Chapter 338 Compensation (2)
Ji Rong then grabbed another piece of cooked meat, about to put it in her mouth, when she heard this and asked in surprise, "Senior brother, now that I think about it, most of the spiritual fruits and herbs we eat are probably just illusions of weeds. How come there is still mud in your stomach?"
Qing Guanzi said embarrassedly, "Since I've made insects, I can't avoid eating some, but this time I've eaten way too much."
Ji Rong didn't believe it. She exclaimed, "Senior brother, don't lie to me. Although I am a bird, I know that worms love to eat tender leaves, but they don't eat mud."
Qing Guanzi laughed and said, "Junior sister, when Yuanjun holds his next banquet, you will be eaten by Yuanjun just like your senior brother and sink to the bottom of the pool. You will then know that the bottom of the pool is a dream world of its own, which is extremely fun."
Ji Rong glanced at Qing Guanzi's opening and closing mouth, her eyes darting around, and immediately drew out the three swords.
She swiftly used the knife handle to prop open Qing Guanzi's palate, grabbed Qing Guanzi's tongue with one wing claw, preventing his mouth from closing, and then used her claw to stuff the piece of cooked meat that she hadn't yet had a chance to enjoy into Qing Guanzi's mouth.
As she stuffed the food into her mouth, she exclaimed, "Senior brother, you have developed an aversion to eating, but coincidentally, I, your junior sister, am quite skilled in treating this condition!"
After stuffing one of the vegetables into Qing Guanzi's mouth, Ji Rong then stuffed many more spiritual vegetables into Qing Guanzi's mouth.
Then, she took a small knife from the three knives and stabbed the ingredients into Qing Guanzi's throat. She opened her mouth full of sharp teeth and said fiercely, "Senior brother, since you like to play so much, you'd better swallow the food. Otherwise, I don't mind cutting a line on your tongue."
As Qing Guanzi watched Ji Rong grip the knife in his claws, his aura rising powerfully, and his fierce expression suggesting he was about to slash out Qing Guanzi's tongue, he involuntarily swallowed.
The food in the throat was swallowed down into the stomach and intestines with this sound, and the body finally sensed the real spiritual energy. It no longer rejected the newly acquired food and began to function naturally.
Once you've taken the first bite, the second bite of Qingguanzi goes much more smoothly.
Seeing that Qing Guanzi could swallow, Ji Rong disregarded the quality and stuffed the half-cooked meat into Qing Guanzi's mouth, mixing it with the spiritual vegetables.
After stuffing himself with food, Qing Guanzi was about three-tenths full when Ji Rong withdrew his three swords.
With a stern face, she extended one of her winged claws, nimbly rotating its knuckles before pointing it at Qing Guanzi's eyes and exclaiming, "Senior brother, you clearly know that there's nothing real to eat at the Yuanjun Banquet except for wine, so why didn't you tell me? If I had known, I certainly wouldn't have eaten."
Even if I wanted to watch a play, wouldn't I bring my own spiritual food to go with the wine? Why bother eating those weeds and scraps!
You even made a bet with Youhe about whether I would come after you, that's just too much!
"Alright, now it's time for you to keep your promise and compensate me."
Qing Guanzi, however, put on a kind expression and looked at Ji Rong, saying, "Junior sister, if you had known, you certainly wouldn't have gone, would you?"
Ji Rong pouted and said, "The Yuanjun is rich in the Moon Shadow Mountains, how could he try to fool us with something like this? Although His banquet was extremely novel and beautiful, it was still too shabby."
Qing Guanzi laughed and said, "Junior sister, Yuanjun is indeed rich in the Moon Shadow Mountains, but have you noticed that besides nocturnal creatures, there are only inanimate objects in those mountains? Have you ever met any cultivators outside who claim to be from the Moon Shadow Mountains?"
Ji Rong thought about it and realized she had never seen it before.
If you don't understand, you should ask. Ji Rong withdrew her claws and asked, "Why is that?"
Qing Guanzi closed his eyes and said, "Because Yuanjun is the ruler of the night, the moonlight is the manifestation of the convergence of the thoughts of Yuanjun and all living beings. Therefore, under the moonlight, those spiritual herbs and fruits are real."
But when the radiance of the Primordial Sovereign fades and she no longer favors him, all of this will return to its true nature.
Unless one believes in the Primordial Lord and becomes His subject, but in that case, one can only live in His dreams, like those jade carvings, waiting for the night to come before they can move.
This is truly a case of deluding oneself into a dream.
Ji Rong nodded, then stretched out her paw again and cried out, "Senior brother, I've heard the story of Yuanjun. Now it's time for you to make it up to me."
Qing Guanzi opened his eyes and said helplessly, "Junior sister, how much do you want?"
Ji Rong followed suit, saying, "How much do you have, Senior Brother? Where is your treasure trove? It would be even better if I could pick some out."
Qing Guanzi looked at Ji Rong, chuckled, and patted his belly, saying, "They're all here, Junior Sister, would you like to come in?"
Ji Rong drew three more knives and made a feint towards Qing Guanzi's belly, saying, "Senior brother, you can take it out yourself, or I can cut it out for you. You choose."
She used her knife to drive Qing Guanzi out, saying, "Senior brother, it's not good for your health to stay in this dark cave all day."
Anyway, your two junior disciples are managing your business, so it doesn't matter whether you're here or not. Come with me to the Danxue Mountains; you can help me rebuild my hometown. Who knows, you might even become an immortal while you're there!"
As Qing Guanzi slowly wandered through the cave, he sighed, "What's the point of living so long? It'll only get more and more meaningless."
"So you should go out even more!" Ji Rong sneered. "Don't worry, senior brother. As long as you're willing to listen to me, I, your junior sister, will definitely not let you be bored. I guarantee you'll have an even more mesmerizing experience than at the Night Banquet."
As she spoke, Ji Rong leaned closer to Qing Guanzi and asked mysteriously, "Senior brother, would you like to live a different kind of dragon life?"
Upon hearing the words "psychedelic, unique," Qing Guanzi's appetite was immediately piqued. He said, "Junior sister, please tell me."
Ji Rong grinned and said, "Give me the treasure and come with me to the Danxue Mountains, and I will explain everything to you in detail."
Qing Guanzi's eyes lit up, and he immediately began searching the simple cave dwelling. Before long, he found thirty-five storage rings.
Ji Rong examined each of the storage rings and put them into her own storage ring string, but still complained, "Senior brother, your items are very old and there are too few of them."
After thinking for a while, Qing Guanzi searched around again and found eleven storage rings that looked like they had been buried for a long time in the nooks and crannies of the cave.
Having acquired much treasure, Ji Rong was completely satisfied.
She went outside, summoned She Shu, and said, "Nephew She Shu, we're leaving now."
When you have free time, you must visit Shoudao Mountain more often. You have two apprentices who are staying on my mountain now, and they have no elder to supervise them.
One is talented but incredibly lazy, the other diligent but lacks initiative. You should occasionally go up the mountain to give them a nudge, lest they neglect their formation skills.”
She Shu felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this, and immediately knew who the two people Ji Rong was referring to were. She bowed her head respectfully and said, "Thank you for your care, Martial Uncle. I will bring them back another day."
Ji Rong waved her hand and laughed, "No way, I'm still counting on them to guard the mountain for me, and I've already paid them."
I only told you this today because I saw you, so they won't become complacent and you won't blame me later.
After giving instructions to She Shu, Qing Guanzi carried Ji Rong up the cliff.
They arrived at the foot of the Cloud Cliff. Ji Rong flapped her wings and went up to take a look. She heard Qing Pingzi and Jiao Jue still discussing the feasibility of capturing power to create immortals, as well as the difference between their creation of gods and Xi Zhu's creation of gods.
Ji Rong then took Qing Guanzi to the Octagonal Palace and asked the nephew guarding the Octagonal Palace to perform a puppet show for them.
Only after Qingpingzi and Jiaojue finished talking did they bid farewell to Qingpingzi and head towards the Danxue Mountains.
Before leaving, without asking Ji Rong for anything, Qingpingzi gave Ji Rong several storage rings that were stuffed full.
This made Ji Rong very happy, and made Qing Guanzi, who was watching from the side, very envious. He even stretched his big head in front of Qing Pingzi, but Qing Pingzi only glanced at him and said, "Guanshan, speaking of which, Qing Jizi has set up an industry for you. Have you been sharing the profits with her every year?"
Upon hearing this, Qing Guanzi immediately stepped back, which made Ji Rong chuckle inwardly.
