Kim Man-sung frowned. During the time when the ship disappeared, he had sent out men to search for it, but there was no trace of it. How could it suddenly appear again?
He looked at Xu Xian carefully, trying to find some clues on his face.
However, Xu Xian only had a "trust me" smile on his face and did not explain anything!
Kim Man-sung gritted his teeth and said, "Since you are so confident, I will go back and prepare. We will still have a banquet at Sunrise Tower. I hope that you will come to support us when the time comes." With that, he bid farewell and left.
Once again passing through the secluded courtyard, they arrived outside the gatehouse. Xu Xian smiled and said goodbye to them, closing the heavy wooden door with a squeak.
Kim Sung-ho whispered to Kim Man-sung, "Father, this Xu Xian's words are vague and strange. Will the ship really come back tomorrow?
He said he went out to sea some time ago, but with his reputation, if he found a ship to go out to sea, why didn't we hear any news? "
Kim Man-sung shook his head slightly, "At least he has not lied to me. Whether he went out to sea or not is none of our business. Quickly spread the news and prepare for tomorrow!"
How could he not see that Xu Xian was strange? Not only Xu Xian, but the entire Xu Residence was strange!
The deserted courtyard, the spotless parlor, the beautiful and elegant woman, and even the woman's illogical behavior, all fell into his eyes. Moreover, he heard that Xu Xian had two wives and concubines, but where were they?
But this was none of his business. People who wanted to get to the bottom of things were never well-liked. The most important thing now was to solve the current crisis and problem.
After boarding the carriage and leaving, he lifted the curtains and took another look. Under the golden plaque of the Xu Residence, there was a pair of stone lions standing majestically with their claws raised.
"Why didn't you just tell them that we saw the ship at sea? Wouldn't that solve the problem?" Xiaoqing said a series of words like frying beans.
Xu Xian smiled and said, "Then there's no need for him to ask. How did we travel back and forth so quickly, and how did we save that ship?
I couldn't tell him that the person standing in front of him wasn't Xu Xian, but a deity!
If I were to lie, there would be even more loopholes and it would arouse suspicion. That's why I used this divine skill. "
Xiaoqing curled her lips at "Husband" and asked curiously, "What divine skill?"
"No explanation!"
"Tsk!"
Xu Xian pondered for a moment. Kim Man-sung was a reasonable person. If he did not explain, Kim Man-sung would not ask any more questions. At most, he would make guesses in his mind. However, guesses would never lead to a conclusion. Even if he did guess, he would still have doubts.
He finally understood why those deities loved to be deliberately mystifying. It was because the word "mystifying" was the best cover.
Xu Xian saw that Xiaoqing's skin was pale and rosy. It was obvious that she could not bear the heat. He said with concern, "Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. Let's spend the night in the mountains!" Although it was not that she could not stay in the human world, there was no need for her to endure it here.
"If you want to find them, then go. Why do you care about me!" Xiaoqing's expression was a little unnatural.
"That's true. The Dragon Boat Festival emphasizes on eliminating the five poisons. My Qing 'er is one of the five poisons. She should be swept out of the house."
Xu Xian's teasing made Xiaoqing angry. He had to coax her again before he stopped. However, after he coaxed her, she found that she had unknowingly fallen into his arms again.
Xu Xian saw that there was a little sweat on her face. It was really "fragrant sweat". The fragrance around her body was even stronger. Even the large flower bush in the garden could not compare to it. It attracted many butterflies to surround her body.
In his previous life, he had heard of the so-called "fragrant concubine" and was envious. But now, it seemed that he could not compare to her.
He stretched out his hand and used his sleeve to gently wipe away the sweat on her face. "Let's go to the mountains and find a valley. We can enjoy the mountain breeze, make dumplings, look at the flowers and admire the moon. Wouldn't that be great?
My wife can't come. Don't tell me you want to abandon me? "Seeing that her complexion was even brighter, he said that her skin was" delicate and fragile ". The ancients did not deceive him!
Xiaoqing leaned into his arms. Seeing his gentle expression and hearing his warm voice, she felt her body soften and her heart was filled with honey.
Compared to the teasing of his hands, she could not compare to this gentleness.
"I … I can go. But you can't treat me like this again. I don't want to be a joke to them. If you promise me, I will go!"
Xu Xian secretly laughed. Yun Yan and Xiaoqian were both extremely intelligent women. Did he expect to deceive them?
But who asked her to be a thin-skinned "delicate and fragile" woman?
It was necessary to deceive one's ears while stealing a bell.
Xu Xian could only let her be. He promised, "As you wish!"
The two of them flew to the Phoenix Mountain. Xu Xian suddenly saw a mountain range below. He thought for a moment and said, "Let's go down and take a look!"
This mountain range was the Mysterious Treasure Mountain. Inside a hidden cave in the mountain.
Two dying young girls were lying on the stone bed. Their faces were almost the same, and they were also wearing similar clothes. They were Cai Yin and Mei Niang. Each of them had a pair of long rabbit ears protruding out of their heads, drooping listlessly.
Mei Niang blinked her eyes. "Cai Yin, I'm so tired!"
Cai Yin lazily replied, "Yes, yes, I don't want to talk!"
Mei Niang moved her ears. "I'm so tired that I'm in my original form!"
Cai Yin said, "Me too!"
Xiaoqian was not idle in the mountain. Instead, she often trained her subordinates. As Xiaoqian's maids, they relied on eating thousand-year-old ginseng to become spirits. Their cultivation was considered top-notch among the many spirits. However, they had no fighting spirit and could not display much strength. Plus, they were naive and easy to control. Thus, they became the focus of Xiaoqian's training. Every day, she arranged all kinds of homework for them to complete, squeezing out all of their spare time and energy.
Occasionally, they would take a vacation, but they immediately became like this. Once they fell on the bed, they wished they could lie down and never get up.
Mei Niang blinked her big eyes, which were covered with a layer of mist. She choked with sobs and said, "When will these days come to an end!" She missed the leisurely life of eating radishes and vegetables.
Cai Yin said, "I don't know. Don't cry. When you cry, I want to cry too!"
The two girls, who were tortured under the Old Witch of Black Mountain's tyranny, looked at each other, hugged each other and burst into tears.
After crying, Mei Niang wiped her tears and straightened her chest. "Now, we have no choice but to run away."
Cai Yin sobbed twice. "Run away?"
Mei Niang nodded affirmatively. "Yes, run away!"
Cai Yin wiped her face with her arm. "Where to?"
Mei Niang was obviously stumped by the sharp question. As two well-behaved monsters who had almost never left the Mysterious Treasure Mountain, this question was undoubtedly too difficult for them to answer. There was no map or television in this world, so the so-called world outside the mountain was a complete mystery to them.
After thinking for a long time, Mei Niang said, "Why don't we go to Luoyan Peak?"
Cai Yin said suspiciously, "Isn't it just opposite?
It's also under the jurisdiction of the Old Witch of Black Mountain! "
Mei Niang was once again stunned by this sharp question. She carefully considered all the places she knew in her mind and sadly found that these mountains were all under the jurisdiction of the evil Old Witch of Black Mountain.
But don't underestimate the courage and determination of girls to pursue their dreams. Clenching her fists, she said, "We must go!"
"Okay!"
Cai Yin was also infected by this determination. "Elder Can is very knowledgeable. When we go to say goodbye to Elder Can, we can ask him about it!"
Mei Niang was shocked by this amazing idea. "Amazing, Cai Yin!"
Cai Yin scratched her head in embarrassment. "No … nothing!" Her pair of ears stood up high, showing the pride in her heart.
So they quickly packed up the two small bags. In addition to radishes, there were also vegetables. Of course, don't underestimate their recipes, mushrooms were indispensable.
When they picked up the bags with small wooden sticks and carried them on their shoulders, they looked at each other, nodded, and solemnly walked out of the cave, ready to start their legendary adventure!
"You're here!" Xu Xian lowered his head and walked into the cave. Looking at the two stunned girls, he asked with a smile.
Cai Yin and Mei Niang swallowed a mouthful of saliva. They suddenly remembered the reason why the evil Old Witch of Black Mountain gave them a holiday. It was because Xu Xian was coming back.
The Ginseng Spirit was hidden in a secret place and not easy to find. Xu Xian came to find the two rabbit sisters, wanting to ask them to lead the way. Seeing them like this, he asked, "Are you going out?"
Cai Yin and Mei Niang hurriedly hid the bags behind them and shook their heads.
Xiaoqing walked in from outside the cave. Her green eyes looked at them with a chill.
Xu Xian said, "Take us to see Elder Can!"
"O … okay!"
Cai Yin and Mei Niang led the way, jumping quickly in the forest. Their movements were light and agile.
When they found the Ginseng Spirit fishing in the mountains, Xiaoqing giggled, and even Xu Xian smiled.
The Ginseng Spirit's head and face were smooth. Not only did it have hair, but it also had no beard or eyebrows. Under the sun, it was as if it had become a monk overnight. As soon as it saw Xu Xian, it immediately wanted to escape. However, it saw Cai Yin and Mei Niang behind him, smiling bitterly and stopping.
Xu Xian coughed twice. "How did you become like this?"
Elder Can't help but look bitter. "The ginseng roots are gone. If you want more, you can only cut off your hands and feet." Obviously, he had been exploited a lot.
Xu Xian said with a smile, "This time, I didn't come to take the ginseng roots, but to give you something in return."
He took out a crystal of Yellow Millet Wine that he had prepared. He felt quite embarrassed that he had exploited this Ginseng Spirit. Now, he used this Yellow Millet Wine as compensation. It could be considered recycling and sustainable development.
Elder Can carefully took the Yellow Millet Wine. He could feel the surging spiritual power contained in it. Although he didn't recognize it, he knew it wasn't an ordinary item. "This … is really for me."
Xu Xian said, "Yes, I will trouble you in the future!"
Elder Can said, "Prince Xu is very kind!" Then, he swallowed the Yellow Millet Wine.
In an instant, he grew a big beard and eyebrows, and his hair almost covered his body.
He felt the spiritual power in his whole body explode, and this was only a little bit of Yellow Millet Wine in his stomach.
