Chapter 442: Chapter 442 Visitor
Once they arrived, Su Manman no longer concealed her peerless beauty, taking off a mask to reveal a charming face that was fetching whether joyous or petulant—truly indescribable in her loveliness, but her lively eyes remained the same, indicating she was still the same Little Witch.
Even though Shi Hao had already seen her once, he still felt a slight suffocation upon seeing her again.
"You’re really beautiful!" he said sincerely.
"Of course!" Su Manman proudly accepted the compliment, like a peacock spreading its tail, seeking appreciation.
It was shockingly brazen, but then again, it was also true; Shi Hao had not seen any woman more beautiful than her.
After preparing dinner, they began to eat, and Su Manman even took out a bottle of wine.
Such luxury!
Shi Hao couldn’t help but marvel. Only someone with such a grand Immortal Abode could afford such luxuries as wine; at most, he would carry some clean water.
A few glasses of wine went down, and although Shi Hao was fine, Su Manman’s face was flushed red, her eyes sultry like silk, capable of dissolving one’s soul.
Shi Hao quickly focused his gaze on his nose, his nose on his heart, fearing chaos would ensue.
Wine can truly muddle the senses!
They finished their dinner, but had no idea what it tasted like; gazing at the person opposite, a thick sweetness surged in their hearts. Did the actual flavor of the food even matter at that point?
That night, Shi Hao tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, and when he finally drifted off hazily, it wasn’t long before daybreak.
However, the Immortal Abode was a world unto itself, unaffected by the outside, and it was an ancient clock in the room, ringing on its own, that reminded him of the time that had passed.
Shi Hao got up and stepped out of the room, only to smell the aroma of food.
Following the fragrance, he came to the kitchen to find Su Manman busily cooking up a storm.
Rinsing rice, cooking, preparing side dishes—she was a lady of high birth and apparently had never done this; what was a simple task for others had her sweating profusely.
Shi Hao couldn’t help but feel moved. What more could a man ask for than a woman who wakes up early to cook for him?
"Manman," he called.
Startled like a frightened cat, Su Manman leaped three feet into the air, then frantically clutched at her chest, "You scared me to death, scared me to death, what did you just call me just now?"
"Manman," Shi Hao said with a smile.
Su Manman’s eyes immediately crinkled with laughter, for until now, Shi Hao had usually addressed her directly, and if he did call her by name, it was formally as Miss Su or Su Manman. This was the first time he had called her so informally.
Thus, she was startled a moment ago.
"Ah, the porridge is going to burn!" She dashed to the stove, and after a series of vigorous actions reminiscent of a fierce tiger, she turned to Shi Hao with feigned annoyance, "It’s all your fault!"
That complaint was laden with charm, indescribably alluring.
Shi Hao’s heart stirred, and he replied with a laugh, "Yes, blame me, blame me."
He helped Su Manman with the cooking, and soon the porridge was ready, along with a small stir-fried dish.
"Eh, what kind of rice is this?" Shi Hao asked in surprise. In the bowl, there were only a few grains of rice, but each was as thick and long as a pinky finger, translucent and crystal clear, filling a small bowl with just a few grains.
And the dish, a translucent reddish color, seemed like exquisite jade.
"Phoenix Crystal Rice," Su Manman explained. "This is a wonderful thing that can help cleanse the marrow and fundamentally change your life’s essence."
"That powerful?" Shi Hao was astonished.
"Of course, when have I, the Little Witch, ever produced anything mediocre?" Su Manman declared with pride.
"Right, right," Shi Hao nodded, pointing to the dish, "And this?"
"Xuanwu Crimson Blood Grass, said to be nourished by the spirit of Xuanwu and also able to enhance the essence of life," Su Manman introduced.
Shi Hao looked at Su Manman, "Just how many generations of Heaven Building Ladder Almighties has your family produced? Good stuff like this, even in Yuan Chengmie’s memories, there isn’t the slightest clue. So, it must be that these Almighties from generation to generation went to collect, to plant, in order to obtain them."
"Thanks to you, I’m getting to enjoy this." He began to tuck in.
Su Manman watched him eat with a beaming smile, feeling that every movement he made while eating was so handsome and appealing that she felt full without even eating.
"You’re not eating?" Shi Hao asked, raising his head after taking a few bites.
"I’m fed up with that kind of stuff, I’ve eaten it so much already," Su Manman said with indifferent ease.
Shi Hao had nothing to say in response, fully aware that she was showing off but he could only concede, sigh!
After the meal, Shi Hao took it upon himself to do the dishes, after all, she had cooked, right? Su Manman also came over, indicating that they should wash up together.
...
Zhao Liuhao was full of regrets now.
He was a genius of the Western Rock Continent, ranked eighty-seventh on the Detached Genius Ranking. Although his position wasn’t at the very top, being on the list signified extraordinary talent.
But he shouldn’t have taken the risk, his confidence was too high, blindly entering this Misty Forbidden Land.
Now look, seven whole days gone, not to mention failing to catch a single fish or pick a single herb, he couldn’t even distinguish between north, south, east, and west, completely trapped in this place.
Though, at his realm, he wasn’t worried about starving to death, but does that mean he was supposed to be stuck here for a lifetime?
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he felt, and the more unsettled his mind became.
Bang, he kicked out, sending a clod of mud flying, which, hitting something, set off ripples, even the mist could not obscure this.
What’s going on?
Zhao Liuhao’s spirits lifted instantly, he hurried forward, then his face showed a look of shock.
What did he see?
There before him appeared a vast estate, enchantingly beautiful.
In such a marshy land, an estate was actually standing?
How out of place was that?
But Zhao Liuhao only felt intense excitement. He must have encountered an incredible opportunity!
Ha ha ha ha, he knew he wasn’t such an unlucky guy, it turned out that the heavens had him aimlessly wandering for seven days just as a test of his will, and now that he passed, fortune was laid out before him.
With his strength, of course, he wouldn’t consider the yard wall over a meter high an obstacle, he lightly leaped, trying to jump directly into the yard, but then, an invisible barrier stopped him, sending him rebounding back.
Zhao Liuhao was not dismayed but rather thrilled. That’s more like it, if it were easy to enter, then what kind of opportunity would it be?
He did not attempt to force his way in again but instead came to the entrance.
However, the door was tightly shut.
He tried to find some sort of mechanism or initiate a test on it, figuring that if he passed, the door would open on its own.
But no matter how he searched, the two doors seemed no different from ordinary doors, unresponsive to everything he tried.
Err... Struck by a sudden idea, he reached out to knock.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The door knocking echoed, Zhao Liuhao couldn’t help but laugh at himself mockingly, that was too naive.
Creak, but just then, the door actually opened.
Zhao Liuhao: "..."
