Chapter 35: Meatballs
The sound effect of "Dudulu" to complete the quest sounds, indicating that the side quest to fight the red squid has been completed.
Only then did Su Rongrong confirm that this red pig was really dead, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and beckoned Qi Yuanming to come down from the top of the red pig.
However, Qi Yuanming didn't seem to be perceiving the dynamics of the outside world, Ren Su Rongrong greeted him a few times, but his eyes were blank, and he blindly slashed and stabbed.
Su Rongrong looked at it and sighed in her heart, with her years of experience immersed in girl's comics and novels, Qi Yuanming had entered the state of a berserker.
To put it in layman's terms, it is because of the single-mindedness of winning, he temporarily loses his mind and only instinctively attacks the object he sees in his eyes.
There are usually three reasons for this state: one is to fight a strong enemy who threatens his life, the second is to kill and injure his loved ones, and the third is to take the initiative to burst out his potential to fight a tough battle with a very low chance of winning like Qi Yuanming, but his body can't bear it, and his reason is eroded by the primitive fighting instinct.
In this regard, various literary works have also given solutions: in male-oriented works, this is mostly on the verge of going mad, if it is the protagonist, don't care about him, let him carry it and then the strength rises, if it is a male partner, then the festival is sad and changeable;
Su Rongrong thought for a while, took a deep breath, raised his hand to play a few water dragon techniques, and directly blasted Qi Yuanming off the top of the red pig's head.
Ahem, I'm sorry, my sister is a Virgo who is both afraid of death and realistic.
There is no way, Su Rongrong doesn't know if she has a "heroine halo", and she can't determine whether Qi Yuanming is a "male lead" or a "male partner", so she simply poured cold water to calm him down.
Qi Yuanming was suddenly attacked and fell to the ground, but he didn't come back to his senses, he grabbed the stone in his hand, turned over and got up, and wanted to look for a new enemy.
Su Rongrong hurriedly distanced himself from him, and the water dragon technique smashed over. Qi Yuan used all his strength tomorrow morning, all supported by a fighting spirit, and now he was smashed and fainted.
Su Rongrong sighed, walked over and adjusted Qi Yuanming's comfortable lying position, so that he could rest well.
I wanted to feed him some spiritual food or elixir, but I didn't know if he was a mortal or an immortal cultivator, and I was worried that the mortal body that had not cultivated would explode and die, so I didn't dare to act rashly.
Speaking of which, the second prince Qi Yuanming, who has been bullied since he was a child and has not died, is really likely to be an immortal cultivator, otherwise it is difficult to explain his power to slaughter the red pig. Moreover, the physique of immortal cultivators is better than ordinary people, he is still sick in swaddling clothes, but now he can jump around lively, which is also very similar to the benefits brought by cultivating immortals.
But now is not the time to talk about this, as soon as Su Rongrong got Qi Yuanming, he excitedly ran to the corpse of the red pig, and used the system's own [hunting] skill to disassemble its scale armor and flesh.
The system shows that this red squid is a second-order demon beast, and its flesh and blood contain rich spiritual energy, if it can be made into spiritual food, it must be a great supplement. It's a pity that after she crossed over, everything returned to the original point, and the spirit cooking skills could not be used, so she could only use mortal cooking techniques to make a few miscellaneous food boxes. Despite this, the food box made from rare demon beast meat is definitely worth a taste.
The system was activated, and the huge carcass of the red pig was instantly divided into ten pieces of meat and stored into the backpack panel. Su Rongrong didn't stop for a moment, and then cooked these pieces of meat into food boxes. Because there is a lot of meat, the amount of food box is also very large, and one box contains dozens of red pork meatballs.
"Are you okay?" As soon as the food box was ready, Qi Yuanming woke up and turned around, he looked around blankly, still looking for the trace of the red pig, "Where did the red pig go?"
Su Rongrong stared at his eyes for a long time, making sure that his eyes were clear and his mind was clear, and he should be out of a state of frantic battle, so he breathed a sigh of relief, handed over a food box full of meatballs, and said with a smile: "The red pig is here, I said I would cook meat for you to eat." ”
Qi Yuanming opened his mouth wide, his face was incredulous, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Velvet, you are so neat, you have made it into a food box!"
In his consciousness, one second he was still struggling with blood, and the next moment he saw that his prey had become a meal on his plate. He looked around, but there was no trace of a fire, how did she cook the meatballs in such a short time?
"This is a trade secret!" Su Rongrong accepted his praise with a grin, and consciously regarded the convenience of the system as his own strength. Seeing that Qi Yuanming didn't move her chopsticks for a long time, she picked up a meatball and sent it to Qi Yuanming's mouth and said, "Thanks to your hard work to kill the red pig, we have to eat, and the great hero hurry up and taste the first bite." ”
Qi Yuanming was stunned, and was stunned when he looked at Su Rongrong's movements, is this feeding?
A warm current suddenly surged in his heart, since the death of the old palace maid in the cold palace, no one had ever been so close to him. His eyes were a little moist, he quickly lowered his head, bit the meatball and chewed it slowly, his heart was mixed.
Su Rongrong didn't think about it so much, he fed Qi Yuanming the first bite, handed him the food box with chopsticks, and then took out another food box and ate it happily. Well, it tastes so good!
In fact, the feeding behavior is indeed quite ambiguous, but Su Rongrong has a wonderful feeling of nostalgia in the tacit understanding with the somewhat childish Qi Yuanming for a day and a night, just like a little friend and good partner who grew up together as a child, so he is very calm in his heart.
Su Rongrong was eating, and remembered Qi Yuanming's loss of control, so he chatted with him: "Hey, Xiao Ming, are you also an immortal cultivator? ”
Qi Yuanming ate with relish in his hand and gradually returned to his usual smiling appearance: "No one has taught me to cultivate immortals, I just know how to do swordsmanship, and it is thanks to your spells to kill it." ”
Su Rongrong shook his head, with a look of disbelief: "Impossible! That's a second-order demon beast, mortals can hardly hurt it in the slightest." Moreover, you can use a stone to produce sword qi, which is by no means the realm of ordinary people. ”
Qi Yuanming didn't think so, he bit the meatballs one bite after another, and finally took the time to reply: "You think too much, people like me can't be as powerful as you." You see I hit me twice and then fell to the ground, and when I woke up, you had cooked all the food. ”
Su Rongrong didn't tell him that it was her masterpiece that he fell to the ground, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and suddenly pointed at him and shouted: "By the way, I have proof! Mortals can't eat spirit fruits and demon beast meat, otherwise the spirit energy will collide in the body, and you will explode and die, but you are obviously fine!"
Qi Yuanming was also stunned, stopped his chopsticks, and muttered, "Is there such a saying?" But I have been digging wild vegetables in Wantenggou since I was a child, and I have never been abnormal. ”
Su Rongrong was speechless for a while, digging wild vegetables since childhood, are you really a prince? After thinking about it, he confirmed his guess even more: "I understand, just because you have eaten the spiritual plants in this space since you were a child, your physique has improved, so not only is there no sickness, but you also have strength that ordinary people do not have." ”
Qi Yuanming was skeptical, but he had never been in contact with other immortal cultivators before, and he didn't know if Su Rongrong was right. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "You mean, I'm the same monk as you?"
Su Rongrong was not sure at this time, she herself was a law cultivator, and Lu Bo was a physical cultivator, but Qi Yuanming was different from them, his ruthlessness did not come from spiritual power or true yuan, but from skilled and sharp sword moves.
Wait, sword moves?
Su Rongrong suddenly realized, slapped his palm and shouted: "Xiao Ming, you may be a sword cultivator! Entering the Tao with swordsmanship and comprehending the principles of heaven and earth in the way of the sword is a branch of instrument cultivation, and it is the strongest attack power in the immortal cultivation school!"
Qi Yuanming looked very excited when he saw Su Rongrong, but he was stunned when he heard it, although he didn't understand it very well, but it seemed to be very powerful. He put down his chopsticks and thought seriously for a moment, then his eyes darkened again, and he responded with a smile: "That's it." ”
Su Rongrong's smile paused, what, didn't it mean that the Xiazhou Continent admired immortal cultivators very much, why was he so calm?
Thinking about it again, he thought of his previous views on cultivating immortals and his views on life, and he said that how long he could live was not up to him. It seems that the young man who always loves to laugh, but the words he says are full of desolation.
If Lu Bo is born without love, Qi Yuanming is pessimistic in his bones.
Su Rongrong is not a psychology major, and there are few ways to deal with pessimistic people in literary works, so she can only mumble dissatisfiedly: "Shouldn't you be happier, you should jump up or something when you say 'it's great', after all, you are a powerful sword cultivator! It is a realm that many mortals can't reach in a lifetime." ”
Qi Yuanming smiled faintly, but asked her rhetorically: "Can cultivating immortals have status and happiness? Can cultivating immortals live freely? You are also an immortal cultivator, but you are going to be placed under house arrest in this deep palace, can you escape from this boring world?"
Su Rongrong was speechless, and he couldn't refute it for a while.
Yes, even the third major general of Zhenguo, who has cultivated immortals since childhood, cannot escape mundane affairs, and he can't withstand conspiracy and calculation, and in the end he is still caught in the palm of his hand.
Although this is only a mortal realm, but when you reach the realm of cultivating immortals, will there be anything out of the dust? No, even if it is the cultivation of immortals by the whole people, there are still various hierarchies, sophistication, unfair treatment, and transactions that do not see the light.
For a time, Su Rongrong also fell into a pessimistic whirlpool.
Although Qi Yuanming had the upper hand in words, he couldn't be happy, thinking about his cultivation of immortals, and seeing that Su Rongrong was depressed because of his words, he couldn't help but feel bored, and gradually had difficulty breathing, and his thinking was stagnant.
When Su Rongrong came back to his senses, he found that Qi Yuanming had fallen to the ground, his face was covered with unnatural flushing, and he was tugging at the placket of his clothes, as if he couldn't breathe.
Surprised for a moment, Su Rongrong reacted suddenly, it must be the spiritual power in the flesh of the red squid that was rioting in his body.
After all, Qi Yuanming had never been exposed to the theory of cultivating immortals, even if he had taught himself to cultivate swords by mistake, he didn't know how to operate the mind to channel aura.
And Su Rongrong's only mental method is Rong'er's "Little Five Spiritual Formula", which was already used by her when she was studying, and it is impossible to pull it out of the system and teach him.
