Chapter 78: Chapter 80: Seducing Xiao Ye
The last time Su Luoluo was here, she had noticed a faint blue flame that would occasionally flicker from a small mound of earth next to the Salt Well.
But her Beast Skin Skirt had come loose that day, and she was too busy dealing with the embarrassment to pay it any mind.
Now that she had time, she naturally had to check it out.
She carried a ceramic pot over to the small mound and touched it. She felt a burst of heat shoot out, but it wasn’t very strong.
Su Luoluo guessed it was because the wind inside the cave was too strong, dispersing the gas and preventing the flame from gathering.
After a moment of thought, she walked out of the Salt Well Cave.
She remembered seeing bamboo nearby while riding on Fu Feng’s back.
After finding the bamboo, Su Luoluo used her Wood Element Ability, extending vines from her hand to chop down a smaller stalk. Then, using her superpower, she sliced it open, took a short section, and brought it back into the cave.
When she aimed the hollow bamboo tube at the source of the gas, a blue flame instantly shot out.
’I was right. The natural gas emerging from the ground needed to be shielded from the wind to concentrate.’
Seeing the blue flame, she placed the ceramic pot on top of it.
’A fire from natural gas is way faster than a wood fire, isn’t it?’
After placing one pot on a bamboo tube, Su Luoluo repeated the process, cutting several more bamboo sections and placing the other pots on them as well.
As the flames heated the pots, the aroma of salt-baked chicken filled the cave.
The Beastmen couldn’t help but follow the scent with their eyes.
They hadn’t even seen what Su Luoluo was doing before they discovered she had somehow conjured a cluster of blue flames out of thin air.
There wasn’t a single branch burning underneath.
Everyone’s jaws dropped at the sight.
One of the Wolf Clan People asked in astonishment, "Luoluo, this fire... where did it come from?"
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would have never believed that Su Luoluo could just create a fire like that.
Even Fu Feng, Xiao Ye, Mo Xuan, and Luan Ting—the four who were used to Su Luoluo producing strange things from time to time—were utterly amazed by the scene before them.
They were certain Su Luoluo hadn’t used a Fire Ability, as they hadn’t sensed it at all.
Nantu was also incredibly surprised to see Su Luoluo’s fire.
Su Luoluo looked at the group and said with a smile, "The fire comes from in here. I’m just making a little use of it."
Her words were casual, but they stirred a storm in the hearts of the five Beastmen.
’Easy for her to say she was "just making a little use of it," but how did she know fire would come from there?’
’From the way she handled those bamboo tubes, it was clear she did it precisely because she knew there would be fire.’
Nantu suddenly felt that Su Luoluo was even more knowledgeable and intelligent than he had imagined.
He found he couldn’t help but steal a few more glances at her.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Nantu’s Heartbeat Value has increased. Current value: 50.]
’He really is a sapiosexual. I just showed off a little, and his Heartbeat Value shot right up.’
Before Su Luoluo could even feel happy about it, the system pinged again.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host! Nantu’s attraction value has risen to 30. Fu Feng, Xiao Ye, Luan Ting, and Mo Xuan’s attraction values have risen to 90! You are about to break through the Filter Brain! Keep it up, Host!]
’So fast! I remember that last time, the other four’s Heartbeat Values were already close to 99, excluding Nantu. I didn’t expect their attraction values to rise so quickly this time.’
’Looks like I’m almost there. I’ll be able to upgrade my superpower again soon.’
’But for now, I need to focus on making a good meal.’
Besides the salt-baked chicken, Su Luoluo also picked some fresh ferns and wild vegetables and stir-fried them.
The Wolf Clan People, who had never had salt-baked chicken or duck before, were completely captivated by the aroma of the salt-baked dishes.
It had a completely different flavor compared to beggar’s chicken.
Su Luoluo was a truly amazing cook.
Luan Ting and Nantu, who were trying it for the first time, ate with sparkling eyes, too busy enjoying the food to say anything.
Although it wasn’t the first time for Mo Xuan, Fu Feng, and Xiao Ye, they hadn’t eaten it in a long while and still savored every bite with great relish.
After the meal and a short rest, the Beastmen went back to processing salt.
Su Luoluo worked alongside them for a while, but then her stomach started to hurt. She felt the undeniable urge to go.
She hurried out. She had woken up early this morning and left without having a chance to relieve herself.
There were plenty of trees and patches of grass near the Salt Well Cave. Su Luoluo tore a handful of large, round leaves from a tree, found a spot with tall grass, and squatted down.
’It’s not like I want to be this crude, but there’s no other choice given the conditions.’
’At least there are leaves here. If it were like the Red Land, with nothing but shrubs, I wouldn’t even have anything to wipe with. That would be even tougher.’
While straining and grunting, Su Luoluo thought, ’Maybe I should figure out how to make some paper. That way, my butt won’t have to suffer whenever I need to go.’
She was just pondering what raw materials she could use for paper.
Suddenly, a RUSTLING sound came from the grass nearby. Hearing it, Su Luoluo’s butthole clenched tight.
’No way!’
’Someone can’t be coming over at a time like this!’
’I really don’t want to be walked in on, and I definitely don’t want a bathroom buddy.’
Fortunately, the person stopped a short distance away from her.
Su Luoluo covered her nose and mouth, not daring to make a sound for fear of alerting the newcomer.
The good news was that the person didn’t squat down. He just stood there, lifted his Beast Skin Skirt, and then a trickling sound reached Su Luoluo’s ears.
’That’s so loud. How long has he been holding it in?’
Before Su Luoluo could finish her thought, she caught a glimpse of a pair of purple pupils.
’Is... is that Xiao Ye?’
’I’ve heard that snakes have two...’
Su Luoluo initially wanted to cover her eyes and not look, but her curiosity made her want to...
However, before she could act on that thought, Xiao Ye turned and left.
’Alright, I guess I was overthinking it.’
After she was more or less done grunting, she took out the leaves and started wiping.
Just as she finished wiping and was about to stand up, her leg went numb, and her body tilted backward.
Before she could even react, she realized she was falling off a cliff.
’Seriously? The grass hid it that well!’
’I didn’t even realize there was a cliff behind me.’
With a sharp "AHHH!" Su Luoluo tumbled right off the cliff.
Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Ye quickly moved forward, but he was a step too late. Su Luoluo had already fallen.
Seeing this, he jumped down after her.
Su Luoluo landed in Xiao Ye’s arms.
Her body was completely unharmed, but she suddenly felt incredibly awkward.
’Now that he’s come down here, doesn’t he know I was spying on him?!’
’I had the urge, but it was over before I could act on it. I wonder if he’ll believe me if I tell him that.’
Before she could speak, Xiao Ye frowned and scanned their surroundings. "There’s a thick fog all around this place. I’m afraid we won’t be able to get back up today."
Su Luoluo froze, the words she was about to say instantly forgotten. "Then what do we do?" she asked, shocked.
Xiao Ye glanced at Su Luoluo. "What else can we do? We’ll have to make do and stay here for the night. We’ll look for a way out tomorrow."
Su Luoluo thought about it. ’I guess that’s the only option.’
’At least there are trees and water here.’
For dinner, Xiao Ye caught a few fish in the river.
Su Luoluo started a fire and charcoal-grilled them, and the two of them made do with the simple meal.
After they finished eating, Xiao Ye looked around and said to Su Luoluo, "I’m going to scout the area before it gets dark. Don’t wander off."
Su Luoluo nodded obediently.
After Xiao Ye left, Su Luoluo decided to go bathe in the river up ahead.
’After going number two, I just feel so unclean.’
As she was washing, the system’s voice suddenly sounded:
"Host, the system has detected a change in Xiao Ye’s Heartbeat Value. You can take this opportunity to make a move on him."
"Huh? What kind of move?"
"To increase his affection?"
"The system suggests seduction."
Su Luoluo was shocked by the suggestion. "!"
Seduction!
’What is this system talking about?’
