Chapter Fifty-Nine: Down to the Kitchen
Lichen's hand was about to let go of Bai Gudu's wrist, but suddenly Bai Gudu's fingers moved a few times, and Lichen hurriedly took his hand back, and his expression was a little embarrassed.
On the bed, the white bones were as clear as the bright moon and her eyes opened, and in the blur, she saw a familiar outline, and when she could see it clearly, it was Lichen's handsome and cold face, which appeared in her eyes.
Bai Gu was startled, a pair of bright eyes widened, the delicate body sat up from the bed suddenly, the body shrank back, a little farther away from the dust, the beautiful eyes turned around to look, the environment in front of her was a little familiar, it was the Sifang Gathering Inn, the guest room she was in at the moment was the room where she and Zizhu lived when they first arrived in Chang'an.
Bai Gu's eyes were full of doubts and uneasiness staring at Lichen, a little panicked and chaotic in his heart, how could he gather in the inn in all directions, how could Lichen be here, could he live here? The scenes of what happened before falling asleep flashed in Bai Gudu's mind, Bai Gudu remembered that she was walking alone in the streets and alleys, no, she should be crawling in the streets and alleys, she thought that she had not survived the full moon of the Middle Yuan, she thought that she had failed to transform and was going to die, it was Lichen who suddenly appeared, and gave her the spiritual power and true qi, and then she looked at Lichen and left, and then she didn't know anything!
"You demon snake, you have caused trouble to the deity, since you are awake, you can leave now!" Lichen turned around, turned his back to Bai Gudu, and said in a cold tone.
Bai Gudu glanced at Lichen's back-turned body, and couldn't help but roll her eyes, although Lichen has always been this cold look, but every time she sees Lichen's demeanor, she always feels angry from the bottom of her heart, although she is now a lowly demon, and Lichen is a god who is high, it is extremely normal for Lichen to look down on her so proudly, but she doesn't know why she is very uncomfortable in her heart, Bai Gudu suddenly remembered something, hurriedly looked at her right hand, and saw that the golden pendant was still in her hand, she breathed a sigh of relief。
"More adults are saving Xiao Du's life for the sake of the gambling contract, Xiao Du still has something to do, and he is leaving!" Bai Gu Du said, and got off the bed with her delicate body, she didn't want to face this cold stone for a moment now, but before she took a lotus step, her head suddenly hit with a burst of dizziness, she had to sit back on the bed again, shook her head vigorously, and in order to keep her mind awake, she had to use the true qi in her body to travel and breathe.
"What about the true anger? Why is the dantian empty?" Bai Gu was only startled, but immediately there was a wry smile: "I forgot, now that I am a human, it's really ridiculous, I am used to being a demon!"
"Do you think you have what it takes to become the master of the Tianyin Pavilion at this moment?" Lichen said.
Bai Gudu's footsteps stopped, and he took a deep breath: "Whether you have the ability or not, you don't need to worry about adults!" When he said this, Bai Gudu wanted to leave quickly, and his already hungry stomach suddenly growled, and Bai Guduyu covered his stomach with his hand, a little embarrassed.
"Wei Jun who is in such a hurry to see you, and the breakfast that the deity prepared for you is not eating?" When he said this, Lichen's tone was no longer cold, and instead there was a helplessness that could be called vinegar.
Lichen's words still have a certain effect, Bai Gudu stopped, this sentence seemed to poke at some kind of unknowability hidden in Bai Gudu's heart, she looked back at Lichen, her beautiful face seemed to be surprised and moved, and she seemed to be in disbelief, "You didn't eat the breakfast that the deity prepared for you?"
Huo Xi didn't know when he stood beside Lichen, dragging a wooden plate with both hands, and the plate contained an extremely tempting-looking breakfast.
"You are a mortal now, you can't eat three meals a day, Prince Gong's Mansion is at least twenty miles away from here, if you walk, when will you go?
"I don't know who said let me go just now, it's really fast to change hexagrams!" Bai Gudu muttered softly, but after thinking about it, what Li Chen said was also very right, not to mention that he is hungry now, just to walk twenty miles on foot, she can neither fly now, nor has no spells, there are no two hours, how can she walk back, tired is second, if she misses the time when she takes up the Tianyin Pavilion Lord Ceremony, then her livelihood to eat in Chang'an City will be ruined, and her future plans for a series of important things will be all disrupted, when will the dragon pattern jade ring be found, whether Wei Jun is Wang Yi's previous life, and when will he go to check, if Lichen can send himself, fly to the sky and the earth, and arrive at Prince Gong's Mansion in an instant, wouldn't it be great!
After thinking about it, Bai Gudu said loudly: "Since the adults are willing to send Xiao Du back in person, Xiao Du is grateful, this breakfast is the intention of the adults, the mind of the gods, how dare Xiao Du disobey!"
Huo Xi entered the guest room, put breakfast on the table one by one, glanced at the master Lichen and Bai Gudu, holding a wooden plate and was about to leave, the master's mind from the dust, how could he not know, it was clear that he was in love with Bai Gudu, and there was a tendency to fall, he didn't know what unpredictable consequences emotion would bring to the master, he also spoke out to stop it, but he also knew clearly that once the root of love sprouted, it was like a little spark, with the potential of burning the prairies, with only a drop of water from him, how to extinguish it!
"Huo Xi, don't you often complain to the deity, don't you let you eat this delicacies in the world, since you have come to the world, you will follow the customs, in this period of time in the world, the deity allows, you don't have to Bigu! Sit down and eat with Xiao Du!" Lichen said, the corners of his lips rose slightly, and he smiled at Huo Xi, and the whole person was gentle.
Huo Xi was stunned for an instant, and Bai Gudu was even more surprised, how could this Lichen suddenly seem to be a different person, Lichen at this moment was exactly the same as Lichen's temperament when he was acting with Bai Gudu in Xiangxiang Restaurant that day, but right now, Lichen was not acting.
"Thank you master, my subordinates are still guarding outside!" Huo Xi hurriedly said, this was a rare smile from Lichen to him, but he couldn't make a bright and bright lantern here, came back to his senses, took the wooden plate, Huo Xi quickly left the guest room, and closed the door gently.
Lichen didn't know Huo Xi's inner thoughts, but like Huo Xi, he could also be said to be a white bone who was well versed in the world, how could she not guess the motive and purpose of Huo Xi's move, but she didn't want to think about it, she just buried her head in breakfast.
"What is the taste of food in this world, the deity is very curious!" Seeing Bai Gudu eating so with relish, Lichen couldn't help but sigh.
"I want to know, my lord, can you just taste it!" Bai Gu said casually, like Lichen, who has been staying in the desolate world, barely leaving home, and has never set foot in the human world, it is extremely normal for him to have never eaten human food, and it is also extremely normal to be interested in the world's grains.
"The deity is curious, don't you say that you like the flowers and willows of this mortal world, then you are like most women in this world, kind and virtuous?"
"What do you mean by asking? It's not a little alone boasting, in a certain time and space in the world, there is a sentence that specifically describes a beautiful and virtuous woman, called 'up to the hall and down to the kitchen', Xiao Du is not talented, and it is also in line with this sentence!" Bai Gudu was not modest, his demeanor was hard but gentle.
"The deity wants to taste your cooking!" said Lichen.
Bai Gudu was stunned, looking at Lichen's gaze a little chaotic, he hurriedly dodged, and ate again, but deep in his heart, he didn't have the previous calm, but Lichen's request still had to be responded.
"If there is a chance in the future, Xiao Du will definitely do what the adults wish!May I go?" said Bai Gu without raising his head.
Lichen didn't speak, got up directly, waved his cloak and walked out of the house, Bai Gu stood up alone, looking at Lichen's back, his eyes were a little dazed.
……
Prince Gong's Mansion –
For a whole night, Prince Gong's Mansion was in a mess, first Bai Gudu disappeared, then Li Yi, Tianli, and Zizhu were all gone, and almost all the soldiers and subordinates of Prince Gong's Mansion were dispatched, and they searched most of Chang'an City, but no three people were found.
Wei Jun and Li Xin, Wu Xiang was anxious like ants on a hot pot, Wei Jun and Wu Xiang wanted to go to find it in person several times, but they were dissuaded by Li Xin, Li Xin was actually worried about Wei Jun's safety, in the middle of the night, she was afraid that Wei Jun would be in danger, if Wu Xiang went to find it, Wei Jun alone would definitely not be able to stay, she simply stopped Wu Xiang from going out to look for it, she also knew that she was very selfish to do so, but she couldn't let Wei Jun have the slightest danger.
It was already four o'clock in the morning, and all the soldiers who were looking for Li Yi had returned, and the atmosphere in the entire Gongwang Mansion was extremely depressing.
At this moment, Li Yi and Tianli's figures appeared out of thin air in the courtyard of Prince Gong's mansion, and the people in the courtyard all saw it, and immediately became excited, and shouted to each other: "The little prince is back, Tianli girl is back!"
In the welcome hall of Prince Gong's Mansion, Wei Jun, Li Yi, Tianli, Li Xin, and Wu Xiang gathered together, Li Yi and Tianli told Wei Jun the three of them what happened, and the three of them understood that Bai Gudu was injured in practicing pranayama and was taken away by Lichen, Zizhu went out alone late at night to get the blood of livestock in order to heal Bai Gudu's injuries, and was bumped into by Tianli and Li Yi, and the two were curious and followed.
Wei Jun, Li Xin, and Wu Xiang finally put their minds at ease, but Wei Jun was anxious all night after all, and he couldn't help but feel a fire in his heart, and he was injured in addition to Bai Gudu's improper pranayama, and was also taken away by Lichen, a person who had bad intentions towards Bai Gudu in his eyes, although Li Yi and Tianli said that Bai Gudu was unscathed and unharmed, but he couldn't be happy anyway, and Li Xin was relieved and comforted on the side.
"Where's Zizhu, shouldn't she have come back early?" Seeing that the atmosphere was silent, Tianli suddenly asked.
"Everyone stayed in the reception room in the second half of the night, and they didn't see Miss Zizhu come back!" Wu Xiang replied.
