Chapter 6: Not Good at Cooking

The two of them hugged for a long time.Normally speaking, given the current situation, there shouldn't be any abnormal reaction. But Zhang Xiaofan indeed felt that his "flashlight" was misbehaving while he was hugging her, and it seemed to be just pressing against Li Xiu'e's lower abdomen.

This feeling was simply driving him crazy. Li Xiu'e was in a state of sadness and didn't seem to notice it. But Zhang Xiaofan quickly let go. If Wang Ergou beside them noticed his abnormality, he would be extremely embarrassed.

Moreover, Li Xiu'e was now his sister-in-law. It wasn't appropriate for the two of them to be hugging tightly in broad daylight. If others saw it, they would gossip, especially since this aunt was also a widow.

They had been childhood sweethearts, but now the situation had changed. She had become someone else's wife and was his sister-in-law.

Li Xiu'e usually had no one to talk to. Now that she had poured out her grievances, she cried her heart out and it took a long time for her to stop. She picked up the clothes and put them in the basin, and was invited by Zhang Xiaofan to go home for breakfast.

Li Xiu'e's house was next to Zhang Xiaofan's, which was very convenient. Wang Ergou was also invited to have breakfast.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaofan also understood what had happened.

Li Xiu'e and her husband Zhang Liang went out to work. Because Li Xiu'e was pretty and beautiful, she was pursued by the factory employees, but she refused them.

Being too beautiful was also a kind of fault for a woman. Otherwise, why would people say that a beautiful woman brings disaster?

Even some bad guys in society took a fancy to her beauty. They tried hard to win her over but failed. Out of anger, they even tried to force Li Xiu'e to work in a footbath parlor and sell her soul.

Her husband Zhang Liang found out and went to save her, but he was beaten to death by those people.

Surely, the matter wasn't that simple and involved many complicated things.

"Sister-in-law Xiu'e, you don't have to be too sad. The past is in the past. If there's a chance, I'll avenge my cousin."

On the way home, Zhang Xiaofan comforted her. Wang Ergou, feeling a bit embarrassed, also followed behind, wanting to have a free meal.

"Xiaofan, it's good that you're back. Let's not think about revenge. Those people are very bad and extremely fierce. We can't afford to mess with them."

When talking about those people, Li Xiu'e seemed a bit scared, and her face turned pale. Obviously, she had a psychological shadow of those people.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Zhang Xiaofan casually replied. Those were just ordinary people. It would be fine if he didn't encounter them. No matter how powerful they were, once he met them, he could take their heads with a flying sword. Their lives were as worthless as grass, and it was just a matter of a wave of his hand.

In fact, it was quite sad to say. Jiulong Village was too remote. Just walking out of the Jiulong Mountains would take from morning until afternoon. It was obviously impossible to study.

So, few people in Jiulong Village could read and write. Going out to work, they were like uneducated people, not knowing anything. They couldn't even recognize a large amount of money. In the eyes of outsiders, they were very easy to bully.

The saying "Wretched mountains and untamed rivers breed tough people" was right. Being illiterate and doing things on a whim, it was no wonder they would be killed or bullied by others.

After returning home, Li Xiulan said she would go home to change clothes and then come over. Wang Ergou followed behind, chatting and laughing as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

When he saw the figure of the beautiful village head, he was really amazed. She was like a real fairy, making Wang Ergou stare blankly. He said enviously:

"Brother, our female village head lives with you. She's so fair and tender, and so beautiful. She's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life. You're so handsome, so you should work hard to win our female village head's heart. Then you'll be successful."

Zhang Xiaofan smiled and didn't give a definite answer. He casually replied:

"This woman isn't that simple. It's harder than ascending to the sky to win her over. Let everything be left to fate."

Indeed! As Shu Wan'er said, her family background was as huge as a mountain. Once something happened, they could be wiped out without a trace.

Although he said it indifferently, when Zhang Xiaofan looked at Shu Wan'er's mature figure, to be honest, he was also a bit tempted. The corners of his mouth curved into a smile, and he secretly thought:

"Hehe! Woman, you're so beautiful. Since the meat is already in my mouth, how can I not eat it? Your family gave you two years, right? After two years, I'll give your family a big gift and present them with a chubby baby boy."

Zhang Xiaofan smirked to himself but didn't say it out loud. Now, his cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and he was exactly at the time when he needed a woman.

Although Zhang Xiaofan was taken away by the old Taoist priest when he was young and learned some Taoist arts, his main focus wasn't on Taoist methods.

The old Taoist priest somehow obtained a book called "The Art of the Demon God". No one in the world could cultivate it, except Zhang Xiaofan.

After Zhang Xiaofan cultivated the Art of the Demon God, he realized that it wasn't an internal energy cultivation method but a cultivation method passed down by an ancient god in the Primordial Era. By cultivating it, one could transform into a demon.

This was real cultivation of a god. The so-called cultivation of truth or immortality in legends, even the old Taoist priest didn't know the mysteries of it.

Cultivating the Art of the Demon God, he had now reached a bottleneck and needed to find an opportunity to break through.

In ancient times, cultivators of truth would usually have some maids or female cauldrons.

Zhang Xiaofan was the same. He was in urgent need of several female cauldrons or his own demon slaves.

In fact, he could go to the dark trading market in the martial arts world to buy them, but the old Taoist priest had spent his whole life seeking the Tao and traveling everywhere. After his death, he left nothing behind. Zhang Xiaofan had no money.

However, when Zhang Xiaofan saw the female village head for the first time, he thought Shu Wan'er was a good candidate to be his female cauldron. It was just a matter of time.

"Sister Village Head, is the meal ready? I'm really hungry."

Entering the courtyard, Zhang Xiaofan said. When Zhang Xiaofan left in the morning, Shu Wan'er didn't know why. Maybe she was too lonely by herself, but she actually felt a bit empty. When she saw Zhang Xiaofan come back, she felt an inexplicable excitement in her heart.

"It's ready. Both of you come in."

"Greetings, Village Head. You're so beautiful." Wang Ergou also greeted her. Obviously, Shu Wan'er ignored him. This woman was a bit arrogant. In the eyes of others, she was like an iceberg, keeping people at a distance.

Shu Wan'er was the daughter of a wealthy family in Zhuque City. To be honest, she had never really been in the kitchen before. In fact, she had put a lot of effort into this breakfast, hoping to get a good comment from Zhang Xiaofan.

Entering the living room, the rice was cooked in an electric rice cooker. Due to the unstable voltage, as soon as the rice cooker was opened, it was obvious that the rice had swollen and it took a long time to cook. Just looking at the color, it didn't seem appetizing.

The stir-fried dishes were also black. Even the stir-fried green vegetables were yellow. Zhang Xiaofan glanced at the dishes on the table and immediately frowned. He moved his chopsticks and, as expected, the taste was terrible!

With the unstable voltage, the heat of the induction cooker was uneven. How could the stir-fried dishes taste good?

"Sister Village Head, is this your first time cooking?" Zhang Xiaofan asked awkwardly.

Wang Ergou also took a bite beside him. Suddenly, his face turned dark. He felt embarrassed whether to spit it out or not. He had eaten a mouthful of salt.

"Zhang Xiaofan, isn't the food delicious?" The Village Head, who was full of excitement, obviously also looked a bit unhappy. She had tried her best, but the food still wasn't delicious. She felt so wronged that she wanted to cry, but her expression remained cold and beautiful.

Since coming to this village, she rarely ate because the food she cooked was really unpalatable, resulting in her being a bit malnourished now.

"Hmm! It's not delicious. You simply don't know how to stir-fry dishes."

Zhang Xiaofan said it directly without any concealment. Just then, Li Xiu'e came in.

"Sister-in-law Xiu'e, go to your house and stir-fry a few dishes. This food is simply inedible."
