Chapter 133 Old acquaintance
Actually, with Song Qiao around, Su Luo and the others had already realized that someone was approaching. They decided to wait and see what happened, so they didn't move and pretended not to know anything and continued to drink their soup.
The person stopped nearby and didn't approach. Instead, they stood at a distance and observed. Their gazes were so intense that they felt as if they could burn holes in the faces of the people who came.
Now, Su Luo and the others could no longer pretend they hadn't noticed. They all looked up and immediately saw the Wan Jian Sect members, and they were amused.
Wow, an old acquaintance! Aren't these disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect? Why are they all frozen like this?
Look at these people, they're so cold, tsk tsk, they look so pitiful... They're all shivering, their faces are pale, standing pitifully in the cold wind, even more pitiful than chicks getting soaked in the rain.
Feng Xiyue and Chu Wenqing exchanged a glance. They felt immense sympathy for the people of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, but at the same time, they couldn't help but feel fortunate.
Thanks to their good fortune in finding so many fire-flame peppers! And even more thanks to Su Luo's resourcefulness in thinking of making fish soup to warm them up! Otherwise, they wouldn't be in much better shape than these people!
Standing opposite, Ning Wanshuang stared intently at the four people, subconsciously biting her lower lip.
Why are these Lingxiao Sect members again?!
Last time they were struggling against the giant lizard, these guys just stood there leisurely watching, it was infuriating! Now they're almost frozen to death, and these guys are getting hot fish soup! Why?!
And those two handsome young men from the Lingxiao Sect, can't they see how pitifully cold she looks? Why are they still unmoved?! She's clearly the female lead! Why doesn't she get this kind of treatment?! This is unfair!
Su Luo noticed a rather unfriendly gaze from not far away, subconsciously looked over, and then narrowed her eyes slightly.
You know what, she and the female lead really have a connection; they've run into each other again...
However, this transmigrated female lead is so boring! All her expressions are written on her face, making it easy to tell what she's thinking. How can someone so superficial become the female lead? She's not even as good as the original female lead!
Ning Wanshuang was glaring indignantly at the person opposite her when she suddenly met Su Luo's gaze. Sensing the deep meaning in the girl's eyes, she inexplicably shivered and immediately looked away.
Although she didn't understand why she instinctively avoided it...
When Gu Changhuai saw Chu Wenqing and the others, the prepared speech he had prepared vanished, and he could only manage to squeeze out, "It's you guys..."
Who would have thought it was these few from the Lingxiao Sect cooking fish soup?! The Wanjian Sect already owed them a favor, and now they had to lower themselves and ask them for fish soup... This was just too...shameful! He couldn't bring himself to say it!
Feng Xiyue nodded in agreement, "Yes, what a coincidence."
Gu Changhuai was at a loss for words for a moment, because he was very conflicted.
He hesitated, wondering whether to turn around and leave with his junior brothers and sisters to save face for the sect, or to risk being ridiculed by the Lingxiao Sect and shamelessly ask these guys for some fish soup...
Seeing his senior brother remain silent with a stern face, Bai Xun had no choice but to step forward and speak first: "We... have met again... This is the second time we've encountered each other..."
There was no way around it, it was too cold, and my voice was trembling as I spoke.
Feng Xiyue warmed her hands with the bowl and smiled, "Yes, I didn't expect you to come to the Xuanbing Realm as well, and you just happened to run into us."
The Cloud Realm has five major regions, each vast and expansive, making it quite difficult to run into acquaintances. It's unexpected that these two sects would be so destined to meet; they encountered each other once in the Cloud Mist Valley, and then again just two days later.
Bai Xun told the truth, "Actually, we... suddenly smelled the fish soup and thought it was strange, so we came to check... but we didn't expect to see you all..."
The wind and the moon seemed to awaken a few people.
It turns out they found it by following the aroma of the fish soup!
Bai Xun then got to the point, his eyes fixed on the still steaming alchemy furnace, and asked, feigning ignorance, "What's cooking in this furnace... isn't... fish soup, is it?"
"Exactly. We're so cold, we were thinking of making fish soup to warm ourselves up."
After saying that, Feng Xiyue took a sip of fish soup and felt extremely comfortable.
"Yes, a bowl of fish soup on such a cold day is so warming! You would never guess that in this freezing weather, I'm not cold at all! I'm even sweating!"
Chu Wenqing kept talking, wiping his sweat as he spoke, and his smug look made the Wanjian Sect members' hands itch with envy.
Damn it! I really want to go up there and beat this guy up!
Du Nianfu couldn't stand Chu Wenqing's smugness and suddenly questioned, "Can a pill furnace... also be used... to cook fish soup? Is this... even drinkable?"
Chu Wenqing immediately objected, standing up abruptly. "What's wrong with a pill furnace? A pill furnace is actually a special kind of pot! Since a pill furnace can be used to refine pills, it can naturally be used to cook soup!"
"you!"
Du Nianfu was speechless after being rebuked, but Bai Xun smoothed things over, preventing the two from arguing.
Du Nianfu glared angrily at Chu Wenqing, then turned away and refused to look at him again.
Chu Wenqing rolled her eyes and sat down again to drink her soup.
Bai Xun gave an awkward laugh, "Hehe... I'm sorry, my junior sister... doesn't understand anything... and her temper isn't very good either..."
The smile on Feng Xiyue's face disappeared as soon as Du Nianfu questioned her. When she heard Bai Xun's words of reconciliation, she gave a perfunctory smile to show that she didn't care. But the next moment, she didn't even look at anyone else and went to drink her soup.
Bai Xun was immediately very embarrassed.
For a moment, no one spoke, and the atmosphere became somewhat oppressive. The members of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect were reluctant to leave, so they could only watch enviously as Su Luo and the others drank the fish soup.
The aroma of the fish soup was so irresistible that Bai Xun couldn't resist any longer after seeing them have another bowl. She quickly looked at Gu Changhuai and whispered, "Senior Brother, should we... have some more fish soup?"
Gu Changhuai glanced at the crowd behind him, his gaze sweeping over their eager faces, and finally nodded.
"You tell me."
Bai Xun nodded, then coughed lightly in the wind, stepped forward, and said, "Fellow Daoist Ning, I'm really... sorry. We were so cold, so it's understandable that we were a bit... agitated. Could you... share some fish soup with us? We can buy it with... spirit stones..."
Want to buy their fish soup?
Feng Xiyue and the other two subconsciously looked at Su Luo. Seeing Su Luo nod, Feng Xiyue said, "Okay!"
The members of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect immediately cheered with joy.
Bai Xun continued, "So, what's the price..."
Feng Xiyue glanced at Su Luo again, and seeing the girl hold up three fingers, she immediately understood and said, "Three mid-grade spirit stones for a bowl!"
Su Luo: ……
That's awkward. Could she say that when she held up three fingers, she meant three low-grade spirit stones?
"what?!"
"So expensive?!"
"Cough cough cough!!!"
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped, and then coughed from the chill.
Three mid-grade spirit stones could buy a low-level magic weapon! It's just a bowl of fish soup, yet it's so expensive!
Du Nianfu blurted out, "Are you robbing me?! How can it be so expensive?!"
"Huh? Three mid-grade spirit stones are expensive?" Feng Xiyue glanced at the fish soup in her bowl, unable to understand.
This fish soup is full of treasures. The Xuanbing fish itself is very precious, not to mention that it contains a large amount of Fire Cloud Pepper! The price of three mid-grade spirit stones was set by Su Luo. If it were her, she would have asked for at least one high-grade spirit stone!
Feng Xiyue truly couldn't understand, but her question sounded like a blatant mockery to the Wanjian Sect members, and their faces turned ugly in an instant.
The Lingxiao Sect must be mocking them for being poor!
