Xie Lian, who originally planned to show off his skills,
On this night,
His confidence experienced twists and turns.
Hua Cheng had suggested that it would be better to let him cook, but how could Xie Lian have the nerve to let him fix his door, help him clean his house, and then help him cook? How could he ask a guest to do this? Moreover, what did he take the dignified Desperate Ghost King for?
Fortunately, he brought back a lot of stock from town,
Although most of it went into Xie Lian's pot last night,
There were still some steamed buns, pancakes, vegetables, and fruits left,
He could just make do with it and eat it. But after he finished eating, what should he do?
On the second day,
This problem was solved by itself. Early in the morning,
The door of Pu Qi Monastery was knocked open by a group of village girls, bringing in a few large pots of porridge and a cooked chicken. All the village girls were shy and timid.
Who did they come for?
It was obvious. Xie Lian couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Looking good could really make a living.
The roasted chicken was divided among the two children.
Xie Lian only drank a little porridge. Hua Cheng didn't touch anything.
He said, "Brother is really popular here."
Xie Lian laughed, "Don't make fun of me, San Lang. Everyone clearly has an ulterior motive. "
After that bowl, Qi Rong struggled outside the monastery for an entire night.
He wailed incessantly,
'I'd rather be caught by Lang Qianqiu and be hacked into pieces than be poisoned by you here!' 'Cousin Crown Prince, I was wrong,
I beg you to give me the antidote! ' Moreover, he seemed to see many illusions. Gu Zi was simply frightened. Early in the morning, Qi Rong was dispirited and listless. His face was already green. Now, he lowered his head and gulped down the porridge in Gu Zi's hands. Finally, he caught his breath and said in a hoarse voice, "Bullshit! What popular? Who's coming for him? With his shabby appearance! Also, Dog Hua Cheng, don't be too proud. You can only attract these village girls from the countryside. Isn't it because you're dressed so rich that they eagerly stick to you?! If you were dressed like a beggar, I don't believe they would still look at you! "
Xie Lian thought, these words weren't right. Even if Hua Cheng dressed like a beggar, Xie Lian believed that he could ask for a mountain of gold just by begging. But he didn't say anything and just slowly busied himself. After a while, a smell drifted out, and Qi Rong cried out again, "What are you doing now? What is this?! "
Xie Lian warmly said, "That pot of 'Hundred Years Good Broth'. I'm heating it up. "
Hearing this, Hua Cheng immediately clapped his hands and said, "Good name, good name."
Qi Rong said, "You f * cking gave this thing a name?! Stop!!! "
Qi Rong didn't really need to feed it to Qi Rong. Just by heating it up a little, Qi Rong's horrifying memories would be evoked. He didn't dare to speak again. After finishing this meal, Lang Ying silently put away the bowls and chopsticks, as if she wanted to take them to wash. Xie Lian said, "No need. You can go play on the side. I'll do it."
He might not be able to cook, but he could still wash the dishes. Hua Cheng watched as Lang Ying brought Gu Zi out to play and said, "Let me do it."
Xie Lian declined, "You don't need to, just sit."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard Qi Rong, who had eaten and drunk his fill and had nothing to do, whistle twice. His voice was full of oil and gas as he said, "Yo, little girl, what are you staring at this uncle for? Are you having a crush on me? "
This ghost had just said that he didn't like this rural village girl, but now he was flirting with her, and in such a cliché way. Xie Lian shook his head, thinking to himself that he should just drag him inside so that he wouldn't scare people outside. Unexpectedly, before he could open the door, the villagers outside exclaimed, "What a peerless beauty!"
"Why would such a beautiful girl come to our village … …"
"I've never seen such a beautiful girl in my life, and there's even two of them at once!"
Immediately after, a series of knocking sounds came from outside the door. It was actually knocking on the door of Pu Qi Monastery. Xie Lian was puzzled, "Peerless beauty? There are two more? Why would two peerless beauties come knocking on my door? Ah, could it be that the rich businessman brought his new wife here to fulfill his vow? " Thinking of this possibility, he hurriedly took out the "Monastery's Dilapidated House Seeking Donations" sign and prepared to put it out. At this moment, he heard a girl say coldly, "What is that thing at the door? It's so irritating."
Immediately after, another girl said in a puzzled voice, "Could it be that it's raised to guard the door? It can't be. There's no need to pick such a low-grade spiritual beast, right? "
Although these two voices were female, Xie Lian had heard of them before. Wind Master Qing Xuan and Earth Master Yi!
He originally wanted to push the door open and go out, but he suddenly turned back and saw Hua Cheng, who was slowly cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks by the altar. He stopped what he was doing and cautiously looked out through the crack of the door.
He saw two tall and slender girls standing outside the door. One was a white-clothed female with red lips and white teeth. Her figure was elegant and graceful. She swung her horsetail whisk and her eyes shone brightly. The other was a girl in black. Her skin was snow-white, her brows beautiful and sharp, but her complexion was extremely pale. She stood with her hands behind her back and looked elsewhere. The white-clothed female was full of smiles, cupping her hands in greeting and said, "Haha, thank you everyone, thank you everyone. No need to praise, don't be too high profile. I'm very troubled by you guys acting like this. That's enough, thank you. Haha. "
Xie Lian, "…"
A large group of villagers surrounded him to look at the beauties. After looking at the beauties, they began to point at Qi Rong. Qi Rong was unhappy and shouted, "What are you looking at! I like lying on the ground! Get lost! What's there to look at! "The villagers saw that this person's actions were strange and his face was fierce and green. They were so scared that they scattered. Shi Qingxuan said to Qi Rong, "This … green young master, may I ask if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the temple now?"
Hearing this person call Xie Lian "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince", Qi Rong instantly lost interest in the two beauties in front of him and spat, "Pfft! So it's a dog official from the Heavenly Court! I'm not a dog that guards the door for him. Listen carefully, I am … "Before he finished speaking, he saw Ming Yi walk over with his head down. Then, there was a scream and a series of bangs. From Xie Lian's position, he couldn't see what Ming Yi was doing. He could only see Shi Qingxuan flinging his horsetail whisk and saying, "Brother Ming, this kind of violence isn't too good!"
Ming Yi said indifferently, "What's there to be afraid of? He already said that it's not a domesticated spiritual beast. "
"…"
In order to prevent Qi Rong from being beaten to death, Xie Lian could only open the door and raise his hand to stop him, "Sir! Show mercy! You can't hit him, he's a human! "
Seeing Xie Lian open the door, Ming Yi lifted the hem of his black clothes and moved his boots away from Qi Rong's back. Shi Qingxuan came up and cupped his hands, "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I came a few days earlier. What's wrong with this person? He can't even hide his ghostly aura, does he think we're blind? Sigh, let's go in first. This time, I have something important to ask for your help … "As he spoke, he was about to walk around Qi Rong who was on the ground and enter the door. Hua Cheng was still in the house. How could Xie Lian dare to let them in just like that? He hurriedly said, "Wait!"
However, it was already too late. Pu Qi Temple was only the size of a palm, there was no place to hide at all. The two of them immediately saw Desperate Ghost King who was standing behind Xie Lian and washing the dishes. Eight eyes met, and Hua Cheng grinned, revealing a little white teeth. His smile was awe-inspiring, but there was no smile in his eyes.
In an instant, Ming Yi's pupils suddenly shrank and she retreated three feet. Shi Qingxuan threw out the Wind Master Fan and took a stance, extremely vigilant, "Blood Rain Probing Flower!"
Outside the door, Qi Rong, whose face was covered in dirt, was furious, "I'm still Green Lantern Night Tour! How come you guys can't recognize me after beating me up for a long time? You can tell it's him just by looking at him?! "
Ming Yi had once infiltrated the Ghost City and worked undercover under Hua Cheng for several years. Not long ago, he was caught by Hua Cheng and locked in the maze dungeon to be beaten up. Now that he had met his enemy, his eyes were exceptionally red. The small Pu Qi Temple was filled with the smell of poison both inside and outside. Hua Cheng threw away the rag in his hand and narrowed his eyes, "Master Geomaster is still quite lively."
Ming Yi also said coldly, "His Excellency Ghost King is also as idle as before."
After putting on an act and greeting him, Hua Cheng's tone and expression turned cold.
He warned, "Leave. I don't care what important matter you guys have, don't come near here again. "
Although he was very afraid of Hua Cheng, his imposing manner was actually not willing to back down. Ming Yi replied in a deep voice, "Coming here was not my original intention!"
Seeing that the smell of poison was about to become the smell of gunpowder, Xie Lian said at the side, "This, this, Master Wind, what should we do?"
Shi Qingxuan tapped his forehead with his fan and said, "I also didn't expect the Blood Rain Probing Flower to be coincidentally here with you! Didn't you guys just meet not long ago? How did you guys get together again so quickly? No matter what, it's best not to use force if possible. Violence is not good. If a fight breaks out, let's stop it. "
Xie Lian said, "I generally agree." Qi Rong was looking forward to these two groups of people fighting, so he had been listening attentively. At this moment, he suddenly said, "Oh — so you're that bitch Master Wind???"
Xie Lian and Shi Qingxuan both turned to look at him. Qi Rong scolded Shi Qingxuan like this in his own cave, and he actually dared to scold him like this in front of him. It was unknown whether he was courageous or lacking in wisdom. Shi Qingxuan had always lived like a prince. It was probably the first time he heard someone scold him like this. He blinked his eyes and said to Xie Lian with an inexplicable expression, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, please wait a moment."
After saying that, he went out of the monastery and closed the door. Only to hear Qi Rong scream again outside the door, followed by a series of bangs. In a flash, Shi Qingxuan opened the door and came in. He had already changed into a man's appearance and said, "Alright. Where were we just now? I'm also hungry. I think it's better for everyone to sit down and eat something first. If there's anything, we can discuss it. There's nothing that can't be solved at the dining table. "
"… …"
Although Xie Lian didn't want them to fight in Pu Qi Monastery, Hua Cheng seemed to be extremely angry about the matter of Ming Yi being a spy. He didn't know what the inside story was. It seemed unlikely for them to sit down and eat peacefully. However, Hua Cheng actually didn't express any objections. After confronting each other for a while, the coldness on his face gradually dissipated and he continued to wash the dishes. After washing the dishes, he walked to the pot and scooped a bowl of century-old soup.
Seeing him take the initiative to withdraw his troops and stop the battle in time, the few of them all breathed a sigh of relief. The next step was to immediately change the topic and liven up the atmosphere. Thus, Shi Qingxuan said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, what's in that pot? It seems to be still hot. "
Xie Lian said, "Oh, that's what I made."
That pot had been cooked for so long, and the smell had already dissipated a lot. Although the color was unimaginable, the shape had been cooked until it disappeared. It looked much, much better than last night. When Shi Qingxuan heard this, he became excited, "Is that so? I've never eaten something personally made by a Heavenly Official! Come come come, let us try it. "
As he said that, he also took two sets of bowls and chopsticks and scooped two bowls. To tell the truth, Xie Lian originally wanted to stop him. However, because of Hua Cheng's repeated affirmation, it had planted a seed of confidence in him. In addition, when he reheated the soup this morning, he had mixed it according to Hua Cheng's suggestion last night. Thus, he had the thought of 'maybe I saved it'. After hesitating for a moment, he still didn't say anything. He secretly looked at Shi Qingxuan with anticipation as he handed one of the bowls to Ming Yi and said, "Come, Brother Ming, your share."
Ming Yi glanced at the bowl and reluctantly moved his face away.
This was a bit rude. Shi Qingxuan was furious. He handed it over again and said unwillingly, "Come eat! Didn't you say you were hungry on the way here? "
Hua Cheng leisurely scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and sent it to his mouth. After swallowing it, he smiled at Xie Lian and said, "It's indeed a bit light today, but the taste is just right."
Xie Lian also smiled and said, "Is that so? I added more water today. "
Hua Cheng took another bite and said with a smile, "Brother is considerate."
