Speaking of which, Yue Qianchou's skill at roasting fish truly was quite good. A normal person would usually roast the fish until its exterior was charred black, but the one hundred before him were a golden yellow, glistening with oil, and exuding a rich aroma. They truly looked, smelled, and tasted good. In truth, the fish had already been roasted, but he had intentionally waited for a while to whet Li He's appetite. Seeing that the charcoal fire on the ground was about to extinguish, he made an inviting gesture. "Brother He, come, have a taste. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
"Okay, okay, okay!" Li He unceremoniously pulled out a scalding sword with two fish pierced through it. He opened his mouth and bit into the meat, but before he could even chew, he nodded at Yue Qianchou to show that it was delicious. Yue Qianchou smiled as he pulled out a sword and took a bite of the fish. He nodded, feeling that his skill had not deteriorated. A normal person would definitely feel scalding if they grabbed this sword, but one of them had a profound cultivation and was unafraid of this little heat, while the other cultivated a fire art and was unafraid of fire or high temperatures.
Since he had opened his mouth to eat, Li He did not stand on ceremony. He tossed aside the sword and the bone and picked up another to gorge himself on. Yue Qianchou smiled. He did not eat much of the food in his hand. After eating two skewers, he suddenly said, "Brother He, did you go to Twilight Valley to forge artifacts again today?"
"Mm, mm!" Li He replied as he chewed on the food in his mouth. He reached out to pull out a fourth skewer of fish. Yue Qianchou smiled. "When will you take me to Twilight Valley to broaden my horizons? I want to see what one of the Three True Flames, the Azure Flame, looks like."
"Uh …" Li He's outstretched hand froze in the air. He hesitantly pulled it back and shook his head. "Master said that I can't bring outsiders." His eyes were still glued to the other fish. It was clear that he had not had his fill, but if he refused Li He's request, it would be rather inexcusable.
Silly Bird, it was hard to change one's nature! Yue Qianchou smiled at his appearance and said, "Brother He, eat as much as you want. I can't finish all this by myself." As she spoke, she plucked out a string and handed it to him. "Do you think I'll be able to leave this place in the future?"
He Li said without any doubt, "In the Demon Region, without master's permission, no one dares to leave. Even if you can escape for a while, master will find you sooner or later. There has never been an exception."
"That's it." Yue Qianchou grinned and said, "Since I can't leave, only you, me, and Senior Bi will be staying on this island from now on. As time goes by, do you think I'll still be an outsider? Also, in the Demon Domain, I don't have any other friends. I truly regard Brother He as one of my own. Could it be that Brother He looks down on me and intends to treat me as an outsider? Even me going to see Twilight Valley's Blue Flame makes things so difficult for you? "
Upon hearing this, He Li looked at the grilled fish in his hand, feeling very conflicted. Yue Qianchou struck while the iron was hot, continuing, "In the future, if Senior Bi goes to the Holy Lands of the Eastern Realm, only you and I will be left on Obedient Island. Will us two brothers still count as outsiders?"
After saying this, he stared at He Li's fluctuating expression and silently smiled. After a long while, he chuckled and said, "In truth, I just wanted to see the difference between this legendary Blue Flame and ordinary ordinary flames. Forget it, since I've made things so difficult for Brother He, I, Yue Qianchou, do not like to force others against their will, so it doesn't matter if I don't see it or not. Let's stop here and pretend I never said anything. Brother He, continue eating. If it's not enough, I'll roast some more. "
It would have been fine if Yue Qianchou hadn't said anything, but now that he said it, He Li found it even harder to eat. Although he had a natural liking for eating fish, especially when it was roasted so deliciously and only once in a thousand years, he was no longer a beast that didn't understand human nature. He opened and closed his mouth, looking as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself. In the end, he buried his head in the fish without saying a word.
After making a certain someone's heart beat faster and faster, he still didn't get what he wanted to hear. Yue Qianchou touched his nose and said with a smile, "I see that Brother He really likes to eat roasted fish. How about this! I'll teach you my Yue family's secret roasting technique that has never been passed down to outsiders. Brother He can roast it anytime you want in the future, what do you think? "
"Ah!" He Li swallowed the food in his mouth and said in surprise, "How can this be? Since it's Brother Yue's secret technique, how can it be passed down to outsiders!"
"Brother He, you're treating me like an outsider." Yue Qianchou said with a serious expression, "In the future, when Senior Bi leaves, there will be only the two of us here. I treat you as a brother, and since we're brothers, how can I treat you as an outsider? It's settled then. Pick a time and I'll pass down this secret roasting technique to Brother He. In addition, I trust in Brother He's character. There's no way that you would privately teach this ancestral technique to others. "
He Li had no idea that there were all sorts of ways to roast food in the secular world, each with its own merits. He leaped to his feet and gazed at Yue Qianchou, momentarily so moved that he didn't know what to say. How could he have known that it was precisely because Yue Qianchou knew that he had never left the Demon Realm that he was blindly tricking him?
"Brother Yue treats me with sincerity, so I, He Li, will naturally return the favor." He Li took a big bite out of the roasted fish, crunching the bones as he swallowed it. He then said, "Tomorrow, I'll take Brother Yue to Twilight Valley to see Blue Fire."
Ah! Hard work pays off! Yue Qianchou was inwardly overjoyed, but on the surface, he hesitantly said, "That's not good! What if Senior Bi finds out? Forget it, no matter how much I want to see it, I can't do something that will implicate Brother He. "
He Li hesitated for a moment, then firmly said, "It's fine. Master usually doesn't return for a while, and I'm familiar with Twilight Valley's seals. I won't trigger them. As long as Brother Yue doesn't say anything, Master shouldn't know."
"Then I'll go take a look?" Yue Qianchou probed.
"Okay!" He Li glanced at the pile of roasted fish and said, "Once you finish eating this fish, we'll go." He then buried his head in the food.
Holy shit! What if you don't pay up after eating? Yue Qianchou formed a hand seal, and the grilled fish skewers on the ground flew into the air. A flying sword carried him up at the same time. Stepping on the sword, he waved his hand and said, "Brother He, I am really impatient to see what the legendary Azure Flame looks like. Come, let's eat on the way."
He Li glanced at the fish skewers already in the air and helplessly followed. Thus, several dozen fish skewers accompanied the two westward in a spectacular manner. Along the way, He Li casually tossed one to Yue Qianchou, and the flying sword flew into Yue Qianchou's hand.
By the time He Li had finished all the fish, Yue Qianchou stared strangely at his unsatiated stomach. This stomach really can hold one hundred fish! It must have weighed at least a hundred jin. He Li smacked his lips as if he hadn't had enough. "When the fish gets cold from the wind, the taste really is much worse."
Yue Qianchou squeezed out a smile. "There's no rush. Once we return, I'll immediately teach the secret technique to Brother He. There are many fish in this lake. When the time comes, Brother He can roast them whenever you want."
Hearing this, He Li's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly. After another two hours, they could already see the mountains in the distance. Yue Qianchou looked up at the sky, and then looked into the distance. He asked doubtfully, "Brother He, why is the sky above the entire Demon Ghost Region covered with dark clouds, but this thousand miles flat lake has a clear blue sky?"
With He Li's cultivation, he should have already reached the west bank, but he slowed down to accompany Yue Qianchou. He Li smiled. "I also don't know. According to Master, there seems to be something deep under the water. Master has dived down several times, but after reaching a certain depth, even with Master's cultivation, he can't go any further. Even his divine sense is blocked by something, and he can't find out what's down there. In fact, I've dived down before, but after a thousand meters, I can't go any further. It's very strange. "
"What? Even with Senior Bi's cultivation, he can't get to the bottom? "Yue Qianchou lowered his head to look at the deep blue lake in shock. It had to be known that Bi Changchun's cultivation had already reached the peak of the cultivation world, almost at the level of a half-immortal. To think that he couldn't even reach the bottom of a lake was simply too inconceivable. There was definitely something strange beneath the lake, and he had to find a chance to go down and take a look.
"What's so strange about that? The Demon Ghost Region is a special existence. Although Master is in charge of this place, there are still many mysterious places that we don't know the ins and outs of. For example, the Nine Netherworld Cave. Master is also unable to reach the bottom. Mm … "He Li paused and then solemnly said," We're about to reach Twilight Valley, and the valley is heavily guarded. Brother Yue, follow me closely and don't go around recklessly. Otherwise, even I won't be able to save you if you trigger the seal. "
