Chapter 308 Playing Around
Before Jiaojue returned to Shoudao Palace, Ji Rong had already regained consciousness, but upon tasting the source of the flavor in her mouth, she instantly did not want to get up.
Ji Rong let Gu Qingqing feed her the source of the water, spoonful by spoonful. After she was full, she tilted her head and continued to sleep soundly.
Completely unaware that the curve of her lips and the wings that involuntarily spread outwards had already revealed the fact that she was pretending to be asleep.
Ji Rong slept soundly until dusk.
She had just woken up when she felt hungry, so she secretly opened her eyes a crack and peeked outside.
She noticed some noises outside, and Ji Zhuang, Feng Qing, and Gu Qingqing, who had been anxiously surrounding her, were all gone.
Looking at her bare room, devoid of even a drop of spiritual water, and hearing the cheerful laughter outside, as well as smelling the aroma of wine wafting in through the cracks, Ji Rong felt a strong urge to sip her drink.
So she quietly went to the door and secretly peeked out through the crack.
Jiao Jue led the three of them to sit on the corridor outside her room and share a blue-gold wine that Ji Rong had never seen before!
This is outrageous! Ji Rong immediately opened the door, looked at them in disbelief, and shouted, "Well, well! You actually dared to put me in here alone and openly share the food!"
As soon as Ji Rong said this, Jiao Jue continued pouring the soup for Feng Qing, but Gu Qingqing burst into laughter, her four paws moving so hard she almost spilled the soup from the bowl.
The honest Ji Zhuang turned his head to look at Ji Rong and said, "Little sister, you've turned bad. You're already awake, but you're pretending to be asleep to trick us into taking care of you."
Just then, Jiao Jue used its third claw to pick up an empty bowl from the ground, waved it at Ji Rong, and said, "Aren't you coming over here?"
Seeing the swaying bowl in front of her, Ji Rong immediately flapped her wings and rushed forward.
She plopped down on the ground, took the bowl, and exclaimed happily, "Thank you, brother!"
After receiving the blue-gold wine, Ji Rong took a sip and discovered that the wine was made by mixing the source of the sixth-grade blue pear fruit.
"What a brilliant idea!" Ji Rong exclaimed as she drank.
Gu Qingqing then brought the bowl to Ji Rong's side, squinting her eyes and saying smugly, "Arong, this wine is a new one I made. What do you think of the taste? Do you find it exceptionally fragrant?"
Ji Rong nodded as she drank, then muttered, "It tastes good, but why are we squatting in the corridor to drink it?"
Jiao Jue glanced at Ji Rong, picked up the bowl, drank the wine in it in one gulp, and laughed, "That depends on why you pretended to be asleep."
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong chuckled and said, "Brother, I don't do that all the time!"
Jiaojue stretched out his neck, squinted, and gritted his teeth, saying, "But you do this every now and then."
Ji Rong also drank the wine in her bowl in one gulp. She raised her head, flapped her wings, and revealed a mouthful of sharp fangs. She said confidently, "Big brother, I've been really tired lately. I just want to be a little spoiled sometimes. What's wrong with letting you pamper me?"
"I'm so old now, if I didn't pretend, how could I really lie down?"
"Hahaha..." As soon as Ji Rong said this, Gu Qingqing burst into laughter, pointing at Ji Rong, winking and shaking her head at Jiao Jue, "Big...Big brother, look, A-Rong...she's the laziest! Hahaha..."
This time, Jiao Jue did not refute Gu Qingqing. Looking at the cultivators who were already fighting, he felt a sense of peace and vitality in his heart. Immortality was not as good as the freshness before his eyes.
Whether one is a god or a dragon, one is merely a creature in this world, needing only one meal a day to survive.
After Ji Rong and the others finished laughing, Jiao Jue took out the Chaohua Water that Yuan Jun had given him.
He poured some for Ji Rong and the others, then took the small jar and drank from it, saying, "Silly bird, I went to see Yuanjun, but he didn't have a very good way to let me cultivate the Way of Faith like him."
As Ji Rong was tasting the bland water that shimmered with a faint white light, she heard these words and took out the jade pot containing the remaining source water, saying, "Brother, you attained godhood through acquired cultivation. Even if you don't switch to another path, you can conserve this source water. It's not much different from before."
Jiao Jue looked at the jade bottle that Ji Rong handed over, patted his belly, and smiled with narrowed eyes: "Keep this safe. Yuan Jun told me the same thing."
To be honest, when we first met in the desolate sea, I was only thinking about surviving and planning how to count my treasures and live a life of wealth until I died. I never imagined that things would turn out this way.
However, I can't live with myself if I continue to be a god who has no authority.
"Silly bird, you said that in your dream the celestial phenomena change with the seasons, the sun and moon rise and set on time, and all living beings can become immortals or gods, enjoying endless delicacies. How wonderful!"
Ji Rong, holding her bowl, clinked it against Jiao Jue's and said, "Brother, that was just a dream, it can't be taken seriously. Why are you being so sentimental?"
Jiaojue poured the remaining Chaohua Water into his mouth and said, "It's something I learned from you, since you used to talk about it to me every day."
The earth's veins in the Danxue Mountains have cracked; repairing them will require a great deal of treasure.
Ji Rong drank the water in one gulp, then put the bowl on the ground.
She flapped her wings and whispered in Jiao Jue's ear, "Brother, don't worry. You don't know this, but when I sent the Mountain and Water God away that day, the authority of the Witch God must have gone in with Him. As for the cracks in the earth's veins, we should wait for Him to come out so that He can repair them."
Jiaojue's eyes lit up at the suggestion, but he shook his head again and said, "That would be good, but if it doesn't come out for hundreds of years, are we just going to wait? Colorful Bird, would you be willing to come back to the Danxue Mountains with us?"
Without a second thought, Ji Rong nodded emphatically at Jiao Jue and said, "What's there to be unwilling about? We've lived in the desolate sea, so I don't think the Danxue Mountains will be any worse."
When I first came to Jade Void Palace, it was only to hide the Mountain and Water God. Later, by chance, I was taken in as a junior sister by Senior Brother Wanfa, which elevated my status. Not only is there profit to be made, but we can also help each other.
But since we're not relying on the Mountain and Water Gods anymore, and we're not going back right now, we need to have more ways to protect ourselves and more wealth before we go back; otherwise, it's pointless.
After Ji Rong finished speaking, the dragon, the two birds, and the two foxes looked at each other, seeing the unwavering reflection of themselves in each other's eyes.
In the silence, Gu Qingqing whispered, "As long as we're together, it doesn't matter what it's like."
Her voice was soft, but everyone heard it clearly. Ji Rong patted her hand and agreed, "Sister Qingqing is right!"
Jiao Jue's eyes swept past Feng Qing's eyes, paused for a moment, then looked at Gu Qingqing and Ji Zhuang, and then squinted and stroked its paw in agreement: "That's right, so you two must cultivate well! Ji Rong has an anomaly in her body, so she will naturally advance faster, but you two must cultivate more on a daily basis and not slack off."
Ji Rong picked up the bowl again and asked Jiao Jue in a cheerful tone, "Brother, what is this?"
Jiao Jue laughed and said, "It is the Morning Glory Water given to me by the Primordial Lord, but it tastes no different from dew."
"It's Yuanjun's stuff!" Upon hearing this, Ji Rong immediately held the bowl and said with heartache, "Brother, His stuff should have been drunk on the spot. Bringing it back would have been a waste."
Jiao Jue sneered, "Who told you to pretend to be asleep and not get up? You deserve a beating."
But Ji Rong had already shrunk her neck in, like a quail. Jiao Jue laughed again, "Alright, Yuanjun said she's going to hold a Nightlight Banquet soon, and there will be Yin Hua Dew at the banquet. Let's go and have some together then."
Ji Rong and the others' eyes lit up when they heard this. They put down their bowls and surrounded Jiao Jue, chanting "Big Brother is so great! Big Brother is so mighty! Big Brother is so domineering!" until Jiao Jue's eyes narrowed into slits and his tail kept wagging.
