Chapter 583: Chapter 582: The Ancient Painting Map

Before Chu Xiaoxiao could say anything, Sun Heng spoke with undisguised disdain.

"A country bumpkin is really a country bumpkin. The famous movie star, you don’t even recognize Chu Xiaoxiao?"

"Right, the queen of foxy eyes, Chu Xiaoxiao."

Zhang Xiaoshan suddenly woke up.

She was a female artist who had shot to fame in the past year or two, hailed as a once-in-a-millennium beauty, especially those eyes, as enchanting as a fox’s, capable of driving a man mad with a single glance – thus, the title of the queen of foxy eyes. She must’ve been at the height of her popularity when I was in my third and fourth years in college, as there were quite a few male students who were fans of Chu Xiaoxiao.

Back then, Zhang Xiaoshan only had Wu Xiaoru in his heart, so he never joined his roommates in masturbating to pictures of Chu Xiaoxiao.

"Sun Heng, didn’t I tell you not to expose my identity carelessly?"

"I’m full."

As she spoke, Chu Xiaoxiao put down her chopsticks and put on her sunglasses again, covering half of her face.

Damn, acting cool and putting on airs.

Zhang Xiaoshan immediately felt no affection for Chu Xiaoxiao and couldn’t help but say sarcastically,

"Don’t worry, in such a remote rural place, who’s going to care whether you’re a celebrity or not? You could walk around the village right now, and if a single person recognizes you, I’ll consider it my loss."

"You... are you saying that Miss is not famous enough?"

Chu Xiaoxiao immediately got upset.

Ye Feng chuckled and smoothed things over.

"Ha ha, Brother Ye was just saying, Miss Chu, why take it seriously? Besides, the families in these mountains don’t even have televisions, so it’s not strange they don’t recognize you."

"We are here on serious business, let’s not get delayed by such trivial matters."

"Hmph"

Hearing that, Chu Xiaoxiao snorted coldly and sat back down.

The elderly man in a long robe at the table kept his head down and ate, appearing as if he was an outsider.

"I’m back."

Just then, a voice came from outside the door.

A woman with short hair, dressed in white yoga attire, walked in.

This woman’s figure was quite sensational, and wearing yoga clothes outside, wasn’t this just plainly tempting men to sin?

Those legs, long and straight, were so desirable.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan’s attention was mostly on the upper body of the woman in yoga clothes.

On those breasts.

Su Xiangmei had said that the most distinctive feature of the person she encountered last night was that her breasts were nearly as big as hers.

This woman’s chest was indeed not small.

The woman noticed Zhang Xiaoshan’s gaze and glared at him furiously.

Her eyes were full of disgust.

She had already suspected Zhang Xiaoshan of being up to no good when he flirted with the widow last night, and now he was ogling her chest, what kind of man was he?

A total beast in human clothing; she had to find a way to get rid of this guy.

"What were you doing so early in the morning?"

Zhang Xiaoshan asked the woman.

The woman with the mask said,

"Do I need to report to you when I pee?"

Damn, she’s really got an attitude.

Zhang Xiaoshan was left speechless by her retort,

"Eat your lunch quickly, we’re heading into the mountains after."

The woman with short hair was the only female member of the team, so Chu Xiaoxiao treated her quite well.

Chu Xiaoxiao waved her hand and said,

"I brought my own food."

Saying so, she took out half a palm-sized piece of beef jerky from the small backpack slung across her waist and started chewing on it.

Clearly, she came prepared in case someone might drug her food, pretty professional indeed.

"Suit yourself, Sister Xiue, tell someone to clear the dishes."

"Let’s take a twenty-minute break, then head into the mountains."

...

Over an hour later, they arrived at the area where Zhang Xiaoshan had discovered the Red Blood Ganoderma.

This was regarded as the end of the foothills in the back mountain area.

Venturing further in would lead them to the heart of the mountain.

Zhang Xiaoshan paused in his steps.

"Why did you stop walking?"

Chu Xiaoxiao asked impatiently.

Zhang Xiaoshan said,

"The deeper you go into the mountains, the more wild beasts there are. I’ve only been this far at most. Going any deeper, who knows how many demons and ghosts there might be? I’m not looking for death. If you want to go, go ahead without me."

Zhang Xiaoshan took a seat on a large rock.

"You little brat, after taking so much money from us, this is how you lead the way?" Sun Heng was furious.

But Zhang Xiaoshan didn’t heed him at all.

This is just how I am; what can you do about it?

"Never mind."

Chu Xiaoxiao stopped the irate Sun Heng and said,

"If he really hasn’t been any further, having him lead the way might get us lost in some godforsaken place."

"Let it be."

"Master Gu, you have a way, right?"

The eyes of the group turned to the elderly man in the long robe who seldom spoke.

The elder smiled.

Then he took out an old sheepskin map from his bosom.

Unfolding it layer by layer, wow, it was one meter long and half a meter wide, seemingly an ancient painting,

Zhang Xiaoshan leaned in for a closer look.

The next moment, he was dumbfounded.

Despite some minor alterations in the topography portrayed on the ancient painting, wasn’t this a panoramic map of the back mountain?

"Young man, do you see it?"

Master Gu smiled slyly at Zhang Xiaoshan, his grin emanating an intense sense of cunning.
