Chapter 379 and 381 Breakfast

“Isn’t the word 'good-looking' too superficial? Have I said that before? And it’s obvious that the Seventh Young Master rushed here overnight. He just looks a little haggard, but you can’t say he doesn’t look good. You haven’t seen his former radiant appearance, with his own spotlight effect.” Wang Lin said with some emotion. God knows what the Seventh Young Master had experienced before. He seemed to be filled with a feeling of sadness.

When Ning Qingyun carried Xuanxuan back to the next yard, Xuanxuan fell asleep sweetly in his arms. Looking at his daughter's smiling sleeping face, Ning Qingyun couldn't help but lower his head and kiss his daughter's cheek.

After gently placing the child on the bed and covering him with a quilt, Ning Qingyun frowned unconsciously. It had been warm everywhere in the yard next door just now, but now that he was back in their yard, it was cold everywhere.

"Captain Qi, why is there no stove in this room? Go light a stove, don't let my daughter get frozen." Ning Qingyun ordered Qi Sanbing behind him.

Qi Sanbing looked at the stove in the living room. He Wen had just added charcoal to the coal stove in the living room as she was planning to cook for Ning Qingyun. The stove was still glowing with fire.

"Boss, lighting a stove in the bedroom can easily lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, which is dangerous." Qi Sanbing said with some embarrassment.

"Then why is it so warm in the next room? Aren't they afraid of being poisoned?" Ning Qingyun looked at Qi Sanbing with a bad look.

"They, they laid plumbing pipes throughout the house." And there were three stoves in the living room, the fire was burning day and night, hiss, how much coal would be burned? The price of coal was so expensive, tut tut, Madam Rong is really rich, Qi Sanbing thought silently in his heart.

"Then why don't you make the bed?" Ning Qingyun saw Xuanxuan curled up and quickly took another quilt to cover Xuanxuan.

"Boss, the coal is too expensive. We light the stove every day just to cook, but it's only on for a short while. The water in the plumbing pipes is heated, but it will cool down quickly. It's ineffective. Besides, we're a bunch of grown men with thick skin and aren't afraid of the cold." Qi Sanbing said with a silly smile on his face.

He Wen, who had short hair, couldn't help but give him a blank look.

Ning Qingyun looked at his daughter who was curled up in a ball, and touched her hands and feet. They were cold. He didn't know why his wife had ignored him. If his daughter got frozen again, he would have no way to explain himself.

"Go light a stove and let the coal burn fully. If smoke doesn't come into the house, there won't be carbon monoxide poisoning, right? I won't sleep tonight, so just watch the stove." Ning Qingyun frowned unhappily and gave the order again. He also understood the causes of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Yunshan had been with him for so many years and never let him worry about such things. It didn't matter to him if he lived a little rough and hard life when he was alone, but now his daughter was here, and she was so young. What if she caught a cold?

"No, no need, boss. I'll let you watch over it. You don't know how long you haven't had a good rest. Your eyes are red! I'll go light the stove now." Zi Ting happened to bring a bowl of hot soup and saw Ning Qingyun's unhappy expression, so he hurriedly said.

"Yes, yes, yes, boss, I'll take care of it. We'll take turns watching the stove. You eat something and have a good rest." Qi Sanbing quickly expressed his opinion.

The two men left Ning Qingyun's room and went out to discuss installing the stove.

"Just install the stove if your boss asks you to. Why are you complaining about this? If you're worried about gas poisoning, can't you find a solution yourself? You're an adult, do you understand what's best? Why did Doctor Chai choose you to lead the team?" Zi Ting gave Qi Sanbing a helpless look.

"Okay, okay, you're the only sensible one, but we only have one stove in the living room! It's so late, where can I find a new stove?" Qi Sanbing said in embarrassment, grabbing his hair.

"You're stupid! I have to tell you to dismantle the stove in the living room and install it in the bedroom before you understand what to do!" Zi Ting rolled his eyes.

"Oh, that's right!" The two people hurriedly dismantled the stove in the living room, put the still burning fire on an iron shovel beside it, installed the stove in Ning Qingyun's room, and then put the fire back.

Ning Qingyun did not refuse the two people's request to help watch over the stove. He was already very tired physically and mentally. Now he really needed a good night's rest. He had to go to meet Huo Ye and the others at noon tomorrow. Tonight was New Year's Eve, and he had to meet Xianxian in the best possible manner.

Xuanxuan woke up early the next morning. At this time in the past, she would meditate and practice with her mother and brother. When she opened her eyes, she saw Ning Qingyun sleeping on the outside of her.

Xuanxuan's facial features are very similar to Ning Qingyun's, except that Xuanxuan's facial contours are softer. Although the little girl's appearance has not yet fully grown, it can be seen that she is a natural beauty.

Ning Qingyun slept next to his daughter, feeling happy and at ease. After a good night's sleep, his complexion looked much better. There was a red, thin, shallow scabbed wound on his cheek, which was caused by the jade talisman fragments last night. This wound was deeper than the one on his hand. Even though the cultivator's body repair ability was much stronger than that of ordinary people, this wound had not yet been completely healed.

As soon as his daughter opened her eyes, Ning Qingyun also woke up quickly. He opened his eyes and greeted Xuanxuan with a smile, "Good morning, Xuanxuan."

"Good morning, Dad." Xuanxuan greeted him seriously, imitating Ning Qingyun's tone.

Then he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Ning Qingyun saw her daughter laughing happily and started laughing too.

After Ning Qingyun carried her daughter out of the room, He Wen went into Ning Qingyun's room and used the stove to boil water and cook. Their breakfast was the same as usual, still a broth made with dried meat and wild vegetables.

After the tough and dry jerky was cooked until soft, it gave off a strange fishy smell. Qi Sanbing and the others had obviously gotten used to this smell. In fact, although most monster meat is edible, many jerky made from monster meat have a very bad taste, either the meat is tough or sour and fishy. Moreover, the texture of the meat from different parts of the same monster is also different. It was only because of Rong Xianxian's experience in her previous life and after a long period of trial and error that she figured out which monster's meat is delicious, how to cook it to make it delicious, or which part of the meat is more delicious.

He Wen was afraid that Xuanxuan couldn't bite it, so she picked the softest part, cut it into very small cubes with a knife, and pushed it in front of her.

Xuanxuan bit her lip and looked up at Ning Qingyun, "Dad, Xuanxuan is not hungry."

Although Xuanxuan is young, she is already a practitioner at the Chongmai realm. She has a very sensitive nose. Just by smelling this scent, she loses her appetite.
