As the Fengzu Qiyun was stabilized under the sandwich attack from Yin Shang Qiyun and Xiqi Qiyun, Deng Chanyu felt the pressure within her easing up as if she were dying, as if a sense of terrible despair had vanished in an instant. Hua Shun, who had been chasing her down like Sherlock Holmes for eight streets, now also pursued her on another path.
The Xuan Niao of Yin Shang and the Fenghuang of Xi Qi are both fake, but her phoenix is the real deal, even if it's smaller, it is still a phoenix.
Seeing her inner Ji Guo power being depleted due to this inexplicable encounter, she is very annoyed.
With her innate ability, she controls the unique energy within her divided body and collides with something that has been pressuring her with all her might. The size of the opponent is many times greater than hers, but it is very "weak", and she manages to "crack" it in one hit.
The sensations returned from the split bodies felt like soaking in a hot spring or sinking into cotton candy.
She continued to follow her instincts, manipulating her split body to gather a large cloud of cotton candy, which she then swallowed in one go.
Deng Chanyu tasted it and found that it was neither salty nor bland, with no distinct flavor. The key is that there were no visible changes in the growth of her split body, none at all.
"Strange, what is it? Hmm?"
Suddenly, Deng Chanyu felt something unusual under her feet. Since she had been kicking stones to traverse, her toes were particularly sensitive, so she immediately stopped and bent down to look.
And she saw a beautifully embroidered satchel that she had stepped on, picked it up, weighed it for a moment, and found that there were actually several copper coins inside.
She has picked up money!
Not a large amount, but still a pleasant surprise.
Deng Chanyu was overjoyed, but this joy quickly turned to panic, because she had found five satchels along the way, each filled with coins, in less than two miles.
Liu Bei weaves mats and sells shoes, his elder predecessors are selling noodles and weaving fences of Jiangziyao. This nickname, not unexpectedly, was shouted out by Deng Jiugong on the battlefield.
According to the demands of the 68-year-old maiden Ma Shi, Jiangziyao sells noodles and weaves sieves, making just a few coins, which is enough for them to live in the capital of Chang'e. This indicates that the purchasing power of copper coins in those days was not low.
Deng Chanyu picked up almost a hundred coins, which is no longer a matter of luck. If we talk about luck, why didn't she pick up any before?
"Boatman!" She was a bit nervous and prepared to change the means of transportation. Seeing a small boat pass by in front of her, she hurriedly stopped the other party.
The old man rowing the boat looked at her.
Deng Chanyu weighed her words carefully: "My mother is seriously ill, and I want to visit her outside the city. However, I happen to have a weak leg, so I don't know......"
The old man was somewhat hesitant: "Young Sir, the ladies on our boat are not suitable for company."
A rather gentle voice soon came from the cabin: "Sū Bó, it's fine. Please let the young master aboard."
The old man stared at someone who looked very "oily and smooth-skinned," giving her an eye expression of "Be careful, I will always watch you."
Entering the cabin, Deng Chanyu was startled to see a woman with exquisite beauty sitting in the cabin.
The woman exuded a captivating aura from head to toe. Her beauty was unparalleled, her skin smooth and delicate like jade, her eyes calm yet bright, her eyebrows alluring and captivating. With long, shapely legs, a body that was graceful and curvaceous, a slender waistline, she seemed like the most perfect work of art in the world. Every detail of her limbs radiated unique charm. When she noticed Deng Chanyu's gaze fixed on her, the woman's mouth curved into a gentle smile.
Deng Chanyu's own appearance was already a rare beauty. After obtaining the phoenix's split, her temperament was further improved. However, compared to this woman, her appearance was clearly inferior.
If her appearance was scored at 95, the woman in the cabin was probably around 98 or 99.
Could it be a monster? She scanned with the consciousness of her split, and found that it really wasn't; unless the monster was of a very high level, it would be impossible to evade the consciousness of such a divine beast as the phoenix.
"Miss Ji, you can sit down and rest." The woman said very demurely.
Ji? Such an odd surname? Deng Chanyu couldn't think of any beautiful women in the Shengdian era who had such a surname, and this was not an unusual name or custom in the North, where their customs and surnames differed from those in the South.
"I am Deng, and I apologize for my earlier impoliteness, Miss."
"The young master is already one of the most enlightened people in the world, and because of this appearance, I have caused trouble for many......"
The space inside the cabin was not large, and there was a distance of half a meter between the two. Deng Chanyu sat with an air of composure, as if she couldn't be ruffled. Of course, it wasn't possible to be ruffled now...
Due to the reasons of the hundred birds gathering to worship the Phoenix, the entire Southern Capital was in chaos. The son of Nan Bosing, Hu Shun, was still leading troops all over the city to pursue Deng Chanyu and other high-level officials' families and descendants, hoping to use these people as hostages and negotiate with possible negotiations with Changge's army. That is, if Gao Lanying hadn't died, she would also be on this list of pursuit.
The beautiful woman occasionally glanced out the window, and her expression was full of uncontrollable worry.
Deng Chanyu understood. So, you too are on the run!
The woman kept looking outside and coughed twice forcefully.
She was about to introduce her own experiences of running away but had to swallow them back. "Miss Ji, with the crisp autumn breeze, please take care of your health," she said in a very upright and gentlemanly manner.
The beautiful woman smiled gently, "It's an old problem, something I've had since I was in my mother's womb, according to the doctor."
Deng Chanyu doesn't believe this theory. "A disease carried from the mother's womb? That's just lack of exercise! Just take a look at the people who practice with stone weights for half a year, and all kinds of diseases will be cured!"
This conversation could not be said directly, nor could it be demonstrated on the spot "Deng public official uprooted the willow tree", she racked her brains and soon came up with a saying that suited her "scholar".
There is an alternative medicine you can try, Miss Ji. Well... I have a cousin named Xue who has been frail since childhood. After being taught by an eccentric person with the surname Cao, she was instructed to grind twelve liang of the pistils from white peonies, white lotus flowers, white osmanthus flowers, and white plum blossoms. She then mixed these with twelve qian of rain from the Rain Water season, dew from the White Dew season, frost from the Cold Dew season, and snow from the Light Snow season, along with honey and sugar to make pills as large as dragon's eyes. These pills were placed in a container and buried under the roots of flower trees for a year. When she falls ill, she can take one pill with a decoction made from twelve parts of phellodendron bark. This medicine is called Lengxiang Pill (Cold Fragrance Pill).
The beautiful woman clearly identifies herself as a cultural and artistic young woman, and she is very receptive to this. Upon hearing the mention of snow and rain, she felt like she had found the elixir of life.
As if she felt that reciting the formula of Lengxiang Pill was disrespectful to it, she took out paper and pen, held her wrist with the brush in hand, and recorded the recipe of the cold fragrance pill again.
Deng Chanyu watched through the desk, and indeed, Miss Ji's handwriting was very good, much better than her own.
"In the future, if she becomes successful, we can hire her as our secretary. She is gentle, attractive, and her speaking voice is nice. She looks like she has a serious illness, and maybe she will die before retirement. We can save on retirement benefits..."
