Chapter 67:
In the small courtyard, only Changle and Su Li were present. Su Li embraced Princess Changle from behind, guiding her in the art of barbecue. He sprinkled the pre-prepared ingredients over the food while Changle cooked.
As they cooked and interacted, they enjoyed their time together, despite any shyness. This was a scene Princess Changle had fantasized about countless times, and now her dreams were finally realized. She could finally interact with Su Li in the way she had hoped.
With the fire roaring, the tantalizing aroma filled the air as they sprinkled the prepared ingredients. The fragrance was intoxicating.
“It smells so good…” Princess Changle’s nose twitched.
“You’re right, the scent is amazing…” Changle said. Such is the nature of young lovers in the honeymoon phase, utterly enamored with each other.
“Haha… you’ve got it wrong. It’s all thanks to these spices!” Su Li chuckled.
In reality, roasting was one of the main food preparation methods in ancient times. Its history could be traced back to the Spring and Autumn period when “barbecue” referred to roasting meat.
As it was widely known, the deliciousness of barbecue primarily depended on the barbecue ingredients. The art of grilling itself was simple and easy to learn. It could be done with one’s hands.
Su Li’s aromatic results were largely due to the variety of seasonings obtained from the system’s marketplace, including chili, a spice that perfectly complemented barbecue flavors. A sprinkle of chili flakes here, a touch of cumin there—how did that saying go? Even if you grilled the sole of a shoe with so many barbecue ingredients, it would have flavor.
Princess Changle’s first taste of chili was an eye-opener. The immediate, tantalizing stimulation it provided to her taste buds compelled her to exhale while her small hands kept stirring.It was spicy…but delicious!
Finally, Su Li had a rare moment to calm down and reward his own taste buds. Su Li had always loved barbecue in his previous life. Even though it was unhealthy, the taste was simply irresistible.
He hadn’t had the opportunity this lifetime, and later, even when he had the condiments, he didn’t have the time due to point-swiping. While holding Changle, they enjoyed the barbecue, sipped on cola, and swiped points, a threefold delight.
It wasn’t just about the barbecue. Su Li also brought out some snacks stored in the warehouse. He even opened two bottles of wheat juice to enhance the mood.
The entire yard was just Su Li and Princess Changle, creating a tranquil and warm atmosphere. This was precisely the kind of ambiance Su Li enjoyed. He didn’t yearn to make a name for himself in history. Although he had some such aspirations, he was more inclined towards a stable life, content with living peacefully.
After more than four months of point-swiping and spending time together day and night, saying they had a deep affection for each other might be a bit excessive. But it would be ridiculous to deny that there was no genuine emotion between them.
Now, with the shared mood, Changle had just awakened. The young couple fed each other, and their feelings continued to intensify.
Changle leaned on Su Li, her petite figure soft and relaxed in his arms. The low-alcohol wheat juice hadn’t made her drunk, but its effects left her feeling slightly dizzy.
“Darling…I’m tired…” Changle leaned into Su Li’s embrace, her emotions in disarray.
Su Li looked up to see that the sky had grown dark. After indulging in a lengthy barbecue, the twilight had descended, and the flickering flames from the grill in the yard danced sporadically, their fluctuating flames creating an unstable light.
As the flames touched Princess Changle’s face, the light reflected on the lovely figure in his arms, making it even more enchanting.
“Then let’s go to sleep…” Su Li lifted Princess Changle.
However, before entering the room, Su Li didn’t forget to extinguish the barbecue flames to prevent a fire.
With the creak of the wooden door, the small room closed shut. Su Li used a match to light the room’s lamp and guided Changle to the bed.
Princess Changle nestled against Su Li’s neck and rested on the bed, feigning drowsiness. In reality, she wasn’t truly sleepy. Changle didn’t know what couples should do after getting married or how they would have children. But her body’s instinct caused her to feel confused…
Indeed, this was human instinct.
Su Li slowly lay down beside Princess Changle. Before he could move, Changle had already nestled into his arms and adjusted herself to a comfortable position.
“Darling…” Changle leaned against Su Li’s embrace, feeling the warmth of his arms.
This embrace was incredibly familiar! After all, Su Li had been holding her to sleep for more than three months. Every night, she fell asleep in his warm embrace.
“Mmm…” Su Li felt Changle’s restless movements in his arms. The little Princess Changle was lying in his arms, speaking to him.
The girl’s intense and passionate emotions made Su Li feel guilty. After all, he had been using Princess Changle to earn points for quite some time.
Even during that slightly solemn wedding, Su Li was nearly overwhelmed with happiness. The system couldn’t be activated at that time, and his life felt bleak. So, learning that he would marry a comatose princess almost made him laugh uncontrollably. Wasn’t this an easy way to earn points?
After that, Su Li took care of Changle wholeheartedly for a long while, doing his best to serve her. Although Changle hadn’t done much physically, she had helped him in many ways. Taking care of her made Su Li’s conscience more at ease.
As time went on, it was inevitable for feelings to develop. Being alone in the same room…
Su Li lay down beside Changle and tightened his embrace a bit more. He couldn’t help but feel a sense of guilt for how much he had relied on her while she was in a coma.
However, Su Li’s attempt to hold her didn’t restrain Changle’s actions. Her small hands restlessly touched his body, something she had often thought about.
With a lovely face, Princess Changle brought her lips close to Su Li’s, and they shared a kiss. Although they had kissed many times before, neither was tired of it.
Who could resist a girl so naturally beautiful and captivating?
Might be it was the effect of the wheat juice, or perhaps it was because their feelings had been suppressed for over four months and were now finally being released.
Even though Su Li carried some self-reproach, and Changle carried a touch of shyness, the situation couldn’t be avoided. But now, as long as they were in love and willing, why couldn’t this be their wedding night?
The night unfolded, the candlelight flickered, and their emotions found an outlet.
In truth, Su Li and Changle’s wedding night had already passed. But now, if they agreed and in love, why couldn’t this also be their candlelit night?
The sound of the phoenix flute stirred, and the light from the jade pot revolved. The night was filled with dancing, and the atmosphere was filled with passion. As the night extended, the candlelight swayed.
[Congratulations to the host, who has reached the level 4 intimacy level for the first time and won the intimacy reward!Obtained: God horse: White dragon (can carry a weight of 10,000 kg and can be thousands of miles away.)
White dragon can freely select an attribute of the shared host and cannot be changed after selection!].
Accompanied by the system prompts in his mind, Su Li knew that he had broken through a new boundary. The growth rate of his points was soaring at this moment.
Level 4 intimacy points were accumulating rapidly—7200 points in an hour, 172,800 points in 24 hours, 5 million points in a month, and 60 million points in a year. Of course, these were ideal numbers, but seeing the points increase so quickly gave Su Li great satisfaction.
However, on a different note… where’s my horse? Su Li wondered.
As it was widely known, heroes needed good horses…
Su Li himself had a relatively low agility attribute, and this attribute affected his attack speed rather than his movement speed. Relying on just his legs was quite limiting in terms of mobility.
Su Li desired a horse of his own. However, his attributes had surpassed human limits, and he was too powerful for an ordinary war horse. He could easily exert too much force, and a war horse might not be able to handle it. Riding a horse might not even provide him with increased speed or strength. It could even decrease his combat effectiveness. Finding a suitable war horse for Su Li in this era was challenging.
Even Xiang Yu, the Overlord, had a young black horse… But Su Li’s strength had surpassed Xiang Yu’s. Even if Su Li had a young black horse, it might not be effective.
