Chapter 198 Dark Cuisine
On the second day, Zhu Yan went to bed early after coming out of the blood pool.

Seeing his tired and uncomfortable look, Lin Susu wanted to wake him up to fulfill the agreement, but after thinking about it, she raised her hand to use the power of the formation to make him sleep deeper.

He thought that after a good sleep, he would be in a good mood, but unexpectedly the next morning, he opened his eyes and lay in bed in a daze for a long time.

Over the past few days, Zhu Yan fell asleep earlier and earlier. Seeing how sleepy he was, Lin Susu couldn't bear to disturb him, so she still helped him sleep deeper.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yan's mood became lower and lower, and his eyes became darker and more profound.

Fortunately, the masked boy came to see him every day. Even though Zhu Yan didn't pay much attention to him, it didn't stop the boy from reporting every day.

Every time the boy came, Lin Susu would avoid him.

This time was no exception. Lin Susu hid directly on the roof, lying down in the sun with her hands behind her head.

"You won't have to go to the blood pool in a few days."

The young man saw that Zhu Yan's body had no wounds at all, and the ends of his eyes were smeared with Gu lines like rouge. He knew that the Gu veins were almost complete and he would soon no longer have to suffer the pain of refining.

Zhu Yan's eyes flashed slightly, and she raised her eyes to look at him. Her childish face looked a little evil because of the red color.

"Why do you want me to go to the blood pool?"

The young man said, "When you were in the cold palace, you were refined by the saint using the human poison method. Once you give up halfway, you will definitely die."

"If you enter the blood pool, you may not necessarily die. If you don't enter the blood pool, you will definitely die. Master is doing this to save you."

Zhu Yan lowered his eyes and said nothing.

The young man continued, "In a few days, you can stay in the clan and practice Gu art like me. Your Gu veins are unique. If you learn it, you will get twice the result with half the effort."

Zhu Yan twisted his fingers into a ball, but his breath relaxed unconsciously.

In a few days, he will be able to live a normal life. There was a hint of longing in his lowered eyes.

The young man took out a pack of snacks from his arms and handed it to him, "For you."

Zhu Yan looked up, a little stunned, but still took it, with a hesitant tone, "Why... do you have to give something away every time?"

The young man said, "Gifts, you have to prepare gifts when you meet your friends."

Zhu Yan touched the paper bag and asked, "What will happen if we are not prepared?"

The boy said seriously, "My friends will be unhappy."

Zhu Yan was startled, and there was a sudden realization in his eyes that his confusion had been resolved. He put the paper package on the table and ran out.

The young man watched him go away, finding it difficult to understand his strange behavior.

He had never seen this reaction to receiving a gift, and he was unable to take the correct action based on past experience.

At night, Zhu Yan fell asleep early again. He held something tightly on his chest. He didn't sleep peacefully and occasionally muttered something.

Lin Susu leaned closer to listen, he was talking about Sister Fairy.

"..."

Lin Susu raised her head and thought she was a fairy. What a shame!

She raised her hand and touched his eyebrows, a ray of golden light shone on his forehead. This time she took the initiative to appear in front of him.

Zhu Yan's eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes. When he saw her standing beside the bed, his brows and eyes were smiling happily.

He stood up in a hurry, hurriedly handed the things in his arms to her, and said, "This is a gift for you, please don't be angry, okay?"

Lin Susu raised her eyebrows in surprise, thinking of his conversation with the boy today and his sudden strange behavior.

It turns out...he thought she was angry because she didn't receive the gift.

Lin Susu couldn't help laughing for a moment and reached out to take it.

She knew what it was, after all, she watched him ask the cook for advice on how to make snacks in the kitchen today.

Lin Susu opened the paper package and found a few pieces of white and tender glutinous rice snacks made into rabbits, with crushed red dates dotting the eyes.

She looked at the earnest-looking Zhu Yan in front of her, and felt soft in her heart.

"Not angry."

She raised the corners of her lips slightly and spoke in a soft tone.

Zhu Yan blushed and lowered his head, hiding his hands in the quilt and twisting them into a ball.

Lin Susu picked up the fat white snack and put it into her mouth to taste it. For a moment, her face became stagnant.

This unpleasant taste is so damn familiar...

She chewed it again without giving up. It was very good. It was confirmed that the person who tortured her with dark dishes in those past few days was Zhu Yan!

"Isn't it delicious?"

Zhu Yan observed her secretly and saw that her face was slightly stiff, and couldn't help but feel her heart beat.

Lin Susu coughed, swallowed the snack with difficulty, and smiled, "No, it's delicious." She put the snack back as she said it.

Zhu Yan, "..."

Lin Susu glanced at him who was in a depressed mood, and felt that what she had done was a bit obvious, so she hurriedly found some way to make up for it.

"But I can't eat too much mortal food!"

"what?"

Zhu Yan was surprised and immediately said nervously, "Then you just took a bite...will you..."

Lin Susu's conscience ached a little, "It's okay, I just took one bite."

Zhu Yan's face darkened, and he blamed himself, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect it."

"..."

My conscience hurts even more...

Lin Susu hurriedly picked up a piece of dim sum and changed the subject, "Is this your first time making dim sum? It's so beautiful."

Zhu Yan hummed.

Lin Susu continued to praise, "If I study for a while, I can open a store!"

"Let me think about it, how about the name of the store is Tian Xia No. 1?"

Zhu Yan was awkward and stunned like every child who is praised.

"Not that good."

he whispered shyly.

"There are some!"

Lin Susu affirmed while wrapping up the snacks and putting them away.

"You said... you will come find me when I can endure this period of time."

He looked at her carefully, with unconcealed anticipation in his eyes.

Lin Susu sat down by the bed with a smile on her face, "Yes."

Zhu Yan's joy was visible to the naked eye for a moment as he thought of Nan Yu's words today.

Soon... they will see each other soon.

Five days later.

Gu Ming led a group of tribesmen to wait outside the blood pool. As soon as Zhu Yan came out, he held back the tears that filled his eyes and patted him on the shoulder.

"Good boy, it's over, everything is over!"

Mrs. Jin hugged him and wiped her tears.

Zhu Yan looked up into the void, the gloom in his brows faded away. He raised his hand to hug Mrs. Jin and comforted her with a smile.

"Grandma, don't cry, I don't feel any pain."

Mrs. Jin immediately cried even harder.

"My poor grandson."

That night, the lights of the tribe were brightly lit, and Gu Ming held a banquet to celebrate. During the dinner, he repeatedly praised his perseverance and lamented that his future life was formidable, and he drank a few more drinks without knowing it.

When the banquet was over and everyone dispersed, Zhu Yan was walking back briskly when he suddenly saw a figure standing in front of him.

He was stunned for a moment, and when the figure came closer, he realized that it was Gu Yue, whom he hadn't seen for a while.

"Yan'er."

Gu Yue held his hand, looking guilty and loving, "It's my mother who can't forgive you and makes you suffer so much."

Zhu Yan had no expression on his face, lowered his head and said nothing.

Gu Yue sighed softly, hugged him, stroked his little head, and said quietly, "But mother did this just to let you have a complete family."

"Like an ordinary child, he has a father and a mother!"

She was talking to herself.

"Your father is dying now, and only the Jiang clan's most precious treasure, 'Heaven and Earth', can save him."

"He made an agreement with his mother to show us the play for his brother. When mother gets the 'Heaven and Earth Together', he will take us back to the palace..."

Zhu Yan's heart trembled, and he subconsciously wanted to break away from her arms, but his vision went black and he lost consciousness in an instant.
