Inside the room, looking at the five heroes with a shocked face, Blue Rabbit spoke up: "Let's go out first." As he walked to the door and opened it. Dangdang, who had been waiting impatiently, rushed in and asked: "How are the Five Heroes? Have they recovered?" Xiao Li followed closely behind, saying slowly: "With Hongmao and Blue Rabbit here, there's definitely no problem, don't worry, young mistress!" But then Dangdang stood there, speechless for a long time.
Han Tian and Gu Jiujiu also walked in, but they were stunned for a moment. The five people in front of them were extraordinary, although they wore ordinary clothes and looked no different from ordinary civilians at first glance. However, their striking appearance and the aura that emanated from within made them seem so different from others.
For a moment, Turtle 99 and others were silent. Da Ben was bold and generous, and he hugged his fist without any restraint: "I am Da Ben, I don't know your names." Ding Dang and Han Tian seemed excited but also somewhat disbelieving when they heard this, after all, in their impression, Da Ben was just a baby who only knew how to cry and laugh, and the difference between him and the bold and unrestrained person in front of them was huge. They couldn't help but ask: "Are you Da Ben, the master of the Lei Sword, one of the Seven Swords?" "That's right." As soon as these words came out, Ding Dang and Han Tian had a few more respectful thoughts, and they also hugged their fists in return: "I am Ding Dang, a young woman." "I am Han Tian." Jumping and others also reported their names one after another. Shui Lingling had been observing their behavior and movements, and indeed, they were consistent with the rumors.
At this moment, Dongdang suddenly thought of something and searched for the man in yellow among the crowd. It was just a glance, but he really froze: "Hong... Hongmao, is that you?" The man in front of him had sword-like eyebrows and phoenix eyes, his body like a jade tree, with a pair of black pupils that made people drunk, smiling like a crescent moon, and when serious, like a cold star. The mature aura on his body should have inspired awe, but at the same time, the warm smile on his lips seemed so close, without any pressure.
Look at Blue Rabbit again, her shoulders are as slender as a willow branch, her waist is as delicate as a lotus stem, her skin is as smooth as congealed fat, and her aura is as elegant as a dark orchid. Her eyebrows are like the misty rain of a willow tree, and her eyes are as calm as autumn water, yet she doesn't lose her cleverness. A faint smile hangs on the corner of her mouth, such a face and temperament, indeed the number one beauty in the martial arts world!
Rainbow Cat nodded lightly and said, "Dingdang, thank you." Dingdang smiled, her eyes slightly raised, with a faint blush on her face, and excitedly said, "Congratulations to you!" At this time, Ou interrupted, "Okay, let's not stand here anymore. After talking for half a day, I'm getting hungry. Let's eat first." Then she turned her head to Rainbow Cat and said, "Rainbow Cat, after eating, I'll take a look at your condition and see if there's any way to help you recover your martial arts skills." Rainbow Cat nodded and said, "Ou, thank you for your trouble." Ou waved her hand and said, "No need to be polite between us. Xiao Er, bring two plates of chicken legs!" And then she walked out.
The remaining six heroes looked at each other and smiled, shaking their heads in resignation. Water Lingling spoke up, "Rainbow Cat, since you've all recovered, let's set off for Phoenix Island tomorrow." Rainbow Cat nodded slightly, "That sounds great, Master and Mistress, you must be tired from the journey, so rest early after dinner today." Water Lingling nodded kindly, while Turtle Jiuyi stroked his beard and said, "Today, you've all brought honor to my Phoenix Martial Arts Academy. From now on, Rainbow Cat, Blue Rabbit, Little Fox, Cold Sky, Dingdang, you will be the most outstanding disciples of my academy. I'll make sure all the other disciples look up to you as role models, but remember not to become arrogant and continue to work hard to bring glory to our academy." "Cold Sky obeys Master's teachings!" "Don't worry, Dad." However, Rainbow Cat, Blue Rabbit, and Little Fox did not respond.
Rainbow Cat said with a hint of apology: "Master, I joined the Phoenix Martial Arts Academy to obtain the Jingyuan Pearl and revive my brothers. Now that our goal has been achieved, we are no longer suitable to stay in the academy. Please forgive us, but you will always be my master!" Tingdang felt a pang of loss upon hearing this - was it already time to part ways? Gu Jiujiu let out a sigh in his heart, for he had indeed expected this outcome, though he had secretly hoped to keep Rainbow Cat and the others. After all, it was not easy to find martial arts prodigies like Rainbow Cat, and if they could stay, it would be of great help to the future of the Phoenix Martial Arts Academy.
But since Rainbow Cat has made it clear, she can't force them, so she nodded and said: "In that case, I still hope you can come back often to visit." Rainbow Cat, Blue Rabbit, and Little Fox chimed in unison: "We will definitely be back!" At this time, Sally happily said: "Then I'll go downstairs first to see if there's anything I can help with, and cook a few dishes by the way." As she walked out of the room, Shuilingling heard her and hurriedly followed her, saying: "Sally, I'll come up too! My culinary skills have made great progress recently..."
Ding Dang heard this and couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, saying "Mother, I'll come to help you..." while making a hand gesture to Xiaoli and others, also chasing after them. Da Ben asked somewhat puzzled: "Isn't it just cooking a dish? Do we need so many people?" Xiaoli sighed and said: "After eating Shifu's cooking, even if it's just a little bit, there's no saving anyone... You all just hope I can destroy a few more plates of food..." After saying that, he shook his head and walked out.
Han Tian's face also showed a hint of helplessness, and he followed Xiao Li down the stairs. Jumping and laughing for a while, he teased: "It's just a few dishes, it's not that serious. However, Hong Mao, you have to tell me about what happened on this trip..." As he spoke, he seemed to glance at Lan Tu unintentionally. Hong Mao and Lan Tu exchanged a look, and Lan Tu's eyes flashed with amusement, saying: "You can try, occasionally changing flavors is quite good." But it depends on whether you can swallow it with a smile later.
On this side, Tiao had already walked down the stairs and wandered into the backyard. He saw three people sitting on a stone bench not far away, with a plate of chicken legs and two jars of wine on the stone table. At this time, it was already sunset, and this position could just bask in the sun. Eating chicken, drinking wine, and basking in the sun, it was really comfortable. At this time, only one person heard, holding a chicken leg in one hand, saying: "Qiang Ge, Hong Mao and others have even taken away the Jingyuan Pearl, will it be more difficult to deal with them in the future?"
Another slightly chubby person wiped his oily mouth and took a sip of wine, saying: "That Rainbow Cat kid is just relying on having some kung fu skills, wait for me to go back and find a few masters to take care of him in two or three moves! And that Blue Rabbit, don't look at how I was defeated by her last time, it's because I let her win, I, Xiong Jianqiang, wouldn't bother with a mere woman like her!" The two followers next to him immediately echoed: "That's right, who can compare to Brother Qiang's elegance and refinement?" Xiong Jianqiang proudly raised his chin-less head and took another sip of wine.
Tou Tou couldn't help but find it amusing as he listened to all of this, although he didn't know who Xiong Jianqiang was. But judging from the looks of it, he seemed like just another arrogant and incompetent fool. However, if he wasn't taught a lesson, he would never learn his place. With a faint smile on the corner of his lips, Tou Tou walked over and said, "Excuse me, were you guys just discussing the winner of this year's San Tai Temple competition, Feng Huang Wu Guan?" The three men looked at him strangely, unsure where he had come from. "Yeah, Feng Huang Wu Guan is very strong, but those three people inside are a bunch of useless pretty boys. I reckon Hong Mao, Lan Tu, and Xiao Li must have bribed the judges!"
Tao Tao smiled and said, "But I think they're really good on stage." Xiong Jianqiang clearly didn't want to hear any praise for Hong Mao, and his face fell. The two followers saw this and quickly waved their hands, saying, "You don't understand, there's a lot going on here! If you've got nothing better to do, hurry up and leave, don't block our sun!" Tao Tao chuckled and said, "Then you guys eat slowly, I'll go first." As he spoke, his eyes flicked around, and he pretended to bend down and quickly pluck a blade of grass from the ground. He then pinched it tightly and turned around, using a swift motion to sprinkle a white powder onto the chicken leg. The powder was instantly melted by the oil, and all of this happened in just three seconds. Tao Tao walked away, a sly glint flashing in his eye. The blade of grass he had picked up earlier was something he had discovered unintentionally - it was normally harmless, but when mixed with liquor, it would cause someone to have diarrhea for a day. Meanwhile, the three people in the backyard were still eating their chicken legs, savoring the flavor and occasionally taking another sip of wine...
