"You pervert! Stop singing!" Yu Tihu couldn't take it anymore. She suddenly stood up and threw a half-eaten bag of chocolates at Li Yang.
Li Yang reached out and caught it. He looked at the bite marks and the faint traces of saliva on it, chuckled, and took a bite, making a loud smacking sound. Besides the rich aroma of chocolate, there was also a faint, refreshing fragrance. Could it be the taste of Yu Tihu's saliva?
"You, you, you scoundrel!" Yu Tihu panicked upon seeing Li Yang's actions. Wasn't this an indirect kiss?
"Well, you ate your chocolate! You'll have to pay with this chicken!" Li Yang said, grabbing the intact roast chicken and tossing it around. The roast chicken, still sticking out of the twig, streaked across the yellow light and flew straight towards Simba.
Simba leaped out and caught the golden roast chicken with perfect precision, spinning around to catch it steadily without his hand touching it.
Simba glanced at Li Yang gratefully, his opinion of her immediately improving. He chuckled and said, "Miss, eat up. It tastes delicious!"
Li Yang's behavior immediately deflated the anger of the jade miners who were annoyed by his smugness, who secretly thought that this person wasn't really that bad!
Yu Tihu snorted, "I won't eat his food!"
Li Yang smiled faintly, lay back on the ground with his hands on his head, picked a broad leaf and covered his face with it, and fell fast asleep.
Everyone gets sleepy at midday in the summer, and Li Yang's actions immediately caused the jade miners to yawn as well, and they lay down on the ground to sleep, their eyes still blurry with sleep.
Yu Tihu glanced at Ke Ke secretly and found that he was asleep with his face covered. She thought to herself that this person wasn't entirely useless. The shyness and embarrassment in her heart immediately lessened a lot. In addition, she had been eating too many snacks all day and was vomiting. For the first time, she felt that snacks were not a good thing.
The enticing aroma of the roasted chicken wafted into my nostrils, and my stomach immediately began to rumble.
"Eat up, Miss!" Simba's eyes lit up as he shoved the roast chicken into Yu Tihu's hands and turned to leave.
The combination of free-range pheasant, Li Yang's seasonings, and his skillful grilling techniques resulted in a truly exceptional roasted chicken.
Yu Tihu couldn't hold back any longer. She secretly glanced at Li Yang and found that he was indeed sleeping. She grabbed a tree branch and bit him hard.
My mouth was instantly filled with a wonderful aroma, and the texture was smooth and tender—it was indescribably delicious! I devoured it without even looking up.
On the opposite bank, Li Yang gently removed the leaves and watched with a smile as Miss Yu Tihu devoured her food, yet still managed to look beautiful. He couldn't help but admire her upbringing and manners.
Chapter 409: Discovery
Perhaps it was because Li Yang's gaze was too direct and too sharp. Yu Tihu, who had just finished half of the roast chicken, suddenly turned around and saw Li Yang smiling at her with a mouthful of white teeth.
Yu Tihu's face instantly turned bright red, burning hot, almost hot enough to boil water.
Suddenly, he became uneasy, unsure whether to sit or stand, muttering to himself with a piece of chicken still in his mouth, unsure whether to swallow it or spit it out.
"Isn't it delicious? I never expected my cooking skills to be so good. Hehe, if it's good, I'll bake some more tonight!" Li Yang said with a smile. There was not a trace of mockery or contempt in his voice.
Yu Tihu glanced at him in surprise, then breathed a sigh of relief and went along with it, biting her lip and whispering, "The taste is alright!"
"That's right, I practiced specifically for that purpose, but I became obsessed after watching Stephen Chow's 'Flirting Scholar.' Do you like Stephen Chow's movies?" Li Yang asked casually.
Yu Tihu also relaxed her guard, seemingly forgetting how despicable Li Yang was. She swallowed the chicken in her mouth and smiled slightly, "I like it, it's so funny."
Li Yang secretly broke out in a cold sweat. He hadn't expected that this spoiled young lady would also like Stephen Chow's movies. He wondered if she would laugh so hard that tears would stream down her face while watching them.
Uh, that image is just too ridiculous. Li Yang shook his head to banish such a bizarre thought.
The two chatted about some trivial matters before Li Yang fell fast asleep. At this point, Yu Tihu stared at him for a moment with a complicated expression, then tidied up the leftover roast chicken, wrapped it in large, washed leaves, put it in her backpack, and closed her eyes to rest as well.
"You all go into the mountains to search, I want to take a bath here!"
In the afternoon, Li Yang's sudden announcement caused dissatisfaction among the jade miners. After all, wasn't the reason they went up the mountain for Li Yang's sake?
Everyone finding a mineral vein would benefit you, but you've chosen not to bother looking for one, just to take a bath.
He's truly hopeless, a hopeless case. It seems he's destined to lose this competition. Some people think so too, assuming Li Yang believes he's already lost and has simply given up, ceasing his search up the mountain.
Amra shook her head and led her men up the mountain to continue searching for mineral veins. This time, the Jade King had given instructions that regardless of whether it was for Li Yang or not, anyone who found a mineral vein would be richly rewarded.
Even if it weren't for Li Yang, they would still work hard.
Li Yang leisurely leaned against a large rock, basking in the sun. Because of the stream, there were no trees to block the sunlight, so patches of sunlight shone down on him, making him feel warm and comfortable in this deep mountain forest.
However, Yu Tihu on the other side also glanced at Li Yang with some disdain. She had originally thought he was a shameless rogue, but her opinion of him had changed slightly, and she thought he wasn't too bad. She didn't expect him to be so unambitious and give up at such a small difficulty.
She was utterly useless; she despised men who were lazy and unambitious. She admired her father's ability to manipulate events with ease, controlling the future and destiny of many with a single word, commanding thousands to their doom.
She also found the roast chicken utterly disgusting, and as she rounded a corner, she pulled it out and threw it on the ground. She muttered a curse under her breath, calling it cowardly, before leading her men deeper into the mountains to search for mineral veins.
Li Yang leaned against a large rock, basking in the sun, occasionally squinting at the river and chuckling. The jade miners who had been catching fish in the stream had no idea that less than three meters below the riverbed, there were stones emitting a green glow. What else could they be but jade?
The reason he used his X-ray vision to look at the riverbed was because he remembered a little story about the Jinsha River. It is said that a thousand years ago, the entire riverbed of the Jinsha River was covered with gold, which shone brightly in the sunlight. You could find gold that would make you rich without mining it.
Later, after the riverbanks and riverbeds were all cleared out, people started panning for gold in the river or digging into the riverbed to pan for gold, and so on.
He glanced at it on a whim, initially just to see how many fish and shrimp were in the stream. Unexpectedly, he found patches of jade. Damn, there seemed to be quite a lot, covering the entire riverbed, the depths, and the banks on both sides, even reaching the large rock where he was sunbathing, and extending all the way out. However, the depth became quite deep after it extended outwards. The reason why the stream was so shallow was probably due to the erosion caused by mud and water.
With nothing to do all afternoon and having slept enough, Li Yang got up to practice martial arts. The air was fresh and the mountain air was clean, making the practice quite enjoyable.
Now his martial arts skills have reached the advanced level of Dark Force, which gradually spreads throughout his body, tempering his internal organs and making them clean and pure.
Moreover, his teeth began to grow. While an ordinary person only has thirty-two teeth, he grew thirty-third and thirty-fourth teeth, which was a sign that his physical body and blood energy were extremely powerful.
Splash...
A rustling sound came from the opposite side. Li Yang glanced over and, through the bend of the mountain ridge, the ridge became nothing but decoration. He immediately saw the scene beyond the ridge: a skinny old wolf with fur that glowed red was sneaking around and eating something.
Looking again, damn it, wasn't that the wild pheasant I roasted? That girl Yu Tihu ate half of it. Damn, I clearly saw her put the other half away, so how did it end up on the ground?
Damn, that old wolf got off easy. But since you don't appreciate my good intentions, I'd better not bother trying to win you over.
Don't blame me for not being chivalrous; it's just that you're being incredibly inconsiderate.
