Xie Lian, who originally intended to show off his skills, experienced many twists and turns in his confidence that night.

Hua Cheng did suggest that he should cook, but how could Xie Lian have the nerve to ask him to help him fix the door, clean the house, and cook for him? It was not reasonable to ask a guest to do this, and what did he think of the King of Desperate Ghosts?

Fortunately, he brought back a lot of food from the town. Although he had put most of it into the pot for Xie Lian last night, there were still some steamed buns, biscuits, vegetables, and fruits left. He could just nibble on them. But after he had finished, what should he do?

The next day, this question was solved. Early in the morning, a group of village girls knocked on the door of Puqi Temple and brought several large pots of porridge and a roasted chicken. The village girls were all shy and timid, and it was obvious who they were coming for. Xie Lian couldn't help but sigh secretly: Good looks can really be eaten.

The two children shared the roast chicken. Xie Lian only drank a little porridge. Hua Cheng did not touch anything and said, "Brother is really welcome here."

Xie Lian laughed and said, “Don’t make fun of me, Sanlang. It’s clear that everyone is not interested in drinking.”

After that bowl of food, Qi Rong struggled outside the temple for a whole night, wailing non-stop, saying things like, "I'd rather be caught by Lang Qianqiu and have him cut into pieces than be poisoned by you here!" "My cousin the crown prince, I was wrong, please give me the antidote!" He also seemed to have seen many hallucinations, and Gu Zi was simply terrified. When Qi Rong woke up early in the morning, he looked listless, his face had already turned blue, and now he lowered his head and slurped the porridge from the bowl held by Gu Zi. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and said in a hoarse voice, "Bullshit! What do you mean by being popular? Who comes for him? It's because of his shabby appearance! Also, Gou Huacheng, don't be so proud, you can only attract these country girls from the mountains, and they only come to you because you dress so richly! If you dress like a beggar, I don't believe they will still look down on you!"

Xie Lian thought, this is not right. Even if Hua Cheng was dressed like a beggar, Xie Lian believed that he could make a mountain of gold by begging. But he did not say anything, just worked slowly. After a while, a smell drifted away, and Qi Rong cried again: "What are you doing again! What is this!"

Xie Lian said in a gentle voice, “That pot of ‘Hundred Years of Happiness Soup’. I’m heating it up now.”

When Hua Cheng heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and said, "What a good name, what a good name."

Qi Rong said: "You even gave this thing a fucking name?!?! Stop it!!!"

There was no need to really feed him, just heating it up would bring back Qi Rong's horrible memory, and he dared not speak again. After finishing the meal, Lang Ying quietly collected the bowls and chopsticks, as if he was going to wash them, but Xie Lian said, "No need, go play over there, I'll do it."

Maybe he can't cook, but he can still wash dishes. Hua Cheng watched Lang Ying take Gu Zi out to play and said, "Let me do it."

Xie Lian declined, “You don’t have to do that either, just sit down.”

Before he finished speaking, Qi Rong, who had nothing to do after having eaten and drunk, whistled twice outside the door and said in a greasy tone, "Hey, little girl, why are you staring at me? Are you attracted to me?"

This ghost just said that he looked down on this country girl from a remote mountain area, but now he flirted with her in such a clichéd way. Xie Lian shook his head, thinking that he should drag him in, so as not to scare others by leaving him outside. Who knew that before he even opened the door, he heard the villagers outside exclaiming, "What a beautiful lady!"

"How could such a beautiful girl come to our village..."

"I have never seen such beautiful girls in my life, and there are two of them at once!"

Then, there was a knock at the door. It was the door of the Puqi Monastery. Xie Lian was puzzled: "A peerless beauty? Two more? Why are two peerless beauties knocking on my door? Ah, could it be that the rich businessman brought his new wife to fulfill his wish?" Thinking of this possibility, he quickly took the sign "This temple is in danger of collapse and needs donations" and prepared to put it out. At this time, he heard another girl say coldly: "What is that thing at the door? It's really an eyesore."

Then, another girl asked in confusion, "Is it raised to guard the house? No way. You wouldn't choose such a low-quality spiritual beast?"

Although these two were female voices, Xie Lian had heard them both before. Wind Master Qingxuan and Earth Master Yi!

He wanted to push the door open and go out immediately, but he turned around suddenly and saw Hua Cheng slowly cleaning up the dishes at the altar behind him. He stopped and looked out cautiously through the crack in the door.

There were two tall girls standing outside the door. One was a lady in white with red lips and white teeth, graceful and elegant, swinging a whisk, with bright eyes; the other was a lady in black, with white skin, beautiful and sharp eyebrows, and a very bad complexion, standing with her hands behind her back, looking away. The lady in white was smiling, bowing everywhere, and said, "Haha, thank you everyone, thank you everyone, don't praise me, don't be so high-profile. I am very troubled by you. It's almost done, thank you. Haha."

Xie Lian: “…”

A large group of villagers gathered around to see the beauty. After seeing the beauty, they began to point fingers at Qi Rong. Qi Rong was not happy and shouted wildly: "What are you looking at! I like lying on the ground! Get out of here! There's nothing good to see!" The villagers saw that this man behaved strangely and his face was ferocious and blue, so they all fled in fear. Shi Qingxuan said to Qi Rong: "This... green gentleman, may I ask if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the temple now?"

Upon hearing this person address Xie Lian as "Your Highness the Crown Prince", Qi Rong instantly lost interest in the two beauties in front of him and spat, "Bah! Turns out you're a dog official from the Heavenly Palace! I'm not a dog guarding the door for him. Listen carefully, I'm..." Before he finished speaking, Ming Yi came over with his head down, followed by a scream and a lot of bangs. From Xie Lian's position, he couldn't see clearly what Ming Yi did when he came up, he could only see Shi Qingxuan flicking his whisk and saying, "Brother Ming, this kind of violence isn't good!"

Ming Yi said indifferently: "What are you afraid of? He said it's not a domesticated spirit beast anymore."

“…”

In order to prevent Qi Rong from being beaten to death, Xie Lian had no choice but to open the door and raised his hand to stop him, saying, “Sir! Show mercy! You can’t hit him. He’s a human being!”

Seeing Xie Lian open the door, Ming Yi lifted the hem of his black robe and removed his boots from behind Qi Rong. Shi Qing Xuan came up and bowed, "Your Highness, I'm here a few days early. What's wrong with this guy? He can't even hide his evil spirit. Does he think we are blind? Well, let's go in and talk. This time I have something important to ask you for help..." As he spoke, he was about to walk around Qi Rong on the ground and enter the door. Hua Cheng was still in the room. How could Xie Lian dare to let them in like this? He hurriedly said, "Wait!"

However, it was too late. The Puqi Temple was so small that there was no place to hide. The two of them immediately saw the Desperate Ghost King standing behind Xie Lian, washing dishes. Their eyes met, and Hua Cheng smiled, revealing a little bit of white teeth. His smile was grim, but there was no smile in his eyes.

In an instant, Mingyi's pupils suddenly shrank, and he retreated three feet. Shi Qingxuan swung out the Wind Master Fan, took a stance, and was extremely alert: "Blood Rain Searching for the Flower!"

Qi Rong, who was covered in dust outside the door, was furious and said, "I am still traveling at night! How come you didn't recognize me after beating me for a long time, but you knew it was him as soon as you saw him?!"

Mingyi had sneaked into the ghost market and worked undercover for Huacheng for several years. Not long ago, he was caught by Huacheng and was imprisoned in the dungeon of the maze and beaten. Now that they are enemies, they are extremely jealous. The small Puqi Temple smells of poison inside and out. Huacheng threw away the rag in his hand and squinted his eyes and said, "Master Geomancer is still quite lively."

Mingyi also said in a cold voice: "Your Excellency the Ghost King is still as idle as before."

After pretending to greet him, Hua Cheng's tone and expression turned cold in the next sentence.

He warned, "Leave. I don't care what's important to you, don't come near here again."

Although he was very afraid of Hua Cheng, he was unwilling to give in and said in a deep voice, "It was not my intention to come here!"

Seeing that the smell of poison was about to turn into the smell of gunpowder, Xie Lian said, “Hey, this, this, Master Feng, what should we do?”

Shi Qingxuan tapped his forehead with his fan and said, "I didn't expect that Xueyu Tanhua would be right here with you! Didn't you just meet not long ago? How come you are together again so soon? In any case, it's best not to use force if it can be solved without it. Violence is not good. If a fight breaks out, let's stop it."

Xie Lian said, “I generally agree.” Qi Rong was looking forward to the two groups fighting, and had been listening attentively. Suddenly, he said, “Oh—so you are that bitch of the Wind Master???”

Xie Lian and Shi Qingxuan both turned to look at him. Qi Rong had scolded Shi Qingxuan in this way in his own cave. He even dared to scold him in this way in front of him. It was unclear whether he should be called courageous or mentally deficient. Shi Qingxuan had always lived a life of luxury. This was probably the first time he had heard someone scold him in this way. He blinked, looking puzzled, and said to Xie Lian, "Your Highness, wait a moment."

After saying that, he left the temple and closed the door. Qi Rong screamed again outside the door, and there were bangs and bangs. After a moment, Shi Qingxuan opened the door and came in, already in a male appearance. He said, "Okay. Where were we talking about just now? I'm hungry too. I think we should sit down and eat something first, and then we can discuss anything. There is nothing that can't be solved at the dinner table."

“…”

Although Xie Lian didn't really want them to fight in Puqi Temple, Hua Cheng seemed to be very angry about Ming Yi's undercover work. He didn't know what was going on, so it seemed unlikely that they would sit down and eat in peace. However, Hua Cheng didn't object. After a while of confrontation, the coldness on his face gradually disappeared, and he continued to wash the dishes. After washing, he walked to the pot and served a bowl of Hundred Years of Happiness Soup.

Seeing him withdraw his troops on his own initiative and stop the battle in time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The next step was to immediately change the topic and liven up the atmosphere, so Shi Qingxuan said, "Your Highness, what's in the pot? It seems to be still hot."

Xie Lian said, “Oh, I did that.”

The pot had been cooked for so long that the flavor had already been absorbed and the smell had dissipated a lot. Although the color was incredible, the shape had disappeared, and it looked much better than last night. Upon hearing this, Shi Qingxuan became very interested: "Really? I have never eaten anything made by a priest himself! Come on, let's try it."

As he spoke, he also took two sets of bowls and chopsticks and filled two bowls. To be honest, Xie Lian wanted to stop him. But Hua Cheng's repeated affirmation planted a seed of confidence in him. In addition, when he reheated it this morning, he also adjusted it according to Hua Cheng's advice last night, which gave him the thought that "maybe I saved it." He hesitated for a moment, but still did not say anything. He secretly looked forward to seeing Shi Qingxuan hand one of the bowls to Ming Yi and said, "Here, Brother Ming, your share."

Mingyi glanced into the bowl and reluctantly turned her face away.

This was a bit rude. Shi Qingxuan was furious and handed it over again, insisting: "Come and eat! Didn't you say you were hungry on the way?"

Hua Cheng slowly scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, brought it to his mouth, swallowed it, and smiled at Xie Lian, "It's indeed a little bland today, the taste is just right."

Xie Lian also smiled and said, “Really? I added more water today.”

Hua Cheng took another bite and said with a smile: "Brother is thoughtful."

Looking at Hua Cheng's appearance, it was very convincing to say that he was tasting some delicious food. After a while, Ming Yi finally took the bowl. Shi Qingxuan smiled and said, "That's right!" They both scooped a spoonful and put it into their mouths at the same time.
