I meant, there actually exists such an enticing aroma. If not for this day, I wouldn’t have known of such a wonderful smell,” Wenren Wu-Shuang commented while licking her lips.
Qing Shui’s heart thumped hard against his chest when he saw that pink tongue. Even Wenren Wu-Shuang heard it as she turned red when she saw him staring at her lips.
On one side, the two strong coachmen looked especially dejected while chomping on the dry and tasteless rations. They contrasted themselves to Qing Shui and Wenren Wu-Shuang who were feasting at the pot. The chicken soup was as fine as nectar, and the chicken chunks were tender, fragrant, and heavenly!
“Delicious, absolutely delicious. Qing Shui, can you prepare this for me everyday?” Wenren Wu-Shuang said as she rubbed her slightly bulging tummy in satisfaction.
“Call me ‘husband’ and I will or ‘hubby’ can do too. If it’s too much, ‘brother’ is also acceptable,” Qing Shui knows that one would hanker for more after trying the chicken for the first time. Hence, he could not resist teasing this exceptional lady.
“Stop dreaming. Huh, you’ve taken enough advantage of me. Change your terms,” Wenren Wu-Shuang scowled, feeling anxious yet shy.
“I can change my terms – you have to proclaim to the public that you are mine. You are to acquiesce,” Qing Shui joked with feigned deliberation.
“No! Isn’t it the same?” Wenren Wu-Shuang glanced at Qing Shui bitterly.
“Then let’s change to a simple one – kiss me. This is easy, isn’t it…”
“Ah! If it’s to bite your face, I will agree…!”
Back on their way, it had been 10 days since the metallic bull beasts entered this desolate mountain range. In order to enter, they would have to go through the narrow and long valley.
“Friend, you’ve been following us for such a long time. I’ll be entering the valley if you don’t strike!” Qing Shui suddenly declared with a crystal-clear voice. It was penetrating, but not loud.
“Hahaha, you do have acute senses!” The mountains resounded with a wild laughter. A burly man with a flushed face appeared in the middle of the road.
Qing Shui sized the man up as he descended from the metallic bull beasts with Wenren Wu-Shuang!
He had coarse features, a monstrous nose, a gigantic mouth, and eyes that were piercing yet lewd. He looked forty-ish and dressed like a commoner. At that moment, he was ogling at Wenren Wu-Shuang with a glint in his eye that all men could recognize.
The most unique part of the burly man were his hands that were shaped like a palm fan. They were double the size of a normal hand, and had ten thick fingers that were unusually dull and golden.
“Speak, why were you following us?” Qing Shui frowned. He could see that the man was strong, at least stronger than the guy from Situ Clan. But it did not seem strange meeting him here in such a desolate place.
“I only desire two things in life – food and women!” The man answered with a sinister laugh which, coupled with his large eyes, could make one shudder.
Wenren Wu-Shuang felt uncomfortable, even fearful, as she looked into his devilish and lewd stare.
