With the whistling wind and the stench in the air, Chen Shi'an didn't turn around. He raised the entrenching tool in his hand and swung it casually, causing the big black bear to let out a painful roar.

Blood was dripping from the bear's paw.

Chen Shi'an was holding back; otherwise, he would have really been in trouble.

Clearly, the bear couldn't afford to mess with the creature in front of it, so it slowly retreated until it reached a safe distance, then took off running.

Chen Shi'an smiled as he watched this scene. He searched around the vicinity but found nothing else; however, he did manage to collect quite a few kidney essence herbs.

I glanced at the sky; it was time to head down the mountain.

Chen Shi'an carried the basket on his back and walked back.

By the time we reached the foot of the mountain, it was already dusk. This trip up the mountain had been quite fruitful.

However, it cannot be denied that Daqingshan is indeed a dead end.

Not to mention black bears, those seven or eight-meter-long pythons are enough to terrify people, and swallowing a person is a piece of cake. No wonder no one has entered the mountains for so many years.

Back at the clinic, Chen Shi'an unloaded the basket from his back. The mature medicinal herbs needed to be dried, while the young plants were kept in his spatial storage.

Naked, I washed my face, and when I looked up, someone walked in.

Seeing Chen Shi'an naked, her face flushed slightly.

"Nice figure!" Ji Qingqian said to Chen Shi'an with a teasing tone, but her gaze was elsewhere.

"Men, when you're out in the game, the first thing you rely on is your looks, and the second is your physique," Chen Shi'an chuckled.

Then he tensed up slightly, and asked with a smile, "Want to touch it?"

"go!"

"Who cares?" Ji Qingqian said, her face flushed and annoyed.

"Fine, don't touch me then, but I won't let anyone else touch me!"

"But why is Miss Ji so late?" Chen Shi'an asked curiously, as it was getting dark.

I arrived this afternoon, but you weren't here.

"I can't get through when I call." Ji Qingqian pouted.

"So you've been waiting until now?" Chen Shi'an blinked.

"I was bored, so I just wandered around the village," Ji Qingqian said casually.

"You like me?" Chen Shi'an asked with a smile!

"Pah, why are you so narcissistic?" Ji Qingqian rolled her eyes at Chen Shi'an.

"Otherwise, why would you wait for me all afternoon?" Chen Shi'an chuckled.

"I came to buy free-range chickens, so can I do it while I'm at it?" Ji Qingqian said coquettishly.

Her cheeks, however, grew even redder.

"It seems I misunderstood. But I have plenty of people who like me, so one more won't make a difference," Chen Shi'an smiled.

With her hair still wet, she put on her shirt, her body soaked with water, and Ji Qingqian couldn't take her eyes off the scene.

"I heard your village is haunted?" Ji Qingqian asked curiously!

"Absolutely! They say it has a blue face and fangs, it's terrifying! One person in our village went crazy from fright."

"It's getting dark!" Chen Shi'an glanced at the sky, said as he went inside, washed the rice, and put it in the rice cooker.

There was also a pork knuckle in the refrigerator, so I took one out.

"Tch, that's nonsense. There are no ghosts in this world." Ji Qingqian curled her lips; she didn't believe it.

"The food is pretty good, isn't it?" Ji Qingqian said casually, looking at Chen Shi'an.

"It's not good to make yourself suffer when you're alone." Chen Shi'an chuckled, twirled his knife, and then started slicing potatoes into shreds to make a braised pork knuckle and stir-fry a plate of potato shreds.

Ji Qingqian stood aside watching Chen Shi'an's practiced movements. "Now I believe that your ex-wife should have wronged you," Ji Qingqian said softly.

A man who can cook is never too bad.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense! I wasn't cheated on, we just have different beliefs."

"I'm not capable and I don't have any great ambitions, but others are ambitious."

"So this kind of life just couldn't go on anymore," Chen Shi'an said calmly.

"She's divorced and wants to belittle her ex, but you're actually defending her." Ji Qingqian smiled.

"Hey, let's just discuss the matter at hand," Chen Shi'an said calmly.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Chen Shi'an glanced at the sky outside.

"I'm telling you, it's really haunted. It's all over the village. People are even going to the graveyard."

"It's said that this is called being blinded by a ghost."

"Aren't you afraid, all alone?" Chen Shi'an asked with a smile.

"I haven't eaten yet." Ji Qingqian rolled her eyes at Chen Shi'an. This guy, doesn't he know how to be polite?

She hadn't planned to come, but her dad said he wanted to buy two free-range chickens, so she volunteered to come. However, when she arrived at Chen Shi'an's place, she found that he wasn't there.

They should have gone home, but instead they stayed.

I wouldn't say I like him, but I just feel very comfortable being with Chen Shi'an.

"Fine, I guess I still have to provide meals." Chen Shi'an rolled his eyes.

"Tch, I don't give any of the invitations to dinner that many people have given me." Ji Qingqian tilted her chin slightly.

Under the lights, her face was truly beautiful, almost glowing.

"Well, it's my honor to say that," Chen Shi'an grinned.

An hour later, the main thing is that the pork knuckle needs to be thawed; otherwise, it should be even faster.

Chen Shi'an served Ji Qingqian a bowl of rice. "Do you think I'm a pig?" Ji Qingqian said coquettishly.

This guy serves rice to a girl, a huge bowl of it?

Chen Shi'an curled his lip, "If you're so capable, then don't want it later."

After saying that, he kept the big bowl for himself and ladled a spoonful for Ji Qingqian.

Ignoring Ji Qingqian, he buried his head in his food.

Ji Qingqian smiled, picked up a bite of food, and her eyes lit up.

I took a bite of rice, and wow, even the rice this guy makes smells so good.

The spoonful of rice was quickly emptied.

"Chen Shi'an, give me another bowl of rice," Ji Qingqian said, blushing.

"Are you a pig?! Eating so much?" Chen Shi'an rolled his eyes at Ji Qingqian.

Ji Qingqian took a deep breath, feeling an urge to slam the bowl in her hand onto Chen Shi'an's face.

That bastard deserves to get a divorce.

Chen Shi'an took the bowl and ladled another spoonful for Ji Qingqian.

Now I cook every day and I'm used to adding water from the space, and it tastes really good.

He hadn't expected Ji Qingqian to stay for dinner.

However, this woman is really beautiful and has no health problems. The main function of the space water is to detoxify, beautify the skin, and strengthen the body. Of course, it does not significantly improve physical strength unless consumed for a long time.

Therefore, it's fine for Ji Qingqian to eat a little.

Ji Qingqian took the rice bowl, rolled her eyes at Chen Shi'an, and said, "I'll eat your rice. Look at how stingy you are."

"Then let's not eat it," Chen Shi'an said with a smile.

"Dream on, I'll eat you out of house and home." Ji Qing rolled her eyes at Chen Shi'an.

The two of them finished off a pot of rice, leaving not even a braised pork knuckle. Ji Qingqian sat in her original spot, too lazy to move.

I'm so full.

This guy's cooking is surprisingly delicious.

Ji Qingqian really wanted to discuss this with his ex-wife face to face, wondering how they could bear to let such a guy enter the market.
