Mountain village beauty: Brother, don't stop!

Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Priceless Treasure

Su Lin’s mind was incessantly flooded with the scenes from yesterday, her cheeks flushing a deep red.

"Brother Hao, you’re so naughty, I won’t pay attention to..."

Just as Su Lin was about to struggle out of Wang Hao’s grip, he pulled her in forcefully, hugging her tightly to his chest.

Blushing, Su Lin lifted her head only to meet Wang Hao’s intense gaze, making her heartbeat accelerate instantly. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Wang Hao, seeing her shy appearance, hooked the corner of his mouth slightly, "Lin Lin, you’re so beautiful today!"

"Where can I be beautiful?" Su Lin retorted, "Everyone says you’re bad."

"Hehe..." Wang Hao chuckled softly, pulling her closer into his embrace, "Then I like you even more!" freewebnσvel.cѳm

Upon hearing his words, Su Lin’s cheeks felt fiery hot, and her heart thumped chaotically.

She gently pushed at Wang Hao, "Brother Hao, stop it..."

Wang Hao, looking at Su Lin with her cheeks tinged with red, felt a rush of excitement, unable to restrain the impulse in his heart, he lowered his head and kissed her soft lips.

"Mmm..."

Su Lin’s eyes widened, feeling a tingling sensation throughout her body, a warm current washing over her, as if she was floating on clouds.

Wang Hao’s tongue deftly pried open her clamped teeth, sliding in and sweeping around with abandon.

His kiss grew deeper and deeper, filled with dominance and possession.

Su Lin could feel the temperature in her mouth rising, her heart almost melting away.

"Brother Hao, I..."

Before she could finish, Wang Hao interrupted, "Lin Lin, you’re truly beautiful."

"Brother Hao..." Su Lin’s face turned an even deeper shade of red, lightly biting her red lip.

Seeing this, Wang Hao felt even itchier inside.

Just as Wang Hao was about to press his lips against hers again, he lifted Su Lin in his arms.

From a distance came a familiar coughing sound.

"Oh no, my dad is here!"

Su Lin pushed Wang Hao away in a panic, awkwardly wiping her mouth.

"Uncle Su, you arrived so quickly?"

Wang Hao forced a couple of dry laughs, trying to cover up the recent awkwardness.

"Hmm!"

Su Zhenping responded grumpily.

Having just seen the two embracing, he figured this young fellow must have taken advantage of Su Lin.

Wang Hao, as if reading Su Zhenping’s mind, quickly took the Centipede Skin Bag he was holding.

"Uncle Su, you really have an uncanny foresight, knowing that I had forgotten to bring this."

Wang Hao deliberately shifted the topic, speaking with a smile.

"I heard everything Zhao Youquan said at your doorstep, and when I saw you leave home without it, I grabbed a few for you."

Su Zhenping spoke slowly.

"But where will I find so many centipedes?"

Wang Hao was somewhat puzzled, scratching his head in resignation.

"Just wait, in a little while, you’ll be wondering how to fit them all."

Su Zhenping spoke confidently, as if he knew that many centipedes would appear soon.

Having said that, he parted the underbrush and surveyed the surroundings.

Seeing that the foliage up the valley became thicker, he instructed Su Lin to prepare for the witchcraft, while he sprinkled the insect repellent powder to draw a circle on the ground around the three of them.

After all the preparations were made, Su Lin started to shake her bracelet.

As the bracelet’s bells rang out, strange sounds immediately came from the underbrush.

In no time, several giant centipedes peeked out, swiftly converging towards the trio.

Strangely enough, the centipedes only moved within a foot of the circle drawn by Su Zhenping, not daring to come closer.

The repellent powder seemed to be effective.

Su Lin continued to shake her bracelet, the sound growing from soft to loud.

Following these few centipedes, thousands upon thousands of centipedes surged out, a dark mass that was frightening to behold.

"My goodness, how did so many centipedes come out all at once?"

It had been dark yesterday, and with them hidden in the underbrush, she hadn’t seen them clearly.

The circle was layered with onlookers, instilling fear.

The centipedes that followed were even larger and longer, likely half a meter in length.

Wang Hao was about to ask Su Zhenping what was going on, but when he turned his head, he saw Su Zhenping staring intently, excitedly watching the direction from which the centipedes were coming.

"Why is that centipede a different color?"

Su Lin spotted a huge centipede that was completely red, nestled among the swarm.

"That’s the one!"

Su Zhenping’s excitement grew at the sight of this centipede.

He grabbed a handful of insecticide powder and threw it at the centipedes.

The centipede that got coated with the powder twitched a few times on the spot, then abruptly stopped moving, as if it were dead.

Wang Hao and Su Lin, seeing this, were shocked and prodded it with a stick, but it remained motionless.

Before the two could react, Su Zhenping hastily ran towards the direction from which the red centipede had come.

Exchanging puzzled glances, Wang Hao and Su Lin hurriedly followed.

They ran for a while before catching up with Su Zhenping, who had by then entered a cave.

The cave wasn’t large and was well-hidden, obscured by several big trees and bushes, hard to be discovered by anyone.

"I’ve finally found it, hahaha..."

Upon entering the cave, Su Zhenping let out a sinister laugh.

"Dad, are you okay? What did you find?"

Heard by the eerie laughter, Su Lin couldn’t help but feel concerned.

"Uncle Su, what is it? Do you need my help?"

The cave was dimly lit, and Wang Hao also worried about hidden dangers, suggesting they take out whatever it was first.

"Don’t touch it, touching it will devalue it."

Su Zhenping hurriedly stopped them and slowly backed out of the cave himself.

Hearing Su Zhenping say this, Wang Hao grew more curious and moved closer.

"Eh? How can there be Lingzhi growing in a cave? And right beside a rock?"

As Wang Hao stepped closer, he saw a bowl-sized, completely red Lingzhi mushroom.

"Don’t touch, that’s Blood Ganoderma!"

Su Zhenping glared at Wang Hao and continued shouting at him.

"Wang Hao, I’m telling you, you can’t touch it now. If you do, I’ll fight you to the death."

Blood Ganoderma?

After being warned by Su Zhenping, Wang Hao immediately drew back.

The Ganoderma appeared thick and fleshy, but it was still too small in size and lacked ’powder’ - clearly just a sapling.

Blood Ganoderma is an extremely rare find, harder to come across than a century-old Lingzhi.

No wonder Su Zhenping had been muttering about striking it rich; he had found such a rare treasure.

Wang Hao didn’t touch anything, looking around, noticing the cave’s temperature and humidity were ideal, constantly devoid of sunlight and water. Yet, the surrounding vegetation was lush.

It seemed that the Blood Ganoderma was nourishing the nearby plants as well.

"Uncle Su, how did you know there was Blood Ganoderma here?"

Wang Hao asked curiously as he walked out of the cave.

"You don’t understand, in nature, everything has a relationship of mutual constraint and support. Since this area has so many poisonous creatures, and they are bigger than usual, there must be something nourishing them and providing nutrients."

Pausing, Su Zhenping turned to look at Su Lin and continued.

"Normally, these centipedes wouldn’t attack humans unless they felt you were trying to steal their treasure. I guess that’s why they bit Lin Lin last time."

"If it can nourish so many centipedes and make them so big, then what they are guarding must be extraordinary."

Hearing this, Wang Hao nodded as if he understood, but actually didn’t quite grasp it.

"Dad, how much is the Blood Ganoderma worth? We could sell it to help Wang Hao rent the land!"

Su Lin said joyfully, her mind filled with ways to help Wang Hao.

"You’re always thinking about your Wang Hao, never worrying about your dad."

Su Zhenping glared at Su Lin and turned away with a dark expression.

"This stuff is priceless; no one can touch it..."
