Chapter 211

So Dongfang Qi forced himself not to look at her, sat in front of the dining table, and tried hard to eat, actually eating three vegetable buns, two fried dough sticks, a bowl of rice porridge, and a portion of mixed noodles in one breath.

When Lin Qingyue turned her head, the table was completely empty.

She couldn't help but frown: "Dongfang Qi, your appetite has increased. I was just thinking that I might have ordered too much and was preparing to take it on the road."

Dongfang Qi was a little embarrassed: "I was distracted and didn't notice I ate too much. Uh... a bit full."

Lin Qingyue: "..."

"I can understand being distracted while eating, but I really can't understand eating until you are full because of being distracted."

Dongfang Qi took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth: "I can't understand it either, but... it is already like this, you should just forget about it."

Okay, now he was uncomfortably full, but at least he wasn't letting his imagination run wild anymore.

Dongfang Qi was about to pay, but heard Lin Qingyue ask about something she shouldn't: "By the way, what good dream did you have last night?"

So the beautiful dream that had already been suppressed flooded his heart again.

Dongfang Qi hurriedly turned his head and talked about something else: "That... should we buy some food before we set off?"

Lin Qingyue said: "Dongfang Qi, why are you blushing so shyly?"

"Who, who is blushing?"

"Don't pretend, you have cold white skin, it is especially obvious when you blush."

"Oh, that might be because I feel a bit hot. With my hair down, it is indeed a bit hot."

"Your hair is wet." Lin Qingyue smiled, "Actually, I can guess what you dreamed of."

"Yo-you can guess?" Dongfang Qi was inexplicably a little flustered, picked up the teacup, and tried to use drinking water to relieve the tension.

—Could it be that his performance just now revealed something?

But he heard Lin Qingyue say: "Do you remember the time you were in a coma for several days after you just came out of the Chiying Land? You must have had a very deep dream when you were in a coma, right? So I guess your dream last night was the same as the last one."

Dongfang Qi's hand shook, and he almost couldn't hold the teacup.

She actually guessed it! It must be that when I dreamed last time, I said some dream talk I shouldn't have and leaked it!

It's over, it's over, now Yueyue must know that I am a lecherous and lustful villain!

He was flustered and wanted to explain, but heard Lin Qingyue comfort him: "It's okay, you don't have to be shy. This is human nature."

Dongfang Qi was stunned: "So you... are not angry?"

"Why should I be angry? It is normal for a child to miss his mother; there is nothing to be shy about."

Lin Qingyue explained seriously: "Your identity is special, and many times you are not allowed to let your emotions leak. But you are a person after all, and you grew up bit by bit from childhood. It is not embarrassing for a baby to miss his mother."

She looked at the man in front of her, full of sincerity: "I can understand you. You are a person who values love and righteousness, and a filial good child. I think your mother in heaven will also be comforted."

Dongfang Qi: "No, I..."

Lin Qingyue blinked her innocent eyes: "Did I guess wrong?"

Dongfang Qi sighed as if accepting his fate: "No, you guessed right."

Lao Gui's voice suddenly floated out from the umbrella: "That's not right, the dream last night was clearly..."

Before he could finish, he was pressed by Dongfang Qi at the umbrella opening: "There are many people in the daytime, don't speak casually. If someone notices something unusual and it reaches the Guiyuan Sect, things will be difficult to handle."

"But..."

"Don't you want to save the people of Long County and watch them continue to be ignorant?"

"Then I..."

"Shut up."

Lao Gui shut up.

Lin Qingyue looked over with suspicious eyes.

Dongfang Qi smiled awkwardly: "The old man is really long-winded. By the way, what did you dream of last night?"

So, Lin Qingyue also shut up.

Dreaming of A Zhuo was within reason, but if Dongfang Qi knew that she had mixed the two together in the dream and done all kinds of absurd and romantic things, then her face as the Qingyue Immortal Venerable would really be lost!

The two stopped mentioning the dream at the same time, and thought at the same time: Looking at Lao Gui's appearance, could it be that he could peek into the content of the dream?

"Must send Lao Gui away first!" the two said in unison.

Lao Gui trembled in the umbrella: "Did I offend you? Why send me away suddenly again? Send me where?"

Dongfang Qi lowered his voice and said: "Didn't we say we would help you fulfill your obsession and send you to reincarnation?"

Lin Qingyue was also afraid that he would talk nonsense again: "Alright, don't speak again, just stay in the umbrella honestly."

It was a pity that for a while, there was really no way to send Lao Gui away.

Mainly, Dongfang Qi later found out that the Magistrate who framed Lao Gui back then had been transferred to the capital of Guifang Kingdom: Luo Cheng.

And the headquarters of the Guiyuan Sect was now also in Luo Cheng.

Fortunately, in the subsequent journey, Lao Gui did not talk nonsense again. He did mention sending them two more Dream Soul glimmers.

But both refused at the same time.

Dongfang Qi didn't want to indulge his desires again and tarnish the goddess in his heart.

Lin Qingyue was afraid that she would sink too deeply, develop a Heart Demon, and delay important matters.

After walking for another five days, the two arrived at Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng was an oasis located in the hinterland of the desert, rich in camels. Merchants from the south and north would rest here and buy camels. After thousands of years of evolution, it gradually became a city, and the city later developed into a country.

This Guifang Kingdom was originally a small country in the Western Regions, with mediocre strength.

Until more than ten years ago, with the growth of the Guiyuan Sect, Guifang Kingdom continued to expand outward. After successively annexing many small countries, it gradually developed into the hegemon of the Western Regions.

It was also because of the great benefits that Guifang Kingdom worshipped the Guiyuan Sect as the state religion and promoted it extensively.

The first requirement for selecting officials in the court was: believe in the Guiyuan God.

Under such a trend, in just over ten years, the Guiyuan Sect had infiltrated everywhere in the country.

However, as the capital, the infrastructure of Luo Cheng was actually very poor.

Low mud houses could be seen everywhere, and even the imperial palace was so simple that it was not as good as the mansion of a minister in the Qi Kingdom, not at all like the atmosphere a royal city should have.

The crowd wandering on the street was mostly ragged, sallow, and thin, with dull eyes. They mechanically clasped their palms together, muttering to themselves.

The content of the muttering was nothing more than: "I have sins, may the god eliminate my sins, ferry me through suffering, and take me to the Pure Land!"

Or: "Thank you for the god's gift, giving me life, giving me sunshine, rain, and dew... I dare not covet, I don't expect too much. I have already obtained endless happiness..."
