shaking his head at this moment, was completely different from the noble and arrogant little immortal master just now. If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would never have been able to connect the two together.
"Well... a big cat is also a cat?" Zhao Buwen hesitated for a moment, and answered half-coaxingly and half-deceivingly, and stroked Zhao Banban's head to hide his two shaking ears.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Banban became his elegant and dashing self again.
Even though he knew she would say that, Wen Yu still couldn't help but choke, "..."
Zhao Buwen looked around and took in the current situation. "I'm sorry for being so naughty and making the Emperor and you all laugh at me."
Among all the people present, she was only barely familiar with the Emperor.
Still with that cold and icy look, Taihao's expression was indifferent and without any fluctuation. He just nodded slightly in response.
Zhao Buwen didn't argue with him. After all, the emperor's symptoms were not just a matter of three to five days, or six to seven days. It was likely that he had not had any other thoughts in the tens of millions of years since he was born.
Even though she was far away in the Central Heaven, she had heard about his unfriendly temper.
"So this guy...Banban is really Bu Wenjun's mount?" Dan Qing poked his head out from Tai Hao's side and asked curiously.
He had only fallen asleep for a short while as his master descended to the mortal world. How come when he woke up one day, he had no idea when Zhao Buwen, the God of Wealth in the Central Road, had acquired such a rare mount?
It's really rare to see one with a mouth full of fangs and a body covered with wings.
"I've told you so many times, the word 'Banpan' doesn't mean you—" Zhao Banpan put down the fish basket in his hand and glared at him with an unhappy face.
Do these people have ears?
As if she could no longer bear it, or as if she had found a backer, Zhao Banpan pulled Zhao Buwen's sleeve and complained to her, "Awen! Help me beat him!"
Although he left home in anger, as soon as Ah Wen appeared, he forgot everything and only wanted her to avenge him.
"That's right." Zhao Buwen raised his sleeve to hold down the displeased Zhao Banpan and smoothed his hair. "But he doesn't really like people calling him Banpan. Please don't be offended, Immortal Envoy."
Dan Qing pursed his lips and tactfully kept quiet.
If someone suddenly appeared and called him Dandan or Qingqing, he would probably not want to agree.
After saying this, Zhao Buwen seemed to remember something and turned to talk about the past with Wen Yu, "Come to think of it, I did meet Wen Yujun once before."
It was indeed a chance encounter.
But it’s hard to say whether it’s fate or curse.
"I know. It was also in this Xianchun cottage that day." Wen Yu raised his eyes and swept across the yard which was almost completely turned to ashes, and sighed unhappily.
In the past, she had low magical powers and was trapped in Xianchun Cottage. Fortunately, she was rescued by Bu Wenjun and the situation was turned around. It was at that time that she met Zhao Banpan.
At that time, he was still a big golden cat.
Looking at the immortal master in front of him wearing a purple gold robe and a white jade crown, the God of Wealth Temple naturally has no shortage of such clothes, but——
Wen Yu couldn't help but sigh that it was really not easy for him to cultivate this human form.
As if he could guess what Wen Yu was thinking, Zhao Buwen smiled and slowly explained, "Banban's magical power was limited at that time, so what Wen Yujun saw was not his true form."
Although Bu Wenjun didn't continue speaking, Wen Yu roughly understood what he meant.
As for his true form, it must be the same as what everyone saw just now.
"Banban was the nickname I gave him back then." Thinking of the round-headed and chubby Banban back then, she still felt that this name suited him better.
As he spoke, Zhao Buwen stretched out two fingers to pinch the white silk that was fluttering around, and then brushed it behind him. "Now his name is Zhu Zhao, and his nickname is Shi Ming."
The white silk moved along with it, brushing against Zhao Ban's nose, causing him to sneeze uncontrollably.
The candle is bright.
Wen Yu raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't know how the little kitten back then became the big tiger today, but she did know one thing.
Back in Houchun Mountain, Bu Wenjun came looking for her mount. Now, by the Yuan River, Bu Wenjun braved the freezing cold to fish and apologize...
How come after all these years, Bu Wenjun still has the patience to play such tricks with Zhu Shiming?
"You two never get tired of the drama of him running away and her chasing you..." Wen Yu was silent for a moment, and finally managed to utter half a sentence. She even raised her sleeve in an exaggerated manner to wipe away the non-existent sweat.
Zhao Buwen patted Zhuzhao's back to calm him down. He looked at how wet he was, with his hair disheveled, and he was sneezing and coughing at the same time, looking really miserable.
I told him a long time ago that life out there is not easy.
But he refused to believe it and ran away from home empty-handed, without even taking the dried fish that he had secretly hung in the Temple of the God of Wealth.
Zhao Buwen didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, but he still raised his sleeves to inject magic power into him to dry his clothes.
Zhao Banban, who already had a stunning appearance, looked even more handsome and imposing after being dressed up like this.
This is the grandeur of the Three Points God of Wealth Temple.
Zhao Buwen pursed his lips and chuckled, then politely apologized to Wen Yu and said, "Wen Yujun, that's not true. It's just the same."
Without waiting for Wen Yu's reply, she lazily turned her gaze to the silent Tai Hao and asked, suppressing a smile, "Emperor, do you agree or disagree?"
What was strange was that Tai Hao, who was usually calm and composed, actually frowned slightly after she said this.
He had heard from Ju Mang that Zhao Buwen was a troublemaker, but he never expected him to be so noisy.
"Didn't you know this all along?" Wen Yu didn't have time to ponder the deeper meaning of her words. He was only concerned with solving the current problem. "The man-eating monster on this mountain is your family... Zhu Shiming."
Otherwise, why would she be waiting at the foot of the mountain in the freezing cold, fishing alone on the bank of the Yuanshui River for no reason?
"Hmm..." Facing Wen Yu's questioning, Zhao Buwen remained calm and composed. He just stroked his chin with one hand and thought slowly, "I guess I know."
She had indeed been guarding the foot of the mountain for several days and had heard a little about what Panpan had done.
Although she did let him do what he wanted and did not stop him, since he did not cause any trouble and saved people, what was wrong with letting him do what he wanted?
However, for Wen Yujun, whom she met on the banks of the Yuanshui River early in the morning, her behavior seemed a bit unkind.
"I don't want to hear you—" Wen Yu was furious, but she had no place to vent. "Do you know how worried the people of Jiangyang are about this so-called man-eating monster?"
In the end, it would be fine if it was someone else, but Zhu Shiming was Bu Wenjun's mount. If this incident were brought to the Heavenly Palace, he would probably not be able to escape the crime of negligence no matter what.
Zhao Buwen knew he was in the wrong, so he quickly apologized and pleaded with Wen Yu, "Well... just consider it as Wen Yu-jun helping me out this time?"
She did intend to lure Wen Yujun into Jiangyang to investigate. It would be best if she could rescue the people and take care of Banban along the way, just like she was doing now. Then, when he was trapped, she would swoop down from the sky...
First, Wen Yujun solved the case;
Secondly, she was also looking for a reason to reconcile with Banban.
It can be said to be the best of both worlds.
But even if she had planned everything out, she had indeed overlooked how frightened the people of Jiangyang would be under the current situation.
"Didn't I help you once that day? Cause and effect are cyclical, and we are mutually dependent." Zhao Buwen's voice became weaker, without the previous spirit, and even gradually had a hint of pleading in his voice.
However... she didn't dare to recognize this man-eating monster.
"Who is the man-eating monster?"
Zhuzhao, who was feeling somewhat smug about the word "your home" in her words, dropped the fish basket and rushed towards Wenyu aggressively.
"I think you are the man-eating monster!"
Zhao Buwen put his arm around his waist and restrained him effortlessly, then gave Wen Yu and the others an apologetic smile, "Don't be offended, don't be offended..."
Yu Chang didn't waste any more time talking to him. He walked forward with a gloomy face to take the fight. He really wanted to know whether Zhao Banban had made any progress in his cultivation over the years.
But Wen Yu was even faster than Yu Chang and tightly stopped his hand.
Wen Yu was depressed, but she didn't want Yu Chang to have a head-on conflict with Zhu Shiming.
She and Zhao Buwen each took care of their own people, fearing that a fierce battle would break out if they were not careful.
Although Zhao Banpan was clearly no match for Yu Chang, she didn't know what Yu Chang had been through in the past half day. She didn't want Yu Chang to waste his energy and attention. Moreover, since Bu Wenjun was not here, it was not the time to fight.
Tai Hao, who was sandwiched between the two, couldn't help but close his eyes. It was really... lively.
As everyone was in a stalemate, Dan Qing suddenly moved his ears, and then he heard a sound -
"Fairy?" The voice was crisp and clear, with three parts hesitation and seven parts surprise. "Is it you?"
Wen Yu's eyes moved, and she felt that there was something indescribably familiar. Before she could turn around to investigate, the person who came walked past her and walked quickly towards Bu Wenjun.
"Fairy, it's me, I am--" The figure who was focused and hurried forward looked very anxious.
For some reason, even without any other reminders, Wen Yu suddenly guessed who he was.
"You are...A Li?" Zhao Buwen was not too surprised, and his eyes were even full of admiration and approval.
It seemed as if he had already anticipated who the visitor was.
For a moment, Zhao Banban and Yu Chang both stopped talking, and everyone's eyes fell on the person in front of them.
As he said, Ah Li had indeed transformed, and she was an unusual beauty.
As if his original body was a tree, Ah Lisheng's figure was tall and straight, and very handsome, just like the first drop of dew hanging on the hawthorn tree in the early morning.
The way the corners of his clothes flutter in the wind is a unique expression of the youthful vigor.
Wen Yu and the others didn't mind and just waited and watched what would happen.
But Zhao Banban's eyes rolled around, and he stared at the newcomer with some caution, then looked at Zhao Buwen beside him——
The concern on her face almost overflowed.
"A Li, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Buwen was surprised and happy. She didn't expect that the little tree from that day would now turn into such an exquisite and beautiful figure.
Ah Li pursed her lips and chuckled when she heard that, and couldn't help but lower her head and look around herself.
He still remembered what the fairy had said to him: "Next time we meet, you must cultivate into a human form."
He was very satisfied with his appearance and hoped that the fairy would like it.
"I heard some noise behind me, so I came to take a look." Ah Li looked at Zhao Buwen intently, not even blinking, and was reluctant to look away.
Seeing the atmosphere becoming strange, Zhao Banban's doubts gradually turned into displeasure, "What do you mean by Ali Awai?"
