Pei shi looked at Ming Xi with a smile. As she listened to him talk about what he had seen and heard along the way, she was frightened and her face turned pale several times. Especially when she heard that Ming Xi had encountered an earthquake in Canghai City, she was so scared that she almost stood up.
"Grandmother, we came back safe and sound. You don't have to worry." Ming Xi had already picked the least dangerous thing to say. He didn't expect Pei shi to be so scared.
"You are back, but who knows how much suffering you have suffered outside." Pei Shi said in a bad mood as she patted her chest with one hand. She was truly frightened.
Ming Xi grinned. "Others have suffered more."
"I don't know who you've taken after. Instead of being a young master, you chose to go out and suffer." Pei shi snorted. "Just like your parents, they still haven't returned, not even a letter. You don't even know where they are."
"My parents will be back soon." Ming Xi said. He actually did not know where they were now. The last time they had communicated, he only knew that they had gone to the Fang Clan. As for what had happened to the Fang Clan after that, he did not know.
However, according to the itinerary, they should be back soon.
Pei Shi's face lit up. "Really?"
"It should be." Ming Xi smiled. "Maternal Grandmother, Ming Yu and I will come visit you again tomorrow."
"Good, good." Pei shi smiled at the thought of seeing her precious granddaughter again.
When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, her eyes became thoughtful.
Ming Xi finished all the pastries that Pei shi had sent over. "Maternal grandmother, I'll be going back first."
"You're not staying for dinner?" Pei shi was a little disappointed. She still wanted to spend more time with Mingxi.
"I still have to go to Aunt Ye's place." Ming Xi said with a smile.
Pei shi heard that he still wanted to go to the Ye family, so she naturally couldn't stop him. "Then you go. Come home with Ming Yu early tomorrow."
Mingxi nodded in agreement and left the Lu family under Pei shi's reluctance.
He went to Ye's house before dark. Because Ye Chunnan was not there, only Jin Shanshan saw him. He told Jin Shanshan what he had told Pei shi and that his parents would be back soon. Finally, he returned to King Qin's Mansion when the moon was high in the sky.
As soon as he entered the backyard, he smelled a fragrance in the air.
Was he … barbecuing meat?
The corner of Ming Xi's eye twitched. When he wasn't around, they seemed to be able to find some fun.
He came to Ming Yu's courtyard. The fragrance in the air was even stronger. In the courtyard, Ming Yu found a barbecue rack from somewhere. Xu Jinbei was barbecuing meat for them. Beside him, there were a few maids preparing all kinds of food that could be barbecued.
Only Ming Yu and Shang'er were happily eating, while Fire Phoenix was gnawing on a leg of lamb.
"Hey, Ming Xi is back." Fire Phoenix waved at Ming Xi. "Come here quickly. This leg of lamb is delicious."
"You guys are having fun." Ming Xi walked over slowly and took the barbecue skewers that Xu Jinbei handed over. "Where did you find all these?"
"Shang'er wanted to eat barbecued meat, so Aunt Hong Ying helped us find the barbecue rack and asked the kitchen to prepare meat skewers for us."
Shang'er pointed to the vegetable skewers at the side. "And this. It's delicious too."
"Where did you go?" Ming Yu asked.
"The Lu and Ye families. We'll go to the Lu family tomorrow morning. Maternal grandmother and the rest miss you," Ming Xi said.
Ming Yu smiled and nodded. "Alright."
"Then when are we going to see the Beating Tree Flowers?" Shang'er asked excitedly.
"The temple fair is in two days. We can't see the Beating Tree Flowers so soon," Ming Xi said. "I'll take you there then."
Ming Yu called out, "I want it too, I want it too."
"We'll all go." Xu Jinbei smiled and exchanged a look with Ming Xi.
"Brother, this chicken leg is for you." Ming Yu handed the chicken leg to Ming Xi.
Fire Phoenix glanced at it, his face a little gloomy. He never ate chicken legs.
"Eh?" Shang'er looked up at the sky with a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong?" Fire Phoenix noticed her strange expression and walked to her side to ask in a low voice.
"Don't you feel it? There's a demonic beast's aura. "Shang'er frowned. She didn't sense it wrongly. There really was a very faint demonic beast's aura.
Fire Phoenix sniffed a few times in confusion. He didn't feel any demonic beast's aura.
"This is …" Shang'er released her spiritual power, trying to capture what kind of demonic beast it was. Such a faint demonic beast's aura, it was either very far away or it had just taken over.
But how could there be demonic beasts in the human continent?
"What's wrong?" Ming Xi felt Shang'er's spiritual power and walked over with a frown.
"Ming Xi, I feel the demonic beast's aura again." Shang'er whispered to him. "Although it's very faint, I'm sure … a demonic beast has entered Jingdu City."
Ming Xi said, "Didn't you say that Jingdu City is protected by Purple Qi and demonic beasts won't easily approach?"
"Yes, but if it's a demonic beast that has taken over, then it's the same as a mortal." Shang'er said.
"Could it be related to the gap in the natural disaster?" Ming Xi lowered his voice. He couldn't let anyone else know about this.
Shang'er said, "It's possible, but how could it be a demonic beast? Normally, demonic beasts wouldn't easily enter the gap."
Ming Xi glanced at Ming Yu and said to Shang'er and Fire Phoenix, "Let's go look for it tonight."
"We have to find it as soon as possible. As time passes, demonic beasts and mortals will truly merge into one. It'll be very difficult for us to find it." Shang'er said.
"Mn." Ming Xi nodded.
Ming Yu looked at them with a smile. "What are you guys talking about? Come and eat. "
"I'm coming." Ming Xi smiled as he walked towards Ming Yu.
After two hours, they finally dispersed and returned to their respective rooms. After washing up, Ming Yu lay down and fell asleep.
In the dead of night, the entire King Qin's Manor was peaceful.
Ming Xi flew up to the roof lightly. Not long after, Shang'er and Fire Phoenix appeared.
"Is Xu Jinbei asleep?" Ming Xi asked.
"I let him sleep until dawn." Fire Phoenix said with a grin.
Shang'er looked up at the sky. "Let's go. I can still feel the demonic beast's aura."
"Let's go!" Ming Xi nodded. Shang'er had said before that there was a demonic beast's aura, but he thought she was mistaken. Now that he felt it again, he felt that he had to pay attention to it.
Shang'er's speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they were already outside the city. She stood on the city wall, frowning as she looked around.
"What's wrong?" Ming Xi and Fire Phoenix landed beside her.
"It disappeared …" Shang'er frowned. Strange. There was clearly a demonic beast's aura just now.
Ming Xi's eyes flashed with astonishment. "How could it be?"
"Unless it left, or … it completely merged into a mortal," Shang'er said in a low voice.
