This place is fun

Chapter 155 I Surrender

Gulu, Gulu...

Yue Zhen sat obediently on a small stool in the kitchen, hugging her beautiful ankles, resting her chin on her knees, watching the busy figure of the man under the light and in the rising smoke.

The casserole contained the braised pork. The gurgling sound was the sound of the bubbling soup and Yue Zhen's quiet swallowing of saliva. It was a strange fragrance that Yue Zhen had never smelled before. Just smelling it made her saliva flow.

She could never have imagined that the nerd actually had this trick up his sleeve.

He didn't even recognize many of the spices he brought. He just put them all in the cupboard because they looked complete. He also took out the condiments, such as the lumps of ginger and garlic, from the basket and from the vegetable patch in the yard, and then put them into the pot with the spices, either before or after, more or less.

Either they stir-fry until fragrant, or add water to simmer. Then, everything seems to be blended together by the hands of a god, and the flavors mix and emerge little by little. Along with the smoke, along the nasal cavity, it jumps straight into the heart of the person, making him itch like a cat scratching.

Now, Su Daoshan has cooked a pot of vegetable soup in an iron pot and is cooking fish.

The black fish in the water tank had already been filleted by him. From killing the fish, to cutting it, to slicing it, his movements were so skillful that it seemed like he had done it countless times.

Yue Zhen rarely watched people cook. Firstly, she wanted to avoid the smoke from the kitchen, and secondly, there was nothing to see. The men from the noble families were all in the training grounds, and even fewer of them studied, let alone go to the kitchen to cook.

In the minds of the children of wealthy families, cooks are just miscellaneous jobs.

But for some reason, Yue Zhen sat here at this moment, watching the man's focused look, and there was an inexplicable emotion spreading from the bottom of her heart, and then turned into a slight numbness, and her thinking became a little sluggish at this moment, and she didn't want to think about anything, just kept watching him busy. She felt that every one of his movements was so pleasing to the eye.

Gurgle. When Yue Zhen swallowed her saliva for who knows how many times, Su Daoshan took out the braised pork with the sauce collected, and then brought it into the main room together with the vegetable soup and placed it on the kang table.

Yue Zhen followed in like a clingy kitten. Then she couldn't move her legs. Her eyes were fixed on the braised pork.

Su Daoshan turned around and went back into the kitchen: "Don't eat secretly!"

"Hmm." The girl's vague voice answered him.

Su Daoshan laid celery on the bottom, put the fish fillet into the pot, and just rinsed it briefly. When he saw the fish fillet turn white and slightly curled, he scooped it out along with the soup. Then he sprinkled a layer of chopped dried chili and Sichuan peppercorns on the surface, rinsed the pot, and boiled another spoonful of oil.

When Yue Zhen entered the house with the fish and a long-handled iron spoon filled with boiling oil, her mouth was still bulging, like a hamster. There were already several pieces of braised pork missing from the bowl, and there were still traces of the soup she had secretly eaten on her pink lips. Her eyes were so comfortable that they curved into crescents.

As soon as she saw Su Daoshan coming in, Yue Zhen knelt up immediately, busily set the table in the right place, vacated the main seat by the window, put the cushions in place, and then knelt down on one side like a serving wife, covering her pouting mouth with the back of her hand and smiling at Su Daoshan.

Su Daoshan placed the full bowl on the table and poured the boiling oil from the iron spoon in his right hand over it. The aroma of the fish slices instantly rose with the spicy smoke.

Yue Zhen's eyes were full of stars.

Su Daoshan glared at her, went back to the kitchen to put down the iron spoon, returned to the main room, and sat on the kang. At this time, Yue Zhen had already obediently set the dishes and chopsticks, opened a small jar of wine, poured it for Su Daoshan, and said, "My husband, drink."

"Yeah." Su Daoshan glanced at her.

Upon seeing this, Yue Zhen quickly picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks, leaned over, and put it into Su Daoshan's mouth, saying delicately: "Master, you have worked hard. Let me serve you dinner today..."

Half of the weight of the girl's soft body rested on him, her face was like a peach blossom, her eyes were like spring water, and she deliberately spoke in such a pretentious manner. Even Su Daoshan, who had seen a lot in his previous life, felt a little overwhelmed. If this continued, I was afraid that playing house would turn into visiting a brothel...

Su Daoshan opened his mouth and ate the meat, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, coughed slightly to cover up, and said: "I'll do it myself. You eat yours."

Yue Zhen smiled with her lips pursed. When she stood up, she deliberately squeezed him again. Then she sat down, picked up a piece of fish, blew it carefully, and tried to put it in her mouth. Then, her eyes lit up.

"Is it delicious?" Su Daoshan glanced at her.

Yue Zhen nodded quickly, her face flushed with spiciness, her eyes watery, but she couldn't stop eating one slice after another. She looked at Su Daoshan with admiration: "Delicious!"

The Yue family was involved in the hotel business, so they naturally had no shortage of cooks. Not only the dishes from Xiazhou, but also some cooking methods from the south could be eaten occasionally. But I had never even heard of the names of the braised pork and boiling fish fillets, let alone eaten them. I didn't know where Su Daoshan learned them from.

When she smelled the food in the kitchen just now, Yue Zhen knew it must be good. But when she secretly ate the braised pork behind Su Daoshan's back, she almost swallowed her tongue after taking the first bite.

The salty and fragrant taste and the soft and chewy texture made Yue Zhen unable to believe that there were such delicious dishes in the world.

If the braised pork opened the door to gourmet food for Yue Zhen, then the boiling fish fillet opened her eyes even more.

Yue Zhen has loved eating fish and spicy food since she was a child. When the spoonful of boiling oil was poured on the fish fillet, she swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva just by the aroma. The fish fillet melted in her mouth. The hot and tender fish fillet, mixed with the taste of chili and pepper, plus the aroma of celery, wrapped together, the feeling of exploding on the tip of her tongue made her feel both novel and extremely addicted.

What’s even more amazing is the combination of these two dishes and one soup.

After two bites of the fish fillet, I gasped and felt sweat coming out of the tip of my nose due to the spiciness. Then I ate a piece of braised pork to reduce the heat, and repeated this process. Finally, I had some radish, corn and cabbage, which have their own sweetness, and drank a sip of the clear soup. It was absolutely delicious.

In fact, both of them had already eaten dinner.

But now, sitting at the table on the kang, we ate two dishes and a soup with our chopsticks, and soon we finished them all. Especially Yue Zhen, the food was too spicy, but she was reluctant to put down her chopsticks, so she simply went to get another small bowl of rice.

Even though she was a warrior, her appetite and digestion ability far exceeded that of ordinary people. When she finally put down her chopsticks, Yue Zhen was so full that she didn't want to move at all. Like a cat, she lazily leaned on Su Daoshan and even grabbed his hand to count his fingers for fun.

The room was quite quiet, and the heat from the kang made people feel a little hot.

"When are you going back?" Su Daoshan asked. It was already midnight. In the original world, it was the time when night life began, but in this world, people had already fallen asleep.

"What's wrong?" Yue Zhen raised her head, rolled her eyes, leaned closer, and blew sweet air, "Husband... don't you want me to stay tonight?"

"Playing with fire, huh?" Su Daoshan raised his eyebrows.

Su Daoshan felt a little strange. If we were familiar with each other, he and Yue Zhen were enemies and disliked each other. But if we were unfamiliar with each other, after experiencing the dust storm together, he and she not only lived and died together, but also knew each other's secrets. The distance seemed to be shortened.

But in terms of intimacy, he and she are neither husband and wife nor engaged. Even compared to the lovers in the previous life, they are far from the stage of mutual affection. But there is an inexplicable attraction between the two of them. It is difficult for Su Daoshan to describe this feeling, as if in a normal world, two incompatible people have discovered each other...

"Master, what's the point of being hot or not..." Yue Zhen's eyes were blurred, her face moved closer and closer, her voice with a little baby voice, indescribably charming, "In the dust storm, you saw me naked, and you hugged me and embraced me just now..."

Seeing their faces getting closer and closer, Su Daoshan's lips had just been touched by a soft and cool feeling, Yue Zhen had already chuckled and quickly got up and got off the kang.

"I knew you were a hypocritical bad guy!" She bit her lip, turned around gracefully, opened the door, but stopped, half leaned against the door and turned back: "I'm leaving first, bad husband!"

Su Daoshan's face darkened and he angrily said, "Bitch, aren't you going to wash the dishes?!"

Yue Zhen giggled and flew away.

Su Daoshan had no choice but to clean up the dishes himself. With nothing else to do, he walked around the kitchen, vegetable garden, and utility room, found what he wanted, and started to get busy.

Fermented black beans, kimchi, bean curd…

******
An hour later, Su Daoshan returned to his yard.

"Master..." Although she was dozing off a little bit, Huamei still forced herself to wait for him. When she saw him coming back, she hurried forward to help him undress. However, she smelled a smoky smell as soon as she approached, and her originally clean blue shirt was now covered in dirt.

"How did it become like this?" Huamei rolled her eyes and complained while quickly taking off his clothes and fetching water for him to wash his face and soak his feet.

Su Daoshan enjoyed Huamei's service and watched the pretty maidservant in small clothes busying about. Before, he felt that he felt relaxed in the small farmyard, as if he had returned to his original world. But now, he suddenly felt that he had adapted to this evil old society of extravagance and debauchery.

Lying on the bed, waiting for Huamei to blow out the light and listening to her footsteps walking outside, Su Daoshan calmed down, closed his eyes, and extended his spiritual thoughts through the sea of ​​consciousness into the boundless spiritual world.

When Su Daoshan left the spiritual realm last night, he returned to the Gurong tribe and then left at Mr. Qi's house. This time, when he entered, he found that Mr. Qi was already waiting for him.

"Boss." Mr. Qi stood up and saluted with an account book in his hand. "This is the ransom we received. Please take a look."

The time ratio between the real world and the spiritual world is one to three.

This means that in the seven hours that Su Daoshan was away, nearly two days had passed in the Spirit Realm. For the extraordinary warriors whose bodies were being guarded, the timing of entering the Spirit Realm was very important if they wanted to find a gap that could be exploited. Su Daoshan could tell with his toes how many people would try to enter the Spirit Realm during the day to get rid of their opponents.

However, Su Daoshan now controls the entire Xianlai Town. Not only can he have members of several tribes take turns guarding, but most importantly, he also has several powerful monsters under his control...

"Has Mr. Huang Zhu entered the spiritual realm?" Su Daoshan asked as he watched.

"He went in. But Fusheng was guarding him personally. He had already killed him three times. It looked like he was ready to beg for mercy, but Fusheng didn't give him a chance to speak." Mr. Qi said with a smile.

This was all arranged by Su Daoshan before he left.

He was not going to let this Huang Zhu layman go. But now...

"Tell Fusheng," Su Daoshan said, "If Huang Zhu Jushi comes in later, tell him to catch the man and don't rush to kill him..."

As he spoke, Su Daoshan had already seen the account book clearly, and his eyes lit up: "So many."

Mr. Qi turned around and went out, asking a villager to take a message to Fu Sheng. When he came back, he smiled and said, "Those who died in the Yellow Bamboo Forest have basically come in to pay the ransom. There are nearly forty independent cultivators in the Yellow Bamboo Forest, and they received 6400 spiritual essences. In addition, Bu Chi paid 2000 spiritual essences for those who came from the Fifth Spirit Realm, and the other eleven people paid between 800 and 1000. Add to that the nineteen people from the Ancient Banyan Tribe, and the total number exceeds twenty thousand spiritual essences..."

"It turns out that robbery makes money quickly!" Su Daoshan looked at the number 20200 spiritual essences in the account book and sighed. Adding the spiritual essences he had obtained from big monsters such as Fusheng before, he now had nearly spiritual essences in his hands.

"But unfortunately, this is equivalent to plundering the entire Xianlai Town. Whether it is the guards like Mr. Huang Zhu or the independent cultivators, the spiritual essence is basically gathered in my hands. Even the savings of the tribe's big monsters are in my hands. If I want to plunder more, there is no oil. The most troublesome thing is that there are still many people outside who are asking about me. I have to disappear for a while."

"Before leaving, the most important thing now is to confirm that Mr. Huang Zhu..."

Thinking about this, Su Daoshan said to Mr. Qi, "You go to the valley entrance for me later. If Huang Zhu comes up again and wants to beg for mercy, you can send someone to call me and then tell him this..."

Following Su Daoshan's words, Mr. Qi nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, boss."

******
"This is the third time!"

"They even sent Fu Sheng to guard me. They want to kill me!"

In the guest room of the Qingzhaoju Inn in Yishan City, Ke Lizhi paced back and forth anxiously. Today, he was just rushing to report to the Yishan City military camp, so some disciples from the top sects were staying in the market city.

Because of this, Ke Lizhi still had time to enter the spiritual realm today. But if he missed today, he would be in the military camp and live with others, and it would be inconvenient to enter the spiritual realm again. Because when entering the spiritual realm, people are in a state of wandering. This state is very similar to dreaming when sleeping. Once there is any movement around and wakes up, they will automatically exit the spiritual realm.

That would mean wasting 20 spiritual energy points.

But now, Ke Lizhi found sadly that he had spent 60 spiritual essences but didn't even have time to say a word. If we can't reach an agreement, then chop it off. Why don't you talk first?
Thinking of the news he heard from his master and uncle, Ke Lizhi felt despair.

He never dreamed that the newcomer he had easily killed in the spiritual realm would become his nightmare. Not only did the Huangzhulin tribe he had run for many years disappear, but even Buchi died at the hands of the enemy. Now the entire Xianlin Town has become the enemy's world.

"No, I have to solve this problem." Ke Lizhi made up his mind and lay down on the bed.

A few seconds later, when the spiritual world appeared before his eyes, Ke Lizhi knelt down at the fastest speed in his life, clasped his hands together and bowed vigorously, while shouting loudly: "I admit defeat, I surrender, don't kill me!"
