Chapter 187: Awakening
Hey……
It's boring to wait here, and I can't leave, which is also very tiring.
"What are you...eating?"
The mother and daughter who were grilling meat in front were startled when they suddenly heard a familiar male voice behind them.
Zhou Ling reacted very quickly. While Liu Zhen was still wrapped in the cocoon and could not see the outside for the time being, she immediately took away the pink sofa, which almost represented her identity.
"Ah! Senior Brother Liu, you're awake! We're eating skewers, would you like some?"
Zhou Ling said as she cast a spell to remove the cocoon that was protecting him, while playfully asking him if he was interested in such topics.
After all, this is something that doesn't need to be asked. This senior brother is determined. No matter how many times he is asked, his answer is always the same, which is not to eat.
This time, logically speaking, there will be no exception.
But... this time, the situation didn't go as planned.
"Then... one string will do."
A muffled sound came from the cocoon that had not yet been completely untied. Zhou Ling and Zhou Li were both stunned. They were indeed mother and daughter, and even their ear-cleaning postures were synchronized.
Did I hear it right? This senior brother actually wants to eat?
Are you not doing fasting anymore?
Although she was full of doubts, she didn't want to ask too many questions because the other person had just woken up from an epiphany. After all, she had experienced it once herself and understood the feeling. Of course, the first thing to do after waking up from an epiphany is to consolidate what was gained from the epiphany.
Silently handed him a skewer. The tender and juicy lamb was sprinkled with the seasoning specially prepared by Zhou Ling. The combination of the two made the aroma even more tempting.
As for Liu Zhen, he took the skewer with a smile. Looking at Zhou Ling and Zhou Li's eyes full of doubt, he held the skewer for a while before he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Isn't it strange that I don't fast anymore?"
He asked these two people what was in their hearts.
The mother and daughter still didn't say anything, but nodded vigorously in sync to show their thirst for knowledge.
Curiosity makes people's hearts itch! Could it be that this guy has finally gotten enlightened after an epiphany?
"Thanks to the two junior sisters, I was able to get such a great opportunity of enlightenment. Thanks to the two junior sisters, when I was in the state of enlightenment, I was the most vulnerable and most easily disturbed, and they helped me to protect me. For Liu, this is a life-saving grace, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life. In the future, if the two junior sisters need me, I will definitely help them with all my strength to repay the two of you for helping me many times!"
Under the scorching gazes of Zhou Li and Zhou Ling, Liu Zhen tentatively raised his arm, lowered his head slightly, and took a bite of the lamb skewer in his hand.
The tender and smooth mutton with alternating fat and lean parts and rich aroma has an excellent texture and taste that is unparalleled in the mouth!
To be honest, the mother and daughter were tired of hearing how this senior brother wanted to thank them. As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhou Ling knew what he wanted to say.
But now, although they were tired of hearing the words of thanks, they were not tired of seeing Brother Liu enjoying eating the skewers so much.
This is definitely something I've never seen before! I used to be so resistant to food, but now I enjoy eating more than anyone else.
"Don't be too surprised, my sudden realization is what is called asking your heart. Yes, the two words 'asking your heart' have a literal meaning that is not that complicated. This sudden realization has allowed me to see many people and things clearly. I have also had new thoughts and views on this fasting, so now I am quite happy to enjoy eating."
While eating, Liu Zhen explained to the mother and daughter why she did this.
The mother and daughter nodded repeatedly. This explanation was more reliable and they believed it. Moreover, this Senior Brother Liu was also good. He had been fasting for such a long time, but now faced with the temptation of food, he was able to control his greed when he really ate it.
For example, Zhou Ling only gave him one skewer of meat, which he savored slowly. After finishing it, without the host's permission, he just stood there with his hands behind his back, his eyes almost glued to the oven, and he didn't reach out to get another one.
"Eat, eat more. It's not a big deal, so it's worth it." Thinking that he was just being reserved, Zhou Ling smiled and comforted him, but in the end... she was definitely overthinking.
"You can't eat anymore, Junior Sister, look over there."
Liu Zhen raised his hand and pointed, which was the direction where the group of people led by Senior Brother He were standing.
"What it is?"
Seeing the huge disc-shaped object that was taken out, Zhou Ling's shortcomings emerged again. She still couldn't recognize many of these strange things in the world of immortal cultivation. It seemed that if she had time, she still had to work harder and memorize more. Otherwise, if she encountered them one day and didn't understand those rare treasures, she would definitely suffer a loss.
"The giant soul-catching device was made by an elder of our sect. It was originally not very useful. It was only used to detect whether there was a spiritual energy leak outside their alchemy furnace. But later on, everyone gradually forgot about it. After all, the alchemist can tell whether there is a spiritual energy leak in the furnace by himself, and there is no need for this kind of tool to assist."
"You mean that soul-catching device that can detect the anomaly in our formation?"
Zhou Ling quickly grasped the key point and forgot to chew with her alert mouth.
"Why else would they bring this out at this time?"
Being inside the formation, of course he could see the layout of the formation clearly. It was a hidden formation that was laid out with great care. Through such a detailed formation, he could see that his junior sister was very attentive to him.
But now, the situation is critical and they may have to evacuate.
"Let's go. Although your enlightenment is over, there is still some remnant of enlightenment in your body. If you don't leave now, when they discover the formation, they may still be able to divide you up completely."
Zhou Ling was really afraid of this sect that wanted to eat people. If he wanted to enter this sect to practice, he would have to give up all his peaceful life and even be prepared to die suddenly at any time.
Senior Brother Liu has a decent character and an open mind. Such a person will have a good future wherever he goes. I don't understand why he still chooses Guixu Sect. As an outer sect disciple, it is hard to climb up step by step.
I'm really afraid that after we part today, the next time I hear news about Senior Brother Liu, I'll find that he was killed by one of the sect's inner disciples.
Why bother, eh...
Zhou Ling did not say anything more, because now was not the time to think about these messy things. The enemy's magical weapon that could detect spiritual energy was about to appear near them!
But now they are surrounded everywhere, and it is difficult for them to escape even if they want to.
It really is like the saying goes, he chases, he runs, they can't escape even if they have wings!
"Put these away, use Wood Release, and I'll take you away."
As a genius with top-grade mutant wood spiritual roots, Zhou Li rarely has the opportunity to protect his daughter, so he is extremely active.
