Xie Lei now feels a burning discomfort all over his body even when consistently eating ice, but eating ice provides him with temporary relief.
Yang Xiao rembered a report about the world’s spiciest chili, one chili can kill a hundred people, he didn’t know if Xie Lei ate this kind of garbage, but anyway, Xie Lei did eat a lot; if his Genetic Evolution Level wasn’t relatively high, he might have really died from it.
The spiciness of chilies has a specific scale known as the Scoville Scale. The spiciest chili is called Dragon’s Breath, with a Scoville Scale of 2.48 million. If soone eats it directly, it can cause anaphylactic shock; the spiciness literally burns through the respiratory tract, closing it down.
Xie Lei now feels as if his entire respiratory tract, intestines, and even his anus are on fire, only continuously eating ice can extinguish this fla.
Everyone scooped out a square ter of ice from the lake and quickly ran towards the Genetic Store.
Yang Xiao also grabbed a piece of ice.
Seeing Yang Xiao also actively scooping a piece of ice, the look on Xie Lei’s face improved slightly.
Xie Lei, holding a block of ice, walked and ate it, crunching loudly.
Yang Xiao turned back and said:
"Can you stop eating for a second? I always feel you eating ice looks too excited; could it really be that this ice is sweetened?"
Xie Lei glanced at Yang Xiao and said:
"Do you think I like eating ice this way? My stomach’s full of ice, but the mont I stop, from my throat to my intestines, my entire body feels terribly fiery. Aren’t you the cause of this? We’ll settle this score later."
Yang Xiao was stunned and said:
"You want to settle scores with ?"
Xie Lei took another bite of his ice and said:
"What? You think it’s over just like that? You’ve caused such discomfort; shouldn’t you give so compensation?"
"Compensation?"
Yang Xiao looked at Xie Lei, a mischievous smile appearing on his lips, then his hand slipped, and the ice fell with a smack onto the sandy ground.
"Ouch!"
Yang Xiao exclaid and hurriedly picked up the ice from the ground, but sohow, the ice suddenly cracked into pieces, falling back to the sandy ground, covered in sand.
Yang Xiao, holding a piece of ice filled with sand in each hand, looked at Xie Lei.
"Sorry, that was a slip..."
"I think you did it on purpose!"
Xie Lei chewed on a piece of ice, crunching loudly, and then walked away, looking back and saying:
"I don’t believe it, am I just short of your piece of ice?"
"I really didn’t do it intentionally."
Yang Xiao followed behind, earnestly explaining.
"I think you did it on purpose."
Xie Lei continued chewing his ice.
Yang Xiao looked up and saw Lan Xin standing in an orange halo, laughing at him, so he walked over and said:
"What are you laughing at?"
"Giggle... I think you did it deliberately..."
Yang Xiao rolled his eyes at her.
However, watching Lan Xin’s innocent and carefree laughter, he sort of got lost in it.
Not only Yang Xiao, but also nearby Zhang Hai and even Zhi Ruo and the sisters from the Shenming Mountain Sect were sowhat lost.
Who has ever seen Lan Xin laugh so heartily?
Lan Xin and her sisters from Shenming Mountain Sect, usually so serious and icy, usually had the deanor of an ice queen.
Seeing Lan Xin laugh so happily even made her closest sister, Xiao Lan, feel a tremor in her heart.
Yang Xiao could only smile helplessly at Lan Xin, shake his head, and turn to walk towards Monk Ben Yin and the others.
Everyone continued to gather around the campfire, roasting snake at.
Yang Xiao’s Fla Horse used its internal flas to grill a large piece of snake at on its own.
Everyone fished out nearly twenty one-ter-square ice blocks from the frozen lake and placed them all on two tree trunks, while Xie Lei sat on the side, continuously eating ice.
The bottle of Yunpan Country’s Spiciest Chili Sauce was left untouched, forcing Yang Xiao to put it away in his Space Ring.
Everyone was barbecuing and chatting, which made the atmosphere harmonious and lively. For everyone, having such a warm mont in an apocalyptic world was indeed considered a joy in life.
"Too bad we don’t have any alcohol!"
Monk Ben Yin said.
Yang Xiao replied with a laugh:
"You’re really a at and alcohol monk, might as well disrobe and break your chastity vow too."
Monk Ben Yin put his palms together solemnly and said:
"Amitabha, Brother Yang, that joke went a bit too far."
"How did breaking the chastity vow go too far? Let ask you, between a monk who spends all day in the temple, does not kill, does not eat at, does not go near won, but is petty and narrow-minded, rarely genuinely helping others, and a secular monk who eats at, drinks alcohol, and takes a wife, caring for the world, aiding the distressed, and helping others, who is closer to successful cultivation? Who would Buddha prefer to ascend to heaven?"
Monk Ben Yin was stunned and responded:
"Amitabha, Brother Yang, that’s sophistry."
Yang Xiao laughed and couldn’t be bothered to argue further, "Alright, you hold onto your beliefs, that’s not wrong. So, are you eating this at or not?"
Yang Xiao held up a piece of snake at he had grilled for Monk Ben Yin.
Monk Ben Yin snatched it and took a bite, saying:
"The vow of chastity is all I have left, are you really trying to make break that too?"
"Whoa, please don’t say it like that, people who don’t know might think there’s sothing between us."
"Hahaha....."
Everyone laughed heartily.
Not far away was the bonfire of Lan Xin and the other girls, where they ate gracefully, chatting softly while barbecuing.
Initially, Zhi Ruo and Lan Xin thought they couldn’t get along with each other, but unexpectedly, after spending a short ti together, they beca friendly.
In the two months prior, the words they exchanged could be counted clearly.
Tonight, they spoke more than ten tis the number of words than before, from simple pleasantries to later discussing each other’s cultivation, living environnts, and finally about the fashion and makeup of their respective hos.
...
"Big Sister Zhi Ruo, at Shenming Mountain, we have a type of Snow Plum. Every year when they bloom, we collect the petals and make blush from them. It not only has great skincare effects but also carries a natural fragrance. Check out this one."
Lan Xin pulled out a small crystal bottle, unscrewing the cap.
Zhi Ruo took a whiff, indeed finding the fragrance fresh and delightful. She dabbed a little onto the back of her hand and gently spread it. The blush mud was quickly absorbed by her skin, making that patch appear rosy and tender.
"It really is a wonderful product, no wonder you have such fair skin naturally scented, capable of srizing Young Master Yang."
Lan Xin blushed and shyly said,
"What are you talking about, Big Sister? You are the real beauty here. Maybe Young Master Yang secretly likes you but just hasn’t told you."
"Stop it; how could he like ? I think he only has eyes for you, giggle..."
The youthful vibe, along with the campfire light, filled the night air.
"Ouch, laughing so happily, who likes ?"
Lan Xin and Zhi Ruo were startled, turning to see Xie Lei holding an ice block, standing nearby in the night, fondly watching them.
(There are two more updates, quite late, everyone can go to sleep, reading in the morning won’t be late.)
