Volume 2: Memories of Yonghui (Part 1) Chapter 6: Don't judge a person by his appearance
"Sister Chenyu, Brother Huanshu, let's go." The cute girl in green affectionately held the half-human, half-demon "Strange Flower" with one hand, while summoning the ball of meat. The three of them disappeared happily from Mo Yi's sight. The girl in green turned back and shouted as she walked: "We will bring you a gift back."
God, why did it turn out like this?
Finally, he got a moment of peace. The young man in blue clothes, who was sitting cross-legged in the bamboo house to regulate his breathing, opened his mouth and looked at the strange scene disappearing in front of him. He was speechless for a long time. He rubbed his temples with a headache, trying to recall the half day that gave him an extremely headache.
Since that day, Yao Ji slept for two whole days and gradually woke up in the early morning of the third day.
Seeing Yao Ji wake up, the other two who had taken turns to be Mo Yi's door gods since the first day seemed even more excited than Mo Yi.
They rushed forward to ask about his well-being and forced the owner of the bamboo house, Mo Yi, into a corner.
After two days of observation, Mo Yi found that these two people were really grateful to Yao Ji. Seeing that Yao Ji had regained consciousness and was fine, he felt relieved.
I simply let them do whatever they want, and I was happy to take a nap in the corner. In fact, since that day, Mo Yi has been working without taking off his clothes for two days, and has not slept or slept. Although he believes that this is his responsibility as a temporary guardian.
Yao Ji sat on the bed in the bamboo house and looked around curiously. The two familiar strangers who had been talking non-stop since she woke up were now so enthusiastic that Yao Ji was a little overwhelmed.
After learning about the past from them, Yao Ji felt a little embarrassed, which was unusual for her.
In fact, I took them out into the battle on a whim. I was not as noble as they thought. I was just forced by the situation and could not bear to push them into eternal damnation, so I reluctantly acted as a good guy.
But she didn't expect that the other party would be so grateful. Yao Ji moved her body uncomfortably, her eyes passed the two people in front of her who were tightly blocking each other, and through the rare gap between them, she found Mo Yi who was sitting alone in the corner, dozing off with a tired face.
Yao Ji had just learned from that "weird guy" everything that happened after she fainted, especially the fact that Mo Yi decided to share a room with her without her permission. She didn't know what the "weird guy" was thinking, but he exaggerated the story. Yao Ji was so upset that she rarely showed a bit of embarrassment.
Although she knew in her heart that Mo Yi might just be worried about her temporary companion, especially about her sharing a room with the girl from the Kongming tribe, the sixteen-year-old girl's heart, which was just beginning to fall in love, gradually became unable to hold back...
When Mo Yi, who was taking a nap, was awakened by Yao Ji's scream, he subconsciously drew the cold iron short blade in his right hand. Even in his dream, he did not relax his vigilance, and his sharp blade was always within reach...
But, it was just a false alarm.
But it's no wonder that Yao Ji exclaimed in surprise. Even Mo Yi couldn't help but smack his lips when he saw the scene in front of him.
What are they doing? Are they playing the emperor having a meal?
The duo who were repaying their gratitude were both "weirdos". No one knew when and where they found so many things. Now, the wooden table in front of Yao Ji's bed was filled with all kinds of delicious food, from vegetables, fruits, to roast suckling pig, beggar's chicken, stewed fish soup, fried quail. No creature flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the water was spared and all were placed in front of the girl's bed.
"What are you doing? Feeding pigs?" Mo Yi couldn't help but tease.
But the short fat man said seriously: "Miss Yaoji has been in a coma for two days and has not eaten a single grain of rice. She also used up her spiritual power in trying to break the formation. We thought we should make some delicious food to nourish her body, but we don't know what she likes."
The half-human, half-demon responded repeatedly, "Yes, Zhuo Ao is really stingy. As the city lord, the food he provides every day is just plain tea and rice. How can he let a little girl eat this? So we decided to go to Yonghui City and find the best restaurant. We asked them to pack up all the delicious food and drinks, and we carried them all back in a flash."
Seeing how they talked about such perverted things so lightly, Yao Ji and Mo Yi looked at each other and couldn't help laughing at the same time. These two were really wonderful people. Although their appearance was different from that of ordinary people, their minds were extremely delicate, and their expressions were clumsy and somewhat cute.
This kind of person makes people like him from the bottom of their hearts when they get along with him.
Yao Ji blinked and looked at them pitifully: "But, there are so many, how can I finish them? We all have to work together."
The short and fat man was straightforward. Upon hearing this, he stuffed a chicken leg into his mouth without saying a word and began to chew it with relish, while commenting incoherently: "Well, the chefs in Yonghui City are quite skilled. I'll invite the best chef back to give my brothers a good feast... Hey, why are you looking at me? Eat it! It's getting cold if you don't eat it now!"
As he spoke, he also called out to Mo Yi who was watching the fun on the side, but Mo Yi just waved his hand.
"Eat, eat! Keep eating. If you keep eating you will become like a pig. I'll see how you can get back into your house." The half-human, half-demon looked at his cowardly appearance with dissatisfaction, feeling that getting to know such a person was a loss of his taste.
"Did you know each other before?" As if she had discovered that the relationship between the two was unusual, Yao Ji asked while taking the fruit that the short and fat man handed over enthusiastically.
"More than just knowing each other, he has been following me everywhere since he started wearing open-crotch pants." Although they have been together for two days, every time Mo Yi hears this half-human, half-demon making a woman's charming voice with a rough man's face, he feels a chill down his spine.
But Yao Ji didn't care, probably because there were too many weirdos in Shamo City. In fact, quite a number of wizards in Shamo City had very peculiar or unusual tastes. Growing up in such an environment, Yao Ji was naturally immune to "weirdos".
During the pleasant meal, Yao Ji learned some life stories of these two people.
The two were close friends and had come together to participate in the Yonghui martial arts competition.
The short and fat man was called Huan Shu, but he was the eldest son of the famous and wealthy Huan family in Mobei.
Speaking of the Huan family, they are a wealthy and powerful family that is well-known to everyone in the Xu Ming Realm. The Huan family originated from Wucheng in Mobei. At first, they were just an ordinary merchant doing timber business. Later, when the Xu Ming Realm was in turmoil several decades ago, the head of the Huan family had a sharp vision and acquired several mines, and actually started a business of processing and selling ironware.
Over the past few decades, the ironware business has grown bigger and bigger, almost monopolizing the ironware supply of a quarter of the city-states in the Void Realm.
Even Yao Ji, who had always been ignorant and stayed in seclusion in Shamo City, knew a thing or two . The most famous weapon shops in Shamo City were branches of the Huan family.
Yao Ji looked at the famous eldest son of the Huan family, who was competing with the roast suckling pig with his mouth full of oil, and felt a little amused. She thought that he was a noble son who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, so how could he look like this? Aren't the so-called sons of wealthy families all handsome and suave?
The eldest son of the Huan family, who was chewing a pig's trotter with relish, probably didn't know how he had destroyed the image of the rich young men in the girl's mind.
As if seeing through Yao Ji's thoughts, the half-human, half-demon sighed softly: "He has been like this since he was a child, just like a starving ghost reincarnated. There is no hope for him, there has been no hope for a long time."
He sighed as he spoke, and that expression and tone made Yao Ji laugh out loud.
And she herself is even more of a legend. When she said her name, Yao Ji and Mo Yi were petrified in an instant.
What's this person's name? Shen Chenyu!
Chenyu? Yes, it is indeed taken from the two words "chenyu luoyan".
Mo Yi looked at her face desperately, and after confirming her gender and name again, he turned his head away with a look of pain on his face. Yao Ji could see clearly that Mo Yi's shoulders, which were facing away from them, were shaking... shaking uncontrollably...
Well, Yao Ji could actually understand Mo Yi's feelings. She never judged people by appearance, and at this moment, she also had the urge to burst out laughing. However, considering the other person's feelings, she could only pinch her fingers tightly without changing her expression to prevent herself from laughing and hurting the other person's self-esteem. However, the name the other person gave...
“Don’t look at her now. She was really a beauty before. It’s no exaggeration to say that she was so beautiful that she could captivate fish and geese.” As if he had seen through the smiles that Yao Ji and Mo Yi were trying to hold back, and as if he was trying to help his old friend, the eldest son of the Huan family gave up the bargaining for the and spoke seriously.
It turns out that Shen Chenyu also has a prominent background. In fact, her fame far exceeds that of the eldest son of the Huan family.
Shen Chenyu is the eldest daughter of the Wucheng Shen family. The Wucheng Shen family is a well-known name in the Xuming world!
What do you do?
You don’t even know this, you are so ignorant!
That is the legendary Medicine King family!
It is said that most of the so-called panaceas in the world come from the Shen family's prescriptions. It is said that on the market, a newly developed prescription of the Shen family can be sold for a fortune!
What made the Shen family famous was that the mayor of Wuyou City suddenly fell ill and could not get up. It is said that all the doctors in the city could not diagnose the disease. Finally, the mayor's son took 100,000 taels of gold and several slaves to the Shen family in Wucheng to ask for medicine. The young man knelt outside the door of the Shen family for three days. The old man of the Shen family was moved by his filial piety and gave him a pill of the Shen family's secret elixir "Unstained Lotus Seed".
It is said that after the old city lord ate the "unstained lotus seed", his illness was quickly cured. Since then, the Shen family of Wucheng has become an immortal legend in the virtual world.
Everyone knows that if there is an unsolved disease, then going to Wucheng to seek medicine is the only choice.
However, Mo Yi now had some doubts about the legend of the Shen family in Wucheng. He thought, if the Shen family's panacea was really so powerful, why didn't they treat his eldest daughter first? How did she become like this? He glanced at the eldest daughter of the Shen family and still couldn't help feeling a chill.
In fact, Yao Ji had the same question in her mind at this moment. Although she was not a person who judged people by their appearance, the eldest lady of the Shen family looked so different from ordinary people. It would be better if she was more normal.
The eldest daughter of the Shen family was also a smart person. She naturally saw the doubts that the two of them were reluctant to express, so she took the initiative to ask: "You want to know why I became like this, right?"
Yao Ji's thoughts were seen through, and she lowered her head in shame, thinking that the sister of the Shen family treated her so sincerely, but she was criticizing her in secret, which made her feel embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, Shen Chenyu had a helpless expression on her face: "It is because my father's medicine is so effective that I became like this."
While Yao Ji and Mo Yi were waiting for her to answer their questions in surprise, Shen Chenyu's expression suddenly looked a little embarrassed: "My father is kind-hearted. Most of his medicines are tonics, which can strengthen the body, refresh the mind and replenish qi. So when I was a child, I liked to sneak into my father's alchemy room and steal his pills to eat as candy. As a result, because a certain medicine looked very special and the color was red, it was very beautiful, so I stole one pill every day to eat. As a result, I didn't expect that the medicine would... actually have such side effects. When my father found that my appearance began to become a little abnormal, I had been secretly taking it for several years. The effect of the medicine had already penetrated into my internal organs. Even my father was powerless to save me... But I didn't expect that the effect of the medicine would be so strong. I have stopped taking it for several years and have taken the neutralizing antidote specially made by my father later, but I am still getting better day by day... like a man..."
After hearing this, Yao Ji and Mo Yi's eyes widened and they became even more curious. They wondered what kind of medicine could turn an ordinary woman into this... eh, weird appearance?
Mo Yi was fine, but Yao Ji couldn't keep her words to herself. She ignored the embarrassed expression of the eldest lady of the Shen family and asked directly, "What kind of medicine can make a person like this?"
Shen Chenyu's face instantly turned red, and she stammered, "Yeah, that's right, that's right, anyway, it's the kind of medicine for men."
Mo Yi was such a smart man that he understood immediately. He lowered his head slightly and his shoulders began to tremble slightly...
Yao Ji, however, was a complete idiot. She continued to ask without understanding the situation, "What do you mean by medicine for men? What kind of medicine is it? Why have I never heard of such a medicine?"
Of course, Yao Ji had never heard of it. The little girl was brought up and cared for by her strict uncle and gentle brothers. How could those people tell her such worldly things in their hearts? Even if she listened, she would have nowhere to listen.
Faced with Yao Ji's persistent and earnest questioning, the eldest daughter of the Shen family remained silent for a rare moment...
Yao Ji turned her gaze to look at Mo Yi again, only to see that Mo Yi lowered his head and covered his stomach, his shoulders shaking even more violently, almost bending over. Was it that funny?
Yao Ji continued to look at the eldest son of the Huan family with her innocent eyes in confusion. The eldest son of the Huan family was already laughing so hard that he was out of breath and was gasping for air desperately...
"What on earth is it? Give me some answer! Can't I just admit that I'm stupid?" Yao Ji was really angry this time. The feeling of being clearly a fool made her furious, and she roared with all her might.
"Stupid, aphrodisiac!"
No matter how ignorant and naive Yao Ji was, she could guess what this thing was just by the name. Now it was her turn to be petrified...
Many years later, when Yao Ji recalled the scene of that day, she still couldn't help blushing with shame, for her ignorance and shameless questioning...
