Ch64 - Ji Furong of Array City

Three months later.

Three days before the opening of the secret realm, the small village where Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu lived had already been filled with young talents from the Lingwu Continent. Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu, while waiting for the opening of the secret realm, were kicked out a dozen times, and finally, they can only live in the worst house.

Sitting by the lake, the husband and wife were preparing lunch. Liu Mufeng was cooking fish soup, and Jiang Xu was sitting beside him to help make the fire.

“Uncle, Aunty, are you cooking?” Zhou Wu asked with a smile when he came over.

They saw Zhou Wen, Zhou Wu and Xue Hao, who came to eat on time. Liu Mufeng smiled at the three of them. However, he was feeling depressed. ‘He didn’t know whatthese three young masters were thinking. They’re addicted to his meals. They come to eat every three or five times. Although they gave spirit stones every time they came, the problem was that the food he cooked was for his wife. He was not the chef of these three people. Why should he give it to these three to eat?’

“Three young masters, you went hunting?” Jiang Xu asked, looking at the three-star rabbit in the Spiritual Realm in Zhou Wu’s hand.

“Yeah, we hunted a rabbit nearby. Aunty, let Uncle make us diced spicy rabbit meat.” Looking at Jiang Xu, Zhou Wu licked his lips.

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng was speechless for a while and said in his heart,‘Are they still asking for some dishes? Really taking him as a cook!’

“Okay.” Nodding, Jiang Xu agreed.

“Then I’ll go over to the lake and peel the rabbit’s skin.” Zhou Wu smiled and left.

Zhou Wen and Xue Hao nodded and sat beside the two of them. Zhou Wen took out a bunch of chopsticks and bowls from his storage ring and put them aside as he waited for his younger brother to clean the rabbit and let Liu Mufeng cook for them.

“Aunty, you are so lucky. Uncle’s cooking skills are so good. You are fortunate.” Looking at Jiang Xu, Zhou Wen said with a smile.

“Oh, my old man doesn’t have any other skills. He just knows how to cook.” Speaking of this, Jiang Xu smiled. ‘Mufeng’s cooking skills are exceptional. When they had a meal with Brother Zhantian and Meng Shishi before, those two ate two-thirds of their barbecue.Right now, no, a few days ago, Mufeng made a barbecue for himself. As a result, three greedy wolves were attracted, and they came to finish all the rice without shame, and they couldn’t get rid of them.’

“Aunty is a lucky person.” Seeing the loving and happy appearance of the old couple, Xue Hao felt that although they were both ordinary people with no children, and even the Uncle was dumb and mute, they still lived happily until their old age.

“Young Master Xue is a good person. In the future, he will also find a beautiful female cultivator to be his Dao companion.” Looking at Xue Hao, Jiang Xu said with a smile.

“Aiyah, that’s not good. Having more sons and more grandchildren is more fortunate. Marriage is more important than cultivation.”

“Hmmn, this smells really good. Uncle, tell me honestly, you tricked Aunty into marrying you with your good cooking skills, right?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Zhou Wu asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng smiled awkwardly and thought to himself, ‘He was able to catch Xiao Xu. His cooking skills really helped a lot.’

“Ei, Aunty is blushing!” Looking at the embarrassed Jiang Xu, Zhou Wen laughed and teased.

“Hey, can you two just have a good meal and stop joking around.” Xue Hao was very displeased when he saw the two making a fuss.

“Aiyah, cousin, you’re only twenty-two, don’t act like an old man all the time, okay?”

“Yes, cousin, you are too boring. How can female cultivators like you?”

Xue Hao rolled his eyes and said, “I’m not as boring as you are.”

“Young Master Xue, the girl who likes you is coming over here.” Looking at Xue Hao, Jiang Xu looked behind him and pursed his lips.

Hearing this, Xue Hao turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Ji Furong, who had been haunting him like a ghost.

“Cousin, it’s Ji Furong! She’s here again! She does really like you,eih? She comes to see you every day!” Zhou Wu said excitedly.

“It must be because my Cousin Hao’er is charming and refined, like a jade tree standing firm in the wind and attracting everyone who loves the scent of flowers blooming. She must be fascinated with my Cousin.” Nodding, Zhou Wen said the same.

Xue Hao couldn’t help but glare at the two of them. “You two, stop talking nonsense. Her gazes are different from what you think.” Ji Furong did come to see him every day, but the way she looked at him was like she would love to tear him apart. Full of insane jealousy. Not normal at all. These two idiots thought the other party liked him. He really didn’t know what kind of brains these two had.

Xue Hao also noticed this himself. Ji Furong simply did not hide it and walked in front of Xue Hao. Staring at Xue Hao with jealous eyes, wishing to see hundreds or thousands of holes in Xue Hao’s body.

“Hehe, Miss Ji, would you like to sit down and have lunch with us?” Getting up, Zhou Wen sent a warm invitation. However, Ji Furong didn’t even spare him a glance but kept her eyes glued at Xue Hao.

“Miss Ji!” Being stared at by her fiery eyes, Xue Hao really couldn’t ignore the other party anymore, so he could only get up and greet her.

“Xue Hao, why do you have such a good life? Why do you have such a good life!” Ji Furong said, full of hatred and jealousy.

She and Xue Hao were the same age, and in the past, both had three spiritual roots and five-star strength in the Spiritual Realm. But now? Xue Hao has a single spiritual root and is already a six-star in the Spiritual Mortal Realm. However, she still has three spiritual roots and was still in the five-star Spiritual Realm. How could the arrogant Ji Furong accept such a big gap? Moreover, after several months of searching, she couldn’t find even a shadow of Liu Mufeng, which made her very annoyed and desperate. Every time she saw Xue Hao, she thought, ‘Why is it Xue Hao and not her? Liu Mufeng could obviously come to Array City to exchange the array discs with her. How good would it be if her spiritual roots had been washed? How wonderful it would be!’

“Eighth sister!” Ji Haitang called softly after chasing after her.

Seeing that it was her sister, Ji Furong bit her lip and said nothing.

Xue Hao looked at Ji Haitang, the Sixth Young Miss of the Ji family, who was chasing after her. He bowed his head and saluted profoundly. “Sixth Miss.”

“Xue Hao, I’m sorry. My sister likes to run out recently, causing you trouble.” Ji Haitang bowed her head and apologized before taking Ji Furong away.

“Cousin, why do I think this girl from the Ji family is a little crazy?” Thinking of Ji Furong giving a fiery look at his cousin, Zhou Wen could not help shrinking his shoulders, feeling a little panicked.

“Yeah, I don’t think she’s very normal. Cousin, you should stay away from her.” Zhou Wu said the same.

“She’s jealous of me, and the jealous ones are always crazy. I’m really worried that this girl will come to trouble us when we get to the secret realm.” Having said this, Xue Hao sighed helplessly.

“Oh, you should not have told her that you washed your spiritual roots. Couldn’t you just hide this matter and tuck it away? Why did you tell that crazy girl and let everyone know about it?” Looking at his cousin, Zhou Wen complained.

“Yeah, it’s not good for everyone to know this good thing. Cousin, you are too high-profile.” Nodding, Zhou Wu said the same.

Xue Hao was even more depressed when he heard these complaints. “Do you think I ran out and announced it myself? Do you think I’m that stupid?”

“Then, what happened?” Looking at his Cousin’s frantic expression, Zhou Wen looked puzzled. ‘Didn’t his cousin say it himself?’

“It’s the Huang family. Those bastards arranged some spies in the City Lord’s mansion. They were jealous of me when they found out that I had successfully washed my spiritual roots. They released the news. Now, everyone treats me as a monster. When others see me, their eyes are weird.” Xue Hao was very depressed as he spoke of this.

“The Huang family? Aren’t they your mother’s family? How can they do such a thing?”

“Hmph! Both my two uncles and six cousins are all good for nothing. If my father hadn’t cared about my mother, he would have been rude and kicked them out already!” Speaking of his mother’s family, Xue Hao had a headache.

“Oh, so it was your Uncle. Uncle Xue had been taking care of the Huang family, but they still bullied you!”

“Yeah, the Huang family is in Rune City, relying on the identities of Uncle Xue and Cousin Hao’erto make a fortune, and now they did this kind of thing. Uncle Xue can’t just turn a blind eye anymore.”

“My father has already taken action, but it was too late already. The matter has already spread. Now the major forces in Lingwu Continent are looking for Liu Mufeng. However, they couldn’t find Liu Mufeng, so they could only run to find me. They come and check the condition of my spiritual roots. They’re using me as an ornament. It’s really terrible!” Xue Hao was very depressed.

“Cousin, don’t be angry. When we get to the secret realm, we will help you clean up those people in the Huang family. We must not make them look good.”

“Yes. Those bastards just can’t get used to this kind of backstabbing thing. Uncle Xue is so lenient to them that they became too proud to be able to find the south, east, north and west!”

“Let’s not talk about it anymore. There are many dangers in the secret realm. There are only three of us, and there are six people in the Huang family. If we encounter them, it will be troublesome.” Having said this, Xue Hao sighed.

“That’s also true. There are more of them than us.” Thinking of this, the Zhou brothers were also very depressed.

Hearing the conversation between the three, Liu Mufeng unconsciously clenched the chopsticks in his hand. He was still thinking about how the matter became so big and well known. There was such an inside story. These Huang family were indeed abominable!
