Chapter 208: Chapter 207: The Scent of Plum Blossoms Penetrates the Bones Chapter 208: Chapter 207: The Scent of Plum Blossoms Penetrates the Bones Sally didn’t want Xiaoi to disappear, so even though she knew she hadn’t actually made a sacred vow, she was still willing to fulfill the agreent.
After eating her fill, Sally went to sleep. She had originally planned to leave the island with Zhu Sanlang to explore the Yunshan Continent, but now trouble had co knocking, and her plans were ruined.
Zhu Sanlang was the master of the island and knew everything that happened on it like the back of his hand.
It wasn’t until after Sally had rested that he activated Yunng Island’s Slaughter Array.
Yunng Island was enveloped in a thick fog.
Anyone who ca into contact with the mist would be directly drawn into the Slaughter Array. Greed, anger, delusion, hatred, love, evil desires… As long as there was a trace of darkness in one’s heart, one would be seized by the array and tornted until death.
The mbers of the Tiann Sect first encountered an Illusion Array.
The Qingyi Daoist, Xie Zijin, had a pair of True Eyes that could see through illusions. After breaking the array, he imdiately sensed that sothing was wrong and quickly left with his sect mbers and those from the Baichuan Sect on their flying swords.
Just as they rose into the air, they saw the entire Yunng Island rapidly shrouded in fog.
“This is a Slaughter Array!” Xie Zijin stated gravely.
However, Shen Huan from the Plum Academy remained nonchalant. The idea of the island’s innate treasures was simply too tempting, “We should have collected the Spiritual Materials as soon as we landed.”
Xiaoi Gong Hongjiao replied, “I’ve already gathered quite a bit of Ice Heart Grass. But it’s such a pity for those nurous Spiritual Materials. Brother Zijin, can’t you break through this Slaughter Array?”
“I can’t see through it, let alone break it. We need to return to our sect and report the situation on this island to our master, and let him decide. Shen Huan, you stay here and find a place to watch and wait for a ssage. Xiaoi, co with . And you two from the Baichuan Sect?”
“Naturally, we will also return to our sect and inform the Elders’ Council about this treasure land.”
“Good, then let’s split up and keep in touch through ssaging.” replied Zijin.
And with that, the group scattered in different directions.
As for the pirates, once they entered the mist, they could never return.
…
When Sally woke up, she found that the sky had already darkened.
The System Map showed that, besides the platform and these few rooms, nearly everywhere else was covered by a dense white fog.
Zhu Sanlang was in the kitchen, making exquisite crystal pork buns.
Looking at the translucent bun skins and the succulent, oily pork filling, Sally’s stomach instantly growled with hunger.
[Xiaoi, Sanlang is not only a good master but also a great chef. With just a simple recipe, he managed to create a dish that looks exactly like the picture.]
[Reminder to the host: Although the dishes are exquisite, they may not be very nutritious. It is better to eat more fresh food.]
[Got it.]
Seeing Sally co in, Zhu Sanlang hurriedly served the food on the table, “I wasn’t sure what you’d like, so I made a few different dishes.”
They all look fantastic,” Sally said, picking up her chopsticks and first grabbing a crystal pork bun to eat.
With one bite, it was even more delicious than she had imagined, and she nearly bit her tongue.
“This is so good, co sit down and eat with .”
“I’ll get you a bowl of fresh flower porridge. I used Rouge Snow Plum for the flowers, which bloom only once every hundred years. It has a subtle fragrance, not too strong, but refreshing and long-lasting, with a remarkable effect of fragrance penetrating to the bone.”
“What does fragrance penetrating to the bone an?” asked Sally.
Zhu Sanlang placed a big bowl of fresh flower porridge in front of Sally.
Atop the white porridge, crimson plum petals were sprinkled, releasing a fragrance that wafted seductively and triggered one’s appetite.
Zhu Sanlang replied, “It ans the scent of the plum is bone-deep, sothing the Fox Demon Clan is very fond of.”
“Oh? Why does the Fox Clan like it?” Sally asked, taking a spoonful of the porridge. It was filled with the scent of sticky rice and the fragrance of plums.
“So Fox Demons are naturally odorous. Although they can temporarily hide it with magic, it’s not a permanent solution. Rouge Snow Plum can help these Fox Demons eliminate body odor.”
“Do I have a body odor?” Sally asked Zhu Sanlang with an ambiguous smile.
Zhu Sanlang suddenly blushed and answered, “Yes…””
The smile on Sally’s face paused slightly, “Oh? What kind of sll?”
“It’s a sweet scent with a hint of warmth, a bit like ripe fruit or blossoming flowers. It’s very pleasant, and never seems to be enough.”
Zhu Sanlang spoke with his ears turning red and hurriedly added, “There’s one more dish, I’ll go get it.”
And with that, he quickly got up and left.
Watching his embarrassed figure, Sally took a few more sips of the porridge, “Well, as long as it’s not a stink.”
“No, definitely not,” Zhu Sanlang imdiately denied.
“Good, otherwise it would have been tough on you while cooking,” Sally said.
“… I, I quite like it,” Zhu Sanlang didn’t have Sally’s openness, and unlike drinking tea or dining, he couldn’t comfortably reveal the secrets of the bedroom.
Sally nodded, “As long as you like it. Joyful intimacy is very beneficial for physical and ntal health; there’s no need to be coy about it.”
‘Boom—’ a thunderous blast resounded from the sky.
“Soone has intruded on the island.” Zhu Sanlang, after placing another dish on the table, said, “I’ll go have a look. You continue eating.”
“If you need help, just call out.”
Zhu Sanlang smiled, “I am after all the master of this island.”
“True, this is your territory,” Sally comnted, picking up another crystal pork bun and biting into it, “Go ahead.”
Zhu Sanlang disappeared into the fog.
[Can we see who’s invading the island?] Sally asked Xiaoi.
Xiaoi provided her with a video feed imdiately, [Zhu Sanlang might have t his match this ti. The newcor is a Saint Rank high cultivator.]
