Capítulo 1417: Chapter 58: Drifting Apart Like Flying Chaff (2-in-1)_3
But when she saw the girl she had played with since childhood, now with cheeks gray-black, secretly bringing ‘good things’ to her, even though she could have remained cold and never see her again, she couldn’t find the words to refuse.
So during those days, the young first of the Dongfang Clan, whose status was only below a few Elders, would sit shoulder to shoulder with a little girl dressed like a maid, nibbling on the snacks. The collision of teeth with the pastries made sounds akin to wood rubbing, and her cheeks grew sore.
“Is it delicious?”
“Mhm.”
“Is it a bit too hard?”
“…No.”
The once young girl thought deeply and then seriously said to Dongfang Ximing: ‘I’ve added enough sugar, and it’s cooked well. There are no pieces of eggshell inside, and there’s sugar outside the pastries too, they’re also cooked well, and no shells, so there’s no problem.’
The aloof woman turned her back to Bi Tong’er, and slightly smiled, also turning her back on the curious Dongfang Ximing.
As arranged by Elder Hexuan, you have been brought out of Dongfang.
But in this life, apart from your wedding day, I don’t wish to taste your cooking again.
She left slowly.
Bi Tong’er smiled, glanced back at the First Estate, and hurried to catch up.
Beside Li Wu, Dongfang Ximing suddenly looked up, sowhat confused, and glanced around. The old man took a sip of wine and teased: “What’s the matter? Seeing such scenery today has you a bit dazed? Do you want to learn Martial Arts? Maybe one day you could reach such a realm.”
Dongfang Ximing shook her head, bewildered, and said:
“I always feel like soone is watching .”
The old man retorted disdainfully: “So many people, many are watching you.”
Dongfang Ximing thought for a mont, then suddenly opened her mouth with anticipation:
“Uncle Li, the First Estate should be able to lend the kitchen, right?”
Li Wu’s white brows twitched.
Sure enough, Dongfang Ximing’s next sentence made the old man’s scalp tingle.
“I, I don’t know why, but I suddenly want to make pastries.”
The old man, who had once pierced Kunlun with a sword, only felt his throat itch, coughed twice without being able to clear it, and didn’t know how to respond. Nearby, Zhou Shen just happened to co over, smiling:
“The young girl can make pastries?”
Dongfang Ximing recognized the scholarly elder, saluted, and nodded in response:
“Learned a lot at ho.”
Zhou Shen stroked his beard, looked at Li Wu, and curiously asked: “Since that’s the case, why doesn’t the senior allow it?”
Li Wu shook his wine jug, laughed dryly:
“I don’t like sweets.”
Most heroic swordsn and military generals disdain delicacies, not to ntion soone like Li Wu who has feet on both ends. Zhou Shen nodded knowingly, seeing Dongfang Ximing sowhat disoriented, assuming it was because of Li Wu’s refusal, smiled and said: “If the young girl doesn’t mind, could this old man have the honor to taste so?”
Dongfang Ximing raised her head, a little surprised and pleasantly surprised.
Li Changxing, who ca by, also joined in, pointing to himself: “Ahem, I want to try too.”
He gestured to several Suicide Squad eunuchs behind him and said: “They would like to as well.”
They imdiately responded in unison.
Such an easy and risk-free opportunity to show loyalty doesn’t co often, those Suicide Squad mbers who had made a na for themselves in Jianghu looked at Dongfang Ximing with softened eyes.
Dongfang Ximing had never had so many people wanting to try her pastry skills, feeling both surprised and delighted, the previous daze thus dissipated. She estimated the pastry recipe in her mind and couldn’t help but laugh:
“Mhm.”
“I will definitely make the ones that Miss likes most!”
Zhou Shen smiled and stroked his beard, while Li Changxing furtively glanced at Li Wu.
Wang Anfeng, who could step straight into the Heavenly Sect, coughed, turning to the suddenly halted Manor Master of the First Estate.
Li Wu, who could cut under Kunlun with one sword, looked up at the sky, pouring wine into his mouth.
PS: Overdraft yesterday… today’s update is a bit less~
Four thousand four hundred words
Additionally, I need to organize the outline~ not much story line left, but I want to handle it delicately, still need to put in effort, for the final closing, I don’t want to leave any speed-induced oversights or regrets
