"Grandpa Zhao, why is there no sound outside?" Su Rongrong asked Zhao Ting, who was also lying on the stairs below the deck.
"How would I know …" Zhao Ting said in a muffled voice. "Rongrong, hurry up and call them. Otherwise, the dishes you spent half a day making will be cold."
"Hmph, the son-in-law personally ordered Grandpa Zhao to call Young Master Yan and Miss Shen down to eat. It has nothing to do with me. You forced me to come …" Su Rongrong said angrily.
Zhao Ting begged, "Good Rongrong, at my age, I really can't bear to see a child cry. I'm afraid I can't help but want to cry too. Also, think about what kind of person Young Master is. If others see him crying, they might kill him … "
The last sentence was the main point.
Su Rongrong was even angrier. She widened her eyes and said, "Then what if I am killed?"
Zhao Ting said, "You are the Inspector of Phoenix Hall. How would he dare? Rongrong, help Grandpa Zhao this time. Grandpa will listen to you in the future. If you tell Grandpa to go east, Grandpa will not go west, okay? "
Su Rongrong thought about it again and again and felt that Zhao Ting was right. No matter how arrogant Yan Li was, he would not dare to hurt her. So she raised her head proudly, "Now you know the power of Phoenix Hall." She got up and went to open the door, preparing to go to the deck to call people. Unexpectedly, when the door opened, there was a person standing outside. It seemed that he was about to open the door and come in. He looked at them suspiciously, "You, what are you doing?"
"Ah, it's Saint Shen," Su Rongrong said calmly, "Where is Young Master Yan? Son-in-law told me to call you for dinner. "
Zhao Ting got up and secretly gave Su Rongrong a thumbs up.
"There's food?" A voice from behind said, and then rushed in, following the smell.
The three went down to the dining room and saw that Yan Li was already gorging himself like a wild beast.
Su Rongrong couldn't help muttering, "How long has he been hungry?"
Liumu Bingjian held a cup of wine in his hand and watched Yan Li eat with a smile. He said, "It seems that the Evil Prison's reputation is well-deserved. If I were to starve for six years, I wouldn't be any better than Brother Yan."
Su Xingyu raised his cup and toasted Liu Letian. The two of them hit it off well. Su Xingyu finished the wine in his cup, put it down and sneered, "If Weiwei sees you like this, I wonder if he will still like you."
Yan Li paused as if remembering something. He picked up a plate of chicken legs and walked down to the cabin where Li Hongzhuang was imprisoned. Seeing that she was trying to break free from the chains, he smiled and said, "Don't try. Liu Letian's Law Domain is very special. If he treats you as a criminal, you won't be able to break free."
"What are you doing here?" Li Hongzhuang asked coldly.
"Here, smell it. Doesn't it smell good?" Yan Li brought a chicken leg under Li Hongzhuang's nose.
Li Hongzhuang's stomach was rumbling with hunger. She opened her mouth to take a bite, but Yan Li immediately withdrew his hand and brought it under his nose. He licked it. "Ah, it's so delicious. How can there be such delicious food in the world? And I'm going to eat it all. I'm so happy."
"Bastard, what do you want?" Li Hongzhuang said hatefully.
"I'm just teasing you." Yan Li laughed and placed the chicken leg on the table. "These are all yours. Later, I'll see if I can trick some pills from Su Xingyu to help you recover your cultivation."
Li Hongzhuang cast a sidelong glance at the chicken leg and said, "You won't treat me so well. You're definitely using me. I won't fall for your tricks!"
Yan Li said, "Don't think too much. What happened here has nothing to do with the grudges outside. After we leave, you can still hate me and kill me, but I won't obediently accept my death. Moreover, there are conditions for helping you recover your cultivation so that you can protect yourself. My condition is that before you return to the Jambu Gate, you must live in peace with the people on the ship. "
。”
"Follow them?" Li Hongzhuang sneered. "Those who dared to touch me just now will all die!"
Yan Li couldn't help but frown. "I thought you were smart. After we escape, I don't care what you do, but here, you must be in the same boat as us. Otherwise, you'll be locked here. After we get out, we'll have Bing Jian tie you up and take you back to the immortal realm as a prisoner. "
Li Hongzhuang smiled strangely. "Alright, you can try."
Yan Li had thought he understood this woman somewhat. He hadn't expected her to be so fickle. He couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. The most terrifying of the three disasters, the "Sword Slaughter," was about to arrive. With such an unstable factor, he was filled with worry about the return journey. He turned to leave, but was stopped again.
"Hey!"
"You changed your mind?"
Li Hongzhuang gestured at the drumstick on the table. "My hands and feet are tied. How do you want me to eat?"
Yan Li walked back, picked up the drumstick, and brought it to Li Hongzhuang's mouth. "Eat."
Li Hongzhuang smiled tenderly. "You'd rather serve me than let me go. Seeing you so afraid of me makes me inexplicably happy."
"Are you going to eat or not?" Yan Li took the drumstick, his expression darkening.
"I'll eat. Don't take it so far, I can't reach it!" Li Hongzhuang said tenderly.
Yan Li could not keep a straight face and could not help but laugh out loud.
Li Hongzhuang nibbled on the drumstick quickly and said with a lisp, "What are you laughing at?"
Yan Li was worried that she would change her expression again, so he covered it up. "Nothing."
After a few drumsticks entered her stomach, Li Hongzhuang licked her lips. "Yan Li, hurry and prepare more food. I want more!"
Yan Li said, "Before we reach an agreement, I won't let you eat anymore."
Any cultivator could "refine essence into qi". Once food entered the stomach, it would be completely digested in less than a quarter of an hour. Similar to the principle of waking insects, it would leave behind the essence that provided nutrients for the body and eliminate impurities. The impurities would be excreted from the pores in the form of powder invisible to the naked eye.
Converting the essence left behind into qi was called "refining essence into qi". Thus, eating was also a form of cultivation for cultivators. However, because the effects were too poor and the requirements for the ingredients were too high, very few people would do it.
These drumsticks could only be considered the most ordinary of ordinary ingredients. They could only help Li Hongzhuang recover some strength and ease her discomfort.
Li Hongzhuang's expression turned cold. "Don't even think about it!"
Yan Li said, "Six years in the prison has made you upright and honest? I thought that even if you didn't agree in your heart, you would at least agree on the surface and make a big fuss after recovering your cultivation. "
Li Hongzhuang said coldly, "Who told you to let them lock me up?"
Yan Li said, "You want to treat others like slaves. What would you do if they didn't lock you up?"
Li Hongzhuang said faintly, "Six years in prison, I've saved you many times. It's fine if you don't care about our friendship, but you actually treat me like a prisoner. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
Yan Li felt a headache coming on. "What do you want?"
Li Hongzhuang said, "I don't want anything. I just regret not eating your heart."
"You can do it now." Yan Li suddenly moved and used the Leaving Cliff Sword to cut off the chains. He said indifferently, "I usually don't give people a second chance. I'll give you one now."
Li Hongzhuang stretched out her hand and formed it into a claw, probing Yan Li's chest. Seeing that he didn't dodge or resist, she slowly retracted her hand.
"What?"
Yan Li said, "I won't give you a third chance."
Li Hongzhuang's beautiful eyes flashed. "Now that escaping is in sight, don't you want to go back and continue your revenge? You'll have nothing left if you die. "
Yan Li said, "In life, there are some things that can be avoided and some things that can't. Six years in the Evil Prison. If it weren't for you, I would have died a long time ago. It was you who allowed me to live until rescue arrived. I can repay this kindness regardless of the cost, but I will never let you control my will. "
Li Hongzhuang laughed tenderly. "When did I want to control your will? I couldn't in the past, so why do you think you can now? " She gently caressed Yan Li's face, her eyes mesmerizing. "Yan Shifang, don't think that just because you slept with me for a few days, you've become someone to me. Although I, Li Hongzhuang, am unscrupulous, I disdain using my body to achieve my goals. "
"That's good," Yan Li said.
Li Hongzhuang pressed her cheek against Yan Li's and blew into his ear. She whispered like she was talking to a lover, "Little brother, if you want me to agree to your agreement, you have to agree to one condition of mine."
"Speak," Yan Li said.
Li Hongzhuang said seductively, "I said that you're a tool to please me. When we return to the Jambu Kingdom, you have to be at my beck and call."
"Okay," Yan Li said.
"So straightforward. Don't tell me you're planning to promise me first and then go back on your word?" Li Hongzhuang said.
"What are you saying? Isn't pleasing me mutual?" Yan Li smiled wickedly and grabbed the other's sensitive spot.
Li Hongzhuang couldn't help but let out a cry. Her slightly red face was tender and alluring, and her bewitching and alluring eyes were filled with indescribable heat. "Hey, that person called Chen Liuyun outside is looking at us …"
Yan Li was so frightened that he quickly let go and turned around. Sure enough, he saw Shen Liuyun standing outside. He walked out. "Auntie, why are you here … You … You heard everything we said?"
Shen Liuyun said coldly, "I didn't come early, but I heard everything I needed to hear. Pleasing each other, getting on the bed. If I didn't come, would you still be having sex in broad daylight?"
"Well …" Yan Li smiled apologetically. "Well, it's getting late …"
Shen Liuyun was infuriated. She reached out and grabbed Yan Li's ear. "You've really been neglected since you were young. You're used to being wild and have no sense of propriety. I'm going to discipline you on behalf of my sworn brother!"
"You guys talk slowly. I'm going to eat." Li Hongzhuang acted as if nothing had happened. She smiled sweetly and walked past the two.
"Auntie, it hurts …" After venting, Yan Li became much more cheerful. Even if it didn't hurt, he tried hard to grimace and pretend to be in pain.
Shen Liuyun snorted coldly and let go. She went to sit on a chair. Her sitting posture was dignified and natural. She had the demeanor of a young lady from a wealthy family. She said sternly, "Kneel!"
Yan Li had no choice but to kneel in front of her. Her expression softened a little. She said, "The Bai family has been loyal and virtuous for generations. Seven generations of your ancestors have been part of the Nine Ministers. You're the nobility of the nobility. You have noble blood flowing in your body. Be careful of your shame and follow propriety. There's no marriage between you and her. The ancients said, 'Men and women shouldn't touch each other.' This is impolite. You don't have any sense of propriety. You're having an affair with a misbehaving, flirtatious, and lascivious woman. Are you trying to anger your ancestors back to life? "
She didn't give Yan Li a chance to speak. She continued unhappily, "It seems that in these six years, you've had many conflicts. Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to help you issue the engagement letter and marry her."
