“No, there’s another problem,” Bai Qingqing said.
"Host, didn't you just say it was the last question?" Xiao Hao suddenly became weak and asked cautiously.
"Are you afraid I'll ask?" Bai Qingqing asked, her tone slightly raised, "Are you hiding something from me?"
"Xiao Hao and the host are one. If the host is well, then Xiao Hao is well." Xiao Hao immediately said righteously, "Xiao Hao is the host's warm little cotton-padded jacket."
Bai Qingqing's eyes twitched as she listened.
"Host, feel free to ask any questions you may have. As long as you have the necessary permissions, Xiao Hao can answer them," Xiao Hao said with great enthusiasm.
Bai Qingqing took a breath.
These words sound grand at first glance, but in reality they are all empty.
"I just wanted to ask, wouldn't it require a lot of energy to elevate the Niu Hall Masters to the half-step Immortal Realm?" Bai Qingqing asked.
Xiao Hao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
He had mentally rehearsed this question beforehand, so he said it without hesitation: "Everyone expends the same amount of energy, but the improvement of one's realm is random."
"Oh." Bai Qingqing suddenly realized, "You guys weren't very meticulous in this regard. But it's still excellent."
It is indeed excellent.
Think about it, they improved their strength because of you, so they must owe you some kind of karma, right?
Just look at those few gang leaders, don't you know? They were very polite and courteous to me.
I originally thought it was because of the Bull Demon King, but it turns out there's another connection.
Given enough time, Xiao Hao will definitely be able to raise a bunch of half-step immortal realm cultivators. At that time, won't he be able to roam freely across the five continents?
Just thinking about it is wonderful!
"Xiao Hao, how long is the cooldown time for your energy to advance your realm?" Bai Qingqing asked again.
"Random," Xiao Hao answered crisply.
They've completely lost their way with Bai Qingqing.
Instead of paying attention to Xiao Hao, Bai Qingqing focused on studying the job posting price list.
With the goal of keeping the benefits within the family, Bai Qingqing tried to write down the names of her three spirit pets.
Error message: !
The reason is: the host's spirit pet is one with the host in terms of life force and cannot participate in recruitment.
Bai Qingqing then tried her parents and brothers, and found that they all worked.
"Why can my mother, father, and brothers do it? Aren't they connected to me by blood?" Bai Qingqing asked, frowning.
"Host, please note that bloodline and lifeline are two different things," Xiao Hao explained.
“Okay.” Bai Qingqing wrote down the names of her parents, brothers, ancestors, and all the ancestors from Niu Er to Niu Qi.
Two more are needed.
“Ancestor, I need a total of eighteen people.” Bai Qingqing looked up at Bai Wenyuan and said, “You and the six hall masters, plus my parents and brothers, are still two short.”
“Big brother, you have some free time too.” Niu Yunxiao said hurriedly, “Although I’m busy with the affairs of the Nine Halls, I still have some free time.”
If we don't bring my elder brother along when it comes to Mr.'s business, we'll definitely get a beating later.
"Then we're still missing one," Bai Qingqing said. "Does the Ancestor have anyone to recommend?"
"Master, I, I!" Wukong said, raising his little paw.
The Bull Demon King and Tian Susu also watched longingly.
"You are my spirit pets. You can go join in the fun if you want, but you won't count as heads." Bai Qingqing smiled and rubbed Wukong's little head.
"Then let's go with Zhan Ling," Bai Wenyuan said. "Your senior sister is an upright person, and she also has a good relationship with Hao'er and the others."
“Okay.” Bai Qingqing nodded repeatedly. Zhan Ling’s personality, as seen in the “Winner Takes All” event, was quite to her liking. “Then it’s settled.”
“No problem.” Bai Wenyuan took the storage ring from Bai Qingqing, stood up and said, “I’ll go arrange it right away.”
Perhaps feeling that she had been too enthusiastic, she added at the end, "Qingqing's actions are for the benefit of the entire Xingyue Sect, and they should thank you properly."
"You're too kind, Ancestor." Bai Qingqing smiled with her eyes crinkling. "I'm just providing the raw materials; the specific details will have to be taken care of by you, Ancestor."
As for the payment, it cannot be given so directly.
After all, she is a junior; what kind of behavior is it to pay a senior?
Moreover, she had never had the chance to give it to him before, and of course, she didn't have anything to give him at the time, so she had to find a suitable excuse.
No rush.
“Then we’ll go help too,” Niu Yancai and Niu Yunxiao said, standing up as well.
"Thank you for your trouble, two hall masters," Bai Qingqing said politely. "Once the ivory vegetables are ready, I'll have the Bull Demon King call you."
"Then we are in for a treat! Your cooking is absolutely superb," Niu Yunxiao exclaimed.
"You can come over often when you have free time," Bai Qingqing said with a smile.
She has a whole set of kitchen seasonings given to her by the system; the food here is too bland to compare.
After Bai Wenyuan and the other two left, Bai Qingqing continued digging the hole.
Wukong's three spirit pets assisted him from the side.
It was finished in no time.
Bai Qingqing nodded in satisfaction: "Now we're just waiting for Master Niu Liu to return."
"Master, it's getting late. I'll go prepare the meal," Tian Susu said, looking up at the sky.
“I’ll do it this time, and you can learn from me,” Bai Qingqing said.
After all, many of these seasonings don't exist in this world, so she had to demonstrate them first to avoid any mishaps.
"Yes." Tian Susu nodded obediently.
Dinner was prepared in a lavish manner. Bai Qingqing wanted to take this opportunity to teach Tian Susu, and also to welcome Tian Susu.
Given Tian Susu's current level of power, she shouldn't be able to control anything in the kitchen.
However, since she is now Bai Qingqing's "handpicked" cook, she has the authority and no longer needs to consider the issue of cultivation level.
"Did you understand? Ask me if you don't know anything," Bai Qingqing said as she served the food.
"Understood." Tian Susu took it and placed it on the table: "Thank you for your hard work, Master."
Wukong and the Bull Demon King had already set out the bowls and chopsticks.
One person and three pets then began their delightful dinner journey.
After dinner, Tian Susu quickly tidied up the kitchen and then helped Bai Qingqing make the bed.
Bai Qingqing was quite satisfied.
It's so nice to have someone to wait on you.
The next morning, after returning from her morning exercise with Wukong and the Bull Demon King, Bai Qingqing was lost in thought when she saw the same dishes on the table as the night before.
Tian Susu's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly asked, "Master, is there something I did wrong? Please teach me, and I will correct it immediately."
"It's alright, I'll write out a recipe for you later." Bai Qingqing patted Tian Susu's shoulder and praised, "This meal is quite good."
"Thank you, Master." Tian Susu felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey. No one had ever praised her like this before.
After breakfast, Bai Qingqing went to her study to write recipes.
Wukong and the Bull Demon King stayed in the kitchen to help clean up.
The Bull Demon King helped move the table and tidy up the chairs.
Wukong, meanwhile, was sweeping the floor with a broom that was half his height, asking as he swept, "Susu, how was the harvest last night?"
