Ye Xiruo smiled broadly upon receiving Xiu Qiyu's praise: "Thank you so much, Brother Xiu Qi." Brother Xiu Qi is truly a lucky star! Ever since he came, every meal she eats has been a royal experience. Before, there were pancakes, pickles, cold dishes, and finally, a bowl of spirit egg custard.
"Senior Brother, it seems I've arrived just in time!" A young man in a blue-green Taoist robe carried a huge wild boar on one arm and waved to Xiu Qiyu with the other, a warm smile on his noble face.
Xiu Qiyu's chopsticks didn't stop as she elegantly gnawed off a piece of rib.
He then put down his chopsticks, glanced at Qing Zhiyi indifferently, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. It was as if he were saying, "You've come at the worst possible time."
Qing Zhiyi seemed oblivious to Xiu Qiyu's cold stare, and instead turned to Ye Xiruo: "Hello, young lady. I've been entrusted by my senior brother to deliver the prey to you."
Upon hearing about food, Ye Xiruo's eyes lit up. Then, seeing that Qing Zhiyi was dragging several prey of various sizes behind her, she quickly thanked her, "Thank you so much! Why don't you sit down and eat with us?"
Qingzhiyi glanced furtively at her senior brother, and sure enough, his face had returned to its icy expression, but she was already used to it.
Upon closer inspection, Ye Xiruo appeared to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a delicate face, her hair styled in two buns, and a pair of large, dark eyes that shone brightly, giving off the feeling of high-quality spirit stones. In particular, her smile had a gentle, spring-like quality.
Qingzhiyi sat down. On the table was a large, red pot that emitted a strong aroma. Underneath the pot was a low-grade fire spirit stone providing heat.
"You've hunted too much prey. What are we going to do with all of it?" Ye Xiruo asked, somewhat troubled. Before, there wasn't enough meat to eat; now there's too much.
Oh no, he didn't know how many to hit. Since it was his senior brother's order, the more the better.
"But it's okay, we can make it into beef jerky, pork jerky, and cured meat." Just thinking about all that food made Ye Xiru's mouth water.
"I'll do whatever you say."
Qingzhiyi imitated Xiu Qiyu by putting the vegetables into the pot and then quickly scooping them out. They were a little spicy, but the taste was quite unique.
"tasty."
Xiu Qiyu exuded a chilling aura, and her chopsticks moved even faster.
After Ye Xiruo once again confirmed that no one could resist the temptation of hot pot, he was naturally in a great mood and then his appetite was whetted.
As expected, potatoes are the best. Ye Xiruo squinted her eyes and suddenly placed a piece of beef on her plate.
Looking up, she met Xiu Qiyu's slightly serious face: "Eat more meat."
Qingzhi buried his face completely in the bowl; he couldn't see anything. "This gentle man can't be the senior brother."
He finally understood why his junior sister had been so desperate, even nearly going mad with fear. In the hearts of all women, their senior brother was a legend, a sacred figure. Before, he had always been a cold swordsman standing above all living beings; although they felt regret, they harbored no jealousy or resentment.
But now, there are people who are able to get close to the senior brother, and even gain his special attention. How can they not feel desperate and go crazy?
"The beef rolls are all gone." Ye Xiruo blinked. She had clearly cut several large plates of them. How could they be gone in such a short time?
Qingzhiyi gave a wry smile. Her senior brother had actually resorted to such tactics. All he had done was glance at Ye Xiruo a couple of times. Yet he had quickly finished his beef roll, trying to get rid of him.
Is he that easy to get rid of?
"Senior Brother, is there any more in the kitchen? I'll go get it."
"I've cut it all up." Xiu Qiyu glanced at Qing Zhiyi indifferently.
Qingzhiyi opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately remained silent. Her senior brother had already broken too many rules for this girl, Ye. He could remain calm no matter what happened in the future.
"There seem to be three pieces of beef in the kitchen. Go and cut them. Remember to freeze the meat with your inner energy first, and then slice them thinly." Ye Xiruo instructed Qing Zhiyi with all her heart.
Qingzhiyi was no fool; with his wind attribute, he sliced off a piece of meat almost instantly. Then, the second and third pieces quickly transformed into beautiful beef rolls.
However, this meal was indeed quite energy-consuming. It required ice-attribute true energy, cutting the meat also required true energy, and there were also fire spirit stones at the bottom of the pot. It was not something an ordinary person could enjoy, but this Miss Ye was undoubtedly exceptionally intelligent, able to come up with such a strange and unusual way of eating.
"Wow, what beautiful beef rolls!" Some are shaped like roses, some like small animals, and some like mythical beasts; each roll is incredibly lifelike.
"Thanks."
Xiu Qiyu's face grew even colder; the second son was still as flamboyant as ever.
"If your strength were as beautiful as this flower, you would be even more perfect."
Qingzhiyi sat down silently, not wanting to say another word. Her senior brother was so petty, so narrow-minded.
Next, he planned to eat quietly and absolutely not say another word.
For a moment, the atmosphere among the three became a little awkward. After Ye Xiruo ate some more vegetables, a few sweet potato chips, and a few slices of beef, she was almost done.
Seeing this, Xiu Qiyu also put down her chopsticks: "I'm done eating too."
"Second son, take your time eating. You can be self-sufficient with whatever you have in the kitchen and in the yard."
Qingzhiyi was on the verge of tears: "Yes, thank you, Senior Brother."
Xiu Qiyu inspected the prey in the yard; they were all animals with good meat quality, so it seemed that the second son hadn't been slacking off.
"Keep one wild boar, and freeze the rest so they can last longer."
"How ingenious!" Isn't this the principle behind a refrigerator? The ancients were indeed very advanced.
Xiu Qiyu quickly froze all the prey, then instructed Qing Zhiyi: "After you finish eating, put these things in the cellar, clean up the wild boar, and then you can leave."
It really is something you just throw away after you've used it!
As usual, Ye Xiruo brewed a pot of "Soul Cleansing" tea, and the two of them drank it silently in the study.
"You are a disciple of the sect."
I guess so!
"What do you mean 'consider'? You must be very powerful in your sect!"
"It's alright, he's a little better than an idiot like the second son."
The idiot second brother in the courtyard: "How can you slander your junior brother like that?" The image of the eldest brother is really getting more and more ruined.
"Don't say that, he's really skilled. He cuts meat so well and so quickly, he's a top-notch chef!"
The chef outside the door was quite skilled: "These two are indeed a perfect match, their tongues are both incredibly sharp."
Sunset Valley.
"What did you say?" Ye Xiruo asked, somewhat uncertainly.
"Disciple of Luoxia Valley".
"Then you must know Senior Brother."
We met once.
"Is he some kind of superhuman with three heads and six arms?!" Ye Xiruo's gossipy heart burned brightly.
