'What's going on? ' Miao Yi hugged the token for a long time.'You just said that Supreme Yao Lord Lie Huan is waiting for me to participate in the next Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade, and now you're throwing a token at me? Just whose side are you on? 'Is this token real or fake? I don't think we're friends. Are you messing with me? '
Just as he was about to ask, the two of them suddenly disappeared into the hallway. They practically vanished into thin air.
Miao Yi swallowed his words. 'This token?' He looked at it again and again. It was just a piece of bone. He knocked on it twice with his finger and found that it was quite sturdy. He could faintly sense an ancient aura coming from it, but he didn't know what kind of animal this bone belonged to.
Invoking his transcendence energy to examine it, he discovered that there was actually a small formation laid on it. He immediately activated it, and the token silently released an image of Fu Qing sitting cross-legged in meditation.
"Ugh …" Miao Yi hurriedly retracted the image he released and quickly looked around, afraid that someone would see it.
'This token is probably real, but what does this old monster mean by this? I don't dare to use your token carelessly! Given your relationship with the Six Sages, if others find out that I have your token, won't it affect my future in the administration? '
Miao Yi put away the token. Miao Yi's head was filled with confusion. He put on the mask on his face and walked back to his room.
As soon as he returned to his room and fixed his mask, he immediately became excited again. He temporarily forgot about everything else and threw the Orb of Will into his mouth, then sat down cross-legged. Continuing to cultivate and improve his strength was the right thing to do...
The banquet in the main hall lasted for a long time before it finally ended. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They were finally dismissed.
As soon as Yue Yao returned to her room, someone knocked on her door. Tang Jun's follower entered and handed her a storage ring. "Someone asked me to give this to Lord Sixth."
"What is it?" Yue Yao asked as she took the storage ring. When she saw what was inside, her heart skipped a beat. She asked, "Who gave it to me?"
The follower chuckled. "Lord Sixth, that shouldn't be hard to guess, right? Niu Er asked me to give it to you. I told Lord Sixth that he might not accept it. He said that if Lord Sixth doesn't accept it, I should return it to him so that he can give it to someone else. "
"Who wants it?!" Yue Yao's expression immediately changed. She tossed the storage ring back and said, "Give it to whoever you want."
"Got it." The attendant smiled and turned to leave. He already knew that Godfather Liu wasn't someone who would casually accept things from men.
Just as he reached the door, Yue Yao called out again, "Wait! Give it to me!"
The attendant turned around with a look of surprise on his face, as though he was asking, "You want to accept his gift?"
Yue Yao took the initiative to explain, "I'll return it to him personally! Don't think too much, I have my own plans. "
The attendant nodded. He gave her the storage ring before taking his leave.
After he left, Yue Yao took out the Ice Jade Box from her storage ring and opened it to take a look. 83 Ice Face Pills were neatly stacked inside. They were all given to her.
Yue Yao's eyes sparkled. She bit her lip and reached out to caress the Ice Faces. She couldn't bear to part with them, but it wasn't purely because she liked the Ice Faces. Instead, it was a sweet feeling.
As far as she was concerned, Niu Er's reason for giving her something was obvious. It was to express his love for her.
For some reason, she was almost certain that this Niu Er was that Yan Beihong. If it really was him …
She suddenly felt her heartbeat quicken. At that moment, she could clearly feel that she had developed a different kind of affection for Yan Beihong. It was the kind of affection a woman would have for a man. She couldn't lie to herself. She was sure of it.
She herself did not know the reason why she did not have much contact with Yan Beihong. However, Yan Beihong seemed to have something about him that naturally attracted her to him. She couldn't explain it, but every move he made made her feel that she was right.
She used to dream of finding a man like her big brother, but after she met Yan Beihong, she couldn't help it. But after meeting Yan Beihong, she realized that the fantasies she had for her big brother and the feelings she had when she met the man she liked were different. One was familial love, while the other was an involuntary feeling. The latter was the true love between a man and a woman. There was no doubt about it!
"You want me to accept your gift without giving you a reason? Who do you think I am?" Yue Yao pouted. She put the gift back into her storage ring. Clutching the ring tightly in her palm, she lightly patted her chest to calm herself down. Then, she strode out of the room …
"Niu Er!" The carpenter pushed open the door and entered, followed by the Lady Boss and the stonemason.
Miao Yi opened his eyes as he sat cross-legged in meditation. Judging by the amount of Orbs of Will he had used, half a day had already passed. He pinched the Orb of Will in his mouth and placed it in his hand. Then, he stood up and asked weakly, "Did the banquet just end?"
The three of them suddenly looked at him and sneered. The Lady Boss asked, "What do you think?"
"Sigh! I really didn't mean what you think I meant. I was afraid that the game would end in my hands. Who knew things would turn out this way? " Miao Yi sighed. Then, he asked curiously, "It can't be that bad, right? That Ice Face Orb lasted that long before it was taken away?"
The stonemason calmly explained, "The point is that you left a bone for everyone to play with. No one was interested in fighting for it anymore. It was just that no one wanted to embarrass the South Pole Patriarch on his big day. So they all took turns to leave."
Miao Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "That's not a valid reason! With so many people taking turns, there was still a chance that they would meet even if they closed their eyes! Moreover, didn't the South Pole Patriarch know that he could have done something to the ice spirit so that someone could find it and end it early? "
The carpenter chuckled. "That's easy for you to say. After teasing everyone for so long, you suddenly revealed a flaw and ended it hastily. It's not fair to the others. How can the South Pole Patriarch endure that? The South Pole Patriarch is also in a dilemma because of you! "
"Alright! Stop teasing him. " The Lady Boss raised her hand to stop the two of them. She explained, "The Elder Ancestor saw that everyone had lost interest in the last one, so he added ten more 'Ice Face' as a wager. That's why the banquet has ended. However, it's not easy to grow a Ice Face Orb. Niu Er, you've really made the South Pole Patriarch pay a heavy price this time. "
Miao Yi heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that the South Pole Patriarch was really that stupid.
Suddenly, a familiar fragrance assaulted his nostrils. He saw the Lady Boss circling around him with an indescribable look in her eyes. Miao Yi couldn't help asking, "Lady Boss, what do you want?"
The Lady Boss nonchalantly said, "I've never seen so many Ice Faces before. Why don't you take them out for us to see?"
The carpenter and stonemason exchanged a smile, then nodded in agreement. "That's right! Take them out and let us see. "
"This …" Miao Yi laughed dryly. He had already given them to his Little Brother. Where was he going to take them out?
"What? Are you afraid that we'll steal them from you? "The Lady Boss sneered.
"That's not what I meant. It's just that …"
The Lady Boss didn't want to waste any more time with him. "Niu Er, I haven't mistreated you all these years, have I? That thing isn't very useful to you men. You're still young, so there's no point in keeping it. I'm not getting any younger either. It just so happens that I can use it. "
Miao Yi slapped his forehead. "How could I forget to keep some! Lady Boss, I've already given them away. "
The key was that the other party had to believe his words. The Lady Boss raised an eyebrow, her expression turning cold. She turned around and left, as if to say, "Do you want me to beg you?"
"Lady Boss, I really did give them away!" Miao Yi was a little anxious.
The carpenter and stonemason both reached out and placed their palms on his chest, saying in unison, "Niu Er, you're in big trouble now!"
The two of them pushed him back, sending him crashing into the ice wall.
Before they left, the carpenter chuckled. "Niu Er, don't hurt your feelings over something so trivial. You don't need us to teach you how to please the Lady Boss, do you?"
He was hinting for Miao Yi to obediently hand over the thing. Miao Yi naturally understood that, but the problem was that he didn't have it!
As soon as the carpenter and stonemason left, they bumped into the beautiful Yue Yao walking towards them. They couldn't help but be taken aback.
Yue Yao nodded and smiled. "May I ask which room Niu Er is staying in?"
Both of them pointed at the door behind them, then stepped aside in unison.
Yue Yao walked to the door and was about to knock. She glanced at the two of them, wondering if they were trying to eavesdrop.
The carpenter and stonemason quickly left and went straight to the Lady Boss's room.
Before Yue Yao could knock on the door, the thick ice door slid open on its own, revealing a dejected Miao Yi staring at her.
'Little Sister, oh Little Sister. Big Brother is in deep trouble because of you! ' Miao Yi asked in annoyance, "What are you doing here?"
Yue Yao retorted, "Are you going to make me stand at the door and talk?"
Miao Yi let her in. As soon as he closed the door, he turned around and almost bumped into Yue Yao's voluptuous breasts. In that split second, he felt a chill on his face. Yue Yao had already ripped off his mask.
"It really is you!" Yue Yao's face instantly lit up.
"Little girl, stop fooling around!" Miao Yi frantically snatched the mask from her hands.
Yue Yao hid the mask behind her back with one hand, then shoved a storage ring in front of Miao Yi. Twirling the storage ring between her fingers, she asked, "Why did you give me the 'Ice Face' that you painstakingly obtained?"
Miao Yi was confused. "Don't you like it? Since you like it, I gave it to you. Is that not enough to please you? "
"That's not the reason. I want to know the real reason. I'm not the kind of woman who would accept a gift from a random man." As she said this, a hint of shyness flashed across Yue Yao's eyes. She felt that her words were already very obvious. All she wanted was for him to give her an explanation that would put her at ease. She felt that she was already very brave.
Unexpectedly, Miao Yi rubbed his chin and brazenly looked her up and down. He asked suspiciously, "I say, what are you thinking about, little girl? Don't tell me you're thinking of love, you silly girl? What kind of nonsense are you thinking about? "
How old am I already? And you're still calling me a little girl? Yue Yao was stunned. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'll say it again. Without a suitable reason, I will not accept a gift from a man."
