Chapter 713: Flowers and Soup

The moment the floating city flew high, Gu Qingshan also heaved a sigh of relief.

At some point, Xiao Xi had already stood beside him, quietly looking at the scene under the sky.

"It's finally coming out." Xiao Xi said with emotion.

"This is that monster?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"It's it, these hands are just its skin, the real one is still half asleep and half awake." Xiao Xi said.

Gu Qingshan looked at her and said: "It turns out that you have confronted such an existence, it is really unimaginable."

Xiao Xi thought about it: "I originally thought that the ancient food world demon insect could successfully appease it, but who knew it would fail. I don't know if the gods have other methods."

"No matter what the gods think, is there any way for us to escape from here?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"No, I am too weak now." Xiao Xi sighed.

The two had a meal, and looked towards the black market at the same time.

I saw that in the entire black market, except for the console that controls the flight of the floating city, other places were in chaos.

Fight, kill, loot, destroy...

People flocked into various stores like crazy, snatching things that are useful to them, and fighting directly if they encounter obstacles.

Some people began to revenge for revenge, revenge for injustice.

Battles are fought everywhere.

Fortunately, Gu Qingshan chose a remote place on the edge of the flight center, and there was nothing worth searching for, so no one came yet.

Hearing the booming sound from a distance, Xiao Xi said in puzzlement: "It's clearly a desperate situation, why do they still do this?"

Gu Qingshan glanced at her and asked back: "When you were not sealed before, did you have little contact with sentient beings?"

"Yes, apart from fighting monsters every day, I just sleep..." Xiao Xi watched the endless killings and scrambles in the black market, and asked, "Why are they all crazy?"

Gu Qingshan said: "This is the nature of all living beings."

"The temperament of all living beings..." Xiao Xi couldn't understand: "In a desperate environment, will all living beings change their temperament?"

"It's not a big change in temperament, this is their true temperament - these things will temporarily subside after those strong men are satisfied."

After Gu Qingshan finished speaking, he took out something from behind.

A pot.

Various seasonings and ingredients are also placed on the table.

He made a trick, diverted water from the air to wash the pot, and then began to process the ingredients.

Xiao Xi asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

"Well—this is also the nature of all living beings." Gu Qingshan said.

Since arriving in the hegemony area, he hadn't had a bite of hot food, and just now he ate an extremely unpalatable bite of food, and finally couldn't bear it any longer and wanted to get something to eat.

His movements were extremely fast, and he prepared several dishes and a pot of soup in a short while.

"Since the enemy is completely unattainable, I have to eat something first - I will have the energy to think about problems when I am full." Gu Qingshan said.

Xiao Xi looked at the few dishes, her nose moved, and her face showed envy.

"Can you eat that much by yourself?" she asked.

"Of course not, come and eat with me."

Gu Qingshan asked her to sit down.

At this moment, Xiao Xi felt a little cramped.

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Qingshan saw that something was wrong with her, and asked with narrowed eyes.

Xiao Xi hesitated and said, "I—I may not be suitable for this matter."

Gu Qingshan was a little surprised: "It's just eating, what is suitable or not."

Xiao Xi's eyes fell on the steaming food, and she said softly: "The gods told me that there are only two things in my life, fighting and sleeping."

"Fighting removes evil, sleeping restores strength."

"Besides that, I can't do any behavior of sentient beings, because that will make me gradually degenerate."

Gu Qingshan was silent for a while, and asked: "So you have never eaten food?"

"yes."

"Aside from fighting and sleeping, have you done anything else?"

"...That's not true. When I gradually began to observe the world, I felt a change in myself."

"What change?" Gu Qingshan asked.

Xiao Xi said: "I began to feel that some things can be approached."

"For example?" Gu Qingshan asked.

Xiao Xi took out a card and handed it to Gu Qingshan.

Gu Qingshan looked around.

On the card is a bouquet of pink flowers.

He flicked the card lightly.

A bouquet of pink flowers exuding a faint fragrance appeared in his hand.

"It's so beautiful." Gu Qingshan sighed.

He handed the flowers to Xiao Xi.

Xiao Xi held the flowers, sniffed them a few times, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Once, I wiped out the evil in a world, and when I left, I accidentally discovered the existence of flowers. I didn't know why, so I collected a bunch."

"Since then, every time I go to a world, I will look for some flowers and collect them."

"The gods discovered my behavior, and they thought it was very strange, so they asked me why I did this."

"How did you answer?" Gu Qingshan asked.

Xiao Xi said with a look of reminiscence: "I said - I like these flowers, and I also like to travel between worlds."

"Since that day, the attitude of the gods towards me has changed."

"Changed?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"They seem to be avoiding me—but there is a goddess who likes flowers very much, why can she like them, but I can't?" Xiao Xi asked puzzled.

Facing her clean and flawless eyes, Gu Qingshan was at a loss for words for a while.

Xiao Xi continued: "After that, the gods let me come to this world to fight the monster underground. When I tried my best to seal the monster, the gods appeared."

"They put a kind of seal on me, and I fell into a deep sleep—until recently."

Gu Qingshan said: "Let's go back to the question just now, the gods don't allow you to do things other than fighting and sleeping, so do they usually have food?"

"Ah, yes, the gods like having banquets the most." Xiao Xi seemed to think of something, showing a hint of envy.

Gu Qingshan smiled silently.

He scooped up a bowl of soup himself, and gently placed it in front of Xiao Xi.

"Try it," he said.

Xiao Xi said nervously, "But I've never had anything to drink."

Gu Qingshan smiled and said: "I assure you, the soup I made is worth trying."

Xiao Xi looked at him.

He nods.

Xiao Xi took a deep breath, and said to herself: "Actually, I have always been curious about what it feels like to eat."

She picked up the bowl and carefully sipped at the edge of the bowl.

"How does it taste?" Gu Qingshan asked.

He found himself a little nervous.

It was the first time in so many years that he felt this kind of emotion since he came out of the stall.

Xiao Xi stayed for a while.

She lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands.

"I... don't know how to describe this feeling."

She said in a low voice, holding the bowl tightly with both hands.
