Zhao Min blushed and instinctively avoided Li Huan's gaze.
Li Huan deliberately said, "Miss Zhao is so hospitable, I am willing to transfer my internal energy to you to help you cultivate the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra!"
"I estimate that in about ten days, Miss Zhao will be able to master the 'Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Sword Technique' and become a top-notch martial arts master!"
Zhao Min hurriedly said, "Thank you, Master Li, but this 'Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Sword Technique' is quite troublesome to practice. I'd rather not practice it!"
Li Huan almost burst out laughing.
Zhao Min said, "However, Leader Li's lightness skill is truly superb. Could you teach me?"
Li Huan said in a serious tone, "My lightness skill also comes from the Ancient Tomb Sect's 'Jade Maiden Heart Sutra'."
Zhao Min was speechless.
Li Huan clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Zhao. We are in a hurry to get on our way, so we will take our leave now and meet again another day!"
Playing hard to get, let's see what other tricks Zhao Min can pull.
Zhao Min quickly stood up: "Master Li, if you won't teach me martial arts, could you teach me cooking?"
Li Huan was taken aback: "You...you want to learn cooking?"
Zhao Min said, "To be honest, I grew up in the north and rarely tasted the cuisine of Jiangnan and southern Guangdong. Today, enjoying Master Li's meal has whetted my appetite and I still want more!"
Li Huan sneered inwardly.
Zhao Min tried every means to persuade Laozi to stay.
This shows that Zhao Min has a stubborn personality and will not give up until she achieves her goal.
She had meticulously designed a snare toss, but failed to catch her prey. How could she give up so easily?
Li Huan asked, "Miss Zhao, which dish would you like to learn to cook?"
Zhao Min pointed to the "spicy crayfish" and smiled broadly: "I absolutely love eating crayfish!"
That's true.
Zhao Min's plate was piled high with shrimp shells; she ate a full thirty "spicy crayfish".
Li Huan said, "Crayfish come from overseas countries. Even after Miss Zhao learned how to cook them, she still can't buy them!"
Zhao Min asked, "Where did Master Li buy the crayfish from?"
Li Huan lied, "Every time I go to foreign lands, I buy all kinds of ingredients and store them in my friend's warehouse when I return to the Central Plains."
"Last time, I bought 10,000 catties of crayfish and kept them in tanks in the warehouse to keep them fresh, but unfortunately there aren't many left..."
Zhao Min said, "I have learned how to cook spicy crayfish, and I can also send someone to purchase them from overseas countries, or use river shrimp instead!"
Seeing that Zhao Min kept pestering him, Li Huan had no choice but to say, "Alright, I'm willing to teach you how to cook spicy crayfish!"
"Wuji, you all go to the guest rooms and rest first. I want to have a long talk with Miss Zhao!"
Zhang Wuji obeyed the order and led everyone away from the waterside pavilion.
Only Li Huan and Zhao Min remained in the garden.
"Miss Zhao, what dishes can you cook?"
"To be honest, I know absolutely nothing about cooking."
"If you don't know how to cook, you should practice for at least a whole day if you want to learn how to cook spicy crayfish!"
"I will try to learn quickly so as not to delay Master Li's journey."
Suddenly, Li Huan reached out and pressed down on Zhao Min's shoulder!
"Master Li! You..." Zhao Min's expression was tense, and she instinctively resisted.
She felt that Li Huan's hand was as heavy as a boulder, and she couldn't break free at all.
Li Huan's eyes were sharp, and his tone was serious.
"Our family's ancestral culinary skills are only passed down to wives, concubines, and children; they are never passed on to outsiders!"
"If you want to learn how to cook 'spicy crayfish,' you must become my wife!"
"What?" Zhao Min's expression changed drastically. "Become your wife? No...no...I won't study anymore..."
Li Huan said, "You were just making a fuss about wanting to learn, but now you're backing out. Are you making a fool of me?"
Zhao Min hurriedly said, "How would I know about your family's rules for passing down culinary skills..."
Li Huan suddenly smiled, feigning wickedness.
"Let's go to the bridal chamber first, then learn how to cook!"
Zhao Min immediately became anxious and reached out to press the mechanism on the lower edge of the stone table!
With a snap, the floor of the waterside pavilion opened up, revealing a trap!
Li Huan's feet slipped, and his body plummeted downwards.
At the same time, Zhao Min held onto the table tightly to prevent herself from falling into the trap.
Li Huan used his lightness skill to leap upwards, grabbed Zhao Min's arm, pulled her into his arms, and the two of them fell into the trap together!
It was pitch black before my eyes.
Li Huan landed steadily at the bottom of the trap, still holding Zhao Min tightly, preventing her from struggling.
Click!
The top of the trap was closed.
Li Huan raised his foot and kicked the side wall of the trap, producing a "thump-thump" sound of steel plates.
Zhao Min cried out, "Let me go! Let me go!"
Li Huan smiled and said, "You smell so good, and you're so gentle."
In the darkness, Zhao Min's face was not visible, but it must have been as red as a tomato.
Zhao Min shouted, "Li Huan! Stop your violence! This trap is made of pure steel on all sides, and the top is covered with steel plates. There are also eight thick steel bars. No matter how powerful you are, you cannot escape!"
Li Huan said, "Why would I run away? I have a beautiful woman in my arms, keeping me company. Anyone who runs away is a fool!"
"You..." Zhao Min snorted angrily.
Li Huan released Zhao Min, unzipped his fanny pack, and took out his phone.
Immediately afterwards, the phone was turned on, and the screen lit up.
"What...what is this?" Zhao Min asked curiously, taking a step back warily.
Li Huan checked her phone's battery level; it was 80% remaining, which was enough for her needs.
He quickly switched on his flashlight and illuminated the trap.
"Wow! It's so bright!" Zhao Min exclaimed.
Li Huan deliberately raised his phone and shone the flashlight into Zhao Min's eyes, and she quickly raised her hand to cover them.
Upon closer inspection, the trap is about fifteen meters high, and the steel plates around it are very smooth and impossible to climb. Even with superb lightness skills and profound internal strength, it would be difficult to break through the top and escape the trap.
Moreover, the top is covered by a steel plate, and there are many thick steel bars blocking the way.
Li Huan turned off the flashlight, set the screen to a white interface, and turned the brightness to the maximum.
In this way, the light emitted by the phone is softer and not too bright.
Zhao Min lowered her hands and looked at the phone screen with curiosity again.
Li Huan said, "Miss Zhao, you have such good taste! You've built a special place just to serve as our bridal chamber."
"The bridal chamber?" Zhao Min's beautiful eyes widened.
Li Huan stepped forward, approaching Zhao Min.
"It's very quiet here. You can shout at the top of your lungs and no one will hear you. It's the perfect place for a wedding chamber!"
Zhao Min understood what Li Huan meant, and her face turned bright red, just like a tomato.
"You...you mustn't misunderstand. I used this trap to deal with enemies, not with you..."
Li Huan said, "No matter who you're dealing with, I really like the atmosphere here. Let's quickly consummate our marriage and I'll teach you the Li family's unique culinary skills to cook spicy crayfish!"
"Hehehe..."
Li Huan deliberately let out an evil laugh, staring at Zhao Min's slender waist.
Instantly, Zhao Min trembled a few times in fright and covered her collar with both hands.
Her attempt to resist with force was like an egg hitting a rock.
Giving up resistance is like a lamb entering a tiger's den.
Zhao Min was unwilling to give up and threatened in a shrill voice: "If you dare to touch me, I will bite my tongue and kill myself!"
Li Huan said with a grin, "You want to commit suicide? I don't believe it!"
As the Princess of Ruyang, Zhao Min was ambitious, so why would she commit suicide?
