Chapter 274 Chapter 279, As long as you are a newbie, you can share everything
While he was leisurely refining the Ten Thousand Demons Banner, there was a light knock on the door of the stone chamber, followed by Xiaobai's gentle voice:
"Mr. Ouyang, did I disturb you?"
Ouyang Feng put away the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, stood up and opened the door, smiling and said:
"What's the matter?"
"I picked some spiritual medicine seeds and seedlings some time ago, and I was going to give them to you after I caught the horse, but then the centipede monster attacked..."
Having said this, Xiaobai paused, pursed her pink lips, lowered her head, and her eyes dimmed.
Although this incident happened half a year ago, he had traveled around the demon world during that time, slaying monsters and eliminating evil. He had seen many tragedies in the world, witnessed shocking monster chaos, and encountered several crises and dangerous situations.
The more than three months of thrilling and adventurous experiences have greatly diluted the shadows of the past, and made her more dependent on the bond with Xiaoqing. She has also gotten used to being Ouyang Feng's mount, but when she recalls the past, she can't help feeling a little sad.
After a moment of silence and calming down, she looked up at Ouyang Feng and said softly:
"I was seriously injured at the time and fell into a coma for more than a month. When I woke up halfway, I only remembered to ask Xiaoqing to pass the horse to you. Later, when my injuries recovered, I went to the demon world again. I forgot to give you the spiritual medicine seeds and seedlings... The seedlings are all planted in the herb garden. I wonder if you have time to go and take a look at the herb garden now?"
Ouyang Feng nodded and said, "Of course."
Xiaobai smiled and said, "Please follow me, sir."
Having said that, he turned around and led the way.
Ouyang Feng followed her and asked:
"Where's Xiaoqing?"
"She went to the Young Master's Dojo to catch goats. She said she wanted to eat a whole roasted goat tonight. She also said she had been in the demon world for three months and hadn't had a good meal, so she wanted to eat ten goats today."
Ouyang Feng smiled:
"It suits her style."
Xiaobai also chuckled:
"Mr. Ouyang, please don't think she is too greedy."
"My family is big and prosperous, so I can afford it."
While chatting casually, Xiaobai had already led Ouyang Feng through a long corridor and came to a cave with a skylight. The cave had daylight shining in and did not seem dark.
A medicinal garden has been opened up in the cave. It can be seen that it has been newly opened not long ago. There are more than ten medicinal seedlings of different types planted in it.
"This is purple orchid, which has the effect of nourishing qi and essence, and can increase the power of magic. This is sword-leaf grass, which can strengthen the body and bones. I don't recognize this kind of nameless little flower, but I accidentally ate a mature plant once before, and I felt that my strength increased a lot, and my body became much lighter. There is also this kind, called red pearl wood, a small tree that can only grow to a height of about three feet at most, and can produce red pearl-like cones. It is also a spiritual object that increases the magic spirit..."
Xiaobai introduced these magical medicinal seedlings to Ouyang Feng in a soft voice. She knew the names and effects of some of them, and she didn't know the names of others, but because she had taken them before, she also knew their magical effects.
These spiritual medicines are rare species, very rare, Xiaobai also spent a lot of effort to collect them. Ouyang Feng was also very satisfied, because these spiritual medicines were not available in his cave, and they were obviously the specialties of this world.
After introducing these dozen seedlings, Xiaobai took out a bag of spiritual medicine seeds and handed them to him. They were also some good varieties. Although their efficacy and rarity were not as good as those dozen seedlings, they were enough to enrich the output of Ouyang Feng's blessed land.
Ouyang Feng took the spiritual medicine seeds and said with a smile:
"Xiaobai, you are thoughtful."
Xiaobai smiled softly and said softly:
"Mr. Ouyang, you are too polite. These small tokens of my appreciation are not enough to repay your kindness. I hope you don't think they are useless."
After a pause, he continued:
"These magical medicinal seedlings have different growth environments, and some are extremely demanding. Planting them in the medicinal garden is only a stopgap measure. We need to transplant them to a suitable environment as soon as possible."
"But I don't know where to plant these spiritual herbs. Since you can find them, Xiaobai, you must know where they should grow. I can only trouble you to help me transplant them."
"You are too polite, sir. Xiaobai should serve you."
At that moment, Ouyang Feng summoned the phantom of the bronze gate, and used a force field to lift up the dozen or so medicinal seedlings, along with the soil near their roots, and took Xiaobai into the blessed land.
Next, Xiaobai revealed his true form and carried Ouyang Feng into the sky, searching for an environment suitable for the growth of various spiritual medicines in the three islands of Dongtian. Whenever he found a place, he would land and plant the spiritual medicine himself. Ouyang Feng would then use the technique of "array formation" to impose restrictions to protect the seedlings.
In addition to transplanting seedlings, the seeds of magical herbs were also sown in appropriate places.
Half a day later, when passing through a valley in Fangzhang Mountain, Xiaoqing's voice suddenly rang out from below:
"Sister, I'm here!"
Xiaobai looked down and saw Xiaoqing holding a long whip in one hand and waving it towards the sky with the other. There was a group of goats in front of her, just like a shepherdess.
Xiaobai looked back at Ouyang Feng on his back and saw him nod slightly. Then he dived towards the valley. When he was close to the ground, he turned back into human form and floated gracefully in front of Xiaoqing with Ouyang Feng.
Xiao Qing asked with a smile: "What are you doing?"
"Looking for a place to plant the magical herbs that Xiaobai found."
Ouyang Feng looked at the group of goats around Xiaoqing and asked:
"I heard from Xiaobai that you are going to eat ten roasted whole sheep today, but there seem to be more than ten sheep in this herd? Do you want to catch some goats and raise them in your cave?"
Xiaoqing smiled and said:
"I eat ten of them in one meal. Are you and Xiaobai just going to watch me eat? The extra ones are of course prepared for you."
Xiaobai shook his head amusedly:
“I can’t eat that much.”
Ouyang Feng also said:
"Just prepare one for Xiaobai and me."
"Okay!" Xiao Qing waved her whip and drove away a few goats, leaving eleven behind. She then asked, "Have you finished your work?"
Xiao Bai said, "There are still three seedlings and a few seeds left to be planted."
"Then you guys continue. I'll go back and kill the sheep and wait for you to come back and grill it."
"Xiaoqing, don't you know how to make roast lamb?"
"Xiaobai, don't you know me? I can only barely roast the lamb. If you want a truly delicious roasted whole lamb, you have to do it yourself, Xiaobai."
Xiaobai shook his head helplessly:
"Well, go back and prepare first."
"Yes, sir!" Xiaoqing giggled, opened the bronze door, and drove the sheep back to the cave.
After Xiaoqing left, Xiaobai turned back into his original form and carried Ouyang Feng to continue choosing a place to plant spiritual herbs.
More than half an hour later, Xiaobai transplanted the last medicinal seedling on a cliff that was never exposed to sunlight, shrouded in clouds and mist, and damp and cold. Ouyang Feng then used the technique of "forming an array" to set up restrictions around the seedlings to prevent them from being destroyed by birds and beasts.
After the completion, Xiaobai stood on the cliff, with her clothes fluttering in the wind and her silk ribbons flowing.
She looked at the undulating sea of clouds and fog in front of her, which looked like waves on the ocean. She looked at the afterglow of the setting sun shining on the sea of clouds, coating them with a layer of crimson golden light. For a moment, she felt that all the melancholy in her heart seemed to be taken away by the beautiful scenery and mountain breeze before her. Her heart was clear and filled with long-lost tranquility and relaxation.
After being immersed in the sunset and sea of clouds for a while, she finally came to her senses and smiled apologetically at Ouyang Feng who was standing beside her:
"I was mesmerized by the beauty of the sea of clouds and mountains just now, and lost my mind for a moment. I am sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
"That's fine." Ouyang Feng said, "Now you and Xiaoqing are both working for me. If you like the scenery here, you can choose a suitable hilltop, build a cave, and live here permanently."
Xiao Bai smiled softly, "Thank you, sir." "Would you like to take another look?"
"No, Xiaoqing is still waiting for me to go back and make her a roasted whole lamb."
"Then go back."
As he spoke, Ouyang Feng gently waved his sleeves, opened the bronze door, and returned to the cave with Xiaobai.
When they returned, Xiaoqing had already slaughtered the sheep, set up eleven grills, and completed all the preparations.
Xiaobai didn't waste any time. He cast a spell to light eleven bonfires, controlled the temperature with magic, applied oil and sauce, and grilled eleven goats at the same time.
Using magic to roast a whole goat is naturally very efficient. In less than two quarters of an hour, the eleven goats were roasted.
Xiaoqing lined up ten roasted lambs on a long stone table, and ate with relish, taking a meat-cutting knife in hand. She ate with a smile on her face, taking each mouthful of meat and drinking a bowl of wine.
Xiaobai used a small knife to cut the mutton into small pieces, and first served Ouyang Feng several plates of grilled meat of different parts, and also prepared several dipping sauces of different flavors for him. He also prepared pancakes and vegetables for him to taste.
Ouyang Feng picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of barbecue and put it into his mouth. After chewing for a while, he praised:
"It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, juicy, fresh and delicious... Xiaobai is a great cook. No wonder Xiaoqing insisted that you cook it."
Xiao Bai smiled softly, "As long as you like it, young master."
He rolled a pancake for Ouyang Feng and handed it to him, then cut the meat himself and enjoyed the fruits of his labor in small bites with an elegant posture.
Comparing the eating styles of Xiaobai and Xiaoqing, if Xiaobai is a lady from a noble family, then Xiaoqing is a typical chivalrous hero or even a mountain king. However, Xiaoqing is charming and charming, and her bold and heroic eating style only makes people feel cute.
Ouyang Feng and Xiaobai chewed slowly and finished a whole roasted lamb together.
Xiaoqing ate up all ten roasted lambs and drank more than ten jars of fine wine by herself.
Moreover, her eating speed was not much slower than Ouyang Feng and Xiaobai. After eating, her belly was still flat. I don't know where all the wine and meat went.
After eating and drinking, Xiaoqing was a little drunk. She held Ouyang Feng with one hand and hugged Xiaobai with the other, insisting that they go to the hot spring with her to take a bath, which made Xiaobai laugh and cry.
"I still have to clean up the dishes and clear up the kitchen waste. Mr. Ouyang, please accompany Xiaoqing."
Xiaobai said so, but Xiaoqing held her too tightly. She couldn't struggle to get out of Xiaoqing's arms, and she didn't dare to use too much force for fear of hurting the drunk Xiaoqing.
Ouyang Feng smiled and said:
"It seems that Xiaoqing doesn't want to let you go. Let me do this, Xiaobai, you go and accompany Xiaoqing."
As he said this, he shook his palm lightly, exerted a little bit of energy, and easily broke free from Xiaoqing's palm.
"We are all family, can't we go together?"
Xiaoqing grumbled with some dissatisfaction and wanted to say something, but Xiaobai covered her mouth and quickly dragged her away.
Ouyang Feng released the golden-armored bean soldiers and ordered them to do the cleanup work, while he went to meditate by the pond.
There are two water sources in this cave in the mountain. One is the deep pool at the bottom of the cave, which is ordinary mountain spring water. The water surface is wide and about ten feet deep, big enough for Xiaoqing and Xiaobai to play in the water in their true form.
The other place is in a cave on one side of the cave. There is a natural hot spring flowing underground. After Xiaoqing and Xiaobai discovered the underground hot spring, they dug holes in the cave, brought in the hot spring, and transformed the cave into a hot spring pool.
Xiaobai brought Xiaoqing to the hot spring pool, helped her take off her clothes, put her into the pool, then he undressed himself, raised his snow-white slender feet, slowly stepped into the hot spring, and held Xiaoqing, who was lazily lying in the hot spring water and floating on the water, in his arms.
After lying in Xiaobai's arms for a while, Xiaoqing's drunkenness dissipated a little. She turned her head and gently rubbed Xiaobai's cheek, muttering:
"Where's Ouyang Feng? Why didn't he come?"
Xiaobai was both amused and confused:
"Since you and I are together, Mr. Ouyang will naturally not come."
Xiaoqing murmured, "Why?"
Xiao Bai said unhappily, "Why do you say that?"
Xiaoqing shook her head: "I don't know."
"You really don't know or are you pretending not to know?"
"..."
Xiaoqing didn't answer, but turned around, put his arms around Xiaoqing's waist, rested his cheek on her soft and tender chest, and murmured:
"Anyway, as long as it's you, Xiaobai, then no matter what, I am willing to share the happiness with you... Not only do I want to be with you forever, but I also want you to be happy forever. I tell you, Ouyang Feng is very strong, very, very strong, that is the strength you can't imagine and have never experienced, well, I don't mean magical powers, I mean..."
"Xiao Qing, how can you say such things? You keep talking nonsense. You really should sew your mouth shut!"
Xiaobai was both angry and amused. He scolded her but was deeply moved in his heart.
Everything can be shared. With such a sister in her life, what else could she be dissatisfied with?
She hugged Xiaoqing gently and said softly:
"I know what you mean, Xiaoqing. Don't worry, I will be happy every day from now on."
To prevent Xiaoqing from talking nonsense again, she changed the subject:
"By the way, after we planted the spiritual herbs today, Master Ouyang said that he would open a cave for us on a hill in his temple. We can also choose any hill we like."
Xiaoqing giggled:
"His family has such a large territory, but there are only a few people. I guessed that he would allocate a mountain area for us. After all, we are the goblins raised by his family."
Xiao Bai said helplessly: "You, stop talking about the goblin you raised at home all the time. Aren't you ashamed to say it out loud?"
Xiao Qing disagreed: "That's right! Isn't the mount a domesticated fairy?"
"But, but this statement always sounds a bit weird."
"I don't find it strange at all. On the contrary, it's quite friendly..."
"That's because you are thick-skinned and shameless."
"What's wrong with being thick-skinned? Only when you are thick-skinned and shameless can you live happily and carefree..."
As Xiaoqing was talking, she yawned, her upper eyelids slowly stuck to her lower eyelids, and her voice gradually became low and unclear:
"That damn demon world has exhausted me. I need to have a good sleep..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he fell asleep in Xiaobai's arms.
Xiaobai was actually almost at her limit. The darkness and depression of the demon world had already made her mentally exhausted. She had not rested much after coming back. She had been busy at Ouyang Feng's Taoist temple for most of the day. Now, after soaking in the hot spring, her body relaxed and the fatigue in her heart suddenly surged up. Unconsciously, she hugged Xiaoqing and fell asleep in the hot spring.
