Chapter 460 (1/2)

The Gathering at Zhu's Soup House

Little Zero asked Ye Lang about alchemy related topics and listened to the answers to them; Coldblood Seven started planning upon receiving information on Li Yue; Coldblood Five just stayed silent by Ye Lang’s side the whole time, apparent that she wasn’t listening to any of the discussions.

Suddenly, Coldblood Five disappeared. After a while, she returned by Ye Lang’s side with such vigour it alarmed him. “It’s time to eat! Come quickly!”

She laid out a few dishes on the table. Though simple, they were prepared with an air of elegance and sophistication.

“Eh? The food tastes different today? Did they change the chef?” Coldblood Seven asked as she took a bite. The food tasted several times better than the previous experiences she had here.

While Coldblood Five loved to cook, but she barely cooked for others. There was no one else who’d tasted her food besides Ye Lang. Coldblood Seven was riding on his luck this time to taste the food made by the world’s greatest assassin.

“Oomph...” Ye Lang seemed to be saying something, but with all the food in his mouth, he could not speak.

“Eat your rice. Don’t talk!“ Coldblood Five snapped while giving him more food.

“You’re so stingy Coldblood Five. We’ve known each other for so long but you’ve never given me food like that!” said an ambiguous Coldblood Seven.

“You want some?” Coldblood Five looked up, violence radiating off her being.

“...Nope!” Coldblood Seven lowered her head.

“...” Little Zero quietly ate her food. Amidst forking some food for herself, she also, abruptly and silently, forked some for Ye Lang.

Coldblood Seven saw it and decided to fork some for Ye Lang as well. She would be the odd one out for not doing so.

Ye Lang found it impossible to finish the food on his plate, so he kept on eating… “Alright, I’m leaving. Enjoy your meals! If you have any problems, come to Zhu's Soup House. I’ll be there.”

“Okay!” Little Zero nodded.

“Idiot, you’re staying at Zhu's Soup House?” Coldblood Five asked.

Ye Lang nodded, saying, “Yes, I’ll be staying there. It’s better to pretend we don’t know each other. Just send a message to notify me.”

“I will use another identity to infiltrate the House and protect you incognito.” Coldblood Five ignored Ye Lang’s words. When she set her mind onto something, no one could change her thoughts.

“Fine! But we have to act as if we don’t know each other.” Ye Lang did not care. He believed that if Coldblood Five wanted to, no one could notice her presence.

“Okay. I will not appear unless it’s an emergency.” Coldblood Five nodded.

“If you’re all going, so will I. Of course, I will be using another identity. I bet you won’t recognise me even if you saw me!” Coldblood Seven smiled. She was prepared to play along with the rest and sneak into Zhu's Soup House.

“I...I will stay here and read some books while relaying messages,” Little Zero suggested. She found herself rather useless.

“Alright, that will be it!” Ye Lang nodded. Coldblood Seven and Coldblood Five originally worked alone so he did not see a problem with them joining in the fray.
