Reborn as the Darling of the Delta

"Unsalted noodles? Does that mean noodles without salt? What's there to eat with that?"

Abel, puzzled by Said's strange request, asked.

"Oh, you don't need to worry about that. Just do as I say."

Said waved at him and casually untied Roy, who was still bound.

"Waaaaah, Lao Sai, I misunderstood you. You even gave me special tutoring. Waaaaah, I love you, I love you."

Roy clung to Said, sobbing uncontrollably, while Said winked at Zhang Hao where Roy couldn't see.

Zhang Hao: Sigh, poor Roy, he still suffers from his lack of education.

"Hehe, to be honest, I'm really hungry after being beaten up for so long. Come on, come on, I'll try the Asara specialties you prepared for me, Lao Sai. By the way, you guys eat noodles here?"

Roy once again turned on his talkative mode, pulling Said aside to chat about this and that, and even bringing in Zhang Hao and Sophia to give their opinions on the salt-free noodles.

"It's delicious. Roy, you can eat it later. You'll eat it all without making a sound."

"Hooray! Really? Wow, even Xiao Hao said so. Oh dear, Said, I misunderstood you."

Saeed: ... (I don't like to talk, hehe.)

"This isn't a local specialty; it's from Xiaohao's place in China."

After thinking it over, Said decided not to let Asara take the blame. He probably already knew how nasty Roy's insults would be later.

(Weekends are better, there are more people on weekends (???`?))

Chapter 135 A Loser?

After Zhang Hao and his group waited at the dining table for a while, several Asara soldiers brought out the food one after another.

Looking at the fragrant dishes in front of him, Zhang Hao took a sniff and then asked Said, who was standing proudly to the side:

"Uncle Sayed, you must have personally trained these chefs, right?"

Zhang Hao: My nose is a ruler, just kidding. It's full of my shadow. This isn't something Uncle Said taught me to eat.

"Oh, it has to be Xiao Hao! He can even smell it! Come on, try it. It's different from when you cook it yourself. Let's just make do with this!"

Unlike Saeed and Zhang Hao, Roy stared blankly at the large bowl of white noodles in front of him.

"No...it's not Old Sai, this...this is really my unsalted noodles?"

He smelled it, and well, there was no smell. Roy picked up his chopsticks, blew on it twice, and then "poof!" he spat it out.

"Damn it, Lao Sai, you........."

Roy stared wide-eyed at Said, who was whistling with his back turned, then looked at Zhang Hao and Sophia, who were pretending to eat as if nothing was wrong. At that moment, his heart, which was pounding, almost broke.

"Ahem, Roy, you know how poor our dam is. You know, many people couldn't even afford a bowl of noodles like this before. You're complaining about how bad it tastes, but do you know how many people a bowl of noodles like this could save here?"

Saeed coughed awkwardly twice, but then reverted to his previous cold and serious demeanor. What he said next made Zhang Hao and Sophia, who were watching the drama unfold, nod in agreement.

"So Roy, it seems that this can indeed be considered a unique feature of our dam. Unlike Reis, who has the best, biggest and most abundant resources, we don't have a scumbag like Hamk who burns, kills and plunders everywhere. Everything we have now has to be earned by ourselves."

Said patted Roy on the shoulder.

"But...but I don't want to either..."

"No, you need to experience Roy. Look, Xiao Hao taught me how to make this noodle. You don't want Xiao Hao to look at you with disappointment, do you?"

Roy turned his head to look, and Zhang Hao immediately pretended to look at him with a disappointed expression, as if he were looking at someone who was wasting food.

"I...I'll eat it, okay?"

Seeing this, Sayed secretly gave Zhang Hao and his group a thumbs-up from behind. Although this was somewhat of a ruse, Sayed wasn't lying. Before Zhang Hao arrived at the dam, countless people from Asara had starved to death while wandering outside. If they had had a bowl of unsalted noodles like this, they might not have starved to death...

So even though Sayed seems wealthy and powerful in front of Zhang Hao, he has had all the resources he has acquired calculated carefully, because he doesn't want people to starve to death on the dam again.

Roy looked at Sayed, who was still dressed the same as when he first saw him, even though he kept telling Zhang Hao that the dam was doing well and that he had money. The shoes on his feet were just as bad as Roy's, and the cloak behind him was tattered and covered in repairs.

Roy looked at the bowl of noodles in front of him again, and it seemed... not so bad after all.

A few minutes later........

"Ugh, I can't take it anymore, Saeed, get me some salt, I can't hold it in anymore, Xiao Hao, give me the rest of your broth, I can't eat anymore, it's too much, and it doesn't even have any flavor."

Seeing that it was about time, Sayed had someone take Roy's bowl of noodles away and gave him a serving of vegetables and rice.

"Wow, this dish is delicious!"

When Roy took another bite of the greens, tears welled up in his eyes. "Oh my god, it's so delicious! How can there be such delicious vegetables?"

After they finished eating, Sofia suddenly asked:

"Xiao Hao, you said that more and more people are coming to join us now, and even though we're speeding up the construction of houses, it's still not enough. Besides, the dam area isn't big enough to accommodate so many people. Do you have any ideas?"

Zhang Hao wiped his mouth. Said had mentioned this issue to him a long time ago, but at the time, because there weren't many people at the dam, the two of them didn't pay much attention to it. After all, who would have thought that so many people would not go to Reis's place but instead come to their poor dam?

"Hmm... I think that without taking down Hamk or Reis, it seems the only option is to expand towards the dam. Uncle Said, didn't you start building warehouses there before? Now that we have more people, send more people to expand the dam's territory to the side. We can also build houses there to accommodate the staff."

Zhang Hao thought for a moment and then thought of Longbow Valley, Asara's largest territory at present.

"Of course, if we can take over Longbow Valley from Reis, then none of your problems will be a problem, Sister Sophia. Many people originally fled from Reis, so Longbow Valley can accommodate more people than you think."

After discussing for a while, Zhang Hao and Luo Yi suggested that they go back first.

"Goodbye Uncle Said, Sister Sofia!"

"Okay! Come again next time!"

Roy glanced at the two standing together, gave Said a knowing look that only men could understand, then chuckled and sped off, giving Said no chance to kick him.

"Roy! You just wait until next time you come!!!"

But all that came was Roy's smirking laugh carried on the wind.

After returning, Zhang Hao was looking forward to a nice nap in his room, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Luna as soon as he got back to the Special Operations Department.

Zhang Hao blinked, looking at Luna with a very serious expression, somewhat bewildered.

What happened to me again? Has something else gone wrong?

"Roy, so free? Didn't you go upstairs? Now you have nothing to do, huh?"

Luna first turned around and glared at Roy, who was hiding behind the sofa and trying to eavesdrop. After sending him back to his room with a look, she focused her gaze on Zhang Hao in front of her.

"Xiao Hao, isn't your sister good to you?"

As Zhang Hao listened to Luna's nonsensical words, he began to secretly make a guess.

Zhang Hao: [The scheming frog keeps touching your belly], it must be Sister Xiaowen or Sister Zoya who used me to anger Sister Luna, that must be it.

And indeed, he was right. In the morning, when Mai Xiaowen went to the shooting range to practice shooting, she ran into Luna. The two had a minor verbal altercation, but under Luna's constant provocation, Mai Xiaowen played her trump card.

"Hmph, you call me a clown? Luna, you haven't tasted Xiao Hao's lips yet! Hehehehe, let me tell you, they're very fragrant and soft. If you kiss Xiao Hao's lips for a while, tears will come out. It's so cute."

Mai Xiaowen leaned close to the stunned Luna and uttered the final words that shattered her:

"And you, her Luna, can probably only fantasize in your room about Xiao Hao sweetly calling you 'sister,' what a loser. Don't show off your past achievements here; you and I are no longer on the same level."

Luna: Are you kidding me?! (;???Д??`)

Chapter 136 Is my sister beautiful?

After hearing Mai Xiaowen's words, Luna could only stand there dumbfounded. What? Her precious Xiaohao was being brutally "bullied" by this former defeated opponent?

Later at lunchtime, Luna locked herself in her room, claiming she had no appetite. As a result, Weilong and Terry each divided Luna's portion in half.

However, Luna in the room became angrier and angrier. Mai Xiaowen, who was just a little karaomi before, had now left her far behind and was now mocking her, a "veteran driver".

Luna tossed and turned in bed, then suddenly sat up abruptly, a determined glint in her eyes.

"No, I can't fall behind like this. If Mai Xiaowen can do it, why can't I? No, I have to wait for Xiao Hao to come back! I'll do it myself."

So after everyone went back to their rooms, Luna went to the living room alone to wait for Zhang Hao to return, and now she was going to enjoy the "delicious" Xiao Hao in front of her.

"Sister Luna, what are you saying? How could you be mean to me? What's wrong with you...?"

Zhang Hao tilted his head and asked, trying to get away with it by being cute.

"Oh? So, Xiao Hao, have you kissed Mai Xiaowen?"

Zhang Hao immediately understood what had happened. Zoya usually wouldn't discuss these things with Luna, so the truth was clear: Xiaowen must have provoked Luna again. He was in real danger now! (lll￢ω￢)

Mai Xiaowen: I didn't! Xiaohao, you're wronging me. I didn't provoke this guy at all. She was the one who started it.

When Luna turned her gaze to Zhang Hao, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Lu... Luna, why are you suddenly asking this? Haha, Xiaowen and you guys also kiss me all the time. Um, I'm a little sleepy, I'm going back to sleep first!"

Zhang Hao wanted to take the opportunity to escape the scene quickly, but due to his delicate and weak constitution, he was caught by Luna and brought back.

"Xiao Hao, answer your sister's question first, okay? Don't rush if you want to sleep. After you finish answering, sister will take you back to sister's room to sleep, okay?"

Zhang Hao: It's over, there's no escaping it now. (;???Д??`)

"Hey Luna, let's make a deal first, no matter what I say later, you can't get angry, okay?"

However, the words that reached Luna's ears were already translated into her brain. She smiled, but her eyes darkened.

"No... no need, Xiao Hao. I know everything. Since that's the case, I have no reason not to do it!"

Seeing Luna like this, Zhang Hao could only helplessly lean against the sofa behind him, trying to make a last-ditch effort. But unfortunately, Luna seemed to have figured something out and gave Zhang Hao a charming smile.

"Xiao Hao, isn't your older sister beautiful?"

. . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . .

When Zhang Hao opened his eyes again, he found himself still being tightly hugged by Luna, and he could feel the genuine "facial cleanser" as soon as he turned his head.

Recalling how he had tremblingly uttered "It looks good" before being abducted to Luna's room, and how, the moment the door locked, Zhang Hao saw a flash of red light in Luna's eyes, as if... she were looking at a naked little white rabbit.

Zhang Hao could only greet what was about to happen with a look of "helplessness" (or "happiness").

Zhang Hao: Sister Xiaowen, although I don't know how many times I've said sorry, I have to apologize again this time. The enemy's strength is beyond my imagination. She's practically a special attack on me!

Luna simply breathed into Zhang Hao's ear and nibbled on his earlobe, and Zhang Hao was immediately defenseless, allowing Luna to take full control of him.

"Hmm~~~~~~"（づ￣3￣）づ╭～

Under the skillful guidance of the "veteran driver" Luna, Zhang Hao was utterly routed, and the things Mai Xiaowen had said before resurfaced in Luna's mind.

Luna: What's going on? This is so exciting! I love it! Come on, Xiao Hao, let's do it again! (*￣3￣)╭?

After Luna had her fill of pleasure, Zhang Hao's eyes were already brimming with tears, his lips were red from being kissed, and upon closer inspection, they even looked a little swollen. He was now panting with his mouth open.

Looking at her masterpiece beneath her, Luna pulled Zhang Hao into her arms with satisfaction, and gave him a satisfied suck on his belly like she was petting a cat.

"Xiao Hao, you smell so good! I love it!"

When Zhang Hao came to his senses again, this was the situation before him.

"Jingle Bell!!!"

Just then, Zhang Hao's phone rang. He glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and was immediately terrified.

On the phone screen, the profile picture displayed was that of his jealous sister Xiaowen. If she found out about his current situation, he was afraid he would be in for another terrifying ordeal.

Just as Zhang Hao was about to take out his phone to answer the call, Luna snatched it from his sight.

Zhang Hao: Family, I'm a little panicked. What should I do now? I'm waiting for your help online, it's urgent.

"Who is it? It's so noisy, huh? Xiaowen..."

Luna groggily picked up the source of the annoying noise, but she snapped out of it after recognizing who it was. She then looked at Zhang Hao, who was shaking his head and looking at her pitifully.

"Oh, so it's Xiaohao's sister Xiaowen. Don't worry, Xiaohao, I'll take care of her for you."

Then, under Zhang Hao's helpless gaze, he answered the phone.

"Hey Hao Hao, are you back yet? I missed you so much! Come to my room when you're back, I've found you a new game."

Mai Xiaowen's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone. She was thinking about how she could play games with Zhang Hao happily that night and then have a good night's sleep. The wonderful life made her almost laugh out loud.

"Sorry, Xiao Hao is sleeping very comfortably in my arms right now. As for your game, Xiao Hao says he doesn't want to play it at all."

But instead of Zhang Haoxing's triumphant reply, Mai Xiaowen received... Luna!!!

"Luna? What do you mean? You kidnapped my Xiaohao? What did you do to him? Are you even human?!"
