Yingbao was silent.
Looking at the other person, he asked Xuanwu in his heart: "How did he let me down?"
Xuanwu said indignantly: "He broke his promise and made you work for him for a hundred years without paying you."
Yingbao was curious: "What kind of work?"
"Grow vegetables!" Xuanwu snorted, "And I have to raise a spiritual pet for him!"
"Spirit pet?" Yingbao asked: "What kind of spirit pet?"
Xuanwu said something vaguely, but Yingbao didn't hear it clearly.
At this time, the person on the other side had already spoken: "Yingbao, how are you?"
Yingbao frowned and asked, "Aren't you lame? How did you stand up?"
Xiao Mo said calmly: "You can't be lame forever, you have to stand up eventually."
Wei Zhan cautiously held Ying Bao to his side and frowned, "Xiao Mo, does His Majesty know that you pretended to be lame?"
Xiao Mo's mouth curled up in sarcasm: "How do you know I'm pretending to be lame?"
Wei Zhan: …
"You were sitting in a wheelchair a few days ago, but now you're running around. Are you pretending?"
Xiao Mo chuckled and ignored Wei Zhan. He still looked at Ying Bao but didn't say anything.
Wei Zhan's hair stood on end. He tightly grasped his wife's hand and whispered, "Let's go to the other side."
Yingbao nodded and asked Xuanwu in her heart: "How did he wrong me? What would happen if I killed him now?"
Xuanwu was shocked and stammered, "No way! In fact...it was you who stole his pet first and ran away, so he issued a warrant for your arrest."
Sakura: …
It feels like I have been a thief.
Xuanwu continued, "But he was the one who first imprisoned you in Wangxian Valley for a hundred years, preventing you from seeing your parents and brother. He also forced you to recite the exorcism spell fifty times a day, and every ten days or half a month, he threw you into the holy water for ten hours, drowning you half to death."
Yingbao: It turns out this guy is a pervert who enjoys torturing people.
"But why didn't you tell me before?" I have known Xiao Mo since I was a child, and I have met him in two lifetimes. Why didn't Xuanwu give me any hint
Xuanwu: "I didn't recognize him at that time. He looked very different from that man." And there was no divine light on his body.
"Then how come you recognize it now?"
"Because I saw a flash of divine light on him."
Xuanwu said excitedly: "Yingbao, let's run away quickly, you can't beat him."
Oh my god! It doesn't want to be captured and taken to the immortal palace to be a pillar stone beast for the rest of its life.
Yingbao wanted to ask more questions, but Wei Zhan pulled her along and walked quickly, finally out of the man's sight.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Yingbao, "I don't think there's anything fun here. Let's go somewhere else."
Yingbao also had the same idea, but the boatman had gone out to pan for lotus roots and he probably wouldn't be back for a while.
She picked a large lotus leaf nearby and held it in her hand, and picked another one for Wei Zhan: "We will go back when the boatman comes back."
Wei Zhan nodded, held up the lotus leaf and looked around. He saw two women selling lotus root soup under a pavilion, so he pulled his wife over.
"Give me two bowls of lotus root starch soup." Wei Zhan and Ying Bao sat down and said to the woman selling the starch, "Add more maltose."
The woman was wearing a blue flower-dyed cloth and her head was also wrapped in a blue cloth. She replied, "I'll be right there. Please wait a moment, sir."
The lotus root powder should be prepared freshly, using boiling water on a small charcoal stove, pouring in and stirring at the same time, and it will become thick in a short while.
Then add dried osmanthus flowers and two spoonfuls of icing sugar.
"Sir, please enjoy your meal. It's a little hot." The woman brought two bowls of transparent and thick lotus root starch soup to Wei Zhan and Ying Bao.
Yingbao stirred the spoon to dissipate the heat while asking the woman, "Do you sell lotus root starch here?"
"For sale." The young woman smiled and said, "They are all new powders this year. How many do you want to buy, young lady?"
Yingbao took a bite of the noodle soup and found it sweet and fragrant, without any sour taste. She guessed that the person who made the noodle had put a lot of effort into it.
"If they are all of this quality, I'll buy 20 kilograms."
The woman nodded quickly: "My lotus root starch is all very good, young lady, don't worry."
Yingbao: "Well, go get it and put it directly on the shore next to the Wei family carriage."
The young woman smiled and said, "Okay, when my husband comes, I will ask him to go home and get it immediately."
As he was talking, a man sat down on the stone table next to him and said, "Give me a bowl of noodle soup."
Yingbao tilted her head to look over, and saw Xiao Mo in a white summer cloth robe, his hair tied up with a jade hairpin, his face as white as jade, sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. He sat calmly beside the stone table. His expression and aura seemed different from before, and he really had a bit of the air of a banished immortal.
But since he is an immortal from another place, why is he appearing here
Is he really here to look for his pet
Yingbao turned her gaze back and asked Xuanwu in her heart: "You said I stole his pet, so that pet couldn't be you, right?"
Xuanwu: …
Absolutely cannot admit it!
Ying Bao was puzzled: "This man is an immortal, and he should be considered a local overlord. It's incredible that he came here just for a turtle."
Xuanwu was instantly furious: "I am not a turtle! I am the mythical beast Xuanwu! Humph!"
Yingbao saw that it was angry and tried to explain, but Xuanwu ignored her.
Wei Zhan, who was eating lotus root soup, was a little annoyed when he saw Xiao Mo sitting next to them, but he didn't say it out loud.
After all, they also come to eat noodles, so he can't chase them away.
He was eating lotus root powder angrily, and suddenly he scooped a spoonful and fed it to Yingbao's mouth, and whispered: "My wife, come, have a bite."
Yingbao opened her mouth and ate.
Wei Zhan glanced at Xiao Mo and snorted in his heart.
He is a man, how could he not understand a man's mind.
Xiao Mo looked at his wife with a very strange look, which frightened Wei Zhan so much that he wanted to hide his wife.
Fortunately, Yingbao is already his and will be the mother of his child in the future.
This damn Xiao Mo, get out of here as far away as possible.
At this moment, Yingbao continued to call Xuanwu: "Okay, that was a slip of the tongue. I just expressed my doubts. I didn't mean to look down on the turtle."
Xuanwu was furious: "I'll say it again, I am the divine beast Xuanwu, not a turtle! If you say that word again, I will, I will return the Holy Spirit Water to that person!"
Yingbao was surprised: "I also stole the Holy Spirit Water?" No wonder this man wanted to chase her, did she actually empty his house
Xuanwu retracted his neck guiltily: "Yes! You stole it!"
Fortunately, I took the Holy Spirit Water with me, which allowed my stupid master to stay alive. At that time, even her three souls and seven spirits were scattered, and I only caught her human soul. After countless reincarnations, I finally raised the rest of her soul.
After hearing what Xuanwu said, Yingbao felt a little guilty.
He glanced at Xiao Mo and asked Xuanwu, "Can you think of a way to move him away?"
Xuanwu: "You can't move him away. He has awakened his consciousness and will definitely come after you."
Yingbao: ...
"Will he destroy this place?" she asked.
Xuanwu was silent for a moment, then said, "If you anger him, maybe."
Then he added: "So, it's better for us to stay away from each other."
Yingbao: "In this case, we must resign from the emperor as soon as possible and return to Qinchuan County."
Now that Xiao Mo is still the prince of a long-lived marquis, the emperor will definitely not let him leave the capital, so he might as well return to his fiefdom, or let Wei Zhan be sent away and live with him somewhere else.
