When Zhou Hao returned to Shilpo Mountain Stronghold, the villagers were very curious about where they had been, but they didn't dare to ask.

Zhou Hao ignored the villagers' gazes and went straight back to his room. He put down the little piglet and then displayed various treasures.

Unfortunately, the little piglet showed no reaction at all.

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

Zhou Hao's eyes lit up. The little piglet seemed to have sneezed before they went out.

But how could he make the little piglet sneeze? He couldn't force it.

Zhou Hao scratched his head, unable to come up with a solution. For now, he had to put this idea aside for a while. He needed to carve Murong's "Guan Yin who bestows children" now.

Since this was an official commission, he had to put his whole heart into it. If he carved even a little bit wrong, the fine jade would be wasted.

This carving took a whole day. By the next morning, Zhou Hao had finally completed the finished product.

He looked at the gentle, dignified, and serene "Guan Yin who bestows children" and smiled with satisfaction.

Murong should like it!

Time flew by, and soon, the day for Murong's arrival came again.

On this day, Zhou Hao lay in bed early, leaning against the headboard, waiting for Murong to arrive.

"Whoosh~"

A red light flashed, and Murong, clad in a phoenix robe, appeared beside Zhou Hao.

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

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

Zhou Hao was slightly stunned, thinking she was going to give him a surprise quiz! He hadn't read a single page.

"Hurry up," Murong urged.

Zhou Hao had no choice. Feeling uneasy, he took out the book and explained with a sheepish grin, "I haven't had much time recently, so I haven't read much."

He decided to explain first.

Murong immediately spotted the book "Three Lifetimes of Love" and quickly took it out, storing it in her spatial ring.

At the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Zhou Hao hadn't read much.

Seeing Murong put away "Three Lifetimes of Love," Zhou Hao smiled and said, "So this romance novel is yours?"

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

Murong paused, squinted, and asked, "Did you read it?"

Zhou Hao nodded, not understanding her meaning. "Yes, but I only read a little bit."

Murong's anxious heart immediately calmed down. She nodded and said, "This book isn't suitable for you."

"I think so too," Zhou Hao chuckled.

There were too many melodramatic plot points inside, which weren't suitable for him.

He suddenly stopped and looked at Murong in surprise. "This... this isn't something you read, is it?"

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

Zhou Hao shivered inexplicably and said with a laugh, "Of course it's allowed. I think the content inside is perfectly suited for you."

What nonsense! It's already strange enough for an Empress to read romance novels, let alone an Empress who doesn't even understand love reading romance novels. Isn't that even stranger?

Murong didn't know Zhou Hao's inner thoughts, or she would definitely have hung him up and beaten him.

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

Hearing Murong's voice from the right, Zhou Hao immediately looked to the left. As expected, Murong was no longer there.

He then turned his head to look at the right. Murong was already in the same position as him.

Zhou Hao's mouth twitched. He grumbled inwardly, "Can't you just climb up like a normal person?"

Murong glanced at Zhou Hao and asked, "What are you still spacing out for?"

Zhou Hao immediately unbuttoned his clothes to the last button, then flipped over, pulling the covers with him.

Before long, the atmosphere in the room began to heat up, and a warm, ambiguous aura filled the air.

After a long time, the two finally finished their "battle," and Zhou Hao went to take a shower.

Murong sat on the bed with one long leg bent, looking at the room from which the "splash" of water could be heard, the corners of her mouth curving slightly upwards.

After a while, Zhou Hao returned after his shower and asked, "Do you want to wash?"

"No need." Murong shook her head, got up, stretched, walked to the window, opened it, and sat by the window. She took out a handful of sunflower seeds and offered them to Zhou Hao.

"Want some?"

"I have some," Zhou Hao replied.

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

Just then, the little piglet being led by Zhou Yuanbao suddenly sneezed and then rushed towards Zhou Hao's room like crazy.

Murong raised an eyebrow slightly and transmitted a message to Zhou Yuanbao and Mu Jinyin, "Let it come over."

Zhou Yuanbao, who had intended to stop the piglet, didn't make a move.

Murong looked towards the doorway.

Soon, the piglet, Zhou Yuanbao, and Mu Jinyin appeared at the door and pushed it open.

Zhou Hao didn't know they were back all of a sudden and was almost startled, nearly dropping the sunflower seeds he had just gotten.

He glared and reprimanded, "Don't you know to knock?"

Speaking of which, didn't he lock the door? Why wasn't it locked?

Of course, Murong had opened it. She looked at the piglet circling her and asked Zhou Hao, "What is this?"

"Oh, wasn't I going to test the Metamorphosis Power? This is the result," Zhou Hao explained.

Murong looked at the piglet and nodded, "It's just a very ordinary pig, but it should have some special abilities!"

She noticed the piglet's attention was entirely on the sunflower seeds in his hand.

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

He glanced at the sunflower seeds in Murong's hand and asked thoughtfully, "What grade treasure are these sunflower seeds?"

"Mysterious Grade Low Rank," Murong said, throwing a seed on the ground.

The piglet immediately chased after it.

Zhou Hao had a flash of inspiration and thought, Could it be that the piglet can only find Mysterious Grade treasures?

He also threw out a seed.

The piglet hopped back and forth between the two seeds.

Zhou Hao was basically certain that the piglet could only find Mysterious Grade treasures. Although this testing method wasn't rigorous and he should try different Mysterious Grade treasures, he couldn't find any other Mysterious Grade items besides sunflower seeds at the moment.

Murong said softly, "Your Metamorphosis Incantation is indeed extraordinary, to be able to give an ordinary pig treasure-hunting abilities."

She was a little surprised herself.

Zhou Hao smiled happily, knowing his cultivation technique was very powerful, and he was naturally pleased.

Murong waved her sleeve gently, and the piglet immediately quieted down.

She cut off the aura emanating from the sunflower seeds. The piglet could no longer smell them and naturally stopped getting excited.

Murong asked, "What's its name?"

"Uh... I haven't named it yet," Zhou Hao said with an awkward laugh.

Murong smiled, "Then I'll help it pick one! Hmm... how about Jewelry?"

Zhou Hao was stunned for a moment, his mouth twitching. He silently complained in his heart, Yuanbao, Jinyin, Jewelry. These all represent money! How desperately poor are we?

However, the name Jewelry was quite fitting for the piglet.

So he nodded in agreement, "I'll listen to you, let's call it Jewelry!"

Murong beckoned to Jewelry, "Jewelry, come over here."

Unfortunately, Jewelry ignored her.

Only when Murong took out a sunflower seed did it excitedly run over and circle Murong.

Murong picked it up, then put the sunflower seed away, and said triumphantly, "Hmph, didn't you come over obediently in the end?"

Zhou Hao rolled his eyes and couldn't help but complain in his heart again, That was bribery.

He suddenly saw a bottle of green liquid appear in Murong's hand and immediately knew what was about to happen.

Murong said, "This is [Mysterious Sun Immortal Grass Liquid]. It can improve your physique. Although its effect is not as good as other body-strengthening pills, it has the advantage of mild medicinal properties, so even an ordinary pig can use it."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hao thought, As expected, Murong is going to give a gift.

But he was used to it; money made people willful.

Murong handed the [Mysterious Sun Immortal Grass Liquid] to Zhou Hao and said, "Feed it one drop every day, and it will soon be able to shed its Mortal Beast form."

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

Afterward, Murong let go of Jewelry and turned her attention to Zhou Hao
