Seeing the slightly evasive expressions on their faces, Xie Qingye knew that these people weren't cut out for cooking.
Grandpa Chen wanted to cook, but his superpower had just awakened, so he couldn't do anything too delicate; he could only help out at most.
The group knew this because they saw Grandpa Chen break off a corner of the sofa when he lifted it.
In the end, Xie Qingye took charge, saying, "You guys help out. I can't possibly cook for so many people all by myself."
He glanced at the dishes on the side—there were green vegetables and some eggs—and after deciding on the menu, he let them start eating.
Some will wash the vegetables, some will peel them, but he can do the chopping himself.
After rinsing the rice and putting it on to cook, he rolled up his sleeves and started chopping vegetables.
Although the house has running water and electricity, the water supply is rationed and not much.
So Xie Qingye put several buckets of water aside by himself.
Ye Shang had already set out the pots, pans, and other necessities in the kitchen.
We don't need to buy these from the base anymore.
Nowadays, everything is purchased with supplies, and food has become the hard currency.
Ye Shang returned to his room, finished eating the cucumber, and looked around at the room's layout. It was very simple, just one room and one bathroom, nothing else. Almost all the rooms were like this. If they weren't all together, these kinds of houses would usually be assigned to each superhuman and a regular person to share a room. Zhao Xiang next door was like that.
She glanced at it briefly, then sat down on the ground to begin cultivating. She didn't want to stay on the bed; she hadn't showered or washed up yet, and after such a long journey, even if she was careful, her clothes would still be a little dirty.
Qingying usually stays in the space and is only taken out when needed.
The energy within my body is growing stronger and stronger. I don't know if it will surge into my dantian like spiritual energy, or if it will upgrade in some other way.
She checked her current combat power. Although she hadn't clearly upgraded to the Qi Refining stage, she could still inject this energy into the Light Shadow Sword.
As she cultivated, the energy within her body grew stronger and stronger, finally exploding with a bang and turning into gas. Ye Shang was immediately shocked. Wasn't this spiritual energy?!
She assessed her current strength and realized she had reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
Ye Shang was filled with doubt, not only in his mind but also in his eyes. What was going on? No need for tribulation? No need for lightning strikes? He skipped the Qi Refining stage and went straight to Foundation Establishment?
Is cultivation really that easy? Then she was stuck on Qi cultivation for twenty years back in the Xuan Tian Continent.
She didn't quite understand why this energy could transform into spiritual energy and even directly upgrade her level without undergoing a tribulation.
Ye Shang once again drew upon the spiritual energy from his dantian, this time using it with ease, expelling a considerable amount of impurities from her body.
In modern terms, she could only be considered pretty. Perhaps because she had lived for so long, she exuded an indescribable aura. But after these impurities were expelled, her skin tone became several shades lighter.
They say fair skin can cover up a thousand flaws, and that's true. Her appearance has improved a lot, and the small acne scars on her face are gone.
When she went into the bathroom to take a shower, she forgot that she also needed to boil water.
However, she used her spiritual energy to pass over the water, and perhaps due to the effect of the spiritual energy, it gained some temperature.
She washed herself three times before she felt she had washed away all the impurities from her body.
After wiping away the moisture, she changed into a moon-white robe. Since she didn't need to go out, she could wear light-colored clothes.
Actually, she wanted to wear modern clothes, but she also thought that she had to maintain this persona. At least she had to make everyone think that it was normal for her to wear a robe. Otherwise, if she wore a robe on missions in the future, some people would think, "What era are we in? Why are you still playing the role of an ancient person? Wearing Hanfu and wandering around all day."
When someone appears with a fixed image and maintains that image, you might think it's their normal way of dressing. But if one day they suddenly change their style, some people will feel that something seems off. That's what a fixed impression is.
So she didn't change her style of dress. In this era where zombies roam, her robes are her protective umbrella, like her armor, something she can't lose even on the battlefield.
Wearing a pair of cotton slippers, she walked downstairs. She was a little hungry, so she decided to go down and wait for something delicious.
The food was indeed almost ready, and Xie Qingye was about to ask Zhu Caining to call Ye Shang when she heard movement on the stairs.
For some time now, they had seen her wearing a dark robe. Even after everyone else had changed into new clothes, she continued to wear it, and it didn't even seem very dirty.
I was a little taken aback when I saw that she had changed into a light-colored Hanfu.
The girl descended the stairs slowly, her shoulder-length hair still dripping wet. She wore a moon-white Hanfu and walked down the stairs step by step. As if sensing the gazes of the crowd, she slightly raised her eyes and looked down.
His eyes held a mixture of doubt and unfathomable depth.
"What are you looking at? Is the food ready?" Ye Shang asked.
Yang Jinxia's hand, which was holding the dish, almost trembled. She exclaimed, "Ah, it's hot!"
She hurriedly placed the dishes on the table and quickly conjured some ice to cool her burning palms.
