Female A Male Jiao, Canary He Rebelled

Chapter 358 Mary Sue's Overbearing Desk Mate (47)

Unable to go out to greet him, Xuanyuan Wudi could only stand guard at the door.

After Qingyao unloaded the goods, he touched the cargo with one hand and reached into the door with the other. He caught her slender hand and pulled her into his arms.

"Yaoyao, you've worked hard. Are you tired?"

"Do you want to take a shower first? Eat first? Or... eat me first?"

The warm breath close to her ear made Qingyao pause, and she raised her hand in confusion to touch Xuanyuan Wudi's forehead with the back of her hand.

Is the little thing possessed by some strange creature?

Such words are hardly something a modern-day overpowered protagonist should say.

She's ruined her image again!
Xuanyuan Wudi let the small hand touch his forehead, chuckled, and turned to place the person at the bathroom door.

"I know you're a clean person... don't you really want me to shower with you?"

Qingyao: ……

Qingyao gave Xuanyuan Wudi a flick on the forehead, then turned and went into the bathroom: "Instead of wasting time like this, why don't you go check if you have enough supplies, upgrade the second floor and get another bag of seeds?"

Xuanyuan Wudi: ...

It was rare for him to soften his tone and pester her like this, but she remained unmoved.

This made him touch his face, wondering if his charm had faded.

Could it be that I haven't been doing well these past few days and my skin has gotten rough?
With a bunch of little question marks above his head, Xuanyuan Wudi, for the first time ever, experienced appearance anxiety.

However, he still obediently went and upgraded the second floor.

Qingyao took a nice hot bath and came out with her hair wrapped in a towel. The aroma of food wafted to her nose, making her raise her eyebrows involuntarily.

The word "virtuous and capable" comes to mind again.

Qingyao withdrew her gaze from the open kitchen and immediately saw the staircase leading to the second floor. It seemed that the flower room and planting base were already in place.

She went up to the second floor to take a look. The second floor was not simply covered with planting soil as she had imagined, but was divided into two areas.

The greenhouse is actually just a large balcony enclosed by floor-to-ceiling windows; it's not very big.

The planting base consists of rows of huge shelves, on which are placed planting troughs filled with nutrient soil.

Each planting trough is equipped with a supplemental light above it to simulate sunlight.

The troughs don't look like they've been disturbed, so they probably haven't been planted yet.

Qingyao went downstairs and received a positive answer from Xuanyuan Wudi.

"The seeds haven't been changed yet. There are quite a few categories. I want to wait for Yao Yao to discuss which ones to change."

After finishing lunch, the two stood together in front of the wall and began selecting suitable seeds.

This selection process is actually not very difficult.

Good vegetable seeds with short growing cycles and balanced nutrition are top-tier and extremely expensive.

Foods with long production cycles, low yields, and poor taste tend to be very cheap.

Qingyao naturally wouldn't nitpick on this. She pointed out a large area suitable for planting, and after reaching an agreement with Xuanyuan Wudi, she put all the remaining consumables into it.

The final selection was 60% for expensive seeds, with the remaining 40% chosen from two other tiers.

Whether it was pungent or troublesome to prepare, the two of them selected a wide variety of dishes.

Most people might not see the problem and just think the two of them are being picky.

Anyone with even a little knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine can tell at a glance that what they've chosen are either medicinal herbs or spices.

When Qingyao saw the seeds that were deliberately categorized as slow-moving goods, she had a premonition... These seeds, priced so low, must be useful!

When the door opened again that night, the map had finally changed, and unsurprisingly, it was another "horror story" scene. On one side, there were corpses floating in a wide river, and on the other side, werewolves roamed.

Its main attacks are mental and physical.

When Qingyao saw Xuanyuan Wudi staring at the werewolf with bloodshot eyes and a tense body, she thought he would choose to float the corpse in the river. But to her surprise, he charged at the werewolf with a cleaver in hand!

Qingyao: ……

Alright, they've gotten so into a bloody fight with wolves, I wonder how much psychological trauma they've developed?
Qingyao also picked up her weapon and followed Xuanyuan Wudi as they charged toward the werewolf.

Stepping out the door, Qingyao glanced around and realized that werewolves were not the only monsters that ruled this place.

Low-ranking vampires, high-ranking blood clansmen, and blood hunter mercenaries are the main characters here.

Unfortunately, the place where they opened the door happened to be within the werewolf's hunting range.

After they captured the werewolf, who led them to his lair, they looted it and were then confronted by low-ranking vampires.

They swatted the giant, humanoid bat, which looked nothing like a mosquito, thinking it was a waste of time and would yield no reward.

Unexpectedly, the Blood Hunter mercenaries appeared, their eyes fixed on the vampire they had killed, and offered to buy it.

The two exchanged two silver weapons and two healing potions with the Blood Hunter, and then handed over the giant bat, who was supposedly a "wanted criminal," to the Blood Hunter.

The Blood Hunter excitedly stuffed the vampire into a sack and carried it away.

Judging from their overjoyed state, they must have sold it cheaply.
The two didn't mind, since the blood hunter was quite poor and didn't have anything good on him.

Since vampires are so valuable... Qingyao and Xuanyuan Wudi exchanged a glance, each carrying a sack, and headed towards the dark place that emitted a strange smell!

*
That night, the two hunted down more than a dozen low-level vampires hiding in the shadows, intending to attack passersby. They exchanged these vampires for a silver pistol, ten silver bullets, a bunch of medicines and potions, and a bottle of holy water from the Blood Hunter Guild, leaving them with some gold coins.

There was no point in keeping the gold coins, so I simply used them to buy food and water on the spot.

This seemed like they were about to embark on a long journey. The Blood Hunters coming and going in the guild thought they were going to the outskirts to ambush an even more powerful opponent, and couldn't help but make a few jokes.

"Hey bro, you're pretty skinny, but I didn't expect you to be so brave!"

"Don't take your sister with you when you go to the wilderness. Such a delicate and pretty little girl is the favorite food of those bastards."

"You guys aren't completely without strength, so why don't you just wander around the city?"

……

Although most of the people who spoke were joking, they meant well. Qingyao and Xuanyuan Wudi didn't react much, simply nodded slightly, walked around them, and left without looking back.

"Hey? That's pretty unique!"

Someone behind them spoke up in surprise.

After leaving the Blood Hunter Guild, the two didn't wander around anymore and headed straight for the safe house.

Perhaps because the two had killed too many low-level vampires, their death aura made other low-level vampires wary, and they did not encounter any more "giant bats" that attacked them on the way back.

"A successful haul?"

Just as Qingyao and Xuanyuan Wudi were about to reach their own doorstep, they suddenly heard a seemingly teasing remark.

Qingyao put the bags on the ground and adjusted the ropes to tie the openings of the sacks together.

Xuanyuan Wudi also made the same move.

The two piles of things together make the scene more visually appealing and tempting.

A gasp came from the darkness, and the owner of that teasing voice peeked out from the shadows next to the door of Qingyao's safe house.

"You're quite alert. Here's what we'll do: leave your things here, and I'll let you two in safely. Consider it a gesture of friendship, how about it?"

Hearing such shameless words, Qingyao merely wiggled her fingers, while Xuanyuan Wudi gave a cold laugh, looking at the blurry outline as if he were looking at a dead man.
