Chapter One Hundred and Twelve: Begging Chicken
In the completely dark sky, in a magnificent palace with golden and jade splendor, an old man named Qiuzi was gazing at the sky with a distant look. Suddenly, a figure appeared behind him, and the person knelt on one knee on the ground and said: "Number Five pays respects to the master of the house."
If Leng Xiangyao were here right now, he would definitely be shocked with his eyes wide open, because this self-proclaimed Number Five guy is obviously the same master who fought him.
"How's everything going?" The old man asked faintly without turning his head.
"It's all settled."
"Is it done?" The old man sneered and said: "You have a big nerve, daring to defy my orders?"
The judge. People don't dare to be unkind, it's just that they inadvertently bump into the task handed down by their ancestors. So the little people think...
The old man listened to his subordinate's anxious tone and sneered: "Want to kill him off, huh? What was the result?"
The man in black felt a murderous intent in the homeowner's tone, and immediately knelt down and begged: "Spare my life, sir! Spare my life, sir!"
The old man didn't even glance at his subordinate who was kowtowing on the ground and said softly, "Shadow."
With a "whoosh" sound, a slender figure appeared in front of the fifth man, stretched out his hand and gently pressed the fifth man's head. With a slight force, there was a "crack" sound, the fifth man's face changed color, a stream of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his body slowly slumped down.
The old man glanced at his deceased subordinate and said, "Useless trash, daring to disobey my orders. Truly unaware of life or death."
"Shadow, have there been any recent movements between the Underworld and the Realm of the Gods?"
The man called to the shadow heard his master's question and hastily replied, "Recently in the underworld, it was heard that the king of the underworld seemed to have lost out to someone, so he was furious and killed several subordinates in a row to vent his anger. The divine realm on the other side is quiet and still."
"Did the King of Hell suffer a loss?" The old man heard Shadow's words and smiled slightly, muttering to himself. Then he continued to instruct: "You go and investigate. What kind of loss did this old ghost, the King of Hell, suffer? If it wasn't someone from those two major factions... see if there's an opportunity to pull him into our camp."
"Yes, master."
"Go!" The old man waved his hand casually and continued to gaze up at the sky, as if there was some secret hidden in the gray mist.
"Yes, master of the house." The shadow's figure immediately merged into the air and disappeared in front of the old man.
In the forest of death, a white shadow darted into this dangerous area like lightning. After the white figure darted in, it seemed to be walking home, rushing around wildly, and then the scene in front changed suddenly.
"Who?" As Leng Xiang and Unicorn Web entered the Spirit Clan, a loud shout immediately rang out. Dozens of people appeared on the high grounds around them, holding bows and arrows aimed at themselves.
"Stop!" A name that seemed like a squad leader's spirit immediately stopped his companions' movements because he saw Leng Xueyao's mount.
"Is it Young Master Leng?" The small team leader asked, because they didn't recognize Leng Xiao Yao. However, each of them had been instructed by their own elders that if they saw the person riding a unicorn, they must treat him well and not be rude, which is why they were acting like this now.
"En" coldly nodded and said: "Trouble you to announce, just say that Cold Xiao Yao has come to visit."
"Wow! Leng Ge, are you back just to see Long Er? A soft voice rang out, and a small figure appeared in front of Leng Xiao Yao, the newcomer's face beaming with a joyful smile as she continued: "Leng Ge, did you bring back some delicious food?"
"Delicious food?" Leng Xiao was taken aback for a moment, only then remembering that when he left last time, he had promised the fairy princess that next time he came back, he would bring her some delicious food from the outside world to taste. How could he have forgotten this matter?
Long'er saw the expression on Leng Xiao Yao's face, and his originally smiling face immediately darkened. He stomped his little feet and said: "Bad brother, you must have forgotten again what you promised Long'er. I hate you, big liar."
"This" cold and proud person suddenly felt embarrassed, to think about it, Long Er was actually his lifesaver, this kindness could be said to be bigger than the sky, yet the person he owed a debt of gratitude to only asked him to bring some delicious food as repayment, but he couldn't even do that one basic thing, truly shameful!
The dragon's beautiful eyes swept over Leng Xiao Yao with a cold gaze. He deliberately pretended to be angry, turning his head away, but on the back of his small face, he revealed a sly smile. Leng Xiao Yao was suddenly at a loss, scanning the surroundings with his eyes, wanting to find someone to talk to about his feelings. But when his eyes scanned around, those dozens of spirits who had just come out to block him were now nowhere to be seen, strange? Did they not fear that he was a bad person?
You're not afraid of death, are you? We can't afford to die! The princess is so familiar with you, we don't dare to speak nonsense. Don't you know that there's a saying in the Spirit Clan? It's better to offend the Queen than to offend the Princess. Offending the Queen would at most result in being imprisoned, but offending the Princess means death. This shows how powerful Long'er's style is within the Spirit Clan. That's why whenever Long'er appears, all the guarding spirits disappear from his sight immediately. They don't want to suffer unnecessary disaster. The spirits watching from afar secretly thought to themselves.
"Big brother, is it done yet?" Long'er asked, staring at the roasted rabbit in Leng Xiang's hand. His mouth was watering and drooling.
Leng Xiao Yao added a bit of seasoning to the Water Arrow Bunny on the barbecue and continued to stir-fry it. At the same time, she replied: "Xiao Chou Mao, not yet cooked, just wait a bit."
Long'er nodded, his eyes fixed on the roasted Water Arrow Bunny in Leng Xian's hand, and a green light flowed out of his eyes, as if he was a wild beast that had not eaten for over ten days.
Leng Xiao Yao saw the look on Long Er's face and a smile appeared on his own, adding the final touches before flipping it over several times. Finally, he handed the roasted Water Arrow Rabbit to Long Er: "Alright, but be careful, it's very hot."
"Alright." Long'er had been waiting impatiently and, upon hearing Leng Xiangyao say "alright", hastily snatched the fragrant Water Arrow Rabbit and took a big bite. His face immediately scrunched up, he sucked in a mouthful of cold air, and his tongue began to move nonstop, apparently having been scalded.
Leng Xiao saw the scene of Long Er, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he thought of the scene three days ago when he returned to the Spirit Clan. He had just managed to come up with the barbecue from the previous space to deal with this little girl, but who knew that she would become addicted after eating it once. Now, every day, three meals a day, he has to barbecue for her to eat.
Whoosh! A figure suddenly appeared before the two of them. Leng Xiao Yao saw the newcomer and a faint smile spread across his face, while Long Er, who was busy devouring his food, hastily hid the water arrow in his hand behind him and looked at the newcomer with guarded eyes: "Old man, what brings you here?"
Zite's nose twitched and a look of surprise appeared on her face. "Huh, what smells so good?"
"This doesn't belong to you, this is the food that Leng Ge helped me prepare. You're a senior, don't come and snatch food from your junior." Long Er's sparkling eyes stared at Qier Ci Si.
Zi Tuo saw Long Er's defensive appearance and smiled wryly, "You little girl, how would I snatch food from you? Don't worry! However, don't let the Empress know that you're eating meat, or else I won't be able to protect you!"
"Ah!" The dragon, who was originally on guard, heard Zite's words and was so frightened that the water arrow rabbit hidden behind him fell to the ground, his small face terrified and uneasy.
Splash! Just as the Water Arrow Bunny was about to hit the ground, it seemed to be pulled into Zither's hands by an invisible force. Zither brought the roasted Water Arrow Bunny to her nose and took a sniff, her eyes lighting up instantly. "Mmm, smells so good!"
"Grandfather, return my food quickly." Long'er saw this scene with Qierci and hastily jumped up, wanting to snatch back the food. But with her current cultivation level, how could she possibly snatch food from Qierci's hands?
Long'er made a few attempts, but failed to retrieve the food. Finally, he looked up at Leng Xiangyang with tears in his eyes and said, "Brother Leng, look! Grandpa actually snatched my food, now I don't have anything to eat either."
Zite seems to have estimated that she wants to stimulate Long'er, and unexpectedly gnawed on the remaining half of the water arrow rabbit, exclaiming in surprise: "Not bad, smells good. En, very good."
Zi Tuo was nibbling on a water arrow rabbit, and suddenly a small bottle of wine appeared out of nowhere. She took a bite and then a sip, looking very relaxed.
Long'er saw this scene of Qī Tè Sī, his eyes rolled over. A faint smile appeared on his face, and the next moment... Long'er muttered a sentence in a low voice from his mouth.
"Huh!" Suddenly, several basketball-sized fireballs appeared above the tree branch where Zite was lying. They smashed down towards Zite, who was in a state of triumph.
"Girl, do you want Grandpa's old life?!" Qierci exclaimed strangely and waved her hand. In an instant, several water arrows directly hit the fireball, and in an instant, those few face-basin-sized fireballs turned into a misty body and disappeared into thin air.
Long'er saw Qitesi easily dissolve his fireball technique, stomped her little foot, puffed up her mouth, and glared at Qitesi on the tree trunk.
Leng Xiao Yao seemed reluctant to see Long Er get angry. So he opened his mouth and laughed: "Girl, go catch a few wind-force birds, big brother will help you come up with some new tricks."
Long'er, who was originally in a bad mood, heard this sentence from Leng Xiao Yao and his eyes lit up as he hastily asked: "Really?"
"Alright."
"Haha, okay, Cold Big Brother, you wait for Long'er. I'll be right back." After Long'er finished speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared before Leng Xiao's eyes.
After seeing Long'er leave, Zhitian's figure flashed and she immediately arrived beside Leng Xiao. Her face showed a surprised expression as she said: "Little guy, you really are something, actually dealing with that demoness so quickly."
"Little witch?" Leng Xiao's face showed a hint of a smile, "This little girl is quite obedient. Why are you all so afraid when you see her?"
Actually, Leng Xiao was still very confused about this matter in the three days he returned to the Spirit Clan. He found that the Spirit Clan, regardless of old or young, seemed to have a kind of fear towards Long Er. What's going on here?
"This you don't know, Zite said to this point, a pair of old eyes swept around. Then he continued: "Long'er's heart is very kind, but this little guy is really too mischievous, the strange and clever ideas in her brain are one after another, even I was taken advantage of by her when I was young."
Listening to Zither's account of Long'er's "glorious history" back then, he really didn't expect it. The little girl who usually looks so cute and lovely is actually so cunning and likes to play with people, but every time she's mischievous, it's never over the top. It can be seen that this little girl has a very kind heart, no wonder the fairy tribe people are both afraid of and fond of her, so that's how it was!
Zi Tuo Si seemed to be in high spirits, recounting the glorious history of Long Er's past, but unfortunately, he didn't notice that a small figure was walking towards his back.
"Little guy, I'm telling you, don't spoil that little girl, or else you'll have a day of reckoning." Zither's old face said with a pleased expression, but suddenly he felt something was off. Why did the little guy in front of him have an unusual look on his face?
It turned out that Zite's intuition was right. Zite felt his whiskers tighten. Then a severe pain spread through his body, followed by a burst of laughter: "Old man, why do you always like to speak ill of me behind my back? Tell me, how should we settle this account?"
"No, absolutely not, Long Er. If you don't believe me, ask that little guy." Qier Ci hastily denied, still trying to drag Leng Xiao Yu down with her.
Long'er's small face smiled extremely brightly, people familiar with Long'er all knew that the brighter she smiled, the more ruthless she would be in tormenting others.
Leng Xiao saw Qierci's pitiful eyes looking at him, a smile appeared on his face. He walked to Long'er's side and said something that made Qierci spit blood.
"Little girl, I'll go deal with these dishes. You just dig in, don't be polite."
"Heh heh, got it."
Long'er gave Leng Xiao a clear look, and the latter picked up several wind-force birds that Long'er had caught from the ground and walked towards a small stream, humming a tune as he went.
"Ah, although I couldn't beat you up, but the grudge from last time when you pinched me, brother has been remembering it all along. Now it's payback time! Haha!" Cold Xiao thought to himself, "Your cultivation is high and varied? One thing suppresses another, now it's payback time! Haha!"
A few minutes later, Leng Xiangyou brought the Wind Bird back to the bonfire after cleaning it up, and started fiddling with it. Qierci had an innocent look on her face, which was filled with a meaty feeling, constantly stroking the space ring in her hand, while Long'er had a joyful expression, as if he were a triumphant general returning from battle.
Long'er saw a few black things in Leng Xiao's hand and couldn't help but ask: "Leng big brother, what are you doing?"
Leng Xiao gave Long Er a mysterious smile and said: "You'll know soon enough."
"How can it be so dirty? Is it something to eat?" Long Er's face showed a look of disgust, staring at the several clumps of mud in Leng Xiao Yao's hand.
"Dirty?" Coldly smiling, "Little girl, if you think it's dirty then don't eat it later."
If people on Earth saw Leng Xiangyao's actions, they would immediately think of the name of what Leng Xiangyao wanted to do: Flower Chicken. This was a dish that Leng Xiangyao often made during his missions with Zhuo, and it was delicious and refreshing.
