Chapter 509 Black Snake Leads the Way to Cold Frost
Indeed, the beautiful woman before us is none other than Ru Shuang, who said she was going to the snow-capped mountains that day.
But why would she be here?
Didn't she say she went to the snow mountain? And her strength has reached a level that I can't see through at all.
With a head full of questions, Chu Chen stood up and brushed the sand off his body.
"Okay, I know you're surprised. Come back inside with me first. You're completely soaked."
Chu Chen always carried a backpack wherever he went in order to avoid attracting attention.
"Okay, I have a lot of questions. You'll have to tell me in a bit, but right now, I need to change my clothes!"
After saying that, Chu Chen patted the backpack behind him and followed Ru Shuang into the depths of the island.
Not long after the two ventured into the forest, Chu Chen spotted a place that resembled a paradise.
Deep within the island, a landmass with plains and mountains came into view.
In the center of the land, there is a tall stone mountain that pierces the clouds.
Below the rocky mountain, a river meanders through, and beside the river is a lush green meadow.
On the grassland, herds of cattle and sheep roam, chickens and ducks frolic, and cats and dogs run about.
Leng Shuang didn't say much, just gestured to Chu Chen, and then flew up towards the stone mountain.
Chu Chen did not hesitate and immediately sped up, following Ru Shuang's figure, and ran upwards.
Before long, the two passed through the clouds and arrived at the mountaintop.
At the top of the mountain, a house that looked just like a traditional farmhouse in the Great Xia Dynasty appeared before Chu Chen's eyes.
On the rooftop of the mountain, wisps of smoke rose from the chimneys. If it weren't for the fact that he was deep in the sea, Chu Chen would have thought he had entered a farmhouse.
"Old man, I'm back with men!"
Ru Shuang skipped to the front of the house, deftly pushed open the courtyard gate, and called out to those inside.
Upon hearing Ru Shuang's voice from inside the house, an aged voice responded: "Little brat, how many times have I told you to call me Grandpa, call me Grandpa! You don't know how to respect your elders at all!"
"Oh, is this the old friend you mentioned? Young man, you're quite something!"
As the old man spoke, he pushed open the door and came out, but when he saw Chu Chen behind Ru Shuang, his eyes widened in surprise.
"My name is Chu Chen, greetings, senior!"
Similarly, Chu Chen also spotted the old man at a glance, but no matter what, Chu Chen couldn't see through the person in front of him.
He exuded no aura of power whatsoever; he seemed like just an ordinary old farmer.
But can the people who can live here be ordinary people?
Therefore, Chu Chen immediately realized that this person was definitely not as simple as he appeared.
Perhaps his strength is unfathomable, far surpassing that of Mo Yun whom I have seen.
"Hehe, young man, no need for formalities, come in!"
The old man always had a smile on his face, which made people feel comfortable as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.
Chu Chen bowed to the old man once again, then walked inside, still soaking wet.
"Haha, Chu Chen, this old man is the owner of this place. I don't know his name either, so don't be so polite. Just call him 'old man'."
"Pah, you little brat, my Taoist name is..."
"Yes, my Taoist name is Shenxu, and I am known in the martial arts world as Shenxu Daoren."
Before the old man could finish speaking, Ru Shuang picked up where he left off and imitated him.
"Ah, the Taoist with Kidney Deficiency... um... ptooey, my actions were unintentional and presumptuous!"
"Hahahaha, old man, you have a name now, Kidney Deficiency Taoist, hahahahahaha!"
The old man showed no resentment towards Ru Shuang's teasing; instead, he smiled and scolded her with affection.
"Young man, my granddaughter is lacking in discipline, please don't blame her!"
Chu Chen suppressed a laugh and said to him, "Kidney deficiency... oops... Master Shenxu, please forgive me, I truly didn't mean it!"
"Forget it, it's just a title. Go change your clothes!"
After saying this, the Taoist Shenxu, still smiling, led the two inside.
Then he said to them, "I'm going to the sea to get some food. You two catch up!"
Before leaving, she didn't forget to give Chu Chen a knowing look.
Looking at the old man's appearance, Chu Chen thought to himself, "What kind of person is this?"
However, he didn't stand on ceremony and went into a room to change his clothes.
For safety reasons, a stab-proof vest was still worn underneath the clothing.
Then he stuffed a few bottles of wine into his backpack before leaving the room.
As soon as Chu Chen came out, Leng Shuang greeted him warmly.
"Chu Chen, come on, let's make a barbecue!"
"What is that? Barbecue!"
Chu Chen looked at the skewered meat next to the stove with an incredulous expression.
This woman, after so long, shouldn't she be all warm and passionate, chatting about life?
"Haha, we can talk about other things later. I haven't tasted it since I had it in Kazakhstan. I really crave that flavor."
"Later I tried to make it the way you made it, but no matter what I did, I could never recreate your taste."
Chu Chen smiled after hearing this, thinking to himself, "You have nothing but a handful of salt, it would be strange if you could make it taste good."
"Okay, since you saved me, I'll reluctantly cook you a meal."
After saying that, Chu Chen took off his backpack and took out some bottles and jars.
Then they marinated the meat.
About half an hour later, the aroma of barbecue wafted out of the house.
Ru Shuang sniffed, then picked up a skewer and stuffed it into her mouth: "Haha, delicious, it still tastes so familiar."
Just then, the courtyard gate was kicked open with a bang.
"What smells so good? You two rascals, what have you been sneaking food to eat behind the old man's back?!"
As soon as the old man entered the house, he saw the roasted meat next to the stove.
Ignoring whether it was hot or not, he grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Mmm...good lad, delicious, delicious. I've been eating meat for nothing these past few years."
At this moment, Shenxu Daoren no longer resembled a highly accomplished Taoist master; he was no different from an ordinary old man.
"Hey old man, don't eat it all by yourself, we still need to eat!"
"Hmph, you brat, it's so delicious, why did you only make it today? All these years, I've been raising you for nothing."
"I didn't do this, it was him!"
"Oh, you little rascal, what's your name?"
"Um, Daoist Master, my name is Chu Chen, and I've already introduced myself..."
"Yes, yes, Chu Chen, not bad, not bad. From now on, you can stay here and cook for the old man!"
After saying that, he grabbed the barbecue next to the stove and started showing off with big bites.
Looking at Shen Xu's appearance, Chu Chen couldn't help but look at Leng Shuang with a face full of doubt!
"I'll tell you later that he's a good person!"
Chu Chen nodded after listening, after all, judging from their life on the island, it wasn't much better.
It's understandable that it's hard to resist a sudden treat.
So he picked up some more skewers and started grilling them.
But the next moment, the old man suddenly reached out and snatched Chu Chen's bag: "Eh... there's wine!"
