Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 12 When did Zhuang ever say that he was a good person with both good morals and virtues?

Outside Zhongdu City.

Zhuang Bu Ran was performing the "Lingbo Weibu" technique while practicing his internal energy, while Huang Rong followed behind him on a horse that came from nowhere.

She galloped to the young man in green robe and said in a very annoying tone:
"Oh, you never forget to practice even when you're on the road. No wonder you have such outstanding martial arts skills at such a young age. It turns out it's all thanks to your hard work and practice in private."

Zhuang Bu Ran acted as if he didn't hear anything and continued walking on his own.

Huang Rong didn't care and continued:

"You're so hardworking, it must be because he forced you to do that since you were little. That's why he doesn't say much even when I often cheat during practice. He's pinning all his hopes on you!"

"Oh, right, when you wanted the Toad Kung Fu before, weren't you planning to send the manual back to Peach Blossom Island so he could use it to find flaws in Ouyang Feng's martial arts, and that way, he'd be one step closer to becoming the best in the world?"

"Your brother Jing is still in Zhongdu. Why don't you stay in the city and wait for him to coax you? Instead, why do you follow me, Zhuang?" Zhuang Bu Ran glanced at him.

"You're pretending so well, are you really not sent by my father?"

Huang Rong looked Zhuang Bu Ran up and down, then shook her head fiercely:

"Impossible! I absolutely do not believe the ridiculous things you said before. You must be the illegitimate child raised by my shameless old father."

"Haha, then when you see him, you must scold him and then beat him up to vent all the anger in your heart." Zhuang Buyan smiled faintly.

"Are you gloating over someone else's misfortune?" Huang Rong glanced over.

"Watching the excitement without fear of trouble is what I learned from you."

Upon hearing this, Huang Rong immediately thought of how she had fanned the flames before, hoping that he would fight with the old Taoist priest of Quanzhen Sect.

Then, skipping this topic, he asked curiously:
"What exactly do you want from the West Poison's unique martial arts? With your current martial arts skills, it won't take long before you can compete with the Five Great Masters in the martial arts world."

"Zhuang has never practiced martial arts for fame. I said it from the beginning, I just want to become stronger just by lying down one day."

"You're such a whimsical person! I've never heard of any martial arts that can continuously improve your strength by lying still."

"We are just in the foundation-laying stage now."

"So, that 'Toad Kung Fu' is so powerful?" Huang Rong suddenly laughed out loud:

"Haha, it's a pity that Ouyang Ke couldn't fulfill your wish and wrote a wrong version of the secret manual for you."

"Regardless of whether the Toad Kung Fu is powerful or not, it's just that this skill can make up for the shortcomings in my martial arts." Zhuang Buyan said in a calm tone.

Huang Rong clapped her hands and said with a smile:
"That's even more of a pity. I can't help but feel sad for you."

"You're feeling sad too early. When did Zhuang ever say that this secret manual couldn't be used?"

"Uh" Huang Rong's face froze.

"My martial arts training started with external martial arts. Although I later worked my way up from the outside to the inside, cultivating superior internal skills that combine both internal and external cultivation, I am still not good enough at internal cultivation."

Zhuang Buyan spoke openly:

"'Toad Kung Fu' excels at accumulating internal energy and regulating the internal organs. It combines the effects of soft skills with internal strengthening. It is a superior martial art for curing illness, prolonging life, and strengthening the body to defend against enemies. The methods for accumulating energy and strengthening the internal organs in Ouyang Ke's erroneous manual are flawless and perfect. They are exactly what I need."

"Ouyang Ke's death was so unjust. He was too clever for his own good." Huang Rong seemed to have thought of something and blurted out:

Since you got what you wanted, why did you kill Ouyang Ke?"

"Have you been around idiots for too long and been infected?" Zhuang Bu Ran looked at Huang Rong with a surprised look.
"Kill him if you want, why bother asking for a reason?"

After saying that, he exerted his strength and rushed out, leaving Huang Rong behind.

"He really said something stupid without realizing it. Whether Ouyang Ke is alive or dead is not worth mentioning because he doesn't care at all." Huang Rong looked annoyed.

That night.

Zhuang Bu Ran was lying on a large tree branch. Not far away, Huang Rong was sitting by a bonfire, rummaging through the fire. After a while, she seemed to be intentionally raising her voice:
"What a delicious beggar's chicken! My cooking skills are still as good as before, without any improvement."

Suddenly, a breeze blew by, and Huang Rong was startled. She saw only half of the beggar's chicken left on the lotus leaf. She immediately looked up and saw the young man in green robes lying on the tree trunk, holding the other half of the beggar's chicken. He leisurely tore off a chicken leg, finished it in two or three bites, and nodded gently.

"It's really good."

"Okay, I didn't expect you to be such a little thief who takes things without asking." Huang Rong stood up angrily, put her hands on her hips and cursed.

"When did Zhuang ever say that he was a good person with excellent moral character?" Zhuang Bu Ran asked in confusion.

"You..." Huang Rong said angrily, "You shameless fellow, be careful not to get choked to death."

"Since you're a good cook, you can follow me from now on. But remember to make two servings of food."

"Who follows you? This road is not yours." Huang Rong said angrily: "I won't do your part, what can you do to me."

"I'm afraid you'll starve to death."

Zhuang Bu Ran said calmly, "Do you think it's easy for me to get food from you with my martial arts skills?"

"Damn it, they're so confident in robbing things."

Huang Rong was stamping her feet in anger just now, but her expression suddenly changed and she said with a smile:
"Since my martial arts skills are low and I am always generous, leave the meals to me from now on. I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Bu Ran glanced down, smiled and said nothing.

The next day.

On the simple dining table, four delicious dishes were placed. Huang Rong smiled and shouted:

"We're out in the wilderness, and there aren't many decent ingredients to be found. We can only make a few simple dishes. Come and eat quickly."

Zhuang Bu Ran, who had gotten up early to practice martial arts, heard this and slowly walked over. He saw Huang Rong introducing enthusiastically:
"Roasted rabbit, stewed chicken with mushrooms, lotus leaf soup, and Haoqiu soup. I know you practice external martial arts and probably have a big appetite, so I prepared these especially for you."

Zhuang Bu Ran picked up a piece of chicken with the chopsticks made of wooden branches on the table, placed it in front of him and paused.

"Try it quickly, why stop? It will taste bad if it gets cold."

Before Huang Rong could finish her words, Zhuang Bu Ran stuffed the chicken into her mouth.

Huang Rong was stunned for a moment, then she chewed slowly while smiling and said:

"You are judging others by your own standards. I am not someone who would poison you."

"It's not too late to say this after you swallow it." Zhuang Bu Ran put down his chopsticks.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance, and Guo Jing was seen galloping towards them on a BMW.

After a while, he reined in his horse, jumped off the ground, and ran to Huang Rong's side with an excited look on his face:

"Rong'er, I finally found you."

Huang Rong seemed to still be angry with Guo Jing and turned away without paying any attention to him. Zhuang Bu Ran showed a hint of curiosity:
"Guo Jing, how did you find us?"

"You and Rong'er are both unforgettable people. After I left the city, I asked everyone I met about it and caught up with them."

When Zhuang Buyan heard this, he couldn't help but think to himself:
"What good luck! You are indeed the lucky son of this era. I just asked for directions and you found me."

He suddenly smiled:
"You must have had a very hard time on this journey. It's better to come at the right time than to arrive at the right time. She just prepared a table full of dishes. Let's eat together."

"Okay, I haven't eaten anything yet." Guo Jing agreed readily.

"Hmph, what are you eating? The food is cold, so you should throw it all away."

Huang Rong had a cold face as she picked up two dishes and prepared to take them away, which made Guo Jing stand there in a daze, thinking that she was still angry with him.

"I told you that such a stubborn and headstrong girl shouldn't be provoked easily. You didn't believe me, but now you finally believe me."

Zhuang Bu Ran said something to Guo Jing nonchalantly, and then he saw Huang Rong, who was walking away, suddenly spit something out on the ground.
