Mysterious Sun Immortal Grass Liquid

After Zhou Hao returned to Shilpo Mountain Stronghold, the villagers were all extremely curious about what they had gone out to do, but none of them dared ask.

Ignoring their gazes, Zhou Hao went straight back to his room, set down the little piglet, and laid out all kinds of treasures.

Unfortunately, the little piglet showed no reaction whatsoever.

"Does it need to sneeze?" Zhou Yuanbao reminded him.

Zhou Hao's eyes lit up. The little piglet seemed to have gone out only after sneezing earlier.

But how was he supposed to make the little piglet sneeze? He could not force it.

Zhou Hao scratched his head, unable to think of any solution. For now, he could only set the idea aside. He needed to carve Murong's "Guan Yin who bestows children" now.

Since this was an official piece, he had to devote himself to it completely. If he made even the slightest mistake, this fine jade would go to waste.

A whole day passed just like that. It was not until the next morning that Zhou Hao finally completed the finished product.

Looking at the gentle, dignified, serene "Guan Yin who bestows children," he smiled in satisfaction.

Murong should like it, right?

Time flowed on, and soon, the day of Murong's arrival came again.

That day, Zhou Hao lay on his bed early, leaning against the headboard as he waited for Murong.

"Whoosh~"

A streak of red light flashed past, and Murong, dressed in phoenix robes, appeared beside Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao patted the space on the right side of the bed with his right hand and said with a grin, "Come up."

Murong ignored him and said, "Take out the books I gave you."

Zhou Hao froze slightly. He had thought she was about to conduct a surprise inspection! He had not read a single one yet.

"Quickly," Murong urged.

Zhou Hao had no choice but to take out the books, his heart uneasy as he explained with an embarrassed smile, "I've been busy lately, so I haven't read much."

Better explain himself first.

Murong immediately spotted the book Three Lifetimes of Love, pulled it out, and put it into her spatial ring.

At the same time, she sighed in relief. Fortunately, Zhou Hao had not read much of it.

Watching Murong put Three Lifetimes of Love away, Zhou Hao smiled. "So this romance novel was yours?"

He had thought Murong had given it to him to pass the time!

Murong paused, then narrowed her eyes and asked, "You read it?"

Zhou Hao nodded without understanding why. "I did, but only a little."

Murong's uneasy heart immediately settled, and she nodded. "This book is not suitable for you."

"I think so too." Zhou Hao chuckled.

There were far too many melodramatic twists inside. It was not for him.

Then he suddenly paused and stared at Murong in surprise. "This... you weren't the one reading it, were you?"

"Is that not allowed?" Murong narrowed her eyes dangerously.

For no reason at all, Zhou Hao shuddered from head to toe. Laughing awkwardly, he said, "Of course it is. I think the contents are perfectly suited for you."

My ass. It was already bizarre enough for an Empress to read romance novels. An Empress who did not even understand love reading romance novels—wasn't that even more bizarre?

Murong did not know Zhou Hao was mocking her inwardly. Otherwise, she would definitely have hung him up and beaten him.

She nodded lightly, glanced at the other side of the bed, and with a flash, appeared at Zhou Hao's right side.

Hearing Murong's voice from the right, Zhou Hao immediately looked left. Sure enough, Murong was no longer there.

When he turned to look right again, Murong had already assumed the same posture as him.

The corner of Zhou Hao's mouth twitched as he complained inwardly, Couldn't you climb up like a normal person?

Murong glanced at Zhou Hao and asked, "What are you standing there for?"

Zhou Hao immediately lifted the clothes he had already undone to the last step, then turned over, pulling the blanket along with him.

Before long, the atmosphere in the room began to heat up, and an intimate, enchanting air filled the space.

After a long while, the two finally finished their "battle," and Zhou Hao had already gone to bathe.

Murong sat on the bed with one long leg bent, watching the room where the sound of splashing water echoed. The corners of her lips curled up slightly.

Before long, Zhou Hao finished washing and returned. "Do you want to wash?"

"No need." Murong shook her head, stood and stretched lazily, then went to the window, opened it, and sat beside it. Taking out a handful of sunflower seeds, she held them out before Zhou Hao.

"Want some?"

"I have some," Zhou Hao said.

Murong smiled faintly. "These are different from yours."

At that moment, the little piglet, which Zhou Yuanbao had been walking, suddenly sneezed hard and then charged madly toward Zhou Hao's room.

Murong raised her brows slightly and sent a voice transmission to Zhou Yuanbao and Mu Jinyin. "Let it come over."

Zhou Yuanbao, who had been about to stop the little piglet, did not make a move.

Murong looked toward the doorway.

Very soon, the little piglet, Zhou Yuanbao, and Mu Jinyin appeared at the door and pushed it open to enter.

Zhou Hao had not known they had suddenly returned and was nearly startled. The sunflower seeds he had just received almost fell from his hand.

His face darkened as he scolded them, "Don't you know to knock?"

Hadn't he locked the door? Why had it not been locked?

Of course, Murong had opened it. Looking at the little piglet circling around her, she asked Zhou Hao, "This is?"

"Oh~ Didn't I want to test the Metamorphosis Power? This is the result," Zhou Hao explained.

Murong looked at the little piglet and nodded. "It is only a very ordinary pig, but it should have some special ability, right?"

She had noticed that the little piglet's attention had remained fixed on the sunflower seeds in her hand.

Zhou Hao nodded. "It should be a treasure-seeking pig, but I still haven't figured out the conditions for triggering its ability."

Looking at the sunflower seeds in Murong's hand, he asked thoughtfully, "What grade of treasure are those sunflower seeds?"

"Mysterious Grade Low Rank." Murong tossed a sunflower seed onto the floor.

The little piglet immediately chased after it.

An idea flashed through Zhou Hao's mind. Could it be that the little piglet can only seek Mysterious Grade treasures?

He threw out another sunflower seed as well.

The little piglet hopped back and forth between the two sunflower seeds.

Zhou Hao could basically confirm that the little piglet only sought Mysterious Grade Treasures. Although this method of testing was not rigorous—he should have tested different Mysterious Grade treasures—he could not find any other Mysterious Grade items besides sunflower seeds for the moment.

Murong said softly, "Your Metamorphosis Incantation truly is extraordinary. It can even grant an ordinary pig the ability to seek treasures."

She was somewhat surprised as well.

Zhou Hao smiled happily. Knowing that his cultivation technique was so powerful, how could he not be pleased?

Murong lightly waved her sleeve, and the little piglet immediately calmed down.

She had cut off the aura emitted by the sunflower seeds. Unable to smell it, the little piglet naturally stopped getting excited.

Murong asked, "What is its name?"

"Uh... I haven't named it yet." Zhou Hao smiled awkwardly.

Murong smiled. "Then I'll give it one! Hmm... how about Jewel?"

Zhou Hao froze, the corner of his mouth twitching wildly as he complained inwardly, Yuanbao, Jinyin, Jewel—those all represent money! Just how desperately short of money are we?

Still, Jewel was quite fitting as a name for the little piglet.

So he nodded in agreement. "As you wish. We'll call it Jewel."

Murong beckoned to Jewel. "Jewel, come here."

Unfortunately, Jewel ignored her.

It was not until Murong took out a sunflower seed that it ran over joyfully and circled around her.

Murong picked it up, then put away the sunflower seed and said smugly, "Hmph, didn't you come over obediently after all?"

Zhou Hao rolled his eyes and could not help complaining inwardly again, That was baiting it.

Then he suddenly saw a bottle of green liquid appear in Murong's hand and immediately knew what would happen next.

Murong said, "This is Mysterious Sun Immortal Grass Liquid. It can improve its physique. Although its effect is not as good as other body-strengthening pills, its medicinal properties are gentle. Even an ordinary pig can use it."

Hearing this, Zhou Hao thought, Sure enough, Murong is giving another gift.

But he was used to it by now. The rich could do whatever they wanted.

Murong handed the Mysterious Sun Immortal Grass Liquid to Zhou Hao and said, "Feed it one drop every day. It will soon break free of the Mortal Beast rank."

Zhou Hao put away the Mysterious Sun Immortal Grass Liquid and nodded. "I understand."

Murong then set Jewel down and turned to look at Zhou Hao...
