Chapter 382: Beast God Forest (Xuan Jiu) 5
Just a pair of fox eyes, gazing deeply at her skin, and all her clothes that were dyed green by this unknown potion.
Until Xiao Jinsheng pretended to walk to the door, suddenly flashed back wanting to surrender to Xuan Jiu.
Just as Xuan Jiu slid, rushing to the spot at the door where Xiao Jinsheng was, and knelt on both knees.
Both of them made moves simultaneously.
One struck empty.
One knelt empty.
"Potion divorce—" Realizing Xiao Jinsheng flashed, Xuan Jiu quickly turned and slid again to kneel in front of Xiao Jinsheng.
He reached out and tightly hugged her leg, his head even pressed against it: "Family Head, don't divorce me."
"Then why can't I read your mind, and you're acting like you don't recognize me?" Xiao Jinsheng quickly withdrew her hand, ready to knock Xuan Jiu on the head, and interrogated.
"It's a long story, I can only make it short." Xuan Jiu whimpered, noticing that the potion drying up on Xiao Jinsheng urged quickly: "Anyway, let's get back in the pot and talk, this potion can block prying eyes."
"The chef turned doctor?" Xiao Jinsheng was surprised, but she also turned back into the green potion pot.
The fire under the pot was burning fiercely.
However, she didn't feel hot.
The potion in the pot was warm, making her whole body feel relaxed.
Xiao Jinsheng returned to the pot, Xuan Jiu still scooped the potion with his hand and poured it over her.
After confirming, he whimpered again, feeling aggrieved: "Potion divorce me, Family Head."
"First, tell me about this world, and what's really going on with you." Xiao Jinsheng faced him coldly.
"This world is ill." Xuan Jiu sighed.
"What's the illness?" Xiao Jinsheng pressed.
"I can't say." Xuan Jiu looked solemn as he explained: "Just remember, when this potion scent fades on you, whatever you do will be monitored by an inexplicable force."
"So you pretended not to know me in the Royal City and forest?" Xiao Jinsheng asked: "Is the reason I can't read your mind also because of this potion?"
"Yes." Xuan Jiu nodded: "To leave here, you must find the Beast God."
"And to find clues to the Beast God, you need to participate in a competition soon happening in the Royal City."
"Winning first place in the competition will get you the clues to the Beast God."
"What kind of competition?" With previous experience in two worlds, Xiao Jinsheng knew that leaving such a mini-world required completing tasks.
Or like Mo Jiao, beating the presence similar to the Illusion System.
Clearly, the presence in the Beast God Forest where Xuan Jiu was, really knew how to hide itself.
"Ooo Family Head." Having explained, Xuan Jiu started whimpering again.
He hugged Xiao Jinsheng tightly across the ceramic pot: "I really missed you."
"How could I ride a sedan, letting you chase behind?"
"You can't listen to Caicai, I'm not divorcing." Xuan Jiu cried out.
"Alright, alright, when I couldn't read your mind I noticed you were acting odd, mentioning divorce was just to provoke you." Xiao Jinsheng comforted the fox.
From the start, she never thought of giving up on Xuan Jiu, just fleeing with Caicai.
Since Xuan Jiu acted like a stranger to her, and even changed manners.
If issues won't be found here.
Then just knock him out and take him along, waiting for treatment after leaving the Beast God Forest.
But this time Xiao Jinsheng almost succeeded in a sneak attack, coincidentally running into Xuan Jiu who didn't need to disguise, directly using his signature move slide.
"Since leaving here requires finding the Beast God, what's the competition for the clues?" Xiao Jinsheng asked: "Will you participate?"
Mentioning this, Xuan Jiu immediately nodded confidently.
"Of course, I'll participate in this competition." Xuan Jiu smiled broadly: "I also believe I can secure first place."
"Puppet?" Xiao Jinsheng was delighted: "Is the competition manipulating puppets? In this world with inexplicable forces prying, could it be mind-reading?"
"Family Head, you're breaking the fox's heart, you don't understand the fox at all." Xuan Jiu closed his eyes hurt.
He casually grabbed some pepper and tossed it into the pot, unhappily stating: "I am the Kitchen God, this competition is the Kitchen King Showdown."
"What, what?" Xiao Jinsheng doubted her ears.
"The Kitchen King Showdown." Xuan Jiu kindly repeated.
Xiao Jinsheng closed her eyes, recalling the seasonings planted along the Royal Palace path: "I should have thought of it."
A mini-world matching Xuan Jiu.
Could it be some normal world?
"How do you compete? In your Royal Palace?" Knowing Xuan Jiu's culinary skills, Xiao Jinsheng began to worry.
If the competition is in the Royal Palace.
Being the King of this Royal City, other contestants would likely yield to him, right?
At least as the King of this Royal City, even presenting a pot of dung would receive praises as good.
"This Beast God Forest has many Royal Cities, mine is just one, the Reishi Royal City." Xuan Jiu explained: "When the time comes everyone from the Royal Cities will be transported to Beast God Cliff for the cooking competition."
"In Reishi Royal City, only I have the strength to compete."
"This time in the Kitchen King Showdown, only I have the strength to get first place."
"Xiao Jinsheng, why aren't you speaking?"
"Don't you trust me?"
"Don't believe in my cooking skills?"
"My culinary skills have improved okay, I'll cook a pot for you to taste right now."
Seeing as Xuan Jiu got eager the more he asked, Xiao Jinsheng quickly changed the topic: "Of course I believe in your cooking skills, I was just thinking about how long to soak in this potion bath?"
"How long does one soak last?"
"And this green stuff…" Xiao Jinsheng pointed to her own fair skin now turned green: "It won't wash off, right?"
"Of course it can't be washed off, it's used to block the prying force." Xuan Jiu scooped water and poured more potion down her neck.
Her already green skin turned even greener.
"Green is fine." Since it's for safety, Xiao Jinsheng compromised.
She pointed to her neck bitten by the fox earlier, cold gaze fell on Xuan Jiu: "Who allowed you to bite so hard?"
"I'm wronged, Family Head!" Xuan Jiu cried out, defending himself: "I bit for a long time which caused the red mark, I didn't use my teeth, nor dared to break the skin, it's just a pressed red mark."
"Do you not like this green potion?" Xuan Jiu teased with a smile.
"It's green as if it turned into a spirit of bitter gourd, do you like it?" Xiao Jinsheng retorted.
"Actually, without the potion bath, there's another method to block that prying force." Xuan Jiu's smile deepened.
"What method?" Xiao Jinsheng naturally asked.
Xuan Jiu's fingertips brushed through the green potion, his skin remained white, it didn't turn green like Xiao Jinsheng's.
"My aura itself can help hide, blocking that prying force." Xuan Jiu leaned close, nose to nose with Xiao Jinsheng.
In the rising mist, their breaths intertwined.
Xuan Jiu pressed his lips to Xiao Jinsheng's lips, teasing with a smile: "Like this, leaving my aura on you."
"Really?" Xiao Jinsheng squinted dangerously.
"Absolutely." Xuan Jiu nodded and dropped another kiss.
"Wang Dajiu." Xiao Jinsheng suddenly spoke.
Xuan Jiu's ongoing action paused, looking at Xiao Jinsheng helplessly: "At such a time, don't call me that name."
Really ruins the mood.
"Since your aura can help me hide, then let me ask you." Xiao Jinsheng curiously said: "Why do you need disguises outside?"
