Seeing Ling'er looking at him like this, Xu Qing was surprised.
"What's wrong, Ling'er?"
"It's nothing." Ling'er blushed and ran to Xu Qing's side. She grabbed his arm and said softly.
"Brother Xu Qing, let's go out for a walk, okay?"
Xu Qing looked at the sky. At that mont, it was noon outside. Hence, he nodded and walked out of the house with Ling'er, strolling around the city.
Throughout the journey, Ling'er was joyful, bouncing around Xu Qing like a child. Her adorable deanor brought smiles to the residents of the city who saw her.
So households even brought out their own food, and as Ling'er walked by, she greeted everyone with joy and enjoyed the food offered to her.
Looking at Ling'er's innocent appearance, Xu Qing smiled.
As they walked, they passed through streets and avenues, eventually arriving at the school.
Today's lesson in the school was still about plants and vegetation. As the voice rang out, Xu Qing stopped in his tracks and looked over.
The school was open to all. All the children in the city could co over to listen to the lesson. The person talking about the plants was a middle-aged woman. She had lost her lower body and was sitting in a wheelchair, teaching solemnly.
The children in the surroundings were seven to eight years old and the oldest was 13 to 14 years old. They listened attentively, especially the little girl. Her eyes were wide open as she listened and took notes, completely absorbed in the lesson.
This little girl was Shi Pangui's sister.
Looking at these children, Xu Qing thought of himself at the scavenger campsite. At that ti, he was also extrely serious after obtaining Grandmaster Bai's approval.
He watched for a long ti before leaving with light steps.
Ti passed day by day and another half a month passed.
Out of the three months of heavenly fire crossing the sky, Xu Qing stayed in the first level of the tomb for a month and a month in this city.
He didn't like crowds, so he spent most of his ti silently cultivating in his house. However, Ling'er couldn't stay idle. In the beginning, she would beg Xu Qing to go with her. Later on, after she beca familiar with the residents of the city, she would run out in a hurry every day.
Although he wasn't too worried that anything would happen to Ling'er, Xu Qing still arranged for the Diamond Sect's ancestor to follow her.
Ling'er's popularity far surpassed Xu Qing's in this city. This was especially so after Shi Pangui's wife introduced her. She got to know many older sisters and aunties.
These people all liked her very much and were also curious about her relationship with Xu Qing.
Every ti this happened, Ling'er would blush shyly.
So, the older sisters and aunts began imparting various thods to her. So advised her to learn how to cook, saying that to capture a man's heart, one must start by winning his stomach.
Ling'er was tempted and studied seriously.
Others told her that as a woman, she should be skilled in sewing and nding. Her man should not wear clothes patched by others. This advice further piqued Ling'er's interest.
She was prepared to make all of Brother Xu Qing's clothes herself in the future.
And so, on the fifth day after Ling'er started learning to cook, Xu Qing tasted her cooking for the first ti in his life. She worked diligently for over two hours and finally prepared a few dishes for him.
Looking at the pitch-black vegetables, Xu Qing looked at Ling'er's expectant and apprehensive eyes as he took a bite.
He chewed carefully and swallowed slowly.
"Brother Xu Qing, how is it? Does it taste good?"
Ling'er was nervous.
Xu Qing fell silent. After a long ti, he smiled.
"Delicious."
Ling'er was happy.
"Then, Brother Xu Qing, eat more."
Xu Qing hesitated and finally ate them all. Just as he was about to ditate, Ling'er excitedly spoke.
"Brother Xu Qing, I'll cook tomorrow as well."
Xu Qing fell silent for a few more breaths before nodding.
Ling'er wasn't the only one who was popular in this city. After the Diamond Sect's ancestor took human form, he slowly gained everyone's recognition. In fact, he even surpassed Ling'er in popularity.
The reason for all of this was when he passed by a storytelling venue while protecting Ling'er. He overheard the storyteller inside speaking endlessly, and feeling disdainful, he decided to take human form and recite a book he had read before.
To the people in the Moon Worship Region, what the Diamond Sect's ancestor said was extrely refreshing, especially since the Diamond Sect's ancestor had mixed up so events that had happened to Xu Qing.
This made his recitation even more vivid, and it received continuous applause and approval from the audience.
Initially, there were quite a few listeners, and as ti went on, the audience grew day by day. The Diamond Sect's ancestor had been by Xu Qing's side for a long ti, constantly on edge, and he hadn't experienced such adoration in a while.
So, feeling a bit restless, he secretly went to the storytelling venue several tis while Ling'er was learning to cook and sew.
For example, at this mont, he sat in a long pavilion surrounded by hundreds of people.
Looking at everyone, the Diamond Sect coughed and calmly spoke.
"In our last storytelling session, the Seven Blood Eyes sent out tens of thousands of magic boats, encircling the rfolk Island."
"That ancestor of the rfolk Island is not a good person. He…"
The Diamond Sect's ancestor narrated with great skill, enrapturing everyone. His voice rose and fell, easily drawing people into the story. Even Duanmu Zang, who was hidden in mid-air, nodded in approval as he listened.
When dusk arrived and the blue curtain in the sky dimd, the Diamond Sect's ancestor paused and coughed lightly.
"To know what happens next, please tune in next ti. Tomorrow at this ti, I'll be here to continue."
The crowd was eagerly listening to the crucial mont, and upon hearing those words, they imdiately beca anxious, erupting in a chorus of excitent.
"Ah, please finish this part."
"Short, this is extrely short!"
"What did I hear all afternoon? I can't rember anything!"
"No, let's go another round. How can it stop here!"
