The Psychic Girl

The new rulers of Sanshou obtained a new regime in exchange for a large amount of spiritual mineral resources in the country, which led to the current declining Sanshou Kingdom.

They are now trying to unite with Xiliang to attack from both sides, in order to seize all kinds of resources in the border area between Dongli and Xiliang. Xiliang has been suppressed by Dongli since its defeat in the past, and it has only gained a chance to breathe at the cost of the life of a hostage. Naturally, they hope to strike a blow to Dongli.

However, due to the dark history of the three current rulers colluding with foreign races, and considering the lives of the hostages, they have been reluctant to agree.

"Once the war breaks out, if foreign races invade, it will be difficult for not only our country, but also the Southern Territories and the Northern Plains to stay out of it. We must gain the support of other countries as soon as possible."

This was the worst case scenario. Yan Xiu didn't even want to say it out loud, and the gloominess on his face grew even darker.

Once the war breaks out, who knows how many people will lose their lives in vain in this struggle for interests.

There is never a shortage of visitors in war, but there are always people who pay the bills.

“Got it. I will discuss this matter with the king personally… I don’t know how long I can hold on to his kingdom, and I have done my best as a friend to him.

How is the matter of asking you to pick up Mr. Fang going?"

Staring at the kneeling person in front of him, Yan Xiu leaned forward out of concern.

"Mr. Fang is currently in the Black Forest searching for eagle arrow bones needed for the ceremony. He asked me to tell you that the night of the waning moon in two months will be a good time for the ceremony. He will arrive before then. You just need to guard the offering and wait. Whether it will succeed or not will depend on God's will."

God willing?

Yan Xiu didn't like this word, but nodded anyway. Indeed, he had no choice and no way to retreat.

Yan Zini is indeed the best alchemist in Yanjiabao.

After his treatment, Qing Liu's body recovered in three days.

"Aren't you two hungry?"

Looking at Yan Zini who was concentrating on making various potions in the pharmacy, Xia Xi stretched his neck out of the window and shouted upwards.

"Are you hungry?"

Qing Liu looked down, took out the weed in his mouth, and shouted from the roof,

"I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry. Didn't you just eat some fruit, woman? I'm so annoyed!"

"Xi'er, I'm not hungry yet. If you are hungry, why don't you go eat first?"

Yan Zini looked up at Xia Xi beside the window, still reluctant to put down the bottles in his hands. He felt that he seemed to have found the key to increasing the spiritual energy value of the medicine.

"Oh my! Let's have lunch together. I'm so bored alone! I can't even enjoy my meal!"

"You never enjoy your meals. Winter is coming soon. I wonder if you won't be chopped into a ball by then!"

During the few days that Qing Liu was recuperating from his injuries, Xia Xi stayed by Zi Ni's side to help take care of him, and the relationship between the two became much softer.

Although quarrels are common, they are more like conversations between friends, and even the fists are weak and powerless.

"You you! I ate your food? How can I eat it!"

After arguing for a while, Yan Zini in the room slowly let out a sigh of relief and put down the medicine bottle. He didn't understand why the relationship between the two had improved, but he was still distressed?

It turns out that I should eat first and then study.

"The food the cook cooked today was just average. Did the fort change the cook?"

Yan Zini looked at her and nodded. "Don't you like it? Then I'll ask the previous chef to make it again."

"Master, don't listen to that stupid woman! How can he be ordinary? The new chef of Yanjiabao is a top-notch chef appointed by the king himself!"

"Imperial chef? Haha! I sympathize with your ignorance of never having tasted anything good... I can cook this dish better than him in a matter of minutes!"

Xia Xi raised her nostrils in dissatisfaction.

"Go ahead and blow!" The chopsticks in the hands of the two men tangled together, neither of them giving in.

"You don't believe it! Humph! Stop eating, all of you, stop eating!"

Xia Xi stacked up the plates of food on the table one by one and held them in her hands.

"Wait here! Don't move! I'll go make new ones for you!"

As she spoke, she trotted downstairs, leaving only Zi Ni and Qing Liu's two pairs of chopsticks suspended in the air facing the clean table.

They were not hungry at first but became very hungry. Xia Xi finally came with a big food box and placed it in front of them.

"You're finally here! If the master hadn't stopped me, I would have run to the kitchen to get food..."

Qing Liu looked so hungry that he had no strength left and lay listlessly on the table.

"Pumpkin baked spareribs, tomato fried lotus root, angelica mutton soup, pork liver and spinach porridge."

Xia Xi took out the dishes from the box and placed them on the table, listing them all and nodding with satisfaction.

One after another, beautifully presented dishes with rich aromas were presented in front of them. The fragrance was tempting and the colors whetted their appetite.

In her previous life, she had learned skills from chefs from all over the place!

Although I learned it initially for that unfaithful person...

"Here, try it. I haven't done it in a while."

She had secretly cooked a few times at the Ye family, but was later discovered by the housekeeper and reported to the lady.

Ye's mother said that this was beneath her status as a young lady, so she was forbidden to do it ever again.

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of pork ribs dipped in golden pumpkin pieces and handed it to Yan Zini's bowl.

Qing Liu couldn't wait to smell the aroma and picked up a few slices of sweetened lotus root with wooden chopsticks and put them in his mouth. After a few seconds, he started stuttering with excitement like a child who had eaten candy.

"It's so delicious! How did you make it? You actually have such a skill! Why didn't you make it earlier?!"

Xia Xi put down the chopsticks in her hand, patted Qing Liu's shoulder, and looked distressed.

"Alas! Your tongue and stomach have suffered along with you. Eat more. It will replenish your body."

Qing Liu later went to the kitchen to get some wine, and all the food on the table was eaten up.

Even Yan Zini, who usually didn't eat much, was very supportive and ate half an extra bowl of rice.

After eating and drinking, Qing Liu suddenly remembered something he had been thinking about before.

"Master, in a few days it will be the first day of December, when the Ghost Face Street in Tianshui City will open. Should we prepare for it?"

Yan Zini thought about it and nodded.

"It is indeed time to prepare. I have also refined the Spiritual Ascension Pill. I wonder what kind of spiritual flower seeds I will encounter this year."

The conversation left Xia Xi, who was sitting nearby, confused.

"What, Ghost Face Street? What is that place?"

Qing Liu looked at her excited expression and shook his head.

"It's no use asking. The fortress owner said that you can't leave Yanjia Fort."

Dongli Guimian Street is a trade fair held by a neutral organization that operates post stations in various countries. Mercenaries composed of very powerful practitioners are responsible for protecting the normal transactions in Guimian Street, and only a very small entrance fee is charged per person.

It is open only once a year, from midnight to 3 a.m., for only three hours.

By then, rare animals, precious treasures and ancient artifacts from all over Dongli will gather on Guimian Street, and even people from neighboring countries will be attracted to come treasure hunting.
