Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 519: October Rope Weaving (Part )

"what?"

Several people immediately looked into the pool and saw that the water surface suddenly returned to calm.

The next moment, a bubble suddenly broke through the water and the boy was pulled out of the water.

……

Endless coldness penetrated into his bones. At this moment, Li Yao even wanted to curl up in his daze - he had no idea which would come first, freezing to death or drowning.

Twelve years old is too short to see the real world. The boy grew up under the arrangement of others. His aunt told him to study hard, so he studied hard. His aunt retreated and was polite in front of others, so he didn't know how to deal with the malice of others. Those twisted and wanton laughter still came in faintly, but he could hardly hear them clearly...

And at this moment, the pain suddenly left him.

It happened so suddenly that he had no time to react. The suffocation was gone, but his body was still cold. However, a warm heat had entered his body, spreading out tinglingly, while water was pushed out of his nasal cavity and ear canal.

The heavy body floated out of the water lightly - there was a delicate silk ribbon wrapped around the waist.

Li Yao flew in the air at a loss, heading for the shore. The fear of falling made him scream. However, he saw another strange scene in the air. The man holding the pole to stir the water suddenly showed fear, and then his body went uncontrollably into the pool, waving his limbs like a funny clown.

"Hey! Hey!! No, don't! Someone is pushing me!"

——There was clearly no one behind him.

...Is there a ghost? Li Yao thought blankly.

On the other side, several people stood up in a panic and looked around, but the small garden was still as quiet as ever.

The next moment, the second person suddenly kicked up his legs in panic, shouting incoherent words and jumped into the pool.

The remaining three people were even more panicked. Li Heng held the dagger at his waist and shouted angrily: "I am the second son of King Xin! Who is playing tricks here——"

His voice stopped abruptly, and his mouth closed into a straight line.

Then he entered the water with the most unique posture. His limbs were brought together along his torso to form a straight flagpole. Then he seemed to be pushed by someone and rolled upside down on the shore and fell into the pool with a splash.

That should be a good ghost.

Then comes the second to last person.

Lian Lin had already pursed her lips and flew backwards. A distance of more than ten feet was actually just a blink of an eye for a cultivator, but the next moment she was like a bird hitting a wall of air, stopping abruptly in the air, then drawing an arc and being thrown into the pool.

All five people fell into the water, and the strangest thing was that they clearly all had true energy, but at this moment they seemed to have forgotten it all, and looked at the water below them in horror, as if it were countless hands entangled with them.

The five people were floundering in panic. The so-called cultivators were no different from ordinary people after losing their support. They were as embarrassed and frightened as five soaked chickens in the water, with water pouring in from all seven orifices. The whole garden was filled with distorted shouts and intermittent requests for help.

Li Yao fell from the air and was about to touch the ground. A gentle force of energy supported him, allowing him to sit down on the ground steadily.

"What's the fun of being alone? It's fun when a group of people are struggling, just like making dumplings." The girl's crisp voice came from behind, accompanied by a relaxed pace.

The footsteps stopped behind him. Li Heng and Lian Lin were not far from the edge of the pond. They tried their best to splash water forward, but their bodies could not move forward an inch. They tilted their heads back and stuck their mouths out of the water, but the next moment they choked on the water again.

Li Yao raised his head and saw the sword-wielding girl pointing her finger at her chin, looking at the two figures in embroidered clothes in the water. She deliberately showed curiosity and seemed so lively, but she couldn't hide her sly smile.

"Where did you two come from? A green frog and a yellow toad, how come you can't swim?"

This is a bottom-up perspective.

This was the most beautiful chin and profile he had ever seen.

…When he came to his senses, the girl was already looking down at him with narrowed eyes.

Li Yao shuddered violently, and she asked, "Why are you staring at me?"

Li Yao was speechless for a moment, and quickly lowered his head. After a long while, he said, "Thank you very much for saving me. My name is Li Yao, the son of the virtuous king. What's your name?"

"My name is Zhao Baibi." The girl still propped up her chin and teased the person in the water, "Nice to meet you."

“…Nice to meet you.”

"..."

"..."

"You, dare I ask, are you the general's daughter?"

"Hmm?" Zhao Baibi tilted his head. "Do I look like him?"

Li Yao stared at her facial features, but he still couldn't come to a conclusion. His face suddenly felt hot, and he tilted his head and said, "I don't know."

Fortunately, the girl noticed the people still in the water, and she raised her chin and said softly, "I am not from this mansion, I am just staying here casually. Well... there is a nice woman, I want to learn swordsmanship from her."

Li Yao was confused for a moment. The girl was not much older than him, and he didn't understand what this meant - what about her parents' family background?

But soon he thought of something he had heard before: "Oh! You are from the 'sect', you came down the mountain, right?"

The girl said calmly: "I don't belong to any sect or school. I am not from anywhere. I can go wherever I like and stop wherever I like."

She gave him a mysterious and beautiful smile. Li Yao had never seen anyone with such a temperament. She was like the clouds in the sky that gathered and dispersed with the wind, or like the cranes that came and went in the mountains, always free from any constraints. It was a state that he almost longed for.

Later he realized that it was called freedom.

At this moment Li Yao was stunned for a moment and just looked at her.

Finally, all five people in the pool drowned. The girl had maliciously gathered them together, and they started to tear and pull each other, almost fighting. At this time, they were all in disarray and looked as miserable as beggars.

Zhao Baibi brought them all up and looked back at Li Yao: "Let's go, I'll take you there."

Li Yao subconsciously dodged and covered his face: "No, no, I have to heal the wound on my face."

"You're going to go find a doctor yourself, and you're still going to rely on me?"

"No, no, if he's injured..." Li Yao frowned, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "My aunt will see it... and we're here as guests at the general's house. It would be too undignified to do this..."

Zhao Baibi looked at him in surprise: "How can there be someone as stupid as you?"

"……what?"

"They hit you, not you hitting them." Zhao Baibi seemed to have discovered a new species in the world and stared at him. "You have been bullied like this, what does it have to do with you whether you are embarrassed or not?"

"..."

Li Yao stared at her blankly, thinking for a long time, and suddenly realized that it seemed...

…That’s right too.
