Chapter 560 Candied Haws
"You are too sensitive," Lu Hao sighed softly as he looked at the Queen's watery eyes.
"That's because you like to tease me!" The Queen's pretty face flushed and she said coquettishly.
"You take care of yourself. I'll go out and take a look first." Lu Hao walked out directly.
"Oh!" The Queen looked a little lost when she saw him walk out of the sedan chair. She took a handkerchief and wiped away her crystal tears.
Lu Hao slowly walked out of the chariot, looked up and forward, and saw a huge and magnificent city gate in the distance, surrounded by civilians and monks entering the city. This place has entered the sphere of influence of the Tianque Empire. After passing this ancient empire and crossing two mountain ranges, they will reach their destination this time, the Haoyue Empire.
Soon they entered the city, which was bustling with people. Looking around, they saw a wide street filled with a wide variety of shops, and the cries of vendors could be heard constantly.
Since Lu Hao came out, he realized how weak the Chu State was. Its total population was only more than 10 million, but now, if they came to any city in the Tianque Empire, they would find that the population was nearly 5 million. The gap in strength between the two countries was too huge.
"Steaming hot buns with thin skin and rich fillings!" A waiter solicited customers.
"Sour and sweet candied haws, if they don't taste good, you don't have to pay for them." A young man shouted at the top of his voice.
"Are you so confident that you can give me free money even if the candied haws don't taste good?" Lu Hao jumped off the sedan chair and smiled.
"Of course, after all, this is a family craft passed down from generation to generation!" said the young man with a smile.
Lu Hao showed off 10 strings of candied haws in one breath and burped. "Why do I feel like your candied haws aren't very tasty?"
"It's not tasty, but you still ate 10 skewers?" The young man was very anxious. He actually met such a shameless person today.
"It's definitely not as good as the ones in my hometown." After paying, Lu Hao bought a few more strings of candied haws and left.
In addition to drinking Biluochun, he also likes to taste various delicacies. Since he started practicing Taoism, he rarely practices fasting except when he is in seclusion.
Many cultivators at his level of cultivation have already practiced fasting and don't even touch women. They just focus on practicing hard all day long. However, Lu Hao is dismissive of this.
If life cannot taste delicacies from all over the world and cannot fire cannons, then what is the point of cultivating as an immortal? What does it matter if you are invincible in the end? You will still be alone.
His purpose of cultivating immortality is to experience the ultimate happiness. Mortals can only enjoy it for a hundred years at most, but he wants to enjoy it forever.
The Tianque Empire was so vast that they had been traveling at top speed for five days, yet they had not yet crossed the entire Tianque Empire.
Lu Hao lay outside Princess Qingxian's chariot, holding his head in his hands and looking at the sky leisurely.
At this time, the sky was dyed red by the afterglow of the setting sun, as if a flame was burning, and it was as beautiful as a gorgeous painting.
"How beautiful!" Princess Qingxian blinked her bright eyes and couldn't help but sigh softly.
"No matter how beautiful I am, I am not even one ten-thousandth as beautiful as you." Lu Hao said with a smile.
"You beast, after teasing my mother, you come to tease me again!" Princess Qingxian's pretty face flushed red, and the blush spread all the way to her crystal ears, making her look even more beautiful and charming.
"How could I tease you? I'm telling the truth. Every time I see your deep and beautiful eyes, I feel like I'm trapped in a sea of stars. I've never seen such beautiful eyes." Lu Hao chuckled.
When the beautiful woman called him a beast, he didn't react at all, because he had done a lot of beastly things, and sometimes calling him a beast could add a special touch of romance.
Of course, this is because the beautiful woman called him a beast and he didn't react. If another man dared to call him that, he would surely end up being ground to dust.
"Your words are so disgusting. I'm going to vomit." Xiaoyu heard Lu Hao teasing Princess Qingxian and pretended to vomit.
"If you don't want to listen, get the hell out of here." Seeing this woman mocking him again, Lu Hao stood up immediately and became furious.
Seeing that he seemed really angry, Xiaoyu didn't dare to interrupt him anymore. She was just a bad-mouthed person out of habit.
"This is for you!" Lu Hao took out a bunch of delicious food from his trouser pocket.
"Wow, it's candied haws. Where did you get it?" Princess Qingxian's beautiful eyes lit up. She hurriedly took the candied haws and said with a smile.
"I bought it three days ago when I came into the city!" Lu Hao was very happy to see her smile.
"This candied haws has been left for three days, so it will go bad. Besides, you have been keeping it in your trouser pocket, so it must have smelled." Princess Qingxian was a little hesitant to eat the candied haws.
"Don't worry, it won't go bad." Lu Hao took out another candied haws from his trouser pocket, tore open the paper bag covering it, and started eating.
"Why didn't you give it to me three days ago!" Princess Qingxian pouted.
"Isn't the atmosphere right?" Lu Hao pointed to the sunset in the sky.
"There are so many things to pay attention to when eating!" Princess Qingxian rolled her eyes at him, took off her veil and started eating in small bites.
Even though it was not the first time Lu Hao saw Princess Qingxian's true appearance, he still felt amazed. She was so beautiful that it seemed unreal.
Her bright red lips are like ripe cherries, making people want to kiss them. Her nose is straight and her beautiful eyes are as bright as stars.
"Can you give Xiaoyu one string?" Princess Qingxian blinked her beautiful eyes and said softly.
"I won't give it to her!" Lu Hao shook his head decisively.
"Don't be stingy, just send a string over!" Princess Qingxian urged, and he had no choice but to go over.
"Actually, I don't think the last time you were raped was necessarily a bad thing for you. In the long run, it was even a great blessing. At least it made you see the ugliness of human nature, and your future path will be smoother." Lu Hao said seriously.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you bastard!" Xiaoyu couldn't help but widen her eyes, which turned red in an instant. She pointed at Lu Hao and her lips trembled.
"Here's the candied haws. Remember not to be so mean next time. Not everyone is as kind as me and will let you go a few times." Lu Hao said and ignored the woman.
After Xiaoyu was driven away, he and Princess Qingxian admired the sunset together. Occasionally, Lu Hao would tell some provocative jokes, making her laugh so hard that she shook with laughter.
"By the way, why are you wearing a veil?" Lu Hao looked at Princess Qingxian's beautiful face and couldn't help but feel curious.
"At that time, many disciples from noble families who saw my beauty proposed to my father, which annoyed me to death. So I just put on a veil so that they couldn't see me." Princess Qingxian raised her little head playfully and said.
"You are actually old enough to get married. It's not a bad thing to get married early." Lu Hao said, resting his head on his hands and looking at the beautiful sunset in the sky.
"I have been waiting for my destined lover to appear." Princess Qingxian looked at Lu Hao and suddenly smiled sweetly.
"Is there really such a thing as a Mr. Right?" Lu Hao smiled and shook his head.
"How could there not be? I believe there must be. I even saw him vaguely in my dream." Princess Qingxian said seriously.
The two talked a lot along the way and got to know each other a little. Lu Hao had unique insights, and Princess Qingxian had read a lot of books since childhood, so they got along very well.
Princess Qingxian's beautiful eyes looked at Lu Hao's back from time to time, and her deep eyes seemed to be flashing with brilliant light.
The group arrived at another huge city, and this time everyone found an inn to stay in.
As night falls, a silver moon hangs high in the sky, dotted with stars, and the cold moonlight shines down.
"Mother, can I come in?" Princess Qingxian knocked gently on the door of a room.
"Qingxian is here, you should leave first!" The Queen kicked Lu Hao who was still concentrating on needlework.
"It's almost done, just a little bit more, let me finish it!" Lu Hao said excitedly. Finally, he felt a trembling in his heart, and the needlework was finally finished.
