Moments later, Leng Ruo Li dismissed everyone, closed the room, and pulled Jun Mo Han into her system space.
With a flash, the two appeared on the lawn of the system space. Leng Ruo Li discovered that her lawn had grown much larger. Even more surprising was that the vegetables and fruits they had planted earlier were now ready to be picked and eaten.
"Jun Mo Han, I want to plant medicinal herbs in the two plots you prepared earlier," Leng Ruo Li said with a smile.
"Your space lawn is so spacious; you can plant whatever you want," Jun Mo Han replied with admiration.
"Hehe, then I'll trouble you to help me plant medicinal herbs tonight," Leng Ruo Li said with a mischievous smile.
As soon as she finished speaking, she used her mind to move the large box of rare medicinal herbs gifted by Prince Ji and his wife in front of them.
"This box of rare medicinal herbs that Prince Ji gave me in Southern Zhao Kingdom was preserved in individual ice wood boxes. If we carefully plant them in the soil, each one should survive," Leng Ruo Li said earnestly.
Next, Jun Mo Han cooperated with Leng Ruo Li to carefully plant the over thirty kinds of medicinal herbs in the box into the soil.
After planting the herbs, they worried they might not survive. They fetched a small plastic bucket, filled it with two buckets of water from the cold pond, and watered the herbal patch before they considered their work done.
"Jun Mo Han, thank you so much for tonight. To thank you, I'll treat you to mala tang later."
"Mala tang? What is mala tang?"
Jun Mo Han heard new words from Leng Ruo Li again.
"It's like a small hot pot, similar to the hot pot you ate before," Leng Ruo Li replied.
Jun Mo Han's mouth watered at the mention of hot pot.
"Li'er, it's been a long time since I've had your hot pot," Jun Mo Han said pitifully.
"Haha, you look so pitiful, it makes me want to laugh. Actually, mala tang is similar to hot pot, and just as delicious. Let's go, we'll pick more vegetables to take back to the room, and I'll cook mala tang for you right away." Leng Ruo Li couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and deliberately showed a flirtatious smile as she looked at Jun Mo Han.
Uh...
The little woman was trying to seduce him!
"Li'er, we've been married for a long time. Why don't we consummate our marriage tonight?" Jun Mo Han looked at Leng Ruo Li with a devilish charm.
Upon hearing this, Leng Ruo Li glanced at Jun Mo Han.
"Jun Mo Han, I warn you, you can't force me to consummate our marriage if I don't want to."
"Li'er, don't worry, I won't force you. But can you give me a specific timeframe? I'm already in my twenties. The eldest daughter of others is already ten years old, and even the fourth is about to become a father. You can't expect me to wait ten years before becoming a father, can you?" Jun Mo Han said grievance.
"Jun Mo Han, where I come from, at my age of sixteen or seventeen, I'd still be in school. At eighteen, I'm considered an adult. If a girl wants to get married, the legal age is at least twenty to get a license. Therefore, I won't have marital relations with you before I'm eighteen. If you can't wait, you can take another consort," Leng Ruo Li said calmly.
Although she no longer disliked Jun Mo Han after months of getting along, and even fell in love with him, if Jun Mo Han were to find another woman because she refused to have marital relations with him, she, Leng Ruo Li, would painfully let go and divorce Jun Mo Han. Then, she would take her father, Xing'er, and Ling'er, and travel the world with her medical skills.
"This King will not have other women. This King will only marry you as his consort for life. No matter how many years you make this King wait, this King is willing to wait for you," Jun Mo Han vowed.
Leng Ruo Li was touched by Jun Mo Han's words and hoped their relationship wouldn't end in a tragic separation.
"You said it then. I, Leng Ruo Li, only pursue a lifelong companionship with one person. If you betray me with another woman one day, I will leave you without hesitation and ensure you can never find me again, hmph!" Leng Ruo Li replied domineeringly.
"No, Li'er, please don't leave me, okay? No woman in this world can occupy a place in this King's heart. Let's grow old together. In this life and the next, we will be together," Jun Mo Han promised.
Then, he quickly walked behind Leng Ruo Li, hugged her slender waist, and buried his head in her neck. Just taking a deep breath of her fragrance made him completely fall for her.
"Alright, Jun Mo Han, hurry up and pick vegetables. Do you still want to eat mala tang?"
Leng Ruo Li pushed away Jun Mo Han's arms around her waist and said loudly.
Alas, men's sweet talk was truly no match for women.
Afterward, the two quickly picked two large baskets of vegetables and returned to the villa to wash them. Leng Ruo Li began preparing various side dishes. For meat alone, there were fatty beef, fatty lamb, chicken, duck, ham, shrimp, fish, cured meat, bacon, pork tenderloin, chicken strips, chicken offal, chicken blood, duck blood, beef offal, quail eggs, fish balls, beef balls, and luncheon meat.
The variety of vegetables was even richer, including oyster lettuce, cilantro, rehydrated dried fungus, rehydrated dried kelp, potato slices, baby bok choy, celtuce slices, enoki mushrooms, bean sprouts, small bok choy, yam, garland chrysanthemum, water spinach, sweet potato, and more. In short, Leng Ruo Li prepared a lot of food. These were all items she had stored in her pantry earlier. Because her system space had a preservation function, these vegetables wouldn't spoil even if they weren't finished, so Leng Ruo Li wasn't afraid of waste.
After Leng Ruo Li finished preparing all the side dishes, she then concocted the mala tang broth. This time, she also prepared a yin-yang pot. Her movements were swift, and she finished the broth in no time. The two immediately started eating.
"Li'er, are all people from your place as good at eating as you are?" Jun Mo Han asked curiously.
"Of course. Where I come from, as long as you have money in your pocket, you can have any gourmet food you want," Leng Ruo Li replied proudly.
"That's great. If you have the chance, can Li'er take me to see your place?" Jun Mo Han said enviously.
"Alas, there's probably no chance. I don't even know how to get back myself," Leng Ruo Li sighed.
Even if she could go back, her body from her previous life would have long been cremated. But even if her body wasn't cremated, it would still be a body that was blown to pieces.
Jun Mo Han was very happy to hear Leng Ruo Li's words, because he was most afraid that Li'er would suddenly leave him and return to her original world, making it impossible for him to find her again.
If such a thing were to happen one day, he, Jun Mo Han, would collapse.
"It doesn't matter, Li'er. If you can't go back, stay with this King and live this life on this vast continent," Jun Mo Han said with a smile.
