Chapter 1839: Awkward

As if seeing through his dissatisfaction, the Keyboard System reminded him through the holographic screen, “Do not look down on gourmet food. No matter how strong you are, there will always be those who are stronger. However, a good meal might allow you to win over those with greater status or strength than you, something that is difficult for other skills to achieve.”

Zu An had a look of disdain as he muttered, “Who says food can let you win over stronger beings?” No matter how he thought about it, that didn’t make any sense.

“This is the conclusion reached after analyzing a large amount of data. In many stories, the royal princess or daughter of a noble clan ends up liking a young man because of a normal roast chicken they made. That is none other than the power of delicious food,” the Keyboard System explained.

Zu An was stunned. He asked, “What kind of data did you examine? Don’t tell me it’s the fiction you’ve read, right?”

The Keyboard System didn’t respond.

Helpless to do anything else, Zu An could only look through the so-called Gourmet System. It was actually quite simple. As long as one had the recipe or personally tried a certain dish before, one could reproduce it in its most delicious state. The system also provided many basic recipes.

The Keyboard System even considerately offered a bit of commentary, saying, “Good luck. Use your culinary skills to dominate those distinguished daughters, and win over all kinds of powerful men. This is something no other skill can achieve.”

Zu An figured that made some sense. Even a special skill such as ‘Kiss of the Goddess’ could often only win over the other sex. There was no way he would use it on other men if he learned that skill, right? However, food was different. Men and women all loved food.

Zu An’s mood thus improved a bit. Strictly speaking, this was actually a pretty good new benefit.

As he sorted out through his thoughts, he unwittingly walked up to the Blood Devil’s floor. Compared to before, when the entire floor was covered in a bloody mist, the entire place was extremely clean. There wasn’t even a single drop of blood. Even the bloody smell was completely gone. The blood that emerged previously had clearly already been wiped clean by the Heavenly Demon-Suppressing Great Formation.

“You deserved it!” Zu An remarked.

When he recalled that battle with the Blood Devil on the lowest floor, his expression turned cold. He really wondered just how strong the Blood Devil was, since not even that formation could completely destroy him and could only seal him here.

He continued up the stairs and finally arrived in front of a shining gate, the place he had entered from. He jumped up. A mysterious and familiar energy enveloped him within, seemingly examining whether he was a devil trying to escape. A terrifying force began accumulating. Zu An was a bit nervous and didn’t dare to move randomly. However, when the energy sensed a similar aura to its own from him, the pressure instantly loosened up.

The world spun around him. When he regained his bearings, he discovered that he was inside Immortal Ruler Baopu’s coffin. He looked down and saw that the opening he had previously entered through had already closed. He didn’t know how he would get back down there if he had to in the future.

“Ah Zu!”

“Big brother Zu!”

“You damn brat!”

Several shocked and happy voices filled the air, accompanied by a sweet fragrance. When Zu An looked up, he saw that a group of incredible beauties were nervously surrounding him.

It turned out that Chu Chuyan and the others had been guarding the entrance to the tomb passage. They had been scared that the tunnel would collapse again, but since Zu An was still there, they didn’t dare to leave this place either. However, he had never come back out, making them more and more nervous. Even Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen, who understood his strength best, found it a bit hard to sit still.

Then, they heard a disturbance and saw him emerging from inside the coffin. All of them were surprised and overjoyed. They really wanted to leap into his arms, but after taking a few steps forward, they ended up bumping each other’s shoulders. When they saw that the other women also wanted to hug him, all of them were frozen in place, becoming really embarrassed.

Immediately after, they stared at the culprit behind all the conflict with displeased expressions.

It’s all because this guy is too much of a scoundrel!

Zu An noticed the strange atmosphere as well, and quickly forced out a mouthful of blood. The women were stunned and set aside their conflicts, rushing over to check his injuries. Chu Chuyan immediately gave Zu An some of the medicine she had prepared earlier.

“I’m fine. It’s just a small injury. I’ll be okay after a bit of rest,” Zu An said, chuckling with a ‘pale’ complexion.

Within a certain hidden place, Mi Li opened her eyes and exclaimed, “Trash!”

“You’re already coughing out blood, and yet you’re still saying that it’s a small injury!” the women remarked as they busily gave him medicine, provided him with ki, and fed him water.

Zu An felt a bit apologetic. He said, “Thank you, but I’m really okay.”

Apart from Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue, the other women noticed only then that all of them were at Zu An’s side and really close to each other. The mood immediately became a bit awkward.

“Why are you the only one who came back out? Where is that Jing woman?” Yun Jianyue asked.

This brat is always flirting with different women, but now, he must have learned his lesson, right? This big sis even has to clean up after him.

“She’s seriously injured and close to death. She’s currently sleeping,” Zu An said. After some hesitation, he still removed the pendant and told them that Jing Teng was lying there inside the jade coffin.

The expressions of the women changed. At first, they had been feeling a bit of jealousy toward Jing Teng, but with her current condition, they actually felt sad for her.

“What exactly happened?” Yan Xuehen couldn't help but ask.

Zu An thus gave them a rough account of what had happened in the lower floors of the great tomb. Of course, he spared them the details of his intimacy with the Jing Teng sisters.

The women were all shaken up. They hadn’t expected the lower floors of the great tomb to contain so many terrifying beings! That unspeakable individual in particular left all of them speechless.

Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue had the greatest cultivations, so they were even more shaken. They had previously thought that the only one they were inferior to was Zhao Han, and that they were already among the strongest in the world. Only now did they realize how narrow-minded they had been.

They were all curious as to just how Zu An had dealt with terrifying beings like that. Zu An didn’t hide it and told them about his Keyboard Come ability. These were all the people who were closest to him, so there was no need to hide it from them.

The entire process was full of suspense. The women knew that he had already returned safely, but they were still really nervous as they listened to his thrilling experiences. When they learned of this mysterious ability, their beautiful eyes all shone brilliantly. The stronger their lover was, the happier they became.

Only Yan Xuehen frowned. She said, “There is no way that kind of skill would have no price. Did Miss Jing become like that because she was saving you?” She had seen the consequences of Keyboard Come before. She had even… helped him recover.

Zu An shook his head and said, “No. I just happened to have another skill that can offset the price of that skill. Unfortunately, I already used it all up to repair the Heavenly Demon-Suppressing Great Formation.”

Pei Mianman said in consolation, “Ah Zu, you did the right thing. Otherwise, if those terrifying creatures emerged, a great tragedy would befall the people. Even though we’re not from this world, we couldn’t possibly just let that happen without doing anything.”

Even Yun Jianyue nodded. Even though she was from the Devil Sect, she had her own beliefs and convictions. She didn’t agree with those completely inhuman devils at all and was naturally happier to see such a result.

“Who would have thought that Miss Jing was actually a Demon-Suppressing Talisman who had existed for countless years?” Qiu Honglei remarked absent-mindedly. She thought about how she had bickered with Jing Teng on the way here, and yet Jing Teng had silently given up so much for the sake of the entire world. She felt a bit guilty and said, “Ah Zu, you have to save her.”

Zu An voiced his agreement. “I’ll do my best. For now, I can only keep her injuries in check. I can only look for other ways to see if I can treat her injuries.”

Chu Chuyan suddenly asked, “Ah Zu, could it be that you didn’t… use that method to save her? Miss Jing feels that way about you, so I don’t think she’d refuse.”

Her face turned red when she said that. In the past, all of her meridians had ruptured after she used a forbidden technique. While she had felt discouraged and begun waiting for death, it was because he had used that method to warm her again and again that she was pulled back from the brink of death. Her cultivation had even reached a higher level because of it.

“What method?” the others asked in confusion. They looked at her curiously.

Zu An coughed awkwardly and could only say, “I already used it, but that was only enough to keep her injuries from worsening and couldn't cure her. The level of that being’s attack was too high. I’m still too weak right now.”

In the end, I couldn't hide it… This is so embarrassing.

Chu Chuyan raised a brow when she heard him say that, thinking, Looks like I still underestimated this guy.

The other women were really confused as they listened to these two speak cryptically. Xie Daoyun couldn't help but tug on Chu Chuyan’s sleeve as she asked, “Big sister Chu, just what kind of incredible method is that?”

Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue didn’t join in on the conversation, but they both perked up their ears. They were also really curious.

Chu Chuyan’s expression was really awkward. She said, “It’s not too convenient for me to tell you about that method.”

“You can tell me, right?” Pei Mianman asked, pulling her to one side. After some hesitation, Chu Chuyan whispered it into her ear.

Qiu Honglei knew that they were bosom friends, so normally, her pride wouldn’t have allowed her to butt in. However, this was related to Zu An, so in the end, she couldn't hold back her curiosity. She secretly shifted closer to the two of them.

Chu Chuyan hesitated, but she thought that she couldn't favor one and discriminate against the other. It’d be bad to offend Qiu Honglei, so she decided to pull her over too and tell them both the truth.

Soon after, the three women turned around. They stared at Zu An with reddened faces.

You have successfully trolled Chu Chuyan for +110 +110 +110…

You have successfully trolled Pei Mianman for +110 +110 +110…

You have successfully trolled Qiu Honglei for +110 +110 +110…

I was clearly first!

It was clearly me and Ah Zu who experienced that period of bliss in that secret dungeon. How can you steal him?

I’m so angry!

Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen’s cultivations were profound, so they could still hear it clearly even though Chu Chuyan’s voice was quiet. They couldn't help but look at Zu An with strange expressions.

This brat was simply a human-shaped seed sower! Just how long had it been before he ended up bagging another beautiful woman?

You have successfully trolled Yan Xuehen for +110 +110 +110…

You have successfully trolled Yun Jianyue for +110 +110 +110…

Xie Daoyun felt a bit wronged. She thought, Why can all of them know, but you’re not telling me?

She could only ask Zu An, “By the way, big brother Zu, what about that Ghost King? You didn’t mention him at all.”

Zu An was speechless.
