Fire Phoenix Burns the Sky: Ms. Heaven-defying Useless Material

Chapter 42

Chu Liyue said that she was homeless, and she wanted to thank Empress Shen for taking her in Kunde Palace, but it was just a polite way of saying it.In fact, she knew that since she had shown the special ability to use profound energy without the profound beads, she might not be able to leave Kunde Palace without giving Empress Shen some real benefits.So she didn't mention anything about leaving these two days.

Now that Shen Jian has confirmed that there is likely to be a blurred sky jade grass in the guarding mountain, and this kind of grass is also likely to be very effective for Huan Yunze's problem, so she can leave here to find the place where the big sun is hidden. This is the small secret realm of Zi Yao's true fire soul.

Before leaving, Empress Shen took out a gold medal engraved with the giant sword blood vine clan emblem and gave it to Chu Liyue, who could receive special treatment in various state capitals.

It was still the two court ladies who drove the Zhulun Cuigai Moyun car to the long pavilion thirty miles outside Shenjing City. Chu Liyue thanked them both, and one of them gave them some crystal coins. The enlarged black tiger flew into the distant sky.

In early winter, the sky was gloomy, with dark clouds covering most of the sky.

In the Qiyun Mountain in Duzhou, the trees that have lost most of their branches and leaves are shaking in the strong wind, as if they will be blown down by the wind at any time.The low whistling sound came from the forest, which made the scalp tense.

A group of four or five people hurriedly walked on the rugged mountain road. A middle-aged man in front of him looked up at the sky, turned his head and urged: "Hurry up, everyone, the heavy rain is coming soon! I remember there is a house on the side of the road, you can Dodge for a while."

When the group hurried around a corner and saw the dilapidated wooden house by the side of the road, big raindrops had already hit their heads.

Four or five people rushed over quickly, and the first young man who rushed over pushed open the remaining half of the wooden door with two ping-pong sounds and jumped into the wooden house.

However, his figure immediately froze, and he stood motionless at the door of the wooden house, causing the people behind to shout anxiously: "Jin Zhou, go in quickly, what are you doing at the door?"

The young man named Jinzhou was stunned, and cupped his hands towards the inside: "Girl, if you excuse me, can we come in to shelter from the rain?"

When the people behind saw the situation in the wooden house clearly, they immediately understood Jinzhou's actions.

It turned out that the wooden house was not very big, and there was already a young girl sitting by the firepit in the house.Under the reflection of the flames, the girl had sculpted eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and she was beautiful. There was a small black tiger lying on her lap. Looking at it at a glance, it made people feel bright in this gloomy sky.

The girl raised her eyes, with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "I'm not the owner of this place either, please do whatever you want."

A group of five men entered one by one, and the hunter's cabin, which was originally small, was packed to the brim.

After the girl said that sentence, she never talked to them again, but carefully turned the barbecue on the fire, and kept sprinkling seasonings upwards.

The barbecue was bright in color, and large drops of oil fell into the firepit, making a sizzling sound.

A particularly strong fragrance spread out, filling the entire wooden house and occupying everyone's nostrils.

The girl flipped through the barbecue again, took out a short dagger from her bosom, cut off the tenderest piece, and put it on the porcelain plate beside her.

Only then did everyone notice that although the girl was sitting on the ground, she was sitting on a gorgeous carpet.The rug looked soft and thick, and the colors and jacquards were not cheap at first glance.

The current middle-aged man was startled, and his eyes were a little more fiery.The girl didn't have any baggage at all, how did she carry such a big and thick carpet?Unless it is the treasure bag that is said to be able to accept the big with the small!
The little black tiger was not as long as the man's forearm. He raised his eyes to look at the five men standing in a daze on the other side of the firepit, then jumped off the girl's lap lightly, walked to the porcelain plate and bowed his head to eat the meat.

The middle-aged man turned his gaze back as if nothing had happened, swallowed subconsciously, and said in a somewhat dry voice: "Girl, can we borrow the firepit?"

The room is not big, and the firepit is right in the middle, and the space left can barely accommodate five or six people, and it would be impossible for them to light another fire.

The girl responded with a "yes", and raised the knife in her hand. The men didn't see it clearly at all, and the huge animal meat was neatly cut and landed on several plates on the carpet.

This hand shook the men who were staring at her soberly, and sat down by the firepit one by one awkwardly, took out their respective dry food from their bags and started to eat.

The middle-aged man boiled a pot of water with the kettle and clear water in the wooden house, and then smiled and said to the girl opposite: "Girl, drink some hot water."

The girl shook her head: "Thank you, I have it here." She lifted a water bag and patted it.

The middle-aged man was not discouraged. He motioned for Jinzhou to pour hot water for everyone, while continuing to talk to the girl: "What's your surname? This Qiyun Mountain is not a good place, especially the Qinglang Xing in front, and there is a Thunder Wolf inside." It is very dangerous to enter and exit."

The girl opened the water bag, and what came out was hot animal milk. Without raising her head, she said, "My surname is Chu." As for the hidden words behind her purpose, she didn't make any sense at all.

Heihu lowered his head and ate more than half of the barbecue before starting to drink his own animal milk.

Seeing that Heihu had finished eating, Chu Liyue held a short dagger and slowly finished the rest of the barbecue. After drinking some water, she neatly cleaned up the dishes on the carpet.

Seeing those oily dishes disappear into the girl's hands, the expressions of all the men changed.What does this mean?It means that the other party is either a fledgling noble lady with no common sense in the world, or she has never paid attention to them at all.

The middle-aged man just thought that the other party was unintentionally revealing treasures, but now he thinks that the other party may have nothing to fear.

Able to use treasure pouches, aged sixteen or seventeen, with exquisite clothes, few jewelry but not ordinary at first glance, elegant and calm gestures, such a girl is definitely from a famous family, and her cultivation has at least been condensed.

It's just that when such a noble lady goes out, she is usually greeted and surrounded by attendants, how could she appear alone in this desolate mountain forest?

Or—the middle-aged man couldn't help but change his face when he thought of the news that there were orcs haunting Qiyun Mountain.

I thought that they could bypass Qinglangxing, Feiyunxing and Baihuaxing, and sneak into where they wanted to go, but why did they encounter the beast race just after entering Qiyun Mountain less than a hundred miles away?
After suspecting that the other party was an orc, the middle-aged man looked at the girl with a bright and beautiful face, and felt chills all over his body no matter how he saw it.

How can the orcs that can transform into humans have to be hundreds of years old?After all, he must be at the level of a beast general or even a beast commander, right?Are the five of them opponents of each other?Is the other party waiting for them here intentionally or is it purely a chance encounter?It must be a chance encounter, right?If this is the case, they must not expose the other party's disguise, but pretend to be ignorant, and leave immediately when the rain stops, and they should still be able to save their lives.

The middle-aged man's mind was spinning rapidly, but there was no expression on his face.

At this moment, someone knocked lightly on the door that had just been closed, and a gentle female voice asked outside the door: "Is anyone there? The little girl passed by here, asking for a shelter from the rain."

Before the middle-aged man could speak, Jin Zhou, who was sitting by the door, got up and opened the door.

The woman outside the door was holding an oil-paper umbrella, but the wind and rain were heavy, and her body was inevitably wet a lot.Seeing someone open the door, she stepped inside, put away her umbrella, put the bamboo basket on her arm on the ground, turned around and closed the door, and saluted everyone in the room: "Thank you all."

The eyes of several men couldn't help but brighten up.

This woman was over twenty years old, her hair was combed up in a bun, she wore a few silver ornaments on her head, and she was also dressed in a plain white dress. Her features were picturesque and her expression was quiet. Just standing there made people feel pity.

Jin Zhou hurriedly gave way: "Little lady is wet, hurry up and roast by the fire, don't catch the wind and cold."

The woman showed a grateful smile, which made several men have an urge to care for her.

Looking around the scene in the wooden house, the woman asked softly: "Can I sit with this girl?"

The few men naturally had no objections, and stood up one by one to make way for the innermost passage.

The woman in plain skirt walked slowly, walking from the edge of the fire pond to Chu Liyue's side.She showed a friendly smile to Chu Liyue: "Girl, can I sit down?"

Chu Liyue glanced at her and said calmly, "Please go ahead."

Just as the woman in the plain skirt was about to sit on the carpet, Heihu, who was lying on Chu Liyue's lap, opened his eyes and growled at her.

The voice was not loud, it sounded like a kitten purring and coquettish, but the expression of the plain skirt woman couldn't help but change.

She took a step back and sat down on the ground one step away from the carpet.

The men were intimidated by Chu Liyue earlier, and they never dared to talk to her.Now seeing this woman in plain skirt being gentle and weak, they became active one by one, they exchanged glances with ambiguous smiles on their faces.

Chu Liyue sat on the side, holding Heihu with half-closed eyes, listening to their chats one after another.

Perhaps because of the two beautiful women sitting beside them, the men began to brag about their experiences intentionally or unintentionally, and even said a few words to the woman in the plain skirt from time to time, although the woman in the plain skirt was just "um", "yes", Such a brief answer of "yes" could not extinguish the fire in their hearts.

From their words, Chu Liyue heard that this was a small adventure group composed of five people. They usually traveled around, mainly looking for various secret places, finding all kinds of valuable things from them, and selling them to various merchants.If you come across any kind of exercise cheats or mysterious crystals, then you are well-developed.

Chu Liyue was a mercenary in her previous life, so she knew a lot about this small group of adventurers.This kind of team, on the surface, is a law-abiding adventurous team. When they go to places where no one knows, they may commit murder and robbery at any time.It is said to be an adventure and treasure hunt, but in fact, as long as it is profitable, I dare to do anything.

Since these people came to Qiyun Mountain, it was obvious that something here caught their attention.

【Qinghui, do you think they are also looking for the little secret realm you mentioned? 】

【Maybe.However, there are beast races in and out of Qiyun Mountain, as long as these people are found, they will die. 】 Qinghui said very indifferently.

[They should also know, but they still came, obviously there is something worth their risk. 】Chu Liyue knew why Qinghui was unhappy. Although the hotness, greed and even obscenity in the eyes of these men tried their best to conceal it, they couldn't hide from their keen perception.

[But they have been discovered. ] So they are dead.

Heihu lay on Chu Liyue's arm, his gaze coldly swept over the plain skirt woman.With a fishy smell all over, don't you know how to clean up the smell on yourself if you know how to wear human skin?
