Kapitel 26: Chapter 26: A Letter from Home
Early in the morning, as Wang, the attendant, approached the kitchen, she heard faint rustling sounds coming from inside.
Her main responsibility was to take care of the Master's daily needs, and this kitchen was meant for the Master's personal use. No one could enter without her key.
But now there seemed to be someone inside?
"Who's the audacious person who dares to sneak in and steal food?" Wang muttered, her annoyance evident.
She opened the kitchen door and stormed in, ready to confront the intruder.
"Bold move, stealing food... Mas-Master?"
Her words trailed off as she saw Leng Wuyan holding a ladle in one hand and a pot lid in the other, with a few black smudges on her fair cheeks.
"Master, what are you doing?" Wang, utterly puzzled, asked.
"I'm making soup," Leng Wuyan replied.
"Soup?"
Wang glanced at the bubbling black liquid in the pot, shivering involuntarily.
Could anyone drink that?
Leng Wuyan furrowed her eyebrows. "Strange, according to my alchemy experience, the ingredients should be fine. Why does it look so unappetizing?"
"Master, what... kind of soup is this?" Wang carefully inquired.
Leng Wuyan confidently listed the ingredients, "This is a soup made primarily from Thunder Xuan Eagle meat, combined with Blood Essence Demon Fruit, Ten-Thousand-Year Green Spirit Vine, and Snow Bone Ginseng. It has the effect of nourishing the meridians and purifying the qi."
Hearing the ingredient, Wang was left speechless.
Would this be drinkable?
"Master, cooking and alchemy are different. It's not about the effect, but about the appearance, aroma, and taste. Just like how you've already achieved the state of fasting cultivation but still eat occasionally because of the taste," Wang explained cautiously.
Leng Wuyan tilted her head in thought. "That makes sense."
Wang took the ladle from her hand. "If you want to eat something, just tell me. No need to bother yourself."
Leng Wuyan turned away. "You don't understand. This is a form of cultivation."
She actually wanted to make soup for Li Ran herself.
Isn't that what a loving girlfriend does?
"The Master's realm is something I don't understand. However, when it comes to cooking, I'm certainly more knowledgeable than the Master," Wang replied with a smile.
"Right!"
Leng Wuyan's eyes lit up. "Wang, could you teach me how to make soup?"
Wang blinked in surprise. "Huh?"
...
Li Ran walked out of his room, feeling the warmth of the sun on his skin. He stretched lazily.
"What a nice day."
With the Heaven-Seizing Art at his disposal, he no longer needed to meditate to cultivate. His progress soared naturally.
This idle lifestyle was truly enjoyable.
"Enjoying the sunshine, teasing Ah Qin, and courting my Master, life couldn't get any better!"
"I wonder if I'm failing as the main antagonist?"
To be honest, the Hidden Gauze Sect in reality was completely different from the image of a typical dark cult in his mind.
The disciples here got along well, the elders were approachable, and even the Master was adorable.
There was no trace of that ominous vibe.
"Hm?"
A sweet call reached his ears, and Lu Xinran hopped over to him.
"Master, it's been a while!"
"Weren't we together yesterday..."
Ever since he helped her with her breakthrough, she had become even more attached.
He now felt a headache when he saw her.
"One day apart feels like a year~"
With a small box in her hand, she presented it to him.
"For you."
"What's this?" Li Ran asked curiously.
Lu Xinran grinned, "I woke up two hours early just to make you these pastries. They're absolutely delicious!"
"You can cook too?"
Li Ran accepted the box with skepticism. Upon opening it, he recognized the familiar aroma.
"Could this be..."
"Ta-da! Lu's Secret Osmanthus Cake. Master, try it!"
"Another osmanthus cake?"
Li Ran's face turned green.
Last night's osmanthus cake nearly made him vomit.
He was about to leave, but seeing the bloodshot eyes in her gaze, he hesitated. Finally, he reluctantly took a piece and ate it.
To his surprise, it wasn't bad.
"How is it?" Lu Xinran looked at him expectantly.
"It's okay." Li Ran nodded.
"Yeah!"
Lu Xinran jumped up in excitement. "As long as Master likes it, I can make them for you every day!"
"Forget it, thanks though."
"I can also make plum blossom cakes~"
"..."
Lu Xinran chatted with him for a while before being called back for cultivation.
Li Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, an inner disciple approached, holding an envelope. "Holy Son, here's a letter for you."
"A letter? Who would write to me?" Li Ran was curious.
"I don't know. It's from Five Yang City."
Li Ran immediately understood, "It must be a letter from home." He tore open the envelope and took out a piece of jade.
Although it was a letter, it wasn't in the form of paper. Instead, it was a thin piece of jade as a medium, with the information recorded on it.
Only a specific method could be used to view it, otherwise, it would self-destruct.
It was a kind of encrypted communication.
Li Ran infused his spiritual energy into the jade, and a familiar voice sounded directly in his ears.
It was his second uncle.
After a few inquiries about his well-being, the contents of the message left Li Ran dumbfounded.
"I-I have a fiancée?!"
