Chapter 89: Chinese New Year's Eve
"It's better for you to teach. Jin Ying handed Bai Xue to Ji Ao again.
Jin Ying didn't feel that there was anything wrong with teaching this cat, and she didn't feel ashamed, after all, it was too difficult to meet its requirements.
"I was invited to eat Chinese New Year's Eve, how can I teach it?"
"You lie to me, I'm not alive! You monsters are liars, wow...... Meow!" Bai Xue raised her voice again, feigning a cry and shouting loudly.
"You're all working together to bully a poor homeless stray cat...... Meow...... Woo...... "Because it found that this trick is equally useful for the youkai and the owner."
"It's noisy, it's noisy, I can't stand it! I'll eat it anyway!" Yan'er covered her head with her wings and cried loudly, "It's as noisy as a police car that captures criminals!"
"I will return it to its rightful owner, and I will give it back to you. Jin Hotaru was also stunned by the cat's high-decibel bark, he frowned, and returned the "police car" to Ji Ao.
Ji Ao looked at the cat with its limbs slashed and making an unimaginably loud horn-like sound, and hurriedly retreated back, "Isn't it?
"Do you have to take it over?" he looked at Yan'er, who was covering his ears and was about to go crazy, and Jin Hotaru, who was frowning, and asked in a low voice, "You admit that you can't teach this cat, do you?"
"It's yours in the first place! It's your responsibility to teach it, why is it up to us?" As soon as Yan'er heard this, she hurriedly rushed over and forced the "police car" to Ji Ao, "Tell it to shut up!"
"Alright, I'll teach you! Don't cry wolf!" Ji Ao opened his hand and yelled at the "police car".
"Really? The "police car" immediately stopped whistling, and immediately there was not a single tear.
"That's amazing! Now the roots of the ears are quiet," Yan'er threw herself to the ground in admiration, "If the next time Ying doesn't meet my requirements, I'll try this method." β
"You're not going to teach me 'cannibalism', are you? Bai Xuehu looked at Ji Ao suspiciously, in fact, it should be the one who wants to go crazy, right?
"Of course not, do you think you can learn it?" said Ji Ao, giving it a blank look.
"You...... You're not going to pretend to teach me, meow, and then hit me with a table or fridge or something...... Break my head, meow!" It was still in a state of reluctance, and it almost died in this room today.
ββ¦β¦ How is it possible, I am not Li Yao. β
"You don't have to learn for a hundred years or decades, do you? β
"Of course not, it's right away, Bao Xuebao!"
"Hmph, you bad monster! Meow, why do you have to go around and find three idiot monsters to trick me, woo...... If you teach me early, I'm not done, and I'm going to suffer so much, meow. Bai Xue raised her tail high, and as soon as she heard about the Bao Jiao Bao Society, she quickly walked up to Ji Ao happily again.
The sun was shining, and it was evening again, and Li Yao turned on the lights in the house.
Li Yao cleaned up the table with her hands and feet, arranged the wine and food, she worked all day, prepared more than 40 dishes, and filled a large round table.
The smell of food filled the room, and Ji Ao walked out of the other room with Bai Xue.
I don't know what he taught Bai Xue for most of the day, but Bai Xue looked satisfied at this time, and followed Ji Ao confidently.
"Ready to eat?" Ji Ao stepped forward, leaned over the table and sniffed around, and then winked at Li Yao, "Li Yao's cooking skills are really first-class in the world." β
"Of course. Li Yao said proudly while putting the last pair of chopsticks away.
"One, two, three...... Why do you put eight pairs of dishes and chopsticks?" Ji asked proudly.
"Jin Ying, Yan'er, little kitten, you, me, and Lu Qing and Xiaowen, Xiao Chi, there are a total of eight yes, I heard Zhang Lei say the day before yesterday that he and his mother were going to his grandmother's house for the New Year, so I didn't count him in it, are your girlfriends coming?" Li Yao said as she folded her hands.
"I have more than eighty girlfriends, how can this house fit?" Ji Ao was still thinking about how to get Lu Qing to mix, but he really didn't expect Li Yao to invite Lu Qing, so he couldn't help but ask, "You also invited Lu Qing?"
"Of course, how can you let her spend the New Year alone, I have already asked Jin Ying to invite her!" Li Yao said as a matter of course.
"We all live in the same city, and she's a friend of Jin Hotaru, so it's so lively to celebrate the New Year together, hehe, ...... now," she said happily after setting up all the tables.
ββ¦β¦ Xiaowen, Xiaochi, come and eat with me. She opened her arms and said something to herself, it turned out that she was chanting a spell and was summoning her spirit beast to the banquet for Chinese New Year's Eve.
After Li Yao finished reciting the incantation, two seconds, thirty seconds, two minutes...... Nothing happened.
"Ten spells that have only succeeded two or three times, and you are embarrassed to use them!" Ji Ao laughed.
"It's not ten times, it's obviously eleven times! I secretly counted it for her!" Yan'er secretly ate a large piece of braised pork while Li Yao was not paying attention, and his mouth was vaguely exposed.
It is very unfriendly to the red leopard and the civet fox, which are also spirit animals, so it doesn't want them to come to its home, and it wishes that Li Yao would never succeed in summoning them.
"Haha...... Li Yao, your failed summoning record has been refreshed again!" Ji Ao laughed heartily after hearing this.
Ji Ao said as he scrambled to join the team of stealing food with Bai Xue, Ji Ao quickly stuffed a piece of white-cut chicken into his mouth and munched on it, and Bai Xue was stretching out his paws to catch the braised fish.
"Don't eat!" Li Yao ran out of the kitchen with a loud shout, waved the spatula and knocked the three of them off the table, and several monsters immediately squatted down and hid under the table.
She crossed her waist and stood in front of the dining table to warn: "Hmph, before my Xiaochi and Xiaowen come, none of you want to eat!"
"Uh......h That could be next year, and we'll starve to death!You're abusing youkai!" Ji Ao pretended to be weak, got out from under the table, and fell on the sofa pretending to cry bitterly.
the Twelfth Call;
The Seventeenth Summoning;
β¦β¦
The Thirtieth Summoning ......
Li Yao persevered in her efforts, Ji Ao began to snore and pretend to be asleep, Bai Xue yawned a few times and became drowsy, Yan'er hid behind Li Yao and took the opportunity to steal two pieces of pork knuckle and a few sweet and sour pork ribs.
Thirty-third summoning;
Thirty-seventh calling
β¦β¦
"It must be that I'm too tired from tinkering with the day's meals. Li Yao pouted and shook her hand.
the thirty-eighth summoning;
The Thirty-Ninth Summoning ......
Jin Ying pushed open the door and walked in, followed by Lu Qing.
"Oh, is this a spell to summon spirit beasts? It's the first time I've seen it with my own eyes. Lu Qing looked at Li Yao, who was casting a spell, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
Li Yao's face flushed slightly in embarrassment when she heard this, and she continued to concentrate on reciting the fortieth summoning, and suddenly ......
The space in the living room began to distort, creating waves of waves...... First a civet dog ran out, and then a heroic and strong red leopard jumped into the house.
"Xiaowen, Xiaochi, I miss you every day! I miss you so much!" Li Yao rushed over excitedly, hugged their necks with tears in her eyes, and kissed them more than a dozen times.
"Let me introduce you to my friends...... Li Yao pointed to the two spirit beasts and pointed to the monsters in the room one by one, "Jin Ying, my best friend and neighbor ......"
Golden Firefly nodded to them.
"Yan'er, it's also a spirit beast like you, it's very cute!"
"Hmph!" Yan'er rolled her eyes, held her head high, turned her back, and ignored them.
"Ji Ao, the smartest, most handsome and most enthusiastic monster!"
"Haha...... Even let everyone know the advantages of puppets!" Ji Ao winked at them, he didn't know what modesty was at all.
"Lu Qing, she's the highest youkai here. β
"Lu Qing was very honored to see the two spirit beasts coming. Lu Qing was the only youkai in the room who knew about the existence of such a thing as "politeness".
"By the way, and our cute little kitten," Li Yao held Bai Xue aloft.
"Look, what a beautiful little kitten, snow-white, fluffy to the touch, whoever sees it wants to kiss it, mm-ah!"
"Meow ......" Bai Xue stared nervously at the red leopard, carefully watching out for this terrifyingly big "cat".
In fact, the monsters in the room, including the seemingly flying and domineering Yan'er, all have a string in their hearts.
Two adult spirit beasts and a powerful Vermilion Bird cub were in the same room, which was inevitable...... It's terrifying, isn't it?
The spirit beasts were also looking at these monsters.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Li Yao is still a child who is ignorant of the world, and her character is too naΓ―ve and kind. The red leopard opened his mouth first.
"We can't always follow her around, so I'm going to take care of her in the future, and I thank you in advance. After saying that, it bowed to everyone with Wen Li.
The monsters in the room of Jin Hotaru hurriedly returned the salute.
Now I finally understand that the relationship between these two spirit beasts and Li Yao is completely different from the relationship between Zou and Yan, Yan'er is the child of the family, the little overlord, and the most important thing is that no one can hurt it, its life is mainly coquettish, willful and domineering and spoiled.
The red leopard and the civet are Li Yao's parents, and they and her mother have watched her grow up since childhood, taking care of her and raising her together. Li Yao didn't have superb spells to protect herself, and they couldn't protect her by her side, so they were always worried about her safety.
Standing in front of them was not the spirit beast that frightened them, but the parents who cared about their children.
Thinking of this, the youkai all breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in the room relaxed.
It's better than two "flames", they don't have to worry about the thought that scares them anymore.
"It's time to eat!" Li Yao announced with a spring breeze on her face.
She is very proud of the fruits of her hard work all day, and now she is unanimously praised by everyone.
"Sit down, everyone, I'll open the wine now!" Li Yao raised her hand and gently flicked it, removing the spell used to keep the meal warm, "I bought champagne, beer and coke, which one do you want to drink?"
Everyone sat down around the table, though a few of them felt that the meal was missing some key things: spirits, and dishes made from human or monster flesh.
But most of the participants already considered it the most delicious meal they had ever had.
The table is full of delicious food, the TV is playing the Spring Festival party, the night sky is like a hundred gardens, colorful fireworks are set off one after another, beautiful and dazzling, and then lined with the sound of "crackling" firecrackers, this year's flavor is stronger.
Although this ban has been promulgated for many years, there are still some people who think that the lack of fireworks during the Spring Festival is too deserted to adhere to the tradition and bring entertainment to people, and the police and firefighters have to be busy.
Although this room is full of youkai, it looks like a standard human New Year.
Ji Ao was talking in the room, constantly boasting that she had mobilized all the atmosphere, and the unspeakable Jin Hotaru was the most serious listener, and Lu Qing was handing out the gifts she had brought to everyone: some exquisite embroidery.
The gift Yan'er received was a handkerchief embroidered with a cute firebird, while the gift Li Yao received was a silk scarf embroidered with Qu Yuan's "mountain ghost". Ji Ao also got a handkerchief, but there was only one seal script "ground" on it, without any patterns, simple and generous.
Only Jin Hotaru got a lot, and what he received was a seat cover that was put on a seat cover, a seat cover carefully embroidered with beautiful landscape paintings.
