As soon as she saw the big bed in front of her, Xia Qiu really felt a wave of tiredness rushing through her body. This was the first time she had such a real feeling of fatigue in a state of soul separation. She opened the gauze curtain and then hugged Xiao Libai and fell down on the bed. The quilts and pillows on the bed were all made of cotton and exuded a sun-dried fragrance. This was the smell she had liked since she was a child. Grandma's washed bedding and clothes also smelled like this. She called it the smell of the sun.
She curled up and relied on Xiaolibai's warmth to give herself some warmth. Ever since she woke up in the realm of soul separation, she has been experiencing escape and adventure, and she has no time to think about too many other things. But now, when she was alone in a closed space, she felt the fear that her body was being occupied by other souls, the unknown of the unknown road ahead, the loneliness and helplessness of being in a foreign world... all her emotions were like a stormy wave. Huge waves rolled towards her, and she was rocking from side to side like a boat in the sea. For a moment, she cried uncontrollably.
Just like that, she didn't know how long she cried. When she was tired of crying, she fell asleep. After sleeping for a while, there was a knock on the door downstairs. She got up groggily and walked down the stairs. After opening the sliding door, I found Elk Fairy standing outside the door. He was holding a rectangular wooden tray with several pieces of cotton clothes and towels neatly stacked on the tray.
After the Elk Fairy saluted her, he then looked in the direction of the bathroom in the room. Xia Qiu roughly understood that he wanted to ask whether he wanted to take a bath. So she nodded and said, "I just did some research and didn't figure out how to release the hot water."
The Elk Fairy smiled slightly, then walked into the bathroom, first placed the tray in his hand on the shelf on the side, then walked to the rectangular bathtub, skillfully pulled a rope hanging from the ceiling, and then turned it Turning on a red valve on the wall, steaming water emerged from a round hole in the wall. The water flow could just be poured into the bathtub. He specifically demonstrated it to Xia Qiu again. Turn the red valve again and the hot water will stop.
"It's so convenient!" Xia Qiu couldn't help but sigh, feeling that this was similar to the design of human water heaters.
When Elk Fairy saw that she had figured out how to use the hot water, he withdrew. Before closing the door, he gesticulated with her for a long time. She immediately understood that he was asking her to go downstairs for dinner after taking a bath. Strangely enough, although he couldn't speak a word, he could express everything he meant with body language as if he had magic.
It's really nice to take a hot bath on the first day after arriving in the Infinite Heaven. The water quality here is very good, and the water seems to have been soaked with things like flower petals, and you can smell a faint fragrance. After getting out of the bath, Xia Qiu put on the cotton clothes that Elk Fairy had just brought for her. On this off-white clothes, the cuffs and collar were embroidered with small and cute purple flowers.
It was already night. She walked out of the room, walked down the stairs in the square hall, and then came to the first floor of the building. Ouyang Xueye was sitting on the extended platform drinking wine alone. When he saw her coming down, he waved to her. After she walked over, he pointed to the direction of the sky and said to her: "Look, the moon in this world is very bright." Be special!”
"There are seven moons!" Xia Qiu looked in the direction he pointed. There were seven moons in the sky, forming a circle around each other.
"Yes, these are the seven-color moons unique to the Infinite Heaven. They correspond to the seven islands here." Ouyang Xueye explained to her, then put his wine glass on the table next to him and stood up and said, "I'm hungry. Really? Let’s go eat!”
"Have you been waiting for me?" Xia Qiu asked.
"Yeah, it's rare to have someone to have a meal with me." Ouyang Xueye's eyes were even more charming under the reflection of the seven-colored moon. Although there was a smile on his face, he was a bit lonely.
"Won't Elk Fairy accompany you to dinner?" Xia Qiu asked curiously.
"I would like him to eat with me, but it's a pity that he can't eat meat or greasy food. He can only eat vegetables and fruits. If I eat the same thing as him, I will become a rabbit." Ouyang Xueye joked.
Xia Qiu followed him and sat down at the round table in the middle. Elk Fairy brought out the prepared dishes one by one and arranged them, and poured Xia Qiu a glass of juice. She really didn't expect to have such a sumptuous dinner in this place.
"Try the craftsmanship of Elk Immortal! He is the best housekeeper in the infinite heaven. Not only can he easily complete all the housework by himself, but his cooking skills are also very good! These vegetables and fruits for making juice are all It is grown by the dead souls on Lvli Island, and the meat comes from Chengshan Island. It was just shipped over by ship this morning, so it is very fresh!" Ouyang Xueye said.
Xia Qiu first tasted the green vegetables tentatively. The dish looked colorful. She thought that such a fancy dish would not be too delicious, but when she put it in her mouth, she realized that the taste was unexpectedly good.
"This dish consists of seven different vegetables, and they have exactly seven colors, and they are all cut into shreds, so I named it Qise Xuanyue." Ouyang Xueye said.
He didn't move his chopsticks, but looked at Xia Qiu with his cheeks drawn. He couldn't help but think that his son Ouyang Xiaoleng was the same age as her. It would be great if he and Ran Susu could sit down and have a meal together. How nice. He had already guessed that the relationship between the girl in front of him and his son Ouyang Xiaoleng was more than just a blood pact. The light in her eyes when she mentioned his name was something he had also seen in the eyes of his wife Ran Susu. Pass.
Xia Qiu took another piece of meat and put it in her mouth. The meat was fat but not greasy, and had a faint floral fragrance. It reminded her of the food cooked by her grandma.
"Do you know? This is venison! Of course it is a very special kind of deer. I wonder what the Elk Fairy put in it to give it the fragrance of flowers!" Ouyang Xueye said as he turned to the Elk Fairy who was standing by. "Elk Fairy, although it's not made from redbud elk, it's still a kind of deer. Don't you feel like you can't do it when you make this dish?"
The Elk Fairy smiled faintly, but his eyes seemed to say: Don’t you always eat deliciously
Xia Qiu couldn't help but laugh. Ouyang Xueye's personality was completely different from that of Ouyang Xiaoleng. In fact, she had felt this way when she saw the two pieces of calligraphy he hung in the hall. Those two lines of poems were obviously not neat. , but put together without losing coordination. His character is likely to be free and unrestrained, which is exactly the opposite of Ouyang Xiaoleng's repression and restraint.
After dinner, Ouyang Xueye invited her to sit on the platform with him, then handed her a wine glass, poured her a glass of wine and said, "How can you enjoy the moon without good wine?"
"Can I..." Xia Qiu was still hesitant.
"You can drink alcohol after you reach adulthood at the age of twelve in the Demon Realm. There is no such restriction in the Infinite Heaven Realm. This wine is brewed by the souls of the dead on Qingmei Island. Although the taste is quite different from Ouyang Yong's wine, it is similar to the Demon Realm. The wine is about the same, you take a sip and try it." After Ouyang Xueye finished speaking, he drank down his glass of wine.
Xia Qiu also drank a glass. The wine tasted so sweet that she mistakenly thought it had a low alcohol content. Unexpectedly, she didn't know anything after drinking a few glasses. In the morning, she felt something cold on her face and nose. When she opened her eyes, she found that Xiao Libai was touching her face with his nose. She couldn't remember when she came back to the room, but even if the wine from the limitless heaven was Even if you get drunk, you won't have a headache the next day.
When she walked downstairs, she found that Elk Fairy had prepared several sets of clothes for her on the chair. After a brief wash, she couldn't help but walked out of the house, thinking about what kind of training Ouyang Xueye would arrange for her today. she. Who would have expected that after walking downstairs, Elk Fairy pushed her onto a chair to have breakfast. She asked him where Ouyang Xueye had been, but he just shook his head and pointed into the distance.
She thought he would come back after breakfast, but she waited idlely until evening before he came back riding the jade-colored horse from yesterday. And with him was the Holy Boy Wuyou. The two of them drank and chatted all night, leaving no chance for her to interrupt. She had no choice but to go back to her room to rest, wanting to wait until the next day.
As a result, the situation was still the same the next day. She really had nothing to do, so she helped Elk Fairy with some cleaning work, and she helped him while he was cooking. She fell in love with this old immortal from the bottom of her heart, and as she got to know him more, she discovered that he was good at more than just housework and cooking. It turned out that the clothes he was wearing were all sewn stitch by stitch by him, and the patterns on them were also embroidered by him himself.
Although the time spent with Elk Fairy was also very interesting, as time passed, Xia Qiu became more and more worried about his situation. In fact, how could she not worry? Her body is being taken over by other souls bit by bit, and her life is constantly being devoured as a result, and those unknown enemies in white cloaks may appear again and attack her at some point, as well as her. How on earth can we pass the barrier formed by the waterfall... But why is Ouyang Xueye not in a hurry at all.
Five days passed unconsciously. On the sixth day, she got up very early. Before dawn, she got up and waited for Ouyang Xueye. This time she had to tell him her sense of urgency no matter what. Unexpectedly, Ouyang Xueye got up very late that day. He walked down the stairs and yawned lazily. When he saw Xia Qiuhou, he raised a hand and said, "Good morning! Why did you get up so early? ?”
"I'm waiting for you on purpose. I hope you can start training me as soon as possible, because there is not much time left for me!" Xia Qiu said bluntly.
After hearing her words, Ouyang Xueye suddenly became energetic, narrowed his eyes and smiled and walked towards the platform, followed closely by Xia Qiu. He led her to the edge of the platform, and before she could speak again, he pushed her down coldly.
She screamed "Ah!" and fell from the platform. Her heart was pounding and almost jumped out of her mouth. There was still some distance from the ground under the purple clouds. She thought to herself: Isn't this Ouyang Xueye a little too cruel? ! ! I just have some small complaints about his lack of rigorous attitude, and he doesn't have to kill me. But what would it be like to die in this infinite heaven? Aren’t the people here just dead souls
