Miler, who has a system for giving up

Chapter 239 Seisaku of the Rest House

Just then, Brother Yu Xi and Long Jin Yuan slowly walked towards them.

Each of them held a plate steadily in their hands, filled with skewered deer meat that Ye Dongjun and Qin Yimeng had carefully grilled.

With a smile on his face, Brother Yu Xi said softly, "Dong Jun specifically instructed that you should all have a good taste of his cooking! And the dish in Jin Yuan's hand is made by Yi Meng."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them gently placed plates filled with delicious grilled deer meat skewers on the table in front of us.

In an instant, a rich aroma wafted over, stimulating our olfactory nerves once again.

I couldn't help but take a deep breath and exclaim, "Hmm, it smells amazing! Come on, everyone, come and try it!"

Everyone readily agreed to my suggestion, picked up their chopsticks, and prepared to feast.

However, when Yan Luo picked up a skewer of meat grilled by Ye Dongjun and put it in her mouth to chew, she suddenly exclaimed, "Ouch—it's so spicy! None of the ones we ate earlier had chili peppers on them. When did Dongjun get his hands on chili peppers?"

She fanned herself with her hand, trying to relieve the burning sensation in her mouth, while staring wide-eyed at Ye Dongjun, her face full of surprise and confusion.

"Wow!" A gasp of surprise rang out; it was Old Jiang's exclamation.

As he ate heartily, he mumbled indistinctly, "Oh dear, it's been so long since I've tasted chili peppers from the human world! Compared to that, the so-called spiciness of our immortal realm is utterly bland!"

After saying that, he smacked his lips with lingering satisfaction, seemingly still immersed in the wonderful taste sensation he had just experienced.

After a brief pause, Old Man Jiang turned his gaze to Le Yatou beside him and said expectantly, "Le Yatou, you'll have to do your teacher a favor later and ask that Dong Jun brat for some chili seasoning. This old man really misses that unique flavor!"

As he spoke, he quickly devoured a skewer of deer meat in his hand, and then eagerly picked up a second skewer, stuffing it into his mouth like a whirlwind.

Seeing her master wolfing down his food, Le Yatou couldn't help but laugh and advise, "Alright, alright, Master, please eat slowly, don't choke. No one here will take it from you! I'll go find Brother Dongjun later to get you some seasoning."

However, Old Man Jiang didn't care about any of that at the moment. His mouth never stopped, and just as he was about to finish the second skewer, he had already grabbed the third one.

Just as I nodded in agreement to Old Man Jiang's request, Ye Dongjun walked over with a smile on his face.

He said loudly, "Old Jiang, these are all for you! I never expected you to love spicy food so much."

As he spoke, he reached out and handed over a small package containing a small packet of bright red chili seasoning that emitted an enticing aroma.

Upon seeing this, Old Man Jiang quickly reached out and took it, his face beaming with a childlike smile, his mouth stretched so wide it was almost impossible to close.

At this moment, Long Jinyuan, who had been silently enjoying the delicious meat skewers Qin Yimeng had grilled, suddenly looked up, her eyes revealing a hint of curiosity and surprise.

She gently put down the bamboo skewer in her hand and said slowly, "Yimeng, your meat skewers are really unique. They seem to contain a special aroma that can't be made with ordinary spices."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yimeng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.

She replied softly, "Hehe, this is actually a unique spice blend that I figured out on my own when I was still in the human realm. Today, I happened to see Dongjun sprinkling chili seasoning on the meat skewers, which reminded me that after I made this spice blend, I was so busy that I never had a chance to share it with everyone. Fortunately, we are enjoying this barbecue feast together today, so I thought I would take this opportunity to let everyone taste this novel flavor."

Everyone curiously sampled the deer meat skewers grilled by Ye Dongjun and Qin Yimeng.

Just then, Brother Yu Xi, who had been silent all along, suddenly broke the silence. He slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on me, and asked softly, "Lele, do you know how much time has passed in the outside world?"

After hearing Brother Yu Xi's question, I thought for a moment and then nodded in response: "Yes, Brother Yu Xi, of course I know that! The flow of time in this medicine field space we are in is three times faster than outside! Based on this, those people in the Immortal Jade Palace outside must have left a long time ago!"

And so, Brother Yu Xi looked at everyone and made his suggestion with a firm look in his eyes: "In that case, why don't you take me out with you, while the rest of you can stay in Lele's herb field space and wait for news."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to me, as if expecting my response.

Just then, Long Jinyuan strode forward and said firmly, "No! I'm going with you."

Her expression was very serious, as if this matter was of utmost importance to her.

However, when faced with their requests, I shook my head without hesitation and resolutely refused, saying, "No, no one is allowed to go out with me. It's safer for me to go alone, and I won't attract too much attention."

After saying this, I looked around and saw that everyone's faces showed more or less worry, but they still did not change their minds.

At this moment, Han Heng, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Lele is right. It is indeed not advisable for many people to go together on this mission. Let Lele go to find His Highness the God King alone. I believe she will be able to complete the mission successfully and return safely."

Hearing that Han Heng supported my decision, I felt a surge of warmth in my heart.

Seeing this, Old Man Jiang slowly walked to my side, gently placed a jade slip used to communicate with His Highness the God King in my palm, and patiently explained to me how to use the jade slip to send messages and receive replies.

He then began to instruct, "Child, simply hold what you want to say tightly in your hand and convey it to the jade slip through your inner thoughts. It will naturally transmit your thoughts to His Highness the God-King. Once His Highness replies, the jade slip will begin to flicker and vibrate slightly. At that time, simply hold it tightly in your palm again, and you will hear the voice. If the surrounding environment is not conducive to making a sound, you can also use your divine sense to gently touch the jade slip, and you can still read the information contained within. Remember these key points, and do not make any mistakes!"

After listening to my master's detailed explanation, I nodded repeatedly, and I already understood the specific operating steps.

Immediately afterwards, I took a deep breath, and then my figure flashed, instantly traversing out of that vast and boundless medicinal field space and returning to that ancient Shen Mansion.

As soon as I appeared, my eyes keenly caught the shocking signs of fighting on the ground around me.

Based on my familiarity with His Highness the God-King's unique aura, I immediately determined that these marks of fierce confrontation were indeed his handiwork.

Clearly, His Highness the God-King had already visited this place.

However, as I carefully observed the direction and location of these signs of fighting, I couldn't help but think to myself: it seems that everyone from the Immortal Jade Palace has been expelled from the country by His Highness the God King.

Filled with suspicion, I slowly walked towards the door.

Just then, an astonishing discovery shocked me—it turned out that even the plaque hanging high above the main gate, representing the majesty of the Jiang family, still bore traces of the magic cast by His Highness the Divine King!

Thinking that there might still be remnants of the Immortal Jade Palace lurking here, I dared not be careless. I immediately turned around and went back into the mansion, carefully closing the gate tightly.

After doing all this, I calmed myself down, quickly formed hand seals, and chanted incantations, casting an exquisite appearance-altering spell on myself.

In the blink of an eye, my appearance underwent a dramatic transformation, and I became the same divine general whose splendor I had once been fortunate enough to witness.

Once I was certain that my disguise was flawless, I unhesitatingly mobilized the powerful divine energy within me, and my figure sped toward the back door like a ghost.

When my feet touched the ground firmly, I was surprised to find myself in a bustling and lively fairy market.

Just as I looked around and caught my breath, the mysterious jade slip I had been clutching in my hand suddenly trembled slightly...

The surrounding area was packed with people, with immortals from all walks of life jostling shoulder to shoulder in a continuous stream.

They were dressed in magnificent robes, their bodies shimmering with spiritual light; some rode on auspicious clouds, ethereal and otherworldly; others rode magical treasures, rushing past.

My attire is completely out of place with the atmosphere here, and it's really inappropriate for me to stroll around here leisurely.

Just then, my gaze inadvertently fell on a building next to me.

It was a place similar to a hotel in the human world, but also different.

It exudes a faint ethereal aura, and above the lintel hangs a plaque with the two large characters "Qi Guan" (Resting Hall).

This must have been a place for immortals to rest.

Sure enough, as I approached, I saw a celestial being dressed in green standing at the entrance.

He greeted each immortal who came to stay with a smile, and accepted crystal-clear spirit stones from their hands as a reward, before warmly guiding the guests inside.

I slowly walked up to the immortal in green robes, deliberately lowering my originally clear voice and making it sound deep and hoarse: "Excuse me... are there any rooms left? I've traveled a long way and am exhausted. I urgently need to find a place to rest for a while."

The immortal in blue robes was slightly taken aback at first, then his face lit up with surprise and delight. He quickly bowed and said, "General Dongfang, it really is you! When I saw you from afar at the entrance just now, I thought I was seeing things! I wonder what brings you here today? Could it be that the divine realm has issued some important order to our immortal realm? Oh dear, look at my memory, you already mentioned it. Yes, yes, please follow me this way."

I nodded slightly and casually asked, "What's your name?"

The immortal quickly replied, "Reporting to General Dongfang, my name is Qing Si. If the general does not mind, you may call me Xiao Qing."

After saying that, he respectfully led the way, guiding me toward the top of the pavilion.

Along the way, the exquisite decorations and strange murals on both sides of the corridor caught my eye frequently, but given my current identity, I couldn't show too much curiosity.

Before long, we arrived at the top floor of the building.

Qing Si stopped, reached out and pushed open a magnificent door, stepped aside to let me in, and said, "General Dongfang, this is the most comfortable and luxurious room here. I hope it suits your taste. Please rest here and feel free to ask me if you need anything."

My divine sense drifted into a spatial ring specifically for storing spirit stones. Before me were a dazzling array of spirit stones, and I couldn't help but chuckle to myself: How could these ordinary items be worthy of the identity I have now transformed into?

So, without hesitation, I selected the most dazzling one from among the many spirit stones. It radiated a brilliant light, as if it contained endless spiritual power.

With a smile on my face, I generously handed the top-grade spirit stone to Qing Si.

Aoshi's eyes widened, his face filled with astonishment. He was clearly taken aback by this unexpectedly generous gift.

He hurriedly waved his hand, saying repeatedly, "It is an honor for us that you have graced our humble establishment with your presence! We dare not accept such precious spirit stones."

However, I remained unmoved and insisted on stuffing the spirit stone into his hand, deliberately putting on a stern face and coldly saying, "If you refuse to accept it, I will immediately turn around and leave for another restaurant."

As I was speaking, I made a gesture as if I were about to step downstairs.

Upon seeing this, Qing Si panicked, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

He hurriedly took the spirit stone, bowing and scraping as he thanked him, saying, "Then...then I will respectfully accept your gift. Thank you for the reward, General Dongfang! Please rest for a while, and I will go and prepare some delicious food for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed off to the kitchen as if he were on grease, as if being even a second slower would be disrespectful and disrespectful to me, his distinguished guest.

I walked into the room at a leisurely pace, and after gently closing the door, I immediately focused my gaze on the jade slip in my hand that was constantly flashing and vibrating slightly.

I took a deep breath, concentrated, and carefully extended my divine sense to gently touch the jade slip.

In an instant, a deep and majestic voice, like a thunderclap, entered my mind—"Come to Tianheng Mountain immediately to meet us!"
