Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 615: Today's View
After swallowing the twelve scale flowers, it was as if a sweet rain fell in the Dantian under the abdomen. There was no need to wait for the medicinal properties to evaporate and the body to absorb them. The effect was immediate.

Like a starving glutton, it swallowed all the nutrients in one gulp. One hundred and twenty-eight branches grew stronger and stronger at the same time, until they almost reached the height before the Hidden Tiger Sword Form was ignited for the first time.

The strong vitality brought by menopause of this magical skill took effect at the same time. Under the resonance of true energy, the broken bones and tendons were quickly connected to each other. Pei Ye gripped the sword and had recovered about 70% of his strength.

"Thank you very much." Luo Weiyou sat on the stone with her head down and looked at him. Her slender and swaying figure reminded Pei Ye of the Luoshenmu peach.

"There's nothing I can do about them. I can only watch as the peach blossoms are plucked one by one." She shook her legs slightly. "I don't like to see those mermaids being killed either. They should have been able to talk to me and know not to barge in."

"Their minds should be under control. I try not to kill them." Pei Ye said, "However, I have killed three, four, five, six...seven or eight."

Luo Weiyou smiled: "You'd better kill him, don't be too confident."

"fine."

"In fact, I think even if they come here, they may not be able to enter the Luoshen Palace. However, these quiet streams will never be peaceful again." She said, "Cold stone blue flowers, soft grass and small fish... I like them very much."

"Yeah." Pei Ye tied the broken bone with a bandage.

"I seem to have a very powerful swordsman in the past." Danying suddenly raised his head and said to himself.

Pei Ye paused.

"That's why I felt so familiar when I saw your sword. Unfortunately, I really can't remember anything." She said softly, "If he was still here, he would definitely protect where I am."

"..."

Pei Ye lowered his head and said nothing. After a while, he tied the belt, waved goodbye, and jumped lightly into the water.

The faint figure behind me was still sitting on the stone, with a dreamy and cold flower growing beside her. She tilted her head, as if she was still recalling those memories that she would never be able to remember.

……

After getting familiar with this water area and seeing scales appearing on my wrist, my secret enemy Pei Ye almost turned into a water monster that appeared and disappeared.

He swam back from in front of the temple and returned to the foot of Mount Yique, where there were tall rocks and thickets of aquatic plants. This time, it was no longer the sharks that were searching for his location. Instead, he was wandering in the circle formed by these humans and mermaids. There was no sound or trace, only the spurting of bright red blood with every brief encounter.

Before the whistle is blown, the muscles in the jaw and neck have already broken.

And beneath the dark sand, there is a dark and terrifying predator who helps him.

This scene really only took a quarter of an hour. When Pei Ye took a step upstream, the mermaid once again picked him up from behind with a fierce stream of water.

But this time Pei Ye's speed was no longer behind theirs. He accurately controlled the true energy to drive his body, and he was far ahead in the dark waters.

His sense of direction in his mind was very clear at this time. He went straight in the direction where he entered the water, made a few circles around it, and then when the time was almost up, he stopped about twenty feet to the north.

Then he hovered there, looked back at the seven or eight mermaids flying towards him, took a deep breath, and slowly disappeared into the water.

The Jiao Liu passed through his afterimage, but only nothingness remained.

Daming Palace, north bank of the South Pond.

As dusk fell, only a trace of white remained on the edge. The snow by the pool had almost melted, but there was still a layer of snow on the ice, like a layer of silver powder sprinkled on a mirror, smooth and delicate, without any footprints on it.

A small pavilion stands by the pond, also clean and tidy, with a boat tied to it and frozen on the frozen surface of the pond.

Pei Ye swam upstream for only a few breaths and when he raised his hand he touched the thick layer of ice.

The ice in the deep winter is actually much stronger than many people imagine. In such an environment where one cannot penetrate the Qi, it is very laborious to destroy it with brute force. If one happens to have no tools and is injured, even a cultivator in the middle three realms is at risk of suffocation.

However, the young man had naturally long since gotten rid of the situation where a Pulse Realm cultivator could only rely on his true Qi. He placed his palm lightly on the ice, and a restrained vermilion first appeared on the palm of his hand, and then gradually became brighter.

The snow on the ice melted first. Looking down from above, I saw a dimly refracted light floating in the ice, which looked quiet and beautiful under the night sky.

The next moment, the ice layer also melted silently, and a fiery lotus blossomed on the ice surface, which was blown away by the wind. Then, a hand was placed on the ice surface, and then a figure lightly jumped out, with a cluster of clear water peaks a foot long under his feet.

Pei Ye did not use fire to evaporate the cold and wetness on his body, and water was still dripping down his body. He had already grasped the hilt of the sword and raised his head. On the shore three feet in front of him, the man in the purple-gold robe was standing there quietly, looking at him, with his hands hidden in his sleeves, his expression as cold and hard as the purple gold on his left cheek.

He has been standing on Nanchi since he lost Pei Ye's figure. When Pei Ye appeared in front of the merman again, he locked his position. The merman did not have to catch up with the boy, but only needed to determine the location where he left the mirage.

Pei Ye didn't say anything, just looked at him, then looked away. He raised his hand and twisted his wet hair, and the water fell to the ground with a splash. He clasped his fists forward and bowed respectfully.

"I have seen your Highness."

Behind Yu Sicheng's robe that fluttered in the wind, in a small pavilion beside the pool, a woman in red and gold was sitting at a stone table, looking over. Behind her, a tall and slender figure was holding a lantern somewhat stiffly, reflecting a circle of faint orange light, and a black warm cloak was draped over her arm.

"No need to be so polite." Li Xizhou said, "Come up and put on some clothes."

Pei Ye stood up to express his gratitude, shook off the remaining water on his body, straightened his body with his sword in hand, and walked past Yu Sicheng.

"I'm sorry to trouble Eunuch Yu. I have to trouble you to repair the outer wall of the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Li Xizhou stood up and said to the shore.

"Your Highness, your words are sincere. This is my duty." Yu Sicheng turned around, performed a very slight courtesy, and stood still again with his sleeves folded.

Li Xizhou turned around and said calmly, "He's so wet, take off your coat and put it on him."

The tall and slender figure put down the lamp in a hurry, and Pei Ye recognized that this person was the woman from the Music Bureau who was knocked unconscious in the morning.

She unskillfully stepped forward to help the boy untie his outer garment that was stuck together by blood and water, then shook out the cloak in her arms and draped it over the boy's shoulders. The thick, warm cloak wrapped around his body that had been cold for several hours, and Pei Ye exhaled gently.

Li Xizhou looked at his bloody neck and shoulder and said, "Your timing is so accurate. If I am delayed by someone, Yu Sicheng will kill you without blinking an eye."

"Your Highness, I told Xu Chuo before I went into the water, and she said she received it." Pei Ye pulled the front of his clothes, feeling the warmth of the soft velvet against his skin.

"..." Li Xizhou glanced at him, "She herself is not even in the palace, yet you trust her so much."

After saying this, he left the pavilion first, and the two followed him and left.

……

It had been a long time since so many bright candles were lit in Zhujing Hall, illuminating the bedrooms in the side hall as bright as day and spring.

Two screens were drawn in front of the bed, but there was no one outside the screens. There was only a sword and a wet cloak hanging on the screens, and a jade-black kitten lying at the junction of light and darkness.

"[Mercury Floating Raft]... Got it, I'll ask Yangyi Tower." The woman said indifferently, "What do you mean by saying that the water realm is lost at the end and can't go any further?"

"I think that's what Yu Sicheng has been devoted to for many years. Shadow said that behind that is the former residence of Luoshen. No one is allowed to enter without permission."

"...I have never seen the former residence of the Goddess of Luo River. Can you tell me in detail what it looks like?"

Li Xizhou was still wearing the gold mask. He sat on the chair with his chin propped up, looking at him. His cold eyes were unusually quiet.

"Oh," Pei Ye frowned and slowly told what he saw in the water world. He sat on the edge of the bed with his legs stretched out. Li Xianfang was kneeling on the bed behind him, helping him wipe the blood from his shoulders and neck in an unskilled manner.

After finishing a paragraph, Li Xizhou closed his eyes and remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he fixed his eyes on the young man again: "I know - I have arranged for Qu Xin to come over for you tomorrow. Let her help you apply some medicine to your wound tonight."

"Ah, it's not that serious..."

"Next time you take action in the palace, try not to involve irrelevant people."

"Ah?...Oh!" Pei Ye turned his head and took a look. Behind his shoulder, Li Xianfang was pursing her lips and carefully helping him wipe the blood from the wound. She looked very serious, as if this task was enough to immerse her to the point of losing her hearing.

Pei Ye turned around and said, "Thank you for your kindness in rescuing her. I couldn't take care of her at the time, so I had to ask Your Highness to protect her."

"It's not a big deal," Li Xizhou said calmly, "Just try to be more clear next time. You told Xu Chuo in [Zhi Yi] to let me protect a dancer from the Jiaofang Bureau, but you left her on the bed... I thought it would be a naked woman."

“……” Pei Ye didn’t look away.

"You don't have to be nervous. There are no rules here." Li Xizhou supported his cheek and looked at Li Xianfang who also lowered his head. "Don't just wipe his neck. He has many wounds on his upper body."

There were indeed many more. The blood stains had already soaked through the inner shirt and could not be removed even by washing or blisters. What was particularly horrifying was the clothes at the shoulders, where the fabric had stuck to the flesh and bones.

Li Xianfang stood up and peeled off the terrible underwear as gently as possible. Pei Ye pursed his lips and glanced at Li Xizhou next to him. Li Xizhou looked at him motionlessly with his chin propped up.

"Yu Ziliang has been taken away by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This case probably won't be transferred to Jingzhao Prefecture or Xianrentai. Although I won't let anyone arrest you for this reason, if it is really confirmed that it is you, it will be a handle. If there is any evidence left, please let me know and I will make it disappear before dawn."

Pei Ye was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Li Xianfang.

Li Xianfang froze for a moment.

"Except her." Li Xizhou said.

"No more." Pei Ye turned his head. "I was wrapped tightly in a black robe, with my feet padded up a bit, and I was wearing the mask from the play "Huan Si Lou" on my face."

"But you saved her life, so I'm afraid you can't pretend to be a happy dead building."

"Yes." Pei Ye thought it through very carefully. "So I didn't dress very neatly. If I didn't run into anyone else, I would kill Yu Ziliang and his group, and it would be Huan Si Lou. If I spared this...sister, it would be the Sun Tun Society pretending to be Huan Si Lou. In short, they can always guess that it was me, but they can't get any evidence."

Li Xizhou was silent for a while for no apparent reason: "Don't pretend to be a Sun Swallow Club next time."

"what?"

"Just remember that." He rolled his eyes slightly under his golden face. "You should take care of your wounds for a few days. If you have any wild ideas in the future, ask me before you go... or ask Xu Chuo. In addition, I have already received Guo You in the side hall. You can find a way to ask him tomorrow."

"Yes."

The hall fell silent. Li Xianfang used more than ten handkerchiefs to wipe the boy's upper body clean. She carefully applied ointment and did a simple bandage. Then she got off the bed gently, bowed to both of them, and walked out quickly and calmly.

There were only two people left in the hall. Li Xizhou looked at him quietly. Pei Ye felt a little cold for some reason. He smiled awkwardly, stood up, took a thin shirt from the top of the cabinet and put it on. Only then did he relax a little.

"Well, I've seen enough anyway." Li Xizhou straightened up without caring, and finally glanced at his chest which was still not covered.

“……” Pei Ye’s hand stopped in the air, staring at her blankly with his big eyes.

"Your waist and abdomen are so beautiful, like the tail of a silver fish. You should pay more attention when practicing martial arts in the future, so as not to make it ugly." The golden mask had no expression and spoke in a light tone, "Well... can I touch it?"

"cannot!"

"Okay." Li Xizhou nodded as if he didn't care. He lowered his head and took a small booklet from the side and handed it to the table. "This is also what Xu Chuo asked me to bring to you. She said that after you finish this class, you should have time to read it."

Pei Ye was still in shock from being teased for the first time in his life. In his mind, he was still weighing the relative importance of power and personal reputation. He subconsciously looked over, but was slightly startled. He forgot to cover his chest and reached out to take it.

The cover couldn't be more familiar, and it looked brand new - it was the national newspaper from December last year.
