Chapter 45: Breakthrough Again!

“Damn it!” Tu Feng’s eyes were filled with resentment, and a wisp of black smoke emerged from his body.

This physical form was about to collapse; he had to escape.

The black smoke floated out from Tu Feng’s body, searching for its next prey.

Then, it charged towards Zhong Li Yu and Zhou Bei, who were fleeing!

Fang Yu pointed in the direction of its escape.

“Boom!”

A ball of pale red true energy shot towards the black smoke!

The black smoke was blown apart by this true energy, emitting a piercing sound in the air.

But soon, it reformed into a mass and quickly burrowed into Zhong Li Yu’s body!

Zhong Li Yu let out a scream and began to convulse.

At the same time, a small wisp of black smoke also entered Zhou Bei’s body.

Zhou Bei wailed repeatedly as his physical form was consumed by the black smoke until he vanished.

Seconds later, Zhong Li Yu stood up from the ground, her eyes now completely black.

Gritting her teeth, she exerted all her strength to run away.

The undead had already suffered severe injuries; if this physical form was destroyed again, it would truly be obliterated.

This damned Fang Yu had made it so miserable!

Once it regained ninety percent of its strength in the future, it would definitely seek revenge!

Zhong Li Yu quickly escaped from Fang Yu’s line of sight.

Fang Yu initially thought that after that one finger gesture, this undead would be dispersed.

He didn’t expect that the undead could still merge back together and possess Zhong Li Yu to escape.

However, Fang Yu did not pursue further.

A mere thousand-year-old undead, already heavily injured, couldn’t stir up much trouble.

If they met again, Fang Yu could disperse it with a single slap.

…

Fang Yu returned to Jiang Hai City with a book on the Devouring Essence Technique and a Frost Lotus.

He intended to head straight back to the Lijiang community, but then remembered he hadn’t watered the vegetable garden in a few days.

So, he went directly to the back mountain of Jiannan Village.

As he passed the entrance of Jiannan Village, he saw a Hummer SUV parked by the roadside.

Fang Yu remembered that this car belonged to Qin Yimo.

Sure enough, as Fang Yu approached, the car door opened.

Qin Yimo was wearing a wine-red jacket and casual jeans. Her smooth black hair fell over her shoulders, making her look very lively.

She held a gift box in her hand and walked up to Fang Yu.

“Mr. Fang, I specifically waited here for you.”

“What do you need me for?” Fang Yu asked.

“My grandfather asked me to bring you this gift box. He said today is a special day,” Qin Yimo said expressionlessly.

“What special day?” Fang Yu asked, confused.

“He didn’t say,” Qin Yimo replied.

“Oh, never mind. Just give me the gift box,” Fang Yu extended his hand.

Seeing Fang Yu’s lack of courtesy, Qin Yimo felt a bit dissatisfied but still handed the gift box to him.

“Is there anything else?” Fang Yu asked.

Qin Yimo shook her head but suddenly remembered something and asked, “Mr. Fang, why has your house… turned into ruins?”

“It was forcibly demolished. I was a nail household, and the developers kept asking me to leave, but I refused. As a result, they blew up my house while I wasn’t home,” Fang Yu explained.

“…” Qin Yimo saw Fang Yu’s calm demeanor and realized he wasn’t joking, leaving her momentarily at a loss for words.

“I’m currently living on the 27th floor of Building C in the Lijiang community. If you need to find me in the future, just go there,” Fang Yu added.

“Okay, then I’ll leave first,” Qin Yimo smiled on the surface but felt indifferent inside.

If it weren’t for her grandfather’s request, who would want to find you?

Qin Yimo turned to head back to her car but was stopped by Fang Yu.

“You have ham in that gift box, so come with me. I’ll treat you to some exquisite delicacies,” Fang Yu said.

…

Thus, Qin Yimo followed Fang Yu to the vegetable garden.

Watching Fang Yu go to the stream outside to fetch water and return to water the vegetables, she was quite surprised at his skillful technique.

Last time, when Fang Yu gave her some vegetables, she thought he was just teasing her.

It turned out those vegetables were indeed grown by Fang Yu.

“Have you ever grown vegetables?” Fang Yu asked after finishing watering.

Qin Yimo shook her head.

As the daughter of the Qin family, she had never had the opportunity to engage in such activities, regardless of her willingness.

Sometimes, Fang Yu would cook in the vegetable garden, so there were some tools in the small wooden house nearby, including a pot and some simple seasonings.

Fang Yu took out the pot, filled it with half a pot of water from the stream, and then took out the thousand-year-old Frost Lotus from his pocket, washed it, and tossed it into the pot.

Then, he took some ham from the gift box Qin Yimo brought and added it to the pot, starting a fire to cook.

Using a Frost Lotus worth billions to make soup, in this world, probably only Fang Yu could do that.

Qin Yimo watched Fang Yu make the soup and scoffed inwardly.

Just a piece of grass whose name she didn’t know, combined with a bit of ham, was called exquisite delicacy?

But after a few minutes, a rich aroma wafted from the pot.

Qin Yimo’s expression changed slightly, feeling a bit slapped in the face.

“It smells good, but whether it’s tasty is another matter,” she thought to herself.

After another ten minutes, the fragrance became even more intense.

Qin Yimo wasn’t particularly hungry, but with the aroma wafting around, her stomach unexpectedly growled.

How could soup made from just ham and a piece of grass smell so good?

“Mr. Fang… is it ready yet?” Qin Yimo asked, almost blushing.

“Not yet; it needs to simmer for at least an hour,” Fang Yu replied.

So, Qin Yimo continued to wait with wide eyes for a long time, swallowing her saliva countless times in the meantime.

“Done.”

Finally, Fang Yu lifted the lid of the pot.

The aroma completely filled the air, and Qin Yimo couldn’t maintain her composure any longer, leaning forward eagerly to watch Fang Yu.

Fang Yu scooped a spoonful of soup from the pot and poured it into a bowl.

Qin Yimo instinctively reached out to take it.

“Wait, that’s too much,” Fang Yu said, pouring half of the soup back into the pot.

Making soup directly with the Frost Lotus, the effects contained in the soup were something an ordinary person couldn’t handle; they definitely couldn’t drink too much.

Seeing Fang Yu pour nearly half of the already small amount of soup back into the pot, Qin Yimo was almost furious.

Did this person really need to be so stingy?

There was still a large pot of soup, and he only gave her this little bit?

“Do you have bottled water in your car?” Fang Yu asked.

Qin Yimo gritted her teeth in anger and nodded with a pale face.

“Then go get a bottle of water and pour it into this bowl to dilute it; it will taste better,” Fang Yu said.

“…” Qin Yimo could hardly maintain basic politeness.

“I’m serious; you’ll know if you try it,” Fang Yu insisted.

Qin Yimo took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, then went back to the car to grab a bottle of water, almost in a self-destructive manner, pouring it into the bowl and diluting the soup that was already less than a third full into a full bowl.

What flavor could this possibly have? It was just nonsense!

Qin Yimo’s eyes were slightly red with anger.

After waiting an hour, she could only drink this diluted soup.

But in the end, she still suppressed her displeasure and took a small sip.

Hmm? It was delicious!

She took another sip.

Even diluted like this, how could it still taste so good?

Qin Yimo finished the soup in two or three sips, savoring it endlessly.

If it tasted this good when diluted, how much better would it be undiluted?

She looked at Fang Yu, wanting more.

But at that moment, Fang Yu was holding the pot and drinking directly from it!

Qin Yimo was so furious she was almost trembling, her chest heaving.

“I’m leaving!”

Qin Yimo turned and walked away without looking back.

If she stayed any longer, she would not only be tempted but also driven mad!

“I’m really not trying to deny you; if you drink too much, your body won’t be able to handle it,” Fang Yu called out from behind.

Can’t handle it?

Why can you drink straight from the pot, but if I drink a little more, my body can’t take it?

Stingy is stingy; there’s no need to argue!

Qin Yimo was furious, quickly returning to her car and stepping on the gas to leave.

This Fang Yu was nothing but shameless, thick-skinned, lecherous, and stingy!

When she got back, she would definitely tell her grandfather never to let her see Fang Yu again!

…

In the afternoon, Fang Yu arrived at school and saw Liu Pangzi’s back on the first floor.

For the past two years, Liu Pangzi had been the only person Fang Yu could chat with at school, making him a friend.

However, they hadn’t seen each other much lately, nor had they communicated.

So, Fang Yu walked up and patted Liu Pangzi on the shoulder to greet him.

Liu Pangzi seemed startled, trembling all over, and shrank his head back.

Seeing his reaction, Fang Yu frowned slightly.

Then, Fang Yu noticed that Liu Pangzi’s face was covered in bruises.

His left eye was swollen with a bruise, and his forehead was wrapped in bandages.

“Fang, Fang Yu…” Liu Pangzi looked at Fang Yu, his eyes a bit evasive.

“Who did this to you?” Fang Yu’s expression suddenly turned cold as he asked.
