"The ones you encountered during the day, they had defected from our place, and my brother sent to deal with them," Baili Ruyan said.
"You ca by yourself?" Taking on so many people alone, how dangerous is that?
Baili Ruyan nodded, knowing that Qianye was worried about her, and explained, "You were all roughed up by them today because you are not the sa kind as they are. You would need to be at least at the Divine Emperor or Divine Venerable level for your spiritual power attacks to work on them. But it’s different for , those things that they use are child’s play in my eyes, so this mission isn’t as dangerous as you think."
"Mhm." Dugu Qianye knew Baili Ruyan wasn’t one to boast. If she said she was confident, then there shouldn’t be too big a problem. But she still couldn’t help worrying and said, "I’ll co with you until you go back."
Baili Ruyan smiled and said, "It’s been a long ti since we’ve been on a mission together, and this is a rare opportunity. I really miss the old days, even though it was constantly harrowing, we always completed them successfully. I wonder if anyone has caught up to ’Dark Twin Extres’ record of zero mistakes?"
"Yeah, the ’Dark Twin Extres’ are hitting the road again, haha!" Dugu Qianye joined in.
"By the way, you said you ca looking for Fuyu Flowers, do you know where they grow?"
"Fuyu Flowers grow in a drier environnt. Zi Xiao and the others said the west side of the Secret Realm is drier, so we were heading there. I didn’t expect to run into those monsters’ ambush here. If you hadn’t co, I would have had to use Phoenix Golden Fire."
"West side?" Baili Ruyan took out a piece of jade and looked at it, saying, "Yasha and the others are also in the west, which happens to be in the sa direction you’re heading. It’s good that it’s the sa way, we’ll see if we run into Yasha and his group first or find the Fuyu Flowers first."
"Okay." Dugu Qianye agreed since they were heading the sa direction, the order didn’t matter.
"Tell more about what happened later," Baili Ruyan said.
Dugu Qianye pulled the blanket over them and said, "All right. I find the Fuyu Flowers, then go to Yuling Continent to save my cousin and others, and I also need to find my parents..."
The two of them were nestled under the sa blanket, talking until dawn.
The next morning, Dugu Qianye and Baili Ruyan got up early and packed up. Dugu Qianye even made a sumptuous breakfast. Five small dishes, and a thick bone broth porridge.
Baili Ruyan sat beside the table watching Dugu Qianye bustling about and said, "It’s been a long ti since I’ve had your cooking, I’ve missed it!"
Dugu Qianye served a bowl of the finished porridge in front of Baili Ruyan and said, "I haven’t seen your exaggerated way of eating in a long ti either."
"I want barbecue. I’ve been craving the barbecue you make." Baili Ruyan spoke and then took a sip of porridge, sighing, "Still, your cooking is the best, the chefs make it taste so bad."
"Actually, we wouldn’t starve even if we didn’t eat," Dugu Qianye took a bowl of porridge for herself and sat down beside Baili Ruyan.
"I don’t eat much at ho! But we, coming from the 21st century, have gotten used to eating every day. If I don’t eat, it just feels odd," Ruyan said. "So I’ve decided, once I get back, I’ll cultivate even harder. Once I et my brother’s requirents, I can co and go freely. Then I’ll have you cook for every day."
"Then your brother will bla to death," Dugu Qianye said.
Last night, Baili Ruyan had ntioned so things that were not related to that place. Although it wasn’t much, Dugu Qianye could still tell that her brother was very good to Baili Ruyan, which eased her worries a lot.
"Even though I’ve spent most of my ti cultivating and tempering myself since I arrived here, I still know about his antics, often dropping everything to run off and play. If he doesn’t agree, I’ll just kidnap him too, I guarantee once he cos here, he won’t want to leave. There’s no way he’ll let go back." Baili Ruyan had long seen through the true nature of her brother.
After she arrived in this world, she was sowhat cold towards him because in her previous life she had no family or friends, just Dugu Qianye as a partner. Suddenly having a brother threw her off; she didn’t know how to interact with him. Although she had accepted him in her heart, she couldn’t be as natural with him as she was with Dugu Qianye.
"It slls so good!"
Zi Xiao erged from the tent, still in a purple robe. He’d already slled the aroma from inside the tent, so he helpfully grabbed a bowl, served himself so porridge, and sat down next to Dugu Qianye to eat. After a few bites, he turned to look at Baili Ruyan and said, "Miss Ruyan, yesterday’s introduction was rather brief, so let formally introduce myself. My na is Zi Xiao, and I’m Little Yeye’s person."
"Cough, cough."
Dugu Qianye was drinking her porridge when Zi Xiao’s words made her choke and start coughing. Zi Xiao quickly reached out to pat her back and help her catch her breath, saying, "Such a grown person, and still not careful when eating."
Dugu Qianye just recovered, but Zi Xiao’s words annoyed her so much that she choked on a breath of air, coughing even more fiercely, which alard Zi Xiao and changed his expression imdiately.
"Are you all right?" Zi Xiao asked nervously.
"If you would stay away from now, I’d be much better." Finally, the coughing stopped, and Dugu Qianye glared at Zi Xiao and spat out angrily.
"That won’t do, I’m already your person, who else would I follow if not you? And you agreed to have follow you. You can’t just eat your fill and then discard , right?" Zi Xiao looked at Dugu Qianye with a pitiable expression, making her feel like she had committed so great sin.
"Hehe." Baili Ruyan couldn’t help but laugh at their antics.
In her previous life, Dugu Qianye was betrayed by her own sister and boyfriend. Although she hadn’t gotten together with them because she liked either one, it was still a painful betrayal. She hoped soone could heal Dugu Qianye’s wounds.
"Qianye, how did you manage to eat your fill and wipe your mouth clean of soone?" Baili Ruyan asked.
Dugu Qianye gave Baili Ruyan a look full of grievance, as if to say now was not the ti for her to join in the fun!
Seeing Dugu Qianye ignoring her, Baili Ruyan turned her gaze to Zi Xiao and said, "Are you and our Qianye very familiar?"
"Of course, we’re very familiar." Zi Xiao said unabashedly, his face not blushing and his heart not racing, although they had only t a few tis; he felt as if he had known her for a very long ti and was very familiar with her.
"How familiar?" Baili Ruyan didn’t look at Dugu Qianye but continued to inquire.
"I’m already her person, how familiar do you think we are?" Zi Xiao continued his tall tales.
"Cough, cough." Dugu Qianye felt a murderous impulse welling up inside her!
"Why are you seeking out our Qianye? You seem decent enough, and being so handso, you mustn’t lack for won, right?" Baili Ruyan said, aning that if he really were a playboy, she would be the first to send him flying away from Dugu Qianye.
"Not at all, I am but a fledgling! Before I t Little Yeye, I had never even touched a woman, not even held a little hand!" Zi Xiao exclaid.
