Slender willows sway in the breeze

Chapter 51 So Way
"Those who have been to the Frozen Domain should know that they are particularly careful, and the family should also have countermeasures."

Liu Sijun: "In other words, this is common sense."

Neither Liu Shiyuan nor Qin Shuyao ever mentioned it.

She wasn't blaming Qin Shuyao.

They've already done more than enough by sharing their experiences and insights.

However, Liu Shiyuan, as the head of the Liu family and her biological father, never mentioned a word about it.

Is it true that you've forgotten?
Liu Sijun's long eyelashes drooped down.

No child doesn't yearn for parental love. The original owner had deeply longed for it since her mother passed away, but Liu Shiyuan's actions completely severed this last remaining blood tie.

If he doesn't think she has a good chance, then she's even more determined to make it out of the Frozen Domain.

Not only that, she also wanted to find out the truth about her mother's death. If, as Zhu Yingrong said, Liu Shiyuan was the mastermind, she would kill him with her own hands to avenge her mother.

The following day, no major danger was encountered.

Liu Sijun basically handled everything.

Gu Changzhou didn't even draw his sword from its sheath.

That night, they found another cave to stay in, which was larger than the one from the previous night and looked very flat, suggesting that disciples from previous years had stayed there.

As soon as he sat down, Gu Changzhou wanted to eat noodles.

"Are you pushing your luck?"

Yesterday was his birthday, so I cooked it.

I barely lifted my hand today, and I still want to eat noodles.

He's so beautiful.

"One bowl of noodles, ten top-quality crystals."

Gu Changzhou immediately produced ten transparent, flawless, high-quality crystals in his hand: "Will you do it or not?"

Ten!

Egg noodles probably never dreamed they could sell for this price.

"Do it, and wait."

At this price, you can cook three meals a day, and three bowls per meal.

Fortunately, we had enough supplies in our bag. "Having food in hand means you don't have to panic"—this saying is ingrained in our bones.

There are not only eggs, but also meat.

Deluxe version.

Gu Changzhou, upon seeing the meat in the bowl: ...

Yesterday was my birthday, but today I got a lot of things by exchanging crystals.

"Actually, I have other food in my shop. If you want something better, we can discuss it as long as the price is right."

Liu Sijun's eyes were exceptionally bright.

But what it was aimed at was the belt at his waist.

Gu Changzhou's lips twitched violently. He wasn't interested in the man himself, but rather in the crystal.

Doesn't she know that as long as the person belongs to her, all the crystals belong to her?
I'm still too stupid.

Liu Sijun was very satisfied with the ten crystals he received for a bowl of noodles.

Just as Liu Sijun put the pots and pans back in the container, the sound of fighting came from outside. She pouted and said, "Last night it was a Soul-Devouring Beast, what is it tonight!"

The two removed the barrier and saw Liu Shiyuan, with a bruised and swollen face and disheveled hair, flying towards the cave.

A bull-like beast followed closely behind.

Although the adult Explosive Bull Beast is not as large as the Soul Devouring Beast, it is very powerful in both offense and defense, but it has extremely strong explosive power and thick skin, making it difficult to deal with.

No wonder he looked so disheveled.

"My lord, Jun'er, be careful!"

They verbally warned them to be careful, but their actions betrayed their true intentions; they were clearly trying to shift the blame elsewhere.

Liu Sijun rolled her eyes dramatically.

Fortunately, although the Explosive Bull Beast was short-tempered, it was more perceptive than the Soul Devouring Beast. Seeing that there were other cultivators present, it quickly used its front hooves to brake, turned around and ran away with two whooshes.

Only then did Liu Shiyuan dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

He smoothed his disheveled hair from his forehead and said, "Don't worry, the Explosive Bull Beast is gone!"

Then, quite naturally, they walked into the cave: "I saw light coming from afar, but I didn't expect it to be you."

I just cooked noodles.

The cave still retains a lingering fragrance.

Liu Shiyuan wasn't exactly hungry, but after being relentlessly chased by the Exploding Bull Beast for a full day and night, his spiritual energy was severely depleted. Drawn by the aroma, his thoughts weren't on immediately restoring his breathing, but rather on wanting a bowl of hot food. "Did Jun'er cook something earlier?"

"Did the Marquis make this? Father, would you like some?"

Seeing a man and a woman, Liu Shiyuan naturally assumed that it was Liu Sijun who was cooking.

I never expected it to be the Marquis.

They are all cultivators; they won't starve to death even if they don't eat for a day.

Could it be that the two are having an affair?

Otherwise, how could a noble marquis be so humble as to cook for a woman?

"How can I ask the Marquis to do it? You, do something for your father."

Liu Sijun was just about to find a reason to refuse.

Then Gu Changzhou said, "Let me do it, her skills aren't good enough."

Ignoring his fatigue, Liu Shiyuan quickly stood up and declined, saying, "No need for the Marquis to come. I'm not very hungry either, so let's all rest!"

Liu Shiyuan found a corner to sit in.

After regulating your breathing, perk up your ears and listen to the sounds around you.

What? They already spent the night together last night?
What? They knew each other two years ago?

what……

Liu Shiyuan suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

Liu Sijun suspected that Gu Changzhou had something wrong with his mind, wondering why he was suddenly talking about these things.

"My lord, could we please not talk about these things?"

"Okay, I won't tell you!"

Gu Changzhou indeed shut up.

Liu Shiyuan was even more frustrated!
When did the Marquis become so easy to talk to?
It's not like that at Mingyue Tower.

The atmosphere inside the cave was slightly eerie, yet also remarkably harmonious.

Before dawn the next day, Liu Sijun was plagued by nightmares. She dreamt of a black cauldron from which dark green mist constantly rose.

Gradually, the mist condensed into Chu Shi's face. She gave a strange smile to Liu Sijun in her dream, then lunged at her with a ferocious expression.

"what……"

Liu Sijun shouted and opened his eyes.

Eyes facing each other.

Gu Changzhou asked, "Did you have a nightmare?"

"Yes, I dreamt of my mother!"

Liu Sijun answered naturally, but her eyes were on Liu Shiyuan: "I dreamed of a black cauldron, and my mother was trapped inside the cauldron."

He had already investigated the Liu family's affairs thoroughly.

She was clearly testing the waters when she said that.

“You have already formed your core, so you don’t dream easily. In that case, there might be other hidden reasons for your mother’s death.”

Ouch~
So smart?

Everyone wants to give him a thumbs up.

Upon hearing Gu Changzhou's words, Liu Shiyuan, who was standing not far away, visibly changed his expression.

"Father, did my mother really die of illness?"

Liu Shiyuan's expression was displeased: "Of course she died of illness. Your maternal grandmother had a pill refiner from the Chu family examine your mother. How could it be false?"

"A dream is just a dream, don't take it seriously!"

"It's almost dawn. If we set off early, we can reach the center sooner and achieve a good result for the Liu family."

The further north you go, the stronger the monsters become.

Gu Changzhou would only take action if the power disparity was too great. In the past few days, they had been dealing with the aggressive demonic beasts and had also obtained a lot of demon cores.

Demon cores can be sold, and weapon refiners and alchemists can use them to refine pills and forge weapons.

In the past few days, I have encountered many disciples from other states and even other countries who are training. Because of the great Buddha Mo Linhou, most of them are willing to travel with me.

Cousins ​​Chu Yanming and Ji Qiyuan encountered each other one after another.

Hearing how they addressed Gu Changzhou, Ji Qiyuan realized that the person who beat him up that night was actually Mo Linhou. His father had fought against him on the battlefield, so it was no wonder they knew each other.

My father often mentioned this person.
