????In the small hut, Jin Li kept tapping the table with his fingers, his handsome brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
Xiao Lanhua also sat opposite Jin Li, looking like a child who had done something wrong. She didn't dare to say a word. After all, Xiao Lanhua was not sure whether Jiuxi had really found Shenhe.
At this moment, Jiuxi came in covered in dirt. Not only was her body covered in dust, but her mouth was also filled with black, sticky dirt. She suddenly spat, took off the vegetable leaves on her head, and said incoherently, "God, I need to take a bath."
Last time, when she was covered in the smell of chicken feathers and chicken blood, she wanted to take a shower, but this time, she couldn't stand it anymore. The thought of those earthworms crawling around her made her feel sick.
Jin Li smiled, his dark eyes unable to discern any emotion, and asked, "Where have you been?"
He didn't look down on her at all, instead there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
Although Jiuxi knew that Jin Li had done so many wrong things in ancient times, he still took into consideration the fact that Jin Li was still possessed by the evil spirit, and said kindly, "Look at me like this, of course I have been hiding in the earth for a day."
Jin Li thought she wanted to take this opportunity to go to Shenhe, so his expression grew even colder as he asked, "You want to leave the God Realm?"
Jiuxi blinked and said in a tougher tone, "Can you let me take a shower first before talking to you? My mouth is full of dirt!"
In the end, Jin Li threw her into a mountain spring like a chicken, and then turned his back and left. Jiuxi thought, in this divine world, if a monster suddenly appeared, it would be better to wash both the person and the clothes together.
About half an hour later, Jiuxi finally came ashore dripping wet. She straightened her wet clothes and felt much better. Even the sun looked brighter.
The most important thing is that this mountain spring water is still a little warm. I didn’t expect that there is such a secluded place in the divine world without those fogs.
Jin Li, however, had already sat cross-legged, brewing a pot of tea. Seeing Jiu Xi coming in, still dripping wet, he subconsciously twisted his fingers together, and Jiu Xi's clothes and hair were dried. Jin Li's dark eyes were filled with tenderness, and he made a gesture of invitation, saying, "This tea is grown by this mountain spring, and it also has the refreshing fragrance of the mountain spring. Jiu Xi, would you like to try it?"
For some reason, Jiuxi felt a little sad when she looked at the lone and proud figure. She thought, it turns out that gods are lonely too. But Jiuxi sat down immediately, took a teacup, and poured a cup of tea from the teapot. In fact, there weren't many things about the underworld in the past few thousand years, but she had no interest in tasting tea and had done little research on it. However, she had seen the literati in the storybooks. She took a sip and although she felt that the tea was a bit bitter, she still flattered, "This tea is good."
Jin Li's eyes turned slightly cold, and he asked, "What's good about it?"
"Although it's a bit bitter, but like all aspects of life, after suffering comes sweetness, and the taste lingers on your lips and teeth." Jiuxi said so, and took another big sip, almost choking.
Jin Li said, “This God brought you to the God Realm for your own good.
If you hadn't come to the Divine Realm to recuperate that day, you would now be nothing more than a lonely soul with a strong obsession."
Jiuxi nodded calmly, placing the teacup on the stone table. His eyes seemed to reflect the glittering light of the mountain spring. He said, "Jiuxi thanks the God for saving my life. But, God, Jiuxi is willing to make a deal with you."
