Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Reasoning with a Sparrow

Translator: 549690339

This meal, Huang Qingling ate with utter delight.

Even Little Sparrow was stuffed with two large chunks of roasted meat, which was its favorite.

Given that Little          had suffered some grievances, Lin Jing naturally couldn’t neglect it.

Seeing how well treated Little Sparrow, Huang Qingling’s eyes twinkled, and she spoke up:

“Lin Jing, I see you and Little Sparrow have a quite good relationship,”

“How about this…”

Lin Jing lifted his head, looking towards Huang Qingling, a face full of confusion.

“How so?”

“From now on, you’ll make food for Little Sparrow, so it won’t run out again.”

“Otherwise, if it gets caught by someone again and sent back to me, I’d have no face to meet them.”

Lin Jing couldn’t help but laugh and cry:

“Qing Ling, my friend, it’s not that I don’t want to, but I have to practice alchemy daily, and I really don’t have that much time to spend in the kitchen.”

“I know that,” she said, “you only need to set aside a little time each month, just preparing four or five meals will do.”

After saying this, Huang Qingling quickly added:

“And, I’ll provide the ingredients.”

“Qing Ling, my friend, to tell you the truth, is it that you want to eat?” Lin Jing asked suspiciously, gazing at Huang Qingling.

“Hmm… ”

Huang Qingling’s face turned red, and she hummed in a low voice.

The reason Huang Qingling did this was because she used to often visit Lin Jing for a free meal, and Elder Bai had found out and lectured her.

Since then, she realized it was inappropriate and felt embarrassed to come and disturb Lin Jing so casually.

“Alright… ”

Seeing Huang Qingling’s demeanor, Lin Jing couldn’t bear to refuse and said helplessly.

Huang Qingling smiled very happily:

“Hehe… I knew it, Lin Jing, you’re the best.”

“Don’t worry, if you cook for me, I’ll have your back in Fang Market, nobody will dare to mess with you.”

“Hmm… ”

Lin Jing responded with a hum and didn’t really take it to heart.

After the two had finished eating, Huang Qingling had to find Elder Bai to deal with the issue of Little Sparrow stealing food, so she left first.

And Lin Jing packed everything up and continued with his alchemy.

Lin Jing seldom practiced alchemy in the outside world, and even the alchemy room behind his house was used only a few times by him.

Fortunately, his System Space had been upgraded to level 3, allowing him to enter for six hours a day, and with the time flow speed tripled, he had 18 hours a day.

Now, he didn’t have to worry about not having enough time.

In the afternoon, Huang Qingling returned.

From her account, Lin Jing learned.

It turned out that Little Sparrow had previously been caught stealing at Drunken Immortal Pavilion, but the person who caught it recognized it as Elder Bai’s gift to Huang Qingling, scolded it, and then let it go.

Elder Bai also knew about this incident, but to them, such matters were trivial; Elder Bai didn’t even tell Huang Qingling.

Regarding the later incident of Little Sparrow stealing food again, Elder Bai’s response was very direct.

“If Little Sparrow gets caught, we admit it; if it doesn’t get caught, what’s there to admit?”

After hearing what Elder Bai said, Huang Qingling was speechless and didn’t know what to say.

After all, except for the Drunken Immortal Pavilion which had a Golden Core Cultivator stationed there capable of capturing Little Sparrow, it was unlikely that any other tavern or restaurant could catch it.

So, the matter was laid to rest, but still, Little Sparrow was warned by Huang Qingling and was forbidden to go out and steal food at night again.

After all, she didn’t want to find herself having to personally apologize one day if Little Sparrow were to be caught.

Although Little Sparrow was very fast, as the saying goes, better safe than sorry…

Having told Lin Jing about the incident, Huang Qingling took Little Sparrow and left.

And so, another two days passed.

Today, Lin Jing had just finished his cultivation practice and opened his eyes.

Calculating the time, it was just about right.
