The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead

Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Showing Initial Talent

The sight before him stunned Fu Yunhe and then plunged him into deep thought.

At that moment, Nian Shutong was holding a nearly two-meter-long chopping knife, with a one-meter-long turquoise handle below and a turquoise blade above.

If there were Earth people present, they could recognize the knife as no different from the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, shaped according to Daodao’s preference and purposely transformed.

Fu Yunhe only saw Nian Shutong slowly ascend, swinging her arms downward, and streaks of turquoise light shot out, each creating a deep trench in the ground.

After a dozen swings, Nian Shutong flipped her hand, the big knife disappeared, and she descended from the air.

She knelt on one knee, one palm touching the ground, and all the soil in the trenches seemed to understand her commands, moving on its own.

Nian Shutong was versed in poisons, but she could manipulate the Five Elements, though not expertly.

Soon, three rectangular patches of land formed three pits of varying depths in front of her.

But Nian Shutong continued.

The seaside was never short of rocks. Daodao appeared again, slicing through rocks as if they were tofu.

Square stone slabs, smooth and rounded, were laid inside the three pits, forming the pools Nian Shutong needed.

With the last stone slab in place, Nian Shutong put away Daodao, standing with hands clasped behind her back, satisfied as she looked at the three pools. Not bad, she was quite pleased.

The most important thing was… it saved money.

She casually waved at Fu Yunhe, her facial expression relaxed, though her spiritual power had almost been depleted, but she had to carry on the pretense until the end.

“Xiao He, what do you think?”

Fu Yunhe moved slowly, looking at the neatly formed, imposing pools, and sincerely praised, “Impressive.”

Truly impressive, Nian Shutong was impressive.

This move, a metaphorical “striking the mountain to awe the tiger,” was even more astonishing.

“You flatter me, you flatter me,” Nian Shutong raised her hand again, explaining to Fu Yunhe, “When the tide rises, it should just fill the first pool. Unfortunately… we missed it today.”

The sound of water…

The sea water near the shore was swept up by an unknown force, rising and shifting. @@novelbin@@

“The sound of water——-”

It fell into the first pool.

“There, that works too,” Nian Shutong lowered her hand and continued to stand in a lofty pose.

For a moment, there was even more silence between the two.

This silence didn’t last long because the delivery robot arrived.

Fu Yunhe followed Nian Shutong’s arrangements, placing the virtual sun above the first pool, and another filtering machine on the far side of the sea from the three pools.

The virtual sun is a device that can provide unlimited heat, continuously generating high power to accelerate the evaporation process.

In the interstellar realm, all suns are artificial, set by the Empire’s Royal Family to standardize a twenty-four-hour time system.

Given the multitude of stars and even more planets in the interstellar domain, one sun is certainly not enough.

The two of them, one silently resting to gather some spiritual power, the other, took out their own lounge chair, sitting and waiting for the salt drying results.

When the first pool was almost done, the virtual sun was sequentially moved above the second and third pools.

When the third pool began to show slightly coarse salt crystals, Fu Yunhe was not surprised.

Isn’t this the same salt everyone eats now? Nothing extraordinary, or to say, the cost was too high.

The interstellar has special salt mines; there’s no need for such strenuous efforts to obtain these salt granules.

“Do you look down on these salt particles?”
