Chapter 254 Women's Taboos

Bai Li Yuan had never mentioned her origins to outsiders, but when she heard the orphan Ye Xiaochuan telling her origins, she felt pity for Ye Xiaochuan and wanted to tell her own origins.

She said: "My father is a fisherman in the East China Sea, and my mother is a pearl diver. When I was young, I lived in a fishing village and started to go to sea to collect pearls at the age of eight. In an accident, my mother's foot was caught by a big clam and died. My father also died in a sea breeze."

"When I was ten years old, I met my master, and she asked me if I wanted to practice Taoism. I asked my master, is there food to eat if I practice Taoism? The master stroked my hair with pity and smiled kindly. So I followed my master to Liubo Mountain in the depths of the East China Sea and lived in Liuyun Valley. I practiced Taoism for ten years and reached the out-of-body state, so I came to the human world to practice. This practice was another ten years, and my cultivation level reached the peak of the out-of-body state from the initial stage of the out-of-body state."

Ye Xiaochuan was counting something on his fingers.

Baili Yuan said, "My story is over. What are you doing?"

Ye Xiaochuan said, "You followed Fairy Liubo when you were ten years old. You studied Taoism for ten years and practiced for ten years. You are thirty years old this year!"

"Bang!"

Baili Yuan slapped Ye Xiaochuan on the back of his head. Before Ye Xiaochuan could react, Baili Yuan twisted his ear again.

Baili Yuan shouted angrily, "You little bastard, I know how old I am. If you dare to calculate my age in front of me again, I will castrate you!"

Ye Xiaochuan begged for mercy.

Baili Yuan twisted his ear fiercely for a few more times before letting go, saying, "You must not mention a woman's age in front of her! I'll teach you a lesson today!"

Ye Xiaochuan rubbed his painful ear and said, "What's the matter? Among the six fairies, you are not that old. As far as I know, Shangguan Yu is almost 40 years old. And Liu Huashang is also 36 or 37 years old. The youngest is Yun Qiyou, the female bandit, who is also in her early twenties. With your cultivation, living to 500 years old should not be a problem. 30 years old is very young, and there is still a long way to go in life..."

Baili Yuan gritted his teeth and twisted Ye Xiaochuan's ear again.

The two of them were like an old couple. They quarreled, but it was commonplace. They fought at the head of the bed and made up at the foot of the bed.

When the bonfire went out, the two stopped quarreling and began to work together to dig out three mud lumps from the mud under the bonfire.

After the three mud lumps were dug out, they cooled aside for a while. The two people stared at each other with their mouths watering.

When Ye Xiaochuan knocked open the hard mud layer and uncovered the lotus leaves wrapped inside, the air was immediately filled with a mouth-watering meaty aroma.

The reason why the beggar's chicken is so fragrant is that the cooking method of this delicacy is different from that of other food dishes. Usually people cook in an iron pot, adding oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, onion, ginger and garlic, and the fragrant meat also spreads its fragrance during the cooking process.

The beggar's chicken is different. The seasoning has been sprinkled on it in advance, then wrapped with lotus leaves, sealed with wet mud, and buried in the soil.

It is stewed bit by bit through the flames of the campfire.

During this process, because it is buried in the soil, the fragrance cannot be dispersed, and it all remains in the lotus leaves.

When the lotus leaves opened, Ye Xiaochuan and Baili Yuan suddenly felt the strong fragrance, and felt that the sky was bluer, the water was greener, and life was happier. The Demon Cult was no longer a concern. As long as there was the fragrant beggar chicken in front of them, nothing else mattered.

There were three mud lumps, two pheasants, and a fat rabbit.

These two were foodies. Of course, they knew that rabbits were greasy and were not suitable for cooking with the beggar chicken method. Although they were also fragrant, they were definitely not as good as pheasants.

So the two of them shook their cheeks, each holding a pheasant, biting and chewing with big mouthfuls, feeling that the life of a god was just like this.

Yang Linger was dressed in men's clothes, and the pink veil was taken off. Her extremely tight cheeks were breathtaking, and her skin was as white as cream. This man's outfit was surprisingly beautiful.

She was a little hungry, and her stomach was growling encouragingly. She was really a little uncomfortable with the days without any maids around to take care of her diet and daily life.

Now she opened her mouth but couldn't get food, stretched out her hand but couldn't get clothes.

But she didn't regret it.

She longed for freedom, just like an old beggar longed for a naked woman to fall from the sky.

She took the same road as Ye Xiaochuan and Baili Yuan. She was not short of money, so she spent three hundred taels of silver to buy a horse in the town.

In fact, the horse was not a tall horse from outside the pass, but a Yunnan horse from the south, which was not much bigger than a mule. The market price was at most thirty taels, and she was ripped off by the horse dealer.

Yang Ling'er camped at the other end of the woods, not far from Ye Xiaochuan and Baili Yuan's camp. She felt very hungry, so she caught a wild rabbit and made a bonfire.

She was a saint who never touched the water of spring water. She never went into the kitchen, and she didn't know how to skin and wash the rabbit. She found a stick and tied the poor rabbit to the stick, and then roasted it on the fire.

When roasting on the fire, the rabbit was still alive and kicking, and it took a long time to burn to death.

Then the rabbit was inedible and was burned into a piece of black charcoal.

At this time, she smelled a fragrance, and she knew it came from Ye Xiaochuan and Baili Yuan's camp.

She smelled the fragrance, swallowed her saliva, then looked at her blackened rabbit, and finally sighed, led the horse, and walked towards the campsite of Ye Xiaochuan and Baili Yuan.

Ye Xiaochuan and Baili Yuan were eating deliciously, when suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves on the ancient road. They looked up and saw a young man in purple riding a horse and walking towards them.

They were stunned for a moment.

The purple-clothed man under the moonlight had red lips and white teeth, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, skin whiter than frost and snow, and bright eyes like the kindest stars in the sky tonight.

Baili Yuan looked at the approaching handsome man, and then looked at Ye Xiaochuan who was stunned beside him, and couldn't help saying: "We are all men, how can there be such a big difference in appearance? Look at how handsome he is, and look at yourself... I can't bear to say you, you are just an abstract painting."

Ye Xiaochuan was furious and said: "I am not as good-looking as him, I admit it. But you are a woman, and you are not as good-looking as a man. You still have the nerve to say me, are you ashamed?"

Baili Yuan's expression froze, and she felt a little guilty.

This purple-clothed man who suddenly appeared was more beautiful than most women in the world. Baili Yuan was most proud of her figure, but she couldn't compare with a man to see who had bigger breasts, thinner waists, and more rounded buttocks, right?

Compared with this purple-clothed man, her skin was inferior first. Baili Yuan was the daughter of a pearl-diving girl, and her skin was not white, but wheat-colored, which was incomparable to Yang Ling'er.

Then on the face, Baili Yuan's face was a little round, similar to a baby face.

Yang Ling'er has a standard oval face, which is an important evaluation standard for peerless beauties.

In terms of looks, even Yang Ling'er, who is dressed as a man, is not inferior to Baili Yuan, which makes Baili Yuan feel insecure.
