Crossing the Sword

Chapter 131 Picnic Jokes

Ye Shisan was going to take Baiyu for a picnic, but he unexpectedly got a piece of jade the size of a millstone. Although he hadn't had time to confirm it, he knew it was a treasure. However, all natural treasures are guarded by spiritual creatures. Just as Ye Shisan was overjoyed, a huge green snake suddenly pounced on him and bit him.

At this time, Ye Shisan was in midair and the situation came suddenly. He was so startled that he had no time to take out the imperial sword to fight. He hurriedly changed the true energy in his body from green to turbid, and under the gravity of the jade, he immediately fell three feet, narrowly escaping the snake's bite.

Then, Ye Shisan concentrated his strength on his arms, and thrust the jade in his hand, hitting the green snake right on the "vital point".

"Bang!" With one blow, the green snake was hit in the vitals and was knocked back into the water. Ye Shisan also used the force to retreat and landed next to the white jade, then put the jade down.

"It's exquisite pure jade." Bai Yu took a look and said calmly, "This kind of jade is absolutely a rare treasure for practitioners. If you sit on it to practice, you can clear some distracting thoughts and obstacles, and it also has a very good nourishing effect on your skills. When you meditate and practice, the speed of improvement of your skills is two to three times that of usual times."

Although Ye Shisan was delighted, he was also a little surprised by Bai Yu's performance. This exquisite jade is as beautiful as its name, exquisite and transparent, much more beautiful than ordinary gems. Such a beautiful jade would be very scary for a girl. If a girl could hold back from screaming, it would be considered very good. But Bai Yu was not moved at all, which shows that she is indeed different from ordinary women and deserves the name of a fairy.

As they were talking, the green snake in the water rushed out again and pounced on Ye Shisan and the others. At this moment, Bai Yu had also adapted to it and was no longer as scared as before, but she still hated being approached by snakes, so before Ye Shisan could make a move, she struck out with a bolt of lightning, hitting the target.

The green snake was electrocuted and felt numb all over. It fell to the ground with a plop and twitched continuously. It seemed that although this green snake was spiritual, it would not live long and had no special abilities. The lightning and thunder from Bai Yu was not very powerful, but it could easily deal with this green snake.

"Spiritual Contract? Collect!" Zhang Tianya saw that the green snake had temporarily lost its ability to resist, and Baiyu hated it very much. If she killed it like this, she would probably not be able to have a picnic. So he immediately used the cleanest method to collect it into the demon refining pot, so that Baiyu would not have to see it and would not be bothered by it.

After killing the green snake, Ye Shisan secretly said it was a pity. Although the green snake looked ferocious, it would be a delicious delicacy if it was cooked well. It was a pity that Bai Yu would not dare to eat a bite of the delicacy made with snake meat, no matter how delicious it was. He had no choice but to continue catching fish and grilling fish.

While sprinkling the seasoning, he turned the fish over the fire rhythmically to keep the heat even. Ye Shisan found that Bai Yu was still a little unhappy. So he persuaded her, "You look unhappy. You should know that my outdoor barbecue skills are absolutely first-class. I guarantee that after you eat one, you will want a second one."

Bai Yu still shook his head, and said with difficulty: "No, the snake I saw just now was too scary, I can't eat it."

Ye Shisan shook his head and said, "You are just scaring yourself. Isn't it better not to think about it? It's not like you saw a sky burial. What's there to be unhappy about?"

"Sky burial?" Bai Yu asked hurriedly, "What is sky burial?"

"Well, ha..." Ye Shisan couldn't say it. Bai Yu couldn't eat anything to begin with. If he described the sky burial to her in detail, she would probably not eat anything for a month. He laughed and changed the subject immediately: "How about this, I'll tell you a few jokes to distract you, so you won't feel so bad."

"Oh?" Bai Yu cooperated this time and asked with great interest, "What's the joke?"

"Ahem..." Zhang Tianya cleared his throat and said, "Once upon a time there was a prince who was cursed. The curse was so vicious that he could only speak one word a year."

After hearing what Ye Shisan said, Bai Yu actually interrupted and said, "The curse you are talking about should be the curse of Chi Xie of the Jiuli tribe. Among the masters I know, he is the only one who is best at cursing. However, there are not many opportunities to use such curses on the battlefield, and if you find my mother, any curse can be easily solved."

Ye Shisan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Princess Baiyu, you have no sense of humor, don't you? The so-called jokes are of course fake, just for laughs. You can actually deduce from them, I admire you so much, my title of the number one expert in solving crimes should be given to you."

"Haha." Bai Yu smiled and said, "I am too serious. Mr. Ye, please continue."

Ye Shisan continued, "Then the prince fell in love with a princess, but he couldn't say it out loud. So he waited for the princess for five years. Five years later, he found the princess again and said to her..." At this point, Ye Shisan turned his gaze to Bai Yu and continued gently, "Princess, I love you!" Bai Yu's face immediately turned red when she heard it. Just as she was about to refute, she heard Ye Shisan continue, "The princess said...'What?'"

Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, then laughed without caring about his image. After laughing for a while, he reluctantly said, "That prince is so unlucky!"

Ye Shisan had not come to tease Bai Yu on purpose. He just saw that Bai Yu looked unhappy and wanted to distract her. Now that he saw that the effect had been achieved, he sent a grilled fish to her and said, "This fish is already grilled. Princess, please taste it."

Seeing his laughing face, Bai Yu was not angry at his offense just now. He took the fish and said, "Okay, but you have to tell me a few more jokes. It's really funny."

Ye Shisan nodded and said, "Okay, there was an emperor who went out of the palace to observe the people's sentiments. When he arrived at a small mountain village, he asked a child, 'What do you do every day?' The child replied, 'Eat, go to school, sleep, and play Doudou.' Then he asked several children in a row, and the answers were all the same. Until he asked the last child, the child only replied, 'Eat, go to school, and sleep.' The emperor was very surprised and asked him, 'Don't you play Doudou?' The child said angrily, 'I am Doudou!'"

"Ha ha…"

...

The picnic ended in a joyful atmosphere, and Ye Shisan and Bai Yu continued on their way to Gonggong Terrace. Through these jokes, the relationship between the two of them became closer. They talked and laughed along the way, but they didn't feel tired.
