Jun Mo Xie's actions were a bit too heavy. Gu Chen looked at the bruise on his forehead that was the size of a date, and his teeth started to itch in hatred.
"Damn you, Jun Mo. Do you dare to hit harder?" Staring at the mirror, she touched it with her hand and inhaled in pain. "In his heart, Jun Mo Xie regretted that he had accidentally hit his target too hard. He swore to himself that he had only lightly flicked his finger, but he had forgotten that he was not a mortal. Even a weak mortal would not be able to withstand a blow from him.
He grabbed his ear with both hands and stood pitifully in the corner. "My wife, I'm really sorry. I didn't do it on purpose!"
"It wasn't intentional?" Gu Chen Xi ran over and pointed at her forehead, her eyes filled with tears. "Normally, you look extremely weak, but your strength is quite high. I was just short of being hit by the bullet and ended up with a concussion!"
Jun Mo Xie didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he watched her try her best to restrain herself. He pulled her hand away and lightly blew on it, "Then I'll help my wife blow on it. Perhaps it won't hurt anymore!"
A faint smell of grass enveloped her. Gu Chenxi was dazed for a moment, her forehead was itching, and a strange feeling spread throughout her body. She couldn't help but shiver and push him away. Her face was red all the way to her neck as she said in panic, "It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore …" Then he rushed out the door.
Seeing how she was fleeing, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Who?" he said coldly, his eyes falling on the window.
The window slightly swayed, and a white light flashed in. With a strange tone, he said, "Humph, long time no see. You've been hanging around in the mortal world not bad!"
A ball of white light spread out and a ruddy old man could be seen standing on the ground. His forehead was slightly protruding, and in his hand was a peach hung from a wooden staff.
"So it's the Immortal Elder of Antarctica. Sorry for the trouble!" Jun Mo Xie smiled indifferently as he pulled up his robe and sat down on the opposite chair. He then poured himself a cup of cold tea and started eating.
He poured himself a cup of cold tea, took a sip, and then said with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes: "A few days ago, I was out wandering, Jun Mo Xie went to my house and asked for some Ganoderma Immortal Grasses, is this true?"
"Why ask when you already know!" Old Man Shou, you didn't come here today to denounce us, right? " Ye Zichen knocked on the table with his fingers. He already knew that Ye Zichen was coming, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
Pow! With a shaky voice, he complained, "You damned fox, you have lived for at least eighteen thousand years. How could you be so greedy and pluck all the spirit sesame grass on my mountain? That's fine, but you injured my red-crowned crane! "
"Heh heh, I thought you were Jade Emperor. You didn't see it well enough to drive you out of the Antarctic Mountain Range to seek refuge with me. Since that wasn't the case, he could just plant more of those flowers and plants. We've been friends for so many years, do you even need to blow your beard and glare at me? Your crane is really too insensible, actually attacking this sovereign from behind. If it wasn't for me showing mercy, I'm afraid that what you saw wasn't just a naked crane! "
"You, you, you …" The Antarctic Fairy was so angry that his teeth were itching. He loved to travel freely in all directions, which was why he subdued a crane to look at the Ganoderma Immortal Grass on the Antarctic Mountain for him. But now that Jun Mo Xie had made such a ruckus, the red-crowned crane refused to stay on the South Pole Mountain no matter what. It packed its bags and headed straight to the Big Dipper Sovereign's residence to take him as its mount. This was not a big deal, but it would not be so easy to find someone to watch the mountain. Furthermore, the Ganoderma Immortal Grass was not an ordinary plant and had to be raised for at least a hundred years. Thinking of how long he would have to stay on Antarctica, he couldn't sleep at all!
Jun Mo Xie could tell that he had gone a bit too far when he saw the Southern Heaven Immortal trembling in rage. Then he took a step back and said, "Don't be angry. Although that Immortal Crane is a auspicious bird, no matter how powerful he is, he is still a bird right? I'll personally help you catch a spirit beast in a few days. I guarantee that it will be stronger than that red-crowned crane. How about it?
"Hmph, at least you still have a conscience! If you just do one more thing, it will be a whole new story! " The Southern Ocean Immortal said. He had known Jun Mo for so long, but he was still able to grasp a bit of Jun Mo's personality.
"Speak!"
"It will take at least a hundred years to nurture a Ganoderma Immortal Grass. You have to accompany me until it grows!"
"A hundred years?" Jun Mo Xie frowned: "Old geezer, are you joking?"
"Do you think I look like I'm joking?" He moved his face closer to Jun Mo Xie, and said word by word while gritting his teeth, "You've already driven my crane to the Jun residence of the Northern Dipper Sovereign. I've lost all my face, so what's wrong with having you accompany me for a hundred years?"
"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you. Actually, I didn't take all of those Lingzhi. I took more than half of the Dragon Clan's Third Prince, Bai Mo. You should have let him accompany you, right?" Jun Mo suddenly realized something.
"Then forget it! Dragon Clan's Third Brother is not a good person, I do not want to have anything to do with him! " "The Southern Heaven Immortal shook his head like a rattle." Right, how's the condition of the Peacock Princess? Didn't you pick so many of my Ganoderma Immortal Grass just to treat her illness? "
Jun Mo Xie's expression turned cold. The image of Gu Chen baring his fangs and brandishing his claws flashed through his mind as he muttered, "I don't know …"
The Divine Master of the South Pole thought that he was too depressed because he couldn't cure Ling Susu's painful heart disease, so he patted his shoulder and comforted her, "The peacock race is of noble lineage, and is also the Bodhisattva of the Peacock King. I presume that they have their own ways. An old fox like you can be considered to be quite lucky. When you two get together, don't forget to treat me to a drink. My Lingzhi Immortal Grass can be considered a congratulatory gift! " He remembered that there was one more important thing that had to be done, so he quickly got up to take his leave.
He wanted to find Jun Mo Xie to settle his debt, but there was something much more important that needed to be done. In the Eastern Glazed World, there was an alchemist, Glazed Light like Buddha. He coincidentally sent a Glazed Bodhi down into the world, and the person who obtained it would have a Glazed Heart Aperture. When the Ancient Buddha mentioned this during the Spiritual Mountain Spiritual Conference, he was able to deduce that this person had already appeared. Demons were rampant in the lower realms. If he obtained the Glazed Mind's Nest, it would definitely cause chaos in the world. However, he could not take back the Heart's Nest before the time came, so he specially instructed him to give her a defensive treasure to help her survive this disaster. This time, he came to the lower realms for this matter.
He became an old beggar and squatted at the city gate, waiting. The hawkers on the street were calling out to him incessantly. He stared at them for a long time with all kinds of fruits and snacks in his sight. If he didn't have a mission, he would have rushed over to eat them!
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's been a few days since we last met. When did the lower realms become so bustling …" It's no wonder that Jun Mo Xie would stay in the mortal world; it's indeed much more fun than staying in the upper realms! " He sniffed with all his might, his eyes rolling around as he spoke.
"Steamed Bun, Steamed Bun, Soup Dumplings, Three Fresh Soup Dumplings!" With a mouthful of filling and thin skin, the deity smelled a glutton mouth and did not regret eating a mouthful! "Come buy, come buy. Fresh steamed buns that just came out of the oven …"
Not long later, the area in front of the stall was filled with people buying buns. The Immortal Master of Antarctica pouted as he muttered to himself, "This mortal really knows how to boast. What kind of deity sniffed a gluttonous mouth, no matter how delicious it is, would it be inferior to the Queen Mother's Peach of Immortality? The Jade Dew of Jade Lake?" Although he said that, when the person who bought the steamed bun hit him, his stomach actually started growling.
He gritted his teeth and did not move.
When the second person passed by, he still did not move, only a few beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
When the third person passed by, he suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the stall that sold buns: "Forget it, let's fill our stomachs first!"
His speed was fast, but someone was even faster.
"Boss, pack up and take the rest to the house of the Marquis!" A middle-aged butler said.
"Alright!"
He looked on helplessly as the boss put away the leftover steamed buns and quickly said, "Wait a moment!"
Before he could say anything, the people around him started to clamor.
"There must be a first come first serve for shopping. How are you going to cut the queue?"
"Yeah, yeah, we've been waiting for a long time, boss!"
"Humph, why are all you naughty people making a ruckus, so what if you cut in line? Our young master is the county magistrate's brother-in-law. If you keep yelling, do you believe we won't capture you into prison and make you want to eat buns? I think you guys want to eat prison food?" The butler's eyes were wide open, his face a purplish red, and his sleek beard quivering. He looked like a fox trying to bully another.
"Sigh, the world is going downhill. The human heart is not the same as it was in the past!" The Immortal Master of Antarctica couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that eating a bun wouldn't work.
"Stupid beggar, what did you say?" Housekeeper Hou grabbed his collar with one hand and was about to hit him in the face with the other.
The Antarctic Immortal was shocked. He had lived for tens of thousands of years but this was the first time someone had grabbed his collar. Could it be that he was going to lose his face here today? He was an old and respected deity, so naturally, he couldn't argue with these mortals. Originally, he wanted to push them away, but he was afraid that if he accidentally hit them too hard, it would be a crime to beat them to death. If he didn't do it, wouldn't it be a disgrace if his claw landed on her face? As he was hesitating, he heard a blood-curdling scream. Butler Hou was lying on the ground.
He looked up and saw a girl dressed in coarse clothes. Her eyes were like torches, filled with righteousness. She first helped herself to her feet before pushing him to the end of the line with the butler Hou in one hand. She said harshly, "You are not allowed to cut in line no matter who comes. If I see you cutting in line or bullying the weak, be careful, I will drag you to the officials!"
"Fine, fine you stinking girl, just you wait!" When had Butler Hou ever been at such a disadvantage? He let out a few harsh words and ran off with his tail between his legs.
"Miss, he is the butler of the young master Hou. Offending him will result in you entering the prison. You should hurry up and run for your life!" The commoners all began to urge him against it.
Gu Chen continued to maintain line, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't believe that this county magistrate will allow his brother-in-law to do whatever he wants, no?"
Everyone shook their heads and left after buying the steamed buns. The Immortal Elder of Antarctica also received a bun. However, he did not have any silver. Gu Chenxi had bought it for him. He wolfed down the steamed buns, not forgetting to grab onto Gu Chen Xi with one hand. As expected, the steamed buns were very fragrant, but he could not forget the important matter at hand.
"Little girl, looks like you are an outsider!" There's a saying you haven't heard, but it has nothing to do with you being arrogant or else you'll get yourself into trouble. That's not worth it! " The Antarctic Immortals sat on a stone block, crossed their legs, patted their stomachs and began to preach. As soon as this girl appeared, he could tell that she had the Glazed Mind's Heart on her body. Seeing that she was so quick-witted, if he could bring her back to the South Pole Mountain to be a little immortal child, then his trip here would not be in vain! A bun can make an immortal. She'll probably wake up smiling in her sleep.
"If I didn't cause trouble for myself, you wouldn't be eating a comfortable bun right now, but going to prison! "You're still so disrespectful at such a young age, it's one thing if you don't teach them well, but you're still trying to shake the morale of the troops here!" She had saved him, yet he was still speaking sarcastically. However, looking at how pitiful he was, she took out a few copper coins from her pocket and placed them in his hands, intending to leave. "I only have this much left. I'll give it all to you!" He was originally here to buy food, but it seemed that he could only starve today.
"Hey, I'm not a beggar!" The Southern Ocean Immortal said with his eyes wide open. If it weren't for the Alchemist Buddha, I wouldn't have used my staff to hit your head.
Gu Chen turned around. He raised his hand and smoothed his snow-white brows, then tilted his head with a smile. "That's right. You're richer than me right now!"
"Little girl, you finally met someone important. Come with me and I guarantee that you won't regret it!" The Southern Heaven Immortal said in a low voice. If you follow me up the Antarctic Mountain, you can avoid disasters and you can cultivate.
"Geezer, you're so old and you still want to kidnap and sell people?"
"You, what are you talking about!" The South Pole Immortal was so angry that his eyebrows were trembling. "I, I'm …"
"Alright, alright, I'm too lazy to care about you! Seeing that you can eat so much, I feel at ease. If not, where else can I find you a nursing home? " Gu Chen smiled as he patted the dust off his body. "Then I'll be leaving. Respecting the elderly and cherishing the young is a virtue, so there's no need to thank me!"
"Wait!" This old man does not have much to thank you for, so I will give you a treasure to defend yourself. He took out a whip and handed it to her.
Gu Chen looked down and saw that it was the handle of a white jade. The body of the whip was snow-white, and with a tug of both hands, it was extremely tough. He nodded and said, "It really is a good whip!"
The Immortal Elder of Antarctica had a complacent look on his face. "Of course, that's me …"
