Capítulo 1064: Chapter 847: The Human World
Ye Jiuyou really never ate these kinds of things.
Forget about these street stalls, she’s never eaten any mortal food. Even when posing as a Li family lady or other high-status roles in past epochs, she’s never tasted those so-called high-end foods. In her eyes, these are just trash with energy almost equal to zero.
Just as she was about to refuse, a wooden skewer of cotton candy was already placed in her hand. Zhao Changhe smiled warmly: “We agreed you’d accompany to the market, so you have to fulfill the duty of a companion. I can’t just eat while you watch, can I? How’s that fair?”
Ye Jiuyou grumbled: “I haven’t refused to pay my debts yet, and you’re making more demands?”
Zhao Changhe laughed: “Hasn’t Your Highness from Jiuyou Palace always been very trustworthy as an ally?”
“Who told you I’m very trustworthy? Has anyone ever told you what the God of Chaos is like?”
“Then why were you so trustworthy with before, willing to give up other plans? Could it be because you like ?”
Ye Jiuyou almost choked on her overnight al: “Get lost!”
As she said this, she felt an inexplicable bit of guilt. She genuinely maintained such a “partner” relationship only with Zhao Changhe.
Zhao Changhe chuckled: “Ye Wuming has tried it.”
Actually, Zhao Changhe had no idea if Ye Wuming had tried it or not, but this statent worked wonders on Ye Jiuyou. Her little eyes instantly turned icy, and she stared at the cotton candy in front of her with utmost seriousness, as if looking at so great law.
Zhao Changhe laughed: “She’s experienced many things that you’re missing… from the cosmic scale to food. If you want to trace back to authenticity, this won’t do.”
Without another word, Ye Jiuyou took a bite.
Such a large piece of cotton candy, Ye Jiuyou had no idea how to eat it… she bit into it, and when she looked up, her face was covered in sugar.
Zhao Changhe burst into laughter, and Ye Jiuyou glared at him angrily.
“How does it taste?”
“It’s just that. Could it ever compare to Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?”
“No Heavenly Material or Earthly Treasure naturally possesses such rich and extracted sugar content. No one practices alchemy in this direction; it’s sothing only mortals would do.”
Ye Jiuyou fell silent, admitting that there is no natural Heavenly Material or Earthly Treasure with such sweetness, and it must be admitted it’s quite delicious… it’s just very uncomfortable when it makes one’s face sticky.
But then she noticed the stall owner and the child next to him were laughing at her, among which the stall owner uncle laughed dotingly: “What a cute couple you are, young master and miss, the young master is blessed to have such a pretty and cute wife.”
Ye Jiuyou: “?”
What couple, what cute?
“Yes, isn’t my wife adorable?” Zhao Changhe shalessly waved at the stall owner: “Thanks, uncle, we’ll co again when we can.”
Ye Jiuyou was furious: “Zhao Changhe!”
Originally, when she got angry, her montum, which could instill fear into souls, now with a face full of sugar, looked rather amusing.
Zhao Changhe smirked, naturally wiped the sugar from her mouth, and indicated: “This is how you eat it.”
Saying this, he licked it, rolling a small portion of the cotton candy onto his tongue.
Ye Jiuyou angrily said: “Was I asking you how to eat sugar?”
Zhao Changhe nonchalantly replied: “Others don’t know you, why do you care? So they say, the famous Ye Jiuyou, who claims not to care what others think and goes against the world on her own, is actually afraid of the gaze of a candy seller.”
Ye Jiuyou choked for a long ti, not knowing how to respond, wondering why this man’s crooked reasoning was so abundant.
Zhao Changhe, however, ignored her, leisurely glancing around as he strolled, happily eating his candy. Ye Jiuyou glanced at him, then at the cotton candy in her hand, and hesitantly stuck out her little tongue to lick it.
Zhao Changhe sneakily looked at her, unable to help but laugh.
Ye Jiuyou asked angrily: “Is it funny?”
Zhao Changhe laughed: “Not laughing at you.”
“Then what?”
“There…,” Zhao Changhe pointed to two plump four or five-year-old girls running across the street: “Seeing them, I laugh the sa way.”
Ye Jiuyou gave him a sidelong glance, seeing his indeed smiling face, bewildered.
What’s so funny there?
But then she saw a shifty-headed man approaching the two little girls from the side. With their keen insight and Qi perception, they both sensed the man’s ill intent. Especially through Qi perception, it was more evident than any evidence.
Zhao Changhe flicked his finger lightly, the man yelped as his knee seed to be hit by sothing, and he fell to the ground.
Struggling to his feet while propping his knee, by the ti he looked towards the little girls again, they had already joined their parents, holding onto their clothes into the crowd.
The man punched his palm in frustration, only to see a man and a woman appear before him, smiling yet not really smiling at him.
Just as he was about to speak, a palm as big as a fan slapped him viciously across the face, spinning him in the air and scattering his teeth all over the ground.
The man’s wretched cries echoed through the street, and soon onlookers gathered around. The pair of a man and woman, however, slipped into the crowd hand in hand, disappearing in a flash.
“The security in Chang’an isn’t great…” Zhao Changhe sighed while eating his now-doughnut-shaped cotton candy.
Ye Jiuyou, licking her candy beside him, said: “Shouldn’t you have turned him over to the officials, isn’t that what you’re supposed to do? Why just give him a slap and leave?”
“Why misunderstand , I’m a worldly wanderer, not an official… oh right, I guess I am a jade token holder of the Demon Suppression Departnt… forget it, anyways, Chang’an is not my responsibility right now, let’s discuss once you hand the dowry.”
Ye Jiuyou couldn’t help but laugh: “With you calling yourself a worldly wanderer now… so why didn’t the wanderer uproot the problem then?”
“After getting slapped by , he’ll have to spend the rest of his life in bed, that’s enough.” Zhao Changhe sighed: “I’m here to wander the streets with you, wasting ti on entanglents or turning him in, drawing others to watch , Zhao Changhe, what’s the point of that.”
