Chapter 4436: 48: Shell (3) |
The night lifted three thousand strands of black hair, and that face, tangled with black satin, was like a piece of white porcelain jade missing a corner. At first, it was as clear and pure as a snow lotus, but soon a touch of red blossomed on her cheeks, and finally, her ears turned completely red.
It seemed as if the Pearl Gem Star Eyes were still there, she could actually see that she was staring at her intently.
But she couldn’t see, so being certain of this, Xu Xiaoshou continued to stare.
"Then, that..."
The quiet night, the waves surged and fell.
Xu Xiaoshou didn’t make a sound, staring unscrupulously, so absorbed that he lost himself.
"Then, can you do it?"
He blinked and came back to his senses.
This question seemed familiar, hadn’t it been asked before?
"C-can you?"
Yu Zhiwen clenched the hem of her dress with her right hand, and hid her left hand behind her back, her voice trembling slightly, not even knowing what she was saying.
It’s possible, but wouldn’t it be a little too much of a buzzkill?
Xu Xiaoshou opened his mouth, unable to speak the words, furrowing his brows and thinking over and over again, hesitating to take out the pot.
"Is it very, difficult?"
"If it’s difficult, then forget it, I was just... um, saying it off the cuff."
Yu Zhiwen finally came to her senses, diverting her spiritual senses to one side, so she couldn’t see Xu Xiaoshou.
But immediately switched it back, realizing that Xu Xiaoshou didn’t know she was watching him, so she watched unscrupulously.
The person lying on the reef, his head drooping down, leaning towards himself, his posture was very amusing, yet he was limp and comfortably sincere.
The moonlight spilled over him, flowing into his eyes.
All night, from Near the coast of the Southern Underworld to the depths of the Southern Underworld, and then back here, Yu Zhiwen never lifted her head, never saw what the moon looked like.
But in Xu Xiaoshou’s eyes when he looked at her, she saw, she saw a bright white moonlight, pure and shining, only belonging to herself.
"It’s not difficult after all."
Xu Xiaoshou also forgot he was still lying on the reef.
By now, his mind had already begun to search through Cooking Expert how to use spiritual medicine to substitute for flour, and what process could be used to make soybean milk.
The pot wasn’t brought either.
Fortunately, he was still a high-class Elixir Master, so he could substitute with the alchemy cauldron.
Eggs would still be eggs, if not dragon eggs, anyway, searching through the inventory, there would always be eggs of various rare birds.
Isn’t it just egg soybean milk and dough sticks? It can be tinkered with in half a moment... thinking about it, he naturally took out a three-legged large bathtub:
"If you want to eat, there will be, but it needs a little time, the process is a bit complicated, but it’s okay, I can make it for you now."
Ah?
Now? You’re making it now?
And, this dish, is it made with a bathtub?
Yu Zhiwen finally realized what nonsense she was saying, and what stupid thing Xu Xiaoshou was planning to do.
Yet it seemed unstoppable!
The situation, developing in an increasingly bizarre direction!
Xu Xiaoshou sat up, looked around.
Seeing that indeed, there was no one near the coast of the Southern Underworld, he retracted his guilty expression, lifted the large bathtub taller than a person, and began tossing in some unidentifiable spiritual medicine...
Wait!
Stop!
I didn’t mean that...
Yu Zhiwen panicked too, looking around like him, as if searching for something to change the current situation.
Indeed, no one was nearby, only the Heavenly Mechanism Puppet Little Star quietly stood not far away, its hatch open, she could always crawl inside, close the hatch, and regain the sense of security.
No!
Seeing Little Star, Yu Zhiwen’s heart settled, she wouldn’t run away.
"This!"
She mustered up the courage, holding something in both hands.
Just like she had practiced many times before, she could "skillfully" hand the thing forward to the person in front of her: .
"For you."
Xu Xiaoshou was taken aback, turned his head.
His one arm was still lifting the large bathtub, he hadn’t yet leapt off the reef, the bathtub wasn’t yet thrown onto the beach, the alchemy process was completely wrong, Elder Sang would angrily scold him for being useless, incapable of teaching.
"What?" He was still in a daze.
Yu Zhiwen opened her hands, and lying on the palm was a white moon, which wasn’t a moon, it was white...
"A shell."
"What..." The bathtub in Xu Xiaoshou’s hand fell, pointing at himself with some disbelief, "Me?"
Yu Zhiwen took a deep breath, her spiritual senses looked through the black satin in front of her, once again she saw it.
A shell that wouldn’t be knocked down.
A surprise expected to come.
Xu Xiaoshou was still stupidly pointing at himself, as if not recognizing the simple thing picked up from the beach, still confirming, "For me?"
"Yes!" Yu Zhiwen nodded, smiling brightly:
"The shell, for you."
