Intermission

"Great Sage, please retract your supernatural powers!"

Hearing the echoing shout from below, delivered with the force of Lion's Roar Skill or similar technique, Feng Xue's face darkened. She immediately descended from the clouds, looked at Chen Xiyao who had cupped her hands to her mouth, and tossed her the salt, saying:

"What kind of trouble are you up to now?"

"Huh?" Chen Xiyao's eyes widened in disbelief as she asked.

"Wasn't it you who caused all this trouble? Ouch!"

Chen Xiyao, who had just been hit on the forehead, exaggeratedly rubbed her head. Seeing this, Feng Xue patted the cloud at her feet and said:

"Come on up, I'll show you a fast ride."

"Is it okay? There won't be any weird setting where only people with pure hearts can stand there, right?" Chen Xiyao said somewhat uncertainly. Feng Xue grinned, feeling that the girl was insulting him.

"Stop with all the nonsense! Just tell me if you're coming or not!"

"Come! Of course I'll come!" Flying is humanity's ultimate dream, and Chen Xiyao certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity to soar through the clouds. However, as the white clouds rose into the sky, she seemed to remember something, her eyes widening as she said:

"Ah, you wouldn't happen to be... um, could you fly a little higher?"

"What are you thinking about all day long?"

Seeing Chen Xiyao's expression, Feng Xue instantly understood. She immediately piloted her Somersault Cloud back to the Tower of Babel, reaching the 107th floor before saying:

"You're a real person, not Weird Tale. I'll grant you Passage Right. If you need anything, just come find me directly. If I'm not here, leave a message at my place. And by the way, don't use the open door."

Entering the room through the newly opened side door, Feng Xue casually gave instructions. Chen Xiyao secretly memorized the taboo, then glanced at the fixed doors. Although she didn't know the specific reason, she had heard about the special nature of "doors" within the Infinite City, and immediately nodded.

The two exchanged words for a while, and after a long pause, Feng Xue finally spoke:

"By the way, how did you get into the Infinite City?"

"It's all your fault!" Chen Xiyao said helplessly as she straightened her clothes.

"The entire central ring of Infinite City is being brainwashed with the Cloud Palace Swift Sound. Even the Omen in the wilderness are starting to stir. When they saw it was you flying, the staff at the communication station didn't dare to speak up, so they brought me here. Speaking of which, are you planning to create some kind of Weird Tale Sun Wukong? Isn't it said that it's best to avoid such widely circulated legends?"

"Don't talk nonsense! I just got a new toy and want to play with it!" Feng Xue rolled her eyes at Chen Xiyao. It's fine for her to have some fun in the Infinite City, but if she were to cause trouble in a world like the real world where Sun Wukong is extremely famous, there might be a scene of True and False Monkey King!

Yes, ordinary Progenitor Supernatural Tale are just mental struggles, but the Weird Tale of Sun Wukong is an exception. If the Progenitor Supernatural Tale revived, then a mythological rebirth will directly take place.

"Why are you acting like a child!" Chen Xiyao muttered under her breath, then received another nudge from Feng Xue.

What do you mean by "acting like a child"?

As she spoke, Feng Xue took a twig from her pile of Miscellaneous Item and threw it on the table. Chen Xiyao, not even bothering to put on her dress yet, reached out and picked it up.

"What is this?" It wasn't until she held the branch in her hand that Chen Xiyao realized what it was. Her expression darkened as she looked at the thick, straight branch. She glanced down at it, and her face immediately turned red.

"What are you thinking? It's just a twig! Take this back to your workplace, throw it on the ground, and no matter if it's a leader or a lowly soldier, no matter how serious they are normally, any man will be unable to resist picking it up!"

Name: Phantom Object - Perfect Branch

Elements: [Weapon], [Toy], [Perfect], [Sturdy]

Description: A Perfect Branch can evoke feelings of childhood joy.

Note: When you pick it up, the rapeseed flowers for miles around will suffer!

"I don't really understand you men." Chen Xiyao waved the tree branch a couple of times, still somewhat Tough Talk. Feng Xue, however, looked at her with a strange expression and said:

"You, a girl who subconsciously picked it up and waved it around, have the right to say such things?"

"What?!" Chen Xiyao reluctantly put the branch back on the table, then picked up her four-dimensional dress and put it on before tightening her expression and asking the question she should have asked hours ago—

"So you really just wanted to show off your new toy?"

"Yeah! The Somersault Cloud! Don't you want to try it now that you've got it?" Feng Xue asked directly. Chen Xiyao hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to say "no" against her conscience.

After a brief silence, Feng Xue suddenly took out a gourd, poured out a golden pill, and handed it to Chen Xiyao, saying:

"You're lucky, here's a candy for you!"

"This thing doesn't look like jelly beans, does it?" Looking at the "jelly beans" with a metallic luster in her hand, which seemed to have excessive heavy metals, Chen Xiyao couldn't control her desire to complain, but out of trust, she still stuffed them into her mouth, and then...

"What the hell did you give me to eat?"

A wisp of white steam rose from above her head, seemingly forming lotus blossoms before quietly dissipating. Chen Xiyao looked bewildered and suddenly regretted eating him so readily.

"Golden Pills!" Feng Xue said matter-of-factly, then poured out a few more. In another month, he would be going to 121 with his group. If he didn't die, that would be fine. But if he used the resurrection item, these consumable Phantom Object would be refreshed. This gourd of Golden Pills was not a lot, but it was not a small amount either. It would be a waste to leave them unused, so Make the Best Use of Everything.

Chen Xiyao watched as Feng Xue poured out a handful of "golden pills" like beans, and she was completely dumbfounded. Thinking back to the Somersault Cloud and Cloud Palace Swift Sound from before, her eyes twitched involuntarily.

"Hey, you didn't rob Laojun, did you?"

"Almost." Feng Xue was too embarrassed to say that this was a prize from the cooking competition, so she stuffed a handful of golden pills into Chen Xiyao's hand.

Chen Xiyao looked at the golden pill in her hand, momentarily at a loss for words, and finally managed to say dryly:

"You gave it to me? So much? How am I supposed to use this!"

"Whatever you like. Take one and hand it over to Guo Jia, and take the rest home to make soup. Let me tell you, this stuff is incredibly fragrant. Add one to your hot pot or stewed ribs, and the taste is simply divine!"

"How wasteful would I be to use a golden pill to make soup?" Chen Xiyao looked at the golden pill in her hand, immediately pulled out a water cup from under her skirt, poured out all the water, then took out a tissue to wipe it clean before putting the golden pill in.

Ever since returning from Infinite City, she's developed a habit of stuffing her belongings under her skirt, and this time it's finally come in handy.

"One for Dad, one for Mom, and the rest are all handed over... Hmm, maybe we should keep one more. I wonder what the soup made with the Golden Elixir tastes like..."
