"Before I get to the bottom of it, I can't jump to any rash conclusions." When Sheng Xiao suddenly sniffed something, he turned around and looked at the villa behind him as he asked Yu Huang, "Do you smell burnt meat?"
Yu Huang was stunned and exclaimed, "My soup!"
After she hurriedly ran back to the kitchen and opened the enamel pot, she saw that the soup in the pot had long been boiled dry, while the chicken was stuck to the bottom of the pot and had already been burned. She suddenly became irritable. "Damn, is it that difficult to drink a mouthful of soup?"
Yu Huang had been craving chicken soup since this morning. She thought about how Sheng Xiao liked it too, so she waited until nighttime to make this pot of soup, since she wanted to drink it with Sheng Xiao.
In the end, the soup was ruined.
Yu Huang threw down the spoon angrily and it made a loud clang.
She felt a lump in her throat for some reason and turned around to lean against the stove. With a vexed expression, she lamented, "If only my father was still here. His chicken soup was the best…" Yu Huang suddenly broke down.
Even adults could have mental breakdowns in an instant, not to mention a pregnant woman.
Sheng Xiao came over at this moment and felt upset when he heard Yu Huang mention Yu Donghai.
Sheng Xiao strode into the kitchen and hugged Yu Huang. Then, he pressed the back of her head with his finger as he comforted her gently, "It's okay. I'll make it for you again."
Yu Huang couldn't help but vent her anger on Sheng Xiao. "It's all your fault. Why did you have to drag me over there to sit when I was cooking?!" Yu Huang pointed at the burnt spirit chicken in the enamel pot and said aggrievedly, "I've been craving this for the entire day. Is it so difficult for me to eat something delicious?!"
Sheng Xiao was helpless when he saw Yu Huang lose her temper.
At that moment, Ye Qingyang happened to come downstairs to pour water and witnessed to see Yu Huang flare up. He saw that Sheng Xiao was a little confused, so he said, "It's normal for a pregnant woman to have hormornal imbalance in the early stages of pregnancy and be a little emotionally unstable. Besides, she's going to be pregnant for seven years. I think she's just losing control of her emotions because she's been hungry for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huang realized that she had lost her temper at Sheng Xiao.
Sheng Xiao realized that the pregnancy put huge pressure on Yu Huang.
Ye Qingyang walked into the kitchen and leaned against the central island. Then, he asked Yu Huang, "Did you not eat the Spirit Grass and Spirit Fruit we left for you?"
Yu Huang said, "One bite costs at least as much as a house, so I couldn't bear to." She had become as stingy as Lin Jiansheng.
Ye Qingyang patted Sheng Xiao's shoulder with a smile and teased him. "It's because you're too poor that your wife is saving money for you."
Sheng Xiao didn't refute Ye Qingyang's words.
He even agreed with Ye Qingyang.
"If I give you Spirit Grasses and Spirit Fruits, just eat them. I'll think of a way to get more Spirit Grasses and Spirit Fruits. I'll definitely raise our children into becoming smart and witty."
Yu Huang laughed again. "I'm fine. I was just influenced by my mentor. Besides, how can I not know what you're capable of? Do you, the Dragon Prince, lack this bit of money?"
Sheng Xiao seemed to have thought of something when he heard Yu Huang's words and he said, "If you didn't say it, I would have forgotten that Yu Aofeng once saved a large sum of dowry in order to marry you. It still hasn't been used yet." Sheng Xiao stared at Yu Huang's stomach and said, "It's time to take it out to raise the children."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyang raised his eyebrows and asked Sheng Xiao, "Are you really Yu Aofeng?" From Sheng Xiao's words, he clearly had Yu Aofeng's memories. When he thought about how Sheng Xiao successfully summoned the nine dragon phantoms that day and forced Prime Emperor Dongshen to apologize, Ye Qingyang finally believed that Sheng Xiao was Yu Aofeng.
Sheng Xiao nodded, but didn't explain anything else. He only said to Yu Huang, "Go out and rest for a while. I'll make you soup. I have to go on a long trip after dinner."
Yu Huang asked him, "Where are you going?"
Sheng Xiao revealed a shocking piece of information, "Go to the Demon Beast Continent to dig for treasures."
Yu Huang was shocked. "You want to go to the Demon Beast Continent?"
Ye Qingyang was shocked too and he asked Sheng Xiao, "You don't have a pass to the Demon Beast Continent, so you can't go to the Demon Beast Continent."
Sheng Xiao glanced at Ye Qingyang and said, "The Dragon Race can travel through space." However, the price was high. Sheng Xiao would definitely be injured if he went to the Demon Beast Continent.
When Yu Huang thought about how Sheng Xiao had traveled from the Demon Beast Continent to the Cang Lang Continent and was injured, she said, "No! I won't allow you to go to the Demon Beast Continent alone." Sheng Xiao couldn't be injured, but he had to get the treasure back.
Yu Huang suddenly looked out the window and stared at the universe above the deep sky of the inner academy as she said, "Don't forget that there are ready-made perfect mounts in the desolate place." What other transportation method was more convenient than riding a unicorn through different time spaces?
"A unicorn is a top-grade mount that is better at devouring space than even a Void Swallowing Beast." Yu Huang blinked at Sheng Xiao. "Why don't we catch a unicorn?"
Before Sheng Xiao could express his stance, Ye Qingyang rejected this suggestion. "Don't think about it. That's impossible." Ye Qingyang told them, "The unicorns don't take on masters. They have lived in the desolate place for generations and never stepped into the outside world. The reason they are willing to cooperate with the inner academy is that they were once helped by Prime Emperor Divine Miracle."
Ye Qingyang poured cold water on Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang, "What have you guys done for the unicorn?"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiao smiled mysteriously. "If there's no none, we'll find an opportunity."
As Yu Huang stared at the strange smile on Sheng Xiao's lips in a daze, she thought of something and said, "You mean Xiao Shu?"
Sheng Xiao flicked Yu Huang's glabella and praised, "Smart."
"Go out. I'm going to make soup now." Sheng Xiao chased Yu Huang and Ye Qingyang out of the kitchen.
As soon as they left the kitchen, Ye Qingyang asked Yu Huang, "Who is Xiao Shu?"
"The Seventh Elder of the Monster Sect."
"Huh? There's a Seventh Elder in the Monster Sect?" According to what Ye Qingyang knew, the Monster Sect only had six elders and one sect master. "Where's the Seventh Elder?"
"Demon Beast Continent."
"Then what's his relationship with the unicorns of the desolate place?"
Ye Qingyang suddenly became curious and kept asking questions one after another, making Yu Huang's head hurt.
Yu Huang reached out to stop Ye Qingyang from chattering and said, "In short, Xiao Shu is the overlord of the unicorns. You'll know the details in the future. Now, please be quiet." Yu Huang suddenly missed the gloomy and reticent Ye Qingyang when they first met.
Now, he was extremely talkative.
Ye Qingyang shook his head. Seeing that Yu Huang was about to clean up the rotten flesh and blood left on the ground by the Succubus Witch, he hurriedly stopped Yu Huang. "Don't, these are all treasures. My crow likes to eat these things the most." After saying that, Ye Qingyang whistled, and a pitch-black crow flew in from outside the window.
After the crow rubbed its head against Ye Qingyang, it landed on the ground and ate the rotten meat on the ground in a few bites.
Yu Huang watched with an impassive expression, then she simply covered the crow with a wet tissue and said angrily, "Wipe the ground clean."
The crow shook off the wet tissue and looked up at Ye Qingyang innocently.
Ye Qingyang looked at Yu Huang and then at his beloved duck. Then, he squatted on the ground and wiped the ground without complaint. As the three of them did their own things, they seemed extremely harmonious, like a family.
.
After dinner with Yu Huang, Sheng Xiao went to the kitchen again. He opened the cupboard and asked Yu Huang, "How much can a Succubus Witch eat?"
When she thought of the Succubus Witch's appetite, Yu Huang's expression darkened. "It has a huge appetite. It can finish a large pot of noodles and stew noodles with half a pot of hooves in a few bites."
After Sheng Xiao looked at the eight-inch rice bowl in his hand, he quickly put down the bowl and took another basin. Then, he put all the food and rice he had saved in advance into the basin and added a pair of chopsticks. "Are you coming with me?" Sheng Xiao asked Yu Huang.
Yu Huang shook her head. "If you're at home, you can go. If you're not at home, I'll go."
If Sheng Xiao saw the way the Succubus Witch ate later, his heart would ache and he might cry again, so Yu Huang was being considerate and gentle by not accompanying Sheng Xiao to send food to the Succubus Witch.
Sheng Xiao nodded and carried the basin of rice to the backyard.
Ye Qingyang asked Yu Huang, "Is that Succubus Witch really his grandfather?"
"Yes."
Ye Qingyang suddenly said, "Yu Huang, have you thought about it? The reason that the Demon Suppressing Eagle appeared in the body of the Succubus Witch is actually that the Succubus Witch is…"
Yu Huang interrupted Ye Qingyang and said, "The Succubus Witch is the demon that was suppressed by Prime Emperor Jiuxiao 170 years ago. Is this what you want to say?"
