Chapter 225 Mother Taught Me to Compete for Favor
The little lady can not only write poems and make fuss, but also do female red embroidery. Chen Ji still has a sachet embroidered by her.
The sewing techniques and fabric quality in ancient times are very different from those in modern times, so she can recognize that this is not from Zhao.
Chen Ji didn't draw conclusions for the time being. He took a few pictures of the black cloth and put them away. Later, he sent them to Zhou Wan, Astana, Empress and others, and asked them to find someone to check them together.
First confirm which world this guy comes from.
"Let's go, let's see your master!"
Chen Ji put his arms around her waist, Xia Shumin hummed, and hugged him obediently. Now she is very used to being hugged by the son, and only feels shy during trysts.
Just downstairs, the two of them bumped into a beam of light, Xia Shumin became nervous again, but before he could speak, the surprised voice of Wang Shaoxia came from a distance:
"Brother Chen! Ah, and Ms. Xia, why are you here?"
The two sides meet.
Chen Ji first took a photo of the four people on the opposite side with light and heat to confirm that it was not disguised by other things.
"Uh, Brother Chen?"
"Mr. Chen, what's wrong?"
Wang Shao saw the problem, his face changed from surprise to solemn, and he took a flashlight to look at the building, his eyes were very vigilant, if it weren't for Mr. Chen, they would not have dared to get so close.
"How long have you been here?"
Chen Ji asked them.
"Almost a month has passed."
"Did you find anything?"
"There are no near the building... It's just that there are many more monsters in the city from the centaur Kerim. Is it abnormal?"
Chen Ji thought for a while, and said to them: "Shu Min and I just saw someone nearby."
Wang Shaodang and the four of them were stunned.
Every time they go out, there are at least three of them, with two flashlights, one of which is used as a backup.
It stands to reason that it is impossible for someone to simply come out, and go so far.
"Brother Chen, who is it?"
"The other party ran away when they met us, and disappeared in the restaurant upstairs...Let's go back and talk about it!"
Chen Ji took Xia Shumin, and they returned to the community where Zhou Wan's villa was located.
Old man Wenxian, Li Yingqing, Qianyuan Yaozu, Ke Limu and others were all there. With more and more people, one villa was no longer enough to live in, so they repaired a villa next to it and lived in it.
"Master, love mother-in-law!"
Xia Shumin greeted the two obediently.
"Hero of another world, did you bring good news this time?"
Holding a spear, wearing an armor and a cape, the centaur rushed back at a rapid pace. The tip of the spear was stained with dark green blood, which looked extremely scary.
At least Xia Shumin was startled and exclaimed, his eyes widened, and he looked at him in disbelief: "Master, son, this monster... No, this is Mr. Centaur from the world of saints?"
The Saintess World is her name for Astana's world. She hasn't met him yet, but she just learned some news from Chen Ji.
Chen Ji laughed dumbfounded, and comforted her not to be afraid.
Fortunately, Kerim couldn't understand what she said, otherwise he would have corrected her: This human noble lady, I am a lady.
Chen Ji corrected Xia Shumin's name, which made her a little embarrassed, and apologized with his eyes to the three-meter-tall centaur.
"Hero of another world, Mr. Chen Ji, your return this time..."
Kelim didn't care about these things. She asked Chen Ji again about the news about Shenen Continent.
The rest of the rivers and lakes are used to her behavior.
This unusually tall and powerful centaur could hardly stay still for a moment. He kept running around the city, fighting with spears in his hands, and vented his urgency and grief into anger.
She also discovered the treant monsters entrenched in the city.
Kelim's powerful fighting power made the people of the Jianghu speechless. If Chen Ji hadn't said that she was a female centaur, they wouldn't have believed it even if she was killed.
"Good news!"
Chen Ji smiled slightly at the centaur and said, "I met Enos."
Hearing this name suddenly, the restless Kerim was stunned, and kept repeating Enos, Enos, his tall and healthy body trembling, sobbing and crying:
"It's my sister, Enos, it's her..."
Kelim held the spear in one hand and kept wiping his tears with the other, incoherent with excitement.
Everyone was touched by her tears, and a centaur who was usually so brave would also shed tears at this moment.
"Master..."
Xia Shumin looked at Chen Ji and was proud of him. The young master saved people from fire and water, he is a well-deserved hero, a true fairy—everyone in the world said so.
"I went to the northern snow mountain with some people, saw Pazola behind the Sky Temple, and happened to meet Ni's sister."
"She saw that you hadn't gone back for a long time, so she came out alone..."
"How did she..."
Kelim was in a hurry. It was very dangerous to leave the cave. There were all heirs of evil gods outside. If he ran slower, he would be overtaken.
"Fortunately, we met her and successfully rescued her and your people."
Chen Ji interrupted her, finished speaking, and focused on describing the situation in the cave and some of the centaur clansmen, making Kerim believe that he had indeed gone to Pazola.
Ke Limu took a deep look at him, knelt down in front of Chen Ji, and put the spear in his hand on the ground: "The brave, fearless, honest and trustworthy hero of another world, you saved our family. Become a weapon in your hands, a war horse under your seat, if you can confirm that my sister has been rescued by you in the future, Kerim is willing to dedicate his loyalty to you!"
Xia Shumin couldn't understand her words, but she could hear a poetry-like singing, which she had never been exposed to before.
"Get up."
Chen Ji is used to the way people in Shenen Continent speak like this, and said to her: "When I have a way to take you back, I will let you see your sister."
Kelim thanked you again, stood up, and said cautiously: "Should I call you master, or Lord Lord?"
"...just call me Chen Ji!"
"Yes, my lord!"
"?"
Forget it, Chen Ji didn’t correct it anymore, and asked her again: “Kelim, where exactly did you encounter the space rift and came here?”
Last time, Kelim didn't trust everything here, and he refused to share too much news.
However, Pazola's situation couldn't be worse, so she asked Chen Ji for help.
"My lord!"
Ke Lim lowered his head and replied respectfully: "I was going to the Elven Forest and wanted to seek help from the Elf Kingdom. When I was blocked by the evil treant army, I was forced to crash into a cloud of black mist. After that, I I lost consciousness until you rescued me!"
"Forest of elves?"
"Well, I don't remember the exact location. It's probably in the south of the forest. There are nearby mountains and valleys. I'm not familiar with the Elven Forest. I only know that there is a tree called Naxicui River that leads to the Tree of Life in the Elven Kingdom. Running along a great dry river."
"Is the forest south of the elves? I see."
Chen Ji nodded.
She didn’t know it was okay. There were elves in Xinghui Holy City, and the two little princesses of the elf kingdom came from the forest of elves. He could put his arms around the petite bodies of the twin princesses and listen to them slowly.
Chen Ji thought of the magic carriage again.
"My lord!"
Kelim couldn't help asking: "Are you going to the Forest of Elves?"
"right!"
"Forgive Kerim for not doubting your strength, but today's elf forest is too terrifying."
Kerim said in fear: "The originally endless sea of trees was infected by evil and turned into evil treants like an ocean. They wandered aimlessly. Elves, humans, and orcs were all unable to resist and could only flee. If you go, please be sure to bring a centaur and let him lead you through the forest of elves! In the name of the centaur patriarch, I will let him obey your orders!"
She still doesn't know anything about Shenen Continent. The current Chen Ji doesn't need her to give orders, and the centaur will obey his oracle.
"I'm not going through the forest of elves."
"Then you want to...?"
"Instead purify it!"
"What?"
Kelim was shocked, purifying the entire forest? The endless evil treant...
Chen Ji didn't explain too much.
Kelim is undoubtedly a brave and fearless centaur warrior. Even after seeing the terrifying elf forest, she rushed into the forest with a glimmer of hope, hoping to find a ray of hope to save her people.
But unfortunately, the entire elf kingdom has been relocated to the Holy City of Starlight. From the queen to the princess, and then to the elf king Imory, all have left the elf forest.
Even if she rushed to the World Tree, it would be useless.
"Everyone."
After exchanging information with them, a group of people blushed.
They lived here, but they didn't find anything for a month. As soon as Mr. Chen came, he bumped into a strange person.
"It doesn't make sense!"
Someone wondered, "We send people to the building every morning, noon and night to take a look, why can't we meet them?"
"I think, is it because we always turn on the flashlight every time we go out, so we were noticed by the other party? We slipped away early!" Liu Sangu said.
"Oops, yes, for sure!"
"The lighting is bad!"
“Next time we go out, turn off the lights too.”
"Next time? Next time that sneaky guy is already prepared, and he will definitely turn off the lights."
Everyone was talking about it.
Finally, Chen Ji only asked two useful information.
One is that they went to the underground doomsday base, searched around, found the things left by him and Zhou Wan last time, and also found the withered world tree, confirming that it is the only withered tree in the whole world. , and no mutated trees.
Secondly, Kerim found some evil treants gathered near the port of the city. They looked the same as the Elven Forest, but their strength was much weaker, and they were not so terrifying.
Kelim went to fight them many times, but every few days, they would appear in large numbers again.
"Evil Treants?"
Chen Ji thought for a while, then raised his hand and gave Kerim a ball of light to purify the evil aura fused into her body.
Kelim was completely stunned. Such a pure and holy power... the lord is a powerful descendant of God?
"I want to ask some seniors."
Chen Ji looked at Old Man Wenxian and the others.
"Nephew, just ask!"
"It's overseas Penglai, Abbot and other legendary fairy islands. Have you ever been there?"
Chen Ji added the islands he and the little lady encountered near the North Pole, as well as those strange beasts similar to those recorded in Shan Hai Jing.
A group of rivers and lakes are fried.
However, they couldn't go back, so they could only stare blankly.
"Abbot Penglai?"
Ask the elder disciple Li Yingqing, who used to live in Xia Mansion, was called mother-in-law by Xia Shumin, and was slapped by Chen Ji, who had just become a fairy, and said in a slightly humble tone:
"I have been to those islands several times in order to seek the way to become a fairy, and there is nothing surprising. The largest Penglai Island is about half the size of Yongkang County. There are more than 100,000 households on the island, and most of them live by the sea."
She briefly told Chen Ji about the so-called fairy island, and said that it was named by the ancients indiscriminately, or it was just a legend, and there are no immortals on the island.
Xia Shumin blinked and looked at Chen Ji.
Maybe the immortals are hiding?
For example, hiding on Earth.
"I see."
Chen Ji nodded, he was just a little curious about Penglai Island.
However, this mother-in-law, who seemed very irritable at the beginning, was gentle when she was next to her master, and she seemed very satisfied with living in this dark place.
After the information exchange, Chen Ji asked them to pay more attention in the future, it would be better if they could find the trace of the man in black.
…
Ten p.m.
"Green Bamboo, Green Bamboo, I'm back~~"
Xia Shumin was embraced by Chen Ji and landed in her garden. She shouted happily into the house, and the pair of delicate twin maidservants ran out in light pajamas. Seeing her and Chen Ji with sleepy eyes, Xia Shumin suddenly Waking up with a start, they shouted happily together:
"Ah, it's Miss, Miss and Uncle are back~~!"
The crisp shout spread out, and the back house of Xia Mansion was alarmed.
Although most people in the mansion have fallen asleep, as long as the young lady and uncle come back, no matter how much they sleep, they will have to wake up and wait to see what the young lady needs, whether to eat or take a bath.
"Ah, don't disturb your parents!"
Xia Shumin hurriedly stopped them and told them not to shout.
Fortunately, other people didn't care. Some servant girls who were not neatly dressed ran over, their hair was still messy, obviously just woke up, but they also ran over and asked Lvzhu and Cuizhu if they would arrange for the kitchen to boil water.
Chen Ji watched this scene with a smile.
Every time he goes back to Hongye Mountain, he feels a sense of warmth. He likes the back house of the Xia Mansion, where the little lady lives, especially this small courtyard.
"Young master, go back."
Xia Shumin was very reserved, and reluctantly bid farewell to Chen Ji, and said embarrassingly: "The accommodation in the mansion is too bad. The water heater and bathtub in the son's house are better than the little girl's."
Chen Ji flicked her forehead with his fingers, "I don't have a bathtub, it belongs to your sister Wan's."
Xia Shumin bit her thin cherry lips, and wanted to say goodbye to the young master again, her heart was empty.
"Master..."
She yelled.
Chen Ji hugged her slender waist, and took off the thick warm clothes for her, which shocked the green bamboos who walked into the yard.
"Give your lady some clothes!"
Chen Ji smiled and untied the little lady's mink fur, cape, hat, scarf, and gloves, and threw them to the two maids.
Xia Shumin obediently let him fiddle with it.
Even she didn't notice, this was the first time she was undressed and taken off by the young master.
Fortunately.
Chen Ji asked her to wear white and light pajamas, and embraced the little lady in his arms.
"Young master."
Xia Shumin hugged him, not caring about whether a man and a woman kiss each other or not, and not caring about the son please respect yourself.
I want to hold the young master now.
"Next time, after the real estate agency confirms a few houses, I will go to see the house with you. We will buy one and live in it after we get married. How about it?"
Chen Ji held up her delicate and delicate face, and said softly.
"Um…"
Xia Shumin blushed with embarrassment, and Cuizhu behind her shouted "Miss Madam is here", and then she hurriedly pushed Chen Ji away: "Young Master, next time we go to buy a house, the home of Shumin and Young Master..."
Before Lu Rui stepped into the yard, she left Chen Ji's arms, stood awkwardly, and bowed to her mother who came in.
Chen Ji smiled, said goodbye to his future mother-in-law, and left this world.
Leave the little lady to face her mother.
Half an hour later.
"You, you, you are so stupid!"
After Lu Rui asked clearly, she nodded her precious daughter's forehead angrily: "How can you live in someone else's house?"
"It's the son's house..."
"It's not about your husband."
Lu Rui turned the corner and said.
Xia Shumin blushed again, and said falteringly, "Sister Wan? Sister Wan is a nice person. Mother, you don't know. Her house is very tall, and there are a lot of electric lights outside! It's so beautiful!"
The two maids are fascinated, wondering if they will see a large piece of electric lights when they marry the young lady in the future?
"You stupid girl!"
Lu Rui covered her forehead, and she had no face to look at her, "It's fine if you call someone else Sister Wan, and you can still live in it... In the future, it won't be that she wants to grow up and you become smaller?"
"..."
"..."
"ah?"
Xia Shumin was completely stunned.
Why didn't she think of this?
"Then that... Mother will teach me?"
"Teaching you to fight for favor? I'm sorry, your mother is a princess, and you have never fought for favor!"
"Woooooooooooooo!"
Xia Shumin covered her face with her hands.
Lu Rui glanced at her flimsy underwear, and sighed again, this stupid girl, her husband has seen her body, right?
Hurry up and marry her! This daughter can't have it!
