Chapter 249 Disdain
City-state.
Su Nuannuan was led into a new salt lake.
Seeing this vast expanse of snow-white salt, he felt a surge of pride.
She said that her salt-making skills were so superb that she would definitely be appreciated by Dongfang Luanhe.
Right now, he must be attracted to me, otherwise he wouldn't have entrusted such a large salt lake to my management.
The salt lake stretched as far as the eye could see, and Su Nuannuan felt extremely comfortable looking at it.
This is what Su Nuannuan deserves, instead of being crammed into a salt cave and managing a few salt wells.
She had initially thought Su Luoluo was quite capable, managing so many salt wells. But now, she realized that compared to the vast salt lake before her, Su Luoluo's few wells were nothing.
Once she wins over Dongfang Luanhe and makes him her beast husband through a contract, she will be a legitimate Lady of the City. At that time, if she wants to take revenge and cause trouble for Su Luoluo, it will be a piece of cake.
Thinking of this, Su Nuannuan couldn't help but laugh inwardly.
Su Luoluo, you'll lose to me sooner or later.
However, she has already completed the task, so why hasn't the system sent her the reward yet?
No sooner had he finished thinking than the system's voice rang out.
"Congratulations, host, on completing the salt-making task. As a reward, host, you will receive a head of beautiful hair."
Upon hearing the news, Su Nuannuan covered her head with joy. She took off her wig, touched her head, and after confirming that the small bald spot on her head was healed, she said happily, "Thank you, system, my hair really has improved."
The system smiled faintly upon hearing this: "No need to thank me, this is what the host deserves for completing the mission. However, you still need to contact Dongfang Luanhe and win him over as soon as possible, lest Su Luoluo snatch him away."
Su Nuannuan nodded upon hearing this, "I know the system, so I'm going to make some Nuannuan Chicken and send it over."
"Warm Chicken? What's that?" The vulnerability system searched for a long time but couldn't find anything about Warm Chicken, so it couldn't help but ask.
Upon hearing this, Su Nuannuan said proudly, "That's a kind of chicken I invented. You coat it with mud and roast it. It's especially delicious."
The system couldn't help but twitch after hearing the characters. "Beggar's Chicken is beggar's chicken. What 'warm chicken'? Such a vulgar name."
However, seeing that Su Nuannuan was quite confident, it did not interrupt her.
As long as she's willing to put in the effort to get to know Dongfang Luanhe, that's fine.
Thinking of this, the system nodded: "Okay, go ahead and do it!"
Su Nuannuan nodded with a smile.
He dug up a basket of soil in his backyard and started cooking chicken.
After she finished cooking, she took the chicken to the front of the main hall.
Lu Ming came in from outside and saw Su Nuannuan gesturing to several orc servants. He frowned and walked over: "What are you doing?"
Several orc servants were unsure what to do when they saw Lu Ming approaching. They quickly reported, "Chief, this female says she has something for the young master."
The female kept saying she wanted to give something to the young master. They reached out to take it, but she refused, insisting on delivering it herself.
They wouldn't dare let anyone pass by casually; the young master isn't someone who can be seen by just anyone.
They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lu Ming coming.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming glanced at Su Nuannuan and asked, "What should I give her?"
When Su Nuannuan saw Lu Ming, a look of joy appeared on her face. He was the one who had brought her coarse salt before, so she could purify it.
She said excitedly, "I made something to offer to the young master."
"Food?" Lu Ming glanced at her up and down. "What food?" Seeing Lu Ming ask, Su Nuannuan held out the food in her hand to Lu Ming and said, "It's Nuannuan Chicken that I made. I want to give Young Master a try."
After saying that, she pretended to be shy and said, "Thank you, young master, for letting me stay and giving me something to eat."
"Take it back. Young Master has plenty of chickens to eat. As for keeping it, you'll be able to refine the salt yourself. There's nothing more to say." Lu Ming saw through the female's thoughts at a glance and refused Su Nuannuan's request.
Given her disheveled appearance with bird droppings on her head, how dare she covet their young master?
As Lu Ming was about to turn and leave after speaking, Su Nuannuan quickly stopped him and explained, "This is not an ordinary chicken. It is made of mud. Young Master will know as soon as you taste it. It is different from ordinary chicken."
Made of mud?
Remembering how the female had used wood ash to purify salt last time, Lu Ming stopped. Perhaps the young master would be interested in something different. He turned around and reached out his hand: "Take it, I'll give it to the young master."
Su Nuannuan hesitated upon hearing this, saying, "This chicken is a bit complicated to cook, so I'll personally deliver it to the young master!"
She made this chicken to win over Dongfang Luanhe and have Lu Ming deliver it. But then she still wouldn't have seen him, so Su Nuannuan was a little reluctant.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming glanced at her and said, "If you're not willing, then forget it. The young master isn't someone that just anyone can see."
Unexpectedly, Lu Ming rejected her so decisively. Even though Su Nuannuan was unwilling, she had no choice but to compromise and give the chicken to Lu Ming.
There's no way to give it to him; otherwise, we won't be able to deliver the chicken today.
She was confident that this chicken would make Dongfang Luanhe look at her in a new light. With that in mind, Su Nuannuan handed the chicken to Lu Ming without hesitation and carefully instructed him, "You can eat it after you knock off the mud on the outside of the chicken with a stick."
Lu Ming took it, turned around and left without saying a word.
When they brought the chicken into the hall, Dongfang Luanhe was playing with Jin Ling.
Upon seeing Lu Ming enter, Jin Ling fluttered up from the air and rushed to Lu Ming's side.
Dongfang Luanhe narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Ming, teasingly saying, "What trick did you use today to make Jin Ling rush over to play with you?"
Normally, no matter how much Lu Ming tried to please Jin Ling, it would never pay him any attention.
Lu Ming also found it strange until he saw a pair of sharp yellow eyes staring at his hand. He then realized what was going on, pursed his lips, and held up the chicken in his hand, saying, "I didn't do anything. It's probably because of this chicken."
"Chicken? You're getting more and more cunning, you even brought a chicken over."
“It’s not mine. It was sent by that female. She said it was made of mud and wanted to offer it to the young master to try.”
"Making chickens out of mud, isn't that disgusting?" Dongfang Luanhe immediately thought of the other person eating bird droppings and felt even more disgusted.
"Throw it away! Don't bring anything from this female next time she brings something."
What good things can a slovenly person make?
Lu Ming actually thought the chicken smelled pretty good, but the thought of Su Nuannuan eating it with bird droppings on her head made him feel a little disgusted.
He nodded and was about to leave.
Golden Feather blocked their path, circling and soaring.
Seeing this, Dongfang Luanhe laughed out loud, "Alright, here's one that doesn't mind, throw it outside for Jinling to eat! Don't let me see it, it'll disgust me."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming nodded and took Jin Ling out. He took out the chicken, threw it into the air, and Jin Ling immediately began to eat it in pieces.
Su Nuannuan didn't leave after delivering the chicken, fantasizing that after Dongfang Nanluan finished eating the chicken, he would summon her, admire her, and fall in love with her from then on.
Just as she was having a wonderful thought, something hit her head. She touched her head and looked up, only to see the same bird from last time eating a chicken.
She recognized the chicken; it was the warm chicken she had made herself.
Her face turned ashen instantly, and she trembled all over. The warm chicken she had painstakingly made had been stolen and eaten by that bird—the very bird that had pooped on her head.
