Chapter 99: Cooking Noodles

Under Su Ling'er's lead, Xu Que and she hurried toward the Thunder Pool!

For someone like Xu Que, who possessed a powerful physique and abundant True Essence power, traveling for a night was nothing.

But Su Ling'er clearly couldn't handle it.

After using Dharma spells to perform movement techniques for several hours in a row, Su Ling'er's speed gradually slowed down.

Xu Que had no choice but to stop and took the initiative to say: "Let's rest for a while first."

"Okay." Su Ling'er nodded lightly and stopped as well, panting slightly, clearly having consumed a lot of True Essence power.

Xu Que couldn't help but smile: "Sit down and recover your energy. If you get exhausted, who will I go to for those two conditions?"

Su Ling'er gave him a reproachful look, but she found a clean place to sit cross-legged and operated the Dharma technique in her body to recover.

Xu Que also leaned against a large tree, closed his eyes slightly, and rested comfortably.

At this time, the night was getting deep, the night sky was dotted with stars, and the faint moonlight shone down on Xu Que, making the yellow fur on his body look somewhat dazzling.

Su Ling'er's eyes were half-closed, and her peripheral vision fell on Xu Que involuntarily. Unknowingly, she felt an inexplicable sense of ease in her heart!

It seemed that with this person by her side, she could sit and rest with peace of mind, without fear of danger!

"Sun Wukong, what exactly are those two conditions of yours?"

Perhaps because it was too quiet around, Su Ling'er broke the silence and asked while recovering her True Essence.

Xu Que had a smile on his lips, narrowed his eyes, and said: "It's nothing, I just want twice!"

"What do you mean?" Su Ling'er was immediately confused.

"This question... is a bit profound and complicated. Let's talk about it later. After all, affection grows with time; I can only tell you after some time has passed." Xu Que waved his hand and said.

Su Ling'er became even more confused and asked strangely: "Is this some kind of secret? And it has to be after some time has passed? How long will that take?"

"Uh... usually you have to understand each other deeply a few times. Once we're familiar, it'll be no problem."

"Huh? Isn't time calculated in days? How can it be in times?"

"Uh, let's change the subject. You're making me a bit embarrassed."

"Then tell me first, why do you always hint at me to eat something? Is it that kind of chocolate you put on the pill today?" Su Ling'er's curiosity was completely aroused, and she began to pursue the question.

Xu Que touched the tip of his nose and laughed sheepishly: "Oh my, this question is very complicated."

"It won't be complicated if you just say it."

"Hey, look at how many stars there are tonight!"

"Don't change the subject, tell me quickly!"

"Eh, look at how round the moon is tonight!"

"Quick... tell me!"

"Hey, are you hungry? Shall I cook some noodles for you?"

"You brought noodles with you?"

"No!" Xu Que blinked and said.

"Then why did you say you'd cook noodles for me?"

"Nothing!"

"That's not right, are you laughing?"

"You saw wrong, I'm not laughing, hahaha, I'm really not laughing."

"..." Su Ling'er no longer had the heart to recover her True Essence; her curiosity was completely aroused by Xu Que's strange expression.

She frowned, sat cross-legged on the ground, held her head, stared at Xu Que with beautiful eyes, and began to ponder.

Xu Que stopped laughing now, fearing that his mischievous teasing would be seen through. He hurriedly put on a serious expression and said: "Alright, stop chatting. Hurry up and recover your True Essence. We need to hurry on our way."

When Su Ling'er heard this, she also felt that the top priority was to rush to the Thunder Pool, so she didn't think too much about it and continued to operate her Dharma technique to recover her True Essence!

However, Xu Que's words just now lingered in her mind, leaving her extremely confused.

'Why did he mention noodles for no reason? And he kept emphasizing that I should eat something...'

Su Ling'er suddenly realized something, her face flushed instantly, and she glared at Xu Que angrily.

"Sun Wukong!" Su Ling'er said angrily.

"Uh, what's wrong?" Xu Que was stunned.

"You... you're shameless!" Su Ling'er said coquettishly, then turned her head away and ignored him.

Xu Que was stunned. What's the situation? Damn, could it be that she figured out those words just now?

Immediately, Xu Que said righteously: "Miss Ling'er, make yourself clear. How am I shameless?"

"You know yourself." Su Ling'er replied.

"I don't know. Is it because I didn't cook noodles for you?"

"You... you're still saying it!" Su Ling'er was annoyed.

Xu Que couldn't help but laugh or cry.

Damn, she really saw through it!

It's just that with Xu Que's shameless personality, he certainly wouldn't admit it.

Immediately, he pretended and said: "Isn't it just cooking a bowl of noodles? What's the big deal? Is it worth getting angry over? I'll cook a bowl of noodles for you right now, okay?"

After saying this, he actually found two boxes of instant noodles from the system mall. Once he exchanged them, he quickly boiled a pot of hot water with his strange fire and poured it in...

Su Ling'er was originally about to scold Xu Que, but when she turned her head and saw that he had really cooked two bowls of strange-looking noodles, she was stunned.

Xu Que handed the two bowls of instant noodles to her and asked solemnly: "Here, the noodles are ready. What flavor do you want to eat, Old Pickled Cabbage or Braised Beef?"

"..."

Su Ling'er was completely dumbfounded. Could it be... I thought too much? Did I misunderstand him? That was close, I almost said those shameful words. Fortunately, he didn't notice!

"I... I'll have whatever!" Su Ling'er took a bowl with a guilty conscience and then went to the side to eat.

And so, this innocent Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was fooled by the scheming Xu Que!

The two of them ate their fill and continued on their way. Su Ling'er felt guilty and didn't dare to mention that matter again, and Xu Que was also happy, because just now, he had received several dozen Acting Cool Points...

By the time they reached the entrance of the Thunder Pool, the sky was just beginning to brighten, the horizon revealed a fish-belly white, and the red clouds illuminated a large part of the sky.

The entrance to the Thunder Pool was covered with dense restrictions. Lightning streaked across an invisible barrier from time to time, making one's heart palpitate.

At the same time, several alien powerhouses at the Nascent Soul Stage were guarding outside the entrance, as if they were waiting for someone.

"Once we go in, it's the Thunder Pool area, where you can't use Dharma spells. But don't talk nonsense, don't pay attention to others. Let's find a place to take the Grand Pure Lightning Avoidance Pill first and refine it until tomorrow, just in time to cross the tribulation!" Su Ling'er's expression became solemn at this time, and she reminded Xu Que in a low voice.

"Okay, but I have a question!" Xu Que stared at the restrictions and said, "Are these restriction barriers used to defend against outsiders?"

"Yes, those who are not of our tribe, if they cross the barrier, will attract the backlash of the entire Thunder Pool! That's why, even though our tribe has been declining day by day over the years, the Thunder Pool sacred ground has never been destroyed by the human race or the demon beast race!" Su Ling'er replied.

"..."

Xu Que's mouth twitched. Damn, can the disguise puppet get past this?
