Zhu Yanyi looked at the other eight items with a carefree expression, as if they meant nothing to her.
"You think the nine-tailed fox catches your eye because your flame is a fox," Ouyang Tianyun said, seeing right through her thoughts.
"Love me, love my dog. I have that too," Zhu Yanyi admitted without hesitation. To her, it was perfectly normal. After all, she felt close to foxes.
Sikong Xuran added, "It’s just a legend, but honestly, I like that ending. It also explains the fishy smell and murky air in this space. That crawling beast is probably causing trouble. The nine-tailed fox was a demon cultivator, but at a certain level, it could ascend. Since the fox is gone, it must have ascended."
"If the nine-tailed fox ascended, it’s easy to explain why the Yamata no Orochi came out. When the tiger is away, the monkeys run wild," Yi Yunfei joined the analysis.
Zhu Yanyi said, "It’s a legend, but since the Yamata no Orochi is here, we should catch it. Snake meat tastes good. I wonder if this beast’s meat has changed."
"Fifteen, do you still want to eat the Yamata no Orochi?" Ouyang Tianyun was surprised by her boldness again.
"Why not eat it if we can?" Zhu Yanyi looked very serious. "Many things in this world are edible. For example, those crayfish that appeared recently. Some bad groups dropped them here by air. They look cute but destroy crops. But I think we can just eat them. Stir-fried crayfish, steamed crayfish. If we eat them all, how can they threaten our crops?"
Zhu Yanyi remembered that in later times, some people even started farming crayfish because they were delicious. This must have been a huge blow to those groups who wanted to harm China.
"Hearing you say that, I want stir-fried and steamed crayfish too," Ouyang Tianyun said. He couldn’t resist good food.
"I’ll make it for you when we go back," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "For now, let’s see if we can catch this beast and have a full snake banquet."
"Then you catch it," Sikong Xuran agreed. Catching and eating snakes was no big deal for them.
Yan Aohan coughed. "This beast is very old. The meat is probably not fresh. Ani, I don’t suggest you eat it. If you really want snake meat, choose another one. Just destroy this one."
"Is the Yamata no Orochi’s meat bad?" Zhu Yanyi asked, looking curious.
"Think about it. It’s lived so long. Can the meat be good?" Yan Aohan said nothing else.
Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment. "Does snake meat differ by age?"
She didn’t usually distinguish between old and young snake meat.
"Normal snake meat doesn’t need such distinction. The snakes you eat are only a few years old. But this old beast is too ancient. You know, old people’s skin and muscles are different from young people’s. It’s the same for this beast," Yan Aohan said seriously, as if stating a fact.
"Okay, I won’t eat it. I’ll give it all to Binglan as food," Zhu Yanyi said. Yan Aohan sounded so serious. Besides, a snake with eight heads probably didn’t taste good anyway. She gave up.
She comforted herself, forgetting who had just wanted to eat the Yamata no Orochi.
"Good. Now, the most important thing is to find this snake and let you deal with it," Yan Aohan said seriously.
Zhu Yanyi knew what she meant. She had to find the snake herself. Yan Aohan, as a true god, could not interfere. He waved his hand. "Finding the snake is easy. But first, we must save Senior Brother Qingyun. We must know what is primary and what is secondary."
The Yamata no Orochi must be destroyed. Since they were here and found such a monster, they had to deal with it. But that didn’t mean she forgot her purpose. She came here mainly to find Yu Qingyun.
Zhu Yanyi looked at Mingchuan Manor. "What if we sneak in at night?"
"Are we going to steal?" Ouyang Tianyun asked with a smile.
"You’re the thief," Zhu Yanyi glared at her. "I mean, we should find Senior Brother Qingyun first. Her memory was altered. We need to see the situation. Pulse diagnosis won’t work."
"Let’s go," Yi Yunfei said. "We’ll accompany you."
Sikong Xuran nodded. "This is a big matter. If someone altered a person’s memory, they must have a plan. It’s important to check."
"Let’s move out at night. I have some medicine. I’ll drop it so they won’t notice us entering," Zhu Yanyi said. She knew her main goal was to see Yu Qingyun’s condition. Who dared to alter her memory? That was the most important question. She hoped this trip would bring some answers.
After dinner, Zhu Yanyi and the others rested for a while. Around ten o’clock, Zhu Yanyi decided to move.
Usually, the late night was safest. But Zhu Yanyi didn’t know why. Her instinct told her to go in the early night. So she followed her feeling. Around ten o’clock, when there were fewer people, she set off.
But as soon as Zhu Yanyi reached the door, she saw Yu Qingyun walking out.
"Where is she going?" Zhu Yanyi asked the others curiously.
"I don’t know. Let’s follow him," Ouyang Tianyun said.
The five of them quietly followed Yu Qingyun.
At this time, the nightlife in this country was just starting. There were quite a few people on the streets.
Yu Qingyun walked slowly to a small wine shop and went in. It seemed Yu Qingyun was enjoying the nightlife.
Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. "If all five of us go in, it’s too many. I’ll go in and check."
