Chapter 386: Mysterious Lady In Blue (2/2)

Li Qiye gently waved his sleeve and said: “It is getting late, so you should go back first. Make a good lunch for me so that I can eat once I’m back.”

The lady in blue was s.h.i.+vering with anger; a heaven’s proud daughter like her was now his servant! But she still managed to contain her impulse to go mad.

‘Have to endure, must endure… It won’t be too late to slowly teach this brat a lesson later on. Then, we’ll see if he can still be so arrogant!’ In the end, she went back to cook for Li Qiye. If outsiders knew of this matter, eyes would definitely roll on the floor.

At noon, Li Qiye went back to his island and immediately smelled something burning. After noticing that there were a few burnt dishes on the table, he shook his head and said: “Oh my, your cooking skills are much worse than a faded old woman’s.”

The lady almost vomited blood from anger. A proud girl like her actually had to cook for someone. Doing such a lowly thing was not something she wanted to do.

Nevertheless, the food might be a little burnt, but at least it was still made with her effort! Not to mention that she couldn’t be blamed. Ever since she started cultivating in her sect, she never had to partic.i.p.ate in such trivial duties. It was already excellent that she could make something like this.

“Little Brat, if you don’t want to eat, then throw it away!” She could no longer bear it and shouted.

Li Qiye looked at her. He calmly tapped on the table and said with a leisurely smile: “Pay attention to your image, your image. What kind of girl screams like a tigress all of a sudden when something goes wrong? Maintain the appearance and att.i.tude of a lady… Do you even know what a lady is? I hope I don’t have to teach you this!”

The lady in blue almost died from exploding as she angrily glared at Li Qiye.

“Well, it seems that you did put in some effort, so I will have a taste of your dishes. Get the rice.” With this, Li Qiye handed his bowl over to the lady in blue.

The lady in blue felt like beating this brat who thought way too highly of himself.

Meanwhile, Li Qiye looked at her and smiled: “So? You are the one who’s willing to stay behind and be a housewife; a cultivator should have a firm will, don’t give up halfway.”

The lady in blue angrily fetched some rice for Li Qiye. If outsiders saw this scene, they would be in a state of disbelief. This was the fairy in the dreams of countless handsome young men who would fight each other just to earn her favor. However, their fairy, right now, had to cook for someone else and do all the tasks a housewife had to perform. She was even being bullied!

As Li Qiye was carefully chewing, the lady in blue had some expectations as she looked at Li Qiye. In the end, it was her first time cooking so she felt quite accomplished and wanted to ask Li Qiye about the taste.

“It is okay, it’s not hard to eat!” Eventually, Li Qiye smilingly evaluated her meal.

“Throw it away if you don’t want to eat it!” The lady’s temper flared up again as she gave him a stern glare. She then ignored Li Qiye as she sat to the side with the appearance of a wronged daughter-in-law. [3. One of the most common Asian tropes is that new wives would be bullied by their husband’s mother/family.]

Li Qiye couldn’t help but chuckle. Then, he shook his head: “Little Girl, don’t think you are being treated unfairly. I’m only keeping you around because I think highly of you! If I wished to recruit maids, then forget about the great powers in the Distant Cloud, even the G.o.ddesses and fairies of your Ancestral Domain would have to be my maids.”

The lady in blue lifted her head and glared at Li Qiye before she snappily retorted: “Hey, Uncle, your boasting is becoming even more outrageous. Do you even know what the Ancestral Domain represents in the Sacred Nether World?”

“What does it represent?” Li Qiye lazily said: “It’s only a bunch of things that are neither human nor ghost hiding underground, not daring to come out. If their real great ghost could come out, then it might be a bit amazing. If not, then they are no big deal in my eyes!”

“Less bragging please!” The lady in blue angrily said.

Li Qiye only smiled and didn’t say anything else as he continued to eat in a carefree manner.

The lady looked at Li Qiye and didn’t know what to say for a while. Now, she was completely lost. Her initial intention of judging his ident.i.ty was now completely muddled with confusion.

There was nothing strange or special about this brat. Regarding geniuses, talents, and prodigies, she had seen many of them.

However, this brat before her simply could not compare to geniuses. His arrogant tone was just out of this world! It was as if nothing could get into his sight despite this world being so vast.

Right now, she didn’t understand where this guy’s confidence was coming from at all.

He didn’t seem to be ignorant to the point of being arrogant, but if he wasn’t ignorant, then he should know better and not have so much self-confidence.
