It's the beauty that brings disaster. I'm also desperate.

——Internal strength, military tactics, and physical skills.

Internal strength comes first. Whether a first-grade warrior can reach the next level depends on his internal strength.

One can imagine how important it is to warriors.

Xia Li figured out all of the above while she was in the pit of Yunyin... She had a clear plan for the future, which could be fine-tuned without changing the general direction.

and so.

She must not let Xiang Yi ruin her plan.

Fortunately, Xiang Yi told Xia Li today. This female ghost was not very smart and asked if she had been persecuted and wanted to protect her. If she went to Lu Man and mentioned it later, it would really ruin everything.

Shengsheng estimated...

No matter how much Lu Man admired her beauty, he would not feel at ease until she was imprisoned for the entire period.

Moreover, Xia Li had always had some guesses in his mind.

When Xiang Yi looked at her, he never looked at her like an ordinary-looking woman since they met. Instead, he often looked amazed or had a brief infatuation. But he was not sure until today, when she said that she was wary and hostile to everyone.

This made Shengsheng alert...

Xiang Yi is probably a person with extremely sharp perception.

Because of her light mist disguise, only two people can see through it... One is someone who is born with extremely sensitive perception, and the other is someone whose cultivation is far beyond her.

Judging from the extent that Hua Shuangxue was unable to see through, it could at least be concealed from a warrior with the cultivation level of a 'half-step grandmaster', that is, below the third level of the martial arts realm.

It can be inferred that the other party is the former.

Xiang Yi is different from the three Liu brothers and the little people like Lu Fuwei, who cannot be killed. Fortunately, he is fascinated by her beauty, so Shengsheng decides to go with the flow...

This is why there has just been a change in attitude.

——Oh~, this is so troublesome.

——That’s why I don’t like to use beauty tricks. Conquering by force is still the easiest.

While thinking this, Xia Li pressed his body against Xiang Yi very skillfully, making her look intimate, which made her face red and her body stiff.

After this attack, she pretended to be serious again, maintaining an elegant posture and walking slowly towards Weilanju.

Weilanju has three floors, and the top floor has the best view.

Since we have reserved the place, the banquet will naturally be held on the top floor...

Xiang Yi was held by Xia Li, and she was in a trance all the way until she stepped onto the second floor corridor. The girl was so passionate and so close... Whether it was her breath, body fragrance or soft body, she could feel more.

She was already a little drunk at this moment.

Drunk and not knowing where to go!

Her heart was filled with joy. She was not a novice who knew nothing. She knew exactly what this meant. It was precisely because of this clear understanding that she felt inexplicably excited and stimulated.

Fang Shengsheng was like a cup of sweet poisoned wine. She knew she couldn't drink it, and couldn't even touch it. But when it was passed to her lips, the aroma of the wine made her unable to stop.

By the time she came to her senses, she had already taken a small sip.

Yes.

They all said it was poisoned wine, and they all knew Fang Shengsheng was really poisonous... but after taking a sip, they... didn't mind taking more...

In the corridor leading to the top floor of Weilanju, Xiang Yi, feeling confused, glanced secretly at the girl on his left.

She discovered something very strange.

The other person's profile is almost perfect. If his lips were a little smaller, then...

Xiang Yi's thoughts suddenly stopped.

She swallowed, her eyes fixed on the bright red, and couldn't help but think of the moment in the carriage that day. Of course, that was not a good experience, after all, it was too scary in front of Manman.

if......

"Eh?"

Xiang Yi, who was daydreaming, suddenly cried out softly.

It turned out that Xia Li suddenly pulled back his arm that was around her, which made all the joy in her heart slip away. She felt empty and she almost couldn't help but hug him back.

Fortunately, I still had my sanity and did not do such a shameful thing.

"Sister, the stairway on the top floor is narrow, so let's not walk side by side."

As he said this, Shengsheng had already gone ahead on his own.

——Isn’t it narrow?

Xiang Yi opened and closed his lips, but ultimately did not say these words.

Although the corridor on the top floor is narrower than that on the first and second floors, it is wide enough for four people to walk side by side. Fang Shengsheng was clearly lying with his eyes open... The other party's hot and cold attitude made Mei Yinhun even more confused. She felt like she was falling into a pool of honey the moment before, but now she felt a little depressed.

After saying "Oh", Xiang Yi followed Xia Li upstairs.

The corridor was quite quiet. One could faintly hear the sound of footsteps on the top floor and the slight sound of a few dishes being gently placed on the table.

At this moment, Xiang Yi suddenly realized.

Her maids were still waiting on the top floor. If the two of them walked up arm in arm, wouldn't it be...

With this thought, Xiang Yi's mood improved. She looked up at Fang Shengsheng in front of her. Perhaps she had a telepathic connection with him, as he turned his head back. The bright candlelight on the top floor shone in from the end of the staircase, making Fang Shengsheng's face look particularly soft in this dim environment.

"Has anyone ever said..."

The girl's sweet voice suddenly swayed like a wind chime.

"...you have an eye for beauty."

“Eyes that discover beauty?”

Xiang Yi was a little confused by this question.

"Well, for example, you find Fang Shengsheng beautiful no matter how you look at her."

Xia Li said seriously.

But she didn't mean to joke at all, instead she was testing the other party further. She wanted to know to what extent she would be exposed in the eyes of such a naturally perceptive target.

This information is particularly important to her...

But Xiang Yi did not notice Sheng Sheng's intentions. Instead, she thought she was just saying something funny, like the way the sisters in the brothel used to flirt with their patrons.

When she thought of this, she felt numb inside.

said angrily.

"Beautiful!"

Although it was anger, it was actually coquettish anger... Even Lu Man had never seen such a coquettish expression from the heart. The momentary charm was beautiful.

It’s a pity that Xia Li was unmoved.

"Vincent?"

The girl smiled indifferently...

"I hope you really think so."

Chapter 40 Human Heart

——Fang Shengsheng looks so beautiful when she smiles.

Xiang Yi didn't think much about the deeper meaning of Xia Li's words. In fact, she was almost bewitched at the moment, especially when the girl looked back and smiled... Although it was just an ordinary smile, it was naturally different in Xiang Yi's eyes.

but.

After reaching the top floor of Weilanju with the presence of a maid, Xiang Yi restrained her obsession a little.

His expression also became much more serious.

The two sat facing each other from north to south, and delicious dishes were served one after another...

Ghosts usually feed on Yin Qi, and as long as they have enough Yin energy, they can survive normally. But ghosts have memories of their previous lives, and once they have tasted delicious food, who can easily forget it?

Therefore.

Ghosts who have the conditions will satisfy their own culinary desires from time to time.

The dishes he eats are not much different from those he ate when he was alive.

For example, the dishes presented at this moment are almost all the famous dishes of Xizhou in Xia Li's memory. The chef hired by Weilanju should have been a master of this profession during his lifetime, and the dishes taste very authentic.

"Sister, [True Red Soup] is the signature dish of Wei Lan Ju. You must drink it while it's hot."

After they had been seated for a while, two waiters came upstairs with two dishes of soup. They walked slowly and looked cautious, as if they were holding something extremely valuable... Xia Li noticed the two waiters as soon as they appeared.

Xiang Yi also explained.

The two of them ate and talked, and Mei Yinhun gradually calmed down and was no longer as confused as before. She called him sister so many times that she naturally got used to it...

Unlike Xia Li, Xiang Yi called her sister sincerely.

It would be best if there was one more word before the word "sister".

Of course, she was just thinking about this. After all, Fang Shengsheng had already said that she loved Manman, so how could she compete with her... No, no! How could she compete with Manman? It was not right or reasonable.

"Really red soup?"

Shengsheng felt a little confused as he stared at the thin layer of soup in the porcelain dish in front of him.

It is red in color and has a mellow taste.

I don't know what raw materials are used to make it...

What delicious food had she not tasted in the Xia family? Not to mention the food from West Province, even the delicacies from East Province were all included. This really red soup was the first time she had heard of it, so it was a bit novel.

"Sister, would you like to try it?"

Xiang Yi knew that she had just come out of Yunyin not long ago and must have never tasted this delicacy, so he began to persuade her to drink.

The smile is full of the flavor of offering treasure.

"it is good."

"Sister, please too..."

Xia Li was indeed curious, so he picked it up and took a sip.

warmth.

It was like drinking a handful of hot spring water after walking for three thousand miles, with the cold wind blowing into my body and my mouth dry. My whole body was immersed in the warm spring water... At the same time, I felt a desire from the bottom of my heart that I couldn't explain.

——More, want more.

This was probably the meaning behind it, and Xia Li couldn't help but sip a little more.

By the time she came to her senses, she had already drunk half of the dish.

at this time.

She found that since she became a ghost, the bone-chilling coldness in her body that she had never been able to dispel was being rapidly diluted by the warm current. This feeling was so wonderful that it reminded her of the feeling of her body when she was still alive.

In a trance...

She is still alive!

"How about it? It's very comfortable."

Unlike Xia Li who was very cautious when tasting it for the first time, Xiang Yi drank up all the soup in the dish in one breath and was now looking at the person opposite with a smile.

Look at her relaxed brows and the faint smile on her lips...

This made Xiang Yibi a hundred times happier after drinking the real red soup.

"Manman loves her sister very much. Today, these two dishes of red soup are of the same quality."

Hear the words.

The girl's heart suddenly skipped a beat, remembering the unprecedented satisfaction and comfort she had just felt. She was about to finish drinking, but suddenly stopped...

"First-class finger...?"

Her voice was a little hoarse because she vaguely thought of something.

"Of course, it is the hearts of human warriors who have reached the first level of cultivation. Their hearts are boiled for seven days and seven nights to make this small dish. I have only tasted the second level before, and the taste is indeed incomparable. This time, Manman..."

Xiang Yi was still blabbering on and on about the introduction.
