Heavenly Dao Formula

In the middle of the night, Ai Li lay on the wooden bed for a long time without falling asleep.

The moment she was roughly treated and locked in prison, she almost thought that the enemy from the other side of the sea had captured this place and was about to capture her as a slave. Although this nightmarish scene did not become a reality, until now, the lingering fear in her heart has not completely dissipated.

However, compared with fear, what makes Ai Li feel at a loss is the sense of loss.

Treeboats can't stay afloat all the time—World Island is big enough to support everyone, but treeboats aren't. Just making it move has consumed all the magic power of the tree spirit. Food, drink, clothing, and utensils are all used less and less. They rely on land to get a chance to breathe.

Therefore, she went to this sea area not only to see the dynasty described by the tribe, but also to find an opportunity for the tree boat to dock temporarily.

However, a hundred years has completely changed the appearance of that dynasty.

According to the information obtained from Miss Mo Yun, the current kingdom is called Daqi.

Whether it is the policy towards aliens or the attitude towards diplomatic relations, they are completely different from the past.

This is the gap between books and reality...

Fortunately, the place where she stayed was ruled by Princess Qiguo. Judging from the half-night conversation, this person seemed to be quite interested in the people of World Island, and did not show much dislike for her... This may mean that the opportunity for negotiation is not completely closed yet.

Thinking of the scene where the World Island was engulfed by the flames of war and many tree boats fled in all directions, Ai Li felt sore eyes. She grew up on the island since she was a child, and all her knowledge of the Western Continent came from an ancient book. She never thought that one day she would go to a strange continent alone.

Not only for her, but for all the islanders, it is probably an unbelievable thing.

But she knew that the clansman was right.

Closed self will only be abandoned by the world.

The time has come for them to change.

Click——

With a soft bang, a black shadow rushed to the window.

Airi almost cried out!

But with the help of the faint moonlight, she quickly discovered that this person was the woman who brought her out of the dungeon, and her name seemed to be Li Lai.

The other party lightly jumped into the room and took off the hood on his head.

Airi was surprised to find that she had a pair of fluffy ears on top of her head.

Li turned out to be... a lycanthropy?

In an instant, most of Ai Li's vigilance was relieved—the lycanthropy existed on the other side of the sea, which was more miserable than the islanders. If they were discovered, they would basically be sentenced to death, and most of them could not even be slaves. They are at least protected by tree spirits, and once established a prosperous country, but the lycanthropes have nothing, not to mention their rare numbers, and their ability is very low, so they are often regarded as objects of hunting for fun.

Looking at Li, a sense of sympathy surged in her heart.

The fox demon walked to the bed, put down the copper basin in his hand and lifted the lid.

An extremely fragrant smell immediately spread throughout the room.

So... so delicious!

Ai Li's mouth drooled almost like a conditioned reflex.

When Ms. Mo Yun asked her what she wanted to eat, because she didn't know the eating habits here, she just ordered some fruit to be on the safe side. It wasn't a big problem to satisfy her hunger, but she was still far from full.

Now hooked by the scent, her stomach immediately churned.

But why does the stuff in the pot look like...crabs?

Is this reptile edible too?

While she was still surprised, Li had already picked up one of them and threw it into her mouth, and pointed at her too.

This is the lycanthropy inviting himself...

Hearing the other party's chewing sound, Ai Li finally decided to give it a try—in any case, Li Zeng rescued her from the cage, so she shouldn't reject the other party's kindness. While silently saying "Closing yourself off, you will be abandoned by the world", she slowly stretched out her hand.

When the crispy shell cracked in her mouth and the salty and delicious juice flowed out, Airi couldn't help but hum!

It turns out that crabs are not only edible, but also delicious!

The soft and warm crab meat flowed into her stomach, which made her tense nerves relax a lot.

The food of the islanders is mostly fruits and fish, and World Island has never lacked these things, so their recipes have not changed much for hundreds of years.

She didn't think it was a bad thing before.

But now Airi vaguely began to understand why that clansman wanted everyone to look further afield.

The two of you took one bite and the other quickly finished sharing the dishes in the basin.

"Thank you." Ai Li rubbed her wet eyes and said softly to the fox demon. Since Qiguo treats foreigners quite harshly, she must have also experienced a very difficult time. But even so, she is still integrated into the world of ordinary people—even if she needs to wear a hood all the time, hide the tail behind her back, she never forgets to help and comfort herself in a foreign country.

Even lycanthropes can do this, so what reason do I have to retreat at this moment? Even if the chance is slim, she wants to try her best.

Just like tasting this pot of crabs.

...

Li jumped out of the window and climbed up to the roof two or three times, and Shanhui, who had been waiting for a long time, appeared immediately.

"How? Did she eat?"

"Of course." Li snorted softly, "I can't be bothered by cross-boundary spells, let alone a fried crab?"

"That's great..." Shan Hui licked his lips, "I want to eat crabs too."

"You forget it after you eat it, so what's the use of giving it to you?"

"Will she remember it after eating it?" Shan Hui objected.

"Giving charcoal in the snow, of course it is more impressive than an ordinary meal. It's like..." She paused slightly when she said this.

"Like what?"

"You don't understand even if you say it, just think about it slowly."

For some reason, Shan Hui felt that the tone of the fox demon had become quite gentle, so that he once thought he had been hit by a trick. "So this solicitation operation has been very effective?"

"That's natural. Monsters have a stronger body than humans, but they often lack spirituality. As long as they are lured a little, they can be used by me." Li folded his arms and turned his back to the bright moonlight. Standing out depends on its clever mind, so as the most intelligent monster, do you think there is any problem with the fox being the top of all monsters in the world?"

Here it is, this is the boss he is familiar with!

Shan Hui couldn't help wagging his tail, looking up to the sky and whining.

...

Xia Fan walked out of the study after writing the main points of the assembly line for Mo Yun, and found a plate on the square table in the hall, with a note on the side.

"I made some supper for you, eat it while it's hot, don't go to bed too late."

He opened the cover above and found that it was a bowl of fried crab that Jiaoli had made before.

Xia Fan picked up the plate with a smile and tried to take a bite.

"Well... that guy's craftsmanship is not bad."

Just as they were about to enjoy supper, a long wolf howl suddenly came from outside the yard.

As soon as I heard it, I knew it was the tengu barking.

She clearly told him not to speak indiscriminately after nightfall, so as not to disturb other people's dreams.

Xia Fan walked into the yard angrily and amusedly, followed the prestige, and then saw a man and a dog standing on the roof in the distance.

Under the reflection of the moon, Li's figure stands proudly, with his hair and tail flying up and down, like ribbons dancing in the wind, giving him an indescribably free and easy feeling.

Although the night covers most of the details, the exquisite lines and the outlines drawn by the moonlight are already a superb view.

While admiring the scene, Xia Fan happily finished his supper.
