Chapter 24: Encountering Rong Xiu in the Forest



Hua Yuanzhao dragged his fat body and jogged all the way, panting with exhaustion.

Yesterday she saw many familiar herbs in this forest. Although these herbs cannot be used to treat diseases when combined, they have a unique fragrance when burned together.

She had tried this before when she was doing experiments in her previous life, and found that this scent was fatally attractive to many birds.

Fortunately, these herbs were not difficult to find. Relying on her memory from yesterday, she found four or five kinds of herbs in just half a quarter of an hour.

The rare orange pine grass and half winter grass, which were rare in the previous life, can be seen everywhere here, lush and green like the weeds on the roadside.

Hua Yuanzhao counted them and found that the only ingredient missing was purple iris grass.

This herb blooms in spring, and the flowers are shaped like purple irises, but are only the size of a thumbnail, much smaller than irises.

“I think I saw it when I was going down the mountain…”

Hua Yuanzhao murmured to himself and searched according to his memory. Sure enough, he saw a bright purple color beside a steep slope at the edge of the mountain.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but as soon as she stepped on the edge of the steep slope, the ground beneath her feet softened and small pieces of rock rolled down.

Hua Yuanzhao's eyelids twitched and he quickly retracted his foot, tentatively knelt down beside the steep slope and reached out to reach the purple iris grass.

However, he was fat, and no matter how long he stretched his arms, his fingertips were still two or three inches away from the purple iris grass.

Looking at the purple iris swaying in the wind with resentment, Hua Yuanzhao complained in his heart:

Are you trying to make things difficult for me, Fat Tiger?

She squirmed her body and rubbed forward, supporting herself on the ground with one hand and stretching the other hand straight, determined to fight to the death with the purple iris grass!

At this moment, the hands that were supporting the ground suddenly went limp, Hua Yuanzhao suddenly lost his leverage, and the whole person rolled down like a ball.

"Zhao Zhao!"

Hua Yuanzhao only heard a familiar scream, and the next moment someone seemed to pull her belt.

The force of her falling body was relaxed for a moment, and before Hua Yuanzhao could rejoice, the man fell on her and rolled down with her.

Rong Xiu didn't expect that he couldn't hold her, but would be pulled down by her inertia.

But he reacted extremely quickly, and almost as soon as he fell, he used the force to fly over and hugged her tightly, protecting the back of her head with one hand and her vulnerable waist with the other.

Fortunately, there was a flat grassland below the steep slope, and the two rolled several times on the grass before stopping.

Hua Yuanzhao came back to his senses from the dizziness and felt something soft under him, as if there was a cushion.

She opened her eyes tentatively, and their breaths entangled when their eyes met, with their lips and teeth less than an inch apart.

His hands were still on her waist and clasped behind her head, and Hua Yuanzhao could even clearly feel the strength in her hands.

The distance between the heads unconsciously got closer, Rong Xiu looked at the dumbfounded Hua Yuanzhao, a smile in his eyes.

Hua Yuanzhao suddenly came back to his senses, held Rongxiu's shoulders to support himself, and climbed up with difficulty.

Rong Xiu groaned, silently enduring the pain in his shoulder, and just smiled as he watched Hua Yuanzhao stand up with difficulty.

Well, although being chubby is cute, it’s so hard to crawl… I still need to lose some weight…

He felt distressed when he saw that she had to gasp for breath even when walking.

Hua Yuanzhao got up and turned around to see someone sitting on the ground with one leg propped up, trying to hold back a laugh, with a malicious look on his face.

Thinking of the good things he had done before and what Fuling said, Hua Yuanzhao immediately frowned.

Everyone is on the mountain now. Why is he coming here instead of going to the banquet?

"Thank you, General Rong..." Hua Yuanzhao cleared his throat.

Without waiting for Rong Xiu to answer, she changed the subject and pressed, "But why is General Rong here?"

The smile in Rong Xiu's eyes suddenly disappeared, he frowned and looked at Hua Yuanzhao, feeling dissatisfied.

——She was calling him Young Master tenderly yesterday, why did she change to calling him such a strange name as 'Young General Rong' today?

Unexpectedly, when he looked over, he saw that her eyes were full of vigilance, and her hand hidden under her sleeve seemed to be holding something.

Rong Xiu narrowed his eyes and felt amused.

With her fancy moves, if I really have bad intentions, can she still escape?

Pretending to be serious, Rong Xiu stood up in silence and approached Hua Yuanzhao step by step.
