Chapter 199 Hot Springs in the Mountains
Chu Wuji took a handful of herbs, mixed them into the feed of the two foals, and fed them to them. It felt like he was secretly "adding ingredients" to the little girls' food.
Bai Sujin and Madam Baihu have both determined the effects of this herb. It has warming and cooling effects, nourishing yin and replenishing qi, and can be eaten as a snack.
It doesn't have any bad medicinal effects, not as outrageous as that vine of milk melons.
"Eat, after you finish these spiritual herbs, you should be able to transform. All the spiritual energy during this severe cold season has been used to feed you. If you can speak again later, you must go thank Madam White Tiger."
Two blonde mares came over and rubbed his palms with their horns to show their affection and love, and then ate the food patiently.
The feed looked dry, but they ate it very happily, their cheeks bulging out like little squirrels.
I feel that this human form also limits the speed of eating, and the little mouth has to chew for a long time before swallowing a mouthful.
Chu Wuji waited patiently for them to eat, and then thought back to this trip, which was quite turbulent!
Even an ancient beast like the Qilin could reappear in the mountain tomb. Fortunately, everything was resolved very smoothly, especially the entire Lihuo Mountain Range was brought under control!
What the Fox Goddess said was true. The path to tempering the physical body really cannot be separated from heaven and earth. It is impossible to stay in the fairy mountains and breathe in and out in seclusion comfortably like ordinary cultivators.
It’s a pity that this mountain god state has great geographical limitations. If it leaves this mountain range, it will have to become a free-range chicken again.
There is a huge gap!
"Oh, I forgot to say goodbye to Xiaohong from the inn, but with all the commotion going on in Chizhao Town, she must have known what I was doing. It's also bizarre, she almost witnessed a living person being suffocated to death by a tiger skin..."
"Who?"
As soon as the little white tiger heard the key words, it ran over and looked at Chu Wuji curiously. Because she had to help roast the suckling pig later, she finally changed back into human form and ran around the valley barefoot.
"A merchant in Chizhao Town was offered a tiger skin as payment for a debt he couldn't pay. The merchant used it as a blanket, which caused him to develop a high fever and nearly died in his bed."
Miss Xiaotu took off her tiger-head hat, which was the product of her spiritual power and similar to the robes of the Fox Goddess. She learned it by herself.
She asked, "If I cover the pheasants with a tiger-head hat, can I steam them directly?"
Chu Wuji pinched her small round face and explained helplessly: "It can make the qi and blood of those wild pheasants abnormal, but they are not cooked thoroughly and cannot be eaten."
"If it's inedible, then I won't try... Jianjian Ma is full." Xiaotu reminded, pointing at the two exotic mares with her tender little hands.
Chu Wuji took a look and found that it was true. The foals had finished eating without realizing it and began to feel sleepy. They must be about to transform.
Their eyelids were heavy and their heads drooped. They had a handful of grass in their hands and took a small bite. Soon they could no longer resist the sleepiness, so they bent their legs, lay down and fell asleep.
Seeing their situation, Chu Wuji stopped paying attention to this side for the time being. He could not help with the subsequent steps.
"Let's go roast the suckling pig. Have you dealt with those spiritual piglets?" He picked up the little rabbit and walked towards the barbecue grill.
"Okay! The internal organs have been taken out and the blood has been drained." The little girl's tone was anxious, urging him to walk faster.
"Row."
Roast suckling pig is probably a dish that is popular everywhere. It is known as "roasted pig". The cooking method is similar to that of roasted chicken, and there are many similarities in the ideas.
After the internal organs are processed, the belly is stuffed with ingredients, including medicinal food ingredients, and then the surface is covered with clean grass mud and thrown into the fire. After that, the mud is peeled off and the sauce is added for the second round of grilling.
Because of its large size, it is difficult to cook thoroughly and often has to be roasted for several days before it can be served.
But this kind of trouble does not exist in the valley. Not to mention Madam Baihu and the others, Chu Wuzhi can now rely on the power of the mountain god to quickly roast the little pig.
He cherished the state of the mountain god very much. As soon as the roast suckling pig was ready to be served, he mobilized the power of the mountain and locked Xiaotu in a stone prison, leaving a small opening for her to observe the situation outside.
"Twolegs, what are you doing!"
Puzzled, Xiaotu swung her fist to smash it, but found it difficult to move?!
Although she is the mountain god recognized by the Lihuo Kingdom, she is only limited to the mountain range in the Lihuo Kingdom. Chu Wuji and Madam Baihu occupy the entire Lihuo Mountains, and their mountain god rank is higher than Xiaotu.
Mrs. Baihu also did not understand Chu Wuji's behavior, but she knew that Chu Wuji had no ill intentions, so she did not interfere.
Chu Wuzhi cut a piece of pork belly and pork tenderloin from the roast suckling pig, came to the small entrance of the stone prison, and began to eat with relish in front of the little white tiger.
"I'm afraid that Xiaotu will eat too fast, so you should watch us elders finish eating first!" He was not a bad person either, as he did not forget to let the little girl smell the aroma of the roasted suckling pig.
"Mom, the two-legged beast bullied me!" The little rabbit stamped his feet anxiously in the stone prison, his lips pouting in grievance.
"I've been told you always call me a two-legged beast. Do you now understand how dangerous adults are?"
Chu Wuzhi didn't tease her for too long. Seeing that Xiaotu was really about to cry, he quickly let her out.
After the little girl rushed out of the stone prison, the first thing she did was to grab Chu Wuzhi's hand and bite it. After taking two bites, she found that eating barbecue was more satisfying, so she snatched the meat from his hand and ran to Mrs. Baihu's muscular long legs, hiding from Chu Wuzhi to eat the meat.
She wolfed down the meat in her hand. Seeing Chu Wuzhi standing next to the roasted suckling pig, Xiaotu didn't dare to take it, fearing that she would be imprisoned again. She had to ask her mother for meat.
"Mom, give me some meat..."
So, from time to time, a small hand would rise up beside Madam Baihu's tight thighs. Only after Madam Baihu gave her the meat would the small hand be retracted, and then raised again after a while.
Bai Sujin and Aunt Green Snake found it very funny. Chu Wuji was usually very serious, but he liked to tease the little white tiger.
But it wasn't too excessive, just enough.
The little white tiger did not hold a grudge. After eating his fill of meat, he forgot about the adults' dangers. While asking Chu Wuji what he wanted to eat next time, he squinted his eyes and yawned sleepily.
So carefree, just eat and sleep.
Chu Wuji stopped teasing the girl and asked Madam Baihu to take her daughter to rest. He also had to recover.
"Mom, Auntie, let's go find a hot spring and soak in it. After that, we can rest. By then, the two horses will probably have almost completed their transformation."
Although Madam Baihu did not tell the exact location of the hot spring in the mountain, Chu Wuji quickly discovered the location of the hot spring by relying on his control over the Lihuo Mountains.
In fact, not far away, under the cliff near the mountaintop cabin, there is a cave on the high stone wall, where there is a natural hot spring.
While taking a bath here, you can also look out at the cliffs and the magnificent scenery of snow-capped mountains. I can only say that Mrs. Baihu really knows how to choose a place.
If a person with a strange destiny falls from the edge of a cliff, he will not find the secret manual of martial arts hidden there, but will only fall into the hot spring, take a bath, and then wait for death quietly.
"I have to admit defeat now. Madam Baihu's cave is much better than ours. The seasonal spiritual energy and the scenery are so enjoyable..."
Aunt Green Snake was not at all shy while expressing her feelings. She loosened her hair tie, and her high ponytail spread out, turning into a soft waterfall of black hair draped behind her. Her clothes soon fell to the side, and her figure as icy as ice and as delicate as a cluster of charming white snow on the cliff.
She happily jumped into the hot spring and splashed water on her sister White Snake and the younger generation.
"Hurry up, too!"
"Xiaoqing, you soak in the bath first. I'll chat with Wu Ji." Bai Sujin replied, and then sat down beside the hot spring. The hot water soaked her skirt, and her white and beautiful calves were faintly visible.
Chu Wuji understood. He put his robe together with his aunt's, then walked to his mother's side and took off her embroidered shoes and silk stockings.
"What's so important to say? It's so formal and urgent."
"It's business, but it's not urgent...it's what you were talking about at the Gong Family Ancestral Hall."
"Were there any problems with what we talked about at that time?" Chu Wuzhi looked up and recalled, feeling that he didn't say anything special.
"Were those words you boasted about to the little girl from the Gong family sincere?"
Chapter 200 Heart-to-heart talk
Chu Wuji was stunned for a long time before he reconciled his memory. He remembered what he had boasted about at that time. It should be the few words he said when Bai Sujin took him for a stroll.
He laughed dumbly: "Mother, I thought you were talking about something else, you looked so serious, I thought you said something wrong at that time~"
The dignified and gentle young woman in the white dress had a serious expression. She was not joking. She pinched her son's handsome face with her soft and boneless hands and said seriously:
"Talk to me seriously, I really want to know!"
Aunt Green Snake swam around the hot spring. She returned to her two family members, climbed to the side of her sister White Snake, listened to what they were talking about, and stopped making trouble.
Chu Wuji suppressed his smile, carefully considered his words, then looked at his beautiful mother, who was so quiet and graceful, and said:
"Mother, you may think that that experience only provided me with a safe environment for growth, at least allowing me to grow up, but the happiness and freedom I felt during that time was more important to me!
Just like Yun Qingying from the Yun family...Oh, you may not know her, mother."
Chu Wuji quickly corrected his memory. The "Bai Sujin" who knew Yun Qingying at that time was not herself.
However, when they were in the Gong family ancestral hall, Chu Wuji briefly mentioned Yun Qingying to Gong Li, and Bai Sujin should have heard it at that time.
"Their upbringing was so auspicious, they didn't have to worry about their futures being insecure or the cold, but that wasn't happiness or freedom at all. After they grew up in exhaustion and pain, the family elders still rightfully considered it a favor.
But if the two girls don’t make it, they will accuse them of being weak and failing to live up to their expectations. If they succeed, it’s all their own fault, and if they fail, it’s the children’s incompetence.”
There is no shortage of such situations in this world. People bring their children here to suffer, but they still try to justify it as a favor.
"Back then, my mother acted like a weak woman. Sometimes we'd get lost and couldn't find the village for days, often going hungry and relying on fruit for food. But my mother's concern for me remained constant.
You always feel that you haven't done enough, but I feel that mother has given me the best care!"
After Chu Wuji finished speaking, he opened his arms and hugged Bai Sujin, pulling her to soak in the hot spring. This wasn't a serious meeting, so why was she sitting so stiffly? It made him nervous.
Bai Sujin was still lost in thought, while Aunt Qingshe said with a sullen smile:
"I didn't think it was a big deal. Haven't we talked about it several times? Why are you still talking about it?"
"Because I talked to you about this once in the waterfall cave, so you may feel that old things are being brought up again." Chu Wuzhi reminded.
"Ahem..." Aunt Green Snake pretended not to hear and swam to Chu Wuzhi's side to torment him, forcing this kid to refute his elders!
However, Aunt Green Snake was not just playing around, she mentioned something:
"Sister, you think you haven't done anything special, but I think the most important thing is that you haven't put any anxiety or pressure on Wuji in the past! Even when you wanted him to practice cultivation, you didn't mean he would become powerful, but simply wanted him to live longer so he wouldn't die young."
"Yeah, that's it. If mother doubts you again next time, I won't explain!" Chu Wuji said with a relaxed smile.
"That's good..." Bai Sujin breathed a sigh of relief, and a faint smile appeared on her rosy lips, a smile that came from the heart.
Suddenly I felt that all the merits of the White Snake Temple were used to exchange for this son. Thinking about it, I felt that it was a good deal.
Suddenly, the two plump breasts in front of Bai Sujin rose, unexpectedly breaking free from the constraints of her clothes and bellyband. Under the hot water, the pair of large and proud pink balls were clearly visible with fine veins, white and rosy. It turned out that the Green Snake had dived underwater and reached out to support her sister, the White Snake, in her arms.
"Xiaoqing, do you want to be beaten?"
Bai Sujin was slightly annoyed, and Aunt Green Snake swam out of the water again. Her wet black hair stuck to her skin. She hid behind Chu Wuji, hugged him with her arms, and used Chu Wuji's broad back as a shield.
"Sister, I forgot to mention this. Although you didn't cause Wuji to feel anxious in the past, you kept it in your mind and released it all last year, which has trained Wuji's ability to withstand it~"
"Xiaoqing...Wuji, quickly catch your aunt!"
If she was just slightly embarrassed and annoyed when her sister Qing Snake teased her underwater before, Bai Sujin is really angry now. She is bringing up something that is not related to the topic!
While scolding him, Bai Sujin quietly observed her son's reaction. Seeing that he looked normal, she felt relieved.
"Aunt, I'm sorry~" Chu Wuji reacted very quickly. As soon as his mother finished speaking, he turned around and hugged Aunt Qingshe's delicate body. It was so smooth and tender that it seemed like it would slip away if he wasn't careful!
He put his hands under Aunt Green Snake's armpits and then locked her shoulders with his backhand. With such a lock, there was no possibility of escape, except for the snake.
"You little bastard, you have no conscience. Do you listen to everything your sister says?"
The Green Snake Aunt laughed and scolded, and her delicate body turned into a slender and nimble green green snake. She escaped from Chu Wuji's embrace, dived into the waves of the hot spring, and then quietly came back, wrapping herself around Chu Wuji's strong body. She transformed into a human upper body in front of him and held Chu Wuji's face in her arms.
This is a playful fight between family members. Even though the waves in the hot spring are rolling, stirring up layers of water splashes, and pearls and jade are flying, there are still smiles on their faces.
Chu Wuji said, "Aunt, when you tested me, didn't you say you wanted to see if I was truly devoted to Mother?"
Aunt Qing Snake immediately corrected herself and said righteously: "Between the mother outside and my own mother, you should choose my own mother. Between my mother and my aunt, you should choose my aunt~"
Bai Sujin walked over slowly, flicked her sister's forehead, and then, feeling unsatisfied, patted her soft and elastic peach again, scolding:
"Xiaoqing, you're so shameless that you've denied everything you've done. You did good things twice when you went out, but you lied and didn't report it after you came back!"
"I'm not worried that your state of mind might be disturbed and that you'd have trouble reshaping your demon body. This is for the greater good."
Aunt Green Snake was very reasonable, but she only dared to talk so much because she was sure that her sister White Snake was not angry. If she found that her sister was in a bad mood, she would immediately keep quiet.
They happened to be talking about this matter, and it was a rare family outing and gathering, so Aunt Green Snake took the opportunity to bring up the topic that had been hanging in the air.
She carefully observed the White Snake's expression, noting the slightest change in her mood. While holding Chu Wuji, she asked:
"Sister, let me ask you something. What do you think about Wu Ji and me?
I asked you this before, but you didn't give me a clear answer. Is it true or not? Don't keep skipping over this. Wuji has already answered your doubts directly, so why don't you give me a direct answer as well~?"
