Chapter 264 - Chef is too Slow (2/2)

Shen Ying scanned him from head to toe. “Am I being kind by remaining silent?”

Lonemoon scoffed. Then, as if recalling something, his expression changed. Alright, that would be even more unkind.

“Then what exactly are you thinking?”

“I’m too lazy to think about that.”

“You’re… you’re extremely lazy indeed!” She’s selectively lazy now.

Shen Ying waved the teacup in her hand and whispered, “Whose fault is it that the holiday is ending so quickly?”

“What?”

“Nothing much, Father Niu, do you really have nothing to eat? Your daughter is so hungry.”

“Get lost!” I don’t have a lazy daughter like you.

“…”

“No matter how you decide, I’m not going to bother about this matter. You can settle it on your own.” Lonemoon pursed his lips, then added, “But… be gentle about it. You’ve known him for so long afterall.”

“… Yes.”

Then, Lonemoon set up an isolation array and closed the door before returning to the table. “Let’s talk about serious business now! You’ve gone out to observe for the entire day. How’re things, then? Did you find anything? Did you check thoroughly?”

Shen Ying looked at him lazily and said, “Mm, I guess so?”

“What do you mean by that?”

She set up and threw the full storage bags onto the table.

“What’s this?” Lonemoon picked one up and opened it. A huge fish’s tail suddenly stuck out of the bag and flew toward his face. There was a loud smacking sound that echoed throughout the hall.

Lonemoon: “…”

Where’s my knife?

“Er… there are too many little animals inside. Be careful!” Shen Ying hastily added.

“Freaking hell, what’s the point of telling me now!” Lonemoon threw the storage back toward Shen Ying’s face. “You did this on purpose, didn’t you? You must have!”

“Don’t waste it, Father Niu!” Shen Ying caught the storage back and stuffed the fish tail back in. They could still eat it if it wasn’t rotten from being thrown around.

“Where did you catch all of these from?” Lonemoon glared at her. “These are all demonic beasts that can only be barbequed.”

“From the lake at the bottom of the hill.”

“The bottom of the hill!” Lonemoon jumped to his feet, his expression changing. “You mean to say-”

“We guessed rightly. Furball has a problem too.” Shen Ying nodded. “His cultivation level seems fine, that’s why he hasn’t realised it yet.”

Lonemoon’s expression darkened and he frowned. He tried and failed to keep silent, so he cussed, “Shit!” This was becoming more and more vexing. What should they do? Tell them now?

“I’m so tired!” Shen Ying slumped back down on the table. “Indeed, working my brain is a tiring business! Father Niu, do you really not have any snacks on you? I’m about to pass out from hunger – I just need one bite.”

“Get lost!” The corner of Lonemoon’s mouth twitched. You’ve only been gone for half a day, alright? “Tomorrow, Shortie should be emerging from the spirit spring. We should let them know about this early – I’ll call them over tomorrow.”

Once he finished speaking, Lonemoon got rid of the isolation array and walked out the door. After taking one step, he paused.

Motherf*cker!

He cussed under his breath, turned around and returned to the table. He began to take out over ten different dishes from a storage bag. There were vegetables, rice, pastries, fruits and more. The table was piled full with food in seconds. “These are leftovers from lunch. Eat, eat, eat. Eat till you fall over dead! Hmph!”

He did not stop again as he stalked out of the door.

Shen Ying: “…”

Mm, Father Niu has a unique way of doting on his daughter!
