169: Section 169

Xiao Fan jumped out of bed, his eyes like a big bad wolf looking at a little white rabbit.

"Xueqi Baby, let me help you blow-dry your hair."

"Thank you, Brother Fan~"

Seeing Xiao Fan being so considerate, Chen Xueqi was filled with joy, completely oblivious to Xiao Fan's gaze.

Then Xiao Fan stood up, pulled Chen Xueqi to sit in front of the dressing table, plugged it in, and turned on the hairdryer.

Xiao Fan tiptoed slightly, lowered his head, and looked down following his line of sight.

Xiao Fan only felt a warm current about to flow out of his nose, and took a deep breath, which finally eased it.

Although the two of them already knew each other thoroughly, sometimes the subtle hints were even more tempting.

Just like that, Xiao Fan, in a state of both pain and pleasure, dried Chen Xueqi's hair, and after putting down the hairdryer, Xiao Fan walked into the bathroom without looking back and began to wash up... The next day, just as the sky was faintly bright, Su Yuan boarded a plane early and left the provincial city, arriving at Linjiang City, hundreds of kilometers away from the provincial city.

After getting off the plane, Su Yuan took a taxi and arrived at Huyue Mountain, a famous scenic spot in Linjiang City.

Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a tiger demon, whose body was like a small mountain, and it leaped up directly across a mountain range that was three to four thousand meters high and stretched for more than ten kilometers.

Therefore, later generations named this mountain range Huyue Mountain.

Looking at the familiar yet strange place, Su Yuan took a deep breath, then no longer hesitated and stepped onto the stairs leading to the top of the mountain.

Chapter 158: Su Yuan's Blackening

"Ding, Child of Destiny Su Yuan has blackened. Upon killing him, you will receive a heavenly dao treasure chest x1 and a diamond treasure chest x2."

In a daze, Xiao Fan was woken up by the system's mechanical prompt.

"Are you kidding me, System? Can't you have some public morality, disturbing my sweet dreams so early in the morning."

Xiao Fan criticized the system with some dissatisfaction in his heart, "If you keep doing this, it's easy for me to not rest well. If I don't rest well, I won't be able to deal with the Child of Destiny. If I can't deal with the Child of Destiny, I might be finished. What will you do if I'm finished?"

"Tell me, what can you do without me? What will you even be?"

System: ... "I'm sorry, Host, I'll remember next time."

The system, which had not experienced the harsh realities of society, almost made its CPU smoke with Xiao Fan's words. Although it felt like something was not quite right, it also felt very reasonable.

Hearing the system apologize, Xiao Fan slowly got dressed and out of bed.

"Oh my, let me see who's so diligent."

Xiao Fan walked over and hugged Mu Yinyin, who was making breakfast, from behind.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you trembling? Are you feeling unwell? Or should I make breakfast instead?"

Feeling Mu Yinyin trembling slightly in his arms, Xiao Fan asked with concern.

Mu Yinyin in his arms suddenly struggled, and Xiao Fan, somewhat puzzled, let go, only to realize that the woman in his arms was not Mu Yinyin, but Zhao Jing!

"Uh... do you believe me if I say I didn't do it on purpose?"

Looking at Zhao Jing, who was blushing and had her head down, Xiao Fan felt a bit embarrassed, after all, he was the one who hugged her first.

However, he couldn't be blamed for this. Today, Zhao Jing wasn't wearing a maid outfit, and she had the same hairstyle as Mu Yinyin.

Plus, he had just woken up not long ago, so he wouldn't notice these details.

"But it still smells good."

When he hugged her, Xiao Fan's hands were naturally not idle, otherwise Zhao Jing wouldn't be blushing. To be fair, the junior sister was even more well-endowed than the senior sister.

Just as the atmosphere between the two was awkward, Mu Yinyin walked out of the bedroom.

"Hehe, Sister Zhao Jing, is your breakfast ready? I'm quite looking forward to your breakfast."

"You two..."

Mu Yinyin covered her small mouth, her eyes full of surprise. When did Xiao Fan quietly win over her junior sister? Otherwise, why would the two of them... one with her head down and a red face, and the other so close? Her intuition told Mu Yinyin that there was definitely something fishy going on between them!

"Yinyin, come and try the breakfast Zhao Jing made. I just tasted a bit, and it tastes pretty good."

Xiao Fan didn't explain. This kind of thing was impossible to explain clearly, and it might only make things worse, so he decisively chose to change the subject.

"Really!!! Then I'll try it!"

Mu Yinyin believed him, and she hadn't eaten Zhao Jing's breakfast before. At this moment, her small face was filled with joy. She picked up a set of chopsticks and a bowl, and put a fried egg into the bowl.

"This fried egg, why does it look a bit dark?"

Mu Yinyin picked up the fried egg in front of her, somewhat puzzled. Shouldn't a fried egg be yellowish-white?

Zhao Jing looked at Mu Yinyin, her confidence a bit lacking, "Maybe... maybe this fried egg has its own ideas."

As soon as she said this, Xiao Fan almost burst out laughing. Who would believe such a thing???

"Oh, oh, so that's how it is. Then this fried egg must be a bad egg!"

Mu Yinyin nodded in agreement, then picked up the fried egg and took a bite.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey..."

After chewing a bite, Mu Yinyin spat out the food, and her face instantly turned into a bitter gourd.

"Liar, you just said it was delicious!"

Mu Yinyin looked angrily at Xiao Fan, who was beside her. Indeed, all men are big pig trotters!

"What? Did I just say that?"

Xiao Fan immediately played dumb, then slapped his head, "Oh no, I forgot to wash up. I'll go wash up first."

Before Mu Yinyin could speak, Xiao Fan ran into the bedroom in three strides, closing the door as quickly as possible.

Mu Yinyin: ... "Sister Zhao Jing, I think we should let Xiao Fan, that bad guy, cook from now on..."

Mu Yinyin tentatively said. If her taste buds weren't mistaken, Zhao Jing must have fried the egg with soy sauce, and she didn't put salt, but sugar.

"Sigh, I just don't have a talent for cooking. But I just wanted to make a delicious meal for everyone. Never mind, if you all don't like it, then I won't cook anymore."

Zhao Jing lowered her head, her mood low. She clearly tried hard to learn, but every time she cooked, she was always flustered, making mistakes here or there.

"Don't say that, Sister Zhao Jing. You're just not very skilled yet. I believe you'll definitely succeed in the future."

"Really?"

Zhao Jing looked up, meeting Mu Yinyin's gaze.

"Really, we're like sisters, don't you believe me?"

Mu Yinyin nodded with absolute certainty.

"Then from now on, when I cook, will you help me taste it, okay? Just tell me where I need to improve."

As soon as she said this, Mu Yinyin instantly froze.

Mu Yinyin never expected that she was kindly comforting Zhao Jing, but Zhao Jing wanted her life. Was this food even for humans!?

"Oh my, oh my, I suddenly remembered that I haven't washed up either. I'm going to wash up now."

Mu Yinyin let go of Zhao Jing's hand and ran into the bedroom as if fleeing.

"Yinyin..."

Zhao Jing looked at Mu Yinyin's retreating back, her mood incomparably lost.

She had trained in martial arts since childhood, and everything had gone smoothly for her. She was even hailed as the Zhao family's greatest genius in hundreds of years. She never expected to be stumped by a seemingly simple meal.

However, Zhao Jing didn't blame Mu Yinyin in her heart. She had a rough idea of her own cooking skills.

"I refuse to believe I can't learn to cook! Zhao Jing, you can do it, you're the best!"

Zhao Jing waved her fists a few times, cheering herself on.

She was still making progress. At least she didn't almost burn down the kitchen like the first time she cooked.

Xiao Fan, who had just finished washing up, heard this and felt his head ache. He estimated that the kitchen would be thoroughly messed up by Zhao Jing in the future.

However, Xiao Fan didn't stop her. Firstly, because the recent events were a bit awkward, and secondly, because he couldn't cook all the time anyway. It might as well be better to train Zhao Jing well... "It should be around here."

Halfway up the mountain, Su Yuan carefully surveyed the surrounding environment.

Although a long time had passed, he still vaguely remembered the place.

After looking around and finding no one, Su Yuan leaped up and entered the mountain forest.

"As expected, the mark is still there."

Looking at the knife-shaped mark carved on the palm tree trunk, Su Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the mark was still there, he could use it to find that item.
