Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 575: Leyouyuan

The warmth in the car quickly penetrated into the boy's body. He drank the tea, and his lungs felt warm. The kitten jumped and lay down beside the stove.

"It took me about half a minute from the time I made the move to the time I finished. Everyone who saw me is dead, and Ling Xuan was washed away by the Chi Fire." Pei Ye said, "But there are many magical methods in the world, and it is hard to say how others will find me. I can leave the city and leave Beijing today. You can tell me whatever you want."

Xu Chuo glanced at him and said, "Where are you going in the winter?"

"The world is so big, there is no place where we cannot find a place to stay. That's easy to say." Pei Ye said, "I mean, you can send the Immortal Platform or something to capture me and clear yourself of suspicion."

Xu Chuo looked up at him. Although the young man's face was still pale, he was indeed ready for a fight. His eyes were bright and calm, like a lone beast in the mountains... Even though he had been immersed in the prosperity and warmth of the capital for several months, he seemed to be unrestrained by abandoning it all.

"Are you going to live like this for the rest of your life?" She lowered her head and arranged the tea set.

"what?"

"He killed people wantonly, regardless of whether he could kill or not, and then he was swept away by the huge waves and lost his mind about where he was. He wandered around the world, with countless grudges tied to him, and took care of the affairs of each place... until he suddenly died."

“…I may not die.”

Xu Chuo smiled: "Then you are quite amazing."

"I'm already very powerful." Pei Ye snorted and looked at her again, "I asked you before I killed someone, and you nodded."

"So it means 'ask'?" Xu Chuo was surprised. "So if I had shaken my head, Young Master Pei would not have killed me."

"..."

"You don't have to go anywhere, and you don't have to leave Beijing." Xu Chuo smiled and said seriously.

"What's the point of killing a pig and a dog? If you don't kill him, I will kill him too... The Five Surnames are used to playing house games, do you think I will join them?" Xu Chuo put away the tea set and drove the carriage. "Remember I told you that there will be a job for you after the Winter Sword Gathering?"

"Hmm, what is it?"

Xu Chuo did not answer, but lifted a corner of the curtain and said, "No hurry, let's go and give the gift first."

The carriage went eastward. Chang'an City was very large. Even though he had been here for two months, Pei Ye had not been to most places. This was one of them. However, after two quarters of an hour, Pei Ye roughly identified the direction - this was the road he had taken to Xunfang Garden before, but it was to the north of it, or in other words, to the north of the old site of Qujiang.

The streets here gradually became wider, the houses became fewer, but there were more pavilions. Going further east, the terrain gradually began to rise, and the golden morning sun sprinkled on the flat land, the trees were sparse, and the stream was frozen. This was of course still in Chang'an City, but it was not arranged like an ordinary city. It felt like being in the suburbs.

Xu Chuo stopped the carriage, held the heating stove and led Pei Ye down, then he took a pot of wine and asked him to carry the head.

"Leyou Plain." Xu Chuo took a deep breath, the morning breeze blowing her hair. "This is an ancient plain. It has been two thousand years since the Han Dynasty."

Pei Ye looked around and although the place had such a long history, there was nothing special about it. Only some pavilions and steles looked quite old. Xu Chuo took him to a place far away from human traces. When they reached the forest, the thick remaining snow had not yet melted away but had become hard, with yellow leaves and dead branches melted in it. Every time Pei Ye stepped, a mark was left.

There were many footprints in the shallow part, but in the deep part there were almost no traces of people, except for some tracks of small animals such as pikas and rabbits. Xu Chuo walked behind him without making any sound, and only said, "Just keep going straight ahead. The forest is not that big."

It was not very big indeed. It took only a quarter of an hour to get out of the forest. It was not a sudden enlightenment, but there was a small open space between the forest and the hills. It was a place with nothing to do except being remote. Looking forward, you could see the smoke and water outside the city over the city wall. There were several high hills in the northwest, with some green pines and cypresses on them. "What are you doing here?" Pei Ye asked, but Xu Chuo behind him did not answer him. He turned around and saw the woman holding the stove holding her skirt with one hand, looking down carefully, and stepping carefully into the footprints he left with every step.

"..."

She took the last few steps and jumped out with a satisfied smile on her face.

"...What are you doing?" Pei Ye smiled, feeling a little embarrassed for some reason, "Why are you stepping on my footprints?"

"This is a secret place. We can't leave too many traces, otherwise others will find us." Xu Chuo said seriously, pointing to the northwest for him, "Here, do you know what that is?"

She was pointing at the hills outside the city. Pei Ye was confused: "...What? A few mounds of earth?"

"They are the mausoleums of the Han Dynasty." Xu Chuo said, "There are five in total, namely the Changling Mausoleum of Emperor Gaozu, the Anling Mausoleum of Emperor Hui, the Yangling Mausoleum of Emperor Jing, the Maoling Mausoleum of Emperor Wu, and the Pingling Mausoleum of Emperor Zhao. They are the so-called 'Five Mausoleums'."

"……Well."

"This place overlooks the Five Tombs to the west, Wanshu to the east, the mountain wall to the south, and Qujiang River to the north. It is so remote and quiet that no one has ever discovered it. Do you know how difficult it is to find such a place in Chang'an?"

Pei Ye didn't know, but the woman's tone was indeed quite proud. She glanced at him slightly, and for a moment he imagined himself as a child holding up the toughest grass stem and proclaiming himself the Grand Marshal of Grass Fighting.

"Are you the first one to discover this place?" Pei Ye asked in surprise, but he had sharp eyes and had already noticed some small footprints at the edge that seemed to be buried under several layers of snow.

"Of course, I have the inscriptions as proof." Xu Chuo squatted down holding the heater, put the wine on the ground, picked up a piece of wood and scraped the stone wall a few times, sweeping away the remaining snow and old bumps, revealing a line of faint and crooked inscriptions - "The secret home of Sisi and Xixi".

There is also a signature below, which is "Suo Lin Fourteen Years".

"Xixi is me." Xu Chuo claimed.

Pei Ye was speechless for a moment, but the woman was satisfied. She sat down on the ground and pointed forward. There was a small mound of earth that grew into the mountain wall, and a small holly cypress tree grew there.

“Put Li Du’s head on it. I’ll bury Sister Si Si here.”

"..."

Pei Ye untied the cloth bag and placed the ugly head in front of the pine tree. Xu Chuo picked up a stone and smashed the mouth of the wine bottle, then poured the bottle of wine in front of the tree.

"This is a pretty good gift. I think she will agree to me bringing you here." Xu Chuo finished dripping the wine from the bottle and said to the tree, "Sister Si Si, this man is called Pei Ye. We boasted that we would find the best swordsman in the world to break the Haotian Theory. Now that the Haotian Theory has been broken, all we have to do next is wait for him to become the best swordsman in the world."

Pei Ye glared slightly.

Xu Chuo didn't seem to have anything to say. She smiled, remained silent for a while, and whispered, "Burn it."

Pei Ye was stunned for a moment, then he raised his hand and a flame popped out. The wine and the head suddenly caught fire. The flame rose in front of the woman like a golden lotus. The expanding hot wind hit her cheeks, and her hair and collar fluttered.
