Chapter 542: A Bit Busy Tonight
Chapter 542: A Bit Busy Tonight
Do not……
Don’t tell me!?
Ye Xi's eyes trembled. Seeing Zhao Qing's smug look, she felt that this man walking in blood-stained clothes... seemed to have suddenly become a different person.
It became more relaxed and comfortable, and even had a bit of the mischievousness that is unique to teenagers.
She frowned slightly with a strange look on her face and glared back at him unhappily: "Then I'll go find it myself!"
After she finished speaking, the girl twisted her slender waist, stepped lightly on the spiritual feathers and rose up, disappearing into the vast snowy night.
……
The cold wind rustles and snow falls in the lonely city.
Shuyue walked in the wind with her eyes slightly narrowed, but no matter how wildly her black hair fluttered, she could not hide her excitement at the moment.
"Will she go specifically to Miao Jian to ask for advice?"
Zhao Qing's expression was full of amusement. He pondered and chuckled, "Probably not."
"Even if I ask, I won't get an answer. It's a waste of time."
How could Miao Jian tell Ye Xi about his life story?
Even I couldn't hear anything from him...only a few words he said when he was drunk, and he wouldn't say them around anymore.
"But then again..."
Ning Mei laughed cheerfully, but suddenly thought of something and changed the subject, "Let's go to Nanjia Territory, shall we? Siyu told me there's a small secret place called Mirror Lake over there, where it's extremely peaceful and tranquil on snowy nights."
Zhao Qing agreed with a smile.
Ever since Ningmei came into our family, it was basically Ningmei's idea where to go out for fun and where to go for a walk.
So much so that my aunt always mentioned about traveling together in the past, to places like Wuya Peak and Lava Valley, but now she doesn't mention it anymore... because now when the family has free time, they travel around to enjoy the mountains and rivers.
He casually took out the apricot-yellow boat, took Shuyue in his arms and was the first to step on it.
Qinghuan followed closely on the wind, Xiaoyi and Sihe also came up with smiles on their faces, leaving Ningmei behind with her flying sleeves shaking off the snow, floating lightly over.
……
The wind whistles in my ears, and the world is cold and dark.
The apricot-yellow boat flew across the sky and disappeared into the night. It was just an insignificant ray of light in the Tianxiang City.
The boat is made of sacred wood painted with apricot lacquer, has railings carved with delicate silver wire, and also has a quiet and warm pavilion.
But the pavilion was too small to easily accommodate the six of them.
The family sat comfortably at the front of the spirit boat, enjoying the brief period of calm and snow in Tianxiang City.
This is the same little boat that Ning Mei gave to Zhao Qing back then.
Worth a fortune.
In the State of Chu, it is worth tens of thousands of spirit stones.
However, at that time, Ningmei had just entered the foundation-building stage not long ago, and Zhao Qing's cultivation could not catch up with Ningmei, so he was living a leisurely life as a rich man in Songshanfang.
The various restrictions on the small boat are far inferior to those on the Walking Immortal Boat and the Blood Jade Boat.
But he had been to Ruyi Realm, Songshan, Chudu, Xiuyuan Yaoshan, and Mingshang Yinxingchuan...
However, the walking fairy boat now stays in the Shajin Secret Realm, floating up and down. It is also the fairy palace where everyone holds meetings, and the last backbone of the four domains and nineteen secret realms.
"This handrail is a little faded. It's time to replace it with a new one." Shuyue casually tied her hair into a bun and glanced at it with her bright eyes while chatting.
My aunt lifted her chin with ease and said with a lazy smile, "That depends on whether my husband wants to replace Xing Zhou or Ning Er..."
cough cough.
Zhao Qing seemed to be considering this as well. He moved closer to Si He and carefully suggested, "What do you think, Master?"
Teasing Ningmei is a very common thing at home.
She bullies Qinghuan during sex and teases Ning'er on weekdays. Shuyue has long lost the Aokiji she once was. She has become a bad person under the influence of her aunt over the years.
Of course, Si He liked Ning Mei so much that it was impossible for her to join in the fun. At this moment, hesitation flashed across her beautiful eyes, and she said to Zhao Qing with a lazy smile, "I'm considering whether to replace you."
Zhao Qing was naturally fearless. He lay back and was supported by a warm jade hand. A certain smiling and silent little medicine slave snuggled up with his master...
"How can it fade? That's the original color of Yinzhu..."
Ningmei gave Shuyue a slight look, but after a careful glance, she turned her attention to her aunt: "Xiaoyi wiped it off!"
My aunt's beautiful eyes immediately narrowed, and then she showed a helpless smile.
This is absolutely true. Even the Yinzhu on the spirit boat has faded... Only my aunt, a germaphobe, can do such a thing.
Hong Ning relaxedly lay on the apricot boat, took the boat's control jade talisman from Zhao Qing, and casually speculated, "Could the Fang family's previous pressure really be related to Miao Jian?"
"Maybe it's related. At least it's getting much better now."
“But I don’t know… whether it’s because those ancient clans and immortal sects saw the price, or because Miao Jian went to live in seclusion on the edge of Nanjia.”
Zhao Qing smiled helplessly, no one could figure it out.
For a long time, he almost avoided Miao Jian. Even when Ning Mei invited him to Li Country, he refused outright.
Until now, he has become a Blood-Clothed Walking Person, possessing the authority and luck protection that only belongs to walking persons. Recently, everything has been going well for him, and he knows everything about Miao Jian, so he can relax a little.
After all, luck is something that no one can explain clearly, you can only feel it for yourself.
Si He casually played with an ink-wash ring, staring intently and whispering, "If we strip away all cause and effect..."
"Miao Jian was originally in Nanjia Territory, but we abandoned Nanjia Territory and entered the Shajin Secret Realm."
"Miao Jian also followed us to the Sand Gold Secret Realm, and then we encountered a powerful enemy, and nearly half of our men were killed."
"Now that Miao Jian has returned to Nanjia Territory, at least things are calm for now."
Zhao Qing: ...
As he listened to Si He's analysis, he always had a strange sense of déjà vu.
After all, when he and his aunt Shuyue were compiling the story of Miao Jian, they were discussing Miao Jian's actions and the changes in Shouyun Mountain.
And now the gods living in seclusion on Shouyun Mountain have also begun to ponder the Miao Sword...
It's really fucking outrageous.
However, luck is unique to the Blood Robe, and Miao Jian lacks it. In the world of Yujing, only Qingying can do it.
They no longer care about these things, and now it is just casual gossip.
Shu Yue pondered secretly in her heart, her eyes lit up with curiosity: "If my husband was not here, we would most likely be destroyed by the Fang family."
"Could it be that... my husband's walking luck and the consequences brought about by the Miao Sword cancel each other out?"
Zhao Qing: ???
Good guy.
It's just a blind guess... No matter what, as long as it's related, it's fine.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems to make some sense.
He looked up at his aunt's playful smile and couldn't help but start to come up with bad ideas: "How can we get the Miao Sword to Xia Yuchan? Why don't we try it and find out?"
Ning Mei's expression froze for a moment. She looked at Zhao Qing with surprise, her eyes shimmering with laughter as she sarcastically said, "Isn't Miao Jian an old friend of yours? How could he harm him like this?"
"I vaguely remember our early journey together. When we were traveling with the two of you to Shouyun Mountain, you mentioned Miao Jian..."
Seeing Ning Mei joking like this, Zhao Qing couldn't help but fall into a brief silence.
It’s because Brother Jian is my old friend that I want to give him to someone else... It’s reasonable for a friend to stick up for me.
My aunt frowned as she pondered, "According to the rules of Tianxiang City, there is no such opportunity."
"After all, Miao Jian originally landed in Nanjia Territory to help Si He, and now he can't help others."
Zhao Qing also showed a helpless smile and did not think too much about it.
Even when Tianxiang City had not yet opened, it was not easy for him to discuss these things with Miao Jian.
After all, they are here to help me...
How do I say that?
Jian, I think you're pretty unlucky. Why don't you go and help others? That would also be indirectly helping your brother Qing, right?
……
However, Ning Mei is full of bad intentions.
He had been teasing Zhao Qing just now, but in the blink of an eye, he smiled and suggested, "If there's a chance in the future... we can choose to join forces with others."
"Even if we teamed up with Ye Xi, Ye Xi also lost a lot of people."
"How about we team up with whoever we want to harm next time?"
"Take Miao Jian with you, and then our people should try to avoid him... and stay in different secret realms..."
This idea is a bit bad.
But after hearing this, Shuyue couldn't help but reveal a bit of anticipation in her eyes.
Zhao Qing just watched with a strange smile on his face, and even began to ponder the feasibility of the specific arrangement.
Okay, okay... a strategic killer weapon, right?
Whoever it is given to will be unlucky.
The strategic value brought by Miao Jian's bad luck far exceeds the combat power of him and Shen Su.
……
quickly.
The apricot-yellow boat sailed through the wind and snow, and was steered by Hong Ning into a jade building in the Nanjia area.
Suddenly, the whistling wind in my ears stopped, and the starry night and flying snow disappeared.
All you can see is a dreamy, jade-like clear ice lake, with strands of beautiful ice crystals extending to the bottom of the lake, forming a vast expanse of white.
This secret place is called Mirror Lake. It stretches for only a few dozen miles and has two entrances.
However, due to the thin spiritual energy and shortage of resources, and the fact that it is not conducive to garrisoning and lying dormant, it does not have much value in Tianxiang City.
The guess that my aunt was about to express in her mind was immediately retracted, and her beautiful eyes showed expectation and surprise... reflecting the dreamlike scenery of the icy lake.
"There is an island in the middle of the lake!" Shuyue also stood up and looked into the distance, blurting out.
However, Ning Mei did not fly the flying boat to the center of the lake. Instead, she slowly sank onto the mirror-like icy lake.
The night here is quite dark, but there are dozens of miles of ice reflecting the faint light, as if all the scenes in the world are overlapping and intertwined... quiet and beautiful.
The fresh air makes people feel relaxed and happy, and the magical light reflected by the Mirror Lake is eye-catching.
Zhao Qing naturally held He Ma's jade hand, and the family slowly swam on the ice of the Mirror Lake.
They hadn't come here to seek opportunities... It was rare to have a brief moment of peace in Tianxiang City. The splendor and tranquility at this moment were more than enough to surpass countless inherited treasures.
There seemed to be a deep glimmer in my aunt's beautiful eyes, and her black eyebrows were full of joy.
She looked back at her husband with a slightly teasing look, and as if deliberately provoking him, she took off her boots and walked lightly on the frost with her beautiful bare feet.
The slender ankles and flawless snow-white feet are reflected in the icy lake, and the beauty and playfulness on the woman's jade-like face... It is like a dream and a painting in this quiet and cold night.
Shuyue smiled when she saw this, and her eyes drifted towards her husband, as if asking whether she should also walk barefoot.
Zhao Qing naturally sent out his spiritual sense first and laid a spiritual mark at the entrance of the secret realm.
Then his attention was captured by his aunt, but he was reluctant to let go of Si He's big hand... His wife's smiling look back at him at this moment was even more itchy.
Tsk.
Backache.
Flirting and jollity are common on weekdays.
No one could separate the thoughts from the dangerous and critical situations in the past.
But this Tianxiang City is very special... It is simply the most troublesome situation Zhao Qing has ever encountered in his life.
The special thing is——
The time spent in Tianxiang City was long, but there was no life-or-death crisis.
And I am helping Ningmei to fight for this opportunity, hoping to do my best, so that we can travel here as a family.
Now I have a brief moment of peace and quiet... I am surrounded by a dreamy and quiet ice lake.
So much so that Zhao Qing took one look at Shuyue and recalled the days when his wife asked him for porridge...
The aunt's eyes flickered with a smile. Seeing Zhao Qing and Shuyue looking at each other, she immediately raised her hand and pressed her other arm tightly. Her dark eyebrows knitted slightly, revealing a hint of unbearable pain: "Husband... My sword wound has relapsed."
Zhao Qing:?
He was startled and whispered urgently, "What's going on?!"
As he said that, he let go of Si He's warm jade hand, rushed over without looking back, and put his arms around Xiaoyi's slender waist.
The white-haired woman had a dark look in her eyes, and her words were light and mocking.
It was more like repeating Zhao Qing's previous words: "After a hundred years, how about I propose to the master~"
"You keep calling me your master, but you are actually someone else's dog!"
But my aunt's gentle whisper drowned out all this.
The woman smiled gently, twisted around and gently embraced her husband, whispered in his ear with a chuckle, "My daughter doesn't feel any pain anymore..."
cough cough.
"It's good that it doesn't hurt anymore."
Zhao Qing naturally held his aunt's slender waist tightly, but in his heart he was constantly enduring the insults from his master.
And he also had to care and comfort her: "Master, why are you arguing with Xiaoyi? I'm just trying to comfort her. What if the sword injury really relapses..."
Si He was full of disdain for this: "Don't quibble. I won't allow you to practice dual cultivation anymore. Just listen to her calling you Master Daddy!"
Zhao Qing...
孽 孽!
Life is peaceful and tranquil, why do we have to come to Mirror Lake?
Is the Sand Gold Secret Realm too small? Wouldn't it be nice to just stay in the bedroom?
It's a natural disaster...
Si He didn’t get jealous before, and everything was fine at home.
But now, his master is even trying to snatch his aunt's wedding...
Si He sneered in his heart and whispered: "If you are not satisfied, the master can leave you."
Zhao Qing would naturally not be threatened by this, otherwise what would be his family status?
satisfaction!
I am so satisfied!
"But Xiaoyi is weak after all, so the master should just give in to her... Isn't it obvious that I'm your dog?"
Si He: "I am weak."
Zhao Qing: ...
He smiled at Shuyue Ningmei's teasing look at the moment, and secretly complained: "Qinghuan is the weak one."
"Do not."
"Gu Qinghuan almost stepped on my face."
Si He's cold words were filled with jealousy, but he seemed to think Qing Huan was okay, and added casually, "Shadow."
Zhao Qing:?
He immediately turned around and chuckled: "Qinghuan, come here, you stepped on the master's shadow."
……
There was a lot of noise and laughter at home, but in the end Si He won.
After all, she is different from Aunt Shuyue, she is really jealous...
There is a shallow island in the middle of the lake, and frost crystals are scattered among the dead grass.
The aunt rested her head in her husband's arms, her beautiful legs crossed and her feet swaying as she pondered, whispering, "Although this is an option, we also need to clarify... whether this was really related to Miao Jian."
Zhao Qing nodded seriously, and after a moment of hesitation, he whispered, "I'll go meet Shen Su alone tomorrow, maybe I can understand a lot more."
"uncertain."
Si He raised her beautiful eyes slightly: "For these matters, it is better to ask Xue Yi directly."
She was playing with her aunt's storage ring and took out a seal from it, which was obviously the seal of the emperor of Chu.
There was a mysterious aura flowing on it, and it looked even more magical than before.
"The Chu Seal is closely related to the fate of the Chu State. It would be better to return it to its original owner. Perhaps it can provide some protection."
Si He spoke with confidence, and then casually handed Xiaoyi's imperial seal to Ning Mei, as if in revenge...
Ningmei's eyes were filled with tears as she tried to suppress her smile. After exchanging glances with Shuyue, she temporarily put away the Chu Seal that originally belonged to her.
Zhao Qing also had a communication jade on him that was emitting spiritual energy, indicating that Jiang Yinghan had sent a message.
[Brother Qing, I've returned to Nanding Domain. Where are you?]
where am I?
I'm in the Shura field.
Zhao Qing was silent for a moment. He had originally made an appointment with Jiang Yinghan to discuss whether they could develop some defensive fortifications.
But the current situation...
He sorted out the source, got to the point, and asked doubtfully, "Sister, do you have a cell phone?"
It was obvious that all of this had happened because I had hidden away to play with Qing Huan on my phone...
The aunt rested her head on her husband's arms, raised her head with a smile, and looked at the content of the message with some surprise.
Jiang Yinghan soon received a reply.
"I don't have a cell phone, but I have a tablet, a portable oven, and an astronomical telescope... Do you need any?"
Zhao Qing: ...
also.
But not now, tomorrow morning.
He thought for a moment and then replied: "I'm a bit busy tonight..."
