Fairy, wait a minute

Chapter 24: Eat More

Jiang Lian has been practicing swordsmanship in the early morning these past few days, staying in the left hall of Pingshan during the day, studying the ferocious bones at night, and his time is fully scheduled.Wei Chen was more determined than Jiang Lian to sleep in the left hall of Pingshan and read all the books several days earlier than Jiang Lian.

Volume, too volume!
Before anyone else had even read half of the book, Jiang Lian and Wei Chen had already finished reading and left.These two people also brought a sense of crisis to the disciples in class. They quickly begged the master to speak faster and sat there without taking a break, just reading books.

Although this kind of life is tiring, it is already very good for Jiang Lian. There is no fear in Cangwu Forest day and night, he can eat enough every day, and most importantly, he can still practice.

When Jiang Lian came down from the second floor, he heard several disciples muttering about going to the fourth floor to pick up the mission.Due to his indulging in practice these days, Jiang Lian missed a lot of information.

"Mission?" Jiang Lian asked in confusion.

A disciple stopped and looked at her curiously, "Don't you know? The fourth floor is the mission hall. You can go down the mountain to hunt ferocious beasts in exchange for spirit stones. The elder sent a notice on the communication jade slip a few days ago."

"I really don't know about this, thank you for reminding me." Jiang Lian took out his communication slip, and sure enough, it contained the elder's news from the past few days.

At present, no one in Xuantian Sect except the elder leader and others knows that Jiang Lian has a single spiritual root. Firstly, Wei Chen is withdrawn and does not communicate with others. Secondly, Zhao Qianran and Zhao Yi have a grudge against Jiang Lian, let alone others. It is said that Jiang Lian is the single spiritual root genius.Jiang Lian would not tell anyone else. After going back and forth, everyone thought that the news that day was wrong, and soon transferred other gossip.

In the mission hall on the fourth floor, several disciples were rummaging for suitable missions, and Jiang Lian also stepped forward and looked ahead.

Six low-grade spiritual stones from the demon beast Greedy Snake in the late stage of Hulucun Qi training layer
Zhu Chengzhen’s mid-level Qi training stage: Three ferocious beasts, three iron-haired rats, three low-grade spiritual stones

……

Until the eyes scanned to the bottom, there were two bats and one low-grade spiritual stone in the early stage of the Qi training layer in Baozhi Village.

Jiang Lian handed the badge to the steward and said, "Mission No. 18, the bat at the early stage of Qi training in Baozhi Village."

She planned to practice this task first, and then take on more difficult tasks.

The steward glanced at Jiang Lian and visually determined that Jiang Lian was in the early stage of Qi training. He scratched his waist badge and handed it to Jiang Lian, "Here are the mission details. You can exchange the bat's head or other parts here for spiritual stones."

In the corner, Zhao Qianran's eyes flashed with a dark light, he picked up the jade communication slip and headed to nowhere.

Jiang Lian nodded and took the paper.It accurately states the location of Baozhi Village and the circumstances of the crime. The bat is murderous and murders ten villagers. Every day, it goes to the village to capture two girls for consumption.

Jiang Lian frowned, packed his luggage and hurried down the mountain. There was no room for delay in this situation.Baozhi Village is still some distance away from Xuantian Sect. Fortunately, the sect provides some low-level spirit horses for traveling disciples.Jiang Lian used his belt tag to draw away a spirit horse and sped towards Baozhi Village.

After running around non-stop for a day, Jiang Lian finally set in Baozhi Village when the sun was about to set.Baozhi Village is larger than Baode Village, and the old willows hang low at the entrance of the village.Below is a young man working the clock, with his head hanging down and his expression sad.

The sound of horse hooves was approaching, and the young man suddenly looked up and saw Jiang Lian walking in, dragging the spirit horse, dressed in white and looking like an immortal.

Jiang Lian showed the Xuantian Sect's badge and spoke twice before the young man came to his senses. He immediately knelt down to Jiang Lian and kowtowed three times.
There was blood on his forehead, and the spirit horse was so excited that it turned over its hooves.

"Please ask the immortal to save Baozhi Village!!!"

Jiang Lian had never seen such a battle before. He quickly helped the young man up and said, "Get up first and speak slowly."

... Arriving at the home of the village chief of Baozhi Village, many villagers gathered around and blocked the door. The village chief was an old man in his 60s, hunched over and using a cane. When he saw Jiang Lian, it was Xuantian. Zong's disciples immediately asked Jiang Lian to take a seat with trembling feet, and spoke with grief and anger,
"This bloodthirsty bat came to Baozhi Village a few days ago and went on a killing spree in Baozhi Village. He was so murderous that he asked an immortal to slay demons! Baozhi Village will definitely be very grateful to the immortal!"

"I understand the general situation. May I ask where this bloodthirsty bat is and what its characteristics are?" Jiang Lian estimated that this bat probably lives in the mountains.But Baozhi Village is surrounded by mountains, so it is very difficult to find it.

"I live in a cave in the back mountain. This bloodthirsty bat is even more powerful at night. The only monk in the village was killed there." The village chief's eyes were filled with tears when he mentioned the sadness.Then he said, "Immortal, why not rest here today? It will be safer to go up the mountain tomorrow."

The village chief looked at Jiang Lian's young age and was afraid that Jiang Lian would also be damaged.

Jiang Lian nodded, "That's fine."

A woman clasped her hands and said nervously, "It's better for the immortal to live in my house. I have a little girl at home who is about the same size as the immortal, so she can rest easily."

The village chief also nodded. Zhang had always been kind to his daughter, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation were the best in the village. It was the best choice for the immortal to live there.

Jiang Lian had no requirements for accommodation, and besides, she planned to go up the mountain tonight and just had a meal at the woman's house.

Mrs. Zhang led Jiang Lian to the house in the west of the village. A little girl looked at Jiang Lian nervously and timidly, "Immortal... Immortal, are you here to slay demons?"

This little girl is the same age as Jiang Lian. She is wearing a linen shirt and has a fair face. Although her appearance is not outstanding, she looks very pleasant.

Before Jiang Lian could speak, Mrs. Zhang quickly pulled Cui Niu over and smiled, "I'll make the immortal laugh. I'll go to the kitchen to cook. I also asked the immortal to wait in the back room for a while."

After saying that, Mrs. Zhang and Cui Niu immediately went to the kitchen to get busy. Jiang Lian didn't say anything when he saw this. He sat on a chair and took out his long sword and wiped it carefully, with a quiet look on his face.

Cui Niu poked her head in the kitchen to peek at Jiang Lian. Jiang Lian noticed that his eyes were looking towards the kitchen, and Cui Niu was so frightened that she immediately turned her head to work.

After dinner was ready, Mrs. Zhang brought three bowls of white rice. On the table were native chicken soup, fried meat with bamboo shoots, and fried eggs with vegetables.It looks very sumptuous, the dishes are bright in color and fragrant enough to make you want to eat.

These three bowls of white rice are the only remaining bits of polished rice left by Zhang. They were originally intended to be eaten during the Chinese New Year, but now they are all stewed.Zhang's husband died early, so it was not easy to hold Cui Niu alone.

Zhang and Cui Niu waited for Jiang Lian to use the chopsticks first, and Jiang Lian waited for the two of them to use the chopsticks first, but for a moment no one did it.Mrs. Zhang used another chopstick to pick up a large piece of chicken leg and put it into Jiang Lian's bowl. She said sheepishly: "This is a free-range chicken from my family. Everyone in the village says that this chicken is delicious. Please try it, Immortal."

Jiang Lian frowned slightly. He was not used to others picking up vegetables for him, but Zhang used serving chopsticks to pick up the chicken drumsticks for himself. The chicken drumsticks were placed in the bowl and he could not pick them back up.Jiang Lian had no choice but to pick up the chopsticks, divide the chicken leg in half, pick up one piece and put it into his mouth.

With a habitual glance, Jiang Lian caught a glimpse of Cui Niu's hand holding the chopsticks shaking uncontrollably as she put the green vegetables into her mouth.

Jiang Lian put the chicken legs in the bowl without changing his expression. When Mrs. Zhang saw it, she immediately asked anxiously, "Why doesn't the immortal eat it? Is this dish not to your liking? How about I make it again?"

Jiang Lian chuckled, very warmly, "The food is very good. I saw your daughter-in-law has been picking up vegetables and she is very thin, so I wanted to give my daughter-in-law a piece of chicken. You should eat more." Jiang said as he said Lian gave Cui Niu a chicken leg, and he didn't forget to give Zhang a piece as well.

Zhang's face suddenly turned pale. Jiang Lian smiled and said in a very gentle voice, "Why don't you eat? Do you dislike me for serving you food?"

The gentle and cold voice sounded to Zhang's ears like an evil ghost demanding life.
