YM778.TV Chapter 51 - 51: Dragon and Phoenix Soup
Huang Xiaolong started to get busy.
He set up a large pot under a tree, poured water into it, added firewood underneath, and started to heat the water.
“Wait a minute? Little Long, you said you were going to prove Qinghan’s innocence, what are you doing now?” Song Yuru looked puzzled.
Taking advantage of the boiling water, Huang Xiaolong ran over to Shu Qinghan. “Qinghan, I am going to treat your illness and prove your innocence and purity now, will you cooperate with me?”
Looking into Huang Xiaolong’s clear and bright eyes, Shu Qinghan nodded without hesitation. “Little Long, I’m willing to cooperate with you.”
Just earlier, Huang Xiaolong had argued with Leng Kai and others, even making a bet, all for defending Shu Qinghan.
Shu Qinghan was not the kind of woman who didn’t appreciate kindness, she now considered Huang Xiaolong a trustworthy person.
“Qinghan, you’ll need to put up with some discomfort. Are you willing?” Huang Xiaolong asked seriously.
“Don’t worry, Little Long. I’m not afraid of suffering.” Shu Qinghan’s eyes filled with determination. “As long as it can prove my innocence, even if I die, I am willing! ”
“Alright, Qinghan, from now on, listen to me,” Huang Xiaolong said. “I will prove your innocence.”
“Okay.” Shu Qinghan nodded.
“Come, climb on my back.” Huang Xiaolong suddenly turned around and crouched slightly.
“Uh…” Shu Qinghan hesitated for a moment, but she absolutely obeyed Huang Xiaolong’s arrangement.
“What is he playing at?” Song Yuru was more and more confused about what Huang Xiaolong was doing.
Leng Kai, Song Jian, and others had expressions of waiting for a good show. Huang Xiaolong carried Shu Qinghan on his back and walked towards a big tree.
This broad and sturdy shoulder gave Shu Qinghan a sense of security… Huang Xiaolong, carrying Shu Qinghan, came to the tree and started to… climb the tree!
“What the hell is this guy doing?” Leng Kai was a little impatient, but also very curious. “Could it be… is he a lunatic?”
Huang Xiaolong carried Shu Qinghan up the tree and found a sturdy branch to sit on.
“Qinghan, take this…” Huang Xiaolong took a bottle from his canvas bag and handed it to Shu Qinghan.
Shu Qinghan took it and saw, “Uh… Golden dragon fish sesame oil?”
Yes, Huang Xiaolong handed her the sesame oil he had just bought from the farmer’s market.
“Qinghan, drink this bottle of sesame oil. Drink the whole bottle, leave nothing behind,” Huang Xiaolong said with an absolute serious tone.
Huh? Drink sesame oil?
“Drink… a whole bottle of sesame oil?” Shu Qinghan had never heard of anyone drinking sesame oil like water before.
Owing her trust in Huang Xiaolong, after being stunned for a few seconds, Shu Qinghan uncapped the bottle, gritted her teeth, and gulped down the whole bottle of sesame oil.
After drinking, Shu Qinghan had to gag a couple of times and quickly covered her mouth with her hand to prevent the churning sesame oil in her stomach from pouring out.
Down below, Song Yuru was not sure whether Huang Xiaolong was treating Shu Qinghan or tricking her.
And what happened next was utterly unimaginable!
Huang Xiaolong took a crystal clear silken cord out of his bag, then—he tied up Shu Qinghan’s legs and hung her upside down from the tree branch!
Shu Qinghan was like a bat, hanging upside down from the tree with her head pointed towards the pot of boiling water below.
After all this, Huang Xiaolong said to Shu Qinghan, “Qinghan, just hold on for a moment, you’ll be fine soon.”
After saying that, Huang Xiaolong agilely jumped down from the tree.
“Little Long, what the hell are you doing? Giving Qinghan sesame oil and then hanging her on a tree… You might actually kill her!” Song Yuru said worriedly.
“Wife, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. I am trying to cure Qinghan, right?” Huang Xiaolong laughed.
Over there, Leng Kai, Song Jian, and others were full of doubts—
“What the hell is he trying to do? Is he going to abort Shu Qinghan’s baby directly?”
“Tsk, if he keeps her hanging like that, the baby won’t survive.”
“The Shu family didn’t let Shu Qinghan have an abortion because they want her to give birth to the bastard and then find out who the child’s biological father is. This farmer, Huang Xiaolong, is giving Shu Qinghan an abortion, he’s directly offending the Shu family.”
“Heh, we can’t interfere in these matters, but starting from tomorrow, this country bumpkin will obediently go back to the countryside and farm.”
Huang Xiaolong temporarily stopped paying attention to Shu Qinghan hanging from the tree branch. The water in the pot was boiling. He put condiments, spices, and several special herbs into the pot. Soon, a unique aroma began to emanate.
“Wife, videotape this with your phone. This video will vindicate Qinghan.” Huang Xiaolong said mysteriously.
“Little Long, can you please explain to me what exactly you’re up to?” Song Yuru’s mind was in a total whirl.
“Babe, just stop asking so many questions. Trust me, would you? I’m not messing around,” Huang Xiaolong said with a grin.
Left with no other option, Song Yuru pulled out her phone to start recording a video.
Just then, Huang Xiaolong tossed several freshly cleaned roosters into the pot.
Alright, he’s making chicken soup!
The chicken meat being boiled in bubbling water is infiltrated by a variety of seasonings, herbs, and spices.
“Huang Xiaolong, didn’t you promise us we would have roasted lamb? What’s this about changing to chicken soup now? You’re not trying to save money, are you?” Song Jian teased from the side, laughing.
“You don’t know. The dish I’m making is extremely delicious and far better than roasted lamb. You are all in for a treat today,” Huang Xiaolong laughed.
Song Jian and the others gave a collective, raucous laugh.
But honestly, after the chicken had been cooking for a while, it started releasing a rather rich and appealing aroma.
That fragrance was not only thick with the scent of chicken soup but also interlaced with an indescribable herbal aroma. It lingered in the air, tantalizingly savory.
Gulp-
Upon smelling the delicious aroma, the stomachs of Leng Kai, Song Jian, and others growled; their mouths watered, and they swallowed reflexively, their tastebuds thoroughly tantalized.
“Good heavens, who would have figured that this country bumpkin is such a masterful cook…” Fang Ruoyu’s eyes narrowed slightly, greedily enjoying the aroma of the chicken soup. “It’s heavenly, far better than any chicken soup I’ve ever had. And there’s a hint of medicine-like taste. Could it be a medicinal dish?”
As he cooked the chicken soup, steam rose from the pot. Shu Qinghan’s head just happened to be directly above the pot. As a result, her head was completely enveloped by the pale steam.
Shu Qinghan was in great discomfort at that moment, but she gritted her teeth, not uttering a sound, stubbornly persevering.
Song Yuru watched tearfully from beneath, empathizing deeply, but she didn’t forget to keep her video rolling.
A few minutes later. Surprisingly!
“Wah-
Unable to bear it any longer, Shu Qinghan, who was hanging from a tree branch, opened her mouth and started retching as if she could no longer bear the discomfort.
The people beneath couldn’t help but look up.
A bizarre scene unfolded!
A chilling scene unfolded!
A ghastly scene unfolded!
Shu Qinghan’s mouth was wide open, true enough she was throwing up, but what she retched wasn’t anything dirty or filthy, but…
She was throwing up a flat snakehead!!!
Please, you heard it right. It was a snakehead!
A cauliflower snake!
Cauliflower snakes seemed to be infatuated with this kind of taste. It made sense, since snakes and chickens are natural enemies, and snakes particularly love chicken meat.
“Wah—wah, wah—–wah,
Shu Qinghan continued to retch ceaselessly.
Because snakes have scales, when they crawled out of Shu Qinghan’s mouth, their scales cut her throat, but Huang Xiaolong had her drink a whole bottle of sesame oil beforehand. This way, Shu Qinghan’s throat and esophagus became thoroughly lubricated.
“Oh, my God! So terrifying! A snake! A snake!” Chen Shuangshuang cried out in fright, her face paling.
Fang Ruoyu, having the greatest fear of snakes, wetted herself out of fear.
Even guys like Leng Kai and Song Jian felt their scalps tingle with dread.
Song Yuru was not afraid of snakes. She seemed to faintly understand something. As she recorded the video, she shouted, “Qinghan’s stomach! Her swollen stomach has deflated! It’s gone flat!”
Finally
Splash!!!
A cauliflower snake, about 2 meters long, fell out of Shu Qinghan’s mouth. It looked like a diving athlete, falling directly into the boiling chicken soup below.
In an instant, an even more fragrant aroma filled the air. It was so strong that it couldn’t diffuse away. Just one whiff made people’s stomachs rumble. The aroma was soothing, warming the stomach, nourishing the stomach, and invigorating.
The renowned dragon’s liver and phoenix’s marrow probably tasted no better than this!
At the same time, Shu Qinghan’s belly, which looked several months pregnant before, had deflated completely, like a ball losing air. There was not an inch of flabby meat.
“All done! What I’m treating you to today is this secret recipe of Dragon Phoenix Soup!” Huang Xiaolong chuckled.
