Chapter 231 Liu Erlong's Wish
After taking a bath.
The sky was gradually darkening, with only a sliver of dusk remaining in the western distance; night was about to fall.
At this moment, Liu Erlong was still tending to the green plants and flowers, bending her graceful figure to carefully weed and repel insects.
This scene has a unique charm.
Ye Qifeng admired it for a while.
Noticing that Liu Erlong's cheeks were still somewhat pale and lacked color, it seemed that although his injuries had healed, the lost blood and energy had not yet been replenished.
Ye Qifeng pondered for a moment, then turned and went to the kitchen.
Because Liu Erlong often went out to take on jobs to earn gold coins, he was rarely home, so there was no surplus food stored at home.
The entire kitchen was very clean, with nothing but tableware and cooking utensils.
Ye Qifeng shook his head slightly, pondered for a moment, and took out ingredients, as well as some herbs or tonics from his amethyst crystal ring.
In his memory, in his previous life, he was constantly struggling to survive on the brink of life and death, and injuries and blood loss were common occurrences. Therefore, he often needed to find ways to replenish his blood and qi to recover from his injuries.
As the saying goes, "Experience makes one a good doctor."
Over time, he mastered many methods for nourishing blood and qi. For example, the rabbit porridge he specially steamed for Liu Erlong in Sunset Forest was one of them.
However, the soft-boned rabbits caught in Sunset Forest have all been eaten, so there's no way to make rabbit porridge.
So Ye Qifeng is preparing to make another more classic dish, a porridge specifically for nourishing blood and qi: Astragalus and Angelica Porridge.
Of course, this Astragalus and Angelica porridge is not just a simple Astragalus and Angelica porridge, because the herbs and tonics added to it are all extraordinary, after all, they have been nourished by the spiritual energy of Douluo Continent.
Even if the spiritual energy in this world is relatively thin, as long as it has been nourished by spiritual energy, its medicinal effects will naturally be extraordinary.
Considering Liu Erlong's bottomless belly and somewhat exaggerated appetite, and given that her injuries had already healed, Ye Qifeng made sure to prepare a generous amount of porridge this time.
Not long after.
As the daylight faded, night fell completely.
The care and treatment of green plants and flowers is now complete.
Looking at the green plants and flowers that had regained their vitality and were no longer wilted, Liu Erlong's pretty face showed a satisfied smile.
She raised her smooth, glossy arms, wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead, then carefully washed her hands with clean water, shaking off the water droplets as she walked back into the house.
Seeing Ye Qifeng busy in the kitchen, Liu Erlong was stunned for a moment, then understood what was going on. He felt a warmth in his heart, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips. His eyes were clear and filled with expectation.
Then, she subconsciously walked over, her delicate figure leaning against the kitchen door, and quietly watched for a while.
"Xiao Feng, do you need my help?"
After a moment of contemplation, Liu Erlong parted her red lips slightly, exhaled a fragrant breath, and asked a question in a clear and melodious voice.
"No need, Sister Erlong, I can do it. You rest for a while, dinner will be a while later."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qifeng turned his head and returned her a smile.
His senses were sharp; he had already noticed Liu Erlong as she stepped into the house, and he also noticed that she had been leaning against the kitchen doorway, observing him for quite some time.
"Okay, I'll go take a shower first. I was busy taking care of those flowers and I worked up a sweat. All that shower I took at Huiyin's during the day was for nothing. Sigh..."
Liu Erlong smiled brightly, not being coy with him, and seemed to have gotten used to his care. She spoke in a relaxed and cheerful manner, without any reservations.
Fifteen minutes passed.
Having already thoroughly washed herself during the day, Liu Erlong didn't spend too much time taking a bath this time.
She simply lathered up her skin to clean away the sweat, took a scalding hot shower, and changed into a more homely light blue dress.
Yes, of course, the clothes were one of the twenty or thirty pieces that Ye Qifeng bought for her.
Meanwhile, Ye Qifeng's dinner was ready. The astragalus and angelica porridge, specially steamed for Liu Erlong to nourish her blood and qi, had been sitting out for quite some time.
The bathroom door opened.
Accompanied by a wisp of mist, Liu Erlong, tall and slender with graceful curves, dressed in a light blue dress and wearing soft slippers, stepped out with a lithe, elegant gait.
At this moment, her bright face was flushed, and the rest of her exposed skin was also rosy, making her look incredibly charming, seemingly due to the high temperature of the hot water.
After all, women always like to turn the water temperature up really high when they take a bath, to the point that it can scald them to death.
"Xiao Feng, where did you buy this towel? It's so soft and smells wonderful!"
Liu Erlong walked out of the bathroom, holding a light purple towel in her hand. While drying her wet hair, she asked Ye Qifeng a question.
She had just changed her clothes and was reluctant to use her remaining soul power to dry the moisture in her hair. She wanted to find a towel to wipe it, and just then she noticed a dry and clean light purple towel hanging on the towel rack next to her, so she picked it up.
Unexpectedly, the towel felt exceptionally soft and comfortable in her hand, with excellent absorbency and a unique, pleasant fragrance. She took just one sniff and immediately fell in love with it.
Although Liu Erlong knew that it belonged to Ye Qifeng.
But being naturally cheerful, she didn't have many reservations. She thought that since it was her brother's stuff, it shouldn't be a problem for her to use it.
So, I just used it to wipe my hair.
Ye Qifeng, who was sitting at the dining table waiting, looked up when he heard the question and saw the light purple towel in Liu Erlong's hand. His heart skipped a beat, and he was dumbfounded.
That was the towel that Teacher Bibi Dong and he used to share.
The fragrance that Liu Erlong mentioned was actually the body fragrance of his teacher, Bibi Dong.
The towel had a special fragrance because it had been used by his teacher, Bibi Dong.
Not long ago, after he finished taking a bath, he used his soul power to evaporate the water. Thinking that he would be living here for a long time, he did not put it back into the amethyst crystal ring, but instead hung it on the towel rack in the bathroom.
Unexpectedly, it was Liu Erlong who used it.
Ah, this
Ye Qifeng didn't know what to say.
But since it's already been used, should we let him blame Liu Erlong?
He can't do it either.
I wonder what Liu Erlong would think if she discovered that the fragrance on the towel was actually Bibi Dong's body scent.
Um.
You can't tell her that now.
"These towels are specially supplied by the Spirit Hall of Spirit City; you can't buy them anywhere else."
Ye Qifeng's noodles twitched slightly, his lips trembled, and it took him a long time to answer.
"Oh, is that so? That's a pity. I was thinking of buying a few to use."
Liu Erlong paused in wiping her hair, glanced at the towel in her hand with great affection, but felt a great pity when she heard that it was unavailable.
Seeing Liu Erlong's expression, Ye Qifeng couldn't help but think that she really liked that towel.
Well, since she likes it, I'll just give it to her. She's already used it anyway.
Besides, I have several more of these towels, and Teacher Bibi Dong has plenty too, so one more won't make a difference.
With a thought in mind, Ye Qifeng looked at Liu Erlong and chuckled softly:
"Since Sister Erlong likes it, you can take this towel and use it."
"Really? You're giving it to me?"
Liu Erlong was pleasantly surprised and immediately asked, "Then what are you going to do?"
"It's okay, I still have some here."
Ye Qifeng waved his hand dismissively.
"Thank you, Xiaofeng."
Liu Erlong smiled sweetly, holding the towel with obvious delight. She gently inhaled its fragrance and exclaimed in admiration:
"It smells so good!"
Then she happily continued to rub her hair with it.
Ye Qifeng watched her movements, his eyelids twitching involuntarily, his mind racing with thoughts:
"My apologies, my apologies~~~"
"Second Sister, it's time for dinner."
After Liu Erlong finally dried his hair, Ye Qifeng called out at the opportune moment.
"Here you are."
Liu Erlong responded, placed the towel down, and, stepping into his soft slippers, quickly walked to the dining table and sat down.
"This is astragalus and angelica porridge, please try it, Sister Erlong."
Ye Qifeng took out a bowl and spoon and ladled a full bowl of porridge for Liu Erlong.
"Astragalus and Angelica Root Porridge?"
Liu Erlong asked, as she had never heard of it and was very curious.
"Astragalus and Angelica porridge is a type of porridge specifically for replenishing qi and blood."
Ye Qifeng nodded and began to explain, "I noticed that Sister Erlong's complexion is still somewhat pale and lacks color, which should be due to excessive blood loss from her previous serious injury. Therefore, I specially cooked this pot of astragalus and angelica porridge for you to replenish your qi and blood."
"Given that my sister's injuries have healed, I added many potent herbs and tonics to this Astragalus and Angelica porridge, making it much more potent than the previous rabbit porridge."
"After you finish this pot of astragalus and angelica porridge, I believe that by tomorrow, your lost blood and energy will be replenished and you will return to normal levels."
After hearing the introduction, Liu Erlong stared intently at Ye Qifeng with her dark eyes, feeling incredibly warm inside.
For so many years, she hadn't felt this kind of care, this tenderness, this feeling of being cherished.
"Xiao Feng, you're so thoughtful."
At this moment, Liu Erlong bit her red lips, her eyes involuntarily reddening slightly. In order to hold back the tears that were about to well up in her eyes, and not wanting Ye Qifeng across from her to notice, she quickly lowered her head after saying a sentence, picked up her spoon, and began to eat her porridge.
Snore~~
The soft sounds of people eating porridge could be heard continuously.
Ye Qifeng didn't say anything more and started eating his food.
It didn't take long.
Soon, the large pot of astragalus and angelica porridge, which was quite substantial, was all gone. Liu Erlong finally felt full, patted his slightly bulging belly, and let out a satisfied sigh.
Just then, Ye Qifeng finished his meal.
Upon seeing this, Liu Erlong quickly tried to get up to clear the dishes and take them to be washed.
But Ye Qifeng pressed her back down, and at the same time, he heard Ye Qifeng's gentle voice:
"Sister Erlong, don't move. Sit down and rest for a while. I'll take care of the dishes."
Before Liu Erlong could say anything, Ye Qifeng quickly cleared away the dishes and went into the kitchen to wash them.
Liu Erlong was stunned for a moment, but obediently remained still, sitting quietly with her chin resting on her hand, just as she had done in Sunset Forest, watching Ye Qifeng's busy figure.
For a moment, my thoughts drifted off to who-knows-where.
Early the next morning.
Ye Qifeng emerged from the Yin-Yang Space, his spiritual energy returning to his physical body. He opened his eyes, quickly washed up in the attached bathroom, and then opened the door and went out.
Upon entering the living room, a figure dressed in a light blue dress quickly came into view.
And that figure was none other than Liu Erlong.
At this moment, she sat quietly on the soft sofa, her hands clasped together and placed between her thighs, her eyes unfocused, her whole body motionless, as if she were in a daze.
Even when Ye Qifeng walked over, he didn't notice.
Seeing Liu Erlong all alone and looking preoccupied, Ye Qifeng frowned, thought for a moment, and then walked over.
"Sigh~~"
As soon as Ye Qifeng sat down on the other side, he heard Liu Erlong suddenly let out a sigh.
"What's wrong? Sister Erlong, why did you suddenly sigh?"
Ye Qifeng immediately asked with concern.
Hearing the question, Liu Erlong snapped out of her reverie and refocused her eyes, only then realizing that Ye Qifeng was already sitting opposite her. However, she did not reply immediately, but instead lowered her head and remained silent.
"Sister Erlong, you can tell me what's on your mind."
Ye Qifeng looked at her and continued.
After a moment of contemplation, Liu Erlong thought it over carefully and decided it would be better to talk to Xiao Feng about it.
Once she made up her mind, she immediately raised her head, looked at Ye Qifeng opposite her, and softly spoke:
"Xiaofeng, I'm a little confused."
"confused?"
Ye Qifeng paused for a moment.
"Um."
Liu Erlong nodded slightly and said, "It's just that I suddenly have free time, and I feel a little unsure of what to do with it."
"I see."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qifeng suddenly realized what was going on and began to ponder.
That's true. Because of the fire attribute of the Fire Dragon Martial Soul, her mother's death, and the influence of the useless master, many factors combined caused her to become lost in the killing and unable to extricate herself.
If things had gone according to the original course of fate, she would have met "Shoehorn" Flander again. Under Flander's constant encouragement and persuasion, she was able to curb her bloodthirsty nature. After separating from Flander, in order to control her killing instincts, she founded Blue Tyrant Academy and lived a semi-secluded life in the forest.
However, because of my appearance, her murderous nature was suppressed in advance. After her mind returned to clarity, her previous life of killing suddenly became peaceful and comfortable, which made her feel somewhat lost and helpless.
It seems we still need to find her something to do.
Otherwise, if she remains in a state of confusion for an extended period, it's hard to guarantee that she won't become depressed again.
Moreover, although her bloodlust has been suppressed because of my presence, it is only a temporary suppression and has not been completely resolved; there are still hidden dangers.
But I can't always be by her side, so she still has to rely on herself.
Why not help her build Blue Tyrant Academy?
That's a good idea.
Firstly, it can give her something to do so she won't be too bored, and secondly, it can distract her from recalling things she shouldn't remember.
Secondly, it can also provide her with a peaceful place to recuperate and help her control her murderous instincts.
After a moment's thought, Ye Qifeng, having made up his mind, immediately asked Liu Erlong in a gentle voice:
"Second Sister, is there anything you want to do? Like a wish you want to fulfill?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong's eyes lit up, and the three wishes he had once made immediately came to mind.
The first reason is to seek justice for my mother.
But this wish is now difficult to fulfill because the wedding incident back then caused her to break up with that person, making it almost impossible for him to acknowledge her as his mother.
The second is to get back with that man.
But this wish is difficult to fulfill, because the man has been avoiding her and is afraid to face her. She doesn't know where he is hiding now, so it's hopeless.
The third goal is to create an advanced Soul Master academy that only admits ordinary students.
Back then, her mother brought her to Heaven Dou City alone so that she could receive a better education, but she was not able to enroll in the Advanced Soul Master Academy because she was from a commoner background and was therefore rejected.
Her current Soul Saint level of 75 Soul Power is the result of years of hard work and cultivation in life-and-death battles. Only she knows how much suffering she endured and how much hardship she went through.
Therefore, having come from a commoner background, she always knew just how difficult it was for a commoner soul master to receive an education at an advanced soul master academy.
During their time at lower and intermediate Soul Master academies, commoner Soul Masters were able to obtain the opportunity for Soul Master academy education by paying lower tuition fees or working as part-time students.
But the Advanced Soul Master Academy is different.
First of all, the exorbitant tuition fees deter countless eligible commoner soul masters.
Secondly, there are advanced soul master academies, which almost exclusively admit aristocratic students and do not admit commoner students. Even those academies that are willing to admit commoner students have many requirements and restrictions on them.
Therefore, she has always dreamed of creating an advanced Soul Master academy that only admits ordinary students.
However, there is an important problem.
That is... she has no money!
For so many years, she has almost tirelessly taken on jobs to hunt for spirit rings, earning gold spirit coins, and even saving every penny to make money for this wish.
Although she has accumulated a considerable amount of gold soul coins, it is still far from enough to create an advanced soul master academy.
Thinking about my three wishes, I realized that none of them could be fulfilled.
Liu Erlong couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
