Chapter 76 A Strange Tale of a Thousand Years

At this moment, the scene seemed to freeze.

Xiao Potian and Zhou Xianzong just stared at Luo Le'er.

After a while, Zhou Xianzong spoke first.

"No, that's all?"

"That's all. Didn't I already thank you?"

Luo Le'er nodded.

Zhou Xianzong: "???"

Xiao Potian: "???"

Damn it, where's the promised touching moment?

What happened to the promised riotous tears?

I've already taken my pants off, and this is what you show me?

"Xiao Potian, I have important matters to attend to. You should go first."

Luo Le'er said something indifferently.

"Ah, oh, okay, Le'er, see you next time."

Xiao Potian agreed, somewhat bewildered.

He felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Moreover, he felt like he had heard Luo Le'er's words somewhere before.

Le'er is acting strange today; she shouldn't be so indifferent to me.

However, she accepted my gift.

You should know that when Zhou Xianzong gave her the gift, she didn't even reach out to take it.

Yes, she definitely still loves me.

They're just still sulking, that's for sure.

Zhou Xianzong stared at his retreating figure, still a little confused.

This, this whole plot twist is pretty much what it should be like today, right?

I accepted the gift, but I was also humiliated.

Yes, that should be it.

But he still didn't quite understand; Luo Le'er's reaction should have been one of great joy.

At that moment, Zhou Xianzong asked.

"Le'er, Xiao Potian gave you pills, aren't you happy?"

"What's there to be happy about?"

Luo Le'er pouted.

"So you're not happy, why did you accept it?"

"If it can suppress my cold symptoms, why wouldn't I take it? It's free money, so why not?"

Besides, it wasn't like she asked Xiao Potian to give it to her.

Moreover, this elixir was indeed able to suppress the cold symptoms, which saved her a lot of trouble in the future.

Upon hearing this answer, Zhou Xianzong was stunned.

"By the way, I really like the phoenix feather armor you gave me, hehe."

Luo Le'er smiled playfully at Zhou Xianzong.

Zhou Xianzong was speechless.

He winked at Luo Le'er and teased her.

"Since you like it, why don't you feed the rest of the soup to him/her?"

Zhou Xianzong was slightly surprised to see this, not expecting that someone of Mo Wu's status would eat in such a place.

For Zhou Xianzong, his words were merely meant to tease Luo Le'er.

He never imagined that this woman would actually feed him herself.

It's good that Mo Wu is here now. If Mo Wu can feed him, that would be great.

Before Zhou Xianzong could even speak, Luo Le'er, as if protecting her own offspring, picked up the bowl of spicy soup that had just been mixed with a lot of vinegar, rolled her eyes at Mo Wu, and then shouted fiercely at Zhou Xianzong.

"Open your mouth!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xianzong froze on the spot.

He even wondered if he was hallucinating. When did this woman become so attentive? Something was off.

"What are you looking at? Didn't you want me to feed you?"

Luo Le'er said, her pretty face flushed.

Mo Wu was also stunned.

this……

She glanced at Zhou Xianzong, then at Luo Le'er.

She has always firmly believed that Luo Le'er has a script.

After all, Luo Le'er's reactions were really too abnormal every time. If it were only once or twice, it could be understood.

But something always seems off, which clearly shows that Luo Le'er definitely has a script.

This shows that Luo Le'er clearly knew that Zhou Xianzong did not love her, so why did she still feed him herself?

Could it be... that this girl has fallen for him?

Thinking of this, Mo Wu was extremely shocked.

But that's not necessarily true; feeding someone soup doesn't prove anything.

Zhou Xianzong's body trembled violently. "Are you really going to feed me?"

Come on, do you think I'm afraid of you?

He opened his mouth.

"ah……"

After taking one bite, Zhou Xianzong's face immediately changed; he felt as if his jaw was about to fall off.

This isn't soup at all, it's practically vinegar!

A sour taste filled his mouth, making him feel like his teeth were about to fall out and he couldn't muster any strength.

Seeing this, Luo Le'er gave a mischievous smile.

She suppressed a laugh and said with a slightly sly smile.

There's still so much left in the bowl, you should drink it all.

"Pfft..."

Mo Wu couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle softly.

She originally thought Zhou Xianzong was cunning enough, but she didn't expect this girl to be just as shrewd.

"I... I suddenly feel a little full."

Zhou Xianzong waved his hands repeatedly.

If he keeps drinking, he won't need to eat anything today.

"I have something to do, I'll head back now."

After saying this, Zhou Xianzong fled in panic.

Damn it, I've been tricked.

He thought he was the hunter, but it turned out he was the prey, and he almost got killed by Luo Le'er.

After returning to the carriage, Zhou Xianzong called out to Erhu.

"Let's go back."

"Okay, boss."

Erhu nodded.

As the carriage sped along, Zhou Xianzong couldn't help but think about what would happen next.

Although he didn't have much to do for the past two weeks.

But Xiao Potian can be very active.

After Xiao Potian obtained the eighth-grade alchemist badge, he did not immediately go back to refine medicine.

Instead, he went to the Monster Forest to train.

For these main characters, the Monster Forest is the perfect place to fight monsters and level up.

Here, Xiao Potian naturally had a wealth of experiences.

He killed many people, including stragglers from a caravan he encountered by chance, and assassins hunted down by the Crimson Tower.

Those were just insignificant extras; the real highlight was Xiao Potian's accidental battle at a calm lake.

Zhou Xianzong remembered that there was a giant python in that lake, guarding a medicinal herb and two snake eggs.

Unfortunately, an elder from the Overlord Body Sect discovered them and fought a fierce battle with the giant python in an attempt to seize the medicinal herbs.

Although the matter ultimately resulted in a lose-lose situation, don't forget that there was also Xiao Potian.

As the protagonist, his motto is: "If anyone dares to bully me for a moment, I will kill their whole family."

He secretly killed the elder.

Unfortunately, the giant python died due to its severe injuries.

Before its death, the giant python retrieved medicinal herbs and entrusted its two snake eggs to Xiao Potian.

Xiao Potian originally didn't want to agree, but the old man with the jade pendant told him that the two snake eggs showed signs of reversion to their ancestral form.

Xiao Potian then agreed.

Once Xiao Potian had obtained enough medicinal herbs, he quickly refined a pill. The rich aroma of the pill attracted Mo Wu, who was passing through the Monster Forest.

Zhou Xianzong didn't know why Mo Wu would pass by. He guessed that the author needed Mo Wu to appear, so she appeared as required by the plot.

What follows is the storyline of their interactions, which also marks the first time Xiao Potian truly enters Mo Wu's field of vision.

"Sigh, it's so painful. Sister Mo is about to start betting on Xiao Potian. Although she won't bet much at first and it won't change anything, she'll gradually switch sides and become one of Xiao Potian's people."

Zhou Xianzong sighed.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he has a lot of people around him now.

In reality, none of them were his confidants.

Take Yingxi and Luo Le'er for example, one is destined to betray her, and the other is the female lead.

Damn, this villain is really frustrated.

Upon returning to the sect's elegant residence, Zhou Xianzong discovered that Yingxi was actually washing his clothes.

Holy crap, this is truly an unprecedented event!

When did assassins become able to do this kind of work?
