"Where...where did you learn all this nonsense?!"
Jiang Mu gently tapped Xiangling's head and smiled helplessly.
To be honest, Xiangling's words just now really surprised him.
He almost felt like he was riding a little electric scooter, with Xiangling on the back, speeding down the road...
Oh, right, Xiangling was holding a lollipop in her hand...
Ugh, ugh, ugh, what is all this stuff...?
"whee……"
Xiangling smiled.
"I was just excited to see my brother find a wife, so I wanted to make a joke."
"Huh? Sister-in-law?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu was even more confused.
What does all this have to do with anything?
"Huh?" he wondered to himself.
"I saw you came with Yanfei... cough cough, sister, didn't you? Isn't she your girlfriend?"
"Thump!"
(Does it sound good? If it sounds good, then it's a good start!)
"oops!"
This time, Jiang Mu used a little more force, causing the little guy to squat on the ground, covering his head...
"Brother, why did you hit my head? It'll make me stupid!"
Xiangling said with some grievance.
"If you're going to fight, fight here..."
As she spoke, Xiangling pointed to her little bottom, somewhat embarrassed.
"Cough cough..."
Before Jiang Mu could react, Yan Fei coughed a few times and gave Jiang Mu a kind smile.
"According to the latest laws of Liyue, those who illegally molest girls can be sentenced to imprisonment for more than ten years, detention, or public surveillance. In more serious cases, they may be..."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Jiang Mu waved his hands repeatedly and said.
"I haven't even started yet, how could you..."
"What, do you want to try it yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Fei put her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrows.
"No, no..."
Jiang Mu repeatedly cupped his hands in greeting and chuckled awkwardly.
After all, the person in front of him was none other than the infamous Zhang San of Liyue, who was determined to send his own father to prison...
Uh, no, Zhang San is someone else now.
That's the famous Liyue expert: Luo Yanfei Xiang.
"I know you wouldn't dare..."
With a soft hum, Yan Fei looked at Xiang Ling and smiled slightly.
"I've long heard that Chef Xiangling of Wanmintang has superb culinary skills. I finally managed to take a day off today, and I hope that Sister Xiangling will show off her skills!"
"Okay, okay!"
Xiangling looked at Yanfei, a sly glint in her eyes.
………………
After leading the two to a table and set them up, Xiangling went to the kitchen and shouted!
"Wang Xiaoming!"
"Coming! Miss, what can I do for you?"
A young man wearing an apron came over from the side, looked at Xiangling, and asked with some doubt.
This man was a distant relative of Master Mao's family. He was probably the cousin of the niece of the second uncle's nephew of Xiangling's third aunt's niece. Forced by circumstances, he came to Master Mao's house to find work and make a living.
Master Mao saw that the boy was clever, so he gave him an easy job as a warehouse manager, in charge of looking after the ingredients.
And the young man did not disappoint Master Mao's expectations, doing the job flawlessly.
In his spare time, this kid also likes to go out and explore the magnificent scenery of Liyue, hence his nickname—
Wang Xiaoming's journey never ends.
Ahem, we've gone off on a tangent again.
"Do you remember the batch of ingredients I asked you to secretly keep last time?"
"Um."
Wang Xiaoming nodded, looked at Xiangling, and asked with some doubt.
"Miss, are you perhaps...?"
"Yes, take it out."
Xiangling said excitedly.
Let's pull off something big today!
"ah!"
Wang Xiaoming was shocked and quickly tried to dissuade him.
"Miss, didn't you say you'd use it on Uncle Mao's birthday? Why is it today..."
"Cough cough..." Xiangling coughed lightly a few times, pointed to Jiang Mu sitting outside the door, and said.
"My brother Jiang Mu is back! Knowing his personality, he'll definitely bring me lots of new and interesting ingredients this time. I'm going to give him a big surprise at Dad's birthday banquet..."
"Oh well……"
Wang Xiaoming nodded, looked at Xiangling, and said solemnly.
"Miss, if Uncle Mao asks any questions, please don't leave me behind and run away!"
As he finished speaking, a few tears welled up in Wang Xiaoming's eyes...
"this……"
Hearing this, Xiangling felt a pang of guilt...
"I'll try my best, hehe..."
………………
"Speaking of which, what have you been doing all these years?"
Yan Fei rested her chin on her hands, looking at Jiang Mu with her big, bright eyes blinking rapidly.
"These years..."
A hint of reminiscence flickered in Jiang Mu's eyes.
"Then let me explain it to you briefly."
………………
Jiang Mu knew the importance of tailoring his approach to different people. He would only briefly touch upon other topics, focusing his explanations on the law.
"That's right!"
As he was talking, Jiang Mu slapped his forehead and gave Yan Fei a mysterious smile.
I have a gift for you!
"What gift?"
Hearing this, for some reason, Yan Fei felt a surge of anticipation and excitement, something quite rare for her...
After forcibly suppressing it, Yan Fei crossed her arms and said with a disdainful look.
"You should know that I possess the bloodline of immortals, right?"
"Mm." Jiang Mu nodded gently.
"As an immortal, I've seen all sorts of good things. If your gift is too vulgar, I won't accept it!"
As she spoke, Yan Fei turned her head slightly, tilted her face up, and made a very disdainful expression.
"hehe……"
Jiang Mu just smiled, and then...
"boom!"
Suddenly, a book more than 20 centimeters thick appeared on the table in front of the two of them.
"This is?"
Yan Fei was initially startled, but breathed a sigh of relief after realizing it was just a book.
“You should know that Xumi is a country that values knowledge, right?” Jiang Mu smiled.
"Yes, that's right."
Yan Fei nodded.
"Since they highly value knowledge, they will surely enact a very detailed legal code in order to protect knowledge more comprehensively."
Jiang Mu smiled.
"You mean..."
Suddenly, Yan Fei's eyes lit up.
“That’s right, this is the codex I obtained through an equivalent exchange from Mount Sumeru.”
Jiang Mu smiled and introduced.
"Jiang Mu, I love you to death!!!"
