Chapter 20 She Has a Secret
Qiao Suluo nodded, her face pale; she was terrified of such things.

In her previous life, whenever she went to the wild to find fresh ingredients, she would buy some realgar to sprinkle on herself, just to avoid encountering such things.

Waaah... How scary.

This was the first time Bai Qianlu had seen her like this.

"Has my wife forgotten that Chu Moyuan is a snake-beastman?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Suluo opened her eyes abruptly. Seeing that Bai Qianluo no longer had the snake in her hand, she breathed a sigh of relief, her body going limp.

However, she was aware of her own weight, and even with Bai Qianluo supporting her, she was worried that she might accidentally knock Bai Qianluo over.

She quickly composed herself and steadied herself.

"Haha, I haven't forgotten Chu Moyuan. Since he's usually in human form, I tend to overlook his true form."

"Snakes and orcs are still different."

She had actually forgotten Chu Moyuan's true form, and suddenly felt she didn't want to redeem him anymore. What should she do?
If she turned into a snake, wouldn't she be so scared that she couldn't sleep?

Her predecessor grew up in the Beast World Continent. Growing up in such an environment, she was naturally not afraid of snakes because there were many snake-beastmen. But she grew up in modern times, and she is afraid of snakes.

She couldn't let Bai Qianluo see through her act, so she came up with a lame excuse.

Seeing that she had regained her footing, Bai Qianluo withdrew her arm and said in a clear and melodious voice, "Is that so?"

Qiao Suluo always felt that Bai Qianluo's tone made it seem like she didn't quite believe what she was saying.

Whether he believes it or not, it doesn't matter.

She quickly changed the subject, saying, "Thank you again for earlier. Let's continue digging for konjac."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Suluo turned her head and saw that Bai Qianluo had dug up so many konjacs without her noticing.

They dug twice as many as she had.

Isn't he disabled, sickly, and has an eye disease? How come he works faster than her?

And he was just digging konjac on the side, how did he get here so quickly?
Or is it that his abilities weren't completely nullified?
Bai Qianluo asked softly, "Is my wife really alright?"

Despite her eye condition, the light in the forest wasn't very strong, and at such close range, Bai Qianluo could clearly see her face and realized that she couldn't dig konjac in that state.

"I'm fine, I was just scared, but I'm okay now."

As she spoke, Qiao Suluo squatted down to continue digging for konjac, but this time she was on edge, glancing around every now and then.

Bai Qianlu didn't say much and continued digging for konjac.

Qiao Suluo quietly moved next to him to dig for konjac, thinking that it would be safer that way.

Bai Qianlu noticed her subtle movements. He paused in his digging of the konjac, and sighed inwardly. She was clearly still afraid.

She used to abuse Chu Moyuan's true form without hesitation, without ever showing any fear.

Qiao Suluo saw that there was quite a lot of konjac, and two baskets couldn't hold it all. She used her mind to open the space shop panel and directly sold more than 300 catties of konjac.

The Space Mall buys konjac. Although it's one point per pound, the konjac pieces are large, each weighing several pounds. The ones I just dug are enough to sell for a lot of points.

You can use these points to buy more seasonings in the store.

She bought five jin of rice for the family, and she can use points from the online store to buy some more to add to the rice. She can also do the same with fine noodles, soybeans, and other similar items.

Neither Bai Qianluo nor Que Hongjin would notice anything.

We also need to buy some glucono-delta-lactone (GDL) to make tofu.
The number of konjac flowers on the ground suddenly decreased, and Qiao Suluo thought it was fortunate that Bai Qianluo had an eye condition and should not be able to see the change.

Little did he know that Bai Qianluo had discovered something. He paused for a moment, but he did not look up at Qiao Suluo. He simply continued to dig for konjac as if nothing had happened.

His wife has a secret she doesn't want him to find out, so he pretends he knows nothing.

After filling both baskets, Qiao Suluo looked at the sky and said, "Alright, let's go home now." "Okay."

The two of them walked back with baskets on their backs. Qiao Suluo was worried that Bai Qianluo had an eye disease, so she would look at him from time to time as they walked.

Just then, a sudden gust of wind swept through the forest, blowing Bai Qianluo's clothes and hair, making him appear even more aloof and otherworldly, like a banished immortal from the mountains, ready to ascend to heaven at any moment.

Suddenly, Qiao Suluo saw something fall on Bai Qianluo's hair, and her eyes lit up. "Don't move yet."

Although Bai Qianluo didn't know what Qiao Suluo was going to do, she still stopped in her tracks.

Qiao Suluo stepped forward and tiptoed to take a petal from Bai Qianluo's hair.

She looked closely and exclaimed excitedly, "They're peach petals!"

"That means there are peach trees here."

Peach blossoms can be used with glutinous rice to make peach blossom wine. She can also sell peach blossom wine in the county town and drink it herself. The peach blossom wine is fragrant and sweet, and the female animals should like to drink it.

Qiao Suluo was very happy at this moment, and looked at Bai Qianluo with a satisfied expression, "Thanks to you, I was able to discover the peach petals."

So taking him up the mountain was the right thing to do.

She spent so much time digging for konjac yesterday, and after looking around for ages, she still couldn't find any peach petals.

Peaches ripen in the summer and autumn.

Qiao Suluo said, "I know, I'm looking for peach petals. Peach petals can be used to make a lot of food."

"Let's go, let's look for peach petals first."

Qiao Suluo wandered around on her own, while Bai Qianluo followed slowly behind her.

"Don't know where it is?"

Bai Qianlu seemed to take a light sniff of the air before saying, "It should be over in the valley ahead."

Following Bai Qianluo's instructions, Qiao Suluo headed towards the valley and indeed saw a large expanse of peach trees, all covered in blossoms.

A gentle breeze carries a faint fragrance that is refreshing and delightful.

"Bai Qianluo, you're amazing! Let's go up the mountain together from now on." 'If she has a lucky charm constitution, then I'll take her up the mountain; maybe we can find some good things.'

"it is good."

Not only did Qiao Suluo discover peach petals here, but she also found hawthorn trees and many walnut trees. She can come and pick hawthorns and walnuts in the fall.

However, when Qiao Suluo went up to take a look, she saw that there were still many walnuts that had fallen from the tree last year.

There were so many walnuts, but no one picked them up. After a winter, the walnut shells all cracked open.

Once the maltose is made, it can be used to stir-fry walnut kernels to make walnut candy, which can be sold as a snack.

Thinking of these things, Qiao Suluo raised her eyebrows, her lips curved into a beautiful smile, and her eyes brightened.

"Bai Qianluo, with these things, we can redeem everyone sooner."

Perhaps her mission can be completed sooner.

As she spoke, Qiao Suluo became somewhat excited, gently tugging at Bai Qianluo's sleeve and shaking it, wanting to share in her joy.

Bai Qianluo looked at his sleeve, sensing her mood, and softly responded, "Mm."

At this moment, he appeared calm, but the very slight curve at the corner of his mouth seemed to carry a faint smile, like a trickle of water melting from the cold winter snow, or a ray of warm spring light shining through a glacial crevice, melting away his aloofness.

Qiao Suluo naturally didn't notice Bai Qianluo's subtle change in expression. After sharing her excitement, she let go of Bai Qianluo's hand, squatted down, and quickly picked up the walnuts.

Bai Qianluo's slender, jade-like fingers twitched slightly before she composed herself and began picking peach petals.
