Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 677: Goddess Luo Sweeping the Stairs
"Pei Ye." The woman's warm breath was on his neck.

"……Um."

"I found the door to Luoshen Palace." Li Xizhou whispered, "My mother left it to me."

"Well...I told you earlier that she would definitely leave it for you."

"Well, you're the smartest."

Normally, this should be a woman's teasing smile, but at this time, she buried her head in his neck, her voice was muffled and light, and it really sounded like true admiration. Pei Ye's body numbed, her soft hair on the side of his face, and he didn't say anything.

"Pei Ye." Li Xizhou said in a low voice.

"Ah."

"I am willing to entrust myself to you countless times."

"..."

"Every time, I absolutely believe in you." Li Xizhou said softly, gently hugging the boy's neck.

"... I, I make mistakes sometimes... I make mistakes all the time, and I can't do everything... Like today, if something went wrong, you, you might be dead."

"If I die, it won't be your fault. I won't blame you." She said softly, "Thank you, Pei Ye, thank you for being so awesome... You are the most awesome person I have ever met."

"..."

Pei Ye was not sure what he felt for a moment, he just sat there in a daze. At a certain moment, he seemed to really feel that something in his heart was growing stronger.

A person may experience many growing-up moments in his life, and Pei Ye cannot count them one by one, but he feels that he will remember this early morning deeply. She is willing to use her life so firmly to pressure you to be the more powerful person.

After an unknown amount of time, Pei Ye stretched out his stiff hands and pulled the quilt that had slipped down to her shoulders and neck: "Aren't you cold?"

Li Xizhou smiled in the crook of his neck and said in a muffled voice: "Let me ask you, I said I found the door to Luoshen Palace, do you know where it is?"

"Where?"

Li Xizhou supported his shoulders and raised his head from his face: "Just swing and you'll find it."

Pei Ye was at a loss: "What do you mean by a swing?"

He moved his body slightly. The warmth and softness on his neck had been making his body stiff, but now it suddenly disappeared, and he felt as if something was missing.

Li Xizhou said: "I'll get up and take you to see it."

"Oh."

Pei Ye responded in a daze, but he didn't move, and the woman didn't move either.

"My clothes are all hanging on the screen."

"...Oh!" Pei Ye quickly stood up.

Li Xizhou stretched out his arm to take the clothes, returned to the gauze curtain, raised his hand and pulled another layer of opaque curtain to cover the front half of the bed. He seemed to sit up with his legs bent, and pushed up the quilt into a big bulge.

After a few searches, the two stockings and calves were stretched out, and they reached under the bed and stepped on the shoes. Then the woman pushed aside the gauze curtain, sat on the edge of the bed, and straightened her clothes in a few moves. She tied her long hair casually with the silk rope in her hand.

She hadn't washed her face or put on makeup, only her eyes were gleaming, a bit like a playful girl waking up in the morning: "Come on, I'll take you to see it."

The morning breeze was cool, raindrops were still pattering outside the window, and the sky was getting brighter. They seemed to be the first to get up in the entire Daming Palace. Pei Ye smiled inexplicably, and his stiff and light body relaxed at this time: "Where are we going?"

"Follow me - what were you daydreaming about just now?" Li Xizhou didn't wear red clothes today. He wore a fairly white shirt and no cloak, as if he couldn't wait to change into light clothes on the first morning of spring.

"Nothing." Pei Ye denied. In fact, he was just thinking about taking out the clothes. There was nothing special about those fabrics. They were usually worn by women. But for some reason, when they became a thin stack in his hand, it was like a dragonfly touching the lake of people's hearts.

At that time, he seemed to want to take a few more glances, but he didn't know what he wanted to see. Anyway, his eyes did not look away.

"This corpse..." Pei Ye changed the subject. He wondered if he should carry it out, but it was raining and it would inevitably get wet, and it might scare Li Xianfang.

"Just leave it there." Li Xizhou walked up to him and stretched out a piece of her wrist to him coquettishly.

"…What are you doing?"

"Give you a bite."

"If you want to feed me blood, it will be less painful to use a sword." Pei Ye smiled, "Otherwise, if I bite you, you will scream again and wake up Qu Xinxianfang."

"I'm talking to the kitten."

"..."

The black cat had entered the hall at some point and lightly jumped onto Pei Ye's shoulder. It was indeed very sharp-tongued, and a slight pressure left two tiny red dots on the wrist.

Then he bit Pei Ye again, leaving the blood in his body.

"This way we can tie the knot together." Li Xizhou lowered his hand and held his wrist, whispering, "Let's go."

She walked in front, holding Pei Ye's hand behind her and walked out of the bedroom. When she pushed open the door, Pei Ye suddenly felt a trance - the sounds of rain and wind seemed to be blurred. They stood under the eaves, and the drizzling rain came in slantingly and wet the curtains. Pei Ye looked at the yard, stunned.

The Zhujing Hall he saw was not the one he was familiar with. It was new and empty. The only thing that was the same was that it was a rainy morning in early spring.

The entire Zhujing Palace... the entire world, it seemed like there were only the two of them.

"You, you can enter the spiritual realm?" Pei Ye was surprised, "How, how can you bring me in?"

But this question was not answered. Li Xizhou grabbed his wrist and pulled him towards the eaves.

"It's still raining, take an umbrella."

"Don't you like getting wet in the rain?"

"Aren't you afraid of the cold?"

"I'm not afraid now." Li Xizhou jumped down the stairs lightly, stood in the rain, squinted his eyes comfortably, and stretched out his hand to welcome the small beads flying down from the sky, "Have I ever told you that I actually like to be closer to the cold wind and rain."

"Well, cool things are always refreshing, and people like them."

"I'm even more extreme than that." Li Xizhou watched him walk down the stairs, his clothes quickly becoming mottled in different shades. "It's almost to the point of greed. Because I have this kind of cold blood flowing in my body, I naturally yearn for the realm of chilling spirits and bones."

She walked around the bedroom and led the boy into the archway in the backyard. The color of the walls was still very new. This paint was obviously very waterproof and would not become dull until many years of washing.

"Look." Li Xizhou stopped after entering the door and looked forward. Without any prompting, Pei Ye had already seen the neat and beautiful swing hanging under the old tree. At this time of year, new buds were sprouting from the branches, and the tree looked full of vitality.

Li Xizhou walked over and said: "Let me teach Young Master Pei to recite a poem titled "To My Little Girl"."

"What?" "She was so nauseous when she saw people, and she didn't want to go back to sleep and loved the little car. She cried all night because she thought her clothes were too small." Li Xizhou smiled. She looked at the empty seat, not knowing whose shadow she was looking at. She suddenly tilted her head and said, "Young Master Pei said before that he could play on the swing. Was it with his childhood playmate?"

"Yes, when I was in Feng Huai, there were many children of the same age."

"No wonder Young Master Pei said that only two people can be regarded as toys."

"This is not nonsense." Pei Ye leaned against the tree next to the swing. "Think about it, what's the fun of playing on a swing alone, unless that person is stupid. Two people, one swinging and the other pushing, the one who swings high will naturally be excited and scream with joy, and the one who pushes will feel that he is in control and has a sense of accomplishment, so the two of them will have fun together."

Li Xizhou looked at him and said, "Last night I was swinging on a swing in my dream. I was quite happy swinging alone."

"You keep looking up, but I didn't say you were stupid."

Li Xizhou seemed to give in to him today and said with a smile: "Well, that's because I don't have much experience."

She held the rope of the swing, shook the water stains off and sat on it, adjusting her sitting position and saying, "I'm holding on tight."

Pei Ye smiled, walked forward, held the rope with one hand, gently supported her back with the other hand, and with a gentle force, sent her to a high place.

Li Xizhou really understood what the boy meant. This kind of sudden and out-of-control throwing was the magic elixir to induce laughter. She almost screamed out, laughing intermittently while repeatedly asking him to slow down.

But the boy obviously had his own rhythm and knew exactly when to suddenly throw her up and when to let her mistakenly believe that she was settled.

But she soon got used to it and started asking him to go higher.

"If it's any higher, you'll fly out." Pei Ye laughed, "Is a swing so fun? How long are you going to play with it?"

"Just keep swinging. We can talk while we swing."

“I was pushing and talking at the same time.”

"Because Young Master Pei is the best." Li Xizhou stretched out his two beautiful legs, with his hair flying on his cheeks. "Young Master Pei is pushing the swing. Did you remember anything?"

"homesick?"

"Remember our mission."

“…Still writing.”

"What are you talking about? You wrote four chapters and sent them all out, but you're not going to write more?" Li Xizhou looked at him from the front and back, "What if people read half of it?"

"Alas, I think writing this is more tiring than practicing swordplay." Pei Ye said, "I thought it was quite interesting at first, but then I became so busy, I didn't expect I would have to write it again."

"Now, Young Master Pei knows how difficult it is to update the story steadily every month."

Pei Ye did not go to her side of the battle: "Those who are difficult will not be able to do it, and those who are able to do it will not be difficult. I think it is not difficult for Your Highness. As the saying goes, 'creation is a matter of one go.' I actually think that two chapters should be published per month."

Li Xizhou snorted.

"Your Highness, have you had enough fun? Where is Luoshen Palace?"

Li Xizhou retracted his legs and signaled him to stop.

"Hmm?" Pei Ye looked at her.

Li Xizhou used his remaining strength to gently shake it in front of him and said, "Isn't this already Luoshen Palace?"

Pei Ye was startled. He turned his head and used the wall in front of him as the axis. It seemed as if the space he was in was folded in half like paper, or as if a mirror was reflecting himself over there.

He seemed to see the twelve countercurrents like the sky curtain he saw in the mirage that day, hanging down from the palace wall in front of him. Whenever you try to cross it, you will be sent back to the original place.

Now it is right behind him, and it seems like two different worlds from this small courtyard in the spring rain, or it can be said that it is the curtain outside this world.

It turns out that Luoshen Palace is such a place. It will be useless even if the wrong person travels through it thousands of times, but the right person doesn't need to move a single step.

Pei Ye turned around, with his back to the palace wall, and saw everything magnificent.

He didn't know when he was in the water.

The clean grass on the ground, the swimming fish, and the dense rosewood trees that started outside the palace were everywhere here. They were like scattered stars, all gathering towards the front.

But there is no land.

Everything grows in clear water, where the countercurrent constitutes another material, which may serve as the ground, or as a wall, or even as a fence and flower pot, becoming the silk thread for the owner to weave his own residence.

If you want to go up and forward, the road ahead is paved with countercurrent.

You have to give up the human habit of walking, enter the flow of water, and use the power given by nature to propel yourself.

Pei Ye seemed to have regained his old habits.

Li Xizhou stood up from the swing and looked at the end of the upstream current in front of her. All the light was provided by the peach trees of Luoshen. As they went up, the light gathered together and gradually became unclear.

This road is very simple, clear and quiet. There are no twists and turns, no mysteries or dangers as far as you can imagine. As long as you walk on it, you will get all the answers.

It seemed as if there were only the two of them in the whole world.

Pei Ye looked back at the woman, and Li Xizhou just looked at her quietly. Pei Ye didn't know what she dreamed about last night, and he waited for her move.

Finally, Li Xizhou lowered his head and jumped into the water: "Let's go."

Pei Ye followed her.

"Do you know what's inside Luoshen Palace?"

"...As I said before, it is the qualification to enter the Mirage Realm and the key to inheriting [White Water]."

"Yes." Li Xizhou whispered in front, "That is its original attribute. It can make the person who obtains it plunge into the Spirit Abyss to find the source of the Spirit Realm and inherit this world, regardless of the ten thousand lakes."

"originally?"

"Well, because mother didn't use it like that." Li Xizhou said, "Mother left the water and came to the shore. She has spent more than 20 years on the shore since then."

"..."

"So what she did with it was another thing."

"what?"

Li Xizhou turned around and glanced at him, smiling: "What do you think?"

But she didn't really ask him to guess. She just took a look and said, "That's why I mentioned "February Snake Repellent" to you."
