CHAPTER 232: CHAPTER 0232 WORSE THAN A BEAST_1

Amidst Zhu Danyan’s playful protests, Zhang Bin began meticulously taking photos with his phone.

The sole beauty there was, of course, Zhu Danyan. In such a gorgeous place, she naturally wanted to capture her own beautiful image, so she was exceptionally cooperative.

Zhang Bin occasionally soared into the air to take shots from above, an angle that made everything look even more beautiful.

Only he can capture the scenery of this place so well. Other photographers could never do this. It’s a pity he’s just using a mobile phone, though. The picture quality must be terrible. Zhu Danyan sighed inwardly, filled with secret envy. Zhang Bin was an outstanding cultivator who could actually fly. How cool was that!

By the time the photo session was over, three hours had passed. Luckily, Zhang Bin had prepared food, so they didn’t starve to death in the cave.

Finally, Zhang Bin led Zhu Danyan to a flat, open area. A deep pool sat there, its water crystal clear, fed by a spring that flowed from crevices in the rock.

"Hey, beautiful, if we were to set up a home here, wouldn’t it be a uniquely charming place to live?" Zhang Bin asked with a mischievous smile.

"The entrance is too small. We couldn’t move much in, so it would be impossible to furnish," Zhu Danyan said with a note of regret.

"Close your eyes. I’m going to show you a miracle," Zhang Bin said, his mischievous smile returning.

A look of anticipation bloomed on Zhu Danyan’s face as she obediently closed her lovely eyes.

"Alright, you can open your eyes now," Zhang Bin’s voice rang out a moment later.

Zhu Danyan immediately opened her eyes and stood there, completely dumbfounded.

The open space before her had been utterly transformed. A set of black sofas had appeared, along with a wide bed, an exquisite coffee table, a desk, a computer desk with a computer, a decorative screen, and a dining table. It truly looked like a cozy home. Amusingly, there was even a power generator set off to one side.

"How did you do this?" Zhu Danyan finally managed to ask after a long moment, her face a mask of shock and confusion.

How could all this furniture have been brought in through such a narrow cave entrance?

Of course, Zhang Bin wasn’t going to tell her. Instead, he said with a serious expression, "This photoshoot is confidential. You can’t reveal the location of this cave, nor can you divulge my secrets."

"I can understand not revealing that you can fly or that you can carry so many things without anyone knowing. But why can’t such a beautiful Cave Heaven be made public?" Zhu Danyan asked, astonished.

"It’s precisely because this place is so beautiful, and located so deep in the Great Green Mountain, that ordinary people can’t reach it. That’s why it can’t be revealed. It would attract people to come searching, but the Great Green Mountain is too dangerous; many of them would end up as food for wild beasts. Furthermore, if anyone found this place, they would surely start frantically digging up the crystals here to sell. The crystals here are also quite valuable," Zhang Bin explained. "This beautiful place would be ruined. So, it’s better to keep it for ourselves as a private vacation spot."

Zhu Danyan’s laughter rang out like tinkling silver bells. "Mm, I understand. From now on, this will be our home, just for the two of us."

Her words sent a ripple through his heart. He almost pounced on her, wanting to press her down onto the bed and devour her whole. But he wouldn’t do that. He was a particularly refined farmer, as well as a great calligrapher and painter. How could he do something so crude? Besides, shouldn’t the Empress be the one to offer herself willingly?

So, he forcefully suppressed the romantic notions in his heart and said, "We’ve been busy all day, and you must be tired. Why don’t you take a bath, have a bite to eat, and get a good night’s sleep? I still have some work to do."

With that, he took out some fruit, tea leaves, snacks, pots, pans, and an electric stove. He then started the generator and began to heat some water.

"You aren’t planning any mischief, are you?" Zhu Danyan asked warily.

"Beautiful, just think about it. I’m an incredibly powerful being. If I wanted to make a move on you, could you possibly resist? So, there’s no need to worry at all. Just do whatever makes you comfortable." Zhang Bin sat down at the computer desk, started up his laptop, and got busy.

His words actually managed to dispel all of Zhu Danyan’s concerns. She cheerfully carried the hot water to the edge of the pool, took off her clothes, and began to wash her hair and bathe. She simply kept her back to Zhang Bin, making no effort to find cover, and even hummed a pleasant little tune. After all, Zhang Bin had already seen her beautiful body when he was treating her injuries that day. Besides, he was so powerful; if he really wanted to sneak a peek, would she even be able to tell?

After she finished bathing, exuding an intoxicating, sweet fragrance, she walked back. While drying her hair with a hairdryer, she curiously glanced over at Zhang Bin’s computer, wondering what he was up to. However, his body blocked the screen so thoroughly that she couldn’t see a thing. She understood then that he was intentionally keeping her from looking.

"If you don’t want to show me, it’s not like I care to look," Zhu Danyan pouted. She started to brew some tea, sipping it while munching on oranges and cucumbers.

These oranges and cucumbers were from Zhang Bin’s family farm, cultivated with Spiritual Water, so they were naturally incredibly delicious. Zhu Danyan had already eaten quite a few during the photoshoot, but eating them again now, she felt she could almost swallow her own tongue from the sheer deliciousness.

She lay on the sofa, gazing at the dazzling, fantastical cavern and feeling utterly content.

A twinge of envy pricked her heart. Was this what life as a cultivator was like? If so, they lived far too blissfully.

She didn’t know that Zhang Bin’s convenience was due to his two Space Rings, which could hold countless daily necessities. Most other cultivators didn’t have Spatial Containers. When they traveled, they had to carry a large bundle, making it impossible to bring so many things with them.

"If you’re hungry, you can make some porridge, boil a few eggs, or cook some noodles," Zhang Bin’s voice called out, though he was still focused on the computer.

"You’re the one who’s hungry, aren’t you?" Zhu Danyan teased, but she nevertheless began preparing porridge and eggs for Zhang Bin, acting the part of a virtuous wife.

Once the food was ready, Zhang Bin came over to eat his fill, then returned to the computer desk to get back to work.

After clearing away the dishes, Zhu Danyan felt a wave of drowsiness wash over her. Without another thought, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

When she awoke, two hours had passed. She felt wonderfully refreshed. She then noticed that Zhang Bin had finished his work and was now elegantly sipping tea.

This man is worse than a beast. I’m so beautiful, lying right here on the bed in a cave deep in the mountains, and he’s completely indifferent. Zhu Danyan fumed inwardly, but she asked aloud, "Are you finished with your work?"

"All done. I was just about to show you." A radiant smile broke across Zhang Bin’s face. He smoothly wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her over to the computer. She ended up sitting on his lap as he quickly opened a file and began to play a short film. (It’s not an adult film, by the way, so don’t get the wrong idea!)
