My mother probably knows something.
Fuying waited for a while, but nothing came. When she looked up, her mother didn't say anything, but was gently stroking her hair.
She breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed her mother had just said it casually.
Fuying immediately beamed with joy and snuggled against her mother's lap. Soon, Xuanxian was also amused by her daughter and chuckled, filling the room with a warm and cozy atmosphere.
*
A few days later, at the entrance to the third restricted area.
He Suining arrived here after preparing everything. She thought she was early enough according to the agreed time, but she didn't expect Yitian to be even earlier than her.
"Yitian." She walked over and greeted him casually.
Few immortals in the celestial realm would address him by his name like that. He was momentarily dazed, then frowned slightly.
It seems to be expressing his dissatisfaction with her.
But for some reason, he didn't say it.
He Suining isn't blind, of course she saw it, but she pretended not to. If you don't want me to call you that, just say so; otherwise, she'll keep calling you that.
Yi Tian's red and black eyes swept over her sharply.
After confirming that there were no problems, I put my hands behind my back and prepared to enter the third restricted area.
Suddenly, a sound came from not far away. He Suining stopped and looked over in surprise. "Yitian, someone's coming. Didn't you say this was a restricted area? Judging from these footsteps, there are quite a few people."
Yitian didn't understand either.
He hated things getting out of control, and his already furrowed brows furrowed even more deeply.
Fu Ying, accompanied by Ze Chen and a few of her girlfriends who insisted on seeing her off, walked over with a smile. The moment she saw Yi Tian, her smile became even sweeter.
But the closer she got, the more she noticed his expressionless face, and her smile immediately faded.
She walked to a spot not far from him, lowered her head, and spoke weakly, "Dragon Lord."
Hua Junzi Zechen was specially arranged by Xuanxian to protect Fuying.
His gaze fell on Anning with great interest. As soon as he saw her, he thought of the day he was beaten, and he could still feel a slight pain in that place.
He looked over and saw that Fairy Anning looked at him with obvious dislike, giving him a fierce glare.
to be frank.
Although Ze Chen's fame is not as great as Mo Yu Long Zun's, he still has many admirers among the fairies. The only difference between him and Mo Yu Long Zun is that he tries to give each fairy a home, while Long Zun is cold and aloof, completely uninterested in women.
An Ning is currently the only person who is not only uninterested in him, but has also physically assaulted him.
Even Chi Feng, who disliked him at the time, didn't dare to make a move.
No one says that the Third Forbidden Zone is off-limits to others. Although it is a forbidden zone, it's only because the monsters inside are too powerful, and they're afraid that some fairies and goddesses will go in and die.
But that doesn't mean you can't go in.
Yitian didn't like to meddle in other people's business, and seeing that they were about to go in, he didn't say anything.
Looking at An Ning, she saw Ze Chen smiling and watching her.
He frowned deeply.
He Suining was about to roll her eyes at Ze Chen when she was suddenly tugged at.
She gasped in surprise, and when she opened her eyes again, she had already landed and entered the third restricted area.
It was chilly here, and the ground was covered with all sorts of strangely shaped grasses—beautiful ones, ugly ones, colorful ones, black ones…
He Suining looked down curiously.
Not far away, there was a cold pool, emanating a chilling aura. Upon closer inspection, two bright green eyes could be seen emerging from the pool—the eyes of a creature resembling a crocodile from the mortal world.
It is waiting for its chance to strike.
Fu Ying and the others quickly followed them in.
She was afraid that the Dragon Lord had already left when she came in, but luckily she made it in time.
He Suining bent down to examine a red flower in front of her that looked like a flame. She had the rag doll scan it. She learned that the flower was called the Flame Flower and was a good ingredient for medicine.
However, it's also fine to use them as ornamental flowers.
Seeing that there was no poison, she picked all the pretty flowers nearby. Before long, she had a pile in her hand, various colors stacked together, quite a beautiful sight.
After returning home, I'll decorate my cave dwelling to lift my spirits.
He Suining never felt that she was wasting time on such matters.
But Fu Ying found her behavior utterly baffling. Although she didn't know why the Dragon Lord had come in, she was certain it was for something important.
Picking here and looking there like that is a complete waste of time.
really.
Soon, Fu Ying heard the Dragon Lord's indifferent tone. Although she couldn't detect any impatience, she thought it was normal, since the Dragon Lord rarely showed any particular emotions, especially after cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness.
"Stop picking them, let's go."
He Suining saw two more unfamiliar plants not far away, but without even glancing at Yitian, she casually replied, "Wait a minute, wait a minute."
Fuying chuckled to himself.
Who knew that after Anning had picked all the flowers, the Dragon Lord didn't say anything more.
I picked two flowers.
He Suining returned to Yitian, holding up the bunch of brightly colored and beautiful flowers for him to see, "Aren't they pretty? Doesn't seeing them make you feel good?"
Yi Tian glanced at her thoughtfully.
Without answering her question, he simply asked, "Do you want to pick more?"
Ze Chen had conjured a fan out of nowhere and was leisurely fanning himself. Upon hearing Long Zun's words, his eyes flashed, a smile appearing within them.
Fu Ying bit her lip.
He Suining looked around and shook her head.
Yitian suddenly raised his hand.
She subconsciously looked at his slender fingers, each one delicate yet not weak, straight and with distinct knuckles, quite beautiful.
He wore a jade-colored ring on his finger; I don't know what material it was, but it shimmered beautifully in the dim sunlight.
This can't just be decoration, can it?
Yi Tian took off the ring and casually handed it to her, saying, "Wear this, it's a storage ring."
He Suining's eyes lit up immediately.
Without a second thought, she unceremoniously tried to take it.
no way.
After so many years of entanglement, plus their renewed interaction in the small world, she had long since become accustomed to everything Yitian did for her, especially things that revolved around her, and she never felt there was anything wrong with it.
However, this behavior is something that others would find very intriguing.
Ze Chen used a fan to cover his face, leaving only his eyes watching everything in front of him with great interest.
He gripped the pillar tightly with both hands.
The moment He Suining's finger touched the ring, Fu Ying finally couldn't help but speak up, "Dragon Lord, isn't this inappropriate? Your personal items all have special markings. If someone discovers them and spreads rumors about Fairy Anning and you... it wouldn't be good for either of you."
Fu Ying found it unbearable to think that people might actually think they had some kind of special relationship.
Yitian didn't even glance in Fuying's direction.
But he did hear what she said.
He Suining paused for a moment as she reached out her hand. Before she could react to Fu Ying's words, her outstretched hand was grasped by a warm hand.
Her attention immediately shifted from Fuying to Yitian.
Yi Tian remained expressionless, as if he had done something completely unrelated to himself.
He took He Suining's hand and slipped the ring onto her ring finger. "Why are you hiding? Don't worry about what others say. It's yours now that it's yours."
That's what it says.
He Suining blinked with a smile in her eyes and wiggled her ring finger.
But did Yitian do it on purpose, or did he just casually slip it on because he didn't care?
She prefers the former.
Actually, she had felt something was strange from the very beginning when Yitian took the initiative to approach her and invite her to Dragon Valley.
She absolutely did not believe that Yitian had changed his mind.
Then there is only one possibility: Yitian may have known who she was from the very beginning.
But for some reason, they didn't expose her directly.
He Suining looked down at the ring finger on her hand, now certain that he truly knew who she was.
"Let's go."
After putting on the ring, Yitian turned and walked forward, with her following behind him.
Fuying stared blankly at the two figures as they gradually disappeared into the distance, feeling like an outsider watching a play performed by others, with nothing to do with her from beginning to end.
Standing to the side, Ze Chen fanned himself with his fan and, not one to miss a good show, said, "Is the Dragon Lord perhaps a little interested in Fairy Anning? I've never seen him so attentive to any fairy before."
"Don't talk nonsense." Fu Ying said softly, "The Dragon Lord must have given her the storage ring because he couldn't bear to take her in. It's just a reward."
Ze Chen smiled and walked forward, saying, "As long as you're happy."
They followed the Dragon Lord all the way, and also helped them clear out the surrounding monsters.
He Suining saw many strange creatures in this restricted area. They looked familiar, but they were not the same species as those in the mortal world.
These monsters varied in strength, but the Dragon Lord dealt with them all one by one.
Along the way, He Suining picked many flowers and plants, as well as some strange fruits, which tasted sweet and sour. There were also some that tasted terrible, but were indeed very nutritious.
Before they knew it, it was already night in the third restricted area.
Gululu.
He Suining was hungry. She rubbed her stomach and patted Yitian's arm. "Yitian, I'm hungry."
Fuying followed at a distance that was neither too close nor too far behind, and still pursed her lips in discomfort.
She knew exactly how Fairy Anning could so confidently call the Dragon Lord by his name.
Yi Tian nodded, "Then let's rest here."
They quickly lit a fire, and the four of them sat down together. Yi Tian didn't say anything, but took out some rations from his storage space and handed them to He Suining.
It's a piece of dry food, and it tastes alright.
But He Suining's tastes have been spoiled by Yi Tianyang; she prefers freshly made food, especially sweets.
I'm so hungry.
Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
Fu Ying and Ze Chen both brought their own food and silently took it out to eat.
"Hey."
As He Suining ate, her cravings grew stronger. She smacked her lips twice, "Suddenly I really want barbecue, hot pot, and mochi..."
Fuying had no idea what these things were. She had been born in the Immortal Realm, but that didn't stop her from knowing that they were probably food from the human world.
Fox spirits are different from them. Even though they are born in the celestial realm, they still like to travel to the mortal realm.
I guess that's where they developed this craving for food.
He Suining deliberately sat next to Yitian, "Yitian, I heard from others that you can cook, right? And you're really good at it."
No one in the entire Immortal Realm knew about this except for He Suining.
Yi Tian wasn't surprised that she knew the illusion was based on him, so it was incredibly lifelike, just like the real thing.
He looked at him. "Who said that?"
amount.
Why don't you follow the usual procedure?
He Suining awkwardly touched her nose. "Anyway, it's just something I heard. Just tell me if it's true or not."
He hasn't answered yet.
Fu Ying spoke first, "The Dragon Lord has reached the point where he no longer needs to eat, so why would he crave culinary pleasures, let alone such trivial matters as cooking?"
If the Dragon Lord really wanted to, wouldn't it be easy to find a few celestial attendants? Fairy Anning seems rather unfamiliar with the affairs of the celestial realm; is it because she frequently travels to the mortal world?
He Suining knew that she was hostile towards her; she was just a little girl with a childish mind, seeing every woman as a rival in love.
She has long since passed that age and mindset.
She smiled and her eyes crinkled as she looked at Yitian.
Yi Tian hummed in agreement, "Yes, I can do it."
Fu Ying's smile vanished instantly, and her face turned bright red, as if she had been slapped.
He Suining propped her chin up with her hand, staring at him expectantly.
Fuying's heart was clenched with worry.
Fortunately, Yitian did not follow Anning's lead in everything.
He shook his head. "Eat quickly, then rest."
Seeing that her plan had failed, He Suining sighed helplessly, rubbed her stomach, and muttered softly, "Looks like you won't be having any fun tonight."
Fu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, a smile returned to her face, and she even started to enjoy the dry rations in her hand.
Everyone finished eating.
He Suining curled up on the floor covered with a plush blanket and fell asleep, while Fu Ying set up a swing between two trees and lay down on it.
Zechen slept on a big tree.
Only Yitian didn't sleep.
He stared blankly at the burning fire, with He Suining sleeping opposite him. Through the red flames, he could see her peaceful face as she slept.
An evil voice came, and the inner demon reappeared before his eyes, appearing and disappearing, "I thought you would cook something delicious for her, even though there are enough ingredients in the space."
The inner demon smiled and said, "It's good that you've come to your senses."
He didn't want Yitian to end up not being able to distinguish between illusion and reality; if he died, it wouldn't be able to live either.
Yitian looked up at his inner demon.
She chuckled softly, "I just wanted to make it for her alone."
In other words, today isn't a good day. Fu Ying and Ze Chen are both here, and he doesn't want to cook for others, even if it's just something they did on the side.
The inner demon froze for a moment, its expression contorting.
He moved his lips, but in the end said nothing and gradually disappeared.
It has nothing to say to this love-struck person.
fuck.
The next day.
They continued their journey early in the morning toward the place where the human-faced fruit might appear.
