Chapter 201 – This Little Guy is Actually Good at Cooking! (2/2)

‘Do ginseng spirits eat meat too?’

“Jiu Zun, do you roast meat often? The aroma is not bad! And here I thought you only rely on photosynthesis… to absorb the natural essences of the world to maintain your body. So it turned out you also eat food just like a normal person.” While Ning Xuemo gorged herself of food, she gave him a thumb up.

Jiu Zun was slightly stunned. He lowered his gaze to look at his own hands, as if he himself couldn’t believe that his actions were so practised…

He was silent for a moment before taking a handkerchief out from nowhere to wipe his hands while lightly speaking. “Eat.” Before returning to sit on that large stone.

Clearly he had no intention of eating.

He had cooked quite a bit of meat so Ning Xuemo could eat to her heart’s content.

The thought of kidnapping him back home grew ever stronger.

“Little Jiu Zun, don’t you find it boring all alone in these mountains?”

“It’s manageable.”

“You don’t even have a single friend here, where are you going to find someone to chat with? Why don’t you follow me back to the Marquis’ Manor, I have lots of people there, even a strange beast. If you’re bored you can always go and tease him.”

“Not going.”

“I can bring you out to play. Look at the state you got yourself in keeping yourself in these mountains. You’re clearly a little kid so you should be more energetic but you’re more like a small adult. Actually learning how to act high and aloof… You’re Jiu Zun not the Ancestor[1]. He’s an old man, but you aren’t so don’t go learning from him…”

‘Old man?’

Jiu Zun’s forehead pulsed once again before lightly glancing at her. “Don’t be so quick to come to conclusions. Sometimes you’ll find that you are way off the mark.” This time he really spoke too much.

“You’re meaning to tell me that my evaluation of the Ancestor is wrong? If he isn’t an old man then is he a little kid?” Ning Xuemo was very sharp as she casually spoke.

Jiu Zun “…”
