Simultaneous Transmigration: Freedom Across the Heavens

Chapter 84 Departure, Encounter with Wild Chickens

The next day, a sliver of dawn appeared.

In Yue Lingshan's boudoir, the two slept in each other's arms.

Bai Li had already woken up. Looking at the trembling eyelids of the girl in his arms, he saw through her feigned sleep. A faint smile appeared on his lips, and he gently stroked her hand.

The girl's breathing grew more rapid, her chest heaving slightly. She could no longer feign it, and grasped his hand, saying in a soft voice, "Senior brother, if you don't leave soon, the other senior and junior sisters will all get up!"

Bai Li knew what was important and what was urgent. If this matter were discovered, this girl would definitely never let him raid her at night again!

He leaned down and gently kissed the girl's fair forehead, saying softly, "Then I'll go first. You stay here on the mountain and don't come to see me off later."

Yue Lingshan raised her pretty face, her nose slightly wrinkled: "Why? I wanted to give it to you."

Bai Li lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "I'm afraid that when the time comes, I won't be able to resist hugging you again."

This game-winning shot pierced the girl's heart.

Her body trembled slightly, as if she wanted to melt into Bai Li's body. She rubbed her face against his chest and made a soft, indistinct whimpering sound, just like a spoiled little kitten.

After a long while, the first light of day broke through the darkness.

Bai Li stroked her hair: "If I don't leave now, it will really be too late."

"Mmm." Yue Lingshan bit her lip and reluctantly let go.

Bai Li got up, dressed, and sat down on the tatami mat to put on his shoes.

The girl suddenly hugged him from behind, her cheek pressed against his back, her voice tender and gentle: "Senior brother, I... I won't see you off. You must take good care of yourself and be careful. I'll be waiting for you to come back up the mountain."

She immediately let go after she finished speaking, turned her body around, turned her back to Bai Li, and pulled the quilt over herself, wrapping herself up tightly, not daring to look at him again.

A tender look appeared in Bai Li's eyes. What a wonderful girl, so pure and persistent.

My past life was so full of hardship, but in this life, thankfully I am here to save you. I have truly done a great deed.

The next second, as the window of the room opened and closed, a green shadow swept out of the room and disappeared into the morning mist in the blink of an eye.

On the soft couch, Yue Lingshan's eyes welled up with tears, which she forced back, and she murmured, "It's only two or three months. With some martial arts practice, it will pass quickly."

As dawn broke, outside the Zhengqi Hall...

Bai Li packed her luggage—wait a minute.

As for other things, when you're out in the world, you rely on friends and your own abilities. If you want something, you can naturally ask for it, borrow it, or take it.

Yue Buqun cautioned, "Eleven, on this trip to the capital, you must act with utmost caution and think thrice before you proceed. Do not act recklessly simply because you are highly skilled in martial arts. The capital is not like Hengyang; it is a place where hidden talents abound..."

On the surface, Zhi Baili smiled, but inwardly he was complaining: If you are highly skilled in martial arts, but you can't act recklessly, then what's the point of being highly skilled?

After rambling on for a while, Yue Buqun came to his senses and looked around: "Where's Lingshan? Why didn't that girl come to see Eleventh off?"

""

Ning Zhongze stepped forward and said calmly, "Ling Shan caught a cold yesterday and is not feeling well, so she won't be coming."

After saying that, Ning Zhongze glared at Bai Li. As a mother, how could she not understand her daughter's little tricks?

From Yue Lingshan's subconscious actions, she guessed that the two of them must have crossed some kind of boundary.

Otherwise, given Ling Shan's personality, she would never have made such an intimate gesture.

Fortunately, Ning Zhongze subtly inquired and learned that the two had not yet taken the final step, which relieved her slightly.

Even so, no matter how she looked at Bai Li, she just couldn't stand him.

Yue Buqun nodded in agreement. It was better if they didn't come; it would only be two or three months anyway, and it would save him from seeing the two of them bickering in front of him, which would be annoying.

Little did he know that it wasn't just pulling, it was already stretching.

Bai Li was a shrewd man. He could tell from Ning Zhongze's eyes that this mistress knew at least most of the situation, and he couldn't help but awkwardly touch his nose.

He immediately cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Master and Mistress, please take care. This disciple will be right back."

After speaking, the green figure drifted down Jade Maiden Peak and disappeared into the distance at the end of the mountains in an instant.

Yue Buqun smiled and stroked his beard: "Eleven's martial arts have actually improved again."

Ning Zhongze stood with his hands behind his back: "You little rascal, now you know what shame is."

The distance between Mount Hua and Kyoto is thousands of miles.

Bai Li traveled blissfully to Kyoto, stopping frequently along the way to enjoy the scenery and mountains.

On this day, I passed through a certain place.

Wild Chicken Town.

High-end ingredients often require only the simplest cooking methods.

Similarly, this simple name reveals the extraordinary nature of this town.

Every household in this town is skilled at cooking chicken: shredded chicken, poached chicken, spicy chicken, braised chicken, chicken stew with mushrooms, and chicken soup with cordyceps and ginseng.

His chicken-making skills are renowned far and wide, and the aroma wafts for miles, attracting a constant stream of gourmets and connoisseurs.

Recently, Yeji Town will hold a thousand-chicken banquet, where a thousand chickens will be served, and each household will show off their best skills to compete for the title of "Chicken King".

It is said that those who receive this title will be sought after by people in the martial arts world for the next year, and their businesses will prosper.

Bai Li happened to be passing by and, seeing such a lively scene, immediately decided to stop and savor this renowned whole chicken feast.

"Nine Chickens Under One Roof"

This shop is the most famous chicken shop in Wild Chicken Town.

Boss Ji Wudao has won the title of "Big Chicken Overlord" for five consecutive years.

Ji Wudao, true to his name, never uses a knife to kill or butcher chickens; he relies entirely on his unique skill of tearing chickens apart with his bare hands.

Their signature dish is the whole chicken feast, which offers nine ways to prepare a chicken, including stewing, boiling, roasting, frying, and braising.

It also comes with a side of salt-baked chicken gizzards as an appetizer, making a total of ten dishes, which can be called the best in Wild Chicken Town.

Bai Lixing rushed to the door of "Nine Chickens Under One Roof" restaurant, only to find the door tightly closed. Everyone who passed by looked down in regret.

What? Did the boss and his sister-in-law run away?

Bai Li reached out and stopped a sallow-skinned man, getting straight to the point: "Brother, may I ask why this shop is closed?"

Judging from the shape of this yellow-skinned man's mouth, what he's about to say isn't anything nice.

A flash of silver light streaked across the sky. The sallow-skinned man stared at the one or two taels of silver in his hand, grinned, and said, "Great hero, you don't know this, but this shop has encountered misfortune."

"Yesterday at noon, two burly men, one with dark skin and one with fair skin, came in and asked for hand-shredded chicken. Unexpectedly, after Boss Ji served the hand-shredded chicken, the two men only took one bite and said that the chicken was overcooked."

"What's behind here... sigh..."

The sallow-skinned man sighed heavily and said, "Later, those two actually grabbed Boss Ji's five-year-old child and cooked him right in front of everyone, saying that this was the authentic hand-shredded chicken."

"Boss Ji fainted in a fit of anger, and when he woke up, his hands were trembling uncontrollably."

"The doctor said he was so heartbroken that his blood and qi were flowing in the wrong direction, and he could no longer use his hands. It seems that Boss Ji's 'Nine Ways to Eat a Chicken' recipe will be lost forever."

Bai Li thanked the yellow-skinned man, stood there, and looked at the "Nine Chickens Under One Roof" sign. Suddenly, he felt that his thoughts were not clear.

Qingbai Temple is only three miles away from Yeji Town.

Bai Li unleashed his movement technique, his green shadow sweeping across the mountains and forests, arriving at the temple gate in half a minute.

He reached out and knocked on the door knocker.

The temple door was opened a crack, and a middle-aged nun peeked out, chanting the Buddhist mantra: "Amitabha."

"What brings you here, benefactor?"

Bai Li didn't waste any time. He took out a jade pendant from his pocket, handed it to the nun, and said, "I want to buy some information: the current location of the Northern Desert Duo."

"So you are a destined person, benefactor!" The nun took the jade pendant, turned it over, and rubbed it between her thumb and forefinger.

Bai Li said calmly, "I'll owe you for now."

The nun looked troubled: "If the benefactor doesn't burn incense, it's difficult for Buddha to show mercy!"

"I am a VIP..." Bai Li said without changing his expression. If a VIP doesn't have special privileges, then is he still a VIP?

Don't you know how you got this VIP status?

After all, it's an intelligence organization, and Ouyang Qing's little gossip has long been circulating wildly within the circle.

But rules are rules, and even VIPs who come lying down are still VIPs.

Helpless, the nun left with the words, "Please wait in the inner room, benefactor. I will be right back."

She then turned and left.

Unable to receive payment, the poor nun went to Ouyang Qing to ask for it.
