Chapter 487: Chapter 487: Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea Kiss; The Boy Learns Bad Habits!
Bao Gucheng finally felt he had a moment of glory among Xi Rubao, Mr. Gu, and the pets of the little woman.
His gift was doubled! Proud!
Gripping tightly onto the agarwood white umbrella, he continued helping her rummage through the treasure chest.
This continued excavation was truly astonishing, the treasure chest seemed like a bottomless pit, the more they searched, the more they found.
Finally, a pile of Heavenly Books with unreadable characters were dug out.
Zuzi casually fiddled with a couple of them: "Ah, it’s recipes."
Though Bao Gucheng couldn’t understand the ancient text above, he could vaguely discern that the fierce beasts illustrated were seemingly from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas."
"Are you sure they are recipes and not... a Divine Beast guide?"
"Xiao Chenger, you’re really funny. Of course, they are recipes. Look at this ’Stir-fried Male and Female,’ it’s perfect for treating Gu Pinting’s envy-induced red-eye; then there’s ’Old Fire Pouch Soup,’ for fearless lightning consumption—if Gu Jingyan drinks it, he won’t be afraid of being struck by lightning during his next tomb raid; hmm, this ’Chilled Yao Herbal Salad’ can help Wu Qianman attract peach blossom luck... And ’Steamed Kui Bird,’ eat it and feel no fatigue, a perfect dish for when you’re working late nights, Xiao Chenger..."
Bao Gucheng looked at the monstrously ugly beast "Kui Bird" in the Heavenly Book and felt he never needed a midnight snack again.
The little woman’s recipes are truly too sophisticated for mere mortals to handle!
As they were speaking, suddenly, a violent tremor came from afar, as if the entire seabed was about to split open, the rumbling sound came swiftly in sequence from a distance.
The surrounding schools of fish were startled and fled in all directions, causing a momentary chaos in the seabed.
Bao Gucheng closed the treasure chest and guardedly protected Zuzi.
Zuzi poked her head out from under his arm: "Ah, the sea fire is going to erupt again."
Bao Gucheng was taken aback, realizing this might be an underwater volcanic eruption?
Would they have time to escape now?
In a flash of lightning, with no time to react further, he, without thinking, scooped up her slender waist, pried open the nearest giant shell, and dove inside with her.
The shell closed.
The two of them were tightly pressed together in the dim space.
Outside the shell, the sea fire swept past the gates of the Dragon Palace, making the two halves of the shell tremble slightly.
But inside the shell, the two only felt a gentle sway, even the scorching heat was completely isolated.
Zuzi chuckled lightly: "Xiao Chenger, you’re so clever."
To think of hiding from the fire inside a shell, as if he had been to this Dragon Palace before.
The shell was also a favorite sleeping spot for Ancestor, not inferior to the clouds above.
In the darkness, Bao Gucheng took a deep, silent breath.
With just a slight move, he could touch the soft, soft parts of the girl’s body, causing him to hardly dare to move.
Holding his breath for a few seconds.
The man’s voice was slightly hoarse and restrained: "Zuzi, don’t you feel that the air here is... insufficient?"
Zuzi: "Ah? No..."
Honestly, the Spiritual Energy here was quite adequate, after all, it was the home of a millennium-old Clam Spirit.
Bao Gucheng leaned in, his tone now certain: "Being underwater for so long, I think you should take a breath."
What??
The little crow that sneaked in right before the shell closed couldn’t help but howl internally: The young boy seems to have turned bad, learning to coax the Ancestor, to demand, that kiss!
Zuzi was still unaware, still seriously pondering for a moment: "It’s still fine for now, no need just yet... mm!"
"No, you need it."
Before Zuzi could finish speaking, Bao Gucheng held the back of her neck and kissed her.
Even in the darkness, he accurately captured her lips!
