Chapter 191: The Second Mutation, the Sky Falcon Reemerges, Down! Down! Down! Return (First Update)_2
The young girl smiled sweetly, and a strange fragrance entered the noses of the few men, which was very pleasant. The three scholars even more so felt the girl before them was cheerful and amiable, making her approachable.
Therefore, the group of travelers immediately chose to follow the young girl.
Along the mountain path and stone steps, every so often there were stone tables and chairs built for people to rest.
On one side of the high mountain road, sat a tall youth in a brocade robe, sitting upright.
The youth had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, with nothing on him, unarmed, his strong pectoral muscles pushing up the front of his clothes as his gaze was profound.
If this person was not Yi Chen, who else could it be?
He was running towards Hidden Dragon Temple, and today as he passed by Mount Sleepy Moon, Miao Zi's nose twitched, saying there was a big find nearby, it smelled the fragrance of a spiritual medicine~
Hence, Yi Chen took Miao Zi up the mountain, letting Miao Zi dig on its own, while he rested at a nearby stone table.
"The Taoist temple's spiritual beast has taken charge early, huh~"
"Miao Zi, not bad~"
Yi Chen glanced in the direction where Miao Zi had left, and when there was no one around, he took out an illustrated Taoist scripture and started to flip through it with critique.
Within the cover page of the Taoist scripture, another universe existed, boldly capturing the sight with the eight characters: "The bamboo shoots and meat stir-fry."
As Yi Chen was immersed in his critique, a noise interrupted his reading. Yi Chen's eyebrows raised, and he saw a young lady holding an oil-paper umbrella climbing up the steps, glancing in his direction.
The young lady in white hesitated for a moment, gently stepped forward, and walked towards Yi Chen.
Whether herding four sheep or releasing five, it's all fate; she decided to have an extra meal today.
"Excuse me, sir, may I know your honorable name?"
Yi Chen has always been amicable and said elegantly, "My brothers on the road have been gracious, giving me the nickname 'Somersault Kite.' You can call me Somersault Kite, I don't even use my real name."
"Young lady, there might be villains popping up anywhere on this mountain, you must be careful."
"These days, the world is quite poor."
The young lady in white blushed with a shy smile, "How could there be so many bad people, sir, at first glance, you seem generous, a really good person. It's better to meet by chance rather than an invitation, and now that it's almost mealtime, why don't you come with me to my house for a simple meal?"
"Young lady, you're really sweet-talking me; Somersault Kite will follow you on this trip. By the way, how many people are in your family?"
"About five or six people."
"Oh, that's not a small number."
An exotic scent wafted over, and Yi Chen 'confusedly' stood up and followed the young lady in white as the group began to walk along a small path on the mountain road.
After about an hour, passing through a dense mist, an exquisite residence suddenly appeared before everyone.
The young lady in white went to the red door, gently lifted the copper ring on the door, and knocked softly: "Mother, open the door quickly, look who I have brought."
"A full five people!"
Soon after, with a creak, the door opened wide.
A beautiful woman appeared before the crowd, draped in a white fox fur and wearing a red half-breasted skirt, revealing half of her globe, very tempting.
Due to Yi Chen's tall stature, he saw even more of the scenery compared to others.
Behind her followed a black-clothed old servant and a blue-clothed crone, expressionless.
"I didn't know distinguished guests were coming. Lian'er, your father and your elder brother have gone out, they will be back soon, it's cold outside, let the guests sit inside first, we will all eat together later."
In that moment of stepping through the courtyard gate, the door creaked shut, and Ximen and the others suddenly regained their lucidity.
They only remembered that it was raining, and they followed a pretty girl called Lian'er to her house to shelter from the rain.
Ximen, Hua Zixu, and Ying Baijue saw the beauty in red, and couldn't help but widen their eyes, astonished to find such a beautiful woman in the wilderness.
The men immediately greeted the beautiful woman. Ximen, especially cunning, casually mentioned his wealth and played with a piece of jade worth a fortune that he carried with him.
Only Hua Zixu's wife had an uneasy expression. She suddenly felt something was wrong, thought for a moment, but in the end, said nothing.
"What would the guests like to eat? We don't have many choices in the wilderness, and it can't compare to the city. Don't be too hard on this humble woman." the beauty in red said with a light laugh, hiding her face behind a fan.
The ripples she caused were even more exaggerated than those of Hua Zixu's wife.
The guests hastily began to order dishes.
Hua Zixu: "Bamboo shoots and meat stir-fry."
Ying Baijue: "Oil-braised green vegetables, Mapo tofu."
Hua Zixu's wife: "Braised fox meat."
Ximen: "Whatever sister suggests is fine with me."
Yi Taoist: "Red date buns, madam, I eat a lot, I can have two of those big red date buns in one sitting."
Hearing what Yi Chen said, with a burst of laughter, Ximen, who had just taken a sip of tea, couldn't help but spray it out, causing a look of surprise from everyone. Experience tales with empire
...
...
Half an hour later, the table was completely set.
Everyone's requests were satisfied.
By then, the beauty in red's husband had also returned, short and stocky, looking somewhat dull, and next to him was a somewhat idiotic young man.
This caused Ximen's fists to involuntarily clench tight; he looked at the young lady in white, then at the beauty in red, his joy evident on his face.
"Everyone is here."
"Let's eat."
The meal was unexpectedly delicious, and the guests started to eat heartily. The beautiful woman's foolish son stared blankly, stubbornly clinging to a plate of vegetables.
"What's this?" Ximen asked with 'concern.'
"Ah, my son, he became like this after he fell and hit his head when he was little." The beautiful woman said, teary-eyed, putting down her chopsticks, looking crestfallen.
"Madam, if you don't mind, I can invite a good doctor in Yang Ancient City to treat your son." Ximen, eyeing an opportunity, couldn't help but speak up.
