Chapter 429: Take a break on the way
Yu Lingzhu insisted: "Then don't be, you have helped us so much when you just arrived here today, plus you are now in a pivotal position in Central Continent, even if my senior brother is busy, he will treat you well tonight." Besides, there are still nearly 400 miles to go back to the rear station from here, and the two of us will have to walk for a day or two. ”
"Oh. . . That's what you mean. Then I understand! I'm going to go to Mu Wenxin. I said with a smile.
Yu Lingzhu said angrily: "What do you understand!? Annoying! You go quickly!".
In the evening, Mu Wenxin did arrange a good dinner for me, which was both welcome and thanks. It's just that in the current situation, everything should be as simple as possible, and everyone can do their best to each other.
This time the demons attacked, and the number of casualties among the defenders in the fortress exceeded 4,000. For a fortress of only 50,000 men, such casualties were not insignificant. Moreover, the fortress's defensive circle was almost destroyed in this demon attack, and now a large number of manpower and materials are urgently needed to repair the defensive circle.
Therefore, when Mu Wenxin heard that Yu Lingzhu was going to accompany me back to the rear to find their master, Mu Wenxin readily agreed. First, it will be safer for Yu Lingzhu to return to the rear station with me. Second, my affairs will not be delayed because Mu Wenxin can't get out of his body.
At noon the next day, Yu Lingzhu and I rode a sandbar wind lizard together and galloped towards the location of the head of the Mirror Moon Dream Palace behind the defensive line.
I lay leisurely on the back of the sandbar lizard and said, "Actually, if I take you to use the thunder escape, we will return to the rear faster." ”
Yu Lingzhu sat in front of him and drove the sandbank wind lizard, and said to me: "Your current body has not recovered, if you use Lei Dun to take me, it will increase your loss, and it is most important for you to take care of your body as soon as possible." ”
I casually said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." It feels like you're a little housekeeper right now. ”
Yu Lingzhu turned to look at me and said, "Don't be kidding. You always act as if you are careless about everything, but in fact, you are more cautious than anyone else. You know very well that with your current physical condition, you will not be able to exert the amazing combat power that you did yesterday. The most important thing you need to do now is to regain your strength as soon as possible, and to recharge your Celestial Stone Ring quickly. ”
I sighed helplessly and said, "Alas... I really can't hide anything from you. ”
"Hmph, I saw you secretly take the Huitian Stone Ring off your arm yesterday, you must have let the Huitian Stone Ring quickly store energy, so you chose not to let the Huitian Stone Ring continue to automatically recover for you, right? Hurry up and recuperate and recover as soon as possible. Yu Lingzhu said.
I nodded and said, "Okay, okay, okay, listen to you, no one has ever treated me like this all these years." ”
Yu Lingzhu smiled softly: "Okay, the weather has been good for the past two days, if there is no sandstorm, it is estimated that we will arrive at the rear station tomorrow afternoon at the latest." So late tonight, let's find a place to rest for the night. Then, you make me something to eat, and I'll play the mess for you, okay?"
I smiled and said, "Yes, okay." You don't have to wait until late at night, when you're tired, let's find a place to rest. ”。。。
Late at night, Yu Lingzhu and I found a dilapidated stone house that had been invaded by perennial wind and sand. Yu Lingzhu tied the reins of the sandbank lizard to the stone pillar and began to feed the sandbank lizard.
I first set up a compound magic circle around the stone house that combines concealment, enemy detection, and defense, and then raised a fire and took out various ingredients from the spatial ring.
Yu Lingzhu sat aside, watched me keep busy, and asked, "You and Qu Zhaolin were like this when we were in the endless sea of flowers, right?"
I put the pot on the fire and said, "Well, it's pretty much, haven't I told you all those things before?" Actually, I'm very reluctant to mention that name or person right now. ”
"You still can't let go of her in your heart, can you?" asked Yu Lingzhu.
I nodded and said, "I guess, I admit that when I mention her name now, my heart is still touched." But I have only one relationship with her now, and that is the enemy. ”
"What would you do if you saw her again?" asked Yu Lingzhu, looking at me with both hands on her cheeks.
After I put the ingredients in the pot, I started frying the steak on another fire, and I said, "I asked this question before I went down the mountain, and I couldn't go down the mountain without answering him." ”
"Then what did you say at the time?" asked Yu Lingzhu.
I stared at the steak and said in a deep voice, "Nirvana." My Master Xuanzhen was quite satisfied with the answer I said, and he said that if I couldn't do it by then, he would go down the mountain himself. ”
"At that time, Master Xuanzhen will kill you with his own hands, right?" Yu Lingzhu asked.
I nodded and said, "As a disciple of the Kunlun Sect, but I am obsessed with the Demon Dao Holy Maiden, can my Xuanzhen Master not slap me to death?" Okay, a steak and a milk fungus soup are enough for the two of us to eat." Come on, try it. ”
Yu Lingzhu said dissatisfiedly: "I swore that I would give me something delicious, but I ended up making two dishes, and I was looking forward to it." ”
I handed a bowl of soup to Yu Lingzhu and said, "We have to hurry tomorrow morning, isn't it a waste to eat too much." Come, taste my soup first. ”
Yu Lingzhu took the milk fungus soup and tasted it gently, slightly stunned: "Your soup... Strangely, I haven't heard of such a practice. ”
I smiled and said, "How's it going? It tastes good, isn't it?"
"I'll have to try that beef again to find out. Yu Lingzhu pointed to the steak and said.
I cut the steak into small pieces, handed it to Yu Lingzhu, and said, "The exclusive secret pan-fried steak is also for Miss Lingzhu to taste." ”
Yu Lingzhu tasted a piece and said, "Well... It's delicious. Back then, a few of us were ordered to go together to invite the Jade Frost Palace and Penglai Pavilion out of the mountain, why didn't I see you cook once?"
I took a sip of the soup and said, "It's too much trouble." Besides, there were so many of us at the time, how many meals did I have to cook at one time? ”
"To put it bluntly, in your eyes back then, we were not worth it for you to cook a meal for us?" Yu Lingzhu said, holding the soup.
I ate a steak, took another sip of wine, and said with a smile, "I can't say that, if I had to cook a meal for you alone, I would have been more than willing." ”
