Chapter 370: The protagonist misses his roast chicken
Under the night, light snow was falling. On the streets of Yulu Town, tourists came and went with oil fans in hand.
A dusty silver-haired woman was sitting alone in a street tea stall, fighting with a steaming roast chicken.
The chicken leg entered the mouth, bites pull, shuddered, and then burped, “Hiccup~~~”
It was like locusts passing over the plate, leaving only a complete chicken skeleton.
When the owner of the tea stall saw this scene, he suddenly understood the principle that “A person cannot be judged by his appearance”.
This silver-haired girl had bright eyes and white teeth and was full of spirit. Unexpectedly, she ate like a pig that had been starved for three days, ruining her crane-white hair and stunning face.
But the boss only dared to comment in his heart. After looking at it for a while, he looked away and continued to make tea.
Feng Yudie circled her lips with her clever tongue, looked left and right, and then waved, calling the tea stall owner over, “Store, is there a girl named Xi Yue in Yulu Town?”
When the tea stall owner heard this, he paused slightly,
“Um… Probably not.”
“Forget it.”
Feng Yudie curled her lips in disappointment and didn’t ask any more questions. She asked the boss to pack another roast chicken for her. Then she poured a cup of tea, held it in her hand, and looked at the people walking on the street in boredom.
While she was waiting for the boss to pack up the roasted chicken, suddenly a golden light streaked across the sky and flew straight toward her.
Seeing this figure, Feng Yudie’s eyes suddenly lit up.
——News from Young Master Ye!
Xiao Tian came here once before and told her that Ye Anping had completed a core formation stage. He also heard that they had come to the Northern Domain, so he chased them and then went to deliver the message again.
Feng Yudie’s eyes were filled with anticipation. The roast chicken sold on the street seemed to have missing seasonings. She had eaten hundreds of roast chickens in the Northern Domain, but none of them were as delicious as the ones Ye Anping sent.
Xiao Tian turned around in the sky and caught a glimpse of Feng Yudie sitting in the tea stall. He quickly floated down, put his small bundle on the table, spread his feet, and sat down, “Hey! I’m worn out…”
Feng Yudie blinked her eyes, looked around, and asked in a low voice, “Where’s Young Master Ye’s roast chicken?”
“…” Xiao Tian was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered it after she mentioned it.
Since Ye Anping and Feng Yu bowed together, its strength had increased a lot, and it could lift some small things, and it could also be used as a portable storage bag. Therefore, after sending a letter to Feng Yudie, Feng Yudie asked him to reply and bring him a roast chicken cooked by Ye Anping.
But the journey was quite long, and it was so tired that it forgot about it.
“Yudie, what’s that…” Xiao Tian suddenly looked embarrassed, knocked on his head, stuck out his tongue, and smiled, “I forgot, hehe~”
“…” The smile on Feng Yudie’s face fell instantly, and she raised her hand to pinch its face, “I’ve been waiting for this for so long!!”
“Oh…” Xiao Tian quickly shook his head and said comfortingly, “It’s very close. When you see Anping, you can ask him for it yourself. Anping has prepared a lot of roast chicken for you, just waiting for you to eat.”
“Really!”
“……Um! “Xiao Tian nodded, “I have new news from Anping that I can bring to you. Let you be careful of the demon cultivators on the road. The Demon Sect of the Eastern Domain has sent many people to sneak into the Northern Domain.”
“It’s a demon cultivator again. Why do I always encounter demon cultivators wherever I go…”
Xiao Tian shrugged slightly and said, “Then he asked me to tell Pei girl that Xi Yue was near Tianfeng Fairy City and that he had already passed by first. He asked you to hurry up and meet him.”
“Tianfeng Immortal City!”
“From your place, it’s about a hundred miles south.”
“It’s only over a hundred miles away! Then hurry up today… I’ll tell Junior Sister Pei.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Yudie stood up immediately, ran out of the tea stall, and walked towards the inn in the town.
As long as she said that she found out Xi Yue’s location, Junior Sister Pei would reward her!
“Hey hey hey…”
——”Hey, fairy…you ordered another roast chicken.”
When the tea stall owner saw this, he quickly chased him out, waving and shouting.
However, Feng Yudie turned around and smiled, said no more, threw a few spiritual stones, and ran away without looking back, leaving the shopkeeper confused.
However, it was time to turn back and throw the spirit stone.
Plop——
“Oops!”
As she didn’t look ahead, Feng Yudie knocked down a child with one shoulder and sat on the snowy ground.
Feng Yudie was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw that the girl she bumped into was a teenage girl who was only at the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining. She quickly stepped forward to help her up and removed the snow on her robe. She dusted herself off and apologized with a smile, “Sorry, are you okay?”
“Well, it’s okay.”
The little girl nodded weakly and was still in a trance when looking at Feng Yudie’s face as if she were curious about her silver hair.
Before she could say the next sentence, a calloused hand suddenly stretched out from beside her and pulled her away from Feng Yudie.
Feng Yudie turned around and saw a female cultivator who looked like she was in her thirties and was a Qi Refining cultivator. She quickly raised her hands and said, “You are her mother. Just now you accidentally…”
“…”
However, before Feng Yudie could finish speaking, the female cultivator turned around and led the little girl, continuing to walk along the road towards the outside of the town.
Feng Yudie was stunned for a long time. For a moment, she felt that the person was so indifferent and didn’t even say a word to her. After all, she was also a cultivator at the core formation stage…
She watched the two of them walk away, and the little girl looked back at her, waved to her, and then looked up at her mother, “Mom, where are we going?”
“Go eat something delicious, don’t ask.”
“But we have to leave the town. Mom, didn’t you say it’s dangerous outside the town at night?”
“Go eat something delicious, don’t ask.”
…
Because of the noise on the street, the little girl said something to her mother, but by the fifth sentence, the two of them had gone far away, and Feng Yudie could not hear clearly. She curled her lips. Although she thought those two people were quite strange, she didn’t think much about it and turned around and continued walking towards the inn.
However, after taking a few steps…
“Oops! No! Follow up and take a look!”
Feng Yudie seemed a little annoyed, stamped her feet, turned 180 degrees, and quickly chased after her.
Xiao Tian floated beside her head, shook his head helplessly, and said, “Yu Die, you like to be nosy.”
“I always think that person is weird… It doesn’t look like much.”
Feng Yudie pursed her lips slightly, raised her sword finger with her hand, and used magic to hide her aura, keeping a distance of about ten feet, and followed behind the mother and daughter.
It turned out that her feelings were correct. After following the mother and daughter for about a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the barricade set up by the gate at the edge of the town.
Because there were too many monsters in the mountains and forests of the Northern Domain, there were some restrictions on the edge of every village or town to prevent monsters from entering.
However, Feng Yudie watched helplessly as the two of them walked out of the restricted area under the night, braved the wind and snow, and walked from a path into a bamboo forest outside the town.
“Where are they going…” Feng Yudie twisted her eyebrows slightly, thinking about whether to call Junior Sister Pei and the others to come with them, but seeing that the two figures had disappeared into the woods, it was probably too late to call Junior Sister Pei.
“Be careful, Xiao Tian, is there anything strange in the bamboo forest?”
“I can’t see it. The cold weather in the Northern Domain is too strong for spiritual consciousness to penetrate, but there is a problem no matter how you look at it. Young Master Ye said that there are many demon cultivators in the Northern Domain, and you might just run into them. Don’t be brave. If you run into someone powerful, just run away…”
“Um…”
…
Under the night, the winding paths of the pine forest lead to tranquility. With the fine snow falling from the branches and leaves, the smoke of Yulu Town’s fireworks was getting weaker and weaker.
The little girl who was being led by her mother finally felt that something was wrong.
“Mom! Where are we going?”
“Go eat something delicious, don’t ask.”
“…”
Ever since she left home, her mother had only said this sentence.
Seeing that she had been taken deep into the forest by her mother. She pursed her lips, then took her mother’s hand and pulled it back, “Mom! I’m not going to eat. Can we go home?”
“Go eat something delicious, don’t ask.”
“Mother…” The little girl’s face gradually turned pale. She couldn’t help it anymore and wanted to let go of her mother’s hand.
However, she found that her mother’s gentle big hand was like a pair of pliers, tightly clamping her little hand.
At this time, a man’s voice suddenly came from the front, “Certainly.”
After saying one word, the little girl’s mother stopped instantly. The little girl was frightened and turned around to look, and saw a tall man wearing a hood with no face, walking towards her.
The back of his hand exposed by his long sleeves had a tattoo of a scorpion, and in the palm of his hand, there was an insect that looked like a centipede.
“Who are you?”
The little girl opened her mouth wide in horror, having just asked this question. Suddenly, the centipede in the man’s hand jumped up from his palm and flew towards the little girl’s face.
She immediately opened her eyes wide and subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away, but found that her mother was holding her hand tightly, and she couldn’t escape at all.
But…
Swish——
A white shadow jumped from the tree behind her and split the centipede flying in mid-air into two pieces with the spiritual sword in its hand.
Feng Yudie originally wanted to wait for a while, but looking at the situation, she couldn’t wait any longer. After cutting off the insect, she didn’t hesitate and leaned forward and walked directly in front of the hooded man.
A golden light flashed on the emerald spirit sword in his right hand, breaking the wind and slashing towards the collar of the hooded man.
A golden thread passed directly against the collar of the hooded man, but Feng Yudie didn’t feel like it had hit the flesh. Instead, it felt as if it had hit a ball of rags, lightly.
Feng Yudie was a little surprised. When she was above, she had asked Xiao Tian to come down and take a look. Xiao Tian said he was just a foundation-building cultivator wearing a mask.
Feng Yudie was very confident. If she was a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, it would be impossible for her to notice her peeking, and it would be impossible for her to react so quickly to dodge her sword.
Whoosh——
The hood was split in two down the center. However, there was not the slightest splash of blood. The entire cloak and hood seemed to have lost their support and fell lightly to the ground.
Feng Yudie did not stop and quickly retreated in front of the mother and daughter. She hung the spirit sword in her right hand, protected the two of them behind her, alerted her surroundings, and asked in a low voice, “Xiao Tian…”
Xiao Tian’s golden eyes glanced around and shook his head slightly,
“Yudie, there is no aura of cultivators around… The man just disappeared suddenly after you struck him with your sword. It doesn’t look like a human being, it might be a ghost puppet or something.”
Plop!
When Xiao Tian stopped speaking, the mother of the girl just now seemed to have lost her soul and fell to the ground as soon as her legs bent.
“Why?”
Feng Yudie was startled. She looked at the woman lying next to her, then at the little girl who was looking at her blankly, and frowned deeply.
…
In Yulu Town, in a room on the second floor of an inn. A dim oil lamp was placed on the table. Pei Lianxue and Xiao Yunluo were frowning deeply at the moment, gathered around the table, and looked closely at the map of the Northern Domain placed on it.
“Yunluo… Didn’t you find it?”
“No, I asked door to door. I don’t know if I’ve met the Second Idiot over there…”
“Woo…”
Pei Lianxue was a little dissatisfied. They had searched more than thirty towns, four immortal cities, and fifty-seven villages, but there was still no news about Xi Yue.
“Alas… Lianxue, didn’t Ye Anping tell you some details? We only know the name Xi Yue, but we don’t know if it is the real name. The Northern Domain is so vast and sparsely populated, how can we find it…”
“Just say she’s called Xi Yue. Senior brother said she’s in Han Tian Kingdom…”
Pei Lianxue curled her lips and let out a sigh of relief. Calculating the time, her senior brother had probably already left seclusion.
If they didn’t go back, the senior brother would become suspicious. If the senior brother knew that she came to the Northern Domain to find Xi Yue, he would be angry…
When Pei Lianxue was at a loss for what to do, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the house.
Tap tap tap——
Then with a bang, the door was pushed open, causing Pei Lianxue and Xiao Yunluo to look at the door with disgust.
“Junior Sister Pei! Come and take a look!”
Feng Yudie rushed into the house carrying the mother and daughter she met just now, causing the two people in the house to look confused.
Xiao Yunluo twisted her eyebrows, “You idiot, what are you doing here? How…”
“Something strange happened. Look at these two people… they seem to have been poisoned.”
“Poisonous insect!”
When Pei Lianxue heard this word, she immediately frowned and asked Feng Yudie to put the two fainted people on the bed in the room. She quickly walked over and took their pulses respectively.
“Well, the older one was infected by the heart-eating poison… The younger one was just frightened and fainted.”
“Is there any way?”
Pei Lianxue nodded, helped the woman up, mobilized her spiritual power to cover her palms, and pushed her behind hard.
With a bang, the woman in the Qi refining stage spurted a mouthful of black blood and a centipede came out.
Hiss——
After the centipede saw the light, it jumped alive in the black blood.
“Oops!!”
“Hey! Yunluo… Wait!”
Before Pei Lianxue could stop her, Xiao Yunluo raised her foot and trampled it into pieces.
“Ah!”
“…”
Pei Lianxue pursed her lips slightly, looked at Xiao Yunluo, slowly exhaled, and said,
“When we were in Wuxi Town, my senior brother and I were also poisoned by this poison… Senior brother taught me that I can let myself be poisoned by the poison, and then use my spiritual sense to trace the poisonous insect to know the location of the poisonous owner.”
However, she thought for a while and suddenly turned her head to look at Feng Yudie.
“Um!”
Then, without saying anything, she took out a spiritual sword from her storage bag and stabbed it toward Feng Yudie’s belt.
Feng Yudie didn’t react. She just heard a swish sound and her belt was cut open by Pei Lianxue’s spiritual sword and fell to the ground.
And what fell from her waist, besides the belt, was a plump-looking white flesh insect.
“When?”
“Senior brother said that as long as you come into contact with a demon cultivator or a person who has been infected by the insects, you will be poisoned. You idiot, this insect has been hiding in your belt just now. It must be looking for an opportunity.”
“…”
Feng Yudie was stunned for a moment, glanced slightly at Xiao Tian flying beside her, squinted her eyes, and said with her eyes, Xiao Tian! You useless thing, why didn’t you see that…
Xiao Tian was a little helpless for a moment. His spiritual consciousness could detect spiritual energy, but ordinary creatures without spiritual energy could not be seen.
“Yudie, it’s not my fault… Before the insect starts to cast the poison, the spiritual consciousness cannot detect it… And I don’t know what kind of insect it is…”
Xiao Yunluo’s face turned pale. When she saw the white bug falling on the ground, she quickly took a few steps away.
However, Pei Lianxue squatted down, twisted the white worm directly with her hands, walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, put the worm into the teacup, and washed it.
When the two people in the room were wondering what she was going to do, they saw her throwing the washed bugs into her mouth.
“Bah, bah, bah…gudu——”
Pei Lianxue tasted it, frowned, and said seriously, “Well, my senior brother took me to eat this kind of food when I was a kid. It’s three parts sour, two parts fishy, one part sweet, and four parts spicy… This is the body and soul poison, which is equivalent to a clone without cultivation. That Insect Cultivator probably heard what we just said.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Feng Yudie, Xiao Yunluo, and Xiao Tian all looked at Pei Lianxue with dull expressions at this moment, causing her to tilt her head slightly, “Huh! What’s wrong?”
After a long time, Xiao Yunluo realized what she was doing and quickly took out several bottles of pills from her storage bag, “Lianxue, then you just eat like this!”
“It doesn’t matter… I often ate it when I was a child.” Pei Lianxue shook her head and declined those tonic pills. “This kind of poison is one of the most delicious among the poisonous insects.”
“…”
Pei Lianxue poured a cup of tea, rinsed her mouth, looked at the mother and daughter lying on the bed, and saw that they were fine, so she asked, “You idiot, do you have any news about Xi Yue?”
“Oh… that’s right!” Feng Yudie came back to her senses, looked at Xiao Tian, blinked her eyes, and said expectantly, “I found out that there is a girl named Xi Yue in Tianfeng Immortal City.”
“Really!”
“True!”
Pei Lianxue thought for a while, smiled, raised her hand, and touched her head, “Well done.”
Feng Yudie immediately blushed and lowered her head, “…Well, hehe… hehe…”
However, Xiao Tian clicked his tongue and shook his head, “Tsk… Sigh…”
Then, the smile on Pei Lianxue’s face suddenly disappeared.
She walked back to the table, put her hand on the map, and scanned the map of the Northern Domain.
“Well… It’s about a hundred and fifty miles to the south.”
Xiao Yunluo looked at the second idiot who was blushing alone and ignored her. She looked at the mother and daughter on the bed and said,
“Lianxue, since we are going to Tianfeng Immortal City, it just so happens that we can tell the Royal Guards in the Immortal City about the demon cultivator and let them continue to investigate the matter. The matter of the demon cultivator is not a small matter.”
“Well, demon cultivator…” Pei Lianxue murmured, then looked back at the two people lying on the bed, “Senior brother is not here, I have to plan… plan… um… plan…”
…
Welp
