Chapter 123 Home

  Yang Yu Xi walked out of Hu Qi Ma's residence, the sunlight in the oasis wasn't as scorching, he raised his head and narrowed his eyes to gaze at the sun, the dazzling light was compressed into a line that shone into his eyes, illuminating everything before him.

  "Hey!" A somewhat alert shout came from a distance.

  Yang Yu Xi blinked his eyes to readjust to the brightness, then looked over in the direction of the sound, only to see a pair of big, shiny eyes staring at him from behind an old oak tree, with one hand frantically waving hello.

  It's Dong Er, Yang Yu Xi smiled and quickly walked over, knocking on his head, laughing: "What are you doing here?"

  Dong Er glared at Yang Yu Xi, then rubbed his sore head and said gruffly: "Don't hit my head! I came here because of you, Rain Sister told me to wait for you to go back together."

  "Oh." Yang Yu Xi directly ignored Dong Er's protest, then knocked on his shiny head again. The little guy was so angry that he shouted loudly, but he couldn't do anything to Yang Yu Xi.

  Dong Er looked at Yang Yu Xi's back as he walked ahead, furiously waving his small fist, but had to quicken his pace to follow behind him.

  After walking for a while, Dong Er's gaze occasionally glanced at Yang Yu Xi, wanting to speak but stopping herself.

  "That..."

  Yang Yu Xi looked at him, but her footsteps didn't stop: "What's wrong now?"

  Dong Er's gaze swept over him and then quickly withdrew, stuttering: "Uh, uh, uh..."

  Yang Yu Xi furrowed his brow, putting on a serious face: "Speak up, don't be hesitant, a man should be straightforward!"

  As soon as he heard the three words "man", Dong Er immediately raised his head, speaking in a loud and clear voice: "What does Hu Qi Ma want with you?" His eyes stared straight ahead, his head held high and his chest out, but he didn't look at Yang Yu Xi.

  Yang Yu Xi looked at him for a moment, coughed twice, and smiled: "Heh heh, do you want to know?"

  "Mmm." Dong Er's face was filled with longing.

  Yang Yu Xi's mouth curled up with a sly smile: "Call me brother, call me brother and I'll tell you!"

  "Brother......" Dong Er gritted her teeth and shouted out these two words.

  "Mmm, so good!" Yang Yu Xi savored it to the extreme.

  "What's wrong with you! Why didn't you say so earlier!?"

  Yang Yu Xi rested her hands behind her head, a shameless expression on her face: "But I don't want to tell you now, what can be done?"

  "You! Swindler! Big swindler!" Dong Er's face turned black, and he cursed loudly, his fists waving as if to hit him, but under Yang Yu Xi's provocative gaze, he still didn't lose control.

  "Hahaha!" Yang Yu Xi's laughter was extremely arrogant and loud.

  "I hate you!"

  "Then hit me!"

  ……………………………

  One big and one small, the two people chattered and laughed all the way, and soon arrived at Dong Er's home. The simple house had wisps of smoke rising from it, and Mu Chen Yin sat on a branch of the big tree in front of the door, quietly gazing into the distance.

  "What's there to see? It's all just sand everywhere!" Yang Yu Xi muttered.

  Dong Er blinked her eyes: "Chen Yin Gege is so handsome..."

  Yang Yu Xi rolled her eyes: "Hey, you're a man, right? How can you say other men are handsome?"

  "But... Dusty Onii-chan is really good..."

  "A real man can't admit that another man is more handsome than himself!" Yang Yu Xi suddenly interrupted him.

  Winter son raised his head and puffed out his chest: "Yes! Winter son is the most handsome!"

  "Hmm, a child can be taught...” Yang Yu Xi smiled with her eyes narrowed and patted Dong Er's thin back.

  Mudan Yin noticed the two people's movements and sent over a faint glance before ignoring them again.

  At this time, the door opened and Zhou Yuxiao, wearing an apron, walked out with sweat on her nose and a spatula in her hand. Seeing Yang Yuxi and Dong'er, she immediately greeted: "You're back? Just wait a bit longer and dinner will be ready..."

  Yang Yu Xi heard that there was food and immediately remembered that he hadn't eaten for a long time, his mouth began to water instantly, he slapped his palm fiercely: "Alright, let's get ready to eat, no matter what delicacies from the mountains or seas, bring them on!"

  Zhou Yuxiao let out a gentle "heh" and smiled, the apron-clad her looked even more like a quiet and elegant neighbor sister, her smile coated everything around her with a layer of light.

  Mudan Yun glanced at her and then withdrew her gaze. Her younger sister seemed calm, but... when she went crazy, it wasn't ordinary craziness.

  "Then you wait a bit longer." Zhou Yuxiao re-entered the house.

  After Zhou Yu Xiao entered the house, Yang Yu Xi walked to the tree where Mu Chen Yin was, leaning against the trunk with a somewhat distracted gaze.

  "Hey!" Dong Er obviously belonged to the extremely active type and soon darted in front of Yang Yu Xi again.

  "What's wrong with you, kid!" Yang Yu Xi didn't even raise an eyebrow.

  Dong Er was just about to speak when Yang Yu Xi's gaze was suddenly drawn away by something, Dong Er followed his line of sight and only saw a dog, a cat, and a mouse appear on the grass in front of them.

  The three of them were still in the same pose as before, with the white cat lounging lazily on top of the black dog, and a grey mouse that was slightly larger than an ordinary mouse hanging from the black dog's tail.

  But this time, Yang Yu Xi obviously saw more details.

  What first caught his attention was the cat, which at first glance appeared to be pure white all over, but upon closer inspection revealed that its four paws were black, hidden in the black dog's fur and not easily noticeable. The white cat had a languid expression, even with a hint of nobility, its snow-white tail hanging down on the black dog's body, drooping to one side.

  There was also a grey mouse that had grabbed the black dog's tail, its head slightly larger than an ordinary mouse, with a red mark on its forehead like cinnabar mole, but not very prominent. The grey mouse bared its teeth and scowled at Yang Yu Xi, raising an eyebrow and winking.

  Yang Yu Xi was stared at by that grey mouse, his whole body covered in goosebumps, he shuddered all over, and his gaze casually glanced at the black dog.

  The black dog is actually black and white, with a pure white belly, the whole body looks like it's wearing a black cloak on its back. The face above the eyebrows is black, and the rest is snowy white. However, unlike the noble and lazy temperament of the white cat, the black dog has a listless appearance, its tail hanging weakly, its head drooping, and its limbs seeming to drag along the ground as it moves.

  "What are these?" Yang Yu Xi pointed at the three animals and asked Dong Er.

  Dong Er replied: "They are Yu Xiao Jie Jie's three pets, this is Xiao Bai, this is Xiao Hui, and this is Xiao Hei." Dong Er pointed at them one by one to introduce.

  Yang Yu Xi was silent, what kind of name is this?

  "They are actually three spiritual beasts." The sudden voice beside him startled Yang Yu Xi, and Mu Chen Yin had already come down from the tree without knowing when.

  Yang Yu Xi suddenly remembered Nan Gong Cang Jie, he also appeared in such a quiet and unannounced manner.

  And that guy Luo Xuan...

  It's been a year since we last met, and I have no idea how much more formidable these two people have become.

  "What is the spiritual beast?" Yang Yu Xi asked.

  Spiritual beasts, as the name suggests, are some beast species that understand how to use spiritual power. They are quite common. However, high-ranking spiritual beasts comparable to or above legendary realm strong ones are very rare.

  "It's not some rare and precious breed, just three very common spirit beasts. They don't have much strength, so they're easily discarded. Yu Xue has a soft heart, she picked them up by the roadside and has been raising them ever since."

  Yang Yu Xi nodded slightly and walked over to gently pet the white cat. The white cat's fur was very smooth and soft, it was clear that Zhou Yu Xiao had taken good care of it.

  The white cat opened its eyes, glanced lazily at Yang Yu Xi, let out a soft "meow", then closed its eyes again and lay back down on the black dog's back, looking extremely comfortable.

  Yang Yu Xi was slightly taken aback, thinking that her status wasn't high, where did this noble aura come from?

  But he didn't say it out loud, instead thinking this cat was quite interesting.

  "Hey, guys, dinner's ready!" The door suddenly opened and Zhou Yuxiao walked out with a smile on her face, still steaming from the kitchen. As soon as the door opened, a rich aroma of food wafted out.

  "Good!" Yang Yu Xi suddenly stood up, his voice like a thunderclap. The white cat was startled and jumped up, looking at Yang Yu Xi with dissatisfaction and let out a cry. The black dog and gray mouse also cast him a look of disdain.

  "Hey, you're despised." Dong Er mischievously poked Yang Yu Xi and then quickly ran into the house first.

  "Are you looking for death?!" Yang Yu Xi yelled as she rushed into the house, Zhou Yu Xiao hastily moved to one side to avoid being knocked over.

  Mudan Yin then walked in last.

  Only three pets were left on the lawn in front of the house. The black dog lay down slowly with its eyes closed, and the sunlight shone on them.

  ……………………………

  "Wow, what a feast!" Yang Yu Xi's saliva almost dripped onto the dinner table.

  It's not his fault, it's normal to go hungry for a meal in the desert, and if things don't go well, you might not eat for several days. Yang Yuxi had already gone hungry for several days.

  Moreover, Zhou Yuxiao's cooking is a perfect combination of color, fragrance and taste, just looking at it can greatly increase one's appetite. The resources in the desert oasis are limited, but Zhou Yuxiao managed to create an irresistible delicacy with the limited resources available.

  "Don't be polite!"

  Yang Yu Xi snatched a pair of chopsticks from Zhou Yu Xiao's hand, almost pouncing on the dinner table, and the sound of her chewing was unbridled and incessant.

  Zhou Yu Xiao shook her head somewhat helplessly, but it was clear that she was very happy, with a hint of a smile always lingering at the corner of her mouth.

  Dong Er pouted, took a bowl from Zhou Yu Xiao's hand, carefully picked some dishes from the table and put them in the bowl. There was not much meat in the desert, but the little guy still carefully picked out a lot of meat, then quickly ran to the bed with small steps.

  "Grandpa, dinner."

  The old man on the sickbed opened his eyes, and infinite kindness flowed out of his eyes. He struggled to open his mouth: "Dong Er eats first, Grandpa is not hungry."

  Dong Er shook his head and insisted that the old man eat first.

  The old man couldn't outdo him and had no choice but to let the little guy feed him.

  Zhou Yuxiao watched this scene and said in a low voice: "Dong Er is really an understanding child."

  Even Yang Yuxi, who was eating voraciously, stopped and looked on quietly.

  The fragrance of rice wafts through the air, outside the window the warm sunlight is shining brightly, green trees are swaying gently, and the sparse sunlight casts dappled shadows on two figures, one old and one young.

  Yang Yu Xi's thoughts were suddenly pulled far away, across the desert, across the Great Zhou, and landed on a small city.

  I miss home.
