Chapter 207 The Fragrance of Plum Blossoms Penetrates the Bones
Su Yan didn't want Xiao Mei to disappear, so even though she knew she hadn't actually made the original vow, she was still willing to continue fulfilling the agreement.
After eating, Su Yan went to sleep. She had originally planned to go to Yunshan Mainland with Zhu Sanlang, but now that trouble had come knocking, her plans were ruined.
Zhu Sanlang is the island's owner and is fully aware of everything that happens on the island.
He only activated the killing formation of Yunmeng Island after Su Yan had rested.
Yunmeng Island was shrouded in a thick fog.
Anyone who gets even a wisp of mist will be dragged directly into the killing formation. Greed, anger, ignorance, hatred, love, evil, desire... as long as there is even a trace of darkness in one's heart, the killing formation will seize it and torture one to death.
The people of Tianmen Sect first encountered an illusion array.
The Taoist priest in green robes, Xie Zijin, possessed a pair of true eyes that could see through illusions. After breaking the illusion array, he immediately sensed that something was wrong and quickly led his fellow disciples and the disciples of the Hundred Rivers Sect away on their swords.
Just as we ascended into the air, we saw that the entire Yunmeng Island was quickly shrouded in thick fog.
"This is a killing formation!" Xie Zijin said with utmost caution.
However, Shen Huan, a disciple of the Plum Academy, disagreed. Moreover, the island's natural treasures were simply too tempting. "We should have gathered spiritual materials as soon as we arrived on the island."
Junior Sister Gong Hongjiao replied, "I just collected quite a few Ice Heart Grasses. But it's such a waste to have so many spiritual materials. Brother Jin, can't you break this killing formation?"
"I can't see through it, let alone explain it. Let's go back to our sect and tell our master about this island so he can make a decision. Shen Huan, you stay here and find a place to observe and wait for the message. Junior Sister, come back with me. And who are the two fellow Daoists from the Hundred Rivers Sect?"
"We will naturally return to our sect and report the matter of this precious land to the Elder Council."
"Alright, let's split up and communicate by telepathy."
The group immediately dispersed.
As for those pirates, once they entered the fog, they could never return.
……
When Su Yan woke up, she found that it was already dark.
The system map shows that, apart from the platform and these few rooms, almost everything else is shrouded in a very thick white fog.
Zhu Sanlang was in the kitchen, making exquisite crystal meat buns.
Looking at the translucent bun skin and the juicy, oily meat filling, Su Yan instantly felt ravenous.
[Xiaomei, Sanlang is not only a good teacher, but also a good cook! With just a simple recipe, he managed to create a finished product that looks exactly like the picture.]
[A reminder to the host: While the dishes may be exquisite, they may not be particularly nutritious. It is recommended to eat more fresh food.]
【Okay.】
Upon seeing Su Yan arrive, Zhu Sanlang hurriedly brought all the food to the table, saying, "I didn't know if you would like it, so I made a few extra dishes."
"They all look very good." Su Yan picked up her chopsticks and first took a bite of a crystal meat bun.
One bite, and it was even more delicious than I imagined; I almost bit my tongue.
"This is delicious! Sit down and eat with us."
"I'll serve you a bowl of flower porridge. The flower I used is the Rouge Snow Plum, which only blooms once every hundred years. It has a light fragrance, not too strong, but it's refreshing and long-lasting, with a miraculous effect of penetrating to the bone."
"What does 'fragrance penetrates to the bone' mean?" Su Yan asked.
Zhu Sanlang placed a large bowl of flower porridge in front of Su Yan.
The white porridge is sprinkled with crimson plum petals, and its aroma wafts through the air, making one's mouth water.
Zhu Sanlang replied, "It's the fragrance of plum blossoms that penetrates to the bone; the fox demon clan really likes this rouge-scented plum blossom fragrance."
"Oh? Why do foxes like this?" Su Yan picked up a spoon and took a bite of the porridge. Besides the aroma of rice and glutinous rice, there was also the fragrance of plum blossoms.
"Some fox spirits are born with a smell. Although they can use magic to temporarily cover it up, it is not a long-term solution. Rouge Snow Plum can help these fox spirits get rid of their body odor."
"Do I have a body odor?" Su Yan looked at Zhu Sanlang with an ambiguous smile.
Zhu Sanlang suddenly blushed and replied, "Yes..."
Su Yan's smile faltered slightly. "Huh? What's that smell?"
"It has a warm, sweet scent, somewhat like ripe fruit or blooming flowers. It smells wonderful, and I can never get enough of it."
Zhu Sanlang blushed and said hastily, "There's one more dish. I'll go get it."
He hurriedly got up and left.
Seeing his embarrassed expression, Su Yan picked up the spoon and took a few more sips. "Hmm, as long as it's not smelly, it's fine."
“No, absolutely not,” Zhu Sanlang immediately denied.
"Well, otherwise it would be so unfair to you when I do it."
“…I, I really like it.” Zhu Sanlang wasn’t as open and frank as Su Yan, who could speak of bedroom secrets as casually as drinking tea or eating.
Su Yan nodded, "If you like it, that's good. Pleasant sex is very beneficial to physical and mental health, so there's no need to shy away from it."
A deafening boom shook the heavens.
“Someone has trespassed on the island.” Zhu Sanlang put the dishes on the table. “I’ll go check it out. You eat first.”
"Just call out if you need help."
Zhu Sanlang laughed and said, "I am the island owner."
“That’s right, this is your territory.” Su Yan picked up another crystal meat bun, ate it in one bite, and said, “Go ahead.”
Zhu Sanlang disappeared into the thick fog.
"Can we see who broke into the island?" Su Yan asked Xiao Mei.
Xiao Mei immediately showed her the video: "[Zhu Sanlang may have met his match this time; a Saint-level high-ranking cultivator has come.]"
