Chapter 489 Hidden Fruit Under the Robe
On the river bank, Li Changxiao put down the fruit and sat down next to Wang Ruyi, bringing a burst of fragrance that lingered around her nose. She had never felt that person so close to her.
It's not a dream, it's real.
Li Changxiao also realized that Wang Ruyi lacked a sense of security, and his own temperament and charm were true and false, real and empty. It was hard to understand.
He smiled at Wang Ruyi with some sincerity. Wang Ruyi turned his head away, his eyes hesitant and helpless, falling on the black iron on his feet and then on the black robe that covered his body.
Yet she felt inferior, as she knew very well that she was in no way good-looking at the moment. The robe completely covered her hair, leaving only her face exposed, but it was also covered in mud.
What a monster.
For some reason, she thought of the man in white again. She might as well just leave like this, at least she wouldn't have to see herself in this state.
If Li Changxiao knew what she was thinking, he would definitely be in a dilemma. That woman's thoughts were really hard to guess and understand.
But he didn't know that the more a woman cared, the more difficult it was to understand her. She was worried about gains and losses, looking ahead and behind, and her thoughts changed rapidly.
Li Changxiao could "find a needle in the ocean", but if he didn't use the dream path and look into the woman's heart, it would be much harder to find the needle in her heart. So how could he know the thousands of twists and turns and the myriad of feelings in Wang Ruyi's heart at this moment?
She didn't look at the latter, and tears started to fall again. One reason was her inferiority complex, and the other was that when she thought about her current situation, what would happen even if she was rescued?
I can't trouble others to take care of me for the rest of my life. These body-covering robes, black iron shackles, and ropes are not something that can be removed easily.
If she thought about it more deeply, that person would eventually get tired of her and leave her one day. When she thought about this, how could she not cry, how could she not be afraid? If he really abandoned her like this, it would be more painful than killing her directly.
"Why are you crying again?"
Li Changxiao had no choice but to cheat and intercepted that half of the dream, only then did he guess what Wang Ruyi was thinking.
It was because I was afraid of being abandoned.
The woman's mind was really full of thoughts. In just three or two breaths, she had reached the "ends of the world", leaving Li Changxiao far behind.
"Don't worry, I won't abandon you." Li Changxiao comforted with a smile. He sat down beside Wang Ruyi, picked up a small red fruit and put it next to Wang Ruyi's mouth.
Wang Ruyi was nervous. She raised her eyes and glanced at Li Changxiao. When she met his encouraging gaze, she slightly opened her lips and bit the small red fruit. The juice burst out of her mouth. It was sweeter than ever before. She had not tasted this flavor for a long, long time.
The flesh was fragrant, mixed with a bit of sweetness, like the source of life, filling her with vitality. She looked a bit shy, and wanted to eat a few more.
Li Changxiao agreed to her wish. This fruit was picked for her, so she should eat all of them. After eating four or five in a row, Wang Ruyi's eyebrows curved slightly and she felt a little happier.
Li Changxiao felt that just eating fruit was too monotonous, so he vowed to teach Wang Ruyi some new ways to eat it. Wang Ruyi nodded happily, his face full of anticipation.
Li Changxiao was extremely pleased with this expression. He considered himself a pioneer in food, and his innovation in food was the only thing he was proud of.
However, he has been doing this for a long time, but he has no peers. Whenever he comes up with a new way of eating, passers-by look at him strangely, unable to understand. He doesn't care, but compared to the strange looks, he hopes that someone will follow his example.
So he started to work hard. He first took an iron bowl, scooped water from the river, put it on the fire to boil, and when the water was boiling, he put plums and pears in one after another, covered the lid, and boiled for four or five minutes, and it was freshly baked.
He gave this soup a beautiful name "Pear Soup". He made two servings, one for himself. He took a sip while it was hot and it tasted strange.
It didn't taste good, but he could drink it. Just as he was hesitating whether to give it to Wang Ruyi, he met her expectant eyes, so he fed it to Wang Ruyi.
Unexpectedly, he liked it very much. If he could speak, he would definitely praise it generously. His eyes were shining, and he wanted to drink another bowl.
Li Changxiao used the remaining fruit to make another bowl. Based on his experience from last time, Li Changxiao made some improvements this time. He added salt, vinegar, and a little sugar to the soup for seasoning.
Seeing the person seasoning the food carefully and enthusiastically, Wang Ruyi's eyes gradually became sticky, like the ripples on the surface of a lake, shaking and swaying.
Only after the man in white brought the soup did she calm down and drink up the soup after being fed by him.
The taste was obviously very ordinary and a bit weird, with multiple shortcomings such as astringency of fruit and bland water taste. In terms of taste alone, she didn't like it.
But overall, she liked it very much.
"Good...delicious." Her voice was hoarse, and she tried her best to smile nicely, but she withdrew her smile after a moment. She felt uneasy in her heart, unable to move up or down. How could she look good with such dirt on her face?
I’m afraid the man in white won’t like it.
"Your vocal cords are damaged, maybe because you cry too much."
"But I don't blame you. Just cry less next time."
Li Chang said with a smile.
Wang Ruyi nodded. On the road just after she left Dayu City, she cried every day until her voice became hoarse, and then she cried until she could no longer make any sound and covered her tears.
"When your throat is better, you can cry again." Li Changxiao pondered for a moment and added. After such a big change, it would be bad if he didn't cry thoroughly and left with a knot in his heart.
Hearing this, Wang Ruyi's eyes welled up with tears again. She tried hard to hold back her tears, but she felt inexplicably aggrieved. It was a grievance that she desperately wanted to release because someone was willing to contact her.
It took a lot of effort to finally endure it.
After eating and drinking and putting out the fire, Li Changxiao looked Wang Ruyi up and down.
He reached out to touch it. The material of the robe was not simple. It should be a masterpiece from the Tianji Dao. There were two kinds of needles and threads used.
The first type of needlework is called "stone thread". As its name suggests, this thread is produced from a special ore: stone thread ore
Lithium ore is a kind of stone. Inside this kind of mineral is a very thin filament, which is so tiny that it is invisible to the naked eye. Only those who have specially trained their eyesight can see a glimpse of it.
This silk is tougher than black iron and can be spun out. Ten threads can be condensed into one thread, which can be used to sew clothes.
The thread needed for this body-covering robe would require about hundreds of thousands of pounds of stone thread ore.
This method is indeed unreasonable when used to deal with criminals, so the number of people who were stripped of their names has decreased.
The second kind of thread is also special, called eye thread, which can isolate pupil skills and spiritual consciousness to prevent cultivators from spying.
This body-covering robe was nothing to Li Changxiao, and it was not difficult to break it.
However, there is one thing that we have to consider.
Since Wang Ruyi is so important.
Along the way, they will break the emperor's heart and drown his body...the gods of mountains and rivers of Dayu country will be involved.
that…
There is no guarantee that Ji Beiming will not leave any tricks on him.
Li Changxiao vaguely realized that there might be a hidden dream fruit under the robe covering Wang Ruyi's body.
If he breaks it with his own hands, he will be in a situation where both the enemy and I are aware of it.
Before Ji Lu was killed, he reported to Ji Beiming that he had killed him. Li Changxiao took advantage of the situation and went into the dark, catching Ji Nan and Ji Huo by surprise.
If you can continue to hide your body, it will definitely be more beneficial than harmful to your next actions.
Therefore, to forcibly break the body-covering robe is the worst option. The best option is to ask those who entered the city to look for the Taoist secrets to help break it.
