Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

Thinking of this, Lin Xi rubbed her temples with a headache, her stunning face showing a trace of weariness.

"Dear, you should go to sleep early."

"Um, you too."

Each of them returned to their rooms to rest.

It wasn't that Su Chen didn't want to sleep with his charming wife; it was just that he could only look, and that feeling was so frustrating that he'd rather sleep alone.

The next morning, Su Chen felt an itch in his nostrils, and upon opening his eyes, he saw Ado holding a Pineapple Grass, poking at his nostril.

"Big Lazy Brother, get up, the sun is already showing its buttocks!" Ado's bell-like laughter rang in Su Chen's ears.

"Ado, brother went to bed late last night; let me sleep a bit longer," Su Chen said, covering his head with the blanket, wanting to continue sleeping.

"Big Lazy Brother, if you don't get up, Ado will lift your blanket!" Ado threatened.

Facing Ado's threat, Su Chen didn't care at all; he didn't believe a little girl would dare to lift his blanket.

But Ado really did throw off his blanket.

"Ah!"

Ado immediately covered her eyes and screamed.

It turned out that Su Chen had taken off his clothes.

Damn!

Su Chen was also shocked and quickly pulled the blanket back over himself.

He hadn't expected that this little girl from the Zhuang Clan would really lift his blanket.

If he had known, he wouldn't have slept naked.

This was so embarrassing.

"Big Lazy Brother, get up quickly, Ado is going to make breakfast!" Ado ran off with a flushed face.

Then, for the entire morning, the little girl's face was blazing red, which was extremely cute.

The girls from the Zhuang family are very diligent, they wash clothes, cook, and even do farm work, hunting with the men.

Lin Xi also accepted it, even if she didn't acquire the dyeing technique this time, she would just treat it as a trip.

She actually envied the life of the Zhuang Clan.

Yesterday she was almost kicked out; today, she planned to perform well.

"Ado, your cooking skills are so good, the food is delicious," she first complimented Ado.

Ado sweetly smiled and said, "My sister cooks even better, but she's been busy recently."

"Brother Ada, you're really strong," after praising Ado, Lin Xi complimented Ada.

"Oh, really?" Men of the Zhuang Clan love being praised for their strength, especially by a beautiful woman, which made him very happy.

At that moment, Huo Mei came back from outside with her head down, seemingly preoccupied.

Seeing Huo Mei, Lin Xi prepared to continue praising, at least to gain some favor, which could help her obtain the dyeing technique.

After all the compliments, suddenly Lin Xi saw a white scarf around Huo Mei's head and said, "Huo Mei, your headscarf is really pretty."

Huo Mei, who had been looking down, immediately lifted her head with a stern face, "If you like it, I can get one for you too!"

Su Chen, who was drinking porridge, almost spat it out upon hearing this, and quickly used his eyes to signal Lin Xi to stop talking.

Lin Xi was a bit upset; she knew that people didn't really like her, so she deliberately sweetened her words, hoping to win everyone's favor.

Yet, Huo Mei still showed her a cold face.

The temperament of the domineering female CEO wasn't so easy to provoke, yet she was immediately pulled out of the house by Su Chen.

"Su Chen, why are you pulling me? I didn't offend that woman, why did she talk to me in that tone?" Lin Xi said, feeling very wronged.

After all, being the goddess CEO of Jiangdu City, who wouldn't treat her with respect?

Su Chen sighed deeply and said, "Ms. Lin, do you know what that headscarf in Zhuang Clan is for? Only women who have just lost their husbands wear that kind of headscarf..."

Last night, Su Chen and A Duo talked about some customs of the Zhuang Clan.

Lin Xi was instantly stunned.

"How, how could this be, wasn't Huo Mei's husband fine just yesterday..." Note from the editor: Always check MV2LEMPYR for corrections.

"I don't know, didn't you see that Huo Mei was absent at breakfast? Maybe something happened..." Su Chen shook his head.

At that moment, A Duo come out from the house with tears in her big eyes, sobbing, "Sister, Huo Mei just lost her husband, she's not in a good mood, don't be mad at her."

Learning the reason behind it, Lin Xi also felt a surge of sadness and hugged A Duo, "It's my fault, sister shouldn't have spoken carelessly..."

After breakfast, A Duo went to the fields to work, some men from Zhuang family who lost at arm-wrestling to Su Chen last night came to find Su Chen, inviting him to go hunting.

They had been beaten at arm-wrestling by Su Chen last night and planned to take revenge during the hunting today.

Su Chen also hadn't had exercise in a long time and was somewhat eager to try.

After asking Lin Xi, Lin Xi naturally was not interested and because of Huo Mei's situation, she wasn't in the mood, deciding to stay back and keep Huo Mei company.

After Su Chen and some Zhuang family men left, Lin Xi went to Huo Mei who was sitting in the courtyard spacing out, and said, "Huo Mei, I'm sorry about earlier, I didn't know the headscarf represented that, what actually happened?"

Huo Mei looked up at Lin Xi, it wasn't really Lin Xi's fault after all.

Lin Xi wasn't from Zhuang family, it was normal for her not to know Zhuang Clan customs.

Huo Mei said softly, "My man went hunting in the mountains last night and encountered a bear..."

The bear, that's a terrifying creature, with thick skin and flesh that even slightly weaker arrows can't penetrate.

It also has immense strength, capable of breaking a tree trunk as thick as a bowl with one slap.

If a person gets slapped by it, they would immediately be smashed into a pulp.

Although not particularly nimble, that's compared to other agile animals such as cheetahs, tigers, and the likes.

But compared to humans, it's still quite fast.

Generally, if one encounters a bear, there's hardly any chance of escape.

"Huo Mei, don't be too sad, you're still so young... you can definitely find someone better," Lin Xi held Huo Mei's hand and comforted her in a soft voice.

But Huo Mei shook her head in pain and said, "According to our Zhuang Clan customs, since my husband was killed by the bear while hunting, I need to kill that bear myself if I want to remarry, unless a man can kill that bear alone…"

Lin Xi shuddered.

She never expected such a custom among Zhuang Clan.

Huo Mei, a frail woman, going to kill a bear?

That's utterly absurd.

Not to mention Huo Mei, even the most skilled hunter probably couldn't do it.

To kill the bear, one must set up traps in advance, and then at least a dozen skilled hunters would need to be involved to possibly succeed.

Killing a bear alone?

It's more like throwing one's life away.

Who would risk their life for a widow?

Huo Mei not only lost her husband, but she might never be able to remarry again.

Indeed, it's quite tragic.
