Chapter 214 - Gathering for Cultivation (14) (1/2)

The truth was, not every female protagonist had the cooking skills of a master chef.

For example, this one.

Ming Shu kept her faith in not wasting any food and finished the food with much effort. She took out the stone from her sleeve and stuffed it into Zi Luo’s hand. Before Zi Luo could react, she left without turning back.

Zi Luo was left holding the stone. “…”

Was that a look of disdain she gave her just now?

Zi Luo looked at the stone. It was emitting green light and although she didn’t know what it was, she knew that it was not a normal item.

Zi Luo didn’t know what to say. She felt that she should not take something so precious and went to look for Ming Shu a few times.

However, she didn’t manage to find her.

But, she met some people who were looking for Ming Shu to cause trouble and when they were quarreling, she accidentally dropped some blood on the stone. The stone and her started to build a connection, and she realized that she could keep absorbing the Qi within the stone. Her cultivation level rose.

“Junior Sister, what are you doing!”

The girl that was crawling through the window got frightened by the sound and immediately jumped down. She looked at the person in embarrassment. “Lin… Lin Jin, Senior Brother. I am… I am looking for Xuan Ji.”

Lin Jin remembered this girl, but…

“Why are you crawling through her window if you are looking for her?”

Zi Luo’s face turned red from Lin Jin’s suspicion. “I can’t find her so I wanted to… wait for her in her room. I am not doing anything bad.”

She waved her hands furiously at the end.

Lin Jin was still suspicious. Zi Luo almost wanted to bury herself in the ground from the embarrassment when he finally said, “She should be near the kitchen at this hour. However, she doesn’t like people disturbing her. What is the matter?”

“Ah… no.” Zi Luo shook her head and then nodded. “Yes. I have something to talk to her about.”

“Personal stuff?”

“Yes.”

“Let me help you ask her.” Lin Jin’s cultivation was going really well recently and his temper got much better. He said, “Wait here.”

Zi Luo looked up in surprise. “Thanks, Senior Brother Lin Jin.”

When Lin Jin found Ming Shu, she was sitting on a stool and munching on a bun. The disciples in the kitchen were cooking some food and occasionally glanced at Ming Shu with vigilance.

There was a colorful riceball squatting beside her. Lin Jin was able to see it from his standpoint, but the colorful riceball disappeared when he walked nearer.

Lin Jin was puzzled. Was it an illusion?

It shouldn’t be… He had seen it numerous times. but never get to look at it closely and see what it was.

“Xuan Ji.” Lin Jin looked at her face and saw that her mood was not bad. He then said, “There is a Zi Luo Junior Sister that is looking for you. It seemed really urgent. She even climbed through your window.”

Ming Shu bit her bun and looked at him sideways. She said softly, “Tell her that that thing is rightfully hers. If she really feels sorry, ask her to hone her cooking skills.”

“Huh?”

What is this?

Lin Jin scratched his head and noticed that Ming Shu’s attention was directed at the kitchen again. He was speechless. Why did she look as though she was ready to rob the kitchen at any time?

The disciples in the kitchen were very stressed too. It was not just Lin Jin, they also felt that Ming Shu would come in a rob them any moment.

Lin Jin brought her words to Zi Luo in confusion.

She didn’t know how Lin Jin persuaded Zi Luo, but when Ming Shu came back to her room, Zi Luo was not there anymore.

She washed up and lay on her bed.

She lived alone in the room. Thus, it was very quiet.

Ming Shu rested there. Her breathing was calm. The moonlight shone on her face and made her looked extra gentle.

No one could tell if she was asleep or not.

A shadow suddenly appeared on the silvered floor.

“Do you have a habit of sneaking into people’s room at night, Master?”

A clear voice sounded immediately after the shadow appeared.

The man grunted. He was either surprised or he was just making a sound to reply to her.

Yan Yin found a spot and sat down. His upper body was in darkness while his lower body was bathed in the moonlight.

“I only like to sneak into your room. What can I do?”

Ming Shu opened her eyes and with the help of the moonlight, she looked toward the person in her room. “Which leg likes to sneak into my room?”

“Both of them.”

“Then chop them off.” Ming Shu grabbed a kitchen knife from beneath her pillow and got down from her bed.

The kitchen knife gave off a chilly gleam in the moonlight.

Yan Yin: “…”
