~9 min read 1,648 words

"Madam, to go to the Star-Picking Hall, you have to take that iron bridge. We can go directly from the Council Hall. Please follow me!"

Han Yue led Li Ying Xuan Ling into the main building, went to the top floor, and went directly into the Council Hall.

With the shock brought by the Star-Picking Hall, Li Ying Xuan Ling had no big reaction when seeing the Council Hall again. Soon, he followed Han Yue and the others through the main hall, got on the iron bridge at the back, and walked toward the Star-Picking Hall.

"Why didn't they follow?"

Walking to the porch of the main hall, Li Ying Xuan Ling found that Xiao Ning and Xiao Yu behind him were gone, and asked curiously.

"Madam, in the entire camp, except for us fifteen attendants, only you and the Secretary have the qualifications to enter the Star-Picking Hall. Others, unless summoned by the Lord, cannot enter."

Li Ying Xuan Ling nodded, continued to follow Han Yue, and walked along the porch to a room directly behind the Star-Picking Hall.

After entering the room, a complex look suddenly appeared on Li Ying Xuan Ling's face.

It wasn't that this room was very luxurious. Of course, the dazzling array of accessories and Xia clothes in the room did indeed open his eyes, but this was not enough to make him show such a reaction.

The key was that the layout of this room was exactly the same as his boudoir in Longshan, and even the items brought over were placed exactly as they were.

"These... were all arranged by him?"

Han Yue nodded first, then covered his mouth and laughed: "It was all personally ordered by the Lord. This is the first time Han Yue has seen the Lord so attentive. Madam will truly be blessed in the future."

Hearing this, Li Ying Xuan Ling was silent for a moment. He looked around the room, his eyes stayed on the weapon rack by the west window, and his expression was stunned again.

A silver long sword was placed at the very top of the rack, which was his Tianhua Sword.

He led people to ambush Xia Hong that day and failed, so his weapon was naturally confiscated.

During this period in Longshan, he wanted to ask Xia Hong for it several times, but every time the words reached his lips, he held them back. He didn't expect Xia Hong to return it to him directly.

"By the way, Madam, please look. This was specifically asked by the Lord to be given to you."

Han Yue suddenly remembered something, opened the wardrobe in the room, took out a white palace dress from inside, unfolded it, and handed it to Li Ying Xuan Ling.

The clothes felt as light as nothing in his hand. After unfolding, the white fine velvet on it seemed to be able to glow, with great texture. What was even more magical was that under the illumination of the firelight in the room, the original white gradually turned into a crystal-clear blood jade color.

"What a magical dress."

"This dress, so beautiful."

"This dress, too pretty!"

"No wonder the Lord named it 'Red Gauze Reflecting Snow', so that's how it is."

"Too good-looking, this dress must be very precious."

Han Yue and a group of attendants clearly didn't know the characteristics of this dress either. Seeing the changes in the dress, they immediately let out continuous exclamations, their eyes full of envy.

Han Yue and the others didn't know, but Li Ying Xuan Ling recognized it at a glance. The material of this palace dress was the fur of the blood jade fox. The key was that one blood jade fox could produce at most twenty centimeters of fur. This set of palace dress needed at least ten blood jade foxes to be made.

He looked down at the beautiful palace dress in his hand. An unprecedented strange feeling rushed up from the bottom of his heart, and the complexity in the depths of his eyes gradually evolved into entanglement.

"Red Gauze Reflecting Snow, he named it personally..."

"Madam just came from Longshan, surely hasn't had time to eat yet. We have already prepared it, you eat dinner first!"

Han Yue stood behind Li Ying Xuan Ling and naturally couldn't notice his expression. Remembering that he hadn't eaten yet, he hurriedly signaled other attendants to prepare dinner.

Li Ying Xuan Ling put away the entanglement, quickly restored his expression to normal, noticed that Han Yue said dinner, and remembered that when he entered the city just now, he saw that every household on both sides of the street was also preparing to eat, and asked curiously: "What does dinner mean?"

Han Yue smiled and explained: "Dinner is the last meal of the day. Great Xia now has three meals a day, which are morning meal, noon meal, and evening meal."

Li Ying Xuan Ling turned his head to look at the moonlight outside the window, roughly inferred that it was now the third hour of the second half of the night, and immediately knew the time of the three meals.

"Noon meal is the fourth hour after entering the night?"

Han Yue nodded. It happened that the attendants brought the plates in at this time.

Those plates hadn't been uncovered yet, but an incomparably alluring fragrance had already wafted out from inside, making Li Ying Xuan Ling couldn't help but turn his head to look over.

He walked to the table and sat down, watching Han Yue open the first plate.

"This dish is snow bamboo shoots stir-fried with mane meat. These snow bamboo shoots are the most precious snow bamboo tender shoots from the arrow bamboo forest side, and the mane meat also uses the most delicious piece from the back neck of the medium-level snow mane. Madam, you try it and see if you like it."

Li Ying Xuan Ling hadn't eaten good things before. He had even eaten high-level beast meat, not to mention the two ingredients Han Yue mentioned, he knew them and had eaten them. But why hadn't he smelled such a rich fragrance before?

He picked up the iron chopsticks handed by Han Yue, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, and his expression instantly changed.

"This... this taste, why is it so delicious?"

He suddenly remembered something and asked: "Is it salt? It's salt, right?"

Han Yue didn't understand at first, then thought that Li Ying Xuan Ling had just come to Great Xia, and immediately nodded and explained: "That's right, Madam, the food eaten by the Lord and you all have refined salt added."

For the previous two months in Longshan, he had heard rumors about salt, but after all, he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and hadn't tasted it himself, so he didn't take it seriously.

Tasting it personally at this moment, he knew how magical this thing was.

It wasn't just the taste; the body felt very comfortable after eating, and it had a very obvious dredging effect on the blood qi and meridians in the body, which meant that eating this could increase the cultivation speed.

Blue saliva braised white bear palm, Chen fruit roasted lamb chops, crystal branch stewed Kui ribs, fragrant cold fruit painted tiger soup. After tasting the next four dishes, Li Ying Xuan Ling's mouth was never empty again. Finally, it was Han Yue who took the initiative to pour a cup of blood cold wine, which pulled his attention back from the dishes.

Li Ying Xuan Ling picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. His face instantly turned red, and a sense of dizziness surged into his mind. He closed his eyes, savored it for a full ten breaths, and then slowly opened his eyes, his face full of excitement and agitation.

This wine, it was fine that it tasted so good, but it could actually increase cultivation?

"This is blood cold wine. The Lord specifically asked me to prepare five jin for the Madam. If the Madam wants to drink it in the future, I will take it at any time."

Throughout this dinner, the psychological shock Li Ying Xuan Ling received was no less than when he just saw the scene of Xia City.

Until Han Yue and the others packed everything up and were ready to leave, he still hadn't reacted.

"Madam, Han Yue still needs to serve by the leader's side. Han Shuang, Nong Ying, Qiu Ru, Ming Yue, and Hua Ling, these five people will be specifically responsible for serving you in the future. Han Shuang is the attendant adjutant. If the Madam has anything, you can let her come to find me."

Han Yue left five attendants, among whom the attendant adjutant named Han Shuang was seven points similar to him and should be his younger sister.

Li Ying Xuan Ling nodded. After sending Han Yue away, he lay on the bed under the service of the five attendants, preparing to rest.

It was actually almost dawn at this time. It was said that cold-resistant level personnel should sleep at night, but without going out to hunt, sleeping during the day was nothing.

He had already eaten a lot of things and drank a jin of blood cold wine. He was dizzy and naturally fell asleep on the bed.

But soon, he was awakened by a large hand reaching into the quilt.

"Who is it, dare..."

Li Ying Xuan Ling scolded angrily subconsciously after being awakened, but before he finished, he realized who the person was and immediately closed his mouth.

Followed by a rustling movement, which came out from the room.

After a long time, the movement in the room gradually subsided.

"Weren't you unwilling before? Changed your nature?"

"Get out!" ===== CHAPTER 320 =====
