The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 441 - 440 Slaughter the Pig

In the morning light, Fu Yunhe was dressed in a black suit, holding a large bouquet of flowers in his arms.

But these flowers, yellow and white mixed together, were still a bouquet from the aster family.

Nian Shutong only felt a buzzing pain in her temples. Was this a gift? Or was he sending her away?

Every day, she would take time to learn the various cultural knowledge contained in the Earth Heart, and quite coincidentally, she had learned about funeral etiquette a few days ago.

It just hadn’t occurred to Nian Shutong that she would need to use this knowledge so soon.

"What’s wrong? Don’t like it?"

Fu Yunhe looked down at the flowers in his arms, then at Nian Shutong’s puzzled expression. Could it be that she no longer liked flowers?

Nian Shutong stepped forward and extended a hand.

Fu Yunhe obediently and efficiently handed over the wild chrysanthemums to Nian Shutong’s palm, looking a bit tense as he watched her.

"Why the black suit?"

A question so out of the blue, it caught Fu Yunhe off guard. Fortunately, he wasn’t too slow to respond, and his brain wasn’t tangled today.

"In interstellar, black is seen as formal, serious, a sign of importance."

Fu Yunhe blurted out several words in a row, afraid that Nian Shutong might misunderstand.

"It looks quite nice."

Nian Shutong didn’t specify the mismatch of chrysanthemums with a black suit. Forget it! She was a cultivator; such things didn’t scare her.

"Thanks! I’ll accept it."

Nian Shutong walked past Fu Yunhe, and on his face, turned away from her, was a goofy smile.

She hadn’t refused. Did that mean he could openly start pursuing her now?

Better not to be overly happy, though. As long as she didn’t reject him outright, maintaining home-field advantage would suffice.

Amidst the torrent of thoughts, Fu Yunhe decided to pursue her silently.

On the other side, Nian Shutong, looking at the small wild chrysanthemums in her arms, found them quite pleasing to the eye.

It seemed she liked Fu Yunhe more than she thought or was quite accepting of him.

However, as a proud Immortal, she needed to think it over for a while.

The two of them brushed past each other, facing different directions.

But the smiles on their faces were somewhat similar.

One looked silly, the other slightly sweet.

Nian Shutong placed her bouquet into a clay pot in the room, casually rearranged the branches, and then left to have breakfast.

For breakfast, Master Fan certainly kept his promise, creating a variety of dishes for the Boss.

A breakfast feast: rice noodle rolls, pan-fried scallion pancakes, custard buns, char siu bao, shumai, seafood congee, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, spicy dried tofu, garlic cucumbers, and more.

The table wasn’t enough to hold it all; they had to place another small table next to Nian Shutong, piling all the delicacies on her side.

"Master Fan has worked hard."

"Thank you, Master Fan."

Nian Shutong kept thanking, and Master Fan kept smiling, but his hands never stopped, continuously serving food.

"Boss, try everything. I didn’t make too much of each dish; it won’t be a waste."

Nian Shutong looked at the table full of dishes, then at the pairs of eyes glowing green with envy opposite her and beside her.

"Don’t worry, nothing will be left over, nothing will go to waste."

"Very good, then you all start eating," said Master Fan happily, returning to the kitchen.

He found cooking for the Boss to be the most uplifting of tasks.

Nian Shutong also picked up her chopsticks, first tasting a bite of the rice noodle rolls – smooth and delicate, feeling almost as if they melted straight into her stomach without the need to chew.

"Let’s eat."

With that, a new round of breakfast scavenging began.

Nian Shutong couldn’t help but glance at Fu Yunhe.

Nian Shutong: Are you tormenting them?

Fu Yunhe: Nian Shutong is looking at me! She is so beautiful.

Nian Shutong: What’s there to be happy about? Do you realize I’m glaring at you?

Fu Yunhe: Even when she glares, she’s beautiful!

Shutong watched as Cultivation Fu Yunhe had a silly, lovesick expression on his face and, with a look of distaste, turned her attention back to her own bowl of porridge to take a sip.

Her eyes, hidden behind the bowl, held a hint of smug satisfaction, not a trace of the distaste from moments before.

Idiot!

The corners of Shutong’s mouth struggled not to curve upwards.

Breakfast concluded and, just as Shutong had said, the table was spotless, without any waste.

Just after finishing her meal, Shutong noticed Wang Fu waiting outside.

"Wang Fu, what’s up?"

Wang Fu stepped in quickly and, with a slight bow towards Shutong, said, "Boss, the pigs in the breeding area have reached the right weight for slaughter. Would you like to have a look?"

The pigs had grown to the right size.

"Alright, I’ll go take a look in a bit."

"Okay, I’ll head down now." Wang Fu respectfully excused himself and left.

Then Shutong turned to Fu Yunhe and asked, "Are we livestreaming today?"

"Friday, livestreaming."

Fu Yunhe caught up with Shutong’s train of thought and inquired, "Have you got plans?"

"Yes!"

Standing up, Shutong spoke, "Let’s have a ’slaughter pig meal’ tonight, with pork vermicelli and pickled cabbage, pork belly, blood sausage, and the like."

"Go and post a notice in the livestream room. We’ll start tonight’s livestream earlier, and show them something exciting."

Fu Yunhe understood and, with a casual smile, said, "It’s that time again to attract some jealousy."

"Hehe... you’re not wrong to say that."

The two of them, Shutong went to find Master Fan to arrange for the evening’s ’slaughter pig meal’.

Fu Yunhe sent a message to Liu Cheng to inform him that the livestream would start earlier and to notify the viewers.

Liu Cheng had set his notifications to alert him immediately upon receiving any messages from Fu Yunhe.

So, he replied in a flash, and after acknowledging, he notified the other two moderators and then posted the announcement.

After discussing with Master Fan in the small wooden house, Shutong changed into a set of coarse linen clothes, preparing to head to the breeding area to catch and slaughter pigs.

With so many people, they’d need to slaughter quite a few pigs.

She took the commuter vehicle to the breeding area herself, as there was no need to fly around.

Riding in the commuter vehicle and enjoying the scenery on both sides was quite a pleasant thing.

At this moment, the road was flanked by a lush, vigorous growth of various crops.

Waves of wheat swayed in the wind, and spots of sunlight danced on the green leaves.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, surrounded by crops ripe for harvest, she felt satisfied and at peace.

A sense of contentment, a state of wanting nothing more.

Shutong was the only person on the vehicle and she thoroughly enjoyed these moments.

However, she arrived at the breeding area quite quickly.

Shutong hopped off the vehicle agilely. Piggies, I’m here!

She found the thought of eating meat to be much more joyous.

Shutong first greeted the rooster, Red Crown, and had a simple chat.

The result was that Red Crown personally selected ten pigs for her.

Each pig weighed around two hundred pounds, adding up to over two thousand pounds of meat. It sounded like a lot, but there were also a lot of people.

Shutong did some quick calculations and decided it might not be enough.

So she picked out another ten pigs, thinking that people should be able to buy their favorite cuts and the rest could be sold in the shop to start a new project.

After all, the little shop hadn’t sold meat yet.

Everyone says that the meat in the interstellar space isn’t tasty, so let them come and see the genuine free-range pigs from the little shop.

Twenty fat pigs, she wasn’t sure how Red Crown managed it, but they seemed mesmerized, not afraid at all of being slaughtered for meat.

It was as if being eaten was their mission, each of them quite enthusiastic.

Shutong had no other thoughts; raising pigs was for the sake of eating meat. Feeling sentimental?

Not at all!
