As the three of them chatted, they quickly returned to the lake island villa.
When she passed by the dilapidated house next door, Yu Huang saw that the rusty iron door was locked, but she subconsciously looked inside.
Yu Huang could vaguely see a figure flash past the room, so she hurriedly said to Ye Qingyang, “Stop.”
Ye Qingyang stopped the car.
Yu Huang jumped out of the car and turned around to say to the two people in the car, “I’ll go see the professor. You guys can go back first.”
As Ye Qingyang glanced into the room, he hesitated about whether to go in with her or find an opportunity later. After thinking for a while, he said to Yu Huang, “Invite Professor Song over for a meal tonight.”
Yu Huang nodded.
She thought of something and asked in surprise, “You’ll cook?” Living in the villa area was good, but they had to cook themselves.
Ye Qingyang nodded and replied, “Yes, I’ll cook.”
Yu Huang raised her eyebrows. Sheng Xiao looked at Ye Qingyang in shock and asked dubiously, “You can cook?”
Ye Qingyang rolled his eyes. “I’m a ghostly cultivator, but I’m not a ghost. I need to eat too.” He asked Sheng Xiao, “What do you think I’ve eaten all these years?”
After Sheng Xiao thought about it, he agreed. He felt that his and Yu Huang’s reactions were too exaggerated.
“I hope it doesn’t taste too bad.” Yu Huang couldn’t help but pray.
Ye Qingyang sneered. “I’ll poison you all to death.”
After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator and drove towards his house.
After the car stopped at the entrance of the house, Ye Qingyang turned on the car’s repositioning system and watched as the car slowly drove back to the parking area. Seeing that Yu Huang was still standing at the entrance of Professor Song’s house and had not entered, he reminded her, “Don’t forget to have dinner together.”
“Okay.”
Yu Huang turned around and walked to the iron door. Seeing that the iron door was ajar, she reached out and gently pushed it. Then, the door opened with a creaking sound.
Professor Song was holding a hoe and bending down to clean the ‘weed’ in the courtyard.
Despite hearing the door open, he couldn’t be bothered to turn around.
“Professor Song.” After Yu Huang closed the door and walked to Professor Song’s side, she handed him a paper box. “I bought you flowers and pancakes.”
Only then did Professor Song stop what he was doing.
He stared at the pancake in Yu Huang’s hand as he said, “You bought it at the aeroplane station on the Myriad Sea Island?”
“You know this place too?” Yu Huang was rather happy, since she thought that she had bought a delicious biscuit that Professor Song liked.
Professor Song clicked his tongue and pointed at the signature at the bottom right corner of the box as he said, “Are you stupid? Isn’t the name Myriad Sea Island written here?”
Yu Huang was speechless.
After Professor Song handed the hoe in his hand to Yu Huang, he took the box of flatbread and walked into the room. As he walked, he said, “The climate of the Myriad Sea Island is mild all year round, and there are many types of flowers. These flower flatbread are considered famous delicacies on the Myriad Sea Island. However, these flower flatbread aren’t as delicious as before.”
Professor Song had already entered the house. Yu Huang heard him turning on the tap and washing his hands.
After a while, Professor Song carried the paper box to the outside of the living room. After he sat down on the stone door in front of the living room, he opened the box and took out a biscuit to eat.
As he ate, he said, “A few years ago, there were no aeroplane or maglev trains on the Myriad Sea Island. At that time, trains were the most popular mode of transportation on the continent. I remember that there was a freshly baked flower pancake at the entrance of the train station. It was delicious, sweet, and soft. I loved eating it.”
The trains on the Cang Lang Continent had long stopped production. The era trains were popular was more than a thousand years ago.
“However, the woman who made the pancakes was a civilian who died not long after. Her daughter later sold pancakes in front of the original stall for a few years, but after she earned enough money, she switched to a more stable job and stopped. From then on, I was no longer able to eat this pancake.”
“Oh, right.” Professor Song suddenly raised his head and glanced at Yu Huang as he said, “One year, the inner academy planned to go to the Myriad Sea Island to get rid of a super evil demon beast. I was the leader of that mission.”
Yu Huang leaned against the hoe as she stared at Professor Song, who was quietly recalling the past. She knew that Professor Song had never been an old man who liked to recount the past, so he must have an ulterior motive for specifically mentioning this.
As expected, Yu Huang heard Professor Song say, “That year, the people who went out with me to do missions were all cream of the crop in the inner academy. Dongfang Brulee, Chu Xiaoyue, and Zhan Jiuxiao all participated in that mission.”
Yu Huang’s beautiful eyes widened slightly, and her heart skipped a beat. After she put down the hoe and sat down on the hoe’s pole, she asked curiously, “What happened after that?”
“Under my supervision, the young people went through great hardships to successfully complete that assessment. When we took the train back, in order to reward these little fellows, I bought a few boxes of flowers and pancakes for them to reward them.”
“They all liked to eat these pancakes very much. Chu Xiaoyue liked the taste of matcha the most, while Dongfang Brulee liked the exquisite and beautiful peony pancakes. Because Zhan Jiuxiao was allergic to flower pancakes, he can only eat plain pancakes.”
“Just because people from our inner academy had eaten the shop’s flatbread, many people came to buy it as well and that shop’s business was extremely good. Later, in order to thank the inner academy for helping her business, before the Sacrifice Festival every year, she would send a few boxes of flowers and flatbread over for the students to try.”
With that, Professor Song started eating the pancake.
After Yu Huang heard this, she said, “Professor Song, you want to tell me that the famous Prime Emperor Jiuxiao is actually allergic to flowers.”
Professor Song said, “I didn’t say anything.”
Yu Huang smiled.
She said, “Flower cakes are a specialty of the Myriad Sea Island. The people of the Divine Miracle Continent don’t like to make those things, so no one eats them. I wonder if Prime Emperor Jiuxiao’s allergy to flower cakes has improved.”
Yu Huang had an idea.
Professor Song couldn’t bear to finish the pancake in one bite, so he saved two pieces. Seeing that Yu Huang had been looking at him, Professor Song explained, “I’ll keep one for you and one for Taixu.”
Yu Huang smiled. “Thank you, Professor.”
She walked forward and picked up the pancake in the box. As she ate, she said, “Professor, when I took leave this time, not only did I go to the Myriad Sea Island, but I also went to the Demon Beast Continent.”
“Yes.” Although Professor Song had long lost the Eternal Eye, he had created the divination technique, so even without the Eternal Eye, he could predict many things.
The moment Yu Huang returned, Professor Song knew that she had gone to the Demon Beast Continent.
However…
“How did you successfully convince that old fart from the unicorn clan?” As the former overlord of the three thousand worlds, the Demon Beast Continent’s spatial barrier was the strongest.
The only person who could successfully smuggle Yu Huang and the others into the Demon Beast Continent was that old unicorn from the unicorn clan.
“We exchanged the whereabouts of the Fire Unicorn with him.” Yu Huang didn’t hide the existence of the Fire Unicorn from Professor Song.
Yu Huang looked up at Professor Song and said, “Professor, you knew that the Fire Unicorn would appear, right?”
“I vaguely sensed it, but I didn’t know which world the Fire Unicorn would be born in or which year it would be born in.” Professor Song asked Yu Huang, “Are you good friends with that Fire Unicorn?”
“Yes, we’ve been through fire and water together many times, so we’re very close.”
Nodding, Professor Song said, “That’s good.”
“Professor, do you still remember Mo Xiao?” Yu Huang asked.
Professor Song narrowed his eyes as he thought about it carefully. Then, he shook his head in confusion and asked, “Who is that?”
Yu Huang pitied Mo Xiao. Then, she said, “Hundreds of years ago, you met a man who ascended from a small world in the Ascension Town of the Divination Continent. He was a nine-tailed fox clansman and a black fox. You even taught him divination…”
Upon hearing Yu Huang mention the Ascension Town of the Divination Continent and the information about the nine-tailed fox, Professor Song recalled that he had indeed met such a person hundreds of years ago.
Nodding in realization, Professor Song said, “So his name is Mo Xiao. I couldn’t remember his name, so I’ve always called him Black Bastard.”
Yu Huang was speechless.
Black brat.
This form of address suited her godfather’s image.
“He’s my Godfather.” Yu Huang wanted to see if Professor Song would be surprised or amazed by the wonders of fate.
However, Professor Song only acknowledged it calmly and didn’t say anything else.
