She became a god

The willows by the lake are green, and steam rises from the table.

As Ye Qingzhou added slices of meat to the hot pot (a type of hot pot, named for the "gurgling" sound it makes when food is added to boiling water), he asked, "Why did you think of treating me to this?"

Liu Qing smiled and pushed the prepared dipping sauce in front of Ye Qingzhou, "I think you'll like it."

Ye Qingzhou smiled without saying a word, picked up a slice of cooked meat and tried it; the taste was not bad.

Why did you suddenly invite me to dinner?

As the saying goes, one doesn't visit a temple unless he has something to do.

As honored guests from all sides, medical practitioners are usually the ones who get invited to meals.

If a peerless medical genius were to offer a meal for the public good, it would usually be because he wanted to find good medicinal herbs. However, Ye Qingzhou didn't think he had any good medicinal herbs on him.

"Because of my own selfish reasons, I came here and felt it would be a good time to have dinner with you, so I'm inviting you to dinner."

Ye Qingzhou lowered his head and ate a few more bites of food.

Why doesn't this person play by the rules?

These words sound quite sincere at first glance.

There's definitely something fishy going on.

She looked up and chuckled, "The antique soup at the shop you found is indeed excellent; I really enjoyed it. Next time, I'll treat you to something delicious too."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qing replied earnestly, "I've got it."

When he's serious, his green eyes shine brightly.

Ye Qingzhou couldn't help but ask, "Your eyes are so beautiful, did you take them from your mother or your father?"

“You are the first fellow Daoist to ask me a direct question.”

Yo ho!

A direct question?

It seems that quite a few cultivators were gossiping about his eyes behind his back.

"These green eyes were given to me by my mother."

"Where is your mother now? I wonder if I might have the honor of visiting her?"

Liu Qing stared at Ye Qingzhou for a long time before saying, "She's dead."

"Ah?" Ye Qingzhou hurriedly clasped his hands in apology, "I was rude, please forgive me, fellow Daoist."

Putting herself in his shoes, Ye Qingzhou felt she would definitely be unhappy if someone said these words after her mother's passing.

I was just curious about the effect of green eyes on me, but I never expected to uncover someone else's painful secret. What a sin!

What if Liu Qing is lying?

It's not too late to hold people accountable after the lies are exposed. Ye Qingzhou is willing to show the utmost respect to the deceased, especially his mother.

"I don't blame you. Do you like my eyes?"

Ye Qingzhou thought for a moment and answered truthfully, "Green is a symbol of life, and I like it."

Liu Qing smiled.

This was the first time Ye Qingzhou had ever seen him laugh like that.

"I knew you would..."

Certainly what?

Ye Qingzhou was very curious, but Liu Qing didn't continue. Instead, she asked, "Are you really not selling the Ice Soul Sword?"

“How much can you give now?”

"Still the same price."

Trading 150,000 high-grade spirit stones for a piece of junk is a real bargain!

嗏

"Why are you so rich, why are you fighting so hard for the Ice Soul Sword?"

Liu Qing said, "I like it."

You can't buy what you like with money, so just like it. It's not like you're losing your own money.

Ye Qingzhou readily signed the transaction agreement with Liu Qing, and seeing the extra money in her account, she happily continued to eat her hot pot with dipping sauce.

"Are you selling the Ice Soul Pearl? Two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones."

Ye Qingzhou, her cheeks bulging with vegetables, shook her head. After chewing and swallowing, she replied, "Not for sale. It's so impressive to take out the Ice Soul Pearl and play with it. I want to keep it for myself."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qing did not insist.

The meal was enjoyed by both host and guests, but a single sentence from Liu Qing at parting sparked a strange thought in Ye Qingzhou.
