Li Chuan studied on the bed for a good while, but still couldn't find a way to deal with the Gu Insect.
Luckily, this Gu Insect didn't seem to have much of an effect on him.
"Forget it, once my cultivation improves, I'll naturally find a solution." Li Chuan was quite easygoing by nature, and after thinking it through, he stopped worrying about it. He lay back down on the bed, held Murong Xue, and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning.
The first thing Li Chuan felt was a warm, gentle sucking, like waves crashing against him.
He slowly opened his eyes to see Murong Xue's head buried at his waist, her little head moving incessantly.
This surprised Li Chuan; he hadn't expected Murong Xue to have unlocked this skill tree!
Seeming to have sensed Li Chuan's movent, Murong Xue lifted her head to look at him, a defiant glint in her eyes: "Forgot to tell you, my tongue can also tie knots with ropes!"
Li Chuan laughed.
Which man wouldn't like a woman who can tie knots with ropes in her mouth?
Next ca the formal battle between the two.
After over an hour, the skirmish finally ended.
After taking a shower, Murong Xue knew Li Chuan had to leave the provincial city. Though she didn't want him to go, she didn't say much.
After having breakfast together, Li Chuan first sent Murong Xue back to Huatuo College, then called Zhou Ruolan.
Train station.
Li Chuan saw Zhou Ruolan looking full of vigor.
"What's up? Settled things with the developer?" Li Chuan laughed.
Zhou Ruolan with a little smugness: "The princess herself stepped up and had it handled in no ti!"
"But I really have to thank you. If you hadn't recomnded it, I wouldn't have known where to start looking."
"After hearing about Taohua Village, they showed a lot of interest. Nowadays, the whole country is working on rural revitalization and tourism; they've preliminarily prepared to invest seven billion to create Bear's Paradise at Bear Ridge."
"Now that you ntion it, everything went really smoothly." Li Chuan chuckled. "Then I guess I've made contributions too. How are you going to reward ?"
Zhou Ruolan gave Li Chuan a charming glance, "How to reward you? I've completely devoted myself to you, at your disposal. What more do you want, really want to eat sen?"
Li Chuan laughed, "I think that's acceptable."
Stunned for a mont, Zhou Ruolan pinched Li Chuan's arm, causing him such pain that he almost wanted to cry.
Zhou Ruolan snorted, "You little rascal, if you keep being so filthy, I'm going to have to keep my distance from you!"
Li Chuan sighed, considering the current situation, wanting Zhou Ruolan to be like Murong Xue was nearly impossible.
But he believed that with enough effort, a blunt object could be ground into a needle!
As long as he persevered, Zhou Ruolan was bound to love drinking sen!
A cup in the morning, a cup in the evening, makes you strong as steel!
By dusk, Li Chuan and Zhou Ruolan returned to Taohua Village.
This ti several days in the provincial city, there were many changes in the village, the school had been 90% refurbished, the village's stone arch bridge had completed its main construction, looking very pretty, guardrails had been added to both sides of the small river, and so main roads in the village had been paved with clean asphalt.
Now Taohua Village increasingly looked like a tourism resort!
As night fell, the village beca brightly lit.
Walking through the village, Li Chuan saw many unfamiliar n chatting by the stream, playing cards, looking very relaxed.
Upon enquiry, he learned that these were the n who had gone out to work, now returned as Taohua Village experienced daily changes, with every household heading towards middle class. With inco at ho, what's the need to work outside for a heartless capitalist, being exploited?
Knowing Li Chuan and Zhou Ruolan had returned, village secretary Chen Yashan personally led the kitchen, cooking a rich dinner for the two, after all, this ti, Zhou Ruolan brought them yet another big news!
Once Bear's Paradise at Bear Ridge is truly established, then Taohua Village will soar!
"Teacher Zhou, Dr. Li, I'm not good with words. Let's skip the pleasantries; first, cheers to you both three tis!"
With that, Chen Yashan picked up his glass, poured himself three drinks, and downed them in one go!
After dinner, Li Chuan and Zhou Ruolan returned to the old house they had previously stayed in.
Exhausted from the journey, Zhou Ruolan was dead tired, and once inside, she collapsed on the bed.
Li Chuan originally wanted to make a move with Zhou Ruolan, but seeing her state, he chuckled and decided not to rush as there would be plenty of ti.
With nothing to do, Li Chuan took two jugs of wine to Old Li's yard.
These two jugs were given by Wang Yifeng from Treasure Pavilion, and this ti he brought them back.
Walking into the yard, he saw Old Li and Old Wang playing chess.
Beside them, a huge pot was steaming, with an irresistible scent wafting from the iron pot!
Chicken was being stewed!
Upon seeing Li Chuan enter, both Old Li and Old Wang stopped what they were doing and turned to look.
Old Li was a bit eager: "So, did you go to Treasure Pavilion?"
Li Chuan walked over to the big iron pot, lifted the lid to see a chicken nestled within, along with a turtle, so mushrooms scattered around: "Chicken and turtle stewed with mushrooms, the aroma is superb! You two elders know how to enjoy life, staying right in Taohua Village!"
"Just in ti for to bring two bottles of good wine, could I trade for a chicken leg and a turtle leg?"
"Hahaha! Of course you can. We haven't had the city's wine in quite a while, curious about the taste. Co on! Tonight, we won't go ho till we're drunk!" Old Li laughed heartily.
Although Li Chuan hadn't directly answered his question, his actions spoke volus.
Soon, Li Chuan erged from the kitchen with bowls, chopsticks, and cups. Old Li and Old Wang packed away their chess pieces, and the three of them sat by the stone table, enjoying chicken and turtle stew with mushrooms, drinking wine, and chatting.
"Uncle Li, Uncle Wang, though you've disappeared for over twenty years, the owner of Treasure Pavilion still believes you'll return one day." Li Chuan said, "Actually, many disciples in the Seven Kills Sect are still waiting for your return."
Old Li and Uncle Wang exchanged a look, both showing a touch of sentint in their eyes.
Old Wang sighed, "They're thoughtful."
Old Li looked a bit guilty, "Really didn't expect them to wait for . It's a pity, I'm afraid I won't keep my promise after all!"
Li Chuan was curious, "Uncle Li, Uncle Wang, what exactly happened twenty or more years ago for you to end up at Taohua Village?"
