472 Cross-Border Teleportation (1)
“I’ll go!”
Song Shi nodded without hesitation. He was not afraid of life-threatening danger. People would die the mont he saw the mission. He had to take a look.
“Then I’ll help you apply to go with the cultivators recruited by the Vermilion Bird Palace.”
Huo Yan took out her token and closed her eyes to communicate for a mont. Then, she said, “It’s a little urgent this ti. We have to set off in a day. At that ti, we have to check your identity. If there’s no problem, we can teleport to the Mystic North Continent imdiately.”
“Alright, sorry to trouble you.”
Song Shi thanked her. This matter should not have much to do with Huo Yan but the other party rembered him and treated him as a friend.
“If there’s a chance to co back in the future, I’ll treat you.”
Huo Yan smiled.
“I’d like that.”
Song Shi knew that the probability of returning was not high. Not to ntion the distance, even if he was thrown out of the Land of Demon Refinent again, it would be very difficult for him to land nearby.
Huo Yan walked over and opened the incense burner. She took out the spices and placed them inside. She lit the extinguished incense burner again, and a faint purple smoke spread.
In the fragrant fog, her graceful figure was faintly discernible. She turned her head and looked at Song Shi with a strange expression. “My husband died a thousand years ago. He died on a patrol. He was also a Heaven Patrolling Guards.”
“Oh, my fellow comrade. Did the demons do it?”
Song Shi did not seem to see the different emotions in Huo Yan’s eyes.
“Yes, a demon possessed another Heaven Patrolling Guards and ambushed him to death.”
Huo Yan gritted his teeth. “I still haven’t found that demon!”
“He might have been beaten to death.”
Song Shi could not help but think of a similar fellow he had t.
“If you’re willing to avenge , I can follow you.”
Huo Yan took a step forward and her face turned red.
“I’m not very interested in you. You don’t have to follow just because I’m rich.”
Song Shi shook his head and refused.
“I understand.”
Huo Yan smiled readily. “It’s a pity that I haven’t liked a man for a long ti. In the end, I didn’t have the chance to develop our relationship.”
“That’s right. If I stay with you for too long, I might really lose my virginity.”
Song Shi teased.
“If I can’t fight you and win, I’ll make you lose your virginity.”
Huo Yan snorted and turned to leave.
“The foreign races are really direct.”
Song Shi could not help but laugh, but then he could not laugh anymore.
He suddenly realized sothing.
n had to be careful when they were outside. If they were not strong enough, they might be captured as husbands.
He took out his token and activated it, but there was no reaction. He could not communicate with the artifact spirit assigned by the Vermilion Bird Palace.
“At the end of the day, the palaces are still isolated from each other.”
Song Shi did not try again and could only follow Huo Yan tomorrow.
Just as he was about to cultivate for a day to accept the recruitnt, Huo Yan knocked on the door after cultivating for half a day.
“Don’t be so polite. This is your place.”
Song Shi opened his eyes.
“I saw you cultivating and was afraid that you would suffer from Qi Deviation.”
Huo Yan opened the door and smiled playfully at Song Shi. “There’s nothing I can send you off with. So I made you a al before you left.”
“You know how to cook.”
Song Shi was surprised. “An otherworldly fairy can actually enter the kitchen?”
“Of course. I was a married woman.”
Huo Yan placed her hands on his hips and said fiercely, “Let’s go. I haven’t cooked in a long ti.”
“Then I’ll have to try your cooking.”
Song Shi followed Huo Yan to the dining room with interest. The table was already filled with all kinds of dishes, mainly ho-cooked dishes.
Song Shi was surprised to find that most of them were human food. “Does your Vermilion Bird Tribe eat these too?”
“Of course not, but your human recipes are quite famous. They’re widely circulated amongst the various races. I used to make these dishes in the past.”
Huo Yan handed the chopsticks to Song Shi. “Try it.”
Song Shi took a bite of the simplest scrambled egg and humd. “Not bad. It tastes like ho.”
“Of course. My cooking thod is different from the chefs in the restaurants outside.”
Huo Yan was even happier after being praised. She said happily, “Try this vinegar stir fry cabbage.”
“You eat too. You don’t have to be so polite.”
Song Shi pointed to the side. “Aren’t your children here?”
“No, I told them to stay in the Flowing Light Continent. It’s safer and more convenient down there. It’s getting more and more dangerous here.”
Huo Yan sat down and explained her situation, “In the past thousand years, the Demon Race has been moving around more and more frequently. In the past, the benefits outweighed the risks. Now, it’s not necessarily the case.
Song Shi nodded. “The first ti I accepted a special Quest, I encountered a trap set up by the demons. The probability of encountering danger is indeed high.”
“It’s not that high. You’re just unlucky.” Huo Yan smiled and said, “I’ve patrolled for three hundred years and guarded for more than a thousand years. I’ve only t the demons twelve tis. On average, I’ve t them less than once every ten years.”
“Maybe I’m just lucky?”
Song Shi thought for a mont. “Luck to keep encountering misfortune.”
Huo Yan chuckled. “Then I don’t recomnd you to accept this recruitnt. What if you’re unlucky and encounter a trap?”
“It’s fine. I like being trapped. I hope there’s a surprise this ti.”
Song Shi did not care.
Huo Yan thought that Song Shi was joking and changed the topic. “I still don’t know where your hotown is.”
The two of them chatted as they ate. Ti passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was ti to set off.
Huo Yan stood up and waved her hand. The pots and pans imdiately flew up. Under her Nomological power, they were automatically washed clean. The leftovers were reduced to ashes under the flas. She was extrely efficient in cleaning up.
“Let’s go to the Teleportation Hall.”
Huo Yan led the way, and they flew directly to a half-open palace.
