Chapter 377 Eating
"Li Xiangyi! What did you feed that fox spirit this time?"
Early in the morning, Li Lianhua's furious roar echoed through the Lotus Pavilion.
"Of course it's delicious!" Li Lianzi tumbled down from the second floor, leaning against the door with a smile, watching Li Lianhua feed the fox spirit. "Huahua, you called me by the wrong name. A bet's a bet, you'll have to cook for yourself—"
"Let's do it."
Li Lianhua turned her head and glared at him, patted the fox spirit's head which had become two rounder, stood up and complained, "You're going to turn this fox spirit into a pig! If you keep feeding her like this, I'll cook for you every day!"
Li Lianzi shook her head dramatically: "Then forget it, I don't want that pleasure. You vixen, you're just going to have to suffer without it."
"Cooking? I can do that!"
Fang Duobing hopped out carrying a large bag of pastries.
"Fang Xiaobao, are you done with your morning class? How come you have time to buy pastries?"
As Li Lianzi spoke, she took the pastries from his hands and unceremoniously unwrapped them.
Fang Duobing, who had long been used to being called by his three masters' nicknames, had gradually become desensitized and was no longer embarrassed.
"Early morning prayers don't prevent me from showing respect to my masters—"
“I went with him.”
Li Lianye walked out from behind Fang Duobing.
Seeing the ribs and pork belly in his hands, Li Lianzi's eyes widened in surprise: "What a special day it is today, why did you buy so many vegetables?"
"I'm in a good mood today, so it's naturally a good day."
Li Lianye spoke bluntly; having spent so much time with others, his skin had grown thicker.
“Sigh—” Li Lianzi shook her head regretfully, “That’s too unfortunate. Li Lianhua broke the rules and called the wrong name. He’s in charge of cooking today.”
"ah?"
Fang Duobing couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and then was hit by a garlic clove that flew out of the kitchen: "What the hell? Come in and help me!"
"Alright, Master."
Fang Duobing couldn't wait to go in, not only out of filial piety towards his master, but also mainly for the sake of his stomach.
“That’s easy,” Li Lianye said, continuing her walk towards the kitchen without stopping. “We’ll eat what we make, and you can eat what Li Lianhua makes.”
"No, why should I eat it if he fouled?"
"If you're so capable, then let him eat it himself—" Li Lianye paused, looking at him with ill intent, "I forgot to tell you, Li Lianhua has fully recovered. Do you think you, the near-number one in the world, can defeat him, the current number one in the world?"
"Why can't you beat them?"
Li Lianzi was unconvinced and rolled up her sleeves, shouting towards the kitchen, "Li Lianhua, let's have a contest!"
"I'm busy, don't bother me while I'm cooking!"
"snort!"
Seeing that the three of them had gathered in the kitchen, Li Lianzi wandered around for a moment and decided to go upstairs to wake up her senior brother who was still in bed.
"Senior brother, wake up, wake up, it's time for breakfast!"
...
"Senior brother! Senior brother, I'm your own junior brother! Senior brother!"
Li Lianzi dodged left and right, but she couldn't avoid the vegetable leaves that Lan Yan, who was sitting at the table, casually threw out.
One patch on his head and another on his face, Fang Duobing, who was watching from the sidelines, was trembling all over from trying not to laugh.
Li Lianhua and Li Lianye, on the other hand, had no scruples whatsoever; not only did they have no scruples, they also loved to kick someone when they were down.
"Tsk, Lianzi's graceful steps aren't up to par."
"Tsk, the title of 'Number One in the World' is not so secure."
"She's still young."
"Still too arrogant."
Each sentence was louder than the last, which angered Li Lianzi so much that she directly shifted the blame: "Senior brother, it's not that I wanted to disturb you, it's just that they insisted that I wake you up to taste their cooking!"
"!"
"without……"
Before the two could explain, two leaves flew out of nowhere and hit their faces. Very good, now all of Li Xiangyi's treatment is the same.
"puff……"
Before Fang Duobing could finish laughing, a familiar leaf landed on his face with a "smack".
"Treat everyone equally, do you have any objections?"
The seemingly unwell Demon King smiled gently, but no one dared to object, and they all shook their heads in unison. It wasn't until Lan Yan went upstairs that the four of them remembered to remove the food from their faces.
"What level is my eldest uncle?" Fang Duobing asked curiously.
Li Lianhua turned her head and looked at him quietly: "He's capable of beating two and a half world's best plus a newbie."
"Why should I be considered half the best in the world?" Li Lianzi retorted.
"Am I still a newbie?" Fang Duobing asked incredulously.
Suddenly, Lan Yan's voice came from the second floor: "I hope we can have dinner on time."
"Okay!"
Suddenly, both the near-number one and the newbie were fine. Some were washing vegetables, some were stir-frying, and the fish that were mixed in with the real thing... um?
"Li Lianzi! Adding salt isn't sugar! That's soy sauce, not vinegar!"
"Get out!" *3
"I'm just not skilled enough..."
Before she could explain, Li Lianzi was ruthlessly refused entry to the kitchen.
"Honestly, they won't even give me a chance to try it." Li Lianzi muttered as she sat back down at the table, happily unwrapping the pastries and savoring them.
There's nothing we can do about it; he's only been in the martial arts world for a short time, and he's still just a 14-year-old kid, hehe—
...
The meal was officially served, and the five of them sat around the table, which was laden with delicious dishes, representing the best of their abilities.
"Senior brother, you should try it first."
Li Lianzi, with a look of eagerness, picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks and placed it in Lan Yan's bowl.
If people didn't know that he had just asked in the kitchen whether the dish was made by Li Lianhua and then specially served it to Lan Yan, they might believe that he was being sincere.
Under the expectant gazes of the four, Lan Yan slowly picked up his chopsticks, put them in his mouth, and chewed... "Not bad."
"Um?"
Seeing that Lan Yan's expression was normal and that he gave such an evaluation, Li Lianzi was surprised.
Lan Yan added, "It has a very rich flavor."
Li Lianzi was still a little doubtful, so she turned to look at Li Lianhua, who said seriously, "I've already recovered, how could the taste be bad?"
"That makes sense!"
Fang Duobing was the first to be persuaded. Without hesitation, he picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth, chewing... "It's really good."
Seeing that Fang's illness seemed quite normal, Li Lianzi picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth, "..."
"vomit--"
Li Lianzi couldn't help but vomit, and Fang Duobing finally couldn't resist drinking a lot of tea, leaving only Lan Yan with a normal complexion.
"You little rascal, Fang Xiaobao..."
Li Lianzi pointed at Fang Duobing with trembling hands. "Damn it! Fang Xiaobao managed to fool him!"
"The eldest master started it."
Li Lianzi looked at Lan Yan with a wronged expression, while Lan Yan looked completely innocent: "Tell me, isn't it incredibly flavorful?"
It's sweet, salty, bitter, and astringent. How could such a chaotic mix of flavors not be good?
Unable to argue with Lan Yan, Li Lianzi turned to Li Lianhua: "Haven't you recovered everything?"
“It has been restored,” Li Lianhua said innocently. “I just like innovation.”
