Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 420 Shadowless Bird in Barren Mountains

rustle——

The dense autumn rain sprinkled on the green tiles with the breeze, bringing a bit of coolness to the house.

Zuo Lingquan sat cross-legged on the bamboo couch in front of the window and slowly exhaled a wisp of white mist. As he practiced all night, the Qi in his body recovered to 70% to 80%.

In the blink of an eye, Jingxun was sitting cross-legged beside her with her back straight, her hands on her knees, and she was still breathing evenly.

Although he didn't open his eyes, Zuo Lingquan still recognized this as his ancestor at a glance - because he always slept in Jingxun's cultivation, and he didn't meditate in such a serious way at all.

Yesterday, there was a fight at Tianying Castle. None of the girls put in much effort, but the Shangguan Patriarch came back with the fairy vines, and Qi Sea was completely exhausted and almost died of exhaustion.

Originally, the ancestor could go back after finishing his work, but this behavior was a bit like "lifting up the pants and letting the girl wipe it by herself", which was very irresponsible, so he stayed and helped Jingxun fill up the Qi Sea first.

A few people stopped here briefly to recharge their batteries and repair, waiting for Yingying to come over and put away the ancient Taixu vine that looked like a lighthouse.

Zuo Lingquan observed it and realized that it would take some time for Jingxun to fill up Qi Sea, so he stood up quietly and came outside the room.

The autumn rain fell continuously outside the door, and the idle village was very quiet. The only sound of rustling rain could be heard.

Zuo Lingquan stood at the door, looking at the gray sky, and suddenly remembered the scenes in his dream.

After thinking alone for a moment, Zuo Lingquan put away his thoughts and walked towards the main hall.

In the main hall not far away, the doors and windows are closed, but if you look closely, you can still see a faint stream of light flickering on the window paper.

Zuo Lingquan came forward and took a look. There was no furniture in the spacious main hall. There was a five-color earth altar in the center. Because the space was a bit small, two-foot-long green vines were bent into a ring shape, and were blocked by various formations and talismans.

Qiutao took over the task of taking care of the big baby. She was lying in front of the altar with a soft dumpling-shaped pillow behind her head, holding a book in her hand and reading attentively.

On the cover of the book, you can see the words "Fox Cave Porn Chronicles" and the label "Chiwugu Hardcover Collection" in the lower right corner. I don't know where it came from.

When Zuo Lingquan saw such a lewd title, he naturally felt the urge to borrow it and criticize it. However, before he could take action, he realized that Qiu Tao had sensed it and quickly put the book into his sleeves, making the appearance of Sleeping Beauty.

"Hoo~~~ho~~~"

?

Zuo Lingquan was speechless. After thinking about it, he decided not to go in and disturb Qiu Tao Hanchuang who was studying hard, and walked to the side room.

The window of the wing was open and it was quiet inside.

Huang Jinghe was still lying on the bed with her eyes closed and recuperating. Her face was rosier than last night, but she was still very weak. Miss Qiu was not accompanying her, and she didn't know where she went.

Zuo Lingquan couldn't visit Aunt Huang's boudoir alone, so he followed his senses and walked towards the back house to look for Miss Qiu. He didn't go far when he heard the sound of "Gujijiji~" coming from a room.

Zuo Lingquan quietly came to the door of the room and looked through the window - the room was also empty, with only a round table that had aged; Miss Qiu, wearing a slim white dress, sat alone at the table with a table in front of her. A large porcelain white bowl.

The steaming bowl contains cooked noodles, chopped green onions and a poached egg. The shape is very nice.

On the opposite side of the table, there is a small bowl containing chopped dried fruits and small fish cubes.

The furry dumpling squatted in front of the small bowl, lowered his head and ate breakfast like a chicken pecking at rice. While humming, he looked at Miss Qiu doubtfully.

Miss Qiu stared at the noodle bowl with clear eyes, she was thinking about something, she was a little distracted; the cold face that used to be calm all the year round, also had a little more worry about gains and losses.

When Zuo Lingquan saw the familiar green onion and egg noodles, he felt as if he was in another world, as if yesterday's dream happened a long, long time ago.

Zuo Lingquan was silent for a moment, walked slowly into the room, and showed a smile:

"Guagua, why don't you use your chopsticks? The noodles won't taste good after being soaked for too long."

Miss Qiu came back to her senses and glanced at Zuo Lingquan. The complex emotions in her eyes quickly subsided and she responded calmly:

"Duanzi is hungry, so I get him something to eat. I also do some things when I have nothing to do..."

Miss Qiu's appearance has changed back to an adult's appearance, and it seems that even her personality has changed back, her voice is as calm as before, as if talking to a familiar friend.

But after experiencing "Huang Liang Yi Meng", it will inevitably make people feel uncomfortable when they appear like this again.

Zuo Lingquan looked at Miss Qiu now, and couldn't help thinking of the scene in the dream, the same rainy day, the same two people, Guagua lying on his back, stuffing jujube into his mouth.

At that time, Miss Qiu was undoubtedly innocent and lively, forgetting all foreign affairs, revealing her purest nature and her most beautiful time.

The current Miss Qiu cannot be said to be unattractive, but she has finally put on a layer of 'mature' veil, giving her a sense of distance.

Zuo Lingquan came to sit across the table, secretly thinking about something to say, but didn't know what to say.

Miss Qiu sighed quietly and pushed the noodle bowl towards Zuo Lingquan:

"Try it and see if it's because I'm not good at cooking. No matter how I cook it, it's not as fragrant as the chopped green onion noodles in my dream."

Zuo Lingquan understands this very well.

After all, whether food is good or not depends on appetite. Without appetite, even if delicacies from mountains and seas are in front of you, what you get is not pleasure, but the difficulty of swallowing 'feed the young master to eat cake'.

The spiritual path is far away from the fireworks of the world. It seems that it avoids the pain of hunger and cold, but it also permanently loses these most basic desires.

This is why Zuo Yunting's bowl of noodles in Shuanghua City made so many big practitioners sad.

"It's not that you're not good at cooking, it's that you're not hungry."

In order to comfort Guagua, Zuo Lingquan moved the noodle bowl in front of him, picked up the chopsticks and pretended to be appetizing, took a big mouthful, and then...

"Cough...ahem...I'll go..."

Qiu Guagua's sentimental eyes instantly turned into cunning!

However, she suppressed her sneer, pretended to be an iceberg beauty, and asked with concern:

"Isn't it delicious?"

"No, no, I choked..."

Zuo Lingquan's face turned green. He originally thought that Miss Qiu was being polite when she said he was not good at cooking, but now it seems that she is very self-aware!

This is not a cooking skill, this is completely an alchemist!

The bowl of noodles in my hand is indeed delicious in color and aroma, but the taste is hard to describe.

With Zuo Lingquan's oral skills, he couldn't even taste what was cooking in the bowl.

In order not to embarrass Miss Qiu, Zuo Lingquan swallowed the noodles raw while holding on to the mixed flavors in his mouth, then forced out a smile and picked up a chopped green onion in the bowl:

"It tastes good, but it's a bit strong... Isn't this chopped green onion?"

Miss Qiu put her elbows on the table, supported the side of her face with her slender hands, and assumed a very girlfriend-like posture, and said softly:

"There were no onions around Zhuangzi, so I found some hollow grass instead. They look exactly the same and taste almost the same. It should be fine, right?"

? !

Is this called similar?

Although Zuo Lingquan is not a pharmacist, he has read the illustrated book of spiritual herbs.

Kongkongcao is a common spiritual herb used to refine refreshing elixirs. It has the same origin as scallions. Zuo Lingquan didn't remember the specific medicinal effects, so he remembered the sentence in the book: 'It tastes spicy, but it is not necessary. Do not take the raw plant orally'.

Being able to have a special mark on the Spiritual Grass Illustrated Book shows how powerful this thing is in refreshing the mind.

Zuo Lingquan suppressed the smell that hit Tianling Gai and picked up the noodles again:

"What kind of noodles is this?"

"Dragon Beard Noodles."

"Why is it so wide?"

"There is no flour in the house, so I use dragon beard powder to make fresh noodles..."

"Really Dragon Beard?!"

"Um."

"..."

Zuo Lingquan nodded slowly without saying anything. After all, dragon beard powder is indeed a rare and powerful tonic. Apart from tasting like wax, it has no other disadvantages.

"What about this poached egg?"

"There are no eggs in the house, so we use the eggs of the Black Yang bird, which is a specialty of Yingyang Immortal Palace. It can greatly replenish Yang energy and looks similar to an egg."

Miss Qiu looked concerned and a little expectant:

"This is my first time cooking. I am very particular about the ingredients I use. Is it delicious?"

Zuo Lingquan opened his eyes and thought to himself: Does this have anything to do with the word "eat"? Medicinal materials should be used as ‘take’. What’s the difference between using ginseng as a radish?

But seeing Guagua's expectant eyes, Zuo Lingquan still remained as immovable as a man should be. It was a great tonic anyway, so it was better to take medicine to replenish the kidneys and strengthen the yang. He continued to eat the chopped green onion noodles:

"Sou Sui - well, it smells so good..."

Outside the window, there is a misty autumn rain. The man is sitting at the table, eating noodles, and the woman is sitting opposite, looking expectantly. If you don't know the inside story, it really looks like a scene of a young couple loving each other.

But Miss Qiu gave Zuo Lingquan some food because she wanted to take revenge for Zuo Lingquan stuffing jujubes into her mouth. After looking at her for a long time, she saw that Zuo Lingquan not only did not cooperate with the performance, but also looked like he was enjoying the food, her eyes naturally slowed down. changed. She sat up a little straighter and asked:

"Dazhuang, you...do you really think it tastes good?"

Zuo Lingquan ate happily and said with a smile:

"Guagua made it by himself, how could it not be delicious? Although the taste is a bit strong, practitioners are very adaptable. As long as you get used to it, the taste will be really good."

Tuanzi squatted on the table and saw Zuo Lingquan eating so deliciously. He also looked at the chopped spiritual fruit in his bowl and felt greedy. He jumped to Zuo Lingquan's big bowl and opened his beak:

"Gee~"

Zuo Lingquan was naturally not stingy. He took a piece of the poached egg and put it in Tuanzi's mouth.

Tuanzi can swallow the fire of the five elements alive, and its tolerance must be stronger than that of humans. Bird eggs are indeed a great tonic. After a sip, his bright black eyes lit up, he jumped forward a little more, and opened his beak:

"Gee~"

Zuo Lingquan sheds tears of gratitude!

Miss Qiu was a little confused. She didn't dare to eat the dark dishes she made herself, so she naturally didn't know the taste.

Seeing one person and one bird enjoying themselves so happily, she really wondered if she was very talented. She was able to cook for the first time, and the food was delicious and delicious.

Out of doubt, Miss Qiu hesitated for a moment, then took out a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of poached egg from Zuo Lingquan's bowl, and put it between her red lips.

Then……

"Pfft-cough cough cough... Zuo Dazhuang!"

Miss Qiu almost fainted from the overbearing drug effect, tears came out, and she looked at Zuo Lingquan angrily.

"Hahaha……"

Zuo Lingquan's trick succeeded again, and naturally he started laughing heartlessly again. However, Tuanzi was a little confused and jumped a few times on the table, urging Zuo Lingquan to continue feeding him.

Miss Qiu was so annoyed that she had suffered the consequences. She no longer pretended to be a lady. She stood up and came to Zuo Lingquan. She picked up a piece of noodles and fed it into Zuo Lingquan's mouth:

"Is it delicious down there? Huh?"

"Next..." Zuo Lingquan was so confused that he hesitated to respond.

"Come on, eat a few more bites if it tastes good, but don't let me down..."

Zuo Lingquan was simply supposed to refresh the mind and strengthen the yang, so naturally he was not afraid of it. He opened his mouth to catch it, and did not forget to say:

"The melon is so delicious."

"you……"

Miss Qiu gritted her teeth tightly, she had no choice but to do anything to this man who couldn't eat enough food and salt. She was not the one who suffered anyway, so she could just feed her as much as she could:

"Here, take another bite..."

"Jiji?"

Tuanzi was confused when he saw the two men's love and concubine's disgust. They cooed and chirped beside them, which meant, "It's not like Da Zhuang has no hands. Why don't you feed the birds!" ’, but unfortunately neither of them listened.

Fortunately, this kind of show of affection did not last long.

When Zuo Lingquan was enjoying being fed by Guagua, there was some noise outside the window.

Tread——

! !

Qiu Guagua's feeding movements suddenly froze, and he quickly stood up straight, hiding the chopsticks in his hands behind his back, trying to act like nothing happened, but it was too late.

Zuo Lingquan also quickly restrained his inappropriate behavior, sat upright, looked back out the window, and saw Aunt Huang standing at the corner of the corridor in the distance, with an expression that was half-smiling but not smiling, looking at him and Miss Qiu ambiguously.

Seeing the two people looking over, Huang Jinghe's face showed a bit of apology for disturbing the good things, and she quickly explained:

"I'll just walk around casually, um... Niuniu, you go on, don't worry about me..."

After saying that, he disappeared from the spot, leaving only an awkward man and woman behind.

When Miss Qiu saw her mother, she felt that the sky was falling!

Yesterday she said it didn't matter, but now that she was fed, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to clean herself up even if she jumped into the Qingdu River.

Miss Qiu wanted to catch up and explain, but from the look on my mother's face, it was estimated that she would die to prove her ambition, and her mother would not believe that she and Zuo Lingquan were innocent.

Annoyed and embarrassed, Miss Qiu could only turn her head towards Zuo Lingquan and gritted her teeth:

"Look at the good things you did? My mother saw them all. What should I do now?"

Zuo Lingquan couldn't say "I will be responsible". He slightly spread his hands:

"If you want to feed me, there's nothing I can do about it..."

"You blame me?" Miss Qiu's eyes turned cold.

Faced with this familiar tone, Zuo Lingquan knew that being reasonable at this time was asking for death, so he could only say:

"Blame me, blame me, what should I do now?"

Miss Qiu didn't know what to do, she said angrily:

"What else do you want to do? You still want to go along with the flow, and me...the dream is all fake, you can't take it seriously!"

Do I seriously?

Who holds a grudge until reality comes?

Zuo Lingquan muttered a few words in his heart, but he couldn't say it with his mouth. He said with a smile:

"Of course I know this. If I dare to take what I said in my dream seriously, Lingye will kill me."

"?"

Miss Qiu was unhappy again when she heard this.

This is not because Miss Qiu has any ideas, but it is natural for Zuo Lingquan to forget what happened in her dream, but he cannot forget about what happened with her because of Shangguan Lingye's intimidation. This would be irresponsible.

But Miss Qiu obviously couldn't say this. She stood silent for a while, then turned and sat back across the table, looking away without saying a word.

Zuo Lingquan was a little unhappy when he saw Guagua. After thinking about it, he took the initiative and said:

"Guagua?"

"Don't call me Guagua. If Shangguan Lingye hears it, he may not know what he will think. You are her man, so you should pay attention to your words and deeds."

The word 'she' is emphasized very strongly.

Although Miss Qiu tried her best to hide her emotions, the dissatisfaction between her eyebrows still showed through.

Zuo Lingquan couldn't read minds and couldn't figure out what Guagua meant. After thinking about it for a while, he tried to ask:

"Then I will still call you Miss Qiu from now on?"

"..."

Miss Qiu was so confused that she couldn't answer this question at all. She pursed her lips, finally stood up and walked out the door:

"what ever."

"Eh?"

Zuo Lingquan quickly raised his hand and grabbed Miss Qiu's wrist.

The room fell silent, leaving only the rustling autumn rain.

Miss Qiu faced the door and paused. Her hand was pulled back by Zuo Lingquan. She didn't know whether she was stunned or not and didn't react at all.

Zuo Lingquan held his slender wrist and noticed something was wrong. He wanted to let go, but his fingers moved and stopped again. He just looked at the back of the beauty in white.

Miss Qiu's long hair is like ink, shining down on the translucent white gauze. Through the autumn light, you can see the slim white skirt under the gauze and the jade belt surrounding the willow waist. The waist and hip curves are not plump and hot, showing a It has the natural charm of ink paintings.

The figure from the back is very familiar, that is Guagua with her eyes open.

Miss Qiu couldn't forget the day in the dream, and Zuo Lingquan felt the same way.

Their appearance may have been fake at one time, but it was true that they rode a horse together to escape; it was true that they carried Miss Qiu on their backs and fought in the rain; it was true that they bumped into Miss Qiu eating noodles without clothes while carrying bath water; It is also true to play the affectionate man and woman with Miss Qiu in his arms.

These feelings are all real. When you wake up, you have to treat them as dreams and return the relationship to before entering the dream. Unless Zuo Lingquan erases these memories, how else can he do it?

Miss Qiu felt the loosening and clenching of her wrist, and she recovered from the momentary absence. She turned her head slowly, looked at her left hand that was being pulled, and then at Zuo Lingquan.

Zuo Lingquan's expression was calm, he couldn't see his thoughts, he just looked into Miss Qiu's eyes.

Miss Qiu looked at each other, then turned her cheeks back:

"I'm going to see my mother, you... what are you pulling me for?"

Zuo Lingquan was silent for a while, looked at the noodle bowl next to him, and smiled again:

"You haven't finished eating the noodles yet, why don't you continue feeding me?"

Miss Qiu twisted her wrist slightly, without taking her hand out, she frowned and said:

"You don't know how to eat it yourself?"

"I really can't do it, it's a waste if I don't eat...how about I feed you?"

? ?

Miss Qiu tilted her head slightly, feeling that these words spoiled the atmosphere a bit. Before she could think about what to say, she realized that her wrist was tightened and she was pulled back to sit beside the table.

"Come on, open your mouth, ah~~~"

Zuo Lingquan pretended to be a caring boyfriend, picked up a chopstick of Longxu noodles, and stuffed it into Miss Qiu's mouth.

? !

Miss Qiu was all confused. Thousands of words in her heart merged into one sentence:

"Liu Dazhuang, are you sick?!"

Then he ducked his cheeks from side to side and pushed with his hands, trying to avoid the dark food being fed to him.

Zuo Lingquan was full of smiles, holding the chopsticks to feed the meal, tugging a few times, seeing that Guagua refused to open his mouth, he suddenly got up, and pushed Miss Qiu, who was sitting with her back to the table, directly onto the table.

Bang——

The tugging stopped abruptly.

Miss Qiu was lying on the table with her shoulders pressed, her originally annoyed and shy eyes suddenly turned into a trace of guard and panic, she didn't dare to speak when she looked at Zuo Lingquan who suddenly made a fuss.

Zuo Lingquan brought the chopsticks to his mouth, his eyes slightly fierce:

"Open your mouth."

Miss Qiu was obviously deceived and forgot to resist. Perhaps she was afraid that Zuo Lingquan would become more animalistic, so she subconsciously obeyed and opened her red lips.

Zuo Lingquan was very satisfied. He wanted to feed Guagua a bite and then run away, but was chased by Guagua with a sword.

But he obviously forgot that there was a warm-hearted Tuan Tuan next to him!

Tuanzi was eating dried fruits and watching a show when he noticed that the two people who were chattering suddenly fell down on the table, their postures were so peach-like that they dared not look at them, so they naturally became interested.

I said before that I would help Niu Niu get married, but I can't break my promise...

Tuanzi saw that the opportunity came, but there was no ink at all. After calculating the angle, he jumped directly from the table into the air, and slapped Zuo Lingquan on the back:

"grumble!"

It might have been called ‘Ata! ’.

The dumpling is not very heavy, but so many heavenly materials and earthly treasures are not for nothing. This claw has at least ten years of skill.

Before Zuo Lingquan could figure out what Tuanzi was going to do, he felt a force hit his back and stepped on him.

Bang——

Miss Qiu's pupils suddenly dilated, and she stared blankly at Zuo Lingquan, her expression lowered in astonishment, until the distance was too close and her vision blurred.

And the feedback on the lips came quickly. It was not the spicy feeling of the dragon's beard rising straight to the sky, but an indescribable touch.

"..."

The room fell silent again.

Zuo Lingquan still held the chopsticks in his hand and wanted to lift Xun Tuanzi to say something, but he didn't dare to move.

After all, Guagua was given to him from the bottom just now, and now it's from the top.

Miss Qiu's eyes widened, and her cheeks turned blood red unconsciously. After a while, the shock in her eyes slowly turned into shame and anger.

And the finished Tuanzi stood on Zuo Lingquan's back with his head poked out, and said "chichi~" to Miss Qiu, probably saying "you don't need to thank the bird".

Then Tuanzi scurried away, seemingly realizing what was going to happen next.

"Woo——!...Bah...you..."

After Miss Qiu came back to her senses, she suddenly pushed Zuo Lingquan away, looked left and right, and picked up the green long sword leaning against the table, revealing the aura of an insulted female sword fairy.

Zuo Lingquan secretly thought that something was wrong, and quickly put on a gentleman's expression, turned around and chased outside:

"Tuanzi, come back!"

"Come back here!"

Miss Qiu was so shocked by the unexpected changes that she couldn't think. She rushed towards Zuo Lingquan with her sword in hand, not knowing what she was going to do.

Zuo Lingquan couldn't do anything, so he had to run. As soon as he walked out of the door, Huang Jinghe, who noticed something strange, appeared from the roof again.

Realizing that her daughter was actually raising a sword and preparing to kill her unmarried son-in-law, Huang Jinghe's expression changed and she lectured:

"Niuniu! What are you doing?"

"I……"

Miss Qiu made a sudden stop, she didn't dare to tell the old lady who was turning her elbows out just now, she pressed down her slightly trembling shoulders, and hid the sword behind her back:

"I was joking with him, it's nothing."

Zuo Lingquan quickly followed: "Yes, I was joking. I accidentally disturbed Aunt Huang, please forgive me."

Huang Jinghe felt that her daughter's attitude was not a joke. Considering the safety of her future son-in-law, she waved:

"Niuniu, come here. Mom has something to tell you. Ling Quan, please rest first."

Zuo Lingquan was very moved and bowed his hand.

Miss Qiu stared at Zuo Lingquan as if she wanted to eat people. Under the majestic gaze of her mother, she walked towards the outer house. When she passed by Zuo Lingquan, she couldn't help but stepped hard on Zuo Lingquan's instep, only to say another sentence severe:

"Niuniu!"

Miss Qiu gritted her teeth and could only suppress a hundred emotions, wiped her mouth with her hands, and ran out of the yard quickly...
