Chapter 97 Shen, the Good Man, and an Unexpected Guest (2/2)



Seeing that Shen Jue was reading attentively, Kleedo continued, "Of course, the most important thing in alchemy is to have a heart that loves alchemy. Only then can you truly grasp the essence of alchemy."

After listening, Shen Jue nodded in agreement. Alchemy was indeed a rare and valuable skill.

Shen Jue thanked Kleedo again, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Master. I have no way to repay you."

Critto: "No, you do. If you really want to thank me, don't let me leave alone in the middle of the night. The deep sea at night is very dangerous!"

Shen Jue's inner voice was buzzing with malice: "Heh, I don't believe you for a second. All the people Lu Lu Mu knows are mysterious masters. Why would they be afraid of the deep sea at night?"

Anyway, Shen Jue wouldn't believe such an explanation.

The reason Clidor said that was probably not because he wanted to stay overnight, but because he really wanted to stay and eat there for free.

What could she do? After all, this master had taught her the unique art of alchemy.

This alone is definitely not enough for one meal.

Since this master enjoys food, what harm is there in letting him stay for a few days?

Thinking of this, Shen Jue laughed, "Alright, Master Kleedo. You're right, I shouldn't have let you go into the Night Sea alone, after all, the dangers of the deep sea are real."

When Klee heard that Shen Jue had agreed to his request, he laughed along. "Haha, that's wonderful!"

Kleedo was secretly pleased. It seemed that Shen Jue was sensible after all, and he wouldn't have to worry about food for a while.

I'll stay here and see if I can learn a little cooking.

“Then, Master, you can stay here tonight,” Shen Jue suggested. “There are several rooms on the first floor of the villa; you can stay in any room you like.”

Hearing Shen Jue's words, Kleedo was even happier. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Shen Jue arranged a comfortable room for Klido to stay in. Klido rested in the room for a while, then went out to chat with Shen Jue.

Shen Jue saw Kleedo and asked with a smile, "Master Kleedo, is there anything else you need?"

Kleedo shook his head. "No, I'm already very content. Thank you, you're such a kind person."

Shen Jue smiled. "No need to thank me, Master Kleedo. If you need anything, just let me know."

Kleedo nodded. "Okay, Shen Jue. I will."

Afterwards, Shen Jue chatted with Kleedo for a while, and then they each went back to their rooms to rest.

While Kleedo stayed in the villa, she returned to the Chinese courtyard to rest. Before going to sleep, she ordered Qingfeng to guard her, and she dared not sleep too soundly.

Although Kleedo seems foolish, Shen Jue has no idea about his strength and can only be extremely cautious.

Thankfully, the night went smoothly.

The next morning, Shen Jue got up early and went to Kleedo's room.

She knocked on the door and asked, "Master, are you awake?"

There was no response; he must not be awake.

Never mind, it's only 6 o'clock now. Because it's winter, it's not bright enough yet.

Shen Jue ran to the training ground and started warming up.

Let's stretch our muscles and practice our swordsmanship.

Before we knew it, an hour and a half had passed. The sky was slowly beginning to brighten.

Sheathing his sword, he heard Kleedo's voice from the side, "That was a really good fight."

Shen Jue turned around, took out a towel, and wiped his sweat.

"Master? You're up."

Hearing Shen Jue's reply, Kleedo smiled and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, the bed in the room was so comfortable that I accidentally overslept. Also, I wanted to ask what we're having for breakfast?"

While wiping his sweat, Shen Jue replied, "Breakfast is ready. It's in the villa's dining room; it just needs to be heated up. Master, please wait a moment in the dining room. I'll be right back."

Kleedo nodded. "Okay."

Kleedo ran wildly towards the restaurant, and Shen Jue watched Kleedo's retreating figure, wanting to laugh.

How come this master acts like he hasn't eaten anything good in 800 years?

Oh dear, she needs to wash up quickly.

Shortly after, Shen Jue came out of the room with her hair down, without even drying it, and went to the restaurant.

She had already installed various kitchen appliances in the restaurant.

Shen Jue took out a large bag and heated up the steamed buns and soy milk, as well as Western-style bread and milk.

Seeing so much delicious food, Klido excitedly and curiously asked Shen Jue what kind of food it was.

Shen Jue answered them one by one.

After breakfast, Shen Jue and Kleedo discussed alchemy for a while.

Klido taught Shen Jue a great deal about alchemy, from which Shen Jue benefited immensely.

Klido also asked Shen Jue for some cooking tips, and Shen Jue patiently answered them all.

And so, over the next few days...

Shen Jue and Kleedo went from being at peace to developing a mutual respect and friendship. They spent a few pleasant days together.

That noon, Clito suddenly received a message from his good friend.

Yang asked where Clito was now, as he was in a very precarious situation and hoped to seek refuge with him.

Kleedo couldn't agree directly; he needed to ask Shen Jue's opinion.

"Shen Jue, I have a good friend who has lost his way at sea. He has no sense of direction and wants to come to me for help. Can I let him come?"

"I promise I won't let him come up for free. I'll make sure he teaches you a unique skill."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jue was astonished. "Such a good thing?"

"sure!"

Shen Jue readily agreed, "Since he's your good friend, he must be someone you can trust. Of course, we can take him in and let him stay here temporarily."

"Thank you, Shen Jue!" Kleedo said gratefully.

Subsequently, Clyde sent a reply to Sun, agreeing to let him come and join him.

A few days later, Yang arrived at Shen Jue's raft.

He looked somewhat disheveled, clearly having been adrift at sea for a long time. However, when he saw Kleedo and Shen Jue, a glint immediately flashed in his eyes.

“Krido, thank you for taking me in!” Yang said gratefully. “I really don’t know how to repay your life-saving grace.”

“It’s nothing, Yang. We’re good friends, so of course I’ll help you if you’re in trouble. But you should thank the owner of this raft, not me. Her name is Shen Jue, and she’s the one who agreed to let you come and stay with her,” Kleedo said with a smile.

"Thank you, Shen Jue." Yang looked at Shen Jue gratefully. "Thank you so much for giving me a temporary place to stay. I will definitely repay you."

Shen Jue smiled and waved his hand. "Yang, you're too kind. You're Master Kleedo's friend, which means you're my friend too. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask within my capabilities."

Yang nodded gratefully, then turned to Kleedo, "Kleedo, you know what? I was really screwed over by Lulumu."

Kleedo looked at Yang curiously, "Oh? You got scammed by that old man too?"

Yang spoke of this with righteous indignation, "Yes, he said that as long as I worked for him, he would give me a high-level weapon. After that, I drifted at sea for several days and couldn't contact him at all. That old man disappeared. If it weren't for the fact that you were the closest to me in the range of the communicator, I might have really starved to death."

Kleedo frowned, expressing sympathy for Yang's plight. He patted Yang on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, brother, I'll help you. Now, let's eat first. After that old guy finishes his mission, we'll go find him and settle the score, making him give you an explanation."

Shen Jue also welcomed Yang and said that Yang must be hungry after drifting at sea for several days. Since it was mealtime, why not have a meal together and chat while we eat?

At lunchtime, Yang, who was tasting Shen Jue's cooking for the first time, was amazed. "My God! Did you make this? It's absolutely delicious!"

Faced with Yang's praise, Shen Jue smiled but remained silent.

Kleedo: "Isn't it delicious? Not everyone can taste Shen Jue's cooking. You have to show your sincerity."

Yang thought for a moment with a troubled expression, "I don't have a very presentable gift. How about this, Shen Jue, I'll teach you a skill to identify objects."

Shen Jue smoothed things over, saying, "No rush, let's talk about it after we finish eating."

So, the entire lunch break was spent catching up and chatting with Kleedo and Yang.

After finishing his meal, Yang suddenly remembered something very important.

"Before I sent you this message, I received a distress signal from Balsa. She seems to be in danger."

Clidor's expression immediately turned serious. He asked, "Balsa? Where is she?"

Yang replied, "She seems to be at sea as well. I tried to contact her, but the signal suddenly dropped."

Klido pondered for a moment, then said, "Could Balsa have been tricked into coming here by Lulumu as well?"

Yang replied, "She came along voluntarily, but I think she was probably tricked by Lulumu too."

Kleedo nodded and said, "So what do we do now?"

Yang thought for a moment and said, "I'll try again to see if I can contact her. There's just one more thing..."

Yang didn't finish his sentence, but looked at Shen Jue.

Shen Jue immediately understood, "It's alright, saving your friend is the most important thing, contact them right away!"

Clicaud: "If Balsa comes, he'll have to teach Shen Jue a skill too."

Yang nodded. Of course, he had already taught them, and Balsa couldn't fall behind.

Yang tried to contact Balsa. The call connected, and Yang asked urgently, "Balsa, where are you now?"

Balsa replied, "I am on an unknown black sea, surrounded by huge waves, and I am lost..."

Yang said, "Don't worry, we'll come pick you up right away. Can you tell us your exact location?"

Balsa revealed his location, and Yang immediately used his abilities to maneuver the raft toward Balsa.

On the way to rescue Balsa, Klido said to Shen Jue, "Once we rescue Balsa, she can teach you a new ability."

Shen Jue was pleasantly surprised: "Really? What skills can she teach me?" (Could such a good thing really happen?)

Kleedo laughed and said, "This ability is called 'telepathy'."

Telepathy sounds like a very powerful ability.

Shen Jue was looking forward to this rescue mission.
