Lu Ao walked down the mountain with a small bag of wild fruits, looking happy. He didn't know what good luck he had today, not only did he successfully break through to the first level of Martial King, but he even found a mid-grade Xuan-level spiritual flower.
With this thing, his chances of successfully building his body this time would reach 80%.
When he was about to reach home, he suddenly heard voices coming from inside the house. His heart tightened and he stepped secretly to the straw cage near the door.
He stuck his head out and stared at the stranger who suddenly appeared in his house with unfriendly eyes.
The two people at the door didn't seem to notice and were still talking and laughing.
Lu Ao couldn't quite hear what the two were saying. He frowned, and a long list of figures flashed through his mind. Could these people be looking for him? But he didn't seem to recognize any of them!
He lowered his head and cautiously retreated to where he had come down. The leaves wrapped around the wild fruit were somewhat rotten, so he had to carry them in his hands as he walked to the cabin.
He acted completely clueless and walked to the door. When he saw Ye Xin and the other two, he was stunned for a moment. "Who are you?"
Hai Lan was startled by the interruption of their conversation and stood up from her chair. She looked at the burly Lu Ao and suddenly felt a little scared. She didn't know where to start.
Ye Xin straightened the chair that Hai Lan had kicked over and stood up slowly. "We are villagers from the fishing village downstairs. We just ran into Zhenzhen, and she asked us to come for lunch."
Hearing that they were from the fishing village, Lu Ao let down his guard slightly.
He knew there was a fishing village at the foot of the mountain, and he had run into villagers who had gone out halfway up the mountain before. They said the small wooden houses on the other side were where the villagers stayed when they went out, and that they would always cross this mountain whenever they went out.
Lu Ao has only been here for more than a year. In order to avoid suspicion, he chose to run to the mountains, but he didn't expect that there was a village hidden at the foot of the mountain.
After living there for a long time, he never saw anyone come here, so he didn't pay much attention to it. But today, he was surprised to see two women running up from below. I wonder if they heard that there was a treasure on the mountain and came here on purpose?
Shui Zhenzhen in the kitchen heard the sound, hurriedly put down what she was holding and ran out of the kitchen.
When she saw Lu Ao coming back, her bright eyes were filled with joy, "Brother Lu, you're back."
Lu Ao responded, handed the wild fruit in his hand to Shui Zhenzhen, ignored the two people under the eaves, and walked into the wooden house with an expressionless face.
Shui Zhenzhen seemed to be accustomed to Lu Ao's cold face, and returned to the kitchen with the wild fruits in her hands, looking disappointed.
Hailan leaned close to Ye Xin's ear and pointed at the person in the wooden house, whispering, "Sister Ye, this person looks so fierce! I was really scared just now."
Ye Xin squinted at the other person and put down the finger she was pointing at. "Since you know he's a vicious person, stay away from him next time you see him."
What? I'll see him again. Hailan shook her head in horror, her whole body filled with resistance, "Impossible, I don't want to see him, I will never come up here again."
Shui Zhenzhen worked hard for a long time and finally poked her head out of the kitchen. "Sister Ye, Lanlan, we can prepare dinner now."
When she heard that it was time to eat, Hai Lan's gloom disappeared. She jumped into the kitchen and brought out a pot of food for Shui Zhenzhen.
As she walked, she exclaimed, "Sister Ye, the chicken soup is really cooked, and it smells so delicious!"
Ye Xin set the table and said with a smile, "Really? Then I'll have to drink an extra bowl of soup to thank Zhenzhen."
Shui Zhenzhen was walking behind. When she heard the two people praising her, the corners of her lips curled up slightly. "Sister Ye, please stop teasing me. You were the one who caught the pheasant. I just added fuel to the fire. I feel unworthy of what you are saying!"
She put down the food in her hand and walked to the innermost room of the wooden house. Just as she was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, it was opened from the inside.
Lu Ao stood at the door with an impatient look on his face. His outer robe was loose and untied, and his inner garment was open in a large area, exposing a large area of wheat-colored skin. There was a subtle anger in his eyes, as if someone had interrupted his good thing.
"What's up?"
Shui Zhenzhen accidentally saw Lu Ao's skin, her pretty face turned red, and she quickly avoided looking at him.
"Brother Lu, we can have lunch now."
"Okay, got it." Lu Ao's tone was cold. He ignored Shui Zhenzhen's blushing cheeks, closed the door, fastened his clothes and strode out.
Shui Zhenzhen patted her slightly hot face, calmed herself down, and then reluctantly returned to the dining table.
Ye Xin had already sat down. She looked at the strange atmosphere between Shui Zhenzhen and Lu Ao, and her eyes darkened. It seemed that she had guessed wrong before. They were not a young couple living in seclusion here, but it was just Zhenzhen's wishful thinking!
Shui Zhenzhen calmed down and introduced the two to Lu Ao at the dinner table, "Brother Lu, this is Sister Ye Xin, and this is Sister Hai Lan. They are both villagers from the fishing village down below. We met by chance today."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ao glanced past Hai Lan and stopped his gaze on Ye Xin, "I already knew it just now." His tone was light and no emotion could be heard.
Shui Zhenzhen was used to it and turned to introduce Ye Xin and the others, "Sister Ye, Lanlan, this is the brother Lu Ao I told you about. He's not good at talking, so I hope you can forgive him."
Hailan grabbed Ye Xin with her hand under the table and said dryly, "How could that be? We don't mind, right? Sister Ye."
She was a little frightened by Lu Ao's gaze, and tried her best to ignore the murderous look next to her and speed up her movements.
Sister Ye, did you see that? His eyes are so scary!
Ye Xin pulled back her sleeves and looked up to meet Lu Ao's scrutinizing gaze. "Lu Ao, I seem to have heard this name somewhere before."
