"Aunt Wang, are you home?" Aunt Wang's house was very close to hers. It took about five minutes to get there. Ye Xiruo carried a vegetable basket, inside which were freshly baked scallion and egg pancakes.
"Xiaoliu, why are you here? How are you feeling?" Aunt Wang hurriedly pulled Ye Xiruo into the house.
"I'm much better. I just came to see you, Aunt Wang, and get some fresh air."
Aunt Wang's yard was even bigger than her own. There were two vegetable gardens, looking quite magnificent. She also raised a dozen chickens and ducks, a big sow, and two fattening pigs, all of which were kept very clean.
The house was also a big tile-roofed house like her own. According to Aunt Wang, it was built by Brother Tiesheng the year before last. It was the third one in the village and made many people envious. Everyone praised Aunt Wang for having such a good son.
"Aunt Wang, I made some pancakes. Please have a taste."
"I could smell the fragrance from afar. You must have eaten a lot, girl!" Aunt Wang teased.
Ye Xiruo was stunned. Could she really tell? That was amazing!
"Look at your mouth. You didn't even wipe it after eating." Aunt Wang laughed so hard that she could hardly stand.
Ye Xiruo's face turned bright red. She wished she could dig a hole and bury herself.
"The pancakes are great. Xiaoliu, you're so thoughtful."
"Of course. I could never forget Aunt Wang!" Ye Xiruo held Aunt Wang's arm and shook it, not feeling the least bit guilty.
"Are you running out of food?" Aunt Wang used a tone that left no room for doubt.
Ye Xiruo didn't know what to say. It seemed that nothing could be hidden from Aunt Wang.
"Just by looking at how much oil you used, I can tell." The oil here wasn't rapeseed oil. It smelled like a mixture of peanut and sesame oil. When a few drops of hot oil were added to the cold dish, the taste was out of this world.
"Your body has just recovered. Don't worry. Here are ten taels of silver. Take it and use it first." Aunt Wang unhesitatingly placed the silver in Ye Xiruo's palm.
Ye Xiruo's eyes immediately turned red. "Aunt Wang, no need. I have some ideas and want to discuss them with you."
"You're being too formal with me." Aunt Wang rubbed Ye Xiruo's head. "Your mother was Brother Tiesheng's savior. You're like my own daughter. Don't be so polite to your aunt."
"Mother, I'm back." Today was a lucky day. He had hunted a stag and a wild boar.
Ye Xiruo and Aunt Wang walked out together. A strong smell of blood hit them. Standing in front of those huge prey that were as tall as small mountains, Ye Xiruo had an illusion that she was about to be killed, even though the prey were already dead.
"Mother, Xiaoliu, why did you come out?" A simple and honest man with a tall stature walked out from behind the wild boar. His short clothes were full of signs of fighting, and large patches of dried blood revealed a bit of wildness.
"Stinky boy, are you hurt? Is it serious?" Aunt Wang rushed over and looked him up and down several times, still not reassured.
"Mother, don't worry. It's all the wild boar's blood. I'm fine."
"Go clean up. You scared Xiaoliu."
Tiesheng immediately looked at Ye Xiruo with embarrassment. Even the tips of his ears turned red. Ye Xiruo couldn't help but find it a bit funny. Such a boy-next-door type, how could he be related to those lofty immortals?
After a while, Tiesheng, who had cleaned up, walked in. His short hair was still dripping water, his bronze skin glowed with health, and his pitch-black eyes showed a bit of joy. He walked up to Aunt Wang and obediently called out, "Mother."
"Are you hungry? Have some pancakes first and taste Xiaoluo's cooking."
Tiesheng took the pancakes and ate them heartily. Soon, the whole basket of pancakes was gone, and he still looked like he wanted more.
Ye Xiruo was stunned. Were all cultivators foodies? That basket of pancakes was enough for her to eat for a day!
"Thank you, Xiaoluo. The pancakes are delicious. I couldn't help it." The tips of his ears turned red again. Ye Xiruo couldn't help but want to touch them.
"They're not rare things. I'll make more if you want."
"Okay, Tiesheng, take Xiaoluo for a walk around. I'll go prepare dinner."
Ye Xiruo naturally wouldn't refuse. She was just about to ask Tiesheng about the situation in Luoxia Valley and about cultivation.
"Mother, don't worry. I'll take good care of Xiaoluo."
Ye Xiruo and Tiesheng walked slowly in the small forest behind Aunt Wang's house. Without looking, Ye Xiruo knew that the tips of Tiesheng's ears must be red. She narrowed her eyes like a little fox.
"Tiesheng, when are you going back?"
"The sect has sent news that there seems to be something new happening in the back mountain. Maybe other disciples will be sent over. I can stay a few more days."
"Yeah, Aunt Wang misses you a lot."
"Xiaoluo, do you want to cultivate?" Tiesheng suddenly stopped walking and looked at Ye Xiruo seriously, which made her pause. What a sudden turn!
"I, I don't know. Not everyone can cultivate, right?" The reason she could cultivate was probably because of the system. This fool didn't even know that it was precisely because of her special physique and talent that she had been targeted by the system.
"Cultivation is hard and dangerous, but at least it can protect you from being bullied by those people." When he first came back and heard that Xiaoluo had almost died after rolling down the back mountain, Tiesheng wondered if he should let Xiaoluo cultivate too.
"Can you tell me about your life in the sect?"
"I'm just an outer disciple of Luoxia Valley. If I can't break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining within five years, I'll never be able to enter the inner gate. I heard that above the inner gate, there are elite disciples. Above the elite, there are the direct disciples of the sect leader and the elders. Luoxia Valley is only a yellow-level power. Even the direct disciples in the sect don't stand out much on the entire continent. Except for one person — Xiu Qiyu. It's said that he is the direct descendant of a certain big family. Because of family disputes, he was secretly harmed when he was young, and his talent was mostly destroyed. In the end, he was sent to Luoxia Valley for recuperation.
It's said that he has peerless beauty;
It's said that he has heaven-defying strength;
It's said that even the sect leader is no match for him.
Ye Xiruo broke out in a cold sweat. "She must be an extremely beautiful woman."
Tiesheng looked at her helplessly. "He's a man who looks even more beautiful than a woman. Anyone who has commented on his appearance has been punished severely."
Oh no, Tiesheng was clearly showing signs of being a die-hard fan: "Have you seen this eldest senior brother?"
"Two years ago, when the eldest senior brother returned to the valley, I caught a glimpse of him from afar. His posture, his bearing, his strength. I believe that few people on the entire Taiyan Continent can match him."
Ye Xiruo didn't take it seriously. There couldn't be such a perfect person in the world. Rumors spread like wildfire. Maybe this eldest senior brother was like Wu Dalang. Maybe he used some illusion or charm techniques to make these people so devoted to him.
At this moment, Ye Xiruo didn't know that her fate would be closely intertwined with this so-called "Wu Dalang".夜昔若和王婶聊了些什么?第九章中夜昔若的身体状况如何?第十章的剧情会是什么?翻译图像生成帮我写作AI 阅读AI 搜索学术搜索解题答疑更多
