Chapter 1093: Chapter 9 Competing Again and Again
Tang Xiaolian’s ability to persuade Zhao Yuanzhen and Zhou Hongyu to stop made Yan Yu quite surprised.
No way, how did you do that?
Neither of them listens to , yet they actually listened to your persuasion?
Noticing the puzzled look on Yan Yu’s face, Tang Xiaolian just smiled playfully, putting a finger to her lips, signaling “don’t ask”.
I’ll tell you later.
The four of them returned to Lu Country by sword flight, swiftly passing over the Pacific Ocean.
Among the various transcendental systems, Lu Country cultivators are undoubtedly considered one of the most formidable professions. Not to ntion, just their ability to fly on swords already outmatches many other extraordinary professions in terms of mobility.
Upon returning to Lu Country, Tang Xiaolian suddenly suggested that since sword flight was so convenient, she wanted to go ho for a visit.
“It’s been so long since I’ve been ho. You should co with !” She clung to Yan Yu’s arm coquettishly and then signaled to Zhao Yuanzhen and Zhou Hongyu, “Won’t you two sisters co along as well?”
“Hmm, I do miss the fresh-flower cakes and yak cheese from Xiaolian’s ho a bit,” Zhao Yuanzhen said earnestly.
“When did you ever visit her ho?” Yan Yu found it inexplicable.
“Ahem! During a private job previously, I visited once thanks to Xiaolian’s invitation,” Zhao Yuanzhen quickly explained.
“But when you were doing private jobs, you weren’t that familiar with her!” Yan Yu also rembered that Zhao Yuanzhen did go out for a while to search for the last White Bone Heart-locking Hairpin by taking leave.
But she and Tang Xiaolian only truly beca acquainted after the latter crossed tribulation and ford a core, moving to Jinling, which doesn’t line up tiwise at all.
Zhao Yuanzhen hesitated, and Zhou Hongyu was speechless, quickly communicating to her: Don’t speak anymore, you’re just making it worse!
“Just say if you dare to go or not,” she impatiently asked Yan Yu, “Her ho is a guesthouse, not a shady store. Are we going to eat you or what?”
“Why wouldn’t I dare?” Yan Yu thought it over carefully, seeming to see no issue, so he agreed.
He had also been to Tang Xiaolian’s guesthouse before; the highland landscapes were truly vast and beautiful, although sowhat monotonous after a while, but nice for the occasional stay.
Landing at the guesthouse entrance, Yan Yu saw several aunts inside cleaning.
“My parents have already moved to the Military Mansion,” Tang Xiaolian explained. “This place was closed for too long, and a lot of dust accumulated, so I asked the aunts who used to work here to help out.”
“So you went out of your way to invite over just to have people clean. What’s the point?” Yan Yu asked.
“Ahaha, I just wanted to invite you all over to have fun,” Tang Xiaolian vaguely replied. “I’m going out to buy so ingredients and will make you sothing delicious later.”
Yan Yu saw she didn’t want to elaborate and didn’t ask further.
Once the aunts finished cleaning, Tang Xiaolian ca back by sword flight and kept her promise by cooking several dishes for everyone.
For Yan Yu, Xiaolian’s cooking wasn’t as good as Ningning’s, but it was decent enough to serve guests. Perhaps to cater to her Hongyu sister, many of the dishes were heavier, topped with lots of garlic and chopped chili.
Seeing Zhao Yuanzhen gobbling it up showed the taste wasn’t bad.
“Xiaolian used to help out at ho often,” Zhou Hongyu boasted, “Unlike so people who only eat and don’t cook.”
“Hmph, her cooking skills are far inferior to our Ningning,” Zhao Yuanzhen said disdainfully.
“Why don’t you put down your chopsticks first before criticizing others’ skills,” Yan Yu reproached.
“Forget it,” Zhao Yuanzhen said slightly embarrassed, changing the topic, “I’ll show you a magic trick.”
She picked up the lower half of a fish with chopsticks, snapped its spine, and said:
“Watch carefully, I’m going to transform it!”
Then she put the fish tail-first into her mouth, closed her lips, and with a yank of the chopsticks, pulled out a neatly arranged skeleton.
“See, I made the fish disappear!” Zhao Yuanzhen bragged.
Everyone burst out laughing, realizing they shouldn’t expect any real talent from her performance!
“Amazing!” Tang Xiaolian praised, “This fish’s bones are quite many, yet Sister Yuanzhen managed to eat it in one bite!”
“Heh heh,” Zhao Yuanzhen was proud, “This is my original thod for eating fish without spitting out bones!”
In fact, it was just using a spell from the Demon Path to secretly crush all the food in her mouth, bones and all, into paste.
With Zhao Yuanzhen’s distraction, Yan Yu didn’t bother about the cooking skills issue anymore, only waiting for Tang Xiaolian to speak up—she had invited him all the way here; it couldn’t be just for a al.
Well-fed and satisfied, everyone laid back on the soft chairs in the living room to rest.
The living room faced large floor-to-ceiling windows, offering a view of the majestic highland snow-capped mountains in the distance. A slight chill filled the air, so Tang Xiaolian gathered so wood and lit a fire in the nearby fireplace, closing the smoke guard.
“There’s really nothing special about this night view,” Zhao Yuanzhen said, wrapped in a thick blanket, yawning lazily, “I’m going to sleep.”
Zhou Hongyu looked at her speechlessly: Fool, have you forgotten why we ca here?
As it stands, there are already seven won living permanently in the Jinling Prefecture villa, and that number will only increase.
The more people share the ti, the less each one gets. So Xiaolian suggested resting at the guesthouse so we could spend more ti with him… And rember, we still have a competition tonight!
