Chapter 31: The Fairy’s Killing Intent Fills The Air, The Main Gate Cracks, The Ground Shatters
Chu Hao signed for the express delivery in his own shop.
There happened to be a tea table in the shop, so he could take a look at this Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea.
Since he had already spent fifty thousand to buy it, he had to see where the Chen Family Head got the courage to sell it at such a high price.
Even if he had really been a fool this time, he wanted to be a clear-headed one.
He opened the packaging of the express delivery, inside was a bamboo box, and in the bamboo box lay a bamboo tube fixed in place with foam, with the words “Chen Clan Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea” carved on it.
The opening of the bamboo tube was sealed with wax, with a piece of red paper bearing the words “Chen Clan” pasted over it.
This should be imitating the wax-sealed letters of ancient times.
The fact that the wax seal and red paper were intact meant it had not been opened; otherwise it would prove that this Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea had been opened before.
“They did put some thought into this part.” Chu Hao muttered, opened the wax seal, and saw the bamboo tea inside the bamboo tube.
He took the tea-making tools, picked out some bamboo tea, and put it into the teapot.
He started boiling water and steeping the bamboo tea.
Only when a whole pot of water turned a faint green did he filter the tea and pour himself a cup.
Lifting it to his nose for a sniff, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
A rich and refreshing aroma drifted to his nose and drew him in.
This tea fragrance smelled wonderful.
Even after he moved the teacup away, the tip of his nose was still wrapped in that fresh scent, lingering for a long time.
“This fragrance is quite something.” Chu Hao was surprised and suddenly became a bit expectant about this Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea. He subconsciously brought the teacup to his lips and started drinking.
The taste of this bamboo tea was very good as well.
At least in terms of fragrance and flavor, this was definitely good tea.
After two cups went down, the expression on his face was no longer surprise, but shock.
A strange, refreshing sensation suddenly appeared, extremely enjoyable.
Moreover, it was a summer evening; the sultry heat would usually make people feel weak. Yet after two cups of Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, that oppressive fatigue was gone, and his whole mental state improved.
This clear and distinct feeling left him staring blankly at the teapot.
Wait, was this Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea from the Chen Family Head really this awesome?
Such a miraculous effect could not come from ordinary tea. Forget tea that cost tens of thousands per jin; even tea at over one hundred thousand per jin could not possibly have this effect.
Chu Hao immediately picked up his mobile phone to check the introduction to Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea in the Chen Family Head’s junior sister’s window.
Leaving aside claims like treating insomnia, irritability, and clearing heart fire, he looked at the girl who came into his shop angrily and then turned to the part describing its effect on hot-tempered girlfriends.
The girl was not his girlfriend, but his younger sister. Yet her teenage temper was super explosive, to the point where one teasing comment about her makeup looking truly ugly would definitely earn him a violent kick as her brother.
“Little sister, come sit. What made you so angry?” Chu Hao called his sister over.
Sitting down, Chu Ling said viciously, “It’s all because of that bitch Lin Xiao. She actually has her eye on the same guy as me. The fact I didn’t rip her hair out today was her good luck.”
Hearing this matter of romantic rivalry, Chu Hao knew how angry his sister was. He casually poured her a cup of Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea. “Have some tea to cool off.”
Chu Ling, still fuming, picked up the teacup and drank.
Chu Hao kept watching his sister’s reaction. He could clearly see the anger on her face suddenly turn into confusion, and then into surprise.
Chu Ling could not help asking, “Bro, what tea is this? It’s not only very fragrant, but after drinking it there’s also this refreshing feeling.”
“Have another cup.” Chu Hao poured her a second cup.
After she drank two cups of Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, he could clearly see the anger on her face disappear and turn calm.
Holy crap, this was kind of awesome.
Seeing this, he decided to risk a little experiment. “Little sister, your makeup today is kind of ugly.”
“Bro, if you can’t talk properly then shut up.” Chu Ling rolled her eyes at him and just picked up her mobile phone to scroll on her own.
Seeing this, Chu Hao could hardly believe it.
She actually did not resort to violence.
He wanted to test further and bluntly said, “Little sister, you’re really ugly.”
This time Chu Ling was unhappy. “Chu Hao, don’t go too far. I’m getting angry.”
Looking at her threatening posture, Chu Hao once again felt that this Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea was awesome.
No wonder the Chen Family Head dared to claim that this Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea worked on hot-tempered girlfriends.
Given his little sister’s explosive temper, and she still had not laid a hand on him.
He immediately thought of the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea video from the Chen Family Head. Many people had mocked him as a fool for really spending fifty thousand to buy this Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea.
Those people called him a fool; now he just wanted to say, that was because they were ignorant.
He became somewhat curious about that Chen Family Head.
This Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea actually had such an effect.
Apparently that Chen Family Head’s ancient technique was also insanely impressive, carrying a hint of mystery.
Then he thought of the Chen Clan Ancient Architectural Complex that “Xiao Yu Za” had promoted. That simple and unadorned beauty and ornamental value suddenly had a strong pull on him for some reason, and he directly opened the ticket purchase link to book tickets.
He suddenly wanted to go to the Chen Clan Ancient Architectural Complex for a trip.
Linhe County belonged to Qingmin City. Xiao Yu had long been waiting at an arrival gate in the city airport. As she held her mobile phone and checked the backstage data, she saw a new reminder of an online ticket purchase.
This made her very happy. With every additional tourist, the Chen Clan improved a bit.
Of course, what mattered most next was hosting Xiao Mi Jie well. As long as she was willing to help with promotion, the Chen Clan would definitely gain a lot of popularity.
Just then, she saw a woman about one meter sixty-five tall with a great figure coming out of the exit. Even with a mask on, it was obvious she was a beauty.
“Xiao Mi Jie!” Xiao Yu quickly picked up the pickup sign and waved to the beauty.
……
The Chen Clan.
Lying on a chair in the courtyard, Chen Han also wore a faint smile.
After he uploaded today’s video of provoking dog demon infighting, the scene of the dog demons joining forces really had drawn ridicule from fellow daoists and immortal venerables from all sides.
So the video data was pretty good. In half an hour, more than ten people had followed him, giving him ten more reputation points.
Very soon, night fell.
After having some dinner at his uncle’s place, Chen Han returned to his courtyard. The new video had brought him a few more reputation points, bringing his total reputation to （90/2000).
And it was not long before he suddenly received a string of game prompts about awe-inspiring wonders:
【Congratulations, the Chen Clan’s wonders are awe-inspiring. Reputation +1!】
【Congratulations, the Chen Clan’s wonders are awe-inspiring. Reputation +1!】
【……】
There were five in total.
That meant new tourists had arrived at the Three Old Elm Trees. These tourists had all bought their tickets online through his junior sister’s Douyin account.
All the other tourists except Mr. Zhao had already left. After all, they were all wage slaves of the new era; for out-of-towners, playing for a day and staying one night was already good.
Now his total reputation had just reached If he went to perform a manifestation before people, he could push it past
However, there were no apples left in his warehouse. He planned to go pick up a few at the tourist center, but found there were no apples today, only pineapples.
Seeing this, he simply took a pineapple into his warehouse and then headed toward the Three Old Elm Trees.
As soon as he arrived at the Three Old Elm Trees, he saw five young people filming videos under them. Although the light was dim at night, the hazy light sometimes made for an even better mood.
“It’s the Chen Family Head.” A young man saw Chen Han and greeted him in surprise.
The other four also looked toward Chen Han.
“Hello, welcome to the Chen Clan.” Chen Han greeted the five with a smile and was about to take the chance to perform a manifestation before people when he heard the young man say, “Chen Family Head, can you turn something into an apple?”
As soon as he said that, the other four all subconsciously took out their mobiles to start recording.
Seeing this, Chen Han knew his ancient technique had gained some minor fame. These people had likely done their homework before coming and seen videos related to him.
Since that was the case, he would go along and perform a manifestation before people. It was just that there were no apples, so he would give them a pineapple instead.
Thinking this, he beckoned to the young man.
The young man’s face lit up. The Chen Family Head was going to turn something into an apple for him.
As he walked up, he saw the Chen Family Head turn his palm over right in front of him. Before he could react, he stared wide-eyed at the pineapple that had appeared in the Chen Family Head’s hand.
Holy crap.
An apple would still be understandable.
A pineapple?
【Congratulations, through your manifestation before people, you have gained 1 reputation point!】
【Congratulations, through your manifestation before people, you have gained 1 reputation point!】
【……】
Seeing the five reputation prompts from the game system, Chen Han handed the pineapple to the young man and said, “Have fun, everyone.”
With his goal achieved, he left with a smile and returned to the Chen Clan.
The five young men stared at that pineapple, unable to react for a long time.
“Did any of you see him carrying a pineapple just now?”
“No, and I didn’t see how he made this pineapple appear.”
“He just flipped his palm. Where could he have hidden such a big pineapple? Could it really be some kind of spell?”
“……”
The five of them could not figure it out at all and felt like they would be kept awake at night by their tangled thoughts.
…
Chen Han had just returned to the Chen Clan Main Entrance when he saw a Civic sedan driving into the parking lot. It was his junior sister’s car.
He froze on the spot.
Because he knew the Hundred Flowers Palace Fairy who had come to seek revenge was in that car.
He was just about to enter the gate when they were about to bump into each other. That was really too much of a coincidence.
After parking, Xiao Yu turned to the exquisitely beautiful woman in the passenger seat and said, “Xiao Mi Jie, get out and take a look. Our Chen Clan will not disappoint you.”
Xiao Mi nodded, got out of the car, and at a glance saw the stretch of ancient architectural complex in front of her. Even though it was night, under the light, the simple and unadorned charm was still visible at a glance.
Seeing it in person, its ornamental value truly amazed her.
As a national style blogger, the places she visited most often were all kinds of ancient building sites, but judging from just this first impression, she felt none of the places she had been to before could compare to this one.
Suddenly, a sharp glint appeared in her eyes as she looked toward the entrance, toward that familiar figure. She would recognize him even if he turned to ashes.
When she had happily announced her boyfriend to her friends and relatives and spent more than a hundred thousand on his birthday gift, he had slipped away without a word, blocked her on Weixin, and blocked her phone.
That kind of blow—who could know how she had gotten through this period?
Every night in her dreams she wanted to kill him, and it had even given her severe insomnia.
If he had not blatantly flaunted himself online, she would not even have been able to find him.
Now that she had found him, she would never let him go. She would definitely see him ruined and disgraced.
Seeing Xiao Mi, Chen Han felt guilty and also awkward. Just as he wanted to greet her, the game system appeared:
【Task prompt: crisis descends suddenly. The Hundred Flowers Palace Fairy appears before the family gate, filled with murderous intent. The dense killing aura causes the surrounding air temperature to plummet. She seems ready to strike you at any time. Please resolve your hatred with the Hundred Flowers Palace Fairy as soon as possible.】
Hearing this prompt, Chen Han sighed to himself. It seemed Xiao Mi really hated him.
“Xiao Mi Jie, this is my senior brother Chen Han.” Xiao Yu quickly introduced Xiao Mi Jie and, eager to claim credit, ran to Chen Han and said proudly, “Senior brother, this is Xiao Mi Jie. You must have come across her videos, right?”
“Y-yeah, I’ve seen them.” Chen Han wanted to say that it was more than just her videos he had seen, he had seen her in person too. Just as that thought surfaced, another game prompt appeared:
【Task reminder: danger level has increased. The Hundred Flowers Palace Fairy is wantonly releasing her killing aura. Under her killing aura, cracks are appearing in the family residence gate, and the ground beneath her feet is fracturing inch by inch under the impact of her killing intent. Please resolve your grudge with the Hundred Flowers Palace Fairy as soon as possible!】
“……” Chen Han opened his mouth, silently complaining, “Do you have to exaggerate like this? System, you can’t scare me.”
But then he sighed again. The Hundred Flowers Palace Fairy’s love had turned to hate; the greater the hate now, the deeper the love had been before.
This made him feel inexplicably guilty and a bit heartbroken for her. After all, they had cultivated concave-convex divine arts together as dual cultivation partners. His heart was not made of iron.
Xiao Mi looked at the senior brother and junior sister. Especially at the instant she met Chen Han’s gaze, the killing intent in her eyes seemed about to solidify into something tangible.
