"Do you have anything to eat? It's been so long since I last ate anything!" Yun Hao picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one go, then looked at the other person and said.
"Aren't you afraid I might have poisoned the wine?"
"If you wanted to kill , you wouldn't need to bother with sothing like that. Do you have food or not, I'm hungry!"
"No, I don't have any food here. But, this wine can fill your hunger! Try drinking another cup!" The white-haired man lightly shook his head and then poured another glass for Yun Hao!
"Can wine really satisfy hunger?" Yun Hao doubted it, but the wine tasted quite rich and smooth, so he drank another glass. After two consecutive glasses, Yun Hao's eyes widened in surprise as the sensation of hunger actually disappeared!
Holy crap, where on earth am I? Who exactly is this white-haired man? Why does everything here seem so strange?
"So, how is it? Not hungry anymore, right? There's a slab under the waterfall over there. Can you help pull it ashore?" The white-haired man pointed to the waterfall nearby and said to Yun Hao.
"Can't you do it yourself? Why are you making do it?"
"Because if you don't go, I'll beat you!"
Holy crap, Yun Hao almost cursed out loud. This is just too bullying, isn't it? How could anyone act like this? After glaring angrily at the white-haired man, Yun Hao obediently walked towards the waterfall.
The water was very cool but not cold; instead, it felt comfortable, as if it could wash away fatigue. Reaching the center of the lake, through waist-high water, Yun Hao saw a large stone slab about five ters long on the lakebed and bent down to grab the two chains tied to it.
Judging from its shape and scale, this stone slab must weigh at least half a ton. Although Yun Hao is proud, he's not conceited to the point of thinking he could handle such weight!
Furthermore, the resistance from the water made it even more difficult!
Yun Hao estimated that to move this slab, one would need at least the strength of a Fifth Grade Martial Artist like Bai Qingcheng!
"I can't move this slab; it's beyond my strength. You give it a try and let see!" Yun Hao said, holding onto the chain and turning to the white-haired man nearby.
"I have a breathing technique here; you should learn it. If in three days, this slab hasn't budged at all, I'll slice you up and roast you!" The white-haired man then tossed a tattered book to Yun Hao, and when Yun Hao accepted it with confusion, he discovered that the white-haired man had vanished into thin air!
Holy crap, is there a ghost!
Of course, this was just a fleeting thought. If the white-haired man were a ghost, wouldn't that make him one too?
Back on the shore, Yun Hao imdiately opened the tattered book and started reading. At this point, if he still didn't know that the white-haired man was a top expert, he'd truly be a bit foolish!
Since he was a top expert, giving him a book, even if it's just a breathing technique, and the book is in a poor condition, as the saying goes, even the strands of hair from a celestial being are stronger than ordinary people's hair!
Thus, Yun Hao focused intently on the tattered book, growing more intrigued and happier as he read, losing track of ti, and before he knew it, he had been reading for over two hours. Closing the book, Yun Hao sat down cross-legged and began to practice breathing according to the thod described in the book!
After an unknown period, a tantalizing sll of roasted at drifted into Yun Hao's nostrils, snapping him out of his breathing practice. Turning his head, he saw the white-haired man roasting at not far away!
Having not eaten for who knows how long, Yun Hao didn't care about cultivation anymore. Even if he had to die, he wanted to die full!
"Where did you find such plump rabbits, so much at?" Yun Hao excitedly asked, gazing at the two plump rabbits sizzling with oil on the spit.
"Caught them outside in the world. Try so, my roasting skills are quite remarkable!" The white-haired man casually tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to Yun Hao!
Grabbing the rabbit leg, Yun Hao took big bites, but he didn't reply to the white-haired man's comnt. Why? Because the roast at wasn't much better than his own cooking, and compared to those in outside restaurants, it was completely different in taste.
So, to avoid a senseless beating, Yun Hao chose silence!
"Thank you for the roast at and wine!" Yun Hao was full but hadn't drunk enough, for the white-haired man only allowed him a small cup of wine after the al, but he was satisfied!
Yun Hao's curiosity about the white-haired man's identity grew, as he noticed that the mysterious drink seed to accelerate the flow of inner strength within him!
Back at the lakeside, Yun Hao resud practicing the breathing technique according to the book he received. As ti passed, Yun Hao felt the inner strength in his body increasing, and its flow rate seemingly quickening!
"Now that's more like it. At this rate, I might soon break through to the realm of a Third Grade Martial Artist!" the white-haired man muttered softly to himself as he watched Yun Hao's breathing practice from a distance.
Unbeknownst to Yun Hao, as he practiced the breathing technique here, two tents were set up at the edge of the cliff where he fell. Liu ngqi and Seductive Snake shared one, while Chu Yan and Zhao Shishi shared the other!
The four won had been staying here for three days already!
"You two are a bit frail, why don't you go back to the city to rest. We've searched for so long but haven't found Yun Hao's body, he must have been rescued!" Liu ngqi advised the two won in the other tent.
"But it's been so long. Why is there still no news? My husband will definitely contact !" At this point, Chu Yan's youthful charm had faded, and she looked visibly tired, as did Zhao Shishi beside her!
It was understandable; the two delicate city ladies had been searching for Yun Hao in the mountains for ten days without a break, lacking Liu ngqi's robust physique!
"Maybe he's a little inconvenienced now, or perhaps he's trapped sowhere?" Zhao Shishi comforted gently.
"Even if we find him, he probably only has a few days left to live. It might actually be better if we don't find him!" Seductive Snake comnted softly.
"What do you an? What do you an by 'a few days left to live'?" Chu Yan and Zhao Shishi both turned to Seductive Snake, their curious gazes fixed on her!
"They don't know?" Seductive Snake didn't answer the two won's questions but looked inquisitively at Liu ngqi next to her!
"Well, now they know, you chatterbox. You explain to them; I'm going to sleep!" Liu ngqi shot Seductive Snake a glare, then ducked into the tent to sleep!
