Looking at the sizzling roast at, soone asked, "Mr. Chen, this looks quite professional. Why didn't you show your skills last night?"
Chen Mo replied grumpily, "I'm not a chef, just in a good mood today, so I decided to show a bit..."
"So you an chatting with last night made your mood bad?" Xu You tilted her head and said.
"Alright, stop the nonsense, hurry up and eat." Chen Mo picked up a newly roasted beef skewer and handed it to her.
Xu You pursed her lips but wasn't angry, she took a small bite, a hint of surprise flashing across her face, "Hmm? The taste is quite unique, where did you learn this?"
"Passed down through generations, well, do you like my big at skewers?"
"I like them, but they're too big to fit in one bite."
???
Ye Zi'e's face was full of question marks.
Is there no problem with this conversation?
Moreover, seeing how familiar the two are compared to yesterday, could it be that Chen Mo has discovered the Empress's identity?
No, it shouldn't be...
Li Yuan also felt sothing was off, hesitated for a mont, and asked, "Mr. Chen, did you know this Mr. Xu before?"
"Not really." Chen Mo shook his head and said, "Couldn't sleep last night, went to sit on the deck, happened to et her, and chatted a bit, that's all."
Li Yuan's eyebrows raised slightly.
It was casual talk, yet it feels like they've been old friends for years? Her intuition told her, the relationship between them certainly isn't that simple.
But looking at Mr. Xu's ordinary appearance, it shouldn't be...
"So what did you two talk about last night?" Li Yuan asked.
"This..."
Because it involved Xu You's privacy, Chen Mo hesitated and didn't directly answer.
Li Yuan made a gesture of realization, waving her hand repeatedly, "I was just asking casually, no need to say if you don't want to..."
"No worries, just that my feelings are troubled, and I vented a bit to Mr. Chen." Xu You said lightly.
"Oh? Is Mr. Xu married?" Li Yuan asked curiously.
"Not exactly, but I do have soone I like, yet his heart isn't only with ." Xu You sighed.
Ye Zi'e, standing nearby, heard this and broke into a cold sweat.
Oh dear, laying the cards right on the table?
Is this sothing I should be hearing? Am I going to be silenced?!
Chen Mo turned over the skewers on the grill, explaining further, "Mr. Xu's man is ssing around with other won, even being affectionate right in front of her, truly despicable..."
Saying this, he suddenly felt sothing was off.
Like he'd done that sort of thing himself, and more than once...
"That outrageous?"
Li Yuan's hostility disappeared and instead ca a flood of sympathy, indignantly saying, "You can actually tolerate this? Ultimately, it's the scoundrel's fault, if you ask , why not just 'snip' him off..."
As she spoke, her two fingers made a scissor-like gesture.
Xu You noticed and looked slightly awkward, but just smiled and said nothing more.
The three gathered around the grill, eating and chatting, drawing closer rapidly, especially Li Yuan and Xu You, turning into close sisters just after a short while.
Won's feelings sotis develop so quickly.
Li Yuan herself hadn't expected to find so much in common with Mr. Xu, particularly regarding relationship experiences that were surprisingly similar, as if liking the sa man...
Ye Zi'e couldn't figure out the Empress's thoughts for the mont, standing aside not daring to speak.
Until the third batch of roast at was finished, Li Yuan rubbed her round belly, burping and saying, "I can't eat anymore..."
"I'm full too." Xu You elegantly wiped the corners of her mouth with silk.
Master Chen extinguished the coal fire, packed up the grill, and moved to the side of the ship, peering down through layers of clouds.
At this ti, the Flying Boat had left Golden Sun State, and the buildings were becoming sparse, the terrain growing undulating, with endless towering ridges in sight, steep and treacherous, and occasionally seeing stretches of dark Toxic Miasma covering dozens of miles.
Indicating they were entering Tiannan State territory.
Recalling the scene when nearly trapped and refined in the Sea of Blood last ti, Chen Mo's eyebrow twitched.
Learning from past mistakes, facing Blood Demon, he indeed lacked thorough preparation, almost facing disaster, so he must plan well this ti, definitely not let Li Yuan suffer the sa fate again.
"Households Commander Ye, bring out the intelligence on Gu God Sect and share it with everyone." Chen Mo said.
"Alright."
Ye Zi'e nodded, took out a piece of parchnt from her bosom and laid it on the table.
It depicted detailed topography of Nantu and Tiannan States, with every city, official road, even villages marked out, three areas circled in red.
"After months of tracking and investigating, I've roughly determined the activity areas of the Gu God Sect remnants." Ye Zi'e pointed to the circled locations, saying, "Representing Fengmu County in Tiannan State, Bailu City in Nantu's center, and Gushan River bordering the frontier."
"During the investigation, I captured several cult mbers and subjected them to rigorous interrogation."
"Currently, we can confirm that the Gu God Sect Hierarch Yin Tiankou's physical body has been destroyed, leaving only a strand of Divine Soul attached to cult mbers, but this is precisely the most troubleso part—"
"Because the Cultivation Technique of Gu God Sect is unique, the cult mbers' bodies have been transford by Gu Poison Worms, extrely compatible with Yin Tiankou's Divine Soul, allowing him to freely switch between different bodies, making it naturally increasingly difficult to capture him."
"Moreover, there's a protector nad 'Elder Shi' by his side, and his Realm is likely above the Third Grade."
