Chapter 440: Chapter 440 Resentment

Su Manman, however, lost her color.

"You stinker, if you don’t want to marry me, you don’t need to use that kind of excuse!" She huffed, but then she thought about it, considering Shi Hao’s limited experience, it wasn’t strange for him to have such thoughts.

So, she changed her mind and said, "Then marry me after you step onto the Heaven Building Ladder!"

"Okay," Shi Hao nodded. Once he stepped onto the Heaven Building Ladder, would the Su family still look down on him as a son-in-law?

Seeing his confident demeanor, Su Manman couldn’t help but flash a mischievous smile. Did this kid really think it would be that easy to marry her?

Heh, when the time comes, you’ll know!

Bang!

At that moment, a dark shadow suddenly fell from the sky, landing heavily on the ground and creating a huge crater.

Everyone looked over to see a big yellow dog splayed out on the ground, looking utterly defeated.

Its fur was all puffed up, tongue lolling out long, the picture of misery.

"Big Yellow, you must remember that disasters stem from the careless tongue," Shi Hao laughed.

The big yellow dog was indescribably somber. It wasn’t unaware of the Little Witch’s terror; it just hadn’t intended to speak at all but had merely reveled in schadenfreude for a moment before it was struck by calamity, as if out of nowhere.

Shi Hao got to the point and asked, "Which tribe did you join?"

"The Serpent People Tribe," Su Manman answered earnestly.

"Does that mean we’re going to be opponents from now on?" Shi Hao said with a smile.

"Just deal with it casually, it’s just some Reward Points after all," Su Manman said nonchalantly.

Unlike the others who were so competitive, Su Manman was completely treating this trip to the mystical realm as if it were a leisurely outing. Too easygoing.

"Do you have a way to break through this misty land?" Shi Hao asked. The Little Witch had too many tricks up her sleeve; just take the Imperial Fire Pill, for instance, which could neutralize any Elemental Attack, an incredible feat beyond description.

"Don’t know, we’ll see when we get there," Su Manman said casually.

"All right, let’s go," Shi Hao immediately said.

"Sure," Su Manman nodded.

Han Dong was about to follow but was stopped by Zhang Santian.

"What’s up?" he asked, puzzled.

"Do you have to intrude on their long-awaited reunion?" Zhang Santian said with a smile.

Han Dong finally realized and quickly nodded.

Shi Hao did not mind whether these people followed or not; he had been separated from Su Manman for many days, and his longing was intense. Being alone with her was precisely what he wanted.

The two of them walked and talked, not caring whether the conversation had any particular focus. Merely glancing at each other, they felt an indescribable sweetness.

Unbeknownst to them, they had already reached the Forbidden Land of the Fish People Tribe.

Ahead, the fog stirred slightly but remained impenetrable, like a monstrous beast sprawled out in their way.

Su Manman didn’t think much of it and walked straight through.

Shi Hao laughed and walked alongside her.

Soon the fog enveloped them, and their visibility sharply dropped to less than three feet.

In this place, one could instantly lose their sense of direction.

However, this was ineffectual against someone with a Domain.

Within a thirty-foot radius, Shi Hao was still fully aware.

"Eh, you’ve developed a Domain?" Su Manman looked at Shi Hao as if she had discovered a new continent, her eyes filled with surprise.

Shi Hao couldn’t help feeling a bit smug. The Little Witch always seemed to take everything in stride as if everything was under her control. But now, she actually showed surprise.

"How about it? Impressive, huh?" he said with a look that clearly invited praise.

Su Manman nodded slowly, "Developing a Domain from ten islands is indeed genius, even by this lady’s standards!"

What, just being called a genius doesn’t make me unique?

Shi Hao, not satisfied, said, "It’s just the South Wood Continent, how many geniuses could there be that compare with me?"

Su Manman patted his shoulder, "Young man, you should look at the wider world."

"Heh heh." Shi Hao forced a laugh.

"Now that you’ve established your domain, you should be able to do as you please here; you don’t need this lady’s help anymore." Su Manman spread her hands, clearly no longer willing to make an effort.

Shi Hao nodded. Had he not met Su Manman so early, he would have come to try as well.

"Let’s go." He reached out, took Su Manman’s hand, and walked forward.

Su Manman rolled her eyes. This guy wasn’t totally clueless after all.

As they walked, their thoughts were not on their surroundings, but on each other, each step as if treading on clouds, light and sweet.

However, the Little Witch was still the Little Witch; Su Manman lightly traced her finger across Shi Hao’s palm.

Shi Hao suddenly felt as if he’d been electrified; looking at Su Manman, he saw her bright eyes had turned alluring, sending a heat coursing through him, an impulse to throw caution to the wind and pull her into his arms.

Just as he was about to act on it, he heard a splash that snapped him back to attention.

"Fish!" Shi Hao’s eyes lit up, and he immediately dashed out; the sound had come from a fish leaping out of the water and then plunging back in.

Su Manman watched, pouting slightly. This man was truly finished—during such a sweet moment, how could he still think of fishing!

Serves you right to be single!

Shi Hao began to reflect on himself; he had opened up his domain and yet had failed to notice a fish within it!

If it weren’t for this fish acting recklessly to splash the water, he definitely would have missed it.

Women truly are tigers!

He sighed, then began to fish excitedly.

The muddy water was opaque, and ocular power simply couldn’t penetrate it. The way to catch fish was either to take a net and rely on luck or to snatch them when they jump out of the water.

But Shi Hao didn’t need to.

Within his domain, he was omniscient and all-powerful.

He reached out, his Dark Force transforming into a palm shape and probing into the muddy water.

Huh?

He discovered right away that the hand of Dark Force was quickly dissolving.

In this misty swamp, there was a trace of the force of rules left behind, which was corroding his Dark Force.

He needed to hurry up.

With a strong pull, he heard a splash and saw a large fish being pulled out of the water.

However, as the fish emerged, the hand of Dark Force was also corroded away, and he saw the fish falling back into the water.

Shi Hao promptly acted, producing another hand of Dark Force to recapture the large fish.

This time it was firmly caught.

"Come on, time to eat fish!" Shi Hao, elated, immediately began to clean and cook the fish over a fire.

Su Manman couldn’t help but roll her eyes. How could you forget the sweetness just now and not continue with it, instead thinking of eating?

Is my charm not even as great as that of a fish?

Su Manman reflected on this, while watching Shi Hao skillfully prepare the fish, and couldn’t help saying irritably, "If you can’t make it big, you could always become a chef."

Tsk, the resentment is strong.

Shi Hao was puzzled. I’m cooking for you, and you’re still complaining?

Women, just can’t figure them out.
