"My primordial spirit wasn't in my body at that time, so of course I looked no different from a dead person." Ye Fan sat up on the bed and said to Oda Kono, "Don't cry. Aren't I alive and well?"
Oda Kono sobbed a few times, then stopped crying.
"My clothes … were you the one who put them on me?" Ye Fan frowned and asked Oda Kono.
Oda Kono wiped her tears and nodded shyly.
She thought that Ye Fan was already dead, so naturally, she couldn't let his' corpse 'soak in the bathtub.
"Next time you encounter such a situation, remember not to touch me. Do you understand?" Ye Fan asked Oda Kono.
"En."
Oda Kono nodded and replied.
"What time is it now?" Ye Fan asked Oda Kono as he got off the bed.
"It's almost noon." Oda Kono replied.
"Go and help me prepare some dry food and water. I'm going to go on a long trip."
Ye Fan said to Oda Kono.
"Sir, you're leaving now?" Oda Kono asked Ye Fan.
Ye Fan nodded.
"When will you be back?" Oda Kono asked.
"That's hard to say." Ye Fan replied, "Maybe I'll be back in a day, or maybe I won't be back for several days."
Two hours later, Ye Fan and Akatsuki appeared in the sky.
Ye Fan held the Heavenly Luo Umbrella in his hand, while Akatsuki carried the Phoenix Wing Blade on her back, her red clothes fluttering in the wind.
Baihu Xiao Zhao quietly lay in Akatsuki's arms, looking at the white clouds flying past them with interest.
"Since there will be divine retribution, I don't think that Nangong Ao will tell you the location of the Jizhou Cauldron."
Under the Heavenly Luo Umbrella, the beautiful Akatsuki turned to look at Ye Fan and said with a frown.
"Gui Linglong had told me that this person has a strange temper and has a strange personality," Ye Fan said. "However, anyone with a strange personality will act differently from ordinary people. I think that Nangong Ao should be no exception to this. Out of the nine cauldrons, I have already found eight of them. I only need one more. This time, I don't care what price I have to pay. I must get the exact location of the Ji Zhou Cauldron from Nan Gong Ao. "
After hearing this, Akatsuki pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
The day Ye Fan found the Jizhou Cauldron was the day she left Ye Fan.
This was what she had promised the Little Taoist Boy in the Purple Sun Temple.
If Ye Fan successfully obtained the Jizhou Cauldron, her relationship with Ye Fan would come to an end.
Thinking of this, Akatsuki suddenly became sad.
Perhaps this was the last time she would spend with Ye Fan.
"What are you thinking about? Why aren't you talking? "Ye Fan asked when he saw Akatsuki staring blankly into the distance.
"Nothing. I'm just wondering if you can successfully obtain the Jizhou Cauldron this time."
Akatsuki lied and answered Ye Fan.
"Let's talk about it when we get there," Ye Fan said with a dignified expression.
As he spoke, he activated the Auspicious Clouds under his feet to the maximum and sped toward the Gobi Desert at lightning speed.
Two hours later, the two people's auspicious clouds arrived above the Gobi Desert.
Below them, yellow sand was rolling and desolation was everywhere.
Above the desert, there were a few yellow cities scattered like stars in the sky.
It was noon and midsummer. The entire Gobi Desert was hot as if it was being roasted by a fire!
"Why is this place hotter than Huo Long Town?"
Akatsuki wiped the sweat on her forehead and said.
"Let's find a place to rest first and then ask about the Ghost Doctor's Gut-Piercing Skill," Ye Fan turned to look at Akatsuki and said.
"Okay," Akatsuki responded.
Ye Fan activated the Auspicious Clouds under his feet and slowly descended.
After a while, the two of them landed in an inconspicuous city made of earth.
Inside the city, yellow sand was rolling and the heat was overwhelming.
However, although the city was small, it was extremely lively.
It was lunchtime and the taverns were full of people.
Men were topless, drinking from big bowls and eating meat in big mouthfuls. They were very bold and unrestrained.
"This place is so barren. Why is it so lively?"
Looking at the crowded restaurants on both sides of the street, Akatsuki asked Ye Fan in confusion.
"This place looks barren, but it's not," Ye Fan explained to Akatsuki, "This place is rich in strangely shaped Gobi Rocks and wild camels. In terms of wealth, this place is not inferior to the Central Plains. Moreover, this place is not all desert. Hundreds of miles away, there is a large oasis. The water and grass are fertile and cows and sheep are everywhere. It's not an exaggeration to describe this place as a paradise. "
"How do you know so much? Have you been here before? "After listening to Ye Fan's explanation, Akatsuki asked Ye Fan in confusion.
"I haven't been here before, but my father has been here before," Ye Fan said to Akatsuki, "My father bought the high-quality jade essence stone at home from here at a high price. What I just said was what I heard from my father back then. "
"No wonder." Akatsuki said in realization.
"Come, let's go to the shop to buy some food." Ye Fan said as he walked forward.
"Didn't we bring dry rations?" Akatsuki asked.
"Those dry rations are reserved for backup," Ye Fan replied, "In case the cauldron is in the Gobi Desert, we will need these rations."
"The problem is, how are we going to buy these things?" Akatsuki frowned and asked Ye Fan, "We can't just appear out of thin air, right?"
They could not leave the Tian Luo Umbrella at all, or else they would be discovered by Ghost Eyes Thousand Seeker.
But then again, if they did not leave the Tian Luo Umbrella, they would not be able to buy anything. They could not just stretch out a hand and buy food from the shop owner, right? If that was the case, wouldn't it be like seeing a ghost in broad daylight?
"Can't we buy things if we can't appear?" Ye Fan asked Akatsuki with a smile.
"How do we buy things?" Akatsuki asked, puzzled.
"Follow me," Ye Fan smiled, "I'll teach you how to buy things."
As he spoke, they arrived in front of a smoked meat shop.
The smoked meat shop in front of them was called 'Li Family Smoked Meat Shop'.
Before the two of them even entered the shop, they could already smell the aroma of the meat, causing them to salivate.
The white fox, Xiao Zhao, stuck out her pink tongue and licked her lips. She lifted her head and looked at Ye Fan.
"This is it." Looking at the drooling Baihu, Ye Fan said with a smile. "Come, let's go in."
Ye Fan said as he led Akatsuki in.
The smoked meat shop's business was booming, and it was packed to the brim.
At this moment, there were more than ten people at the counter settling the bill with the shopkeeper.
The topless shop assistant held a sharp knife in his hand as he cut the large piece of smoked meat on the chopping board into small pieces and wrapped them in oil paper for sale.
"Which piece of meat do you want to eat? Fat or thin? Beef or mutton? "
Under the Tian Luo Umbrella, Ye Fan asked Akatsuki with a smile.
"Any piece is fine," Akatsuki replied.
"Then give me a piece of each." Ye Fan smiled.
As he spoke, he slowly walked behind the shop assistant and gently pulled out a sharp knife from the knife rack at the side.
Whoosh!
The sharp knife instantly disappeared from the knife rack and disappeared into thin air.
At this time, business was booming in the shop, and there was a hubbub of voices. No one noticed that a knife was missing from the knife rack.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing Ye Fan remove the sharp knife, Akatsuki asked anxiously.
"Shh …"
Ye Fan smiled and raised his index finger, signaling Akatsuki to be silent.
He held the umbrella in one hand and the knife in the other as he quietly walked to the kitchen behind the shop assistant.
"What are you doing?" Akatsuki, who was following closely behind Ye Fan, asked in a low voice.
"Let's go to the kitchen and find some good smoked meat. Cut whichever piece you want, heh heh heh …"
Ye Fan said with a smirk.
"You … you're stealing …" Akatsuki lowered her voice and said anxiously.
"It's not like I don't want to pay, how can it be considered stealing, heh heh …" Ye Fan replied with a smile.
Akatsuki was completely speechless.
As the ruler of the Devil Realm, he actually ran to a smoked meat shop to steal meat. Who would believe it!
Thinking of this, Akatsuki shook her head helplessly.
If this guy were to act like a child, he would be no different from a child.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the kitchen.
There was no one in the kitchen.
On the wall of the stove, fans of smoked meat were neatly hung there, exuding a rich meaty aroma.
"Haha, great, there's no one here …"
Ye Fan's eyes lit up, and he laughed in a low voice.
While laughing, he took the iron hook hanging on the wall and hooked out two large pieces of high quality smoked meat, a piece of smoked beef and a piece of smoked mutton.
Swish … swish …
Ye Fan raised the knife and cut the two large pieces of smoked meat into six pieces. Then, he took oil paper from the fireplace and quickly wrapped the smoked meat.
"You're so skilled and experienced, you must have stolen a lot of things before, right? Devil King. "
Looking at Ye Fan's smile of success, Akatsuki stroked Baihu in her arms and teased Ye Fan with a smile.
"What's wrong with the Devil King, the Devil King also has to eat." Ye Fan put the wrapped six large pieces of smoked meat into a large paper bag and said without raising his head, "If I could show up, I wouldn't have to waste so much effort."
Pfft …
Akatsuki laughed.
"The meat is packed, let's go." As Ye Fan spoke, he took out a golden leaf from his arms and threw it at a piece of smoked meat in the fireplace!
Swish!
After a flash of golden light, a golden leaf appeared on the smoked meat.
Under the protection of the Tian Luo Umbrella, Ye Fan happily hugged the 'stolen' smoked meat and swaggered out of the Li Family Smoked Meat Shop.
Before leaving, he even took a small jar of Green Bamboo Leaf from the wine rack when no one was looking …
"You only bought a piece of smoked meat, but you made it look like you were stealing. If this matter were to spread out, your reputation as the monarch of the Devil Realm would spread far and wide. "
On the street, Akatsuki ate the smoked meat and did not forget to make sarcastic remarks about Ye Fan.
"You really don't pay attention," Ye Fan said to Akatsuki as he ate and drank. "It's said that you have a soft mouth after receiving a gift. It's fine if you don't thank me, but you're eating my smoked meat while making sarcastic remarks about me. You're really ungrateful."
"Yes, yes, yes. Thank you, Devil King, for the stolen, oh no, bought smoked meat," Akatsuki said to Ye Fan with a smile. "I'll never forget your kindness."
"That's more like it." Ye Fan smiled and said, "You don't say. The wine and meat that we stole, oh no, we bought, is indeed fragrant and satisfying."
"Devil King, where are we going next?" Akatsuki asked Ye Fan with a smile. "Which shop are we going to steal from?"
