Unknowingly, a few days passed.
Qinchuan had forgotten about what happened last time, but today, the young city lord woman came to Qinchuan's courtyard.
Qinchuan was a little embarrassed. He was her guest, but every time she came to look for him, he didn't even look for her once. It was as though he treated her place as a refuge.
"You're here. Welcome, welcome." Qinchuan might feel embarrassed, so his attitude was much more intimate than before.
The woman seemed to be not used to Qinchuan's change. She looked at Qinchuan in confusion.
"Uh …" Qinchuan seemed to feel that it wasn't appropriate for him to be like this.
As the saying goes, those who are unaccountably solicitous are hiding evil intentions. Wasn't it a little too obvious?
"I'll cook for you?" After saying that, Qinchuan felt what was wrong with him today. Wasn't his attitude even more overboard than before?
The woman looked at Qinchuan. "What do you want to do?"
Qinchuan smiled bitterly and said, "Alright, what are you here for?"
"The Earth Terminus Pool can be used. I came to inform you," the woman said.
"Earth Terminus Pool?" Qinchuan had almost forgotten about it.
Actually, he didn't know much about the Earth Terminus Pool or the Tiangang Well.
"The Tiangang Well and the Earth Terminus Pool are both grotto-heavens and blessed lands. There are many benefits. You defeated the young city lord of Taicheng City, so you can use these resources," the woman said.
"Oh, thank you." Qinchuan didn't reject it.
Resources were the most precious. He naturally couldn't miss such a good opportunity.
"You're welcome. I want to eat here at noon," the woman looked at Qinchuan and said.
Qinchuan hurriedly said, "I couldn't ask for more. What do you want to eat?"
"I'll eat whatever you cook. I'm not picky," the woman said with a smile.
"Alright, I'll do it now!" Qinchuan looked at the sky. It seemed like it was about time.
"I can be your assistant," the woman said.
Qinchuan looked at her curiously. "Are you sure?"
The woman seemed to be a little hesitant, then said, "Then I'd better watch from the side …"
Qinchuan: "…"
Qinchuan actually regretted asking. It was better to let him help her out. He really wanted to see how this young lady cooked.
It was a pity that there was no chance. Qinchuan was skillfully cooking. Everything was natural and smooth. Watching Qinchuan cook was a kind of enjoyment. It was a visual impact. There were thousands of paths, and actually, cooking was also a path. It was just a matter of whether one could really walk into this path.
The woman looked at Qinchuan, who was busy in an orderly manner. It was the first time she saw someone cooking, but it was not bad. She had seen some male chefs, but when she saw Qinchuan again, she felt that her understanding of him was completely overturned.
Soon, a fragrant aroma wafted out. It seemed to be even better than the one Shen San made last time. Now she knew that Shen San was right when he said that Qinchuan's cooking was better.
"Young Mistress, come and help me carry the dishes," Qinchuan said to the woman while carrying two plates.
"Okay!" The woman walked over with a smile.
There were nine dishes for two people, three meat dishes, five vegetable dishes, and one soup.
"Come on, have a taste and see how my craftsmanship is." Qinchuan signaled the woman to eat.
"It's delicious. This is the most delicious meal I've ever eaten. I'm really curious about how you practice your cooking skills." The woman looked at Qinchuan curiously.
"Talent. I can't help it. I don't need to practice." Qinchuan said with a smile.
Looking at Qinchuan's proud look, she couldn't help laughing. "Are you always so smug?"
Qinchuan also smiled. "This is confidence, not smug."
"There seems to be something between you and Mr. Canglan, right?" The woman asked calmly.
Qinchuan was stunned. She shouldn't be gossiping. There should be something.
Qinchuan thought for a moment and said, "Yes!"
Since Qinchuan admitted it, the woman didn't ask anymore. Instead, she said, "Why did you come to my place? With your conditions, it should be easy for you to go anywhere. Jianglang County is ranked first and second from the bottom among the seven states and counties of Nantian Empire, and River Moon City can barely make it into the top ten cities."
Qinchuan looked at her and smiled. "Why? Are you worried that I have bad intentions?"
The woman shook her head. "I'm just curious!"
"Do you know that women can do anything, but you can't be curious about a man?"
"Why?" She looked at Qinchuan.
Qinchuan didn't say anything but said, "I'm an outsider. It's hard to enter your circle. The stronger you are, the harder it is to enter. I don't want to enter either. I just want to find a place to temporarily protect my life. Young Mistress, you are my savior."
The woman smiled at him. Her smile was very, very faint. "Alright, I'm leaving. Remember to go to the Earth Terminus Pool."
"Will you accompany me?" Qinchuan asked.
The woman hesitated for a moment and then nodded lightly. "Yes!"
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
On this day, Qinchuan and the woman left the City Lord's Mansion and headed for Jianglang Mountain.
Jianglang Mountain was the largest mountain in Jianglang County and spanned across the entire Jianglang County. The location of the Tiangang Well and the Earth Terminus Pool was very special because this part of Jianglang Mountain was in the middle of the sea. Fortunately, it was at the edge of the sea, a shallow sea.
It wasn't far away, but it would take a day and a night to get there from the City Lord's Mansion.
The two of them rode on a mount.
The woman's mount was a White Luan. Legend had it that she had the bloodline of the White Phoenix in her body. She was at the Celestial Realm and had a wingspan of 800 meters. She was very powerful and her flying ability was also very terrifying.
The blue sky and white clouds were surrounded by a cool breeze.
The woman's snow-white clothes swayed gently with the wind. Her long black hair, which draped over her shoulders, made her look even more holy and threatening at this moment. It was as if she was an immortal who had descended to the mortal world.
The woman turned her head and saw that Qinchuan was looking at her without blinking.
She saw Qinchuan's clear eyes and a complicated expression. She asked confusedly, "What is it?"
"Nothing." Qinchuan smiled and shook his head.
The two of them were silent and neither of them spoke. They just looked into the distance.
The sky turned dark and the two of them found a place to rest for the night. They would head out the next day. There was no need to travel at night and this route wasn't safe either.
They found a tall mountain peak. There was no one around and they could only sleep in the open. However, everyone had their own wooden houses.
They greeted each other and returned to their own wooden houses.
The distance between the two wooden houses wasn't far but it wasn't close either. Qinchuan couldn't get too close either.
In the middle of the night, Qinchuan opened his eyes. A few people appeared in the distance. Qinchuan sat up.
Were they here for him? Or for the woman?
No matter who they were, they had to fight.
The few of them were really strong. They were much stronger than the woman.
The three of them charged towards the woman's wooden house. The three of them charged towards their own wooden house.
Eh?
The sky was filled with red powder!
Was this poison?
Shua!
Peng peng peng …
