Chapter 371: Senior Brother, can you let me taste your...chicken?
The breeze blew gently from the mountains, but Ning Changge could not feel a trace of coolness. At this moment, his heart was so cold that even a big human heart could not be warmed.
Looking at the three words "Huang Feiyan" on the tablet in front of him, Ning Changge couldn't calm down for a long time.
Good news, Miss Huang has been found.
The bad news is, it's her grave. No! It's not even a grave, it's just a shrine where her spirit tablet is enshrined.
The surface of the wooden tablet was slightly yellowed, and some of the words on it had faintly fallen off. It was obvious that Miss Huang had been dead for some time.
Ning Changge didn't know the exact time of her death, but he knew that he would not be able to face Si Niang at the Burial Sword Villa, and Si Niang could not be resurrected.
"well--!"
Ning Changge sighed deeply, feeling inexplicably sad in his heart.
I originally thought that I could come here to meet the daughter of an old friend whom I had never met before. Even if I couldn't see her, I could still find some clues about her.
But who would have thought that what they would see was her cold tablet.
Ning Changge looked at the milky white fog floating around. The fog was very thick like clouds, and suddenly a picture flashed through his mind.
At that time, I was undergoing the golden elixir thunder tribulation, and the sky was full of clouds, but they were golden clouds. Three different voices came from the clouds.
One of them: [Big liar, if possible, please help me find my daughter. ]
Recalling the prayer from his mother and the promise he made at that time, and looking at the cold spirit tablet in front of him, Ning Changge felt a little uncomfortable:
"I'm sorry, I'm a liar again..."
"what!"
At this moment, the girl's cry of surprise suddenly sounded, bringing Ning Changge's thoughts back to reality.
Ning Changge came back to his senses and asked in confusion: "Aying, what's going on?"
Zhu Liuying pointed at the offerings placed in front of the tablet with her green little finger and said:
"I shouldn't be mistaken. When offering sacrifices, my mother-in-law placed a roast chicken and seven or eight apples and oranges here. But now the roast chicken is gone, and only the apples and oranges are left."
Ning Changge looked in the direction of her finger. In front of the tablet was a small incense burner and three small bowls. There was nothing in the middle bowl, an apple on the left, and an orange on the right.
Without thinking too much, he replied casually:
"This is a mountain. Perhaps it was taken away by some carnivore living on the mountain."
Zhu Liuying shook her head, her voice filled with confusion:
"There are indeed some small animals on the mountain, but they dare not eat them. I have never had any offerings taken away before. It's so strange."
Ning Changge's pupils shrank slightly, and a bold guess came to his mind, "Could it be?"
Ideas must be validated!
Ning Changge hurriedly took a few steps forward, bent down and half-crouched, carefully observing the front of the tablet.
Suddenly, he noticed a few small footprints on the incense ashes around the small incense burner. They were traces of some unknown small animal.
The footprints were very faint, probably from several days ago, but you could vaguely see the marks were in the shape of a plum blossom, or like flesh pad prints.
But upon closer inspection, they don't look like any of those. Instead, they look like claw marks.
Is it a cat?
Or a dog?
Or maybe neither, but a little fox?
Ning Changge couldn't be sure which one it was.
But no matter which one it is, it is good news, and it makes me feel very disappointed.
Turning back, Ning Changge waved to Zhu Liuying and said:
"Aying, come and take a look at what kind of animal these footprints are. I think you should know better than me."
"Here I come, big brother."
Zhu Liuying walked to Ning Changge, slowly bent her knees and squatted down. The dress she was wearing outlined her exquisite and voluptuous curves, like the undulating mountains in spring.
After looking carefully for a while, Zhu Liuying opened her cherry-like mouth and said uncertainly:
"Cat or fox?"
After saying that, she turned to look at Ning Changge and asked, "Brother, who do you think it will be?"
Ning Changge said with a smile: "Little fox."
(Great! Maybe she is not dead! Instead, it is just as Xiao Yanji said, her cultivation has dissipated and she has turned into an ordinary little fox!)
Zhu Liuying nodded her head and said, "I think it's the fox, too, because cats don't like roast chicken, but foxes do."
"Roast chicken?"
Ning Changge was stunned for a moment, then immediately entered the space of the Great Treasure Book, where the three Fuliji roast chickens that had just been opened last time were placed.
"Okay, okay, Dabao, I was wondering why you suddenly roasted chicken for me, it turns out it's for this!"
Dabao: [Dabao doesn’t understand, this is something you made up, Master.]
"Don't play dumb. Tell me the truth. Is Huang Feiyan dead or not?"
Dabao: [Master, I have told you many times, just let it go.]
Ning Changge's mouth corners slightly raised, "Okay!"
He already knew the answer.
Ning Changge's mind moved, and a Fuliji roast chicken appeared in his hand.
As soon as I took it out, the air nearby became fragrant.
Zhu Liuying's nose twitched, and she looked at Ning Changge's palm with sparkling eyes, and said a little embarrassedly:
"Big Brother, can you give me a taste of your...chicken?"
It smells so good!
Indescribable fragrance!
Just after sniffing Ning Changge's chicken, Zhu Liuying felt like her nose was exploding!
Could this be the food that immortal cultivators eat? It looks like just an ordinary roast chicken, but it has a fatal attraction!
Ning Changge was stunned: "You want to eat my chicken?"
"Mmmmm! I want to eat your chicken!"
Zhu Liuying nodded vigorously, her eyes never leaving Ning Changge's palm.
Ning Changge rejected her: "But this roast chicken is useful to me."
Zhu Liuying stretched out her little hand, tightly grasped Ning Changge's sleeve, and said pitifully: "I'll just have one bite, no, two small bites, that's all."
Listening to Zhu Liuying swallowing her saliva, Ning Changge felt puzzled:
"Is this Fuliji roast chicken really that delicious? But it does smell a bit fragrant."
Ning Changge couldn't bear to reject Aying anymore. She had begged him, and if he didn't let her eat his chicken, he would be failing as the senior brother.
"Here, Ah Ying, take it and eat it."
As he spoke, Ning Changge handed the roast chicken in his hand to Zhu Liuying.
Dabao was thoughtful enough to wrap the roast chicken in several layers of baking paper so that it wouldn’t get greasy on your hands when you held it.
Seeing Ning Changge handing over the whole chicken, Zhu Liuying resisted the urge to eat it directly and quickly waved his hand and said:
"No need for the whole thing, Big Brother. I'll just take a few bites of your chicken. You said you wanted to use it to do something, so I can't delay you."
Ning Changge directly stuffed his chicken into Zhu Liuying's palm and said with a smile: "It's okay, just eat the chicken without worry, I still have a lot of this chicken."
With Dabao here, we can definitely open Fuliji Roast Chicken again.
Besides, he still had two roast chickens, which were enough to lure the little fox out.
However, to Ning Changge's surprise, Zhu Liuying did not eat a single bite, but held the chicken tightly in her hand.
Ning Changge looked at the veil on her head and suddenly thought of what Zhu Liuying said yesterday. He smiled softly:
"If you're worried that I might accidentally see your face, just go eat somewhere else. Don't worry, I won't peek at you."
Zhu Liuying shook her head and explained:
"Mother-in-law has never eaten such delicious chicken. Big brother, you just told me to eat it without worry, so I thought of bringing it back to eat with mother-in-law."
