"With this little monster around, it seems like the rise of the Duxu Peak is unstoppable."
The last person left of the five was Li Yu of the Phantom Devil Peak. He was usually taciturn and extremely shrewd.
Seeing the various discussions about the mysterious eldest disciple of the Duxu Peak, he finally couldn't help but sigh softly.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and everyone felt extremely depressed.
Li Yu's words were what everyone was most worried about, but at the same time, it was also the most undeniable point.
The dark and empty cell suddenly fell into a deathly silence, and everyone's heart felt heavy.
Legend had it that the day the Duxu Peak rose again would be the day the Dark Demon Sect would be bathed in blood?!
"Hu …"
Billowing hot air accompanied by a tempting fragrance wafted through the air, causing the spacious cave abode on the mountain peak to suddenly reveal a warm smell.
Spirals of smoke rose in spirals like a layer of immortal fog, forming a layer of hazy white clouds at the top of the cave abode.
In this beautiful dreamlike scene, a graceful and slender figure carefully carried a steaming hot pot of soup to Chu Chen and gently placed it on the clean stone table.
At this time, several exquisite side dishes were already placed on the stone table. Each dish looked, smelled, and tasted good, and made one's appetite swell.
Sitting next to the stone table, Chu Chen looked at the purple-haired girl in front of him with admiration. Her face was as indifferent as a doll's, and he couldn't hide his amazement.
To tell the truth, if he hadn't lived with Zi Xi for so many days, he would never have imagined that this incomparably cold girl was actually a good housewife.
Zi Xi liked to cook, stir-fry, and clean the house. When she had nothing to do, she liked to go out and gather some plants and fruits that even Chu Chen couldn't recognize to make a sumptuous dinner.
What made him speechless was that Zi Xi actually didn't eat much … Often, when she made a table of dishes, she would only taste a few mouthfuls, and more than 90% of it would end up in Chu Chen's stomach.
This woman, she seemed to cook purely because of her hobby. She just liked to do it, but he himself didn't like to eat that much.
Speaking of which, if he didn't marry such a woman, it would be a bit of a waste …
The corners of Chu Chen's mouth curved slightly. He watched as Zi Xi carefully placed the pot of soup on the table, then lowered her head and gently tasted it. She seemed to sigh in relief.
She glanced indifferently at Chu Chen and saw that the youth was holding his chin, his eyes darting around, as if he was thinking of something.
"This is ready."
After pausing for a moment, Zi Xi was about to turn around and leave, but Chu Chen stopped him. "Don't go."
"What?"
Zi Xi's indifferent purple eyes looked over again. For some reason, Chu Chen noticed that Zi Xi's eyes seemed to be a little different from before. They were no longer as emotionless as before. They were completely like a pool of stagnant water.
Now, there seemed to be a little more spirit in her purple eyes, and it seemed to have a different kind of charm to it.
"Every time I cook, you leave after taking a bite. That's so boring. Of course, when two people eat together, the taste is better."
Chu Chen chuckled. "Moreover, we live under the same roof, but we don't have much opportunity to communicate. Let's take this opportunity to chat. That's how we should act like a family."
Zi Xi's purple eyes stared indifferently at Chu Chen for a while. Suddenly, a trace of emotion appeared in the depths of her eyes, but it quickly calmed down again.
Zi Xi gently shook her head. "There's no need to understand. You can eat by yourself."
"Hey, you're not giving me any face."
Chu Chen raised his voice slightly. "In any case, I'm the owner of this place. You're just a guest who's staying here. As the saying goes, the guest has to follow the host's wishes. This is tantamount to breaking the rules here. How about this? I'll ask you a question. If you can answer it, I'll let you go. "
Zi Xi's figure paused for a moment. She turned around and looked at Chu Chen expressionlessly without saying a word.
"You … Have you ever liked anyone since you were young?"
Chu Chen's voice became a little low, and there was a sense of unconcealable curiosity in his voice.
"Someone I like?"
Zi Xi was stunned for a moment. A trace of confusion flashed across her clear, amethyst-like eyes. "What kind of person would be considered as someone I like?"
"It's someone you're willing to do anything for. You want to be with him for the rest of your life. No matter what difficulties you face, you don't want to be separated from him. No matter what price you have to pay, you don't want to hurt him."
Chu Chen grinned and asked with a mischievous smile.
The confusion in her light purple eyes deepened. It seemed that Chu Chen's question had made her fall into some kind of puzzle.
Zi Xi's usually indifferent expression actually changed several times in an instant. In the next moment, under Chu Chen's astonished gaze, he saw the purple-haired girl squint her eyes as if it was out of instinct …
She remembered that night when the wind was bitterly cold. She leaned against Chu Chen and looked up at the dark sky.
They leaned against each other and felt each other's warmth in this dark world.
That feeling was very special to her, very special!
The confusion in Zi Xi's beautiful purple gem-like eyes only lasted for a moment. Zi Xi seemed to have suddenly thought of something and shook her head.
The expression on her face quickly turned into a kind of decisiveness. "I don't need someone like that."
"Oh, are you sure?"
Chu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. "That's not necessarily true …"
Zi Xi shook her head slightly and glanced at him. "What else do you want? You've wasted a lot of my time. "
"Well, there's one more thing I need your help with."
Chu Chen smiled and pointed up. "What I want to say is that you haven't been to the top of the mountain for a few days …"
"I don't have a reason to go."
Zi Xi's indifferent face was expressionless.
"Didn't you say that you were going to wait for a young golden-winged roc?"
Chu Chen asked softly. "Don't you plan to do that now?"
"You're right. I'm waiting for that roc."
Zi Xi nodded woodenly. "But I thought about it. There's no need to wait there every night. If that golden-winged roc really comes, I'll naturally feel it. "
"Are you afraid of going to the top of the mountain?"
"I … No." Zi Xi suddenly realized that she was avoiding his gaze.
"Uh … Well, since you're not afraid of going to the top of the mountain, do me a favor."
Chu Chen smiled innocently.
Zi Xi instinctively took a step back.
