111: If your majesty wants, I can
Chapter 111 If Your Majesty wishes to have it, I can.
The most important point is that the Essence Spirits and ghosts in this book are not all Yin spirits that suck pure Yang and seize people's essence, nor are people entirely righteous individuals who subdue demons and eliminate evil.
Whether human, Yin spirit, or demon, they all have flesh and blood, emotions and righteousness.
Pei Xuanji, a demon, had unknowingly become his most loyal reader.
Just recalling the pair of jade feet in the illustration, her expression couldn't help but turn strange.
"Why did Nie Xiaoqian use her foot to pull Ning Caichen out of the water?"
"Hmm?"
Hearing the Empress's question, Li Yunshu's mind immediately brought up that classic scene from the movie.
"What else would she use if not her foot?"
"She, she could have used her hand."
How could using her hand satisfy the group of perverts in front of the screen?
Of course, Li Yunshu wouldn't say this out loud.
"But the pier is quite far from the water, only a leg's length can reach it."
Seeing the Empress looking like she hadn't seen much of the world, he continued.
"What's so special about that? There are even women who use their jade feet to feed men wine."
"..."
Pei Xuanji opened her mouth, feeling that it made so much sense she couldn't refute it.
"Then Nie Xiaoqian in the illustration—"
Li Yunshu asked, feigning ignorance.
"Is there a problem with the illustration?"
"No problem, I just feel that Nie Xiaoqian and I bear some resemblance."
"I drew her according to Your Majesty's appearance."
"..."
Pei Xuanji never expected this guy to not even bother with an excuse, stating it so directly.
"Why draw her according to me?"
Li Yunshu's explanation was well-reasoned.
"Nie Xiaoqian is too beautiful; only Your Majesty's countenance can fully capture her beauty."
"What about Ning Caichen?"
Facing the Empress's inquiry, Li Yunshu was silent for a moment, then spoke word by word.
"Everyone appreciates beauty, does Your Majesty have a problem with that?"
"I—"
Hearing this answer, Pei Xuanji really wanted to say she had a problem, but she couldn't articulate what the problem was.
After all, it was just a drawing, and in reality, Li Yunshu had shown no inappropriate behavior towards her.
Of course, if this guy dared to, she would stomp him to death.
Li Yunshu thought for a moment and began to explain.
"I simply feel that only Your Majesty is worthy of being the female protagonist in my heart, and I have no other intentions."
He paused slightly, then continued.
"Of course, if Your Majesty wishes to have it, I can."
"..." Pei Xuanji stiffly changed the subject, "Are you finished writing?"
"Almost, almost."
By the time Pei Xuanji finished drinking the coconut juice on her leg, Li Yunshu looked up.
"That story is finished."
At this moment, what met his gaze was that striking pair of long legs.
The red long dress had slipped slightly to the middle, revealing most of those beautiful legs.
The slender, smooth calves were like autumn lotus roots, paired with delicate, soft, and tender jade-like skin and bones; if she were to put on a pair of high heels, it would be absolutely stunning!
Just as he wanted to get a clearer look, Pei Xuanji seemed to notice his gaze, and with a shake of her hand, her skirt covered her jade legs.
Li Yunshu regretfully withdrew his gaze and handed over the sketchbook.
Pei Xuanji, who had been waiting for a while, immediately threw the storybook in her hand aside with disdain, then flipped to Nie Xiaoqian's ending.
However, she quickly noticed something was wrong.
"Why didn't Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen end up together?"
Li Yunshu said as a matter of course.
"Aren't they together?"
Pei Xuanji's expression darkened slightly, her voice a little cold.
"Nie Xiaoqian Reincarnated, and you call that being together?"
"Their, their hearts are already together."
"Rewrite it!"
"I—"
No choice, couldn't win, so he had to obey.
Li Yunshu took the sketchbook, swept his Divine Sense over it, and erased the ending he had just written.
Then, he grafted the original ending onto it.
After all, in the movie, because of the separation between humans and ghosts, Nie Xiaoqian had to Reincarnate and thus couldn't stay with Ning Caichen forever.
In the original work, the two had a relatively Perfection ending.
Pei Xuanji waited for a moment longer and finally got the ending she was satisfied with.
"I didn't expect you to be quite good at writing stories."
She paused slightly, then murmured as if to herself.
"Humans and ghosts are from different Daos, can they truly be together?"
Li Yunshu knew what the Empress was hinting at.
"Their love has long transcended the boundaries and shackles of the mundane world."
Hearing this, Pei Xuanji couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
At this moment, Li Yunshu was busy with cocoa pods, breaking them open one by one and scooping out the cocoa beans inside.
At this stage, the cocoa pods didn't taste like chocolate; instead, they tasted a bit like mangosteen.
Li Yunshu wrapped the cocoa beans with cocoa tree leaves and then put them into his storage ring.
Next, they needed to ferment for a period before the next step could proceed.
Seeing him busy, Pei Xuanji leaned over.
"What are you doing?"
"Making chocolate."
"Chocolate!"
Pei Xuanji hadn't eaten this in a long time and immediately became energetic.
She stared at Li Yunshu's every move without blinking, secretly noting the fruit used to make the chocolate.
In the future, she could make chocolate herself and no longer had to beg this guy... Seven days later.
On a bright sunny afternoon, Li Yunshu took out the fermented cocoa beans.
As soon as she smelled it, Pei Xuanji immediately covered her nose.
"Are you sure you're making chocolate?"
A sour, rotten smell entered her nostrils, and she absolutely refused to believe that chocolate was made from this stuff.
"The chocolate Your Majesty eats is made from this."
Since there was no oven to speed up baking in this world, Li Yunshu could only use Talismans.
After grinding, the cocoa beans quickly turned into cocoa powder. Adding honey and pre-boiled coconut oil, it was already mostly successful.
At this point, Pei Xuanji had already seen the prototype of chocolate, liquid chocolate.
Under the freezing effect of the Ice Talisman, the liquid chocolate quickly hardened.
At this moment, Pei Xuanji was already salivating.
Although she had eaten many desserts, she still couldn't forget this thing called chocolate.
It was slightly hard when it entered the mouth, then gradually, a rich and non-greasy aroma spread, with a slight bitterness.
The chocolate, enveloped in her mouth, gradually became soft.
It was a little soft, a little lingering, and the rich, sweet liquid slowly flowed down her throat.
That small piece of chocolate dissolved in her mouth, leaving only a lingering aftertaste.
The scene of her first time eating chocolate was as clear in her mind as if it were yesterday.
"Done."
Not long after, Li Yunshu handed over a whole bar of chocolate.
Pei Xuanji took it, took a small bite, and it was still the familiar taste.
She couldn't deny that she was captivated by this guy's chocolate.
But fortunately, she had already learned the method of making it.
Half a month later.
Li Yunshu had just slain a wolf demon when he heard the ground shaking.
Turning his head, he saw the Empress riding on the back of an ox demon, heading towards him.
And on its two horns hung two large sacks.
"Your Majesty, what is this?"
"Coconuts and that other fruit."
"Cocoa pods?"
"Yes!"
