Set up a funeral service team in a foreign land

Chapter 112: The Tide's Cover-up, the Journey of the Liberty

Xi Sui'an flew thousands of meters high in the sky. The cold air permeated her body, making her mind unusually clear.

This trip was really worthwhile. She had Damocles as her backer in the foreign land, and the human world was connected with Yinglongwei. This was of great benefit to her.

Xi Sui'an's mind was full of thoughts. After a moment, she was suddenly stunned. She seemed to have forgotten something.

"I almost forgot to give Tidal Zone some food."

She was silent for a while. What exactly does Chao Xi like to eat?

"Hey, system, do you know the diet of mimic octopuses? What do they like to eat the most?" Xi Sui'an, who was having a headache, had to ask the system for help.

The system floated leisurely on the sea of ​​souls. Upon hearing this, it hummed lazily: "I'm not omniscient and omnipotent. Who knows what the mimic octopus likes to eat!" What's more, that guy feels like he can take a bite of anything.

"..." It sounds a bit weird.

The system turned around and said calmly, "The favorite food of the mimic octopus is the anomalocaris. This thing has disappeared in the human world eight hundred years ago. As for the foreign land, there are still some in the Lost Sea, but they have been monopolized by the mermaids."

Xi Sui'an blinked and said, Wuhu, it seems that it is not easy for Chao Xi to have a good meal.

"I think we can just buy some seafood to make do with it."

She sighed. Tide followed her everywhere. To be honest, it seemed that she had never eaten anything good. She was really neglectful of it.

Xi Sui'an looked up at the dimming stars and moon, then looked at the distant coastline, and thought for a moment: "I hope it's not too late."

She fell towards the ocean like a meteor, and plunged into the deep sea in a moment.

Living in symbiosis with the tides, she is like a fish in water in the sea. She dives quickly, her eyes scanning the sea, muttering: "It seems that I must save some human currency as well." Otherwise, if she doesn't have enough money to buy it, she will have to work hard to salvage it.

I'll go back and ask Li Chu if I can trade something with the Yinglong Guards.

When the tide brought her ashore before, she happened to encounter a spider crab. It caught it without saying a word and started chewing it happily. It seemed to accept it well. She thought this was it, and she might not have enough time to find food if she went deeper.

When she dived to 500 meters, a giant claw came into view. Its limbs spread out nearly ten meters. The spider crab crawled slowly by, completely unaware that there were humans giving it a slightly hungry look.

The limbs were plump and the crab body was huge. It looked very appetizing, and it made her feel a little hungry.

When she gets back she'll want a leg to eat.

Xi Sui'an thought quietly.

Her petrifying eye moved slightly, petrified the spider crab and quickly left the sea several hundred meters below. To deal with such a small creature without origin, her petrifying eye could petrify it for any time.

After returning home and removing the petrification, Xi Sui'an pondered for a moment: "I feel that the Eye of Petrification is also quite good for preserving freshness."

The system heard Xi Sui'an mumbling to himself and rolled its eyes speechlessly. What weird uses are these?

By the time she returned to H City, it was already bright, but it was still too late.

Xi Sui'an sighed with a headache. Damn it! Her parents must be awake and must know that she is not at home at this time. How can she explain it to them?

Morning jog or something?

She quickly made up various excuses in her mind while stepping through the window to enter her room, but she still couldn't come up with a perfect lie after a long time.

She sighed: "Tide, I'm back."

"I'm back a little late."

"Well, this conversation took a bit long," she responded automatically.

Hey, why does this sound not seem to be from the tide? Why does it sound a little familiar...

Xi Sui paused, looked up at the situation in the room, and then he was petrified on the spot.

A girl in blue home clothes was looking at her.

"She" had a slightly unfamiliar, sleepy expression, leaning back in the chair with her hands folded and looking up lazily, her long black hair hanging naturally, her legs crossed and placed on the table, her posture bold and unrestrained.

"...?!!"

Xi Sui'an opened his mouth, looking shocked, "Are you Chao Xi?"

Chao Xi yawned: "Who else could it be but me."

Xi Sui'an glanced at the "Xi Sui'an" in front of him, his face slightly red: "Can you also imitate my appearance?!"

"Sure." Chao Xi said calmly, "As long as I'm familiar with you, surface mimicry won't be difficult."

It glanced at Xi Sui'an, and for a moment it seemed to melt, and in a few breaths it turned back into the little octopus that looked as bouncy as jelly.

Xi Sui'an was silent for a moment: "...I really didn't expect you could mimic a human."

"What's the good of mimicking a human? It's not comfortable at all." Chao Xi moved to the table without even looking at Xi Sui'an.

Xi Sui'an was really curious about Chao Xi at this moment: "This shouldn't be your true form either. What does your true form look like?"

Chao Xi glanced at Xi Sui'an and said calmly: "The mimic octopus will not easily reveal its true appearance." This is the nature of their species.

"Okay." She touched her chin, "Then are you male or female?" She had never asked or thought about this before.

"Anything is fine." Chao Xi calmly spread out the pieces on the table, "Male, female, androgynous, oh, genderless is also fine."

"..."

Xi Sui'an was silent and said sorry, she was narrow-minded.

She stretched her body and suddenly paused. Wait, why did Chaotide, who doesn't like to disguise herself as a human, suddenly disguise herself as her?

A bad thought slowly entered her mind, and she slowly looked at the leisurely Tide on the table.

As if Chao Xi knew what it was thinking, he said calmly, "I almost forgot to tell you that your mother just came up to look for you. Since you were not there, I had to cover up for you by responding."

"?!"

After hearing these words, Xi Sui'an's heart, which had a strong vitality, almost stopped beating.

"What did you say?!" She swallowed and tried to stay calm. "What did you tell my mother?"

"Nothing much. She asked me why I got up later than usual. I said I slept late last night, and then went downstairs to have breakfast and came back up. Don't worry, it's absolutely the same standard eating posture as you usually do. Believe me, there is absolutely no flaw."

Chao Xi smacked his lips and said, "Come to think of it, that little bun tastes pretty good." The food in the human world tastes good.

"..."It sounds like there's nothing wrong with it.

But... I always feel a little uneasy.

Xi Sui'an put the giant spider crab on the table, hurried over and opened the door: "I'll go take a look, you eat first."

Without even turning her head, she added: "Leave me a crab leg!"

"..."

Chao Xi looked at the door that slammed shut, turned around and pounced on the sea crab that had just been unpetrified, and muttered, "Humans can't eat much, so I'll leave a small one for you."

The hall was bright and clean. Zhao Ya, with her long wine-red hair, was taking a break after a busy period. She took a sip of tea, turned her head and looked up to see Xi Sui'an with a gentle expression.

"You didn't sleep well last night, why don't you take a rest?"

Xi Sui'an spread his hands and said, "How can young people spend their precious time sleeping?"

Hearing her teasing words, Zhao Ya nodded at her from a distance, a smile in her eyes: "You are so smooth-talking."

Xi Sui'an glanced at Zhao Ya inconspicuously. It seemed that her mother didn't notice anything.

She smiled and rubbed her wrist. "How can I help you, dear Queen? Your guardian knight is willing to serve you."

Zhao Ya covered her mouth and chuckled, "Your father is my knight. However, if Your Highness wants to serve me, that's fine." She tapped the table and said, "Go buy some sourdough bread. Her Majesty is craving for some."

Xi Sui'an touched his nose and said, "What's so good about something sour?"

She was about to complain, but when she saw Zhao Ya's smiling face, she immediately changed the subject: "Okay, no problem, I'll be there right away."

Zhao Ya watched her daughter walk out the door, rubbed the cup with her fingers, and tilted her head slightly.

It’s true that the little girl doesn’t like sour things. Then why did she, who has always eaten steamed buns with chili oil, dip it in a whole dish of vinegar this morning?

Zhao Ya hesitated for a moment and took a sip of tea.

Forget it, maybe it’s influenced by the eating habits at school.

Xi Yuan heard the mother and daughter's words and poked his head out from behind, looking puzzled: "Didn't you eat?"

Zhao Ya smiled slightly: "I want to have another meal, does the knight have any objection?"

"...No." Xi Yuan retracted his head. "Your Majesty can eat whatever you want."

-

By the time Xi Sui'an had some free time and returned to his room, Chao Xi had already finished his meal and was ready to go to bed.

She calmly broke off the two-meter-long crab legs that Chao Xi had left for her, picked out the crab meat, and commented as she ate: "The taste is average, the texture is okay, a little chewy."

Chao Xi closed his eyes and said sleepily: "When will we go back to the foreign land?" It was still a little uncomfortable with the climate in the human world.

Xi Sui'an thought about it, took out the college communicator and sent greetings to Li Chu and Zhong Heng respectively, asking about their specific return time.

Li Chu: I have to wait for another three or two days. I just got the news today that Meng Shisi of Yinglong Guard has picked Penglai Pavilion. Penglai Pavilion has now been completely reorganized into Yinglong Guard.

Xi Sui'an raised his eyebrows slightly: So fast? It's only been a short time. Is this Envoy Meng very powerful?

Li Chu: Of course! Envoy Meng is responsible for external affairs, while my master is responsible for internal affairs. If we talk about combat capability alone, she is even more powerful than my master!

Xi Sui'an's eyebrows deepened slightly. One of them controlled the power of Yinglong Guard, and the other planned and arranged everything, and set his sights on foreign lands.

Xi Sui'an smiled and said: What are the arrangements for the three elders of Penglai Pavilion and Pavilion Master Zhou Heng?

Li Chu: The Great Elder Jingtai has gone to help the Master. The Second and Third Elders are negotiating with Envoy Meng. As for Pavilion Master Zhou Heng, it seems he has been sent to guard something.

Xi Sui'an pondered for a moment, and it was really completely broken down.

She shook her head slightly: After the matter is settled, you should return to the foreign land as soon as possible, so as not to be unable to bear the burden of the Eye of Prophecy.

Li Chu: Don't worry, it's not a big problem. How about you?

Xi Sui'an was about to reply when Zhong Heng's message popped up.

——It will take some time. You haven’t returned to the foreign land yet, right?

Xi Sui'an: No.

Zhong Heng: Then why don’t you come to the Liberty? Ping is kind of missing you.

Xi Sui'an was slightly stunned. Was that child who looked like a floating duckweed missing her?

Xi Sui'an: Okay, tell me the location.

Zhongheng quickly sent her a location message.

She turned around and replied to Li Chu: I'm going to Zhong Heng's place, go back early, no need to wait for me.

Li Chu: Okay then, just be careful.

Xi Sui'an put away the communicator and looked at Chao Xi.

"We have another place to go next."

It just so happened that she wanted to meet Qingyun.

When it comes to the degree of understanding of the two worlds, Qingyun, the leader of the merchants in the two realms, definitely has a much deeper understanding than the average guy.

What's more, there is the child Aping, who became a bound spirit for unknown reasons. She had seen Zhong Heng's inner demon illusion, and the system had said at the time that it might be a problem with the earth veins, which also made her a little concerned.

I don’t know if Chao Xi heard it or not, but he seemed to have fallen asleep.

Xi Sui'an sighed, thought quietly for a moment, and then took out the lie-come-true dice that Li Yuan gave her.

She invested her original power and rolled the dice. It rolled on the table for a moment, then stopped, and one of the eighteen sides lit up.

Are you telling lies at this time?

She pondered for a moment and said, "Xi Sui'an has returned to the foreign land through the second gate."

The lit side of the dice flickered a few times, then became brighter, and after a few breaths it went completely dark again, and finally became silent as if nothing had happened.

That's it.

Xi Sui'an felt it, but really felt nothing.

"Tsk, I hope I can interfere with the other party's divination predictions. Eternal oath, please accept today's lies." Xi Sui'an weighed the dice and curled the corners of his lips.

If they really predicted her and unfortunately got this false news, they would be in big trouble.

If you're unlucky enough, you might have to fight with the goalkeeper, not to mention that the goalkeeper at the second gate, Zhao Tianya, looks like he's not someone you'd be easy to mess with.

Xi Sui'an slowly put away his smile and looked out the window for a moment to see the clear sky.

It's about time, she has to go.

After spending another two days at home, she told her parents that the vacation was over and she had to return to college.

Xi Yuan and Zhao Ya sighed, gently told her to take good care of herself, to tell them if anything happened, and so on, then reluctantly sent her to the plane.

Xi Sui'an did not run away this time. He waited obediently until the plane reached its destination.

The location of the Liberty was right here, which surprised her a little but was also reasonable.

She had just walked out of the airport and was about to send a message to Zhong Heng that she was at the airport when the other party stood in front of her.

"Fortunately I'm not late. Long time no see, Xi Sui'an."

Xi Sui'an was slightly stunned. The handsome young man in front of him smiled, his face was calm and composed, and his temperament was humble. He was really unlike Zhong Heng.

She paused and smiled, "It's you. Long time no see, Bo Yan."

"Zhongheng called me here because he was feeling a bit lazy." He sighed helplessly.

Xi Sui'an didn't care: "It's okay." They were in the same boat, so it would be the same no matter who showed up.

"Sister Qingyun wants to see you again." Bo Yan said gently.

What a coincidence.

Xi Sui'an raised his eyebrows slightly: "Okay, I just happen to have something to talk to her about."
