Volume 2 The Legend Begins Chapter 15 Willing to work for the king
When Dongfang Ling regained consciousness, he only felt that there was a strong light outside his eyelids, and he opened his eyes uncomfortably, and saw the brilliant and dazzling sunlight outside the window, shining warmly on his body. Dongfang Ling found himself sleeping in a sunny room at this time, and couldn't help but recall what happened before.
"I remember that I was healing a girl before, but because I consumed too much soul, I fell unconscious outside my room, why am I lying in an unknown room now?
At this time, the door opened, and it was a girl who walked in with a bowl of steaming porridge, and saw that Dongfang Ling had woken up, and shouted happily:
"Your Highness, you are awake. Then somehow his little face turned red, and he twisted and said, "Your Highness, thank you for healing me the day before yesterday, and I am now healed." And this is the porridge I made for you with my own hands, in order to repay your Highness. "It turned out that this girl was the seriously injured girl that Dongfang Ling had treated before.
"It's you! Uh, I think you're called Xiaoyu! How's that! You're almost better, right? Wait a minute, the day before yesterday? Are you saying I've been in a coma for two days?"
The girl blushed and said, "Thank you Your Highness for your concern, because of Your Highness's elixir, I am almost fine." The girl bit her fingers, thought for a moment and said, "Yes, Your Highness, you have been in a coma for two days, well, more precisely, one day and seven hours." ”
"It's all because of me that Your Highness is physically exhausted. Xiao Yu realized something, and said in a low mood, "And let His Highness waste so many precious spiritual materials, please punish Your Highness." As he spoke, he fell to his knees all at once.
Dongfang Ling was taken aback by her move, and hurriedly climbed out of bed. But there was a "plop", probably because he had been lying down for too long, Dongfang Ling's feet were weak and he fell heavily to the ground.
"Your Highness, how are you? You are still very weak, and you need to lie down on the bed and rest!" said Xiao Yu, who fell into deep self-blame again. Dongfang Ling, who went back to the bed and lay down again, didn't want her to take all the responsibilities alone, so she couldn't help but distract her by saying that she couldn't help but live with guilt:
"It's nothing, my body is very strong, don't worry, I was just a little tired the day before yesterday. By the way, let's not talk about this, didn't you bring me a bowl of porridge? Hehe, I'm hungry. Xiao Yu didn't think about anything else, and concentrated on serving Dongfang Ling, with a happy face and a touch of shyness, he handed the steaming porridge in his hand to Dongfang Ling.
"Your Highness, be careful of burning. ”
Dongfang Ling's stomach rumbled out very angrily at this time, and Dongfang Ling immediately blushed to the root of his ears. Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile, but the next moment he knew that he was a little out of shape, coughed twice, adjusted his appearance, and waited quietly to the side. Dongfang Ling couldn't help but feel funny, and began to gobble up the rice porridge in his hand. Soon, a bowl of porridge was eaten by Dongfang Ling, and there was not even any residue left, Dongfang Ling licked the rice grains stuck to the corners of his mouth, gave a thumbs up, and exclaimed affirmatively:
"It's delicious! I really want to eat it again!"
Xiao Yu was very happy when he heard Dongfang Ling's praise, and said casually: "Thank you, Your Highness, if Your Highness likes it, Xiao Yu can be burned for you to eat every day." After the joy, he thought of something, and his expression suddenly darkened. Dongfang Ling was very yearning for the food made by Xiaoyu, and before he could say the word "good" to her proposal, he found that Xiaoyu's originally joyful expression became distressed, and something was suppressed in his heart.
"Xiaoyu, what's wrong, is there anything unspeakable?" Dongfang Ling sat up and looked at her suspiciously, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, who is ruthless?"
"It's okay, Your Highness, Xiao Yu just suddenly remembered something that made His Highness worried. Hehe, Your Highness is still hungry! Xiaoyu will go and make you something to eat. Oh, Your Highness, you are now in the insatorium on the island, and you can call someone for help if you have something. After speaking, Xiao Yu hurriedly ran out, although she reminded with a smile in the last few words, Dongfang Ling could feel that her mood was actually very low after the words.
Dongfang Ling took advantage of this time when there was no one, looked inward and observed his body, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no major problem. Then he began to use his spiritual power, and he was surprised to find that there were nine pale cyan spiritual lotuses around him.
"Unexpectedly, this high-speed use of the spiritual power in the sea of qi has greatly increased the spiritual power, and the biggest gain is to take his Xuanbing spiritual vein one step further. If you want to subdivide it, the spiritual vein is also divided into four levels, I remember that the last time the Xuanbing Grass made my spiritual vein enter the second level - spiritualization, and the Xuanbing Qi became Xuanbing spiritual power. But what I didn't expect was that after absorbing and assimilating that part of the cold qi, my Xuanbing spiritual power broke through to the next level - crystallization, and the current spiritual vein seemed to be thinking of a precious azurite vein. From this point of view, the master of this cold qi must not be weak, he has the same cold spirit vein as me, and the level may be higher than me. ”
Dongfang Ling smiled with satisfaction, closed his eyes and let his divine soul extend wantonly, covering an area of thousands of kilometers around his center, this area was like becoming the domain of Dongfang Ling, everything was under his observation and control. Suddenly, the figure of Xiao Yu appeared in his consciousness, and he saw her standing alone in front of the stove, sobbing secretly, very sad, but still cooking hard, Dongfang Ling knew that this was for himself. Dongfang Ling looked at the tears that were about to fall from the corners of Xiao Yu's eyes but were immediately wiped away by his blackened hand, and his heart ached faintly. Dongfang Ling moved his joints simply, and walked out of the room after regaining control of his body.
The sweaty little fish in the kitchen wiped the water droplets on his face that he didn't know whether it was tears or sweat, carefully put out the soup with a rich meaty aroma cooked in the pot, and was about to carry the bowl for His Highness, but he turned around and saw Dongfang Ling, who was leaning against the kitchen door and watching him.
There was a crisp sound, the soup spilled all over the ground, Xiaoyu looked at Dongfang Ling with a smile on his face, and finally came back to his senses after a while, hurriedly ran to Dongfang Ling's side, stretched out his hand to support, and said worriedly:
"Your Highness, why did you come out, your body hasn't ??? yet" But Dongfang Ling stopped her hand and interrupted: "I'm fine, Xiaoyu, I hope you can tell the truth, what happened." If you believe me, will you tell me?"
"Your Highness, of course I believe in you, Your Highness, it's just ????" Xiao Yu hesitated, not knowing how to speak, "Your Highness, to put it simply, in fact, I am the maid next to His Royal Highness, that is, His Highness's sister, the morning before yesterday I lost the treasure that His Royal Highness bought with a lot of money, and His Royal Highness used the power of the ice dragon soul to seriously injure me in a fit of anger. But now that my body has recovered, I will continue to take care of her by returning to Her Second Highness. ”
"But I really want to repay Your Highness, and I want to stay by Your Highness's side all the time to take care of Your Highness????" The more Xiao Yu spoke, the more sad he became, and finally he couldn't hold on crying anymore, "But??? However, those of us who are handmaidens have no status on the island of Evil Dragon, and if we do not get the approval of our master or the owner of the island, we will not only be punished, but also affect others. I don't want Your Highness to be discriminated against by other Highnesses because of me, let alone that Your Highness saved my life. ”
Dongfang Ling originally thought it was a big deal, but after knowing the truth of the matter and understanding Xiao Yu's concerns, he put his mind at ease and comforted:
"It's okay! I'll take care of this. Oh, by the way, you don't have to care so much about the incident the day before yesterday, I saved you just with my own hands, and it's not worth your retribution. Since my sister is so harsh, you will definitely have a harder time staying by her side in the future, so it is better to come to work here in the kitchen, and I think many people will like the dishes you cook. Dongfang Ling patted her shoulder, which was trembling from sobbing, to show reassurance. Dongfang Ling did not delay, and then turned around and came to the peach forest where he had talked to the island owner according to his memory.
Xiao Yu looked at Dongfang Ling's back that was not generous but made people feel unconsciously relieved and slowly disappeared, and was stunned for a while, and said slowly in a voice that only she could hear:
"Your Highness, maybe for you it's just a casual move, but for Xiaoyu, it's another new life, and the most important thing is that you gave me a chance to live. Xiaoyu, I must repay this debt that I can't pay off in this life, and Xiaoyu will only cook for His Highness in the future. Since then, he has only been with you all his life, and he is willing to work for you. ”
The island owner in the stone pavilion sat on the stone bench the day before yesterday drinking tea, and when he saw Dongfang Ling coming, he was not surprised, but smiled faintly: "I'm worried that no one will accompany me to drink tea! ”
Dongfang Ling bowed and said respectfully, "I've seen my mother." This was a surprise to the island owner: "Ha! I didn't expect you to be quite strict! But it doesn't matter here, don't be so polite, you can just call me the island master." ”
It's just that Dongfang Ling shook his head: "Respecting elders is something my parents taught me since I was a child, and I can't forget it." And Twilight will have to rely on her mother in the future. ”
"Haha, whatever you want, but before you leave, you have to chat with me for a while, as the reward I promised you to request, how about it!"
Dongfang Ling was stunned, but the next moment he understood: "It seems that nothing can escape the perception of the mother, so the child will thank the mother again." Seeing that this matter was so easy to solve, Dongfang Ling was also a little excited, obediently stepped forward and sat opposite the island owner, picked up the cup and savored the unique tea leaves of his evil dragon - the tea that was watered and grown by dragon blood.
