Jiang Tangtang inexplicably recalled the scene between the two of them on the cliff. Her face suddenly flushed red, and she stubbornly retorted, "Who was being naughty?"
Lu Shiyan reached out and instantly pulled her into his arms.
Jiang Tangtang bumped into his hard chest, feeling the powerful beating of his chest, and her heart started racing.
She instinctively wanted to back down, but when she met his provocative gaze, she inexplicably felt that backing down would be shameful.
She steeled herself and wrapped her arms around his neck.
It's just sleeping with men.
What's so scary about it?
She got to sleep without spending any money, so she actually came out ahead.
Looking at her expression, Lu Shiyan suddenly laughed. He took a small step back to create some distance, then reached out and pinched her cheek. He pulled out a handful of wild berries from his pocket and said, "Go and eat them over there!"
These are wild fruits that he has imbued with spiritual energy.
Not only do they taste good, but eating them regularly is also good for your health. Every time he sees wild fruit, he picks some, selects the best-looking ones, and infuses them with spiritual energy for Jiang Tangtang to eat.
Jiang Tangtang looked at the bright red wild berries, which exuded a rich aroma. After struggling for a while between earning points and satisfying her craving, she finally accepted the berries and decided to eat them first.
Watching Jiang Tangtang holding wild fruit, sitting on the mat with her eyes half-closed in enjoyment, Lu Shiyan didn't know whether he was disappointed or finally relieved.
He took the clothes and walked a little further into the cave.
By the time Jiang Tangtang finished eating the wild fruit in her hand, he had already changed his clothes.
Seeing his neatly dressed appearance, Jiang Tangtang pouted and sighed inwardly, calling him a chaste and virtuous man.
Lu Shiyan was unaware of her inner thoughts.
He rolled up his sleeves and asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
When it came to food, Jiang Tangtang forgot all about her inner complaints and happily said, "Braised pork belly, Sichuan-style spicy chicken, braised mutton stew..."
That pork was something they bought and stored in their spatial dimension when they were in Baiyue.
Besides pork, there are also lamb and chicken.
They encountered these items while shopping, bought a little of each, and then put them all into their storage space when no one was looking.
At this time of year, pork and mutton are naturally not cheap.
However, when Lu Shiyan went to Baiyue, he brought with him the silver he had obtained from the corrupt official Magistrate Guo when he rescued the Cui family mother and daughter last time.
In addition, she collected medicinal herbs along the way and sold them for a large sum of money. Jiang Tangtang didn't feel bad about spending it.
She had no idea that she would receive such a large sum of silver from Prince Duan's warehouse. If she had known, she probably would have bought even more.
Lu Shiyan said with some helplessness, "You want me to cook you a Manchu Han Imperial Feast in this cave?"
Jiang Tangtang glanced at the simple cave and muttered in disappointment, "Then why did you ask me?"
Lu Shiyan smiled helplessly, "I didn't expect you to have such a good appetite!"
Watching him roll up his sleeves and light a fire, Jiang Tangtang couldn't help but think to herself, "This is no immortal lord at all. With his alluring smile, he's definitely a male demon."
After lighting the fire, Lu Shiyan raised an eyebrow and glanced at her, saying, "What are you secretly criticizing me for now?"
Jiang Tangtang immediately called out to the system with a face full of doubt, "[He really can't read minds?]"
The system replied lazily, "[No.]"
Jiang Tangtang looked at her with suspicion. "You're not lying to me?"
The system ignored her paranoia and simply disappeared.
When Jiang Tangtang met Lu Shiyan's gaze again, she tentatively asked, "How did you know I was secretly criticizing you? Do you have some kind of black magic that lets you know what I'm thinking?"
She suspected the system was guilty and had deceived her, which was why it ran away so quickly.
Lu Shiyan was amused by her, "What do you think about all day long?"
Seeing his expression, Jiang Tangtang knew she was overthinking things, so she changed the subject, saying, "The rain is getting heavier."
Lu Shiyan glanced outside, and frowned as if he had thought of something.
But soon, his expression relaxed, and he focused on cooking.
He chopped the washed pork belly and put it into an iron pot. After the pork belly rendered its fat, he added diced yam and stir-fried it together until fragrant. He then placed the yam at the bottom of the pot and topped it with washed rice.
Once the rice is cooked, mix the rice on top with the pork belly and yam underneath.
The plump rice grains mix with the lard at the bottom of the pot, emitting a rich aroma, while the bottom of the pot, soaked in oil, has golden-yam crisps.
After just one bite, Jiang Tangtang wished she could swallow her tongue whole. Her eyes lit up as she looked at Lu Shiyan, "Husband, your cooking is so delicious!"
He's handsome and cooks so well. In modern times, a man like him would be impossible to keep without a substantial sum of money in your bank account.
She doesn't have to spend any money now; this man cooks for her and teases her. It's like she's getting a free ride.
Thinking this way, the rice in the bowl smelled even better.
One glance at a handsome man and a bite of rice; using handsome men to accompany her meals, Jiang Tangtang unknowingly ate too much.
After the meal, seeing Jiang Tangtang clutching her stomach and groaning in discomfort, Lu Shiyan rubbed his forehead helplessly, "She's not a child anymore, how could she eat so much?"
Jiang Tangtang glared at him angrily. How could she be blamed? If he hadn't been so appetizing, would she have eaten so much?
Lu Shiyan glanced outside and saw that it was still raining, so he could only say, "Give me your hand."
Jiang Tangtang pouted, looking aggrieved. "What?"
"Let me pinch your acupoints."
Jiang Tangtang covered her face, feeling so embarrassed!
"Alright, don't be shy." Lu Shiyan pulled her hand over and pressed the acupoints on her hand.
Since she had already lost face, Jiang Tangtang couldn't be bothered to care anymore.
She took out a few pillows from her spatial storage, leaned half her body against them, and settled into a comfortable position. Then she tried to hypnotize herself, telling herself that the person pinching her acupoints was a maid and that she shouldn't be embarrassed.
And so, with self-suggestion and Lu Shiyan's comforting care, she quickly fell asleep.
Lu Shiyan gave her a deep look, placed her hand properly, and sat down to meditate.
Unlike the tranquility and warmth of the cave, the Prince Duan's mansion was currently engulfed in a storm.
This afternoon, taking advantage of the rain, the Western Rong launched a surprise attack on Yiling and captured another city.
The gold, silver, and military supplies in the secret vault vanished without a trace, and the subsequent loss of two cities left...
Prince Duan's anger had reached its peak.
That night, the two newly arrived boys were tortured by Prince Duan until they were covered in blood and flesh, and were carried out of the mansion stiffly.
The head eunuch of the manor was no stranger to such matters, and he skillfully arranged for people to carry it out and bury it.
Then he instructed someone, "Send a message to Marquis Changping, and tell him to send over a few more fresh ones."
With the prince's anger, who knows when he'll finish venting it.
If he wants to vent but no new people are available, then they'll be the ones who suffer.
The junior supervisor in charge of this matter quickly accepted the order and left.
