Chapter 2359: A Celestial Consort
Flowers were meant to bloom in different seasons, so how could so many kinds of flowers, all crowded inside the fences, bloom together like that, without regard for the current season? Even at first glance, it looked wrong.
Yi Liang stood at the door and stared at the flowers within the fences. The door creaked open, and Hong Ji stood at the door. She was dressed in a white dress with lotus flowers painted on it. It was an extremely beautiful sight.
She was indeed a picturesque, captivating beauty.
Yi Liang glanced at her, then quickly retracted his gaze.
“Little boy, you’re awake?” Hong Ji turned around and walked towards Yi Liang. With every step she took, it seemed like a lotus flower bloomed. It was so beautiful to watch.
Ning Shu came out of the room and stood in front of Yi Liang, between him and Hong Ji.
Hong Ji was thus forced to stop in her tracks. She glanced at Ning Shu, and then said to Yi Liang, “I’m going to make breakfast, what do you want to eat?”
“I’m simply a guest. That’s up to the host,” Yi Liang said politely, his ears turning red as he spoke.
Yi Liang used to be alone all the time, so he wasn’t good at communicating with people.
Now that he was talking to a celestial consort-like woman, he was nervous and shy. He was even sweating like he was being pricked by needles.
Hong Ji smiled gently and turned to go to the kitchen.
Ning Shu followed behind Hong Ji and entered the kitchen. How were Hong Ji’s white, complicated clothes even remotely suitable to be used for cooking?
Hong Ji lit a fire with a flame stick, then cooked without paying Ning Shu any mind.
Ning Shu narrowed her eyes as soon as she saw the flame stick. She had to figure out how to get her hands on one of those. Otherwise, while they were on the run, neither she nor Yi Liang would be able to eat.
They couldn’t eat before all because there was no flame stick.
Hong Ji made meat porridge. Its smell alone could make people salivate before they even had a bite.
Hong Ji served Yi Liang a bowl of meat porridge, and Yi Liang hurriedly took it. “Thank you.”
As Yi Liang ate the porridge, Hong Ji stared at him. Because of this, Yi Liang blushed and said loudly, “You should eat some too.”
“It’s fine, don’t worry about it,” Hong Ji lightly replied.
Hong Ji then glanced at Ning Shu. “Is this your pet?”
She smiled slightly and asked Yi Liang, “Has this fox always been by your side?”
Yi Liang nodded. “Xiao Hei has always been by my side. She’s been very kind to me and has also saved me several times.”
Ning Shu was a little puzzled. Why did the topic suddenly turn to her?
When she saw the inexplicable smile on Hong Ji’s face, Ning Shu knew that there couldn’t be good intentions behind it.
Ning Shu was really speechless. She’d met all kinds of people here. After finally breaking free from the Yi clan, they ran into cultivators.
Now they had encountered the mysterious Hong Ji too. The only thing that was certain was that she was no ordinary person.
“Then, do you know something?” The corners of Hong Ji’s mouth hooked up. As she spoke, her cherry lips moved slightly, revealing her white teeth.
Yi Liang, as a child, was naturally curious. He asked, “What?”
Hong Ji glanced at Ning Shu, propped up her chin, and said lazily, “Unlike human cultivators, it’s very difficult for monsters to cultivate enough power to transform into a human form.
“However, the foxes of the spirit fox clan could transform into a human form by eating human hearts.”
