Ye Xi could naturally jump on the back of the black scales effortlessly, but he still grabbed Cangwu's weak and boneless hand, and sat behind her with her strength.

With a flick of his tail, he swam towards the shore.

Wait until you reach the shore and quickly climb ashore.

The black scales are extremely fast, and when the sound is reined in, the behemoth can crawl silently at full speed. However, when it crawled, it was very stable, and Ye Xi, who was sitting on it, hardly felt any bumps.

It didn't take long for them to return to Xicheng.

The Xicheng warriors who were on duty at night immediately noticed the arrival of the black scales.

Although the black scales were covered in black scales and were extremely inconspicuous in the night, its size was too large, and all the soldiers on duty became alert as soon as they entered Xicheng.

But fortunately, their eyesight is not weak, even if the night is dark, they can find Ye Xi and Cangwu sitting on the back of the black scales at a glance, and quickly recognize the identity of Cangwu, and there is no movement such as gathering to meet the enemy.

The black scales slowed down and slowly crawled along the Star Lake to Ye Xi's residence.

Ye Xi got down from the black scales, looked up at Cangwu regretfully, and said, "It's a pity that there is no one in the trading area so late, otherwise I would have taken you to see Lantern Street." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes lit up and said, "By the way, I can make you a lantern!"

"Come down and stay for a while? soon. ”

Cangwu hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay." ”

Jumping off the back of the black scales.

She was light and graceful, jumping from such a height without making any subtle sound, as light as a small snowflake falling from the ground.

Ye Xi walked into the stone house where he lived with the fog.

The hall was pitch black at this time.

Ye Xi first lit all the candles in the hall, and then lit the fireplace, making the hall bright and warm. Then ask Cangwu to sit on a stone chair covered with soft animal skins, and then plunge into the storage room.

His storage room is large, open to the ground, like a small warehouse, with all kinds of goodies piled up.

Some of them were collected by himself, some were taken from the city treasury, and some were gifts from his people, such as rare animal skins, rare plants, and gorgeous precious stones.

Ye Xi buried his head in the storage room for a while, picking and choosing, and finally took out a large stack of things and put them on the animal skin blanket in front of Cangwu.

Cangwu looked at it for a while, then bent down to pick up a white clay pot.

This large clay pot contains many colorful exotic stones, some rose red, some peacock blue, some moonlight white, and some amber yellow...... All have unique textures, shining treasures, and look beautiful and charming.

The clay pot itself is also extremely delicate, it is milky white, with a spiral pattern on the outside, and the bottom is inlaid with emerald gemstones, as well as small stones that are as brilliant as diamonds and do not know what to polish.

"I remember you liked beautiful stones, and you see if you are interested in them. Ye Xi grabbed his hair and picked out a bright yellow round stone from the clay pot, "This is called the Sun Stone, put it under the sun during the day, and it will shine at night, it is said that it is a seed that can bloom a tree as brilliant as the sun." ”

He picked up another diamond-shaped stone like blue ice: "This is an ice stone, it can be cooler when it is hot, and it should also have this effect when it is placed in water." ”

As the lord of the sea, Cangwu has seen all kinds of treasures I don't know how much, although these exotic stones have their own characteristics, and they are very gorgeous and beautiful, but it didn't take long to lose interest.

She looked at the various bronze and brass smelted crafts scattered around the carpet.

Even the Nine Workers tribe can't make such beautiful metal crafts.

Ye Xi picked up a bronze wine jug filled with liquor, opened the stopper with a bang, and suddenly the rich and mellow aroma of wine wafted out.

Cang Mist's eyes lit up.

Ye Xi raised the bronze wine jug, and the purple-red mellow wine was poured out, gathered in a palm-sized pure white stone cup, and after the wine was half full, Ye Xi handed over the stone cup: "Taste it, this is the wine brewed in Xicheng." ”

Cangwu took the stone cup and took a sip.

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Ye Xi: "Don't like the taste?"

Cangwu shook his head, the tip of his scarlet tongue licked the liquor on his lips, and took another sip of his lips, then another sip, another sip.

When the liquor in the stone cup was about to bottom, her eyes became shining, her star-like eyes were slightly bent, and she said in surprise: "It has a very unique taste, which is completely different from the wine produced by the Jiugong tribe." ”

Ye Xi was also very happy when he saw that Cangwu liked it, so he stood up and said, "You drink first, and I'll make the lantern." ”

Cangwu nodded.

Ye Xi plunged into the storage room again.

To make a lantern, you first have to find materials.

He rummaged through a few evenly dyed spider silk cloths, a few fish bones as white as jade, and a jar of liquid secreted by fluorescent worms that binded so strongly.

The spider silk cloth is as light as tulle and has strong light transmittance.

The raw material of this spider silk cloth is the spider silk of the snow-spotted spider, which is not only not weaker than silk, but also fireproof, even if it is roasted on the fire for a while, it will not burn, let alone be lit by a candle.

However, because of the rarity of raw materials and the cumbersome production process, Ye Xi, the lord of Xicheng, only had five spider silk cloths.

There are five colors each.

Ye Xi hesitated in choosing the color.

He thought of the cold blue light of the merman lamp next to the reef, the silver hair like the cold light of the moon, and the deep blue ocean, and unconsciously chose a warm orange-red spider silk cloth.

As for the skeleton of the lantern, it is because these fishbones are of the right size and thickness, each one is as thick as a little finger, and the toughness is excellent, and it can be bent into a curved shape with a slight force, which is much better than wood in terms of aesthetics and practicality.

After Ye Xi selected the materials, he found a place to sit down at random.

Then he lowered his head and began to make the lantern with his eyes intended.

He was very hands-on, and soon, a delicate skeleton lantern took shape in his slender and nimble hands.

Ye Xi picked up the warm orange skeleton lantern and looked left and right for a while, felt that something was still missing, thought about it, turned out a slender black stone, polished it into a bamboo shape with his own hands, and then took out a filament and tied it to the top of the skeleton lantern.

In this way, the lantern becomes portable.

Ye Xi looked at it with satisfaction, and embedded a lit beeswax candle into the skeleton lantern with his own hands, and suddenly, the beautiful skeleton lantern emitted a hazy and warm orange light, and faintly exuded the fragrance of beeswax.

Ye Xi walked out with the newly baked skeleton lantern.

As soon as he went out, he smelled a strong aroma of wine, and he was slightly alarmed, and walked quickly to the fireplace, where he found more than a dozen empty bronze wine jugs lying on the ground.

And Cang Wu sat crookedly on a wide stone chair covered with snow-white animal skins, his cheeks flushed, and looked at him innocently.
