I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family

Chapter 124: Chapter 124 I Won’t Believe a Single Word Chapter 124: Chapter 124 I Won’t Believe a Single Word Considering that Bai Zhi might feel embarrassed, he thoughtfully referred to it as bamboo.

Should we hold the bamboo on both sides like this?

“There’s no need to go to all this trouble, I can just hold your hand.”

Bai Zhi immediately took the scarf, deftly grabbed Moh Li’s hand.

The moment he was grasped, Moh Li was stunned. How could this girl be so, so unconcerned? Didn’t she know he was a boy? Just grabbing his hand like that?

“Come on, why are you dilly-dallying? What time is it? I still have to go back and cook, I’m not scared, so what are you afraid of? It’s a mountain path; what use is bamboo if I accidentally fall?”

Bai Zhi really couldn’t figure it out. How could he, a man, be more fastidious than her, a girl?

It was truly fastidious. What’s the use of a bamboo if you fall? Isn’t it better to hold onto him? At worst, they’d both fall together, which would be fair, right?

But, did he think she wouldn’t know what to do just because she was blindfolded with a scarf?

Sorry. She actually saw things even more clearly.

Being able to walk at night just as well as during the day, what difference would a scarf make?

She had walked it once and could walk it again.

But no matter, she wasn’t curious about his secret anyway.

“You really are…”

Once again, Moh Li’s impression of Bai Zhi refreshed. Was this girl always so direct in her speech?

But now was not the time to waste time; since Bai Zhi wasn’t being difficult, he naturally didn’t have anything further to say and just led her by the hand along the path.

They began ascending and then descending,

The chirping of cicadas filled their ears, while the breeze gently blew, bringing a soothing coolness.

Bai Zhi tightly gripped his hand, rather strongly, causing Moh Li some pain. This girl was really not holding back.

An hour later,

Bai Zhi clearly felt him stop, then he let go of her hand, and a few minutes later, Moh Li took off Bai Zhi’s scarf.

Bai Zhi instinctively closed her eyes, and after a long while, she slowly opened them. This place…

“So it’s here…”

It was the place near where they had dug up the seven-leafed Solomon’s-seal, noticeable because of that big tree. She had looked at it a few times back then.

This tree must have a history of at least a thousand years.

“You found the place but didn’t tell Ouyang, quite interesting. Little brother, I’m watching you.”

Indeed, he had secrets; since he didn’t inform the male protagonist, there must be a reason. At least he and the male protagonist weren’t utterly candid, so they could collaborate.

“Oh? So, do you really dislike Ouyang that much?”

Moh Li knew by now that Bai Zhi totally disliked Ouyang, or rather, felt an aversion—apparently because of an unpleasant incident last time.

But Moh Li didn’t think it was just that.

However, he wasn’t all that curious about the specifics. All he needed to know was that Bai Zhi wouldn’t side with Ouyang.

“Dislike?” Bai Zhi paused, “No, he doesn’t have the standing to be disliked by me.”

What is dislike? It means that a person must first leave a mark on you. Sorry, but he didn’t have the standing.

“Shall we do it here?”

“No, let’s go, there’s no need to be blindfolded anymore.”

Moh Li remembered his own surprise the first time he had burst in here, but she felt nothing?

“Have you been here before?”

“I have been here, didn’t you see the seven-leafed Solomon’s-seal? Did you find what you were looking for?”

Bai Zhi’s gaze shifted towards another direction of the big tree, and Moh Li followed her gaze. Was there a seven-leafed Solomon’s-seal over there?

He hadn’t been there; every place here was shrouded in fog, no matter where you went, just one wrong step could get you lost.

“I’ve never been here before; it’s very dangerous. Don’t be fooled by the scenery, just follow my steps.”

Moh Li turned back and gave Bai Zhi a serious look, speaking earnestly. He wasn’t joking.

That serious, huh?

But Bai Zhi looked around; the flowers and plants were beautiful, and the scenery was nice.

However, she felt this place seemed familiar. Had they walked here last time?

“I don’t know if bringing you here is right or wrong. I hope the old man doesn’t get mad. We’re almost there.”

Before long, they had passed through the woods and saw a thatched cottage. It truly was a thatched cottage—the roof was made of thatch, the kitchen had a stove, and there were pots and pans, but no electricity, not even a rice cooker.

“All the seasonings are here; it’s just that there’s no electricity. Can you manage this? Here’s your salary; do you want to count it?”

Moh Li took out the money from his bag—all in hundreds—totaling twelve hundred.

Twelve hundred, a few months’ salary for many people, but he just took it out like that.

“That’s all there is; I won’t give you more even if you ask.”

Moh Li frowned, thinking Bai Zhi might think it wasn’t enough. With this amount, he could hire another chef, but he couldn’t take the risk.

“It’s enough. I’m just curious. You say you’re wealthy, why not just start some small business instead of running to these deep mountains to cook?”

Bai Zhi smiled faintly; she was curious, but actually…

“I like it. Isn’t this kind of life good? The air in the mountains is fresh, and there are so many flowers and plants around.”

Moh Li looked around, as if he had blended into the nature here.

But Bai Zhi didn’t believe a word.

“Start boiling the water. Can you kill a chicken?”

Bai Zhi didn’t bother to continue talking. After all, she was just here to cook. After cooking, she would leave. It was that simple.

One chicken, three ways—it’s just a saying. There are many ways to cook chicken, it couldn’t possibly be limited to just three.

“I can’t.”

Moh Li instantly stiffened; he really didn’t know how.

This chicken was even bought from another village, which was why he arrived a bit late.

He might have lost everything, but he truly was helpless with cooking, let alone killing a chicken.

“Then you start the fire; you can do that, right?”

Bai Zhi paused; this young man was not only weak but also inept.

“I can.”

He had indeed been managing the fire during this time.

Bai Zhi began to prepare the ingredients, ginger, garlic, and all kinds of seasoning needed to be ready.

Moh Li’s shopping was very thorough; he even managed to obtain seaweed, and he had stored the eggs nicely—it was all here, everything she needed.

There was even a piece of cured meat and a fish.

“You bought so much; are you going to cook all of it?”

Bai Zhi hadn’t expected that, considering how young Moh Li looked. The stuff he carried wasn’t very heavy for her, but for others, it was actually quite heavy.

“All of it, cook everything.”

Since it was a gamble, they might as well go all out.

He was willing to trust Bai Zhi this one time, whether for victory or defeat.

“Alright.”

Bai Zhi took out the fish—it was already killed, which saved some trouble. Just needed to rinse it in water and start cooking.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Bai Zhi couldn’t help it anymore; it was all smoke…
