Chapter 85 Daily Life
Chapter 85 Daily Life
The sun shines as usual on the land of Chizhou, and the people of Chizhou begin another busy day.
"Waiter, another basket of steamed buns! No, two baskets!"
Jian Muyi had a whole steamed bun stuffed in his mouth, and his speech was muffled, but the waiter still understood him. Just now, this group of customers had finished five baskets of steamed buns. He remembered that his steamed buns weren't that delicious. He had to be careful that these people didn't get too full, otherwise, who would he complain to?
Xue Xin and the others were wolfing down their food nearby. Although Chu Yeli's eating manners weren't as unsightly, he unusually refrained from mocking Jian Muyi and the others, because he was also extremely hungry.
"Hey you guys, what did you do last night? You looked like you were starving ghosts reincarnated!"
Meng Tingde couldn't bear to watch any longer and wished he didn't know these people. Shen Yan hadn't had a hot meal for several days and was silently shoveling porridge into his bowl.
After finishing the porridge in his bowl, Luo Zai Shui's stomach finally warmed up: "We've almost resolved things here in Chizhou. We'll send someone over to handle the rest."
Shen Yan paused, swallowed what was in his mouth, and understood the implication in her words: "You're leaving already?"
Jian Muyi mumbled, "Yes, we should have left long ago. If it weren't for this incident, we would have returned to the sect long ago."
Ji Tinghan shoved a steamed bun into Jian Muyi's mouth impatiently and said, "Even eating can't shut you up. Go eat your food."
A strange emotion welled up in Shen Yan's heart, but he was happy because Luo Zai Shui and they were on the same path.
"Ah, you're leaving already? I was just about to ask my father for some rewards, or maybe I could build you a temple?" Meng Tingde's words almost made Chu Yeli choke.
“We don’t need to build a temple.” Chu Yeli took a sip of tea to calm his nerves. “We’re still alive, and we don’t need worldly things.”
Luo Zai Shui finished eating first: "You guys keep eating, I'm going to check on my senior brother."
Upon hearing this, Ji Tinghan wanted to follow, but Xue Xin grabbed him, saying, "You lost a lot of spiritual energy last night, so eat more."
Ji Tinghan was speechless. "Why are you pulling me like that?"
Xue Xin pretended not to see it, stuffed a steamed bun into his hand, and said, "Your senior brothers and sisters rarely have time to be alone together, why are you going to join in the fun?"
Completely out of the loop, Jian Muyi asked in bewilderment, "Senior Sister isn't going to eat anymore?"
Chu Yeli chuckled: "Alright, you guys eat slowly, there's no rush. We have to wait until your senior brother wakes up before we can continue our journey."
"Oh, that's true."
Su Wusi was completely out of it; the porridge in her bowl was almost cold, but she didn't touch it.
Ye Xiao was the first to notice her unusual behavior: "Junior Sister Su, is this porridge not to your liking?"
Xue Xin also noticed that his junior sister seemed to be daydreaming: "Junior sister, are you feeling unwell?"
"Junior Sister?"
Xue Xin called her twice before Su Wusi came back to her senses.
"Junior Sister, what's wrong? Why do you look so listless?"
Su Wusi forced a smile and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired. You guys take your time eating, I'll go back to my room and rest for a while."
"it is good."
When Luo returned to the guest room, Shi Ming was already awake. She helped him up, poured him a glass of warm water, and handed it to him. For a moment, the two of them were speechless.
"Junior sister, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Luo Zai Shui threw herself into his arms without saying a word and gently closed her eyes.
"That was too risky... Senior Brother, you really... almost..."
The two men knew very well that if Xie Jing hadn't intervened last night, their chances of survival would have been slim, but if they hadn't acted, many more innocent people would have suffered.
Shi Ming patted her back gently: "It's alright now, it's alright, don't worry."
"Um……"
Luo was really tired in the water, and in such a quiet environment, she fell asleep without realizing it. When she woke up again, it was already noon.
"Senior sister, are you awake? We should get going!"
Su Wusi's voice came from outside the door, and Luo Zaishui then realized that this was Shi Ming's room.
She actually fell asleep in her senior brother's room, really.
But where is the eldest brother?
Now was indeed not the time to look for Shi Ming, but she felt a little embarrassed to face her junior sister directly right now, so she could only say, "I'm awake. You can go down first. I'll get ready and come right away."
Luo covered her slightly flushed cheeks, feeling somewhat regretful.
When she came downstairs, the others were already waiting, mainly because everyone had come and gone in a hurry and hadn't had much to pack.
However, the way some of them were watching the show was too obvious, especially Chu Yeli, whose gaze kept shifting between her and Shi Ming, his mocking eyes sweeping back and forth. Besides them, there were also those kids, whose malicious looks were really annoying. They'll have to practice more when they get back.
Fortunately, Luo Zai Shui herself had no psychological burden. She skillfully took Su Wu Si's hand and said, "Let's go, it's time to go back."
Su Wusi was still in a daze, but he looked much better than in the morning, so Xue Xin didn't ask any questions. He just silently pinched Ji Tinghan's thigh and reminded him, "Let's go."
Ji Tinghan, wincing in pain, gasped and slapped the other side without hesitation. Jian Muyi, whose life had been saved by Xue Xin in this battle, quickly joined the fray, causing chaos in the scene.
Shen Yan and Meng Tingde were dumbfounded; this was how they usually interacted.
Hearing the commotion behind her, Luo Zai Shui felt a headache coming on. She couldn't help but remind her, "Let's go. Master is still waiting for us. Junior Sister is definitely the most worry-free."
Upon hearing this, the three immediately quieted down, while Su Wusi gave a relieved smile: "Thank you, Senior Sister."
Luo Zai Shui, confused, asked, "Thank me for what?"
Su Wusi gently shook her hand: "There are so many things I need to thank, like the compliment you just gave me, and..."
You are still alive, and everyone else is still alive.
"Just your sweet mouth."
Luo Zai Shui smiled and tapped Su Wu Si's forehead before continuing on their way, while Shi Ming, walking behind her, looked somewhat resentful.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I thought something was going to happen between you two." With that smug tone, Shi Ming admitted that he was itching to hit him.
After a while, Shi Ming gave Chu Yeli a meaningful smile, and then caught up with Luo Zaishui.
"No, what do you mean by that?"
Chu Yeli felt that there was something between the two of them that he didn't know, but Shi Ming wouldn't say, which made Chu Yeli anxious and frustrated.
With only Ye Xiao left by her side, Chu Yeli, in desperation, grabbed him and asked, "Wait, what does he mean? Did it work out or not?"
Ye Xiao returned the same smile and then caught up with the main group.
"No, are you two teaming up to mess with me?"
