Ever since the last provocation, the Yi Le Family had basically settled down here. Gu Zheng, on the other hand, had asked for a small, remote courtyard and plunged into it.
He stayed there for half a year. Because he had suffered a lot of minor injuries while studying the seal, it took him half a year to recover. If it wasn't for the little girl causing trouble every day, he would have studied the Li Ring.
However, just as he recovered and stretched, Xiang Xiang, who had been paying attention to this place, pushed the door open and came in.
"Big brother, your injuries are healed. Hurry up and make me something to eat. I'm so hungry." Xiang Xiang's face was bitter as she gently touched her small belly with one hand.
In this regard, Gu Zheng was really helpless. Half a year ago, he used the excuse of his injuries to push her away. He thought that as long as he waited for a while, she would leave on her own or her family would take her away.
What he didn't expect was that she was actually guarding his door. She had been guarding him all this time. She was really afraid that he would accidentally run away. Gu Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Fortunately, Gu Zheng had told Yi Le in advance that no one was allowed to come in. He also sent Little Crab to guard the door. This Xiang Xiang was really patient. She just squatted there and didn't eat a meal.
Although for Xiang Xiang, not eating for a few hundred years was enough. However, her attitude made it seem like he was abusing her.
"Okay, okay. How about this. What do you want to eat? I'll make some for you. I still have things to do." Although Gu Zheng wanted to ask her about the water attribute material, he didn't have a magic weapon now. If he met an enemy, he would be at a disadvantage. If an enemy came to rob him, he might have to run away.
"I want to eat meat porridge. I also want to have meat soup. I also want to eat hot dishes." Xiang Xiang's eyes lit up. She took out her little finger and blabbered.
"Stop, stop. I know you want to eat a lot, but we don't have anything now. Let's go out and find some ingredients." Seeing that Xiang Xiang wanted to continue, Gu Zheng quickly stopped her.
It seemed that if he didn't interrupt her, she would order a table of dishes and treat him as her family's chef.
"Oh." Xiang Xiang put down her finger, feeling wronged. She hadn't eaten for half a year. Couldn't she ask for more?
Gu Zheng looked at the aggrieved little face and hardened his heart to leave. It wasn't that he was petty, but he really couldn't do so much.
As a descendant of Gokusen, he had to treat every bit of food with 200% of his energy, especially when it was a picky little girl.
I can't ruin my own brand, even though no one knows about it.
"Wait for me." Xiangxiang hurriedly shouted, and eagerly followed, for fear that Gu Zheng would run away.
The courtyard that Yi Le was in was very large. However, Gu Zheng was able to find Yi Le in the living room with just a sweep of his Spiritual Force.
When Gu Zheng found Yi Le, she was sitting there with a frown on her face. She was the only one in the huge living room.
Seeing Gu Zheng and the others come out, she stood up with a forced smile. At first glance, everything seemed normal, but the sadness in her eyes couldn't be hidden. Gu Zheng saw it at a glance.
"What's the matter?" Yi Le's figure revealed a trace of fatigue.
"I want to borrow your kitchen and borrow something." Gu Zheng said truthfully.
"No problem. Young Master Gu, take whatever you like." Yi Le didn't expect Gu Zheng to make such a request. Could it be that he personally cooked for this little girl?
Yi Le also heard from the guard that day that this little girl seemed to have followed them for food. However, could it be that she hadn't eaten for half a year?
Yi Le was puzzled and personally led them to the kitchen. Although there were many worries in her heart, she still wanted to know how immortals cooked and whether they were the same as ordinary people.
"Miss Yi." When Yi Le and the others arrived at the kitchen, there were many people busy inside. When they saw them, they all greeted them. They were also very curious about why she led them here.
Their kitchen was astonishingly big. After all, there were so many people eating together. There were dozens of servants.
Gu Zheng casually glanced around and saw the stored ingredients. An idea came to his mind.
"Can I trouble you to lend me your dagger?" Gu Zheng said to Yi Le. Although these ingredients were ordinary, they were already very good in the world of Heaven and Earth's spiritual energy. Naturally, they couldn't be processed with ordinary kitchen utensils.
"Ah, okay." Yi Le didn't expect that the other party would want to borrow her weapon. She was stunned for a moment, but she didn't hesitate to take it out of her sleeve and hand it over.
Gu Zheng looked at the dagger that could cut iron like mud. Gu Zheng still felt a little regretful. There were still some impurities in it, but at this stage, it was enough for what she wanted to do.
Gu Zheng walked around for a bit and finished preparing all the things.
The others stared at him, wondering what this gentle man was going to do. Looking at his white fingers, it was obvious that his ten fingers didn't do any household chores. Could it be that he was looking for some fun? But Miss Yi would go crazy with him. The situation at home wasn't very good now.
In fact, Gu Zheng planned to make a simple bowl of fish porridge, a bucket of beef soup, and a side dish.
Gu Zheng took out the sharp dagger. His whole body tensed up. It was obvious that he had begun to enter a certain state.
They could only see the silver light flashing all over the sky. They couldn't see Gu Zheng's movements at all. Xiang Xiang, on the other hand, stared with a pair of big eyes, watching with relish. She was reluctant to look away at all.
With Gu Zheng's orderly progress, the air was soon filled with a tempting aroma. It lasted for a long time, making people unconsciously drool. They didn't expect him to have such good cooking skills. Just by smelling the aroma, he had already defeated all of them.
At this time, an afternoon had passed unknowingly. The other chefs also began to get busy, but everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at Gu Zheng's area.
It continued until evening. There were only four people left in the kitchen. One of them was the head chef here. He was in charge of everyone in the kitchen. He just wanted to see what was in the pot that was so attractive.
One had to know that he was also a little famous. Of course, he was also very curious about the other party's techniques and wanted to ask for advice.
When Gu Zheng turned off the two fires, he took out a bowl of porridge and a side dish. Although they looked very good, what puzzled Yi Le and Xiang Xiang was that the ancient aroma in the air was much dimmer. It was as if he was taking out two things.
On the contrary, Xiang Xiang's face revealed a look of surprise. She wasn't afraid of the heat. She directly picked up the bowl of fish porridge, narrowed her eyes, pursed her red lips, and gently took a small sip.
Xiang Xiang felt the information from the taste buds on the tip of her tongue. She closed her eyes, and an intoxicated expression appeared on her face. She felt that she had guessed correctly, and the little abacus in her heart flew quickly.
She finished the fish porridge in one breath and then directly swept the side dish into her stomach. Only then did she nod her head in satisfaction.
Gu Zheng returned the dagger to Yi Le and then directly walked out with Xiang Xiang.
"Young Master Gu, there's still a pot of something." Yi Le shouted from behind.
"Consider it as a reward for lending you the dagger." Gu Zheng's voice came from afar.
Yi Le was stunned when she heard that. She curiously came in front of the big pot and opened it to take a look. A white meat soup filled the pot, and beside it were some notes with materials.
Yi Le took a small sip and immediately put the notes away. She revealed a relieved smile on her face and immediately asked someone to watch the pot. She was secretly grateful to the other party. To her, he had given them another way to survive.
In the middle of the huge tower, in a magnificent hall, a dignified middle-aged man sat on the top. Several people below him were reporting to him.
"Sir, Princess Xiang Xiang still hasn't been found. It seems that she has hidden herself." One of the people below said.
"Then continue to send more people to look for her. A bunch of good-for-nothings. She must still be in the city. Once she leaves the city, I will sense it."
"Yes." The people below cupped their fists and then left.
A year passed by quickly. During this year, Gu Zheng had been hiding in the house and didn't come out. Other than Yi Le who came once in a while, she was busy outside.
On this day, Xiang Xiang and Little Crab were whispering outside.
"Little princess, it's been a year. Are you still waiting here? I heard that the outside is looking for you like crazy. "Little Crab waved his pincers and said.
"There's no need to ask. He has already promised to help me make Hundred Color Flame. I must eat it." Xiang Xiang said with a puffed up face. She was a little impatient from waiting, but there was nothing she could do if he didn't come out.
"Princess Xiang Xiang, I don't want to stay here. Tell him to take me with you." Little Crab's eyes darted around as he didn't think that he would encounter the princess here.
"You have to ask him. I don't want to help you. I'm still waiting for my Hundred Color Flame." Princess Xiang Xiang shook her head. Now, she finally had hope. She had waited for thousands of years. She must fulfill the wish in her heart.
Gu Zheng, who was inside, heard everything clearly. Of course, he knew about his agreement with Xiang Xiang. As long as he accompanied her to find a few materials and help her make a dish, she would give him the water-attributed material.
It was fine if he didn't help her. She would tell him the location of the ingredient and let him get it himself.
Of course, Gu Zheng chose to take it himself. He didn't expect that she would point her little finger at the tower and tell him that it was in a room below.
She also told Gu Zheng that she was the youngest princess of Sea City. Although Gu Zheng roughly guessed that the other party's identity was extraordinary, he still didn't expect that this city was secretly created by the person in charge of the East China Sea.
Gu Zheng had no choice but to accompany her out. There were so many experts below the pagoda that he didn't even dare to use his divine sense to probe the area. He was deeply afraid that if he was careless, he would be discovered harboring evil intentions and be killed.
Gu Zheng told himself that he would accompany a child to play. Anyway, he didn't have anything important to do.
With a thought from Gu Zheng, the fiery red ring returned to his wrist with a whoosh, turning into a red line that remained on his wrist.
After a year of sacrificial refining, Gu Zheng had almost mastered the Li Ring. Now, it was time to leave.
Gu Zheng pushed open the door that hadn't been opened for a year and walked out.
Xiang Xiang ran over in surprise and pulled the corner of Gu Zheng's clothes and said, "You said that it would only take a short time, but it ended up taking a year. You are too bad."
Gu Zheng of course understood Xiang Xiang's tricks, but he didn't point it out. He just smiled and said, "It is a bit long, but this way I can find something for you. Let's go now."
Gu Zheng's Divine Sense swept through the entire mansion. He found that everyone had a smile on their face. It was much better than a year ago. He squatted down and picked up Xiang Xiang. In a flash, he disappeared from this place.
Only the small crab with a resentful face was left. It kept waving the small crab. It only knew that it had received some kind of instruction. When the time came, the restriction on its body would automatically disappear.
Gu Zheng and it had already agreed that it would stay here for 50 years to guard the mansion. It was also Gu Zheng's last token of appreciation. After all, it had been eating and drinking for free for more than a year. Although the other party had the intention of using it, it had also prevented it from encountering any greater danger.
At the same time, Gu Zheng had also erased its memories of the past, ensuring that it would forget about it. Moreover, he had also made it swear that if it leaked the secret, it would die an unnatural death. With these three guarantees, it was able to survive.
Otherwise, Gu Zheng would have definitely killed it to silence it. He wouldn't put his life in the hands of others.
When the two of them appeared again, they were already outside on the street. Gu Zheng was walking in front, holding Xiang Xiang's small hand. Xiang Xiang's face had a smile on it. They looked like a father and daughter pair, so warm and harmonious.
Soon, the two of them walked out of the city. After a little distance, they directly sped up and headed towards the East Sea.
More than ten days away from Sea City, two figures, one big and one small, rushed in a certain direction, one in front and one behind.
At this time, the sky was blue with white clouds. The wave-like white clouds densely covered the sky, blocking the scorching sun. A slight sea breeze blew past their ears from time to time, and they could vaguely hear the sound of the waves.
However, Xiang Xiang didn't have the leisure to enjoy this. Now, she was only panting as she followed the footsteps in front of her. Since the two of them left Sea City, they had been moving forward at a very fast speed. They had been walking for more than ten days.
Because it was she who said that she wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. As long as she reached the seaside, she would have a way to completely cover her tracks. Because once she left the city, she would definitely be sensed by that person.
It wasn't that he didn't treat her well. He had satisfied all her basic requirements.
It was just that he was too strict with her. He didn't allow her to do this, and she couldn't do that. He kept her in the palace alive, which made her very depressed. She couldn't beat him in a fight.
She hadn't rushed so hard for a long time. Although she wasn't tired physically, she was a little tired mentally. She had been worried that someone would chase after them, and her nerves were tense.
Now that they had stepped on the beach, they could vaguely see the edge of the East Sea. It wouldn't be long before they reached the sea surface.
This made Xiang Xiang's tense little face relax a little. She knew how powerful that person was. Most importantly, the surrounding sea area with a radius of millions was under his control. Although this place was a little remote, it was still a place under the East Sea. How could he be a nobody?
There were dozens of generals under him, but most of them were patrolling the sea area. They would come ashore to report every once in a while.
Except for once every 100,000 years, that person would go to the East Sea to report. The rest of the time, he would be in Sea City. Of course, Sea City had only been established for tens of thousands of years. Before that, it was in the palace at the bottom of the sea.
At this time, Gu Zheng, who was in front of them, suddenly stopped. Xiang Xiang, who was caught off guard, directly bumped into him, and then fell on the beach.
"Why did you suddenly stop?" Xiang Xiang rubbed her nose and said in a muffled voice. This time, he was confused.
"It doesn't look good in front." Gu Zheng looked in front of him. With a glance, he could see that there were already huge waves on the surface of the sea that were roaring towards him.
Xiangxiang Beila stood up and took a look. She smiled and said, "You're making a fuss out of nothing. However, you might not know that there are countless whirlpools beneath the surface of the sea within a radius of several hundred thousand miles. Countless tearing forces are produced at every moment, producing such a phenomenon on the sea surface."
Xiang Xiang patted the soil on her body, put her small hands on her eyes, and looked at the familiar tide. She continued, "Although it looks like someone deliberately made it, it is actually natural. The power is not very strong. Look at the dozens of kilometers of the sea. These tides have caused this. Don't worry."
After saying that, Xiang Xiang deliberately patted Gu Zheng's waist, then continued to run forward.
However, after just a few steps, she found that Gu Zheng was still standing in the same place, squinting at the huge wave. His eyes flashed with a gaze that scared her.
Xiang Xiang stopped helplessly, returned to Gu Zheng's side, and pointed over there.
"Brother Gu, why are you so timid? I've already told you that this huge wave is only formed from below." Xiangxiang suddenly froze, her eyes suddenly glazed over, and her small mouth opened slightly.
This was because dozens of water dragons flew out of the huge wave, and all of them rushed over here. It was completely different from what she said.
This was clearly someone behind the scenes. How could her brain suddenly encounter such a thing, and suddenly become confused and stunned?
Gu Zheng was not one to be stunned. Earlier, he had noticed that something was amiss. Although he had listened to Xiangxiang Beila's explanation, a trace of vigilance still lingered in his heart. He had never thought that there would be such a mystery.
Glancing at Xiang Xiang, who was still in a daze, Gu Zheng took a step forward and directly rushed a distance.
He directly jumped up into the sky and punched the void in front of him.
"Bang! Bang!" Every water dragon collapsed from the sky, turning into a pool of water and flowing down.
Those seemingly awe-inspiring water dragons didn't even get close to Gu Zheng's side. They were all defeated by Gu Zheng midway.
"Ah!" Xiangxiang Beila's scream came from behind. Gu Zheng quickly turned around, afraid that something had happened to Xiangxiang Beila.
However, he found Xiang Xiang there covering her eyes and screaming. It seemed that she only reacted now. He really did not know where her cultivation came from. She had no experience at all. It felt as if she had not experienced any battle.
"It's okay, it's okay." Gu Zheng returned to Xiang Xiang's side and comforted her.
"They're coming. Be careful." Xiang Xiang shouted, which made Gu Zheng feel frightened.
