Bright!

"I'm not very familiar with Tianrui Lifeng. Do you have any good restaurants that you can recommend?"

Xu Le's question is a very normal inquiry. Normal people, as locals at this time, will naturally give some answers, such as where is good food and so on.

But the problem is... Chi Xiao is not a normal person.

After being asked this question by Xu Le, she hesitated for a moment and then shook her head.

"I have no idea."

Xu Le:? ?

"What's the meaning?"

Chi Xiao's character is relatively straightforward. Even if he is a little embarrassed, he will not hide too much about such things.

So...she told her embarrassing situation directly.

“I usually don’t have many friends, and I don’t really like to communicate with others or talk to meaningless people, so I cook by myself most of the time.

Of course, if there are friends around, I will go to a restaurant to eat. "

As he said that, Chi Xiao glanced at the black cat to emphasize himself.

Damn otaku!

Xu Le's first reaction was this.

And Chi Xiao does have a tendency to be an otaku, but she is not corrupt or plays games.

The things she does in her home are quite special, such as squatting in the realm of the mother tree every day and forging iron...

When Xu Le thought about it carefully, he found that Chi Xiao really liked blacksmithing, to the point of love and obsession.

A woman who likes blacksmithing is top of the line.

"What are you thinking about?" Chi Xiao suddenly asked.

"Um, I'm thinking about what to eat later."

"Your lying skills are not very good."

"This is not a very important thing..."

Xu Le quickly changed the topic:

"You said you cook for yourself on weekdays, so what do you usually eat?"

Just as Xu Le finished speaking, he saw Chi Xiao taking out a piece of meat from somewhere, and the flames on his fingertips flashed away.

This piece of meat is done...

"This way, you can eat it." Chi Xiao said seriously.

Xu Le:......

The cooked meat in front of me was not charred and ugly, but it definitely couldn't be said to be a dish that could be served on the table.

There is no seasoning...and it looks dry.

Chi Xiao usually eats this kind of thing?

"To be honest, it doesn't look particularly delicious."

"That's true, but making delicious food is such a waste of time. Careful cooking itself requires a lot of effort. I don't have that much time."

Chi Xiao was as sincere as ever.

Xu Le also nodded.

"Understood, let's start with simple snacks today. I've been in Tin Shui Lifeng for a while, and I feel that many of the folk snacks here are pretty good."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Chi Xiao nodded.

Xu Le is actually a little unnatural here.

How does it feel when a level 7 legendary master weakly says in front of you, "Okay, I'll listen to you?"

The feeling of fear.

"Then...let's go."

Ding Ke didn't have any objections. It was just the owner's pet. Xu Le would eat whatever he ate.

Of course, it can't be too cowardly.

Following Xu Le, the two of them and one cat came to a snack street in the north of Tianrui Lifeng.

Xu Le did not go to a specialized high-end store, because often the really delicious things are hidden in such snack streets.

"How's your appetite?" Xu Le asked Chi Xiao.

This is quite necessary, as the physical consumption of each warlock varies greatly.

Some warlocks consume more energy than warriors, or even several times more. This is especially evident in some alchemists who have undergone body transformation.

There are also some warlocks who have very small appetites and are weak.

The situation on Chixiao's side...Xu Le couldn't tell clearly, so he needed to ask.

"My appetite...is okay."

Xu Le got an ambiguous answer, which gave him an idea of ​​what to do.

"I understand, then I will order food normally."

"Okay, it's up to you."

This was the third time Chi Xiao responded to Xu Le like this, which made Xu Le a little embarrassed.

But he didn't stop either. He went to the snack bar and bought some chicken racks, chicken wings, a few skewers of barbecue, and then bought two bowls of hot and sour noodles.

I went to buy three more drinks and a bag of potato chips.

In short, it is basically some junk food, which may have great food safety risks.

Will Xu Le and Chi Xiao care? Not at all.

Their life essence is already much higher than that of ordinary people. As long as they don't take poison directly, food safety issues are not important at all.

This is a better place than the previous life!

"Okay, find a seat, sit down and eat and drink."

After Xu Le bought something, he found a place with the most people and sat down.

Ding Ke immediately pulled it with his paws and took away a chicken leg first.

Xu Le also leaned on the chair very comfortably.

Only Chi Xiao himself seemed a little embarrassed at this time.

It's quite strange for a level 7 master to feel cramped in an environment of ordinary people.

"Chixiao, what's wrong with you?"

"There are too many people. I'm not used to it."

"Well, if you don't like it, we can change it. It doesn't matter. I just hope you can enjoy the meal."

Chi Xiao's frown gradually opened, and he shook his head slightly:

"This is it. It's not anyone else's problem. I will get used to it gradually."

"That's good, let's eat!"

Xu Le handed a bottle of drink to Chi Xiao, and this time the entertainment officially began.

Xu Le and Ding Ke didn't have any scruples. They were used to such a relaxed pace.

But the changes in Chixiao were a bit big. At first, she sipped her drink in small sips and didn't take much initiative in eating.

Until Ding Ke spoke:

"Why are you so reserved? Can't you just eat normally? We haven't eaten together often before? Why are you pretending to be reserved like this?"

Chi Xiao stared at the black cat fiercely, even though Ding Ke was a very good friend.

But if you expose your boss, you should be punished!

"You guy, you cried a lot in the past."

"Reaching each other out, right? That's not what you used to do when you called me sister."

Xu Le saw them exposing each other and did not dare to interrupt at this time.

Eat and pretend to be dead.

After a tit-for-tat confrontation between one person and one cat, the awkward atmosphere was completely resolved, allowing Chi Xiao to start eating normally.

Then Xu Le discovered... Chi Xiao's appetite was amazing.

The hot and sour noodles were eaten as if they had not been eaten, and then he ate his share.

Snacks and stuff never stopped.

He didn't dare to say anything and kept silent the whole time. Then he called the waiter here and ordered a few more orders for Chi Xiao to make up for.

Xu Le glanced at Chi Xiao's eyepatch and the slightly raised corners of her mouth.

I immediately felt that the meal was at least a success and my friend was quite happy with it, which was good.

"These foods... taste quite rich." Chi Xiao suddenly said.

After saying this, her eating movements slowed down, maybe because she realized that Xu Le had been observing her.

"That's necessary. There are so many delicacies in the world, but you are ignorant." Ding Ke was very unconvinced by Chi Xiao.

It can be seen that it is very concerned about its defeat to Chi Xiao, so it becomes a little targeted.

Compared to Ding Ke's eighty-odd ideas, Chi Xiao is much more upright.

"Yes, I know too little about eating. After all, I spend most of my time practicing and fighting."

Ding Ke:......

"Okay, why not eat my chicken legs, just like the water."

After the topic of a woman and a cat ended, Chi Xiao turned his attention to Xu Le, who had been silent.

"Why don't you say anything? Is it awkward to eat with me?"

"It was a little embarrassing before, but not anymore."

"That's good." Chi Xiao nodded.

Xu Le's eyes were a little complicated.

He knew very well that Chi Xiao was definitely not the kind of silly Baitian who was inexperienced in the world. She was not stupid or sweet at all.

On the contrary, she is very smart, absolutely scheming, and has an online IQ, which can be seen from her previous performance in the lighthouse.

And he kills without blinking an eye... I'm not exaggerating at all, he kills without blinking an eye.

The contrast between that kind of Chi Xiao and the woman in front of him was so great. This was something Xu Le was never used to.

"You always look at me with strange eyes, Xu Le, don't treat me as an alien, even though I have a disability..."

"Never, absolutely not."

"Tell me about your research, cultivating a replacement for the Ancient Yinduo Tree... Do you want to replace it?"

If there is anyone in this world who understands the Guyinduo Mother Tree, then apart from Guyinduo's son, the two most profound people are undoubtedly Xu Le and Chi Xiao.

Chi Xiao's time in the Mother Tree Realm was far longer than that of Xu Le.

She knows the secrets of the mother tree no less than Xu Le, so she can see through Xu Le's thoughts at a glance.

Xu Le knew that from now on, the real conversation would begin, and he became serious.

"Yes, do you understand the current situation of the mother tree?"

"Chaos, corruption, pollution, you mean these?"

"That's probably it. The place and time of contact are too few, so I don't know whether the mother tree was like this before or whether it changed later.

My inference is that after it separated from too many rules, that is, after the son of Guyin Duo separated, it began to become brainless. "

In this world, Chi Xiao may be the only person who can talk freely about the Ancient Sound Duomu Tree with him.

So Xu Le was very concerned about this conversation and expressed his innermost thoughts.

The situation on Chi Xiao's side is actually similar.

She has spent a lot of time in contact with the Guyin Duomu Tree, even more than Xu Le, and is also worried about the situation of the Guyin Duomu Tree.

Therefore, Xu Le is also a very special existence to Chi Xiao.

In addition to being able to choose the right fruit for her, Xu Le himself is also the only person she can communicate with about the ancient Yinduo mother tree.

“You’re basically right, the mother tree wasn’t that bad before.

The time when things started to get bad... seems to have been in the past two years. "

"In the past two years..." Xu Le frowned slightly.

"It started when you appeared in the Mother Tree Realm. During the Red Moon Tribulation, the Red Moon roared, and something should be attacking it.

With the protection of the gods, I can't get close to the red moon, so I don't know the specific situation very well. "

Chi Xiao's words made Xu Le frown even deeper.

He was special, of that he was sure.

The existence of the Soul Tree itself is inextricably related to the Ancient Sound Tree.

From a certain perspective, the characteristics of the Soul Tree are too similar to the parent tree, so similar that they can replace them.

And Xu Le himself had the idea of ​​replacing it because of the persecution of the mother tree.

"Did the mother tree start to become impatient after I appeared?"

"Yes, that was the first time I heard the roar of the red moon. Since then, the black tide has become more violent, more violent than before."

"Then do you think there is a possibility that something has made the Ancient Yinduo Mother Tree become anxious?"

Xu Le didn't say too much, he looked at Chi Xiao tentatively.

Chi Xiao thought for a while, then nodded.

"Yes, it has become anxious. It is very eager to kill Hongyue, so it has begun to affect the world."

"Then the question is, does the Red Moon Temple protect Hong Yue? If it protects Hong Yue, how should Hong Yue be killed?

There has to be a way, right? "

"The current relationship between Red Moon Temple and Hong Yue... is also very complicated. The attitude of the master of Red Moon Temple towards Hong Yue has become blurred recently.

But what is certain is that deep in the Red Moon Temple, there is a direct channel to the Red Moon.

Therefore, every time there is a black tide, the intensity of the attack on the Red Moon Temple is the highest. "

"Chixiao..."

"Um?"

"If I plant my own trees and spread the fruits myself, will there be any consequences?"

"What are the consequences? I have to hear your own opinion on this."

Xu Le's expression was somewhat obscure:

"My strength is too weak. If word spreads about planting trees and fruits, there will definitely be someone in power who will covet my strength.

At that time, whether it is plunder or destruction, I will not be able to compete.

Research on Guyinduo will also be interrupted. "

"Do you want me to help you? Just ask."

"Uh... I'm sorry to ask you for help." Xu Le scratched his head.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Since we are friends, it's natural to help each other.

Moreover, what you do has something to do with me. "

Chi Xiao smiled and then covered his blindfold.

Xu Le vaguely remembered that there was an ancient sound energy vortex under Chi Xiao's eye patch.

She didn't know if that was the special mark Gu Yinduo left on her, but even he didn't have that thing.

"Oh, by the way, Chi Xiao, have you ever been coerced or threatened by Gu Yinduo?"

Chi Xiao did not answer this question immediately. After thinking for a moment, she nodded.

"Had."

"Have you ever? When? How did you deal with it?"

"Probably when I was at my worst, my arm was broken and my eyes were blind. The ancient Yin Duomu tree used its energy as a mark to fill my original eyeballs.

The blindfold... was also put on at that time. "

When Chi Xiao said this, Xu Le suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The will of the mother tree at that time was to allow itself to absorb the traces of light casting and eventually become the new son of Gu Yinduo.

So is Chi Xiao in front of me a similar existence?

This matter needs a reminder.

"Chixiao, have you ever thought that in the eyes of the mother tree, you exist as a container?"
