backyard.
Back in the kitchen, Bai Hao began preparing dinner while pondering what Su Yuewan really meant.
Why did you take him on as an apprentice?
Could it be that he was captivated by his own good looks?
Hmm, thinking about it, that's a possibility. It seems I should be more careful around Su Yuewan in the future, otherwise I might fall into that old woman's trap and lose my innocence.
After preparing dinner, Bai Hao was responsible for delivering it to each disciple, and he ate it last, thus ending his work for the day.
"Phew... I'm exhausted."
Lying in bed, Bai Hao had never felt so tired as he did today.
But today, he had more conflicts with Su Yuewan than usual.
As expected, the problem lay with Su Yuewan.
The most annoying thing is that I have to go see her for guidance on cultivation tomorrow; I don't know what kind of trouble she'll cause.
"Forget it, whatever, time to sleep!"
...
The next day.
Bai Hao got up early and stretched lazily in the morning sunlight.
Poor him, as the head of the kitchen, he has to get up early every morning to make breakfast, and today he has to go find Su Yuewan, which is a real headache.
"Now that I'm the steward and also the sect leader's disciple, I need to find a few people to help me out. I can't do everything myself."
He muttered to himself, about to start preparing breakfast, when a crisp system voice rang in his mind.
"A new day has begun. Wishing you a wonderful day, host. You have been awarded one chance to win a prize."
Should we have a lottery?
Bai Hao wasn't surprised.
In addition to his cultivation level improving a little every day, the system would also reward him with some chances to draw prizes from time to time. Of course, the rewards varied in quality.
For example, in the last lottery he won a book called "Books Children Should Not Read", and the one before that he won "The Jade Man Heart Sutra".
Therefore, Bai Hao had lost much of his passion for lotteries and took a more relaxed approach, choosing to participate in the lottery instead.
"Ding! Successful lottery draw, you have won the 'Dog-Beating Stick'."
A dog-beating stick?
Bai Hao was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly saw the dog-beating stick in the system space. It was called a stick, but it was actually just a crooked tree branch and a very ordinary-looking stick. He figured that if a dog really came, it wouldn't be able to drive it away.
The explanation is also attached to the dog-beating stick:
The Dog-Beating Stick can beat any dog in the world; it can also be used to beat people. No matter what level of cultivation the other party has, as long as they are hit, they will bark like a dog for half an hour (Note: This effect can only be used once).
"The person who gets hit can bark like a dog? That's pretty novel. If anyone bullies me, I'll make them turn into a puppy?"
Sure enough, when it comes to lotteries, you can win anything except good stuff.
It was another useless thing. Bai Hao was used to it, so he put it aside and started making breakfast.
After making breakfast, Bai Hao ate some himself and then delivered it to the other disciples. Finally, he took a bowl of white porridge to Su Yuewan.
...
Yunhai Peak.
As the mountain where the sect leader of the Divine Sea Sect resides, Cloud Sea Peak had been closed until Su Yuewan emerged from seclusion. Only then did it reopen, but not just anyone can go up there.
This was Bai Hao's first time visiting Yunhai Peak. Along the way, he was greeted by birdsong and fragrant flowers, a vibrant and beautiful scene that was far superior to the scenery of other peaks in the Shenhai Sect.
"As expected, the sect leader's residence is still the best," he muttered.
Soon he arrived at a courtyard surrounded by blooming peach blossoms, where the wind blew the flowers, creating a scene resembling a fairyland.
Su Yuewan was in the courtyard, with a desk set up, seemingly painting. Every now and then, she would tuck a strand of her hair that was being blown by the wind behind her, looking incredibly beautiful.
"Sect Master, breakfast is ready." Bai Hao stood obediently at the door, not saying a word.
"Okay, bring it here." Su Yuewan looked up at him, then continued painting.
Bai Hao obediently walked over, placed the porridge on the table, and then glanced at the painting in Su Yuewan's hand. It depicted a beautiful scene of peach blossoms, which seemed to be the scenery of this courtyard.
but……
[That's really ugly, it's not even as good as my drawing.]
"Click!"
Su Yuewan tightened her grip, and the brush in her hand immediately cracked, leaving a shocking scratch on the paper.
"What did you say?!"
"I didn't say anything," Bai Hao said, looking puzzled.
Su Yuewan then realized that what she was hearing was Bai Hao's inner thoughts.
However, that's no reason to forgive him!
How dare you say your own painting is ugly?!
I don't want to live anymore!
She glanced at the white porridge on the table, raised an eyebrow, and said, suppressing her anger.
"Is all you have plain porridge?"
"Well, the sect doesn't have much money left right now, and we can only afford plain porridge for breakfast..." Bai Hao said cautiously, his head down.
What else would you like to eat besides plain congee? It's good enough if there's anything to eat at all.
Although the hen was cooperative yesterday and laid two eggs, I won't tell you that I've already eaten them.
The chickens in the backyard laid eggs?
He actually ate it himself?!
Su Yuewan's lips twitched, and she raised her eyebrows again, seemingly saying something unintentionally.
"But I heard that the chickens in the backyard laid two eggs yesterday?"
"Huh? Sect Master, who told you that? That's not true." Bai Hao was shocked.
Who leaked the information?!
Who betrayed me?!
"No? Maybe I misheard. But with so many chickens in the backyard, there should be quite a few eggs, right?" Su Yuewan said, suppressing a laugh.
“Yes, but I already supplemented the disciples’ meals before you came out of seclusion, so there are indeed no eggs left in the backyard. If you want some, Sect Master, I’ll cook some for you next time,” Bai Hao said, bowing his head.
