"Hm? What is that awful smell!" Zhang Xiaohao muttered.
Looking down, he realized the foul odor was emanating from his own body.
At this moment, a thick layer of black impurities covered his body, making him look like a little black man.
"Hehe, all those Elixirs, Spiritual Medicines, and Divine Stones, yet all I got were these impurities!" Zhang Xiaohao shook his head and chuckled bitterly.
He glanced again at the Netherworld Holy Tree.
Seeing that the Netherworld Holy Tree was not affected despite the Holy Water running out, he finally put his heart at ease.
With his right hand, he put away the Three Dragon True Cauldron.
After deactivating the Array, Zhang Xiaohao walked out of the basement towards the second floor.
"Zhang Xiaohao, come here!" Just as he reached the second floor, a cold voice rang out.
Cheng Tianxue’s figure flashed and then she turned into the room next door.
"Eh! What’s up with Xue’er? Why did she go to the room next door? Could it be that she missed me?" Zhang Xiaohao excitedly thought to himself.
With that thought, he took three steps in two and quickly rushed forward.
Upon entering the room, he swiftly closed the door like lightning.
The room was pink, filled with warmth and coziness.
"Hm? It stinks! Jerk! Where have you been? Why do you smell so bad? Go take a cold shower right now!" Cheng Tianxue frowned and said.
"Ah! Xue’er, wait for me here, I’ll be right back." Zhang Xiaohao, unable to contain his impatience, dropped these words and dashed into the bathroom like lightning.
Seeing the bathroom door closed, Cheng Tianxue’s lips curled into a mischievous smile.
Her eyes squinted together like twinkling stars.
"Woof woof!" Little Spot scurried out from under the bed and affectionately rubbed its little head against Cheng Qingsu’s arm. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁
"Little Spot, don’t worry, I will definitely get your share!" Cheng Qingsu said.
"Woof woof!" Little Spot gently nodded its head.
"Alright, you better go now! My brother-in-law will be out soon." Cheng Qingsu said.
With a human-like nod, Little Spot turned and ran out.
Yesterday, Little Spot had tried all means but failed to break the Nine Extremes Trapped Sky Array in the basement.
As a Mutated Demon Beast, it had an extremely sensitive nose.
Smelling the strong fragrances and various incredible energies continuously emanating from the room,
Just as Cheng Qingsu returned from a mission, Little Spot, moved by a dog’s whim, went to find Cheng Qingsu.
It led Cheng Qingsu to the basement and humanly gestured several times.
Cheng Qingsu, intelligent as she was, coupled with the strong medicinal aromas and various immense energies coming from the room, immediately understood Little Spot’s intentions.
The entire next day, Cheng Qingsu didn’t go anywhere but stayed home waiting for Zhang Xiaohao to emerge.
This led to the scene that had just occurred.
The bathroom door opened, and a figure rushed out quickly.
"Ah!" Cheng Qingsu deliberately screamed.
Zhang Xiaohao did not carefully discern who the woman in front of him was but instinctively mistook her for Cheng Tianxue.
"Xue’er!" Zhang Xiaohao shouted loudly.
A tiger pouncing on its meal.
A quarter of an hour later.
"Ah! Bastard! Die!" Cheng Qingsu roared furiously, her foot flying like lightning, kicking Zhang Xiaohao away.
She leapt off the bed swiftly and rushed toward the bathroom.
Gazing at the "Aunt Flow" on the bed, Zhang Xiaohao was completely lost for words.
"Can this get any more melodramatic?" Zhang Xiaohao touched his nose and bitter-smiled.
The bathroom door opened.
Cheng Qingsu, draped in a white towel, came out with a cold, expressionless face.
She walked up to Zhang Xiaohao and just stared straight at him.
"Xue’er, what’s up? Is there something on my face?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"Brother-in-law, you’ve really got guts!" Cheng Qingsu coldly shouted.
"Huh? Qingsu? Come on, Xue’er, stop joking around. That kind of joke is not funny," Zhang Xiaohao shrugged and said.
He lazily sprawled on the bed.
He shifted to a comfortable position and said languidly, "Yap away!"
"Hehe!" Cheng Qingsu chuckled mischievously.
She pulled out her phone and dialed Cheng Tianxue’s number, purposely turning on the speakerphone.
"Xue’er, why are you calling at this hour?" Zhang Xiaohao asked, puzzled.
"Hehe!" Cheng Qingsu chuckled again but said nothing.
"You little brat, it’s so late. If you’re not going to sleep, at least let others sleep," came Cheng Tianxue’s stern voice over the phone.
Zhang Xiaohao’s body jolted, and he quickly sat up from the bed, ready to flee from this place of trouble.
"Brother-in-law, where are you going?" Cheng Qingsu asked, hanging up the phone with a mischievous laugh.
"That, I was sleepwalking! Yes, just sleepwalking, and I haven’t woken up yet, I’ll continue sleepwalking now," Zhang Xiaohao said awkwardly.
"Thinking of leaving, are you?" Cheng Qingsu said playfully.
"Look, Qingsu! Your brother-in-law is always full of integrity, uh, you must believe me, I really was sleepwalking! There’s no time to explain, I need to continue sleepwalking now," Zhang Xiaohao said guiltily.
"Really? I think I’m sleepwalking too. I’ll just call my sister again," Cheng Qingsu said.
After saying that, she made a move to dial Cheng Tianxue’s number.
Zhang Xiaohao’s figure flashed, rushing forward quickly.
"Wuuwuu..." Cheng Qingsu’s eyes widened in disbelief at the scene.
"Spit it out, what do you want?" Zhang Xiaohao said gruffly.
"Brother-in-law, you are indeed a straightforward person! I just about you," Cheng Qingsu giggled.
She sat up from the bed.
And just gazed at him with a cheerful smile.
"Brother-in-law, I know everything that goes on in your basement! Well, I don’t want much, just give me half of the good stuff you have, and I’ll pretend tonight’s events never happened," Cheng Qingsu said, smiling.
"There’s none left; I’ve eaten it all," Zhang Xiaohao rolled his eyes and said.
"Then I really have to call my sister now!" Cheng Qingsu said with a mischievous grin.
"The elixirs and all are truly gone, how about I give you the storage bag?" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Ah! A storage bag? Brother-in-law, you actually have such an incredible treasure?" Cheng Qingsu exclaimed excitedly.
