C42 Zodiac Foetus
"What did I just say? Telling you is useless." Xin Cangqu smirked and without even looking at him, she waved the jade fan in her hands back and forth. Instantly, the soil around the bamboo shoot was peeled off, revealing the bamboo shoot roots.
As the Crown Prince of Kunwu, Emoeror of Kunwu's most treasured and doted upon son, he had been raised to live in luxury since childhood, and everything was the best. Furthermore, with someone to serve him every day, he only needed to say a word when he was hungry, and thousands of delicious delicacies would be placed in front of him to choose from, so he could eat whatever he wanted. How would he know where all the ingredients came from, and what he would look like before he entered the pot?
However, Kunwu Jiongnuo wasn't willing to be at a disadvantage. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I didn't expect Lord Cang's profound martial arts to be so useful!"
"Sigh!" Hearing him say so, Xin Cangqu let out a long sigh, "To think that the people of this world placed us in the same group. I really wonder where Prince Jiong actually managed to become such a great warrior." After putting away the jade fan, she shook her head helplessly and said, "So what if your martial arts is number one? I truly feel sorry for you! "
Kunwu Jiongnuo, who was unparalleled in the world, had been reduced to nothing by him. This Xin Cangqu was quite crazy.
Hearing that, Kunwu Jiongnuo did not get angry, but laughed, and did not feel awkward at all. He only shook his jade fan lightly and said: "Like Lord Cang said, this king has indeed never touched these things, but... Preparing ingredients and boiling water to cook is something a woman should do. Why would This King touch it? On the other hand, Lord Cang, why would you, the dignified direct disciple of Tianxin, do such a thing? Could it be that she's used to being protective of the fairer sex, and couldn't even bear to order around a maid? "
This time, it was Xin Cangqu's turn to be disgraced. She was stunned for a moment before she snorted and said in a neutral tone, "Prince Jiong, don't tease the book. Learn something and dig it up yourself. The only thing I will do is bring out Sister Su's portion."
The mischievous Fire Demon! Kunwu Jiongnuo already knew that Ye Zichen didn't have such good intentions, otherwise, he wouldn't have dragged Ye Zichen out with him. However, this was also good, he would have to check whether Ye Zichen would poison the food or not.
"How did Lord Cang know that there would be bamboo shoots here?" Kunwu Jiongnuo asked humbly.
"It's almost April and the bamboo shoots are growing. This forest is extremely dark, and there must be a lot of damp places, but bamboo shoots need sunlight to grow, so it's easy to find bamboo shoots in places that are both damp and sunny." Xin Cangqu explained to Kunwu Jiongnuo while digging out the bamboo shoots. Then she showed him the bamboo shoots, "It's that simple. Let's start."
"Thank you very much, Lord Cang." "Thank you," Kunwu Jiongnuo thanked him fakely, then turned around and walked to the other side.
"If you have mushrooms, you'd better pick some too." Xin Cangqu added.
Kunwu Jiongnuo didn't ask what was the purpose of collecting mushrooms. Of course, he wouldn't go and look for trouble by himself. If he asked again, he would definitely be mocked by Kunwu Jiongnuo again.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the two of them had almost finished digging. Xin Cangqu found some mushrooms and tied up the bamboo shoots with a corner of her clothes. Then, she walked towards Kunwu Jiongnuo.
Kunwu Jiongnuo only managed to dig out the bamboo shoot, but not the mushroom. Since Xin Cangqu didn't tell him where the mushroom would be, he gave up and decided to come here to find Xin Cangqu.
However, just as he walked a few steps, he inadvertently caught sight of a very large and beautiful mushroom. It looked very pleasing.
However, just as he was about to go and harvest it, he saw Xin Cangqu also walking over.
Without saying anything, Kunwu Jiongnuo's hands were quick, he immediately grabbed the big mushroom. Due to his excessively quick movements, a large half of the mushroom leg was still lying on the ground, "This King saw this first!"
When Xin Cangqu saw Kunwu Jiongnuo like this, she resisted the urge to sit on the ground and laugh out loud. However, her face turned red and she felt speechless. How did he survive these past 20 years? How come he wasn't poisoned to death? The more good-looking the mushroom was, the more toxic it would be. He didn't even know about this and thought that it was because he had picked up a treasure. He was afraid that it would be taken away by someone else!
Under normal circumstances, the elegant, unrestrained and unrestrained Young Master Cangqu would probably laugh her head off. However, this time, he had something else in mind, he would laugh it off after Evil Ghost was poisoned!
"Ayaya, this is simply the Mushroom King!" Xin Cangqu said with a look of envy, "I didn't expect Prince Jiong's luck to be so good!" Then she deliberately leaned closer and giggled, "Hehe …" I wonder if I could take a look at it? "
Kunwu Jiongnuo rolled his eyes, and guessed that he must be up to something bad again. If this mushroom was in his hands, he couldn't even be sure if he would exchange it with him, but this Fire Demon was so cunning, how could he take it back then? So naturally she couldn't let him see it, so she put it away immediately, "What kind of mushroom, Lord Cang, haven't you seen before? Let's go back quickly. Don't let Heroine Su wait too long. "
"Alright!" Xin Cangqu deliberately made a compromise with her tone as she muttered, "So petty."
He couldn't help but chuckle to himself in his heart. While it was true that he had seen this mushroom before, he wasn't so stupid as to treat it as a treasure and poison himself to death.
Kunwu Jiongnuo was too focused on walking forward that he didn't notice the weird smile on Xin Cangqu's face.
Finally, the two of them returned to the bamboo building.
Su Jiu looked at the mushrooms and bamboo shoots in their hands and immediately understood what Xin Cangqu meant by food. Surprised and delighted, she asked, "Lord Cang actually dug out bamboo shoots?"
"I wonder if Sister Su can make bamboo shoot mushroom soup?" Xin Cangqu asked with a smile.
"Yes." Su Jiu nodded with a smile.
"Very good." Xin Cangqu passed the bamboo shoots and mushrooms to Su Jiu, then looked at Kunwu Jiongnuo, "Do you want to keep Prince Jiong with us?"
"This King is used to eating alone. May I trouble Heroine Su to trouble you once more?" Kunwu Jiongnuo thought Xin Cangqu was still thinking about his big mushroom.
Not to mention a mushroom, even if there was no food here, he would not be so stingy. However, towards Xin Cangqu, who was his sworn enemy, he would naturally not be able to share any of it with him.
Xin Cangqu also grabbed on to this point, adding fuel to the fire. This way, if he really died from the poison, it would be his fault. He had to eat alone, and nobody could blame Xin Cangqu for that.
