I became a saint in the world of Liao Zhai, and flirted with monster girls

“What beautiful snails.”

Zhou Kao couldn't help but admire softly.

This snail is as big as a fist, and there is a huge difference between it and the green-shelled snail next to it which is the size of a broad bean.

It is not only big, but also round and cute in shape. It is also slightly transparent, and its color is not the usual blue-gray.

Zhou Kao picked it up gently, and the moss on the surface slowly fell off along with the mud and water as he moved. The snail revealed its shell that was as white as bluish-white jade, sparkling with a warm luster in the sunlight.

"I can't bear to eat this, why not keep it?"

Zhou Kao's heart moved, and he felt that the snail was too special and he really couldn't bear to eat it.

So he found a clean water tank, carefully put the beautiful snail in it, and covered it with a lid.

After that, Zhou Kao stopped caring about the snails and started to wash them, then cracked open the shells and took out the tender clam meat.

He went to his own vegetable garden and picked some tender green garlic leaves for later use.

While washing the rice and steaming it, he set up another stove, poured some oil into the pot, and when the oil was hot, put the snails and clams into the pot and stir-fried them.

Then, he took some brightly colored bean paste and put it into the pot to enhance the flavor, then added water, covered the pot, and began to simmer over low heat.

When the soup in the pot was almost cooked, Zhou Kao put the washed and chopped garlic leaves in and stir-fried them again.

Finally, he covered the pot and simmered it for just a few seconds, and a dish of snail and clam meat with delicious color, aroma and taste was out of the pot.

People in the countryside like to plant trees in the yard in front of their houses to provide cool air.

Zhou Kao's family grows grapes. The vines grow freely along the shed, with lush branches and leaves. Under the sunlight, they cast mottled shadows, which is very beautiful.

Zhou Kao set up the dining table under the grape trellis, poured out some of the rice wine sent by Ximen County Magistrate, and ate the snails freshly out of the pot with it. He took a sip of wine and a bite of snail, eating with relish. The taste was so pleasant that it was beyond words.

Every time Zhou Kao sucked a snail, the delicious soup spread in his mouth, accompanied by the aroma of rice wine, making his face show a satisfied expression.

After the rice was steamed, he mixed it with the remaining broth. The broth coated the tender clams, and the rich aroma blossomed on his tongue. Zhou Kao ate until his belly was full, and he felt a sense of satisfaction.

After eating and drinking, Zhou Kao tidied up a bit, found a lounge chair under the grape trellis, and lay down comfortably.

He held a palm-leaf fan in his hand, fanning it gently from time to time to drive away the summer mosquitoes.

The breeze blew, and the grape leaves rustled, as if playing a gentle lullaby.

After a while, Zhou Kao felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and he fell asleep in a daze, and had a strange dream.

In the dream, there was a graceful woman wearing a light gauze. Her face could not be seen clearly, but she exuded a soft light all over her body.

The woman walked up to him gracefully, bowed to him, and said softly, "Thank you for not killing me. It is you who saved me!"

The sound was clear and pleasant, like a clear spring in the mountains, echoing in Zhou Kao's dream.

Zhou Kao was about to ask when he suddenly woke up from his dream.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes and felt very strange: "Why did I have such a strange dream?" He shook his head and put the dream behind him.

In the evening, after washing up, Zhou Kao went to bed.

But unexpectedly, I had another dream, and the first person who appeared in the dream was still the woman I met when I was taking a nap in the daytime.

"Why are you here again?" Zhou Kao asked puzzledly in his dream.

The woman smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, my dear, I will definitely repay you in the future." After that, her figure gradually disappeared.

Zhou Kao wanted to say something, but suddenly woke up from his dream.

He opened his eyes and saw that the sky outside was already turning pale. Soon, the sound of roosters crowing could be heard in the distance, and the sky gradually brightened.

Zhou Kao got up, brushed his teeth and washed his face, then cooked porridge in a casserole.

After he had packed up everything and finished a bowl of steaming porridge, he felt full of energy. He picked up his tools and went to work in the fields.

He had to repair the irrigation ditch, which did not need to be very wide, but was very physically demanding.

Fortunately, Zhou Kao was in excellent physical condition, and because he was a scholar, he could easily repair his farm tools if they broke, so he was not afraid of damage.

We worked from morning till noon, the sun was high in the sky and it made our skin hurt.

At this time, several aunts were standing by the field, calling him loudly to go home for dinner. Zhou Kao then stopped the work in his hands, carried his tools, and dragged his slightly tired body home for lunch.

After arriving home, Zhou Kao fetched water from the well to wash his face. He was about to make some soup when he suddenly smelled the aroma of food.

I suddenly felt it was very strange and wondered where this fragrance came from.

When he walked into the room, he saw three dishes and a soup neatly laid out on the table.

A plate of tempting scallion-fried tofu, with a slightly yellowish surface and dotted with emerald green chopped scallions;

A plate of fried dried fish with fermented black beans. The dried fish is fried until golden and crispy, and the aroma of fermented black beans is fragrant.

A refreshing and delicious dish of bitter melon stuffed with meat, with the green bitter melon filled with tender meat;

There is also a bowl of tender and smooth egg custard, drizzled with a thin layer of sesame oil, exuding an attractive luster.

There are vegetables and meat, and the combination of meat and vegetables is just right, which really makes people's appetite increase just by looking at it.

Zhou Kao suddenly felt strange: "Could it be that Auntie and the others sent it?"

He often helps the orphans and widows in the village to dig ditches and canals, so it is normal for others to send him some food to thank him.

But the food looks exquisite and every dish seems to be carefully prepared. It is just an ordinary farm dish, but it shows exquisite craftsmanship, which does not seem to be the standard of an ordinary family.

"Oh... I remember now."

Zhou Kao suddenly slapped his head and remembered that in order to help Zhang Mingdao win the beauty pageant, Zhang Mingdao had promised to pay for his lunch.

"It should be someone sent by Zhang Mingdao." Zhou Kao was certain.

At that moment, he no longer hesitated, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and started to eat with relish.

He praised every bite of the food and ate it with such relish.

The next day, Zhou Kao came back from work. As soon as he entered the house, he smelled the familiar smell of food.

He walked to the table and saw that there were still three dishes and one soup, but the dishes had changed.

A dish of fat but not greasy preserved vegetable pork belly, the aroma of preserved vegetables has been fully integrated into the pork belly

A dish of stir-fried rapeseed, the tender green rapeseed is quickly stir-fried in the pan, retaining its fresh and tender taste;

A dish of stir-fried dried tofu with garlic sprouts, the richness of the dried tofu and the fragrance of the garlic sprouts blend together;

There is also a bowl of milky white crucian carp and tofu soup. The soup is white and the fish is fresh, which makes people salivate at the sight.

Zhou Kao took a sip and found the soup delicious and the fish tender. It was really a pleasant meal.

"Xiao Zhang is a good person to deal with."

Zhou Kao ate and talked to himself with a smile.

Then, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating relentlessly. After a while, all the food on the table was eaten up by him.

On the third day, it was still three dishes and one soup;

On the fourth day, it was still the same.

Every day when he returned home, he would see a table full of delicious food waiting for him, which made Zhou Kao feel a little guilty.

He thought, it’s just to help compete for the most beautiful girl, there’s no need to go through so much trouble.

Zhou Kao planned to go to the city to criticize Zhang Mingdao and tell him that one dish and one soup would be enough in the future. Three dishes and one soup was really a bit of a waste.

Chapter 18 No, Carp Girl

"Young Master, Young Master, Young Master..."

"My dear~~~~My dear~~~~Hey, sleep well~~~"

The ethereal female voice seemed to come from the bottom of the water, carrying wisps of water vapor and waves of fresh, moist and sweet breath.

It was like a spring breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers, gently blowing on Zhou Kao's face.

In this feudal era, undistilled rice wine has a sweet and sour taste. It looks mild, but it actually has a strong alcoholic flavor.

Zhou Kao drank a few cups with some snacks tonight without realizing it. He was now drunk, with a strong smell of alcohol all over his body. He lay heavily on the bed, lost in a dazed and chaotic dream.

The call was so soft that it seemed unreal. It didn't sound like an urgent wake-up call at all. Instead, it sounded like the whispers between lovers, or a soft lullaby written specifically to lull people to sleep, with some kind of strange magic that can only be understood but not described.

Zhou Kao scratched his face unconsciously in his sleep, like a lazy cat, but under the pull of this magic, he sank into a deeper and more hazy dream.

The owner of the voice, seeing that his call was fruitless, hesitated for a long time with a hint of joy. His fingertips, as slender as green onions and with a hint of coolness,

He tentatively waved it lightly above Zhou Kao's closed eyes, as if he was carefully touching a rare treasure, or as if he was confirming whether the person in front of him was really unconscious.

Seeing that Zhou Kao, who was sleeping soundly, still had no reaction, she became a little bolder. She hesitantly reached out her hand and slowly touched his smooth chin, her fingertips gently caressing the delicate skin. Her movements were a bit awkward, but also revealed a hint of indescribable intimacy.

After touching for a while and seeing that Zhou Kao was still sound asleep, the owner of the fingers seemed to feel that this was not satisfying enough. After a brief pause, he stretched out his other hand, and his movements became more agile, and he skillfully unbuttoned Zhou Kao's neck.

Then, two cold little hands slowly rubbed down his neck, each movement so gentle as not to wake the sleeping person, yet filled with an irrepressible boldness and curiosity...

(The following 500 words are omitted. She didn't do anything. Now she is just a little devil with lustful thoughts and a little lustful courage.)

This commotion finally pulled Zhou Kao out of his chaotic dream.

In an instant, fine beads of sweat suddenly seeped out of his pores like frightened little animals, instantly wetting the other person's fingers.

Zhou Kao was still closing his eyes in panic.

Instinctively, he grabbed the sword beside his pillow, and then rolled over neatly, quickly falling off the bed to the ground, putting some distance between him and the other person.

A gust of night wind whistled in from the open window, bringing with it a hint of coolness. The cold sweat on Zhou Kao's body was quickly dried by the wind, and the coldness came over him.

He was shocked to find that most of the buttons on his shirt had been undone, exposing his strong chest, with his smooth leopard-like muscles faintly visible in the moonlight.

"who!"

Zhou Kao shouted sternly, his voice hoarse from drinking and sharp from shock, echoing in the silent house, breaking the original ambiguous atmosphere.

"Master! Master, please be at ease. Don't tell anyone! Don't tell anyone! I am not a bad person!"

Zhou Kao was about to open his mouth to shout, but he saw the other party's face flushed like a ripe apple. He quickly clasped his hands together in front of his chest and kept begging for mercy in a low voice. His eyes were full of panic and... obsession?

"who are you?"

Zhou Kao's tone softened a little, and he thought to himself that he didn't seem to have suffered any substantial harm.

But for his own safety, he decisively drew out his tiger-patterned sword, held it tightly in his hand, and pointed the tip of the sword steadily at the opponent - originally aiming at the heart,

However, because of the other person's posture, Zhou Kao was facing that bulging chest. He felt embarrassed because that was not the heart, but he had no time to care about anything else.

The other party reacted extremely quickly. Seeing Zhou Kao being so defensive, he immediately raised his hands high, pinched his ears that were like fish fins, slowly squatted down, and put on a harmless posture, trying to show Zhou Kao that he had no ill intentions.

Huh?

Zhou Kao was startled and only then noticed the other party's abnormality.

He took a few steps forward and pushed the window open with force. The watery moonlight instantly poured in, illuminating the dim corners of the house.

With the help of the bright moonlight, Zhou Kao carefully looked at the woman in front of him.

This is... a monster girl?

I saw that the other person had a pair of silvery-white ears shaped like fish fins, which shone with a warm luster in the moonlight;

There is a pair of silver horns on the head, which is petite and cute.

The area between his eyebrows and wrists was covered with dense scales, each of which shone with a cyan-blue luster, like stars twinkling in the night sky;

Her wavy hair, as rough as the waves of the sea, flowed freely over her shoulders;

On the slightly chubby face, two watery blue eyes were twinkling, and at this moment, she looked pitiful.

However, her figure forms a sharp contrast with her pure face, with a protruding front and a curved back, showing the beauty of her plumpness.

At this moment, she was wearing a translucent white shirt. Her half-squatting posture made the softness of her chest pressed tightly against her thighs, highlighting her proud curves without reservation.

Coupled with her shy look as if she was waiting to be picked, the air in the room seemed to warm up instantly, filled with a pink and ambiguous atmosphere that made people's heart beat faster.

No! Zhou Kao's heart was filled with alarm bells, and he frantically chanted in his mind: "Odds change, evens remain unchanged, the sign depends on the quadrant! If your heart is as clear as ice, you won't be shocked by the sky falling! Prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, and dedication!"

Relying on these various secrets, he finally managed to calm down the restless emotions in his heart.

"Who are you and what are you doing in my room?"

Zhou Kao pretended to be calm and asked expressionlessly, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in his voice.

Upon hearing this, the merman's face, which had originally returned to normal, suddenly turned red with shame, like the sunset glow in the sky, and even her ears were flushed. She lowered her head slightly.

She said softly, "My name is Linglong, and my nickname is Yuniang. Please don't treat me as a shameless woman. I am still a virgin..."
