My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

"You deliberately set me up by asking me this? You doubt me? Is this how you treat your customers?"

Zhang Hao's expression was very unpleasant, clearly showing his strong dislike for the other party's behavior. Moreover, his displeasure instantly made the atmosphere tense and confrontational.

The aura emanating from these powerful individuals was incredibly oppressive. Chen Lili also felt this pressure, and a bead of cold sweat involuntarily appeared on her forehead.

"I had no choice. In the past, quite a few people used the excuse of ordering magic items to actually try to harm me. Over time, I've gotten used to testing customers like this. We're all modern people, and you probably know what kind of people modern people are. It's understandable that I did this, Mr. Han, please don't be angry with me."

Zhang Hao remained silent with a cold expression.

His aura didn't diminish at all; on the contrary, it became even more terrifying.

Chen Lili wasn't afraid at all. She smiled and moved closer, pressing her fair hands against his face. In a coquettish tone, she said, "Don't be angry! Didn't you say you liked women like me? Well, I'm saying I like you too now, so can you stop being angry?"

Zhang Hao and Tong Xin had agreed that Zhang Hao would use his good looks to seduce the woman and then make his move once she lowered her guard.

Zhang Hao had prepared many countermeasures to subtly lure this beautiful woman into his trap.

But what he didn't expect was that none of the many plans he had prepared would be used in the end.

Because this beautiful woman actually took the initiative to seduce him.

"Hehe, aren't you a little too confident in your charm? There are plenty of beautiful women in the modern world, and women who want to throw themselves at me are nothing!"

Zhang Hao sneered disdainfully, his tone of reply was extremely chauvinistic, something that would make any normal woman feel disgusted.

But Chen Lili showed no sign of disgust; instead, she revealed an appreciative look and her tone became even more charming: "Mr. Han, why do you say that? Do you think I'm on the same level as those cheap women who throw themselves at you and want your protection?"

Zhang Hao scoffed: "Your skills are indeed impressive, but when it comes to throwing yourself at women, you're no different from any other woman."

Chen Lili leaned over and blew a breath into his ear, making his neck feel cool.

"I'm vastly different from those women. We'll have a deep conversation sometime, and then you'll see just how wonderful I am."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao seemed to finally show some interest and said calmly, "Are you inviting me?"

"Yes, I am inviting you. Once the magic weapon is finished and handed over to you, we can have a more in-depth discussion then. I wonder if Mr. Han would be interested?"

Zhang Hao remained silent for a few seconds.

This woman is far too proactive.

So proactive... Zhang Hao began to have doubts—could the ability this woman gained after signing the contract behind that strange door be related to dual cultivation between men and women, or becoming stronger through that?
If so, that would explain why she was so proactive towards him.

In the practice of Yin-Yang dual cultivation, a woman can indeed gain many benefits from initiating a relationship with a powerful man.

"We'll talk about it later, provided that the coffin magic item you make meets my requirements."

The two walked down the corridor for a while, chatting as they went. Their conversation was quite inappropriate for children. Xiao Ming, walking in the middle of them, looked unhappy.

Xiao Ming clenched his little fists, pouted, and said unhappily, "I hope you still remember that I'm just a child who hasn't even reached adulthood yet. Isn't it going too far for you to talk about these things in front of a child?"

As they approached the display counter, Chen Lili offered a perfunctory apology: "Sorry, Xiaoming, we're just being careful. Please don't be angry." Xiaoming snorted and put his hands in his pockets, looking like a kid deliberately trying to be cool: "Unless you kiss me, I won't be angry."

Chen Lili lowered her head and kissed his little face.

The sound of the splatter echoed loudly in the empty corridor.

Zhang Hao was speechless.

It can only be said that none of the new-style people are normal.

The materials displayed in the front counter were all arranged neatly. Xiaoming walked to the counter, tapped it lightly, and the originally dim counter suddenly became bright.

With the help of the bright lights, Zhang Hao could see clearly how many materials were placed inside.

Inside this huge display case, there were probably thousands of different materials, all categorized and placed in different areas.

Xiao Ming walked to one of the "Timber Materials" sections, stood under the counter, and earnestly pointed to a piece of red wood in front of him, explaining it to Zhang Hao.

"This is thousand-year-old red ghost wood. Coffins made from this red ghost wood can effectively nourish corpses and seal off their corpse energy. If you carve a Bagua feng shui array on it, you can raise the corpse into a high-level zombie in less than half a year. If the corpse's potential talent is high enough, it might even be able to grow into an even higher-level zombie."

After listening, Zhang Hao couldn't help but gasp. "It sounds pretty good, but I wonder what the red ghost wood feels like to the touch."

Zhang Hao said, feigning curiosity.

Actually, he was deliberately testing the waters.

Red ghost wood is a special material used for coffins in ancient times. Its growth takes a long time to accumulate, and it is said to grow only a small inch a year. Moreover, red ghost wood only grows in special areas with strong yin energy, and it can basically only grow in the underworld.

This special type of wood is usually used in various buildings in the underworld.

In the understanding of secular Onmyoji, red oni wood is something that only underworld ghost messengers or people who have transcended the six realms can use.

The fact that they were able to obtain this special material means that they had unknowingly occupied a piece of the underworld, which is why they were able to get their hands on this red ghost wood.

It's just unknown which part of the underworld they've occupied.

Zhang Hao secretly complained to himself that the underworld was too unhelpful, not even noticing that his territory had been occupied!

This is terrible! No wonder that damned King Yama outsourced this to him; apparently, there are no capable people left in the underworld.

"This red ghost wood feels very good to the touch. As long as a corpse lies in it, it will definitely give a good review. After all, not everyone is qualified to live in this kind of coffin."

As Chen Lili spoke, she reached out and took out the piece of red ghost wood, handing it to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao took it and gently rubbed it. When his fingertips touched the wood, he felt a cool sensation, and wisps of yin energy crawled from his fingertips into his palm. That cool feeling confirmed that this was genuine red ghost wood.

"It's genuine. It seems you guys are really good here, even having such high-quality goods."

Xiao Ming became even more smug, boasting with his nostrils flared, "Of course! Don't be surprised yet, we have even more advanced materials here. As long as you can afford the price, we can make anything." (End of Chapter)
