The three of them met at the reef.
Shu Pinghui looked at Lan Chucui's distraught look and asked, "What's wrong with you? You seem to have lost your soul. It's not such a big blow, right?"
Yu Xian asked in an incredible tone: "Is it successful?"
Lan Chucui shook his head.
Her mind was so confused that she didn't even think about asking why Yu Xian was still here. She just said, "I don't understand."
The two people on the opposite side were confused.
Yu Xian: "What don't you understand?"
Lan Chu's beautiful facial features were twisted into a ball, showing the knot in her heart.
"Jing Yingrong, she told me thank you."
Shu Pinghui: "Then what?"
"Then she said, 'It's normal to like me, don't feel pressured'."
When repeating the original words, Lan Chucui imitated Jing Yingrong's tone, so calm and matter-of-fact.
The air in the field was stagnant.
Yu Xian: "...As expected of Junior Sister Jing."
Shu Pinghui suppressed a smile: "What else? Why did you stay for so long?"
Lan Chucui: "She then asked me if I could make spiritual food."
Yu Xian and Shu Pinghui said in unison: "Huh?"
Lan Chucui continued: "I replied that I was not good at cooking, and at most I could make the food barely edible. She said that was enough, and asked me to do her a favor."
Having said this, Lan Chucui took a deep breath, and looked into the confused eyes of the two people opposite her, almost gritting her teeth and said:
"She brought more than a dozen sea beasts and asked me to make them into dishes!"
Yu Xian and Shu Pinghui: "..."
Lan Chucui closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down.
Shu Pinghui stuttered and asked, "So, you were just cooking for Rong Rong when you were delayed for so long?"
"Yes," Lan Chucui's expression returned to the confused look at the beginning, "Can you understand?"
They both shook their heads.
Lan Chucui sighed quietly.
She took out a package, which was hot. When she opened it, it contained seven or eight thick meat patties.
"I made a pot of pancakes and she gave me a few. Do you want to try them?"
"..."
Yu Xian and Shu Pinghui were silent for a while, each taking a meat pie.
Lan Chucui also took one herself, wrapped the rest in packages and put them back into the storage ring.
The three of them gnawed on the meat pie and set off on their way back to the top of Yingshan Mountain.
Shu Pinghui took a bite of the pancake, chewed it, glanced at Lan Chucui next to her, and saw that the other person was still distracted. Then she remembered the "benefits" she had received, and swallowed the meat in her mouth, clearing her mind. He cleared his throat and said comfortingly:
"Don't be too sad. It's rare to find a perfect relationship. It's normal to ask for something but not get it. You were mentally prepared before you came."
However, these words attracted a strange look from Lan Chucui, "Where am I sad?"
Shu Pinghui: "Huh? I saw that you were absent-minded, and I thought..."
Lan Chucui frowned and said, "I'm just thinking about how to work hard next."
Shu Pinghui was dumbfounded: "You haven't given up yet?!"
“How can you give up if you haven’t tried your best?”
Lan Chucui's eyes were like burning fire.
Yu Xian's cheeks were wrapped with meat, "Well said! Uh-huh——"
She almost choked.
Lan Chucui turned to look at Yu Xian.
"Sister, how did you pursue Senior Brother Shen in the first place?"
Yu Xian: "I didn't take the initiative, it was Pei'er who chased me."
Lan Chucui: "...?"
It was obvious that she didn't believe it.
"It's true," Shu Pinghui nuzzled Lan Chucui with her elbow, "When senior sister told us before, Rong Rong said she didn't lie."
Lan Chucui was shocked and unbelievable, but after thinking a few times, she suddenly realized:
"Well, senior sister, you have been a romantic in your early years and have been riddled with love debts. I used to hear about your affairs with different men in Dapo Palace. I also heard that you did not take advantage of others and did not attack fellow seniors. In this way , you really won’t find yourself a regular partner, let alone take the initiative to pursue Senior Brother Shen.”
Yu Xian tried to defend himself: "How can that be called a love debt? I don't owe anything..."
Lan Chucui interrupted her: "So how did Senior Brother Shen pursue you?"
Yu Xian bit into the meat pie and fell into deep thought.
"Pray me no matter what, give me pills, watch me compete in the ring, cheer me up, etc..."
Lan Chucui was dubious: "Do these things move you?"
"No, how can I? I'm so good, and there are so many people showing favor to me."
"That……"
"We are a Taoist couple in the first place, and I will be in love with him for a long time. It does not apply to you."
Yu Xian stuffed the remaining meatloaf into his mouth, swallowed it whole, and patted Lan Chucui on the shoulder.
"The process is a long story. I'll talk to you two another time. I have to go do something."
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned into lightning and disappeared into the sky.
Lan Chucui looked at the oil stains on the clothes on her shoulders and was speechless.
Shu Pinghui muttered: "The number of things I don't understand has increased."
Lan Chucui took a bite of the meat pie with a sullen face and chewed it mechanically.
Suddenly, she stopped chewing and looked down at the meatloaf in her hand.
After eating nearly half of the meatloaf, the exposed center part showed a suspicious red color.
Lan Chucui's brows twitched twice and she suddenly turned to look at Shu Pinghui.
Shu Pinghui's next bite was about to reach the center.
The afterimage flashed by, and she shot like lightning, instantly grabbing Shu Pinghui's meat pie.
Shu Pinghui took a bite and asked in surprise: "What are you doing?"
The blue and green face does not change color.
"Keep your belly, I'll treat you to a restaurant in Yuming City for dinner."
…
Jing Yingrong brought a large bowl of meat cakes to the sea crab and said, "Look, the food is made with the ingredients you gave me."
"The First Clan"
The sea crab's small eyes were fixed on the steaming meat cake in the basin, and the crab moved its legs and circled around the big basin.
Jing Yingrong: "These are enough for me to eat for a long time, so you don't have to give me any more sea beasts."
The sea crab took off the black tuo tuo he carried on his back, picked up a meat pie, and compared the two.
Comparing the two, it was determined that the meat patties belonged to the category of "normal food". The sea crab put the meat patties back, waved its tongs in the mirror, and was about to return to the bay.
Jing Yingrong stopped it, took out a storage ring, and said, "You can use the storage device. This is for you. I put the trophy you got from defeating the crowned eagle last time in it."
The crab held the storage ring with its pliers, looked at it, then lifted the first crab leg on the left and put the ring on.
The storage ring slides to the top of the crab's legs, close to the abdomen, and automatically shrinks in size, tightly fastening the crab's legs.
After Jing Yingrong taught him how to use the storage ring, the first thing Hai Crab did was to store Heituo Tuo in it.
Jing Yingrong: "... Do you have to keep that one?"
The sea crab waved its pincers in affirmation.
Jing Yingrong watched silently as the crab submerged into the sea.
She picked up a meatloaf and ate it in small bites.
Halfway through the meal, Jiyanzhu said, "Jingjingjing, the thing you are eating seems to be undercooked and not cooked enough."
Jing Yingrong's expression remained unchanged: "It doesn't matter, it has spiritual energy and can be eaten."
Ji Sha Sword: "It's a bit better than your craftsmanship."
"..."
After eating the meat pie, I heard Jijiebi say: "Mirror, there is something I still don't quite understand."
Jing Yingrong: "What's the matter?"
Ji Jie Bi: "It's because you refused to be Yan Xinxuan's boss. When you sit in that position, you have to do a lot and deal with all kinds of people. Doesn't it fit in with your original intention of finding something for yourself?"
Jing Yingrong opened his palm, light flashed, and a piece of fallen stone lay in his palm.
"Because I have something more I want to do."
Jijie Pen: "This thing can make you more human?"
Jing Yingrong: "Ah."
Jijie Pen: "What's wrong? Have you forgotten about this project?"
Jing Yingrong shook her head: "I think——"
The corners of her mouth were gently raised, and bright light overflowed from her eyes and flowed into the distance.
"That's not important anymore."
