Chapter 49 Hidden Danger
Zhou Chongxiao raised his head, and his eyes were red, and his face was full of murderousness, as if he were a devil. Seeing his ferocious posture, the Jiudeng Taoist couldn't help taking a breath of cold air.
But then, Zhou Chongxiao woke up, his eyes were red, his murderous spirit disappeared invisibly, and he looked at the Jiudeng Taoist breathlessly.
"This is the end for today." Jiudeng Taoist's thoughts were still confused by Zhou Chongxiao's inexplicable posture. He simply explained that he turned around and left.
Although he is confused about the sudden change of attitude of Jiudeng Taoist, Zhou Chongxiao will never give up this opportunity to rest in advance. He immediately took a good shower, drank some tonic soup, and then ran out refreshedly to find Xuanyuanbi.
In the Xiyuan, Xuanyuanbi and Shuilian are sitting on the railing, reflecting the rippling open channel and flowing water, Yan Yanyan.
"Brother Lian, why do you like this white jade cake so much?" Seeing that Shuilian was holding the white jade cake and eating it deliciously, Xuanyuanbi was curious.
Shui Lian swallowed the cake in her mouth with an intoxicated face, pinched a piece from the plate, handed it to Xuanyuan Bi's mouth, and said, "Sister Bi, don't you know if you taste it yourself?"
"However, the master ordered me to open the valley and not allow me to eat these vulgar things, saying that it would affect my practice." Xuanyuan Bi's face was struggling. Although he really wanted to have a try, the master was strict and did not dare to take a step.
"Sister Bi, what stage has your cultivation reached?" Shui Lian frowned. This way of practicing Yunyuan is too strange, isn't it?
"I have reached the late stage of Ningdan." Xuanyuanbi said calmly.
However, Shui Lian was shocked when he heard the words and almost fell into the open channel behind him. He looked at it from head to toe, and he didn't believe that Xuanyuanbi's cultivation could reach the late stage of Ningdan.
You should know that as soon as the Ningdan period breaks through, it will be the Yuanying period. For all the practitioners in the world, the Yuanying period is already a master among the masters. It is more difficult for him to believe that Xuanyuanbi, a silly-looking little peach demon, is only one step away from such a master than to convince him that he will immediately restore the real body of the dragon clan.
Then, Xuanyuanbi added, "But Master has told me that if anyone asks, I'm still in the foundation period."
"Why?" The water is puzzled. The higher the cultivation, the better, isn't it? Why do you have to belittle your cultivation?
Xuanyuanbi smiled mischievously: "Master said that my cultivation looks more like the foundation-building period."
What kind of master is this! Shui Lian couldn't say a word.
Xuanyuanbi's master is really called Shuilian's accident. However, his description is so right. Xuanyuanbi's cultivation looks like a foundation period. In this way, it will not be suspicious.
At the same time, if Shui Lian hadn't been clear about Xuanyuan Bi's naive personality, she would have thought that what she had said before that what she was in the Ningdan period was a lie, and the foundation-building period was the truth.
"Although the cultivation has reached this stage, there is no need to satisfy the appetite, but eating a little will not have any impact on cultivation, will it?" Shui Lian turned her hand and stuffed the white jade cake into her mouth. As she bit it, she said, "Look at me, although I'm also a repairer, I don't eat everything yet. There's nothing wrong at all. There are many delicious things in this world, which are worth tasting slowly.
Xuanyuanbi stared at the white jade cake all the time.
The white pastry is about two fingers wide and three fingers long, and there is also a beautiful lotus image printed on it. The petals are full, the stamens are clear, exuding a sweet glutinous rice flavor, and a trace of special smell, which makes ordinary people salivate.
Shui Lian broke a small piece and put it in the palm of Xuanyuan's hand: "It's just such a small piece, Sister Bi, just try it!" It will be all right."
Unable to resist the rise of curiosity, Xuanyuanbi finally put this small piece of white jade cake into the import.
The feeling of melt in the mouth is very wonderful, and then the sweet fragrance emanates throughout the mouth, which is an unprecedented experience.
Close your eyes and enjoy this special feeling, Xuanyuanbi is full of joy.
It turns out that there are such delicacies in the world, which are more unforgettable than the spiritual fruits treasured by Master.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that Shui Lian was smiling happily, and Xuanyuan's face turned red.
"Would you like another piece?" Shui Lian handed the plate to Xuanyuanbi with understanding.
After carefully checking his whole body, he made sure that there was indeed no unexpected change in his body. Xuanyuanbi believed Shuilian's words and knew that eating something would not affect his practice, so he happily pinched a piece of cake.
She bit little, like a stolen kitten.
Shui Lian looked at her eating with satisfaction and suddenly felt that even the white jade cake was not more attractive than the people in front of her. As long as he looks at Xuanyuanbi's satisfied appearance, he has nothing else to ask for.
Zhou Chongxiao found Xiyuan and saw the two people from afar.
He wanted to surprise Xuanyuanbi, so he slowly approached the past. At this time, he saw Shui Lian affectionately feeding Xuanyuanbi with white jade cake, and Xuanyuanbi was also extremely cooperative.
"Isn't Bier unable to eat this kind of thing? Why?" Zhou Chongxiao frowned and stopped moving forward.
"Look at you, you eat all over your face." Shui Lian naturally reached out and gently wiped off the pastry crumbs stained on her lips for Xuanyuanbi.
Xuanyuanbi opened a happy smile and let Shuilian's fingers linger on his lips.
"Sister Bi..." I know that the people in front of me are innocent, and I know that the people in front of me simply trust me, but there is still a glimmer of hope in Shuilian's heart, "Sister, would you like to be with Shuilian forever?"
"Hmm?" Xuanyuanbi was still immersed in the deliciousness of the white jade cake and did not respond at once.
Just as Shui Lian was about to open his mouth again, Zhou Chongxiao had already walked to the two of them.
"Bier, can't you eat?" Intercepting Shui Lian's words before he could say, Zhou Chongxiao sat down on the other side of Xuanyuanbi.
Xuanyuanbi will tell the truth and deliberately make it clear that he has no abnormality at present, and there should be no problem.
Zhou Chongxiao reminded her to be careful, and then suddenly remembered something and said, "Since you can eat, you can have dinner with us." Every time I eat, I leave you alone outside. How can I, the host, be sorry?
Shui Lian also followed Zhou Chongxiao's meaning and said, "Sister Bi, let's have dinner together!"
In Zhou's house, Shui Lian plays the role of Zhou Lian, while Zhou Chongxiao and Li Hanyu, as juniors, have to accompany Mrs. Zhou for dinner, so every time at dinner, Xuanyuanbi will be left alone and simply drink the mountain spring water or wild fruit she carries.
She is a person who likes to be lively, and now she has agreed.
At the dinner table, Zhou Chongxiao regretted how he made a "stupid" move to invite Xuanyuanbi.
At the table of the Eight Immortals, Mrs. Zhou sat in the main seat, with Shui Lian and Zhou Chongxiao on the left and right sides, while Zhou Chongxiao sat next to her cousin Li Hanyu, and Xuanyuanbi sat next to Shuilian.
Originally, according to the generation, Xuanyuanbi should have exchanged positions with Shuilian, but for the sake of Shuilian being the master and Xuanyuanbi being a guest, Xuanyuanbi sat under Shuilian.
Although Mrs. Zhou was a little concerned about the sudden appearance of Xuanyuanbi, looking at the way Shui Lian cared about her, she swallowed all kinds of words. They have declared that they are the senior sister of the division. They can't ignore the face of the younger brother and sweep people out of the house.
"Rian'er, Chongxiao, today's dishes are all cooked by Han Yu himself." Mrs. Zhou looked at Li Hanyu, smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth, and then turned to Zhou Chongxiao, "Chou, Han Yu specially pinched the time for you, so that you can eat hot food as soon as it is served. You can't let others down with this intention.
Zhou Chongxiao took a look at Li Hanyu and understood how she suddenly ran to ask herself when she would finish her practice.
"Of course, my son won't waste such a delicious meal." Zhou Chongxiao bent the corners of his mouth and said, "Besides, today is the first time that Miss Xuanyuan is at the same table with us. This dish is just the best welcome banquet. Ah! Although it's simpler, please don't blame Miss Xuanyuan.
Seeing that Zhou Chongxiao suddenly brought the topic to her, Xuanyuanbi looked at the people with different looks inexplicably, and then waved her hand urgently and said, "This meal is already very good. Sister Yu is really awesome.
Shui Lian took over and said, "Sister Bi, in terms of generation, you are a generation older than them. How can you call your cousin sister?"
"Ah, what should I call her?" Being reminded by Shuilian, Xuanyuanbi was stunned. She has been calling for a long time. Why did she suddenly say that she wanted to change it?
"Aunt Xuanyuan can just call me Han Yu directly." Li Hanyu smiled in order to win a better impression in Mrs. Zhou's eyes.
"Oh." Xuanyuanbi could only stay and respond.
The farce came to an end, and Mrs. Zhou raised her chopsticks to symbolize the beginning of dinner.
"Come on, try these." Shuilian selected relatively light steamed fish, fried mountain treasures, etc. from various dishes, and gave them to Xuanyuanbi one by one.
Shui Lian was absorbed in picking up the dishes. Xuanyuanbi ate happily and didn't notice that the faces of the other three people on the table were slowly getting worse and worse.
After this meal, Xuan Yuanbi touched her round belly and left with Shui Lian contentedly.
Although Mrs. Zhou was unhappy, she did not show it after all. Besides, she also knows that it's better to let Xuanyuanbi and Shuilian be together than with her own son. Although she was puzzled that her favorite younger brother might fall in love with the monster.
As for Li Hanyu, there is only infinite resentment in his heart. Not to mention that a table of food she had worked hard to prepare went into Xuanyuanbi's stomach, Zhou Chongxiao had been staring at Xuanyuanbi without looking at herself during the whole dinner, and she was indignant.
Zhou Chongxiao, who returned to his room with a lot of anger, was too late to sit down when there was a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw that there was a Jiudeng Taoist standing outside the door. He hurriedly invited him into the room.
"It's so late, does the Taoist priest have something to explain?" Seeing that he was a Jiudeng Taoist, Zhou Chongxiao intuitively felt that he should have come to arrange the task of the evening.
"Chevy Xiao, there is one thing. I need to confirm it with you." Jiudeng Taoist stood in the room, which seemed a little difficult to say, "Have you felt something strange about your body recently?"
"Why did the Taoist priest suddenly ask this? Chongxiao himself did not notice any abnormality. Could it be that the Taoist priest found something? Zhou Chongxiao asked.
Jiudeng Taoist did not hide it and said bluntly, "Poverty Tao suspects that the little dragon you subdued in the gossip jade card may not have been completely subdued, and its tyrannical dragon spirit has affected you through the jade card. If you can't find a way to crack it in time, I'm afraid..."
