I am a villain and have been captured. Why are the fairies asking me to come out?

Yan Mobai sighed: "Eat first if you are hungry."

The girl looked at him gratefully, then lowered her eyes and said, "Ha~"

The bird meat disappeared in the girl's mouth in an instant, and her white and tender cheeks bulged, probably because the delicious food satisfied her taste buds. Her eyes narrowed into slits comfortably, just like furry little animals like cats and foxes who feel comfortable when their fur is touched by their owners.

Seeing how contentedly she ate, Yan Mobai couldn't help but become curious about the taste of the spirit bird.

Is it so delicious...

He picked up the chopsticks.

Although the bird skin looks intact and tough, a piece of it can be easily torn off by the chopsticks. It bounces in the air with its gelatinous elasticity. The bird meat is stewed until it is soft and glutinous, half wrapped in the bird skin, with strands of fibers dripping with sugar-brown soup.

As soon as he put the sparrow meat into his mouth, the fresh and rich soup stirred up waves on his taste buds. The wonderful taste made him start chewing involuntarily. The sparrow skin bounced slightly between his teeth. It was not only sticky, elastic, and tough like fish maw, but also not sticky at all. The sparrow meat was even more soft and smooth, and melted on the tongue after a little chewing.

Before he could savor it for long, he saw from the corner of his eye that half of the spirit bird had become an empty skeleton.

Yan Mobai was stunned for a moment, and his eyes subconsciously turned to the girl next to him. He saw that the sparrow meat soaked in soup was piled up like a small mountain in her bowl, and a lot of it was stuffed in her mouth, with her cheeks bulging like a hamster.

This guy……

He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, took out a plate of white rice from the package, scooped some soup and mixed it with the rice and started eating.

Since she likes it so much, leave some more for her... She is about to form an elixir, so eating more spirit bird meat for nourishment is a good thing.

Compared to elixirs and spiritual herbs, the meat of spiritual birds is easier to absorb and more delicious after all... Yan Mobai unconsciously thought of his days in the Demon Sect. If the chefs there were more skilled, he probably wouldn't have fallen to the point of using chalcedony to practice every day.

This time, it was the girl who had monopolized the spiritual bird who felt guilty. She stared at the large bird leg on the chopsticks in confusion, and finally put it quietly on the leader's plate.

She murmured softly: "Master, please eat some too..."

Chapter 173: Blade Spirit Complains

A half-human-sized spiritual bird was eaten up in no time, without even a drop of soup left. All of it mixed with spiritual grain rice went into the stomachs of the two men.

No matter how big the girl's appetite was, she was too full to speak. "Hmm..." She covered her slightly bulging belly, lay softly on the table, her face flattened on the table, her light purple eyes slightly blurred.

If only there was some sugar water to drink...

As she was thinking this, the girl suddenly noticed that the leader had set off a fire in the yard.

There was a pot of clear water boiling on the fire, and white mist gradually rose as it boiled.

"Master...?"

She couldn't figure out what the leader was doing.

The girl looked at the leader in confusion as he took out a small package from his arms, and then took out many green leaves from the package, put them into boiling water, and stirred them with a long spoon.

Not long after, he came into the room carrying two small cups.

The teacup was placed crisply on the table, the light green liquid surface swaying gently, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

"I picked some seven fairy flower leaves on the road earlier. Now I feel thirsty after dinner, so I just want to make some tea."

Seeing the confusion in Li Yuluo's eyes, Yan Mobai added: "Drinking the water boiled with the leaves of the Seven Fairy Flower can refresh your mind and replenish your wisdom. There are still many catalogs to be screened later, so drinking some tea can help you feel more energetic."

As he spoke, he pushed a cup of tea over.

The girl looked at the tea in the cup suspiciously. She still remembered clearly the dishes that the leader had cooked before. The wonderful taste seemed to be able to dilute all the bitterness she had experienced in her life.

Compared to the dishes cooked by the leader, no matter how bitter the suffering is, it is nothing.

It's not cooking, it's just making tea, it should be fine... She muttered to herself, and slowly held up the hot teacup with her small hands. She carefully looked at the tea with her big light purple eyes to see if there was any foreign matter. She lowered her head and sniffed the tea. After repeatedly confirming that she didn't smell any strange smell, she took a sip with confidence.

Seeing that she looked as if facing a great enemy, Yan Mobai shook his head helplessly.

He was well aware of his cooking skills, but tea art and cooking are two completely different paths. As long as the tea leaves themselves are not bad, the tea brewed from them will not be too bad.

"Although I have never learned the art of tea making, I have watched my apprentices brew tea for many years and have learned a little bit from them. In terms of the level of tea brewing, I think I am still good enough."

After that, he asked the girl, "How does it taste?"

But the girl had put down her teacup at some point, bent down, and coughed continuously, as if she wanted to spit out all the tea she had drunk.

After retching for a long time, she raised her head with tears in her eyes and half-lolled out her tongue, "It's so bitter..."

Yan Mobai was stunned for a moment, then he picked up his cup of tea and took a sip in disbelief.

The process of brewing tea is quite particular. If the brewing time is too short, the tea flavor will be lost, and if the brewing time is too long, the tea fragrance will be lost. Only by grasping the right timing can the fragrance and taste of the tea be just right. Therefore, he specially controlled the heat to keep the fragrance and taste of the tea at their peak.

This is what Ruoli did in the past...

When the bitterness that was much stronger than that of Coptis chinensis spread to the root of his tongue, he realized that he had missed some necessary steps.

Unlike ordinary tea, the leaves of the Seven Fairy Flower will become bitter when exposed to heat. They need to be boiled at low temperature for a long time, or mixed with a large amount of honey before they can be consumed.

He only remembered the steps and temperature of brewing tea, but forgot to consider the characteristics of the tea itself.

"Well... I'll go make another pot."

He was just about to get up and go to the yard to boil water, but the corner of his clothes was tightly grasped by the girl's small hand.

"I...I'm energetic even without drinking tea..." Li Yulo looked at him pitifully, his voice trembling a little.

She was really scared, afraid that the leader's next pot of tea would cause some trouble and send her away peacefully.

Yan Mobai stared at the remaining tea in the cup, suddenly chuckled, and rubbed the girl's head.

"Then don't cook it."

……

The two of them sat on the sunny porch, spread a blanket on the ground, set up a table on the blanket, and placed a few plates of snacks they brought with lunch on the table. They basked in the warm sunlight while continuing the unfinished work.

The girl sat beside him, holding a jade slip and reading it, her silky black hair draped all over the ground, her skirt as light as snow, her small feet wrapped in white silk stockings dangling on Yan Mo's white legs, so slender and cute that one would want to hold and play with them.

Fortunately, Yan Mobai had already savored it countless times at night, so he didn't need to waste any time here. He was able to remain calm and focus all his energy on the contents of the jade slip.

After spending nearly half an hour reading a jade slip and rubbing his sore temples, Yan Mobai finally understood why Li Yulo fell asleep in the morning.

Unlike normal classics, most of these medical skills catalogs have no substantial content. Apart from various terminologies, there are only brief summaries of the contents. Thousands of items are gathered in the same jade slip, and the meaning of some words is even difficult to understand, and needs to be speculated in conjunction with other content.

Trying to filter out useful content from the directory is like trying to separate two piles of mixed sand of different colors. Not only is the process boring, but the densely packed entries can also make people dizzy.

Even though Yan Mobai was usually patient, he was still feeling overwhelmed after half an hour.

He glanced at the girl next to him and saw that her light purple eyes were wide open, unblinking, as if if she relaxed even a little, she would fall asleep out of boredom without realizing it.

It’s really hard for her... Yan Mobai sighed.

He knew this guy's personality. On the surface, he looked quiet and weak, but in fact, he was more active than anyone else. He was definitely not someone who could concentrate on research.

But these catalogs have to be screened after all. Otherwise, faced with the vast ocean of medical classics, I am afraid that the two of them will not be able to finish reading them one by one even if they sit there for years.

Just at this moment, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the gate from outside.

嘘嘚嘚.

"Master...I'll go take a look!"

Without waiting for Yan Mobai to say anything, Li Yulo put down the jade slip as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, "Huwa~" she stretched lazily with tears in her eyes, stood up, put on her clogs and walked towards the courtyard gate.

When she opened the door, there was no one in front of her.

"Strange..." She held the door edge and looked around, but couldn't find the person who knocked on the door.

This is the heartland of Yaoguang, with strict restrictions, so there shouldn't be any ghosts here...

Li Yulo felt a little nervous. Just as he was about to close the door and explain the situation to the leader, he suddenly heard a rustling sound in the bushes below.

"Who?!"

The girl took two steps back in shock, and immortal energy quickly surged out of her sea of ​​energy, forming a translucent barrier around her.

She thought she would see some horrible sight, but she saw a small knife spirit barely the size of a palm sitting on the sealed knife, staring up at her with wide amber eyes.

Because she was so small, she was able to hide in the grass beside the door, with only half of her head showing. Anyone who heard someone knocking on the door would not look at their feet, so she was ignored by the girl.

"How dare you pretend not to see me..." Yi Niaoniao was holding a flower spike that was taller than her, feeling angry and aggrieved.

She originally came to help her master, but...

As she walked along, Xiao Daoling saw that her flower garden had been torn to pieces, and even her most precious Seven Fairy Flowers had their leaves plucked out. She felt so distressed that she was about to cry.

There is no doubt that there must be some little vixen running wild in there, and when it sees a pretty flower, it happily picks it.

Picking flowers is fine, but what's the point of picking leaves? The seven fairy flowers, which were originally fairy-like with yellow flowers and green leaves, are now bare, like a white radish with its leaves peeled off.

Yi Niaoniao was so angry that she plucked the unique Seven Fairy Flower as evidence and went to find the little vixen to hold her accountable.

But when she knocked on the door, she saw the girl looking left and right, and refused to lower her head to look at her. In the end, she even wanted to close the door and refuse her the invitation.

"Bad...bad vixen!!" The little knife spirit became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She waved the flower spike, which was bigger than her, in a rage and powerless manner. "I'm so pissed off!"

Although she looked very angry, this cute look made it impossible for people to feel the slightest fear of her. Instead, it calmed Li Yulo's panic. Looking at the little guy's angry look, the girl's pink lips curved into a silent smile. She squatted down and touched Xiao Daoling's head with her soft fingertips.

"Sister Yi, don't be angry. You'll make yourself stupid."

"Don't touch my head!" The little knife spirit glared at her, "Hurry up and let this master go to see the master!"

When the girl brought Yi Niaoniao to the leader, the little thing could no longer hold back the grievance in her heart. There was more and more mist in her big eyes, her nose twitched, and finally she burst into tears.

"Master... wuwu... the little vixen has messed up Niao Niao's flower garden..."

The little knife spirit sobbed aggrievedly, as if she wanted to prove to her master that what she said was not groundless. She held up the flower spike taller than her while crying, "Niao Niao's favorite... wuuu... Seven Fairy Flowers... wuuuu... was also... made bald by the little fox... wuuuu..."

In her misty tearful reflection, Yan Mobai nodded slightly, picked up the tea beside him and took a sip.

Author's words: I must make my dream come true tomorrow!!

Chapter 174: Important Discovery

The little knife spirit cried and complained to Yan Mobai, telling him how much she treasured the flowers and plants on the roadside, especially the fairy-like Seven Fairy Flower.

"I watered it with chalcedony every day, and stole precious soil from the Li Family Mountain next door to fertilize it. It took me a long time to grow it, and I didn't read many novels, before I finally got it to bloom..."

The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt. She curled up into a limp ball on her master's body, wiping her tears with her little hands, looking heartbroken.

It turns out that Sister Yi cherishes those flowers so much. The wild flowers on Yuheng Mountain can be picked at will...

Li Yulo fiddled with his fingers guiltily, wondering how he should apologize to the little knife spirit, while stealing a glance at the light green liquid in the leader's cup.

Seeing him drink the tea brewed with the leaves of the Seven Fairy Flower without changing his expression, the girl's admiration for him increased even more.

Even the bitter master can drink it, it's amazing...

The crying little knife spirit hanging on Yan Mo's white robe also smelled the fragrance of the tea and raised its head while sobbing.

"Master... wuuuu... what is the master drinking..."

Yan Mobai stroked Xiao Daoling's smooth black hair with his fingers and replied softly, "Yan picked some tea on the way and made some tea when he came back."

As he spoke, he sighed, "It's been a long time since I tasted such a heavenly tea. It tastes elegant yet rich, and the tea aroma lingers for a long time. Would you like to have a sip, Master?"

"Woo..." The little knife spirit sobbed and nodded her head.

Although she always felt that the scent of tea was very familiar, as if she had smelled it many times before, it was rare for the host to give her tea, so Yi Niao had no extra thoughts to think about anything else.

The teacup was placed in front of her. The light green tea swayed gently in the white jade porcelain cup, reflecting her tearful face.

The master actually handed over the tea he brewed personally... Xiao Daoling was flattered.

All the previous grievances were now completely washed away by the feeling of happiness.

She wiped the tears from her face, slowly stopped crying, and picked up the huge teacup, "Thank you, Master..." She looked at Yan Mobai with her big amber eyes, full of gratitude.

"Hmm..." Yi Niaoniao held the rim of the cup, slowly lifted the teacup, and poured the tea into her mouth with difficulty.

"how is the taste?"

Yan Mobai looked at her blushing face solemnly.

He had no intention of bullying this silly little knife spirit, and had already added some sugar flowers into the teacup. Although it couldn't completely alleviate the bitterness, at least it was edible.

Seeing that Yi Niaoniao's expression didn't change much, he unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that my tea art is not hopeless...

"I am ashamed to say that the tea in my cup is exactly the Seven Fairy Flower Leaves that the Sect Leader mentioned. I didn't know it was planted by the Sect Leader himself before. I thought it was born from the spiritual power gathered by Yaoguang Fairy Mountain. Medical books are always complicated. I was worried that I would be exhausted and unable to perform my best, so I picked some to make tea to refresh myself, but I accidentally damaged the Sect Leader's beloved thing..."

Hearing Yan Mobai's words, Xiao Dao Ling, who was sipping tea, suddenly widened her eyes, "Qixianhua..." She stared stupidly at the light green tea in the teacup. The few broken leaves floating on the tea were emerald green and juicy, gradually overlapping with the fairy-like and beautiful Qixianhua in her memory.

"Seven Fairy Flowers... oooo... my Seven Fairy Flowers..."
