Chapter 23 Undercover He Has Harmful Means
Recalling what Ling Chen said before, if you have time, you can stroll around this area, misleading Yuan Zhiqing, Xia Xiyue fell down confidently - even if you don't soak in the water, you will be in a much better mood than before if you get close to the strong water vapor.
Of course, this time, instead of going to the lake full of scary dumb fish, she came to the riverside.
After taking a breath of the clear air, looked down at the water, just in time to see a school of fish swimming past the surface of the river.
Seeing the fish, Xia Xiyue couldn't help thinking of the last time she was by the lake, and then thought of Yuan Zhiqing: Logically speaking, this person should be very busy. Apart from the affairs of the sect in the mountains, he seems to also take care of the affairs of the demon clan.Free to hang out here.
As soon as the thought came to her mind, the tip of Xia Xiyue's nose moved slightly, and she faintly smelled a fragrance.
She was a little puzzled when a voice suddenly came from behind: "Do you want a plate?"
"!" Xia Xiyue was startled and turned around quickly.At the same time, the long sword on the side of the waist also instinctively popped out, the blade turned backwards, carrying the surrounding water vapor, and stabbing at the sound source that was too close.
With a clang, the tip of the blue sword collided with another sword.Holding the hilt of the sword, Xia Xiyue frowned, and saw half a meter behind her, Yuan Zhiqing held the scabbard in one hand, and pressed against the blade she thrust out.And the other hand...
Even holding a plate of steaming squirrel fish.
Xia Xiyue's eyes silently fell on the delicious fish, and suddenly remembered the words Yuan Zhiqing said during the last encounter, "She makes fish, he makes cooking skills".
I don't know whether it was intentional or not, when a gust of wind blew past, Xia Xiyue clearly smelled the fragrance of fish, and the sword in her hand couldn't help but loosen a little.
"..." The taste seems to be quite good, not as fishy as she imagined.
Xia Xiyue couldn't help but take a second look.
Then found out with emotion that this fish was a bit ugly when it was alive, but when it was really cooked, it changed suddenly and looked extremely attractive.Yuan Zhiqing's knife skills are obviously very good. The squirrel flower knife is extremely delicate. The fluffy fish meat is uniform in size and distinct. The thick sauce is poured on it, and every gap is filled with the sweet and sour sauce.With just a quick glance, Xia Xiyue seemed to have already tasted the tender and crispy taste.
Squirrelfish are tempting.
But when her eyes inadvertently glanced at the hand holding the fish, Xia Xiyue seemed to be poured head-on by a basin of cold water, she swallowed for an instant, and regained her senses.
She withdrew her sword, glanced at Yuan Zhiqing, her expression was calm, but she couldn't help muttering in her heart: This guy actually appeared again, maybe he really planned to use her as a breakthrough.It seems that the next time you go to find Nan Xian, you have to be more careful.
...
Next to her, Yuan Zhiqing saw her withdraw her hand, and also put down the unsheathed sword.
He looked at Xia Xiyue who ignored her.With the foreshadowing of the last time, I am very used to her attitude now.
Yuan Zhiqing found the topic without embarrassment: "There are a lot of silver spines in this river. I heard that they are distant relatives of the last Wenhuangyu.Itโs a must. Itโs just that they also like to live under the boulders in the river, and if the water flow is slightly wrong, they will hide and go away, making it difficult to catch.โ
He finished the popular science in a friendly tone, and glanced at the river.
He didn't see any fish floating up, nor did he see that Xia Xiyue had any intention of catching fish. A trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes: Could it be that the last time the fish gathered around Xia Xiyue was just a coincidence?
However, although there is no fish, Yuan Zhiqing seems to have gained something else.
He fell on Xia Xiyue from the corner of his eye, and secretly recalled the previous events: just now Xia Xiyue was standing by the river and was distracted. He was startled by him.opened a corner.
Although it was only for a short moment, Yuan Zhiqing had excellent eyesight.He always felt that something was wrong - there seemed to be something strange on Xia Xiyue's neck.
...
Beside, it seems that he has been watching for a long time.Xia Xiyue fiddled with the white gauze hat uncomfortably, letting it cover it long, then turned her head and looked at this side.
Yuan Zhiqing didn't look at her all the time, but when he noticed that she was looking at him, he quickly showed a gentle smile, and passed the plate of fish in his hand forward.
Today he really didn't squat on purpose, but met Xia Xiyue by chance.
The fish is cooked fresh in the morning: the time limit for storing living things in the space is almost here, but there are still three fish that cannot be eaten.Yuan Zhiqing simply made them into three flavors and temporarily stored them in the space, planning to have one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening.Unexpectedly, when came here, happened to meet Xia Xiyue who came to the river.
Yuan Zhiqing then thought to himself: This is not far from the lake last time, but this medicine peak peak owner actually appeared here twice in a row, distracted by the water.It seems that there may really be some problems in this area.
For example... Could it be that the entrance to the crypt is actually in the water?โโUsing the opposite attribute to hide the truth is very similar to what this group of troublesome cultivators can do.
Thinking of this, Yuan Zhiqing remembered the excuse he had left when he met Xia Xiyue last time, so he picked a fish and brought it over, intending to go through the motions.
Anyway, judging from what happened last time, Xia Xiyue doesn't like fish.In this way, when she refuses, I can ask her why she always comes to the lake and river since she doesn't catch fish.Then try to deduce some information from Xia Xiyue's reaction.
The plan is silky smooth.
However, Yuan Zhiqing handed out the fish, and in the next second, Xia Xiyue stretched out her hand, her slender fingers restrainedly picked up the bamboo stick he had inserted for the fish, then she turned her head and lifted the veil, and took a bite.
After a pause, he turned his back again and continued to take several mouthfuls.
Yuan Zhiqing, who found that the plan had collapsed from the first step, looked at her with a much lighter plate, and was slightly stunned: "...?"
...
Xia Xiyue gnawed at the fish with peace of mind.
Although don't know why a fish was inexplicably rolled up when the water polo was gathered, but in short, this fish was taken by Yuan Zhiqing from her hand, and it is her fish if it is rounded up. It is okay to eat half of it.
Of course, Xia Xiyue emphasized in her heart: this is not because she is greedy for other people's fish, but because if she doesn't eat it, if Yuan Zhiqing keeps using this as an excuse to pester her to give it away, and even becomes a follower, things will be more troublesome.
It's better to eat this reason directly.Of the two of them, one fishes and the other contributes, and after the spoils are divided, they break up.
Behind him, Yuan Zhiqing looked at her silently, feeling a little complicated for a moment: she actually ate it, she was too unsuspecting.
But think about it, he is "Ling Chen's personal disciple" after all, no matter how you look at it, he is a good person on Immortal Mountain.Moreover, Master Yaofeng is proficient in pharmacology, and her spiritual roots are relatively resistant to poisons. It is indeed difficult for ordinary poisons to take effect on her.
"Ordinary" poison...
Yuan Zhiqing's eyes moved slightly, thoughtfully.
...
Next to her, Xia Xiyue vaguely felt a chill down her spine, as if she had been missed by something terrible.
She didn't care: what else could be missed?โโYou can guess without thinking too much, it must be the monster Yuan Zhiqing.
Speaking of which, in the future, when Nan Xian's magic skills are successful and break out of the ground, Ling Chen will not be able to leave. She may still have to stop Yuan Zhiqing like the world line before the reset, to prevent him from taking away the Sanfuhuo in advance..
Xia Xiyue: "..." I don't know if I will be stabbed to death by a sword, or like in the last life, because I ruined Yuan Zhiqing's good deed, I will be arrested and used as a sandbag in Demon Sect to vent my anger.
It wouldn't be a bad thing if they could always have this level of food when they were in the Demon Race.
However, it is a pity, if you think about it, you will know that the captives may not have this kind of treatment, and it is even more impossible for the young suzerain of the Demon Sect to cook in person - rationally speaking, it would be more appropriate for Yuan Zhiqing to throw the naked fish bones to her.His bad character.
Xia Xiyue couldn't help but rummaged through the memories of her body, looking for the memories of the time in the Demon Sect.
Then he found out with heartache that, let alone fish bones, "Xia Xiyue" had never even seen a meal of severed heads, and went straight on the road.
...
The memories that come with the body are mostly from the first perspective.
Xia Xiyue looked at it, and quickly lost the mood to eat fish.She couldn't help turning her head, and looked at Yuan Zhiqing who looked like a boy next to her through the gauze.
Then he realized very clearly that that gentle smiling face, no matter how friendly it looked, couldn't hide the danger inside anyway.
Xia Xiyue: Huh?and many more.Speaking of which, this guy will not take the opportunity to poison the fish, and then directly arrest her for torture.
Looking at the fish in her hand, she froze slightly when she remembered how shameless the demon cultivator was.
Yuan Zhiqing was keenly aware of her strangeness, and raised his brows and eyes indistinctly: finally reacted?
Just as she was thinking, Xia Xiyue paused for a moment, then quickly raised her hand as if nothing had happened, and continued to chew.
Yuan Zhiqing: "..."
Xia Xiyue didn't see the change in Yuan Zhiqing's expression, and she didn't care: anyway, with the information given by the body, she knew exactly what kind of guy was standing next to her, so she didn't need to observe more.
But because of this, after the flashback just now, Xia Xiyue denied this guess: Yuan Zhiqing's way of handling things is sometimes really simple and rude, with the consistent style of Demon Sect.
But on the other hand, this guy is undercover after all.Now that the great cause has not been accomplished, he will always restrain himself a little-for example, this time, the sky is bright in broad daylight, and Yuan Zhiqing doesn't know if she has made an appointment with someone else to meet here, and the two of them met once in the vicinity before, so exposedHe shouldn't do his own stupid things.
Xia Xiyue was relieved.
In fact, she only took half a fish just now, and it didn't include the tail and head, only the body, and she ate it up quickly.
Xia Xiyue twirled a trick, washed the bamboo sticks and put them back on the side of the plate, and handed over a bottle of elixir as meal expenses.
Then learned the common behaviors of boss, and then left.
...
The flying sword carried Xia Xiyue away quickly.
Yuan Zhiqing looked at her back, then at the porcelain vase in his hand, fell silent for a moment, and then smiled complicatedly.
The spiritual root monk of the water and earth system gave him the fire spiritual root who is best at alchemy.It's quite a heartless return gift.
... Just like the attitude of the Peak Lord of Medicine Peak towards him.
