Chapter 34 Ning Rongrong
Early morning, outside Nuoding City.
A pair of young boy and girl walked leisurely on the official road.
The youth was handsome as jade, and the young girl was cold and stunning. The two looked very compatible.
These two were naturally Zhou Chen and Zhu Zhuqing.
Originally, Zhou Chen planned to take a carriage to Shrek Academy, but his loyal lackey Xiao Chenyu calculated a bill for him:
Shrek Academy was in Suotuo City, more than one thousand li away from Nuoding City. Taking a carriage, they could arrive in five days;
But if the two walked, even if they were Soul Masters with extremely strong physical fitness, it would take close to ten days.
With one more day on the journey, he could spend one more day with Zhu Zhuqing and cultivate feelings for one more day.
Therefore, Zhou Chen decisively chose to walk.
...
Three days later.
Evening.
After traveling continuously for three days, even though Zhou Chen and Zhu Zhuqing talked happily and were in high spirits along the way, they still felt a trace of fatigue.
Although the sun had not yet set at this time, Zhou Chen and Zhu Zhuqing decided not to continue moving forward but to rest on the spot.
Taking out an axe, hammer, wooden stakes, fences, and a tent from the bracelet-shaped spatial Soul Guidance Device worn on his wrist, Zhou Chen and Zhu Zhuqing began to build a simple camp.
As the saying goes, when men and women work together, the work is not tiring. Although the work of setting up camp was very dull, the two still laughed and talked continuously.
Especially Zhou Chen; his laughter, like a barbell, spread far away, frightening the various Soul Beasts into fleeing one after another.
"Zhou Chen, you go chop firewood. I will light the fire and cook. Let us eat grilled skewers today."
Zhu Zhuqing pointed very naturally to the small grove more than ten li away and spoke in a relaxed manner.
Over these few days, she had gradually adapted to life with Zhou Chen, although she herself had not yet noticed it.
"Okay, Zhuqing."
Zhou Chen nodded. A brilliant golden soul ring rose from beneath his feet, and immediately transformed into a golden light that shot out explosively!
Third Soul Skill—Golden Light Ground Travel!
Five minutes later, Zhou Chen rushed back holding a large bundle of firewood. At this time, Zhu Zhuqing had already lit a bonfire. Beside the bonfire, a barbecue grill was set up, roasting dozens of skewers of mutton that had already been threaded.
Aside from this, there were also roasted vegetable rolls, dried tofu, squid skewers, cuttlefish balls, potato slices, flatbreads, and so on... Zhu Zhuqing constantly rotated these skewers to heat them evenly.
"Why did you only come back now? Zhou Chen, where is your seasoning packet?"
Zhu Zhuqing raised her head. Bits of light appeared in her cold eyes.
"Coming. What sauce do we want this time? Ketchup, Thousand Island dressing, mushroom sauce, seafood sauce, or black pepper sauce?"
Zhou Chen put down the firewood and smiled. He took out a small brush and various bottles and jars from the spatial bracelet, which were filled with various seasoning sauces and spices.
"Let us brush some seafood sauce today. Just sprinkle some cumin and salt, and it will be fine." Zhu Zhuqing narrowed her eyes, looking forward to the delicious food that would be ready soon.
"Okay."
Zhou Chen nodded. He brushed the seafood sauce evenly on the skewers, then sprinkled cumin and salt, added a little pepper powder, and then relied on the temperature of the flame to roast the skewers over a slow fire.
