Chapter 22 Koi Fish
Having caught a big fish, Shen Yao was in a great mood. She tied the girl up and brought her inside, then took a glass of fruit wine, took a sip, smacked her lips, and murmured, "Mmm...so refreshing!"
This fruit wine is so delicious!
The "Dongdong Fruit" is a fruit that grows on the Dongdong Tree. When ripe, the fruit is orange-yellow and makes a "dongdong" sound when shaken.
The Dongdong tree got its name from this.
Pick enough Dongdong fruits, wash them clean, crush them, and pour them into a container.
Then cover the crushed fruit with the broad leaves of the Dongdong tree, cover the container, and it will be ready to brew in half a month.
The fruit wine made from Dongdong fruit has a fragrant aroma, a sweet taste, and a slightly spicy aftertaste that lingers on the tongue.
It brings pleasure and comfort to the drinker!
He poured another glass of Dongdong fruit wine and placed it in front of the girl.
With a wicked grin on his face, Shen Yao brought the fruit wine to the girl's nose, shook it, and then took it away, like a villain teasing an innocent young girl.
The girl's round nose twitched involuntarily.
"Want some?" Shen Yao asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I, I, I didn't mean to!" the girl apologized immediately. "I'm sorry, I was just too hungry."
"Oh?" Shen Yao put down the fruit wine. "I've been feeding you bait for a month, and you're still hungry?"
He examined the girl's round face and figure for a while, then shook his head and clicked his tongue, saying, "You look so blessed, you don't seem hungry."
"I, I, I..." The girl said "I" loudly three times, then lowered her voice and said softly, "I have never smelled such fragrant food, and I have never eaten such delicious food..." The girl's voice grew softer and softer.
Shen Yao did not intend to make things difficult for a little girl. However, in these mountains, apart from strange beasts and the occasional cultivator who came up to gather herbs, she had not seen any living creature that looked like a human for a long time.
I suddenly came across such an adorable little girl.
Yes, it's interesting and fun!
I feel that my otherwise dull life has become a little more interesting.
He loosened the rope binding the girl, pushed the fruit wine in front of her, and then served her a full bowl of clam and beast meat, gesturing for her to eat.
Shen Yao had already instructed the golden beetle to set up a forbidden zone within the clear pool area near the wooden house, so she wasn't worried about the girl running away.
Why doesn't Shen Yao set up her own forbidden realm? Hehe, because she has three spiritual roots, and the forbidden realm she sets up can only last for two days.
Two days weren't enough to catch that little rascal.
The girl began to eat the meat timidly, but this time she didn't wolf it down. She chewed slowly, taking a bite of meat and a sip of fruit wine at a time.
Although they ate slowly, they ate very cleanly.
Not a single grain of minced meat, not a drop of fruit wine was left.
He is a good child who doesn't waste food.
After clearing away the dishes, Shen Yao and the girl sat facing each other.
After eating and drinking her fill, the girl was no longer shy and patted her chest to thank Shen Yao: "Thank you for your hospitality, I will repay you!"
"Oh, you're not stuttering anymore," Shen Yao teased.
"Hehe." The little girl gave an awkward laugh, then raised her chin: "I really will repay you!"
"You don't need to repay me." Shen Yao looked into the girl's round, clear almond-shaped eyes: "You just need to answer my questions truthfully and don't hide anything."
The girl looked innocent and said, "Ask away, I'll tell you everything."
"Are you a demon?" Although it was a question, Shen Yao's tone was certain.
"I, I..." The girl stammered again, "I am indeed, a demon..."
The girl observed Shen Yao's expression and cautiously asked, "I am a demon, so will you kill me?"
If a demon trespasses into the territory of the immortals, it will indeed be killed at will once discovered.
Shen Yao replied, "I don't have a penchant for indiscriminate killing."
The girl immediately relaxed and beamed with joy: "You're so kind! You're the kindest among the immortals!"
Hmm... This line, this tone, sounds so familiar to Shen Yao.
When she flattered the sect leader, she always seemed to say things like: "Sect leader is the best in the world!"
Ugh... I'm suddenly starting to dislike myself...
Shen Yao asked, "How did you get here?"
The girl replied, "I swam here from Jiaoluo Sea along the Hengtong River."
Jiaoluo Sea is located in the northeast of the demon race's territory.
Minshan is located in the southwest of the Immortal Clan's territory.
Swimming from Jiaoluo Sea along the Hengtong River to Minxi, the journey also crosses the territory of the Demon Clan...
This girl is either extraordinary or extremely lucky.
Even with the golden beetle protecting her, she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't be discovered and killed while traversing between the realms of immortals and demons.
After all, he only has three spiritual roots, and his cheat ability needs to be built up, so he can only fight one-on-one.
Shen Yao used her spiritual power to probe and found that she could not see the girl's spiritual root, which meant that the girl's level was higher than hers. She then asked, "What kind of spiritual root do you have?"
The girl made no attempt to hide anything: "I am a seventh-grade, mid-level cultivator with four spiritual roots."
Hmm... Four spiritual roots, a level higher than mine.
If he hadn't practiced a divine-level martial art, he really wouldn't have been able to restrain her.
Shen Yao then asked, "How old are you?"
The girl thought for a moment and replied, "The harbinger bird has sung its song 125 times, and I am 125 years old this year."
Shen Yao almost bit her own cheek. One hundred and twenty-five years old, more than her two lifetimes combined. This was no girl, she was a grandmother!
She's still a grandmother who never ages.
Thinking that she was a grandmother, Shen Yao's tone unconsciously became more serious: "What are you doing here?"
"I want to go to Tianya Pool in Yuanzhou to leap over the Dragon Gate," the little girl's grandmother said honestly. "After leaping over the Dragon Gate, I can transform into a dragon!"
Leaping over the Dragon Gate... Transforming into a dragon... Shen Yao felt it was a bit fantastical. Why do carp in the world of cultivation of gods also have to leap over the Dragon Gate?
Carp...carp leaping over the dragon gate. Thinking this, Shen Yao asked again, "What kind of demon are you?"
“I am a koi fish,” the little girl’s grandmother added. “I am a koi fish with the bloodline of the Azure Dragon.”
Good heavens! Shen Yao exclaimed, "Good heavens! We already have the Azure Dragon. Surely there must be a White Tiger, a Vermilion Bird, and a Black Tortoise in this world too?"
Upon closer reflection, something seemed amiss: "If you were going to Yuanzhou, you should have swum into Fenzhou from the branch where the Minxi River and the Huanghe River meet, and then traveled northwest from Fenzhou directly to Yuanzhou. How did you end up here?"
This is at the foot of Minshan Mountain, and it's still a whole Jeju Island away from the tributary of Minxi that flows to Fenju.
Jinli pointed at Shen Yao's storage ring: "There is an aura inside you that is exactly the same as my master's."
This puzzled Shen Yao greatly: "Who is your master?"
The koi said, "I've hidden my master away. I'll take you to see him tomorrow."
The koi fish added, "I'll take you to see my hidden treasures tomorrow! I have so many treasures, enough to repay you!"
Shen Yao glanced at the sky and asked her last question of the night: "What's your name?"
The koi replied, "My name is Salty Fish, the Salty as in Salty Fish, the Fish as in Salty Fish."
What?! Good heavens, who gave this adorable little girl such a name, Salty Fish?!
A koi carp that's about to leap over the Dragon Gate, its name is Salty Fish!
A koi carp with the bloodline of a blue dragon, whose name is actually Salty Fish!
Shen Yao looked at the koi with pity. Could it be that all demon races use such random names?
The koi suddenly perked up again and added, "My master gave me this name!"
Shen Yao's eyes showed even more pity.
What a lucky koi!
Why!……
