Moreover, their clothes looked rather old.

"Pah, pah, pah, I didn't expect you to still be so incorrigible."

Danzhu complained, but then took the clothes from Ling Xi and laughed, "But we can't do anything about it. After all, it's hard to get fabric in this era. We can't exactly wear animal skins, can we? Uh... no, if you hadn't come soon, we probably really would have to wear animal skins soon."

"Thanks."

Cangxuan politely said thank you, and a smile appeared on her face. Clearly, having new clothes to wear, especially underwear, made her very happy.

After all, it's really impossible for people who are used to modern life to suddenly return to a primitive era, let alone girls.

"Sister, let's go take a bath."

With that, Danzhu pulled Cangxuan toward the small lake on the mountaintop.

Where are you going?

Ling Xi looked somewhat puzzled. Taking a shower outside instead of at home? Are you planning to take a shower outside and then be caught by the main character in a very dramatic way?

Um... although such melodramatic plots probably didn't exist in this primitive era.

But won't you catch a cold if you wash with cold water like that?

"Hehe, shall we go wash in the little lake on the mountaintop?"

Danzhu, with a smug look on his face, laughed and said, "There are two lakes on the mountaintop. The larger lake is a normal lake, but the smaller lake next to it... well, let me tell you a secret, that's a hot spring!"

Ling Xi: "???"

"Spa?"

Ling Xi immediately understood. No wonder these two didn't catch a cold; they must have a hot spring! So...

"Cough cough!"

Ling Xi coughed lightly and deliberately smiled, "Then... can I come along? I haven't been to a hot spring in ages, and I think... given our relationship, you definitely won't refuse, right?"

Ling Xi looked at the two of them with a half-smile, intending to tease them.

Ling Xi naturally anticipated the outcome; she would be rejected without hesitation. After all, only a fool would agree to such a request. However...

"Eh..."

"This..."

They were both looking at each other, seemingly waiting for the other to speak.

To be honest, they certainly wanted to refuse; after all, how could girls let boys in while they were showering? But...

They didn't dislike Ling Xi, after all, the three of them had a very good relationship Previous Era. However... because of Ling Xi's special identity, even if they had some thoughts, they could only hide them, since the Doctor was too terrifying.

When they chose to carry out Project Fireseed, their main motivation was actually their reluctance to part with Ling Xi. However, due to the rebellion, they believed that Ling Xi might not be able to come back, which is why they chose to carry out Project Fireseed.

And now...

Ling Xi not only returned, but she was right before their eyes, and in this era...

Not only is the Doctor absent, but Elysia and her senior sister are also missing, so...

"Hmm... Sister, what do you think?"

Danzhu asked Cangxuan a question.

"Why don't you tell me, little sister?"

Cangxuan decisively kicked the ball back.

Danzhu "..."

Cangxuan "..."

"Hey... I was just joking, I didn't mean anything by it, don't overthink it. Um... you guys should go take a shower, I'll wait for you at home."

Seeing that the two seemed a little embarrassed, Ling Xi quickly explained, afraid that they might think she was threatening them, for example...

Holding a bowl of instant noodles and an iced cola in his hand, he said to the two men with a threatening look, "You two don't want to go without instant noodles and iced cola in the future, do you?"

Ling Xi speechless. In short, she didn't want to be misunderstood as a pervert by these two!

"Eh..."

"Hmm..."

Hearing Ling Xi's words, the two of them were stunned for a moment, then rolled their eyes at Ling Xi, took hands and turned to leave!

"Wait a moment."

Ling Xi called the two of them back, then took out two sets of toiletries and said with a smile, "Don't forget this."

"Thanks..."

This time, Danzhu didn't continue complaining.

Wow, you can even say thank you?

Ling Xi then deliberately laughed and said, "It seems that our relationship has faded. You know, if it were the old Danzhu, she would definitely have snatched it away and then complained, 'Why didn't you take it out sooner?', right?"

"Hey... hehe, then I won't be so polite to you from now on."

Danzhu smiled too, not expecting... Ling Xi was still the same as before!

Wait a minute, even though tens of thousands of years have passed here, only a week has Ling Xi there. They must be the same!

Okay, time to take a shower...

As the two little darlings went to take a bath, Ling Xi also went to the platform on the cliff to prepare to build a house. Although the cave was considered the most cost-effective and safest dwelling at that time, however...

Now that I have the means, I should build a house. After all, a house is always more comfortable than a cave.

Moreover, he had already spent all the tens of millions he had borrowed from Da Wei Ge Dawei, and the purchased supplies naturally included some products of modern industry, such as...

ALC modular house!

Therefore, all materials are prefabricated, and no concrete is needed. The whole process only requires assembly, and at most some mortar or waterproofing materials are used!

Only...

After examining the dozens of precast reinforced concrete slabs in front of him, and then looking at the hundreds of assembly parts, and finally at the assembly steps of the finished house, Ling Xi fell into deep thought...

"Forget it, let's go to the cave."

After fiddling with it for almost half an hour, Ling Xi gave up decisively because it was just too complicated and the blueprints made her dizzy.

And even though I'm Fused Warrior and don't really need mechanical assistance, but...

I can't handle this by myself. As for those two girls, forget it. With their skinny arms and legs, I wouldn't even want them to do odd jobs on the construction site. Besides... I can't possibly let those two pretty girls do construction work, so...

A cave is fine, it can provide shelter from the wind and rain!

There's nothing I can do. I'm all alone, and it will take me at least a week to set up this prefabricated house, unless I can find two college students to help me!

"Um?"

Suddenly, Ling Xi sensed a familiar presence and immediately looked behind her.

"Who are you..."

Not far behind Ling Xi, a girl with red and white hair stood there, looking at Ling Xi with shock in her eyes.

When Ling Xi saw the other person, a smile appeared on her face...

Chapter 484: Could people slurp noodles in ancient times?

The girl silently watched Ling Xi, while Ling Xi smiled back at the girl, and finally...

"What, Hua, don't you recognize me after all these years?"

Ling Xi greeted the girl in front of her with a smile, because the girl standing before her was none other than Hua, one of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, and also...

The future Fu Hua!

"Oh..."

Hua smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I... I didn't expect you to be able to come back to this world. It's been a long time, Ling Xi."

"Yes, it has indeed been a long time."

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "Hua, come and sit down for a while, we can talk slowly."

"Okay, sure."

Hua nodded, not refusing, and was about to invite Ling Xi to sit in the cave, but then...

Ling Xi conjured up a set of table and chairs, then took out some snacks, and finally a cup of lemon tea!

Magnificent"???"

"I know you have a lot of questions you want to ask, and I will answer them for you slowly."

Seeing Hua's surprised look, Ling Xi was already used to it. After all, the other two girls were about the same, or even more surprised. Compared to them, Hua was relatively calm.

"You've met those two people?"

Hua couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, and at the same time guessed that Ling Xi must have met those two people. After all, Cangxuan almost never left his house, so it was impossible that Ling Xi hadn't met them since he had come here.

"Um."

Ling Xi nodded gently and smiled, "I had already met them before, and then gave them a change of clothes. Now they've gone to the hot springs at the top of the mountain."

"Uh... okay."

Hua couldn't help but rub her forehead; after all, she was a girl.

"Hua, they've already told me what happened after I left, and as for me..."

Ling Xi handed the brewed lemon tea to Hua and said with a smile, "This is what happened... After I returned to my world..."

Afterwards, Ling Xi briefly recounted her experience to Hua, without hiding anything. Of course, Ling Xi embellished the part about borrowing money from Da Wei Ge a little, since she was the one who had imprisoned him!

"So it's really lucky that we can see each other again."

After hearing Ling Xi's answer, Hua couldn't help but smile. It could only be said that fate is truly strange, and all sorts of coincidences came together to bring about this meeting.

"If they said that to me, then forget it, so please don't say it either."

Ling Xi couldn't help but laugh, "You are Fused Warrior has activated the Hypervariable Factor, and your Hypervariable Factor is a very special kind. If you don't deliberately court death, I think you can easily live for 100,000 years."

"But this is a long wait, I think..."

Hua smiled slightly and said, "If things go according to plan, we should meet again at least three thousand years from now. I'm not sure if I'll forget you by then, after all... time can erase everything."

"Hmm... that's true."

Ling Xi scratched his head and did not refute. After all, the reason why Immortal Fu Hua in the original work did not remember anything was probably due to the fact that too much time had passed, in addition to the reason of Feathered Dust!

A normal lifespan, at most a hundred years, is short enough for people to forget most things. And Fu Hua ...

She has lived from the ancient times of Yanhuang to the present day, nearly five thousand years. If Fu Hua really still remembers everything, then she shouldn't be called Fu Hua, but should be called... Index!

"Hua, don't you like to eat? I have plenty of supplies, enough for us to eat for a lifetime."

Ling Xi noticed that Hua was just silently drinking lemon tea without eating anything, which made Ling Xi a little curious.

After all, the way those two ate before was almost the same as when they were first released.

So Ling Xi added, "By the way, Hua, I remember you seem to really like noodles. Do you want some? I can make you some noodles."

Ling Xi remembered very well what Hua liked to eat, especially Previous Era when Kevin and Hua often teamed up to slurp noodles, making them the noodle-slurping duo among the Thirteen Flame-Chasers.

"Hmm? Is... is that okay?"

Upon hearing the words "in front of me," even Hua, who had been relatively calm, became somewhat tempted.

Unfortunately, in this day and age, forget about noodles, even flour is hard to come by. After all, many crops are still in a wild state and are simply not suitable for human processing and consumption, so...

The three of them ate mainly meat, fruit, and a small amount of homegrown vegetables!

The crop seeds left behind by the previous Previous Era are basically no longer able to be planted, after all... 50,000 years have passed!

So, when Hua heard that Ling Xi could actually prepare noodles for him in this kind of environment, he could no longer remain calm!

"Hehe, of course."

Ling Xi smiled slightly, then took out the integrated stove, then the gas stove, connected it with the gas pipe, took out the wok, poured in mineral water to clean it, and then added water!
