Chapter 469 Heart-piercing Pain
At night, Zhao Mu and Ji Qingyue returned with a full load.
The kitchen, which had been covered in dust for a long time, was finally put to use again.
After cleaning up the ingredients, Zhao Mu stood in front of the stove as a matter of course. As for Ji Qingyue, she became the Kitchen God. She was not good at cooking, but for a cultivator, controlling the size of the fire was still very easy, not to mention that she was born with the ability to control the power of the sun and was definitely a master at playing with fire.
It was precisely because of this that Zhao Mu had never been able to figure out why this woman would become a kitchen killer.
Call ~
Zhao Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at this familiar scene, he inexplicably missed the rich woman. If Yan Qingyue was here, he could play the little game that she taught him step by step again, and he would probably be very happy.
It's a pity that the one licking the fire under the stove is Ji Qingyue, how boring.
"By the way, when we were at the dock earlier, you said something was not right. What did you mean?"
When it comes to unfamiliar areas, Zhao Mu never makes blind judgments, but is good at listening to others. The Black Water River Basin is Ji Qingyue's home ground, and it is most appropriate to listen to her opinions given the situation in this place.
He originally thought that once the Ji family learned that the Qin family was in collusion with the Heart-Devouring Valley, the crisis facing him and Ji Qingyue would be resolved instantly.
But now it seems that this is not the case.
The Qin family did not evacuate from Chixia Island, and it was obvious that Tianxin Island was still peaceful.
Ji Xuan and Ji Xuanxuan obviously came here secretly, which means that the Ji family did not care about Ji Qingyue's safety, or that there was a problem within the Ji family.
But the next moment, Ji Qingyue gave him a completely unexpected answer.
"The current situation may be far beyond our previous expectations. It is possible that it is not only the Qin family of Tianxin Island that is colluding with the demonic sect. It is even possible that it is not just the Qin family, but also that there may be problems within the Ji family."
"Besides that, there's something amiss with Chixia Island. There might be some kind of opportunity here."
Ji Qingyue added firewood to control the fire while speaking seriously to Zhao Mu.
???
Zhao Mu's head was full of question marks, and even the hand holding the spatula stopped moving temporarily.
He could understand the first half of the sentence, because he himself had some guesses, but how could he tell that Chixia Island had an opportunity...
"You said there's an opportunity on Chixia Island?"
If you don't understand, just ask. They are not strangers. We have kissed, touched and even seen each other naked....
Bah, bah, bah, what are you thinking? It’s all a misunderstanding. But he is indeed someone I know.
"You must find it strange."
Ji Qingyue smiled and said, "It's actually very simple. Even when the Ji family is in trouble, Ji Xuanxuan can still follow Ji Xuan secretly to Chixia Island, which means there is something abnormal about this place.
The ancestor of the Ji family dotes on this little girl very much. How could those two idiots really sneak out without being noticed by the ancestor of the Ji family?
Obviously, this was tacitly approved, and for the Ji family ancestor to allow Ji Xuanxuan to do whatever she wanted at this time, this Chixia Island must be something special. After all, every time Ji Xuanxuan was allowed to go out, she would more or less get some opportunities.
Got it!
Zhao Mu finally understood that the key lies in the naive Ji Xuanxuan.
"If Chixia Island really has an opportunity, then more people will probably come here one after another, and it will become much easier for us to leave during the chaos."
The ancestor of the Ji family was able to get the news in advance, and the people from other forces would probably not be much behind.
"Well, it's going to get pretty messy."
Ji Qingyue nodded in agreement, "It can indeed create a good opportunity for us to leave."
"If it's a good thing, why have you been in a bad mood all the way?"
"I'm worried about the Ji family, or more precisely, our lineage of the Ji family."
“…”
Zhao Mu was silent. He had heard Duanmu Ling mention the dispute between the two branches of the Ji family before. Although she didn't say much, he could tell from her tone that the dispute between the two branches was far more serious than he had imagined.
The Qinghe lineage has been suppressed by the Tianqing lineage for tens of thousands of years. Now it seems that the inside story of the Qin family's collusion with the demonic sect may be much more complicated than he imagined.
This time, it is not just a battle between good and evil, but the more terrifying thing is the internal struggle within the Ji family.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for so long, I still had to rely on myself to escape from danger.
Fortunately, since the two of them connected their souls and successfully passed the secret method to Ji Qingyue, their danger is no longer great. In a month or so, Ji Qingyue's injuries will be healed. As long as the chaos is over, it should be easy for them to leave this place.
I just don’t know when the opportunity that Ji Qingyue guessed will appear.
Almost an hour later.
The stove fire went out, and several delicious dishes were placed on the table in the courtyard. They were all fresh fish from the Black Water River, including some from fifth-level monsters.
Ji Qingyue took a look, took two bites, then looked up at Zhao Mu and asked with some confusion: "The steps are obviously similar, why is yours so delicious, while mine is not..."
Zhao Mu shrugged slightly and said, "You are confused, and I am curious too."
All I can say is that things like kitchen killers cannot be treated with common sense.
"Drink?"
Zhao Mu raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Row!"
Ji Qingyue nodded.
Zhao Mu's original intention was to take out the wine himself. After all, he had deliberately collected some good wine in order to deceive Old Man Qi. As a result, Ji Qingyue took out a jar from the Qiankun Ring first. After opening the seal of the jar, a faint aroma of wine came out, which could even make people's breath fluctuate.
"What kind of wine is this?"
Zhao Mu asked with a little curiosity. He felt that the ones he collected were not as good as this one, so he immediately gave up the intention of showing off.
"Peach Blossom Wine."
"Peach blossom stuffing?"
"Ok!"
Under Zhao Mu's puzzled gaze, Ji Qingyue continued, "It's brewed with the peach blossoms of an eighth-level peach blossom demon. It has a mellow taste and a refreshing fragrance. It's one of my favorite wines."
“…”
Zhao Mu was stunned. It was brewed by an eighth-level peach blossom demon. No wonder his brew was no match for it.
Ji Qingyue seemed to be in a good mood and took the initiative to pour a bowl of wine for Zhao Mu. "Try it. The alcohol is not too strong and it tastes quite soft. I don't know if you like this kind of mild wine."
Zhao Mu took a sip, his eyes shining slightly, and praised with a smile: "Not bad, I like it too."
"As long as you like it."
Ji Qingyue smiled slightly and refilled Zhao Mu's glass of wine.
After half an hour, the two were full of food and drink. Because of the ingredients, the energy contained in the river fish made by Zhao Mu was naturally not as terrible as those in the fishing basket, but eating them could warm the body and have a slight tonic effect.
The really amazing one is Ji Qingyue’s Peach Blossom Wine.
The two of them drank a whole jar of wine and felt hot all over. Fortunately, there was nothing added to the wine, otherwise they would have had their wedding night tonight.
Slightly tipsy, Zhao Mu waved his hand and prepared to go back to the house to rest. "Good night."
"OK, good night!"
Ji Qingyue stood up from the chair, stretched his waist slightly, outlining a perfect arc in the moonlight, and then prepared to go back to rest.
But just at this moment, a sudden scream rang out.
"Uh~"
Turning around, I saw Zhao Mu suddenly covering his heart and kneeling on one knee on the ground.
"what happened to you?"
Ji Qingyue hurried over and found that Zhao Mu's brows were almost wrinkled into a "川" shape, and he was obviously in great pain.
