Chapter 199
6.
After taking care of the house, the reopened tavern was handed over to Mrs. Tianyin, Mrs. Ruhu, Hinai, and Hikaru.
The use of various farm equipment was handed over to Ubuyashiki Kōya, Rengoku Makijuro and others, and Qingxi was ready to set off.
She wasn't alone in going with him, Rengoku Kyojuro was also there.
Well, originally the sword men in Honmaru also wanted to follow them, but maybe they knew that they would be cursed if they disturbed other people’s love affairs, so this time, those sword men who wanted to make trouble were suppressed by the older sword men above them who were older than them.
"I'll leave the house to you," Qingxi said to the group that came out to see him off. "Of course, I guess you guys can't sit still, so help me hunt some prey and store it. I've left five sub-bags in the gourmet backpack for you. I've left them with the lord, so you can pick them up when you go out."
At the farm gate, Qingxi patted Jiro's head, who had grown quite a bit since he recently flew into the forest to hunt for food. "I'll take Jiro with me. We don't have any transportation along the way, and it'll cost a lot just for the ride."

"Hmm, Aki, where are we going now?" Sitting on Jiro's back, Rengoku Kyojuro asked while looking down curiously.
"Collecting ingredients..." Qingxi thought with a long tone. It was obvious that she had not decided where the first destination would be.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a river below. She patted Jiro and said, "Let's go take a look below. I seem to smell the fragrance of tea. The river below might be the Tea River."
After hearing the girl's words, Jiro adjusted the direction of his flight and dived towards the river below.
Puff——
I don't know if it was a coincidence, but when Jiro was carrying the two of them down, a huge river fish broke through the surface of the river and jumped into the air. As a result, before it fell back, it was caught by Jiro's three claws and thrown to the shore.
"We'll take a look over here, and you can eat the fish here."
Qingxi took a look at the fish caught by Jiro. Well, it was a catfish, capture level 2, weighing about 100 kilograms. Its nutrition was no different from that of ordinary fish.
Smelling the fragrance of tea, Qingxi walked along the river until he came to an area of river water that was a light green color, different from the surrounding river water.
I squatted down and looked into the river, where I saw countless tea tadpoles swimming comfortably. Their tails were swaying constantly and had two pieces of tender green tea leaves on them. As their tails swayed, the two tea leaves slowly emitted a thin green color. After being washed away by the surrounding river water, their color was assimilated by the surrounding river water.
Qingxi just took a look and put a large amount of tea into his food backpack without hesitation.
Don’t ask questions like whether drinking river water without boiling it will contain bacteria, because this is the world of gourmet food and they just won’t reason with you.
Looking at the young man beside him who was curiously imitating his own behavior and looking into the river, Qingxi took a teacup and dipped it into the river to scoop a cup of tea for him: "Try it."
Rengoku Kyojuro blinked his eyes, took the teacup handed to him and took a small sip. The next moment, the faint fragrance of green tea filled his entire mouth.
He was stunned for a moment, and at this moment his thoughts seemed to have been updated synchronously with his understanding of the world of food, instead of his ears understanding what he heard while his mind still maintained the inherent state of the world he lived in.
"As for collecting ingredients, there's no fixed place, so let's start here," Qingxi said.
She raised her hand. "The human world we live in in the Gourmet World only occupies a very small part of the entire world. A large part is the wilderness of forests, oceans, deserts, and wastelands. My Gourmet Backpack already has everything. I have also prepared multiple doses of serums, antibiotics, and medicines for various toxins that are available on the market. There is no need for the two of us to go into the city again... So let's go in this direction. If we cross over, I remember it should be the Strange Taste City. When the time comes, after resupplying there, I will take a plane to the Gourmet Desert."
…It’s a little hot there, and we drank a little, but it’s a vast area with few people, so we can go there and harvest some.”
He told the young man next to him about a small goal he had just sorted out.
Of course, she made this arrangement also for Rengoku Kyojuro's consideration.
When playing games, one would train a small account to a large one before fighting the big boss. Now, Kyojuro's knowledge of this world of food here is all through what he heard from others, and it is still difficult for him to integrate into it. Therefore, the process of capturing high-risk prey from the outskirts of the forest outside the food city where the beasts are not high in level all the way inside can allow him to continue to hone his swordsmanship while allowing him to quickly understand this wild part of the world.
Rengoku Kyojuro, not knowing what Qingxi was thinking, simply nodded and said, "Hmm, I'll listen to Aki."
Qingxi hesitated for a moment, raised her hand and rubbed his head, "Mm, so good, so good... Should I cooperate with this?"
The young man with flame-like hair tilted his head and thought seriously, then said, "Shouldn't you give me a kiss as a reward at this time, Ah Xi?
Isn't that how all the TV dramas are played out?"
Qingxi: “…”
It's only been a short time, Kyojuro, and you've been poisoned by those sweet little dramas?
And you even thought of applying what you learned right away... Should I praise you for being such a smart kid?
Facing the young man's bright eyes, she hesitated for a long time between cooperating and not cooperating. After a while, she asked, "Where do you want to kiss?"
The two strands of hair on Rengoku Kyojuro's head trembled, and he raised his hand and touched his lips. "Hmm, here."
Qingxi: “…”
If I hadn't seen your face blush, I would have really believed you.
"Then lower your head a little," she said.
There was a slight height difference between the two of them, and Qingxi wanted to cooperate, but she couldn't kiss him even when she stood on tiptoe.
The young man, his face flushed red, lowered his head obediently. The girl held his face with both hands and gently pressed her soft lips against the corner of his mouth.
...That should be enough.
Qingxi was thinking silently in her heart and was about to step back, when suddenly her waist was tightly hugged by a pair of hands. Before she could react, the young man deepened the kiss that was about to end.
Feeling a tongue whose temperature was higher than her body temperature prying open her mouth, and the breath unique to young people plundering her territory, Qingxi felt that her breathing was a little difficult.
Please forgive her clumsiness as a person who has never had a boyfriend in three lifetimes and whose understanding of kissing between men and women is limited to seeing it and having a theoretical understanding of it.
But... well, it's a little bit exciting.
Her strength was back, and she no longer had the confidence that came from being a weakling. She tried to regulate her breathing, hooked her arms around Rengoku Kyojuro's neck, and tried to respond to him.
Jiro, who was forced to be fed dog food, had a dead look in his dark eyes. He spread his wings, grabbed the cow and pig that were sneaking over to rest, and flew into the sky. When he reached the highest point, he loosened his claws and the cow and pig fell from the sky.
The huge vibration caused by landing should make the couple who are showing off their love more restrained.
8.
The two people who were showing off their love have restrained themselves.
She buried her face in Rengoku Kyojuro's arms, resisting the urge to cover her face.
That was definitely not me just now.
Qingxi tried hard to calm her disordered breathing, but her mind kept replaying the scene after the last kiss, where the thread made of their saliva shone silver in the sunlight...
Too, too sexy.
Yeah, it's too embarrassing.
Holding the young man's cloak tightly with both hands, Qingxi took a deep breath, raised his head and said seriously: "Kyojuro, promise me that you will never watch those little romance dramas again."
Little words can kill people!
Look what this owl has been taught to do.
Is this still the Kyojuro she knew?
I'm afraid he has gone from being a passionate young man to being in love.
Seeing the girl's red eyes and an angry look, Rengoku Kyojuro's eyes flashed with a deep light. The next moment, he held her chin and rubbed it against her head. He said vaguely, "Hmm, I understand."
"I know what it is." Qingxi was particularly dissatisfied with this answer. "That's why I hate the Japanese way of speaking with half-hearted and subtle beauty. If you agree, then agree. If you don't agree, then say something!!!"
"Hmm, aren't we supposed to collect food? Then let's hurry up." Rengoku Kyojuro tried to calm the irritated girl and abruptly changed the subject, "If we stock up now, we can save one more person later."
Things have come to this point. If she continues to talk about the previous topic, it would seem that she cares too much about it, and she would be "reluctant but shy". Qingxi felt aggrieved, but for the sake of face, she could only endure it.
"I'll go down to the river and take a look." Not wanting to see the owl for the time being, she took off her outer clothes, leaving only a vest and shorts. When the other party was completely shocked by such a scene and froze in place, she jumped up and jumped into the river like a nimble fish.
After bypassing the tea river area, Qingxi swam straight to the bottom of the river.
The river water was crystal clear and Qingxi's vision was completely unobstructed.
The creatures living in the river here are not of high level, generally between level 0-3.
Chocolate fish, waterweed candy, rice cake clams, colorful carp, pig shrimp...
Rengoku Kyojuro came back to his senses after the previous scene and took several deep breaths to prevent himself from losing his composure.
He waited on the shore for a long time but the girl didn't emerge from the river. In an instant, the ripple in his heart was replaced by worry. Just as he had untied his cloak and was about to go into the river to look for the girl, a bubble appeared in the center of the river. Soon, the girl's head emerged from under the water.
The sunlight hit the water girl, and Rengoku Kyojuro was stunned.
The young man, who had never seen a girl like this, felt that Aki was shining all over.
"Not a bad catch." Qingxi said cheerfully after swimming leisurely to the shore and being pulled ashore by the young man. "Wait a moment, I'll set up the tent and change my wet clothes first."
