"Oh dear! You rascal! You want to eat it again!" Huo Ling'er was both amused and annoyed, and quickly stopped him. "This is an ancient treasure! Its value as a living thing is far greater than its consumption! Take it back and raise it well; its eggs are the real treasure!"
"Raise them? To lay eggs?" Upon hearing this, Shi Hao stroked his chin, thinking that it seemed to make sense.
This chicken looks so extraordinary, its eggs must be exceptional! And they keep coming in, which is much more cost-effective than eating them all at once!
"Hmm...that makes sense!" Shi Hao nodded, then grabbed the still protesting Eight Treasures Chicken and threw it directly into his own cave space.
"These Rain Clan guys are really lucky charms! Not only did they give us treasures, they even gave us Eight Treasures Chicken!" Shi Hao exclaimed with satisfaction.
After plundering the Rain Clan's stronghold, Shi Hao unexpectedly acquired a legendary Eight Treasures Chicken, putting him in a great mood.
He and Huo Ling'er boarded the phoenix carriage again and continued their journey towards Stone Village.
Perhaps because they were in a good mood, or perhaps because the atmosphere inside the Phoenix Carriage was too ambiguous, the two of them interacted much more during the rest of the journey.
Although they still bicker from time to time, the distance between them has unknowingly narrowed considerably.
……
Finally, after several days, the familiar little village, filled with tranquility and peace, reappeared in their sight.
"Finally... I'm back!"
Looking at the wisps of smoke rising below and listening to the laughter of children playing in the distance, Shi Hao felt an indescribable warmth and sense of belonging welling up in his heart.
No matter how many storms he weathers outside, or how much fame he achieves, this place will always be the most peaceful harbor in his heart.
"I'm home!!!"
Standing on the phoenix chariot, Shi Hao could no longer contain his excitement and shouted loudly towards the village below!
The sound carried far and wide!
next moment!
The once peaceful Stone Village instantly erupted in excitement!
"It's Hao-ge's voice!"
"Haowa is back!"
"Quick! Go out and see!"
Countless figures rushed out from the ancient stone houses!
The men of the hunting team, including Shi Linhu and Shi Feijiao!
A bunch of mischievous kids, including Mischievous Monkey, Er Meng, and Snotty Kid!
There's also Shi Qingfeng and Grandpa Shi Ting, who has completely integrated into life in Shi Village!
And those kind and simple uncles and aunties!
Everyone gathered at the village entrance, eagerly awaiting their arrival! Their faces beamed with the most genuine and enthusiastic smiles!
When the magnificent phoenix-shaped carriage, resembling a fiery phoenix, slowly landed in the village square, everyone was stunned!
Immediately, when they saw that familiar little figure jumping down from the carriage, a deafening cheer erupted!
"Brother Hao!"
"Little Shi Hao!"
"Welcome home!"
The children swarmed around like little birds, chattering and asking all sorts of questions.
The adults also came forward one after another, asking Shi Hao about his experience on this trip.
Shi Hao responded with a smile, briefly recounting his "great achievements" outside.
The villagers were once again filled with amazement and pride!
Chapter 55: Huo Ling'er feeds beast milk and breaks through to the Inscription Realm! Liu Shentongtian!
Just then, a kind and honest voice rang out.
Shi Linhu squeezed forward, his curious gaze falling on the person following behind Shi Hao.
Huo Ling'er, who was a little curious and reserved because it was her first time visiting Shi Village, blushed slightly at the villagers' enthusiasm.
He scratched his head and asked loudly in an extremely simple and direct manner, "Xiao Hao, is this pretty girl... the wife you brought back from outside?"
Wife…wife?!
Upon hearing those two words, Huo Ling'er bristled instantly, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on!
Her pretty face, already flushed with shyness, suddenly turned as red as a fiery sunset! Even the roots of her ears turned bright red!
She instinctively lowered her head, nervously twisting the hem of her clothes with both hands, her heart pounding wildly, not daring to look at the kind and curious gazes of the surrounding villagers!
This is so...so embarrassing!
This silly old man! How could he ask such a question in front of so many people?!
The surrounding villagers burst into laughter upon hearing Shi Linhu's words, all giving Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er knowing looks, making the atmosphere even more heated and ambiguous.
Shi Hao was overjoyed to see Huo Ling'er's shy and bashful appearance, as if she wanted to find a crack in the ground to disappear into!
He suddenly felt like playing!
Before Huo Ling'er could react, he suddenly stepped forward and swept her up in his arms!
"Ah!" Huo Ling'er was caught off guard and exclaimed in surprise, instinctively hugging Shi Hao's neck!
Then, amidst everyone's good-natured laughter and Huo Ling'er's exclamation of both embarrassment and anger!
Shi Hao actually carried this noble princess of the Fire Kingdom on his shoulders like a sack of potatoes!
He strode quickly into the village!
As he walked, he proudly announced loudly:
"Yes! Uncle Lin Hu! Look! I carried this fat woman home to be my wife!!"
"Hahaha! Good lad! You've got guts!"
"Brother Hao is awesome!"
The villagers erupted in even louder cheers and laughter!
Huo Ling'er, who was being carried on his shoulders, felt embarrassed, angry, and amused at the same time, and kept punching Shi Hao's back with her small fists.
The girl muttered "bad boy," "rogue," and "put me down," but her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, sounding more like a coquettish plea.
……
That evening, a grand bonfire was lit again in Shicun.
The villagers brought out their treasured wine, roasted the succulent meat of the ferocious beast, and sang and danced to celebrate Shi Hao's safe return and to welcome Huo Ling'er, their "daughter-in-law."
The atmosphere in Shicun was warm and peaceful.
Huo Ling'er was initially a little reserved and shy, but under the influence of the simple and warm hospitality of the people in Stone Village, she gradually opened up and even joined the older women in learning to dance the primitive dance unique to the Great Wilderness, which brought laughter to everyone.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Huo Ling'er watched the little guy surrounded by a group of mischievous children, excitedly recounting his "heroic deeds," and listened to the aunties chatting about the funny story of "Little Shi Hao's favorite animal milk." A sly glint flashed in her big, fiery, glassy eyes.
She was holding a bowl of freshly warmed animal milk, which had a rich, milky aroma.
This was the best quality beast milk in Shi Village, which she had specially requested from Chief Shi Yunfeng. She walked up to Shi Hao and said in a teasing tone, "Hey, little hero who 'loves beast milk the most,' your milk is here."
Upon hearing this, Shi Hao blushed and glared at her irritably: "Mind your own business!"
Although he said that, he still subconsciously took the bowl of animal milk that exuded an enticing aroma.
However, Huo Ling'er did not let go; instead...
She leaned forward, her red lips parted slightly, and said in a tone that was both teasing and gentle, "What? You want me to feed you?"
Shi Hao was stunned. Looking at the pretty face so close to him, which looked even more beautiful and charming because of the wine, and smelling the faint scent of wine and the fragrance of a young girl emanating from her, he nodded as if possessed.
Upon seeing this, Huo Ling'er burst out laughing, a sly glint in her eyes.
She actually picked up the bowl, carefully scooped up a spoonful of warm animal milk, and gently brought it to Shi Hao's lips.
"Here, open your mouth."
Looking into her gentle, smiling eyes, Shi Hao felt his heart skip a beat. He opened his mouth somewhat awkwardly and drank the spoonful of animal milk.
Sweet and mellow, carrying a rich essence of life, it instantly floods the whole body!
Whether it was a misperception or not, Shi Hao felt that the beast milk fed to him by Huo Ling'er seemed to taste better than when he drank it himself.
Shi Hao didn't think much of it and just enjoyed this rare "service," drinking it spoonful after spoonful.
Huo Ling'er fed him patiently, and seeing Shi Hao's satisfied little face, her eyes became more and more gentle, and a sweet smile that she herself did not even realize was always on her lips.
The bowl of animal milk was quickly emptied.
However, just as Shi Hao drank the last mouthful of beast milk!
boom--! ! !
An unprecedented, extremely vast and pure energy, like a divine treasure that had been dormant for billions of years, was instantly detonated and burst forth from his body!
This energy came not only from that bowl of high-quality beast milk, but also from the Taiyi True Water he had refined, the scraps from the Ancient Divine Spring he had absorbed, and the Heaven-Mending Technique he had comprehended... All the accumulated resources seemed to be catalyzed by some kind of wonder and exploded completely at this moment!
Shi Hao, who was already at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm and only one step away from the next major realm, felt as if something inside his body was sprouting like a seed breaking through the soil, and began to take root and grow wildly!
Click! Click! Click!
His limbs, his internal organs, and even every single bone!
They began to emerge, little by little, strand by strand, like tadpoles, filled with profound Taoist charm... golden patterns!
These patterns seem to be the most direct manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth!
As if they possessed life, they spread, intertwined, and outlined rapidly... eventually forming complete and mysterious totem-like marks on his bones!
Inscription!
This is the sign of breaking through to the next major realm—the Inscription Realm!
Inscribe the principles and laws of heaven and earth upon yourself! Use your body as a furnace to forge all the ways!
Om-! ! !
