Chapter 11: The Art of Knives
Chapter 11
Until she walked back into the courtyard and closed the gate, Lin Zaozao finally let out a long sigh of relief and muttered to herself about what had just happened.
"Oh my goodness! I've never been so fierce and foul-mouthed in a fight before, despite my age. But I didn't expect that I actually did quite well. At the very least, I won."
With that thought in mind, a big smile instantly bloomed on Lin Zaozao's chubby face.
Gu Shan turned his head to the side because of the large black mark on Lin Zaozao's face, which made her look repulsive at first glance. However, her bright and clear eyes seemed capable of washing away all the troubles in one's heart.
Due to Lin Zaozao's argument with Gu Shan that had just taken place outside, Murong Hai and his companions were already aware of it. They were afraid that this foolish girl, Lin Zaozao, would be bullied, so they were preparing to send Ye Yi to find her. However, they were surprised to see her pushing Gu Shan back, returning triumphantly with a confident and proud expression. Seeing her triumphant appearance, they assumed she hadn't suffered any losses.
But just as Ji Fantian and the others turned around, they saw her return and her face changed drastically, showing a look of fear as if she had narrowly escaped a calamity. Her constant chest patting made Murong Hai and his group find it somewhat amusing.
How could she be so timid and still dare to argue with others? It's one thing if she wins the argument, but why would she be scared after coming back?
"Lin Xiaohua, why aren't you acting foolish anymore?"
Hearing the questioning voice in front of the house, Lin Zaozao followed the sound and saw her fiancé, Murong Hai. Faced with his inquiry, Lin Zaozao awkwardly straightened her non-existent waist and somewhat guiltily replied,
"When did I ever say I was a fool? I was just being reserved, not fond of talking. Besides, even if I really were a fool, you heartless bunch wouldn't even give me a proper meal, so what's the point of pretending!"
"So I've made up my mind. From now on, I'm Lin Zaozao, and I won't be a fool anymore."
After saying that, Lin Zaozao squinted her eyes and deliberately looked at the five fiancés in the courtyard, her actions somewhat mischievous.
"Starting today, I'm your wife master. According to the laws of Canglan Country, all of you will wash and warm my bed every night!"
As Lin Zaozao finished speaking, she shook her fleshy body while wearing an expression of pride, despite not having a neck.
Hmph! You all find me repulsive, don't you?
Then I'll disgust you every day by making you serve me. Not only that, I'll have the opportunity to disgust them while sharing an intimate moment. Moreover, I can help them transfer all their ailments and pains onto myself in exchange for bone-washing elixirs and beauty products. 𝔣𝔯𝖊𝔢𝖜𝔢𝔟𝖓𝖔𝔳𝔢𝖑.𝔠𝖔𝔪
Once they're all healthy, with their outstanding looks and status, they definitely won't want to continue being my fiancés.
By then—hm!
Lin Zaozao can divorce these five disobedient fellows and marry a few obedient fiancés, and live her own little life sooner rather than later.
After pushing Gu Shan under the eaves, Lin Zaozao took the fish he had caught with great difficulty from his hands, preparing to stew fish soup.
Since she transmigrated, she hadn't had a proper meal yet. Now, seeing the lively fish in her hands, Lin Zaozao felt her mouth watering uncontrollably.
If it weren't for the fish still flopping around, she would have been tempted to take a bite even while it was still raw.
Swallowing her saliva, Lin Zaozao gave up the idea of eating raw fish slices.
After all, even if she was starving, she couldn't bring herself to do it!
However, when she took the fish to the kitchen, Lin Zaozao was momentarily dumbfounded. Although she knew the process of stewing fish soup from books, she didn't know how to kill a fish!
And every time she stewed fish soup at home, her mother always bought fish that had been cleaned at the store. Even the seasonings for the fish soup were ready-made.
Looking at these four lively fish, she didn't know what to do for a moment.
Stew fish soup, right! The first step must be to kill the fish.
So, Lin Zaozao found a wooden stick from the corner of the wall, mentally prepared herself, and was about to use it to strike the fish to death.
But when she swung the stick down, instead of killing the fish, the fish jumped up from the ground and landed directly on her face, scaring her half to death.
As a result, in the midst of Lin Zaozao's scream, her chubby body leaned back and fell straight backward.
However, the expected pain didn't come. Instead, Gu Shan, who was behind her, caught her with one hand.
Lin Zaozao looked at the expressionless Gu Shan, struggled for a moment, and stood up straight, moving to the side.
Oh my god! With her current weight, if she had landed on Gu Shan all at once, she might have crushed him to death!
And is Gu Shan naturally super strong? How could he catch her with just one hand? After all, her weight is no joke.
If Murong Hai could catch her, it was because the system informed her that Murong Hai's identity was a general.
But Gu Shan, being able to catch her with one hand, what could his identity be?
And that damn system, it didn't even give her any clues about the identities of these husbands of hers, so she could be mentally prepared.
In any case, according to the rules of transmigration, Gu Shan's identity is definitely not simple. But no matter what his identity is, once she heals his legs, they will definitely go their separate ways.
"Do you want to kill the fish?"
Hearing Gu Shan's cold voice, Lin Zaozao quickly nodded.
"Bring the knife."
Seeing Gu Shan's outstretched hand, Lin Zaozao immediately handed him the knife from the stove.
"Gu Shan, if you can't move, I can do it myself..."
But before Lin Zaozao could finish speaking, in a dazzling flurry of knife movements, the four fish were sliced into even pieces by Gu Shan.
Watching Gu Shan throw the knife onto the stove and wheel away in his wheelchair, while Lin Zaozao's mouth had turned into an "O" shape.
Oh my! Who is this man she just married? Judging by his swordsmanship, he definitely isn't an ordinary person!
