When Zhong Wen refused the "job" as a cook, Zhong Wen could see a trace of indescribable sadness in Illya's watery eyes.
This is a miserable girl.
A sentence that Shen Xiaowan said during the chat suddenly appeared in his mind.
Although judging from the luxurious mansions and the large number of servants around him, it didn't look like he was suffering at all. However, he could still faintly sense that Shen Xiaowan was not exaggerating.
"I'll be your full-time cook. I don't have that much free time, and you can't afford the salary."
Before leaving, Zhong Wen looked at the blond girl with a smile and said, "But I live in Tongling Sea, which is not far from here. Occasionally, you can come over and have a meal. I will cook, and you will be responsible for providing the ingredients. You don't have to pay for it. How about it?" ?”
"Who, who cares!"
Illya's eyes lit up, then her face became stern, she turned her head and pretended to be disdainful, "Let's go, let's go, don't bother me if you have nothing to do."
Zhong Wen burst out laughing and walked out of the courtyard, embarking on the eastbound road with the two women, a fox and a tiger.
"snort!"
Illya snorted coldly and turned away from looking at him. From an angle where no one could see her, the corners of her mouth slightly raised unconsciously, revealing an imperceptible smile.
Although this person is annoying, he is not without merit.
The girl thought very proudly.
…
"Brother Chef is indeed very gentle."
Shen Xiaowan and Zhong Wen walked side by side, walking dozens of feet apart, and suddenly said without warning, "Especially to beautiful girls."
"Huh?" Zhong Wen looked at her inexplicably.
"No, it's nothing."
Shen Xiaowan blushed and replied hesitantly, then suddenly pointed to the gathering place not far away and said, "Someone is posting notices over there, let me go and take a look!"
After saying that, she ran forward in a panic. The dignified Soul Realm boss staggered when he walked, almost tripping himself. From behind, you could clearly see a charming pink color on the snow-white skin of the girl's neck.
"This girl, what are you doing?" Zhong Wen scratched his head in confusion.
"He looks like a very smart young man, and he's also a master at picking up girls."
Nine-tailed Sky Fox Bai Ling suddenly sighed and whispered to Nangong Ling beside him, "Why are you so slow?"
"It's not necessarily a sign of being slow."
Nangong Ling smiled slightly and replied lightly, "Compared to the people and things close by, people are always used to looking further away. Those who are too easy to get often do not cherish them. This is all in the world. A common problem in living things.”
While they were talking, Zhong Wen and his entourage had already arrived at a crowded place. Just as the guard of the city lord's palace had finished posting the notice, he held a roll of paper in his arms and continued to stride towards the next notice point.
"I'll go, am I right?"
"From now on, we are all people of the Spiritual Sea?"
"No way? The City of Two Realms has always remained neutral and never relied on any force. Otherwise, we wouldn't have come to settle here. Why are we suddenly going to join the Spiritual Sea?"
"Didn't someone just say that Tonglinghai and Zizaitian formed an alliance? Could it be because of that?"
"I heard it too, and thought it was a rumor. There is so much hatred between Tong Ling Hai and Zi Zai Tian, how can they shake hands and make peace?"
"But I heard that someone saw Palace Master Lin from the Psychic Sea and the spirit beast from Zizaitian walking together, and they were very close to each other!"
"Ma Dan, I committed a crime in the Spiritual Sea and escaped. Now even the two cities have taken refuge in the Spiritual Sea, so why am I still playing ball?"
"Haha, congratulations, brother, for escaping from the Psychic Sea to the Psychic Sea after all the hard work!"
"roll!"
The moment they saw the notice clearly, the onlookers were in an uproar and talked a lot.
Just because this notice from the City Lord's Mansion clearly states in black and white that from now on, the Two Boundary City will completely surrender to the Psychic Sea and become one of the cities under the jurisdiction of Shijue Palace.
This also means that the City of Two Realms, which has maintained absolute neutrality for thousands of years, actually broke the rules it set and chose to go out in person and participate in the struggle for hegemony among the realms.
The notice was concise and clear, but the meaning conveyed was enough to shock the entire world.
"Did you do it?" Nangong Ling tilted his head slightly in the direction of Zhong Wen.
"I'm just trying to scare the old city lord a little."
Zhong Wen chuckled and said, "I didn't expect him to give in so quickly."
"With Lin Bei, the Lord of the Chaos Realm, how can he not give in?" Nangong Ling smiled and shook his head, "But the Lord of the City seems unwilling to do so, and he even used some tricks to post this notice.
.”
"That's right, this old man is very cunning. He only wrote about the psychic sea in the notice, but deliberately left out the free sky."
Zhong Wen was stunned for a moment and instantly understood what Nangong Ling meant. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "At this time, he still wants to alienate the relationship between us and Senior Tianpeng. His heart is to be punished."
"You humans are really full of colorful intestines."
Bai Ling heard the conversation between the two on the side and couldn't help but sigh, and sighed again sincerely, "When dealing with you, I will fall into the trap if I am not careful. I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing that the king agrees to form an alliance."
"Sister Bai Ling is too worried. These tricks are used to deal with outsiders. Now that we have formed an alliance, we are our own people."
Zhong Wen looked at it with a smile and said, "No matter how strong the people from Piaohua Palace are, they all have one characteristic, that is, they are extremely protective of their shortcomings. If anyone dares to be disrespectful to Sister Bai Ling in the future, I will definitely be the first to rush forward.
Beat them until they don’t even know their mother.”
"That's nice to say!"
Bai Ling rolled her eyes at him lightly and couldn't help but giggle. Her nine furry tails moved happily. She was clearly a fox. The charming look exuded from her body actually made Zhong Wen even look so short.
I was lost for a moment, "I believe you are the only one who has ghosts."
The so-called foxiness is probably like this.
"here we go."
While talking and laughing, Nangong Ling blurted out.
"It's something that was expected." Zhong Wenyun replied calmly.
It turned out that through their spiritual consciousness, both of them were able to sense that many people in the city had activated their body skills and started to move towards the outside of the city.
These people are all very good at cultivation, and among them are actually two strong saints who have concealed their strength through unknown means. If their cultivation had not been exposed while moving, even Zhong Wen would not have noticed the existence of these masters.
.
"The cities of these two realms are indeed not simple."
Nangong Ling felt it carefully for a moment and said, "It turns out that there are so many informants from all domains hidden. They seem to be free and independent, but in fact they are under the joint supervision of all twelve domains."
"There is no such thing as absolute neutrality in the world."
Zhong Wen inexplicably recalled the true face of a "neutral country" on Blue Star in his previous life, and couldn't help but sneered, "The reason why we have to assume a neutral posture is that we are either too powerful and don't need to take sides at all, or
It’s just that they are too weak and dare not take sides at will, so they can only wander among the powerful ones and survive in the cracks. These two world cities obviously belong to the latter."
"Now that you understand this, you should also know that the cities of the two realms are in a delicate balance."
Nangong Ling looked calm and said calmly, "Now that this balance has been broken by you, it will inevitably cause a backlash in all domains, and the psychic sea will most likely become the target of public criticism."
"After all, it is two major realms of chaos joining forces."
Zhong Wen smiled faintly and said unconcernedly, "I think that for the sake of a two-realm city, each domain will not directly send out ten or eight domain lords to come and question the crime. If they just send some gods to provoke, I will naturally have a way to deal with it.
"
"As long as you understand."
Seeing that he didn't seem anxious, Nangong Ling nodded slightly and said nothing more.
"Little brother, didn't you say that the city lord has evil intentions?"
Seeing him rushing towards the Spiritual Sea without stopping, Bai Ling couldn't help but asked curiously, "Aren't you going to trouble him?"
"With Two Worlds City's public statement, it is enough for now."
Zhong Wen smiled and shook his head, "When we take complete control of the Shijue Palace, this little old man will be nothing more than a turtle in a urn. There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with him."
"Sister Nangong, please continue."
Arriving above the Spiritual Sea, Zhong Wen stared at the blue sea for a moment, and suddenly said out of nowhere, "I'm going to take the water route instead."
After saying that, without waiting for the other party to answer, he jumped into the sea with a "plop".
"What's going on, little brother?" Bai Ling asked confused.
"If he wants to take the waterway, let him swim there." Nangong Lingyun replied calmly, "Don't pay attention to it."
"Sister Ling'er, you never seem to interfere with your little brother's decisions." Bai Ling stared at her pink and gorgeous face for a long time, and then asked slowly, "Do you just believe him like this?"
"I owe him this." Nangong Ling sighed softly, suppressed his smile, and whispered in a voice as thin as a mosquito.
While one person and one fox were talking, an astonishing scene was taking place in the psychic sea below.
I saw Zhong Wen moving like a fish in the water, walking leisurely, agile and free, and his speed actually increased instead of decreasing.
He completely transformed himself into a soul, and the surface of his skin exuded a holy and bright light. Mysterious golden symbols floated out of his body one after another, and continued to fall on countless soul bodies around him.
Wherever he passed, the souls of fish, rays, crabs, squids, dolphins, and one after another of marine creatures disappeared out of thin air, as if they had never existed.
Returning to this sea area again, he actually let go of his hands and feet, and used psychic techniques while swimming, and unscrupulously contracted with the various soul bodies around him, completely ignoring whether the lake in his mind could be filled.
Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Millions?
The soul bodies in the psychic sea were so numerous and dense that they were inexhaustible. He kept running all the way to collect them without choosing. Until later, even he himself didn't know how many soul bodies he had contracted.
Even so, he was still refreshed and energetic, and he didn't even feel any burden on his soul.
Closing his eyes, the vast lake outside the "Xinhua Tibetan Scripture Pavilion" immediately appeared in front of his eyes.
As he expected, after the number of soul bodies increased to a certain level, the area of the beautiful lake in his mind expanded a lot again, and the end could no longer be seen at a glance.
In the crystal clear lake water, about a million souls of various colors were swimming happily and peacefully.
Only in the center of the lake near the star gem, conflicts would break out from time to time. Some powerful souls fought fiercely, refusing to give in to each other, just to get closer to the gem.
If any blind person dares to mess with me in the future, I will just release this million-strong army in one go, so I won’t scare them to pieces.
Looking at the powerful souls all over the lake, Zhong Wen couldn't help but drool and giggle. Thinking of the excitement, he felt his heart surge and he was extremely excited.
"Are you planning to move the entire psychic sea in?"
Just when he was secretly feeling happy, Lin Bei's annoying voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Oh, isn't this Brother Lin?"
However, this time Zhong Wen did not get angry. Instead, he rolled his eyes and turned to look at him with a smile, with a playful light in his eyes, "Long time no see, I miss you so much!"
"I'm afraid it's not that I miss Lin as a person." Lin Bei was a little fussy when he looked at him. He instinctively took a step back and laughed dryly, "but that he missed the feeling of beating me, right?"
"how come?"
The aunt's smile on Zhong Wen's face became more and more charming, "Speaking of which, I have had some adventures recently, and I want to share them with Brother Lin."
"Oh?" Lin Bei composed himself, "I'd like to hear the details."
"Recently, a group of people insist on asking me to become the master of the Shijue Palace."
Zhong Wen shook his head repeatedly and said with a look of helplessness, "I didn't want to at first, but I couldn't stand them. They kept pestering me and begged me. In the end, I had to reluctantly agree. It's really troublesome!"
Lin Bei's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes shone brightly.
