The truth was, not every female protagonist had the cooking skills of a master chef.

For example, this one.

Ming Shu kept her faith in not wasting any food and finished the food with much effort. She took out the stone from her sleeve and stuffed it into Zi Luo’s hand. Before Zi Luo could react, she left without turning back.

Zi Luo was left holding the stone. “…”

Was that a look of disdain she gave her just now?

Zi Luo looked at the stone. It was emitting green light and although she didn’t know what it was, she knew that it was not a normal item.

Zi Luo didn’t know what to say. She felt that she should not take something so precious and went to look for Ming Shu a few times.

However, she didn’t manage to find her.

But, she met some people who were looking for Ming Shu to cause trouble and when they were quarreling, she accidentally dropped some blood on the stone. The stone and her started to build a connection, and she realized that she could keep absorbing the Qi within the stone. Her cultivation level rose.

“Junior Sister, what are you doing!”

The girl that was crawling through the window got frightened by the sound and immediately jumped down. She looked at the person in embarrassment. “Lin… Lin Jin, Senior Brother. I am… I am looking for Xuan Ji.”

Lin Jin remembered this girl, but…

“Why are you crawling through her window if you are looking for her?”

Zi Luo’s face turned red from Lin Jin’s suspicion. “I can’t find her so I wanted to… wait for her in her room. I am not doing anything bad.”

She waved her hands furiously at the end.

Lin Jin was still suspicious. Zi Luo almost wanted to bury herself in the ground from the embarrassment when he finally said, “She should be near the kitchen at this hour. However, she doesn’t like people disturbing her. What is the matter?”

“Ah… no.” Zi Luo shook her head and then nodded. “Yes. I have something to talk to her about.”

“Personal stuff?”

“Yes.”

“Let me help you ask her.” Lin Jin’s cultivation was going really well recently and his temper got much better. He said, “Wait here.”

Zi Luo looked up in surprise. “Thanks, Senior Brother Lin Jin.”

When Lin Jin found Ming Shu, she was sitting on a stool and munching on a bun. The disciples in the kitchen were cooking some food and occasionally glanced at Ming Shu with vigilance.

There was a colorful riceball squatting beside her. Lin Jin was able to see it from his standpoint, but the colorful riceball disappeared when he walked nearer.

Lin Jin was puzzled. Was it an illusion?

It shouldn’t be… He had seen it numerous times. but never get to look at it closely and see what it was.

“Xuan Ji.” Lin Jin looked at her face and saw that her mood was not bad. He then said, “There is a Zi Luo Junior Sister that is looking for you. It seemed really urgent. She even climbed through your window.”

Ming Shu bit her bun and looked at him sideways. She said softly, “Tell her that that thing is rightfully hers. If she really feels sorry, ask her to hone her cooking skills.”

“Huh?”

What is this?

Lin Jin scratched his head and noticed that Ming Shu’s attention was directed at the kitchen again. He was speechless. Why did she look as though she was ready to rob the kitchen at any time?

The disciples in the kitchen were very stressed too. It was not just Lin Jin, they also felt that Ming Shu would come in a rob them any moment.

Lin Jin brought her words to Zi Luo in confusion.

She didn’t know how Lin Jin persuaded Zi Luo, but when Ming Shu came back to her room, Zi Luo was not there anymore.

She washed up and lay on her bed.

She lived alone in the room. Thus, it was very quiet.

Ming Shu rested there. Her breathing was calm. The moonlight shone on her face and made her looked extra gentle.

No one could tell if she was asleep or not.

A shadow suddenly appeared on the silvered floor.

“Do you have a habit of sneaking into people’s room at night, Master?”

A clear voice sounded immediately after the shadow appeared.

The man grunted. He was either surprised or he was just making a sound to reply to her.

Yan Yin found a spot and sat down. His upper body was in darkness while his lower body was bathed in the moonlight.

“I only like to sneak into your room. What can I do?”

Ming Shu opened her eyes and with the help of the moonlight, she looked toward the person in her room. “Which leg likes to sneak into my room?”

“Both of them.”

“Then chop them off.” Ming Shu grabbed a kitchen knife from beneath her pillow and got down from her bed.

The kitchen knife gave off a chilly gleam in the moonlight.

Yan Yin: “…”

What problem does she have!

She hides a kitchen knife under her pillow!

“Was the stab wound last time not enough to prove that I have no evil intentions toward you?” Yan Yin continued sitting and watched Ming Shu holding the kitchen knife as she walked over.

“But I do.” Ming Shu smiled.

“What did I do to provoke you?”

The light was completely blocked.

The girl stabbed the kitchen knife into the wooden table beside him. Kuang— it made a loud sound.

She placed one leg on the stool beside the table. She looked exactly like a gangster who was trying to flirt with an innocent girl.

However, the girl wasn’t fierce at all. She smiled. “Everything about you provokes me, from you as a person to your entire dress code.”

Yan Yin could feel the hot air coming from her as she neared him.

It was like a fire that suddenly appeared in winter.

Bright and warm.

Yan Yin looked up and stared into the girl’s eyes. He was not afraid of death. His lazy voice had a hint of frivolousness as he said, “What would you like me to wear then? I can wear it for you to see.”

“I can wear it for you to see?”

Ming Shu: “…”

Wait a minute.

Something is wrong.

Where’re my snacks!

Quickly give them to me. I need to calm down.

There is a crazy person here!

Ming Shu pulled the kitchen knife out from the table and placed it at Yan Yin’s throat. She instinctively leaned closer and looked into his eyes. “I stabbed you last time. Do you not hate me?”

The knife was right at his throat. Yan Yin didn’t dare move. “It allowed you to see my true intentions. Aren’t you satisfied?”

Why the hell would I be satisfied!

I just want you to get angry and hate me.

Why is it so difficult?

“If you are not satisfied, you can stab me again,” Yan Yin said and made to throw himself at the knife.

Ming Shu quickly moved the knife away.

She threw him to the ground and stepped on his chest. “Do you think that you can get the stone by doing this? I am sorry, I have already given the stone to someone else. You should stop wasting your energy and stop trying to seduce me with your beauty.”

Ming Shu was thrown off by an invisible force and Yan Yin jumped up. There was a sword in his hand and he pointed the tip toward Ming Shu’s chest. “Gave it to someone? Who did you give it to?”

Ming Shu grinned and said in an irritating tone, “I am not telling you. Let me piss you off to death.”

Yan Yin didn’t want to hurt Ming Shu with his sword. It was there to prevent her from throwing him to the ground again.

However, he felt like killing her here and now.

Yan Yin used a lot of effort and calmed himself down. “There is only one blue-sea stone every ten thousand years. Do you know how precious it is?”

“That’s why I gave it to someone.”

It was precious, so I gave it as a present.

There is nothing wrong with this.

Yan Yin: “…”

Are you stupid!

You gave that thing away, gave it away…

Who did you give it to?

Who is worthy of such a precious gift?

She doesn’t seem to have any friends and there aren’t any elders that she is close to. She would have been kicked out of the sect because of Elder Xu if it wasn’t for me.

Is it someone she likes?

Right…

She is very close to that guy Lin Jin and his cultivation level increased a lot recently. Did she give it to him?

Yan Yin didn’t realize that he believed what Ming Shu said entirely.

He naturally believed her when she said that she gave it to someone already.
