The next day, the two got up early.
The sun was rising in the east, it was still early, and the two of them looked at each other.
After a while, they all fell asleep in unison.
After going back to sleep, Ye An woke up at noon and was ready to pour tea leaves.
The tea leaves given by Jiang Yi are actually all green tea...the taste will be a little different compared to black tea. However, the taste after the deviation is milky green, which is not a big problem.
It just so happened that Qi Xi also woke up at this time.
"Ha... Huh~"
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, her mouth opened slightly and yawned. Her proud and bright eyes looked slightly tired and dull. Her long silver hair, which was as bright as the stars and the Milky Way, was messy. Even the bangs that used to cover her forehead stood up.
The loose dress slowly fell down, revealing her pair of white and smooth shoulders. Only the last bit of the dress would slip off, and she could see through the clouds and see the mountains, small...no, big.
She lifted up her dress and complained: "What are you doing up so early..."
Ye An lowered his head and checked backwards, then responded directly, "You sleep so late, you pig."
"snort."
Qi Xi straightened his hair, with happiness written all over his face, "You don't understand, what Yue'er told me before."
"Girls who stay in bed look cuter."
Ye An rubbed his head, feeling a little numb, "Master Qi Xi, you have nothing to do with girls, especially cute girls."
Snapped!
A pillow came directly towards him and covered his face.
"Shut up if you can't speak!"
Qi Xi puffed up his cheeks and said angrily.
Ye An threw the pillow back casually, "Want to drink tea?"
"Don't drink!"
"You only have the strength to hit me when you're full."
"...Then, let's have a drink."
He was probably used to it, so Ye An's reaction to Qi Xi every day was as calm and steady as an old dog.
He poured a cup of tea and handed it over. When it cooled down a bit, Qi Xi drank it in one gulp without caring about the image.
According to her words, she hated drinking, but it was through these teas that she found the feeling of other people drinking... Ye An didn't even bother to complain, forget it.
“(*′▽｀*)… ”
She was really happy this time.
Ye An couldn't help but want to complain. She was the empress of the previous dynasty, but she had the same expression as a little girl.
Of course, after meeting Qi Xi's resentful eyes, he cut off his thoughts.
"You know, Ye An, I had a dream last night..."
"I do not know."
"you listen to me… "
Qi Xi held hot tea in his hand and sat on the bed like a duck. "I dreamed again about the time when I was at the Northern Saint Cloud Summit. I also saw little pets following us."
"Little pet?" Ye An was slightly confused.
"That's right, that's right."
Qi Xi nodded and said, "Do you still remember what I told you before?"
Ye An looked confused, "What's the matter?"
“…”
Qi Xi forced a smile and said with a kind expression, "I said that if I came to Nanlin, I would like to raise a pet."
Ye An's side face twitched slightly, "I hate the job of shoveling shit the most..."
"And I think Nanlin's little pet is not too small. Is this really good?"
The mainland has been immersed in spiritual energy over time, and there are no normal pets at all.
A Pipi shrimp can evolve into a king crab, and a small grass carp can also become a real dragon. With aura, nothing can happen.
I really thought that the Monster Mountain Range was just a joke, each and every one of them had their Lord Devouring Hearts as high as the sky.
The Beast Control Sect many years ago was like this.
"Why is it bad?"
Qi Xi snorted and explained, "Don't worry, all I want to raise is just a kitten."
"cat?"
"Yeah." She nodded, "Don't worry, and I still have 30% of the gods' inheritance in hand. Even if there are monsters, how can they be easily hurt?"
Ye An thought about it, that was true, but he still couldn't help but express his thoughts.
"I'm afraid that when I grow up, I'll realize that it's not a cat, but a tiger."
Qi Xi rubbed the side of his face and smiled awkwardly, "Hehe..."
Ye An: "...? Do you really want to raise a tiger?"
Qi Xi waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, don't worry, I swear!"
"Near the Guyun Forest in the Southern Forest, in addition to the market for beast bones and skins, there are also many places to raise small pets. Usually, due to the face of the Temple Empress and the busy schedule, I can't go there, but now I can finally That’s it!”
She looked forward to it, and it was obvious that she was sincere, "Please, Ye An."
Ye An said: "It's useless if you swear."
"Huh." Qi Xi pouted, looking like a sulky little girl.
Ye An added: "How can I say it? I'll just believe you for now."
"But I've been a little strange recently. My body is always very hot and my desire is a bit strong. If you break the contract..."
After saying this, Qi Xi turned around as quickly as turning the page in a book, with happiness written all over his face.
"Oh, I understand! I will definitely cure you."
"No need for treatment." Ye An shook his head, his expression suddenly changed.
Qi Xi was stunned for a moment, then his delicate body trembled and he hugged his shoulders with his hands.
"What dirty things are you thinking about?"
A pillow flew towards me again.
…
…
Guyun Forest is located in the southwest, somewhat similar to the Western Desert.
Even if you look at the entire continent, this is the largest gathering place of monster beasts, and there is no other place. Many of these monsters and beasts are born together with peerless medicinal herbs. Although dangers lurk, there are many opportunities.
Ye An and the other two would not play the dungeon of Guyun Forest.
They no longer have worldly desires for worldly things like animal elixirs and medicinal herbs, they just want to play with... cats.
On the outskirts of the forest, there is a place similar to a pet market, but because it is sparsely populated, it is far less crowded than the market selling animal pills next door. It is already quite deserted.
Although there are harmless and amiable spiritual beasts everywhere, such as snakes and rats, Ye An still can't accept them.
Qi Xi shuttled among them, looking back and forth.
There were many cats around, but maybe they were sick or not looking good, so she was not satisfied with them.
Ye An followed, yawning.
The residence is not settled yet, and not to mention the pets, I may not even be able to take care of myself. His ideal residence is to find a small village, build a wooden house, and have an open space, which is also more suitable for raising pets.
But he still couldn't persuade Xiao Qixi's decision.
He had no intention of keeping a pet, but he saw a... Chinese garden dog on the corner.
The brown hair and melancholy eyes, even though he was still a cub, were all too familiar to Ye An.
The stage name is Chinese Pastoral Dog, and the common name is Native Dog.
"Ah...! My kitten!"
Perhaps due to fate and tacit understanding, Qi Xi also found his favorite pet.
She took Ye An's hand and pointed into the distance, "Ye An, Ye An...! That's it, can you buy it for me?"
The direction she pointed happened to be next to the Chinese pastoral dog that Ye An was interested in.
It was an orange kitten. It was obviously just born, and it could be held in only one hand. It was curled up in a corner of the iron cage, and it somewhat matched the listless and melancholy Chinese pastoral dog next to it...
but…
This kitten has a vague word "王" on its head, which is outrageous.
"This is not a cat."
Ye An looked at Qi Xi and told her with certainty, "That's a tiger, but he hasn't grown up yet."
Qi Xi pouted slightly with displeasure on his face, "That's the cat."
The two looked at each other for a moment, Ye An was speechless.
Zhao Gao once called a deer a horse, and today an empress calls a tiger a cat... Wait, tigers are indeed cats.
"Buy it for me, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay!"
Qi Xi bit her red lips and suddenly started acting cute and coquettish.
If she didn't have a penny on her body, how could she let go of her former empress dignity and act coquettishly.
The slender white hands gently touched Ye An's body, and a sweet and soft voice hummed softly.
Ye An's face was full of black lines and he held her head down, "There are people around, don't you feel embarrassed?"
"Huh!" Qi Xi was immediately startled.
She looked around at the people around her.
The sights of the few passers-by who occasionally passed by were all focused on her.
"Are they a couple? Or are they just boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"It's so good to love each other..."
"Looking at how young they are, they found each other so quickly... I'm envious."
Noisy sounds echoed in my ears.
Qi Xi lowered his head on the spot, and a thick layer of fire rose up on his fair and delicate face.
"Woooooooo..."
She was already dead. "It's so embarrassing."
Ye An smiled slightly, touched her head, and comforted her: "It's okay, little Qixi. When you become thick-skinned in the future, you will get used to it."
“…”
Qi Xi's awkward mood disappeared, "Huh, if you don't want to buy it, I won't buy it."
"It's a pity. Originally, I wanted to give you some rewards..."
These words immediately caught Ye An's attention.
He asked: "What reward?"
Qi Xi pursed his lips slightly, "I just wear a maid's clothes, massage and rub my shoulders every day to serve the master... It just gives me a taste of what Master feels like when he is a maid, and treats you like the master. But Now, um, forget it.”
Tsk.
Ye An couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"I heard what you said, I bought it!"
He made a decision on the spot, and his decision was so swift that even Qi Xi was unexpected.
"But you have to remember the maid pretending to be a maid. You have to do it." He emphasized again.
Qi Xi was stunned for a few seconds, and the blush on his face became even brighter, "You... I, I was just joking to make you angry, ah... Also, what is a maid outfit? I don't want it!"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, you won't break your promise, right?"
"I, I didn't... Ah, forget it, I'll listen to you."
Annoyance and happiness were written all over her face.
Words can be said randomly, but the body is honest.
Perhaps because of his greedy heart, Ye An felt that... his desire was getting stronger and stronger, and he looked at Qi Xi with a wolf-like look in his eyes, wishing he could eat her on the spot.
Suppress these thoughts for the time being.
The two came to the stall.
Perhaps it was because no one had been here for a long time, so the stall owner felt it was strange to see the two of them. He even bluntly said that the two of them had extraordinary temperament and outstanding appearance. If they were not monks pretending to be monks, they would be people with a bright future.
The cowhide boasted that the beetle had made a fortune. Ordinary people would have done this, but from the beginning to the end, the two people's hearts were not disturbed.
"You want to buy this... native dog?"
At this time, Qi Xi asked doubtfully.
The stall owner banged the table and said, "Little girl, this is not called a native dog. You people in the city don't know this. Its ancestor was the golden-eyed wolf king in the ancient Yun forest..."
The stall owner was minding his own business, and he was able to earn a small amount of business in the entire pet market with just his mouth.
Ye An said directly to Qi Xi: "It's not called a native dog."
"what is that?"
"It's called the Chinese Pastoral Dog."
"… Well."
Qi Xi didn't quite understand and said casually, "Forget it, it's not my money that's being spent anyway."
Ye An thought about it, it was none of her business, and said directly: "But little Qixi, you must remember to dress up as a maid."
Stall owner: "...?"
He closed his mouth and looked at the dog food aside, full of sadness.
…
Under daylight, outside the Guyun Forest.
Qi Xi knelt down and gently stroked the hair of the little orange cat with his white jade hands. Although the orange cat was small, he was still a tiger. Generally, he would roar when he encountered a natural enemy. But in front of Qi Xi, it was really just a little orange cat, silent for fear of being chopped into pieces.
On the side, the brown dog with melancholy eyes took difficult steps and tried to escape. At least he would feel at ease until he was by Ye An's side.
The empress's divine inheritance is already a strong oppression for the human race, not to mention these two cats and dogs.
"Look, I said the kitten is very obedient." Qi Xi said softly.
“…”
"Huh? Why don't you say anything? Are you angry...?"
Ye An ignored her for the time being and remained silent.
At this moment, lines of text were displayed in front of him.
Ding!
You have a new mission!
Mission content: Find the incarnation of one of the nine ancient stars, the 'Tianqin Star', in the ancient Yun Forest of the Southern Forest.
After the task is completed, the rewards will be calculated based on the task process!
Just after a few days of stability, there was news about the main mission again.
Regarding the Ancient Nine Stars, not long ago, there was a Greedy Wolf Star among the system rewards.
But now the main task is for him to find it himself.
However, what use are these nine stars to Ye An? He doesn't care about this. He only cares about whether his cats and dogs can eat well and sleep well today. He only cares about little Qixi's maid outfit...
There seems to be no plot about the Ancient Nine Stars in the original novel. Ever since Chen Che's death, or even when he met Chen Che, the plot has collapsed. Why does it matter so much
"Fortunately the main quest is not mandatory."
Ye An secretly rejoiced, "Mission reward? Who does it? I'll throw it away!"
"Mission reward? What mission reward is it?"
At this moment, Qi Xi suddenly said coldly.
Ye An shuddered, turned around suddenly, and saw Qi Xi's clear and bright black eyes, faintly filled with bloodshot eyes.
"You're so... so scary, little Qixi." He said.
Qi Xi sighed, stood on tiptoes, and rubbed Ye An's head, "I called you several times but you didn't answer. What are you thinking? I'm really curious, so... um, I'm sorry."
"Come see the kittens and puppies," she said.
Ye An let her mind go, breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly noticed something.
"Little Qixi, did you just touch my head with the same hand you use to pet a cat?"
Qi Xi: “…”
She was stunned for a moment, raised her hand, and stammered: "Okay, I guess so."
