"Disappeared? Rong'er, what do you mean?" Guo Jing looked confused, as did the others.
"I...I don't know. Just now, Nianci and I were about to put the dishes we had prepared on the other table when suddenly the dishes on the plate disappeared," Huang Rong said.
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances. They had been outside just moments before and hadn't seen anyone come in. Besides, even if someone had, it was impossible for them to have gone without anyone noticing, right? Unless the person wasn't human. Thinking of this, everyone involuntarily looked at Li Daoyi.
However, Li Daoyi was also completely bewildered. What was going on? What just happened? How come he didn't sense anything? This world was just a martial arts world. It was impossible for supernatural events to occur again except for him, right?
"Make another dish," Li Daoyi said.
"Okay." The two nodded.
Then he turned and went to the stove.
A short while later, a plate of fragrant vegetarian dishes was scooped out of the pot.
Mu Nianci carried the plate towards the group.
After taking only a few steps, the food on the plate disappeared in an instant, leaving the plate spotless as if it had never been used. Everyone stared in disbelief.
"Damn it!" Li Daoyi cursed out.
"Wait for me a moment." After saying that, Li Daoyi walked out of the kitchen and then flew directly into the sky.
Everyone walked out of the kitchen and looked at the sky in confusion.
"System, system." Li Daoyi called out to the system while flying in mid-air.
"Host, I'm here."
"What the hell are you doing? Stealing vegetables? QQ Farm?" Li Daoyi cursed directly.
Just moments after he disappeared, he sensed a faint energy fluctuation emanating from the system.
"Host, it wasn't the system's doing; it was that black egg," the system explained.
"What? Black eggs?"
Li Daoyi quickly opened his system inventory and saw that the black egg, which was originally in the first slot of the inventory, had actually moved to the sixth slot.
"Remove the black egg," Li Daoyi murmured.
"boom…"
A black egg, taller than a person, appeared out of thin air. Li Daoyi was startled and quickly reached out to catch it. Fortunately, although the black egg looked big, it was not heavy, and he could still hold it.
"..."
"What the hell are you?"
"Not only did you steal my points, you even stole my food," Li Daoyi asked.
The black egg swayed slightly but did not speak.
"Huh?" Li Daoyi was startled. The black egg didn't speak, but he felt a sense of pleasure coming from it.
"Stop messing around, okay? Why don't you go back to where you came from? I really can't afford to support you," Li Daoyi pleaded.
Soon, Li Daoyi sensed an unpleasant feeling.
"Whoosh..."
The black egg then disappeared and returned to the backpack.
"..."
"What a mess... System, look what you've done! You've given me a nemesis," Li Daoyi said helplessly.
"Sorry, host, this item is not in the system's database. The system cannot answer this question," the system replied.
"Let's talk this over, okay? Don't steal any, alright? If it's really necessary, leave some for us, okay?" Li Daoyi said helplessly, looking at the black eggs in his backpack.
The black egg spun around in the backpack.
“Hey, spin around, and I’ll take that as your agreement,” Li Daoyi said quickly.
"Points, points are the most important thing. There are too few points in this world, so it's useless for you to eat them. Why don't you not eat them for now, and wait until I go to a higher-level world in the future, then I'll get you lots of points." Li Daoyi took the opportunity to make another request.
The black egg showed no reaction, seemingly deep in thought. Li Daoyi's eyes were filled with expectation. If he allowed it to absorb the black egg, it would be useless for him to stay in this world for ten thousand years.
Suddenly, the black egg spun around again.
"Hahaha, thank you, thank you, ancestor!" Li Daoyi said happily.
"call out…"
The black egg disappeared from the backpack again, reappeared in front of Li Daoyi, and then slowly shrank to the size of a fist before gently floating onto Li Daoyi's shoulder.
"This is really a strange thing," Li Daoyi said helplessly. Being able to freely enter and exit the system, ignoring its rules, was beyond his comprehension.
Then a person and an egg fell from the sky.
"Master, what's that on your shoulder?" Yang Guo asked, puzzled, when he saw the egg on Li Daoyi's shoulder.
"Ancestors..."
"Ancestors?" Everyone was stunned.
"Alright, it's nothing. It was this guy who caused the trouble. Huang Rong, you guys continue cooking," Li Daoyi said.
Although it was still a bit strange, everyone stopped asking questions when they thought about Li Daoyi's identity.
Sure enough, the food the two made next did not disappear.
Soon, more than a dozen delicious vegetarian dishes were placed on the table, and everyone happily sat down to eat together.
"Gurgle..." The black egg jumped from Li Daoyi's shoulder onto the table, and then rolled to the front of Xiaolongnu.
The little dragon girl, who was eating in small bites, stopped when she saw the black egg.
"Keep eating, don't worry about it," Li Daoyi said to everyone.
No one paid any attention to it.
Little Dragon Girl glanced at the black egg, then continued eating what was in her bowl.
At this moment, the black egg gently approached the edge of her bowl.
Suddenly, Xiaolongnu sensed something, and her beautiful eyes immediately showed an expression of disbelief.
Then, Xiaolongnu used her chopsticks to pick up a bit of food and handed it to Hei Luan. The food suddenly disappeared when it was less than an inch away from him.
Soon, Yang Guo noticed Xiaolongnu's actions.
"Little Dragon Girl, what are you doing?" Yang Guo asked.
“It wants to eat,” Little Dragon Girl replied softly.
Everyone at the dinner table immediately looked over.
Next, Little Dragon Girl picked up some more food and handed it to Black Egg, and sure enough, the food disappeared again.
"Gurgle..."
The black egg spun around on the table, and a smile appeared on Xiaolongnu's cold face.
"What a strange thing," everyone couldn't help but think.
"Little Dragon Girl, can you hear it talking?" Li Daoyi asked.
Little Dragon Girl tilted her head, then shook it.
“I can feel it,” Little Dragon Girl said.
Li Daoyi gave Xiaolongnu a deep look; he felt he was becoming increasingly unable to understand this girl.
At this moment, Yang Guo and Wanyan Ping also picked up some food and handed it to Hei Luan, but Hei Luan completely ignored them and flew straight to Xiaolongnu's shoulder.
"Oh, it won't eat mine," Wanyan Ping said, pouting in dissatisfaction.
This little incident passed quickly. Huang Rong's cooking skills were indeed excellent, which made Li Daoyi, who originally had a lot of opinions about her, unable to help but change his opinion of her. After all, the Huang Rong he disliked was a character in the original novel and TV series. The current Huang Rong had not done so many things that made people hate her, had she?
In the following days, the black egg did not enter the system's inventory again. It was always on Li Daoyi's shoulder or Xiaolongnu's shoulder, and everyone gradually got used to the little thing's presence.
During this time, Li Daoyi tried to inquire about the origin of the black egg, but it did not respond to him at all. Even when he asked it through Xiaolongnu, the black egg did not answer. The black egg seemed to be angry and absorbed all the points that everyone had contributed in the past few days, which made Li Daoyi both amused and exasperated. So he did not ask it about its origin again.
Besides, Hei Luan gave Li Daoyi the feeling of a little child, a mischievous child.
The Song and Yuan dynasties finally formed an alliance, marking the second such alliance between the two countries. The Jin dynasty sent envoys to both countries to resolve the crisis, and the one sent to the Yuan dynasty was Wanyan Lie.
“Wanyan Lie, Master Li, I plan to go to Mongolia. Although Prince Wanyan is a Jin citizen, he is a good person. I am afraid that something may happen to him on his trip to the Yuan Dynasty,” Qiu Chuji said.
"Dao Yi, I'll go too. Ping'er begged me to let her help if her father is in danger," Dongfang Bubai said.
“Wanyan Lie, I’ve also learned about him. It’s said that he was ostracized in the Jin Dynasty. His trip to the Yuan Dynasty might be part of a conspiracy. Those nobles in the Jin Dynasty are capable of anything for power,” Guo Jing, who had always been concerned about national affairs, couldn’t help but say.
Everyone immediately suggested going to Mongolia.
“As I said before, war is inevitable, so let’s try our best not to harm the people. The world will eventually unite after a long period of division, and now it’s time to unify the world.” Li Daoyi slowly stood up.
"Master, do you intend to interfere in the war?" Ma Yu asked.
Li Daoyi did not reply, but instead stretched out his hand.
"Clang..."
The sound of a sword being drawn came from the bedroom.
"Whoosh..."
The steel sword flew out and was caught by Li Daoyi.
"Clang, clang..."
Li Daoyi stretched out his hand and gently flicked the sword twice.
"Well? Do you have the answer to the question I asked you back then?" Li Daoyi said, pointing at the sword.
Qiu Chuji, Ma Yu, Guo Jing, and the others looked at Li Daoyi with confusion, not understanding what he was talking about.
"Wow..." Yang Guo exclaimed excitedly.
Suddenly, a white light flashed from the sword. Everyone involuntarily took a few steps back.
"Buzz..."
A white light shot into the sky from the sword, and a figure appeared in mid-air above the courtyard.
"Lord Yue!" Yang Guo exclaimed excitedly.
The others stared blankly at the golden figure in the air.
“Yue… Yue Fei, Yue Wumu.” Huang Rong was the first to come to her senses. She recalled that Hong Qigong had mentioned in a letter that Yue Fei had appeared in spirit form.
"What? Yue Fei?" Guo Jing and the others were shocked.
“Brother Guo, this is indeed Yue Fei,” Mu Nianci said.
"thump…"
Guo Jing immediately knelt down, and then Huang Rong also knelt down.
"Greetings, Marshal Yue," the two said, bowing.
Yue Fei's spirit descended from the sky, and then a voice came from the air.
"The common people."
Li Daoyi smiled; he was very satisfied with the answer.
"Whoosh..."
Then the strange phenomenon of Yue Fei's spirit returning to the sky above the sword disappeared.
"bite…"
"bite…"
The system notification sounded again.
"Gurgle..." The black egg appeared out of nowhere and jumped onto Li Daoyi's shoulder again, as if examining the sword in his hand.
"Master, what did you mean just now?" Guo Jing asked, puzzled.
Li Daoyi then recounted the two questions he had asked about Yue Fei's tomb.
"For the Song Dynasty, or for the people of the world?" Guo Jing murmured.
"Master Guo, what about you? Now I'm asking you this question, how will you answer it?" Li Daoyi said with a smile.
