Chapter 28: Encounter with Someone of the Same Path (2/2)

She was unbelievably distressed, but there was another person in this kitchen that was even more distressed.

It was rare for him to be able to eat something on the sly, yet he accidently ran into someone. What was even worse was, the person even ate all of his favorite deer meat!

Krrr-rack! With a single bite he snapped the chopsticks in his hand! If it weren’t for the fact he was scared of getting caught by Meng Ru, there was no way he would have jumped to hide on the beams of the room the moment he heard footsteps.

In the spacious kitchen, this sound was particularly conspicuous.

Tang Doudou froze. Pulling out her chopsticks, she looked at it. She didn’t bite the chopsticks ah? Then that noise earlier?

Suddenly lifting her head, the two both froze.

Then simultaneously gave blood-curdling, pig-being-slaughtered type screeches.

The first to recover was the person on the roofbeam. He moved quickly and dropped down. With one hand he covered Tang Doudou’s mouth while a shining dagger appeared in his other hand. He fiercely warned: “Shut up. If you keep screaming and cause Meng Ru to come over, I’ll kill you.”

Tang Doudou slapped away his hand and slightly narrowed her eyes: “You’re freaking here to steal food too?”

At first she was startled too, thinking she was about to be caught. But hearing the two words ‘Meng Ru’, she instantly understood what was happening.

Immediately, she also felt dismay. Never expected that coming here to steal a snack, she’d actually end up meeting someone of the same (cultivation) path!

“Hell no, you’re the one stealing food!” Who knew that the moment the other party heard that, he immediately glared at her.

“Pei, if you’re not here to steal food, what are you hiding on the roof for?” Tang Doudou rolled her eyes* at him, still reflecting on the savory taste of the deer meat. Ancient era is great ah. No matter what it was, it’s all natural; it’s tasty and nutritious.

Chinese eyeroll is just rolling your eyes back and showing them the whites of your eyes. Like holding up a middle finger, but not that offensive. It literally translates to “white eye” and is usually used to express disgust.

“It’s pleasantly cool up there!”

“Oh?”

“Up to you whether you believe or not!” Tsunderely tilting his neck, he saw the absolutely empty pot and his large almond eyes showed devastating disappointment: “Just now wasn’t there still some pieces, why are they gone?”

Turning his gaze, he saw Tang Doudou smacking her lips: “You!”

“Oh, sss, already ate, ate it all……” So so tasty, so so refreshing!

“That’s too much! Not even leaving behind one piece, are you still human!”

Looking at the cute, dazed tsundere young man exposing an expression of inconsolable grief and indignation, Tang Doudou swallowed down the meat still in her mouth and licked her lips as she said: “Stop that your-kid-died look. Isn’t it just a pot of deer meat? Jie(Big Sis) will make you something even tastier!”

“Jie(Big Sis)?”

“Hic, you misheard! What jie no jie, I was just burping. That’s right, what’s your name. I didn’t know that within Baili Yu’s servant girls there’s even a guy?” Crap, she better get used to this identity change fast! Luckily she was able to quickly divert the topic, Tang Doudou sighed in relief.

“I also haven’t seen you before. Where did you crawl out from?” The beautiful young man moved the dagger away: “You say there’s something even tastier than deer meat, is that true?”

So it turns out he’s also a foodie ah!

Tang Doudou smiled with her eyes squinted: “Isn’t your knowledge and experience too short? There’s plenty of things tastier than deer meat. Go help me watch the door.”

“Watch the door for what?”

“Of course so I can make something tasty for you!”

“Jun Xin*!”

Jun(monarch/gentleman) Xin(heart)

“Who cares what heart you have, hurry up and go watch the door!”

Jun Xin curiously asked: “You’re going to make it yourself?”

“What, then you want to make it?” Tang Doudou rolled her eyes at Jun Xin then pulled him up and started pushing him outside.

Jun Xin hurriedly turned around and tugged at her: “Hey, I can’t stay outside, I’ll be discovered. It’s best if I just stay inside the building! Don’t worry, I’ll immediately know if there’s even the slightest movement outside!”

Tang Doudou suspiciously peered at him: “You’re that amazing?”

“Wasting words!”

Jun Xin impatiently urged: “If you’re gonna make it then hurry up. If it’s not tasty then I will get angry!”

Butt-aged little brat!

”Butt-aged” refers to when children still goes around naked, aka with butts exposed

Preparing the kitchen. She ate and drank her fill, so it’s about time to do some proper business.

“Keep watch properly!” After exhorting Jun Xin once, Tang Doudou took off her outer robe and immediately got busy.

Originally, he was worried she was just joking, but unexpectedly, upon seeing her swift movements, Jun Xin couldn’t help but start to look forward to it. What will she make that’s even tastier than deer meat?

In any case, he feels like deer meat is the tastiest thing in the world.

Tang Doudou first thoroughly searched through the kitchen to find everything she needed. After setting everything up, only then did she realize she was still missing quite a few seasonings.

Looks like, whether it was the snack in Rutaceae Pavilion or the breakfast Qing Yin brought her, it’s not without reason that they tasted that horrible.

Fortunately, for what she’s making today, missing those seasonings was not that significant.

The important thing is this plaything!

Picking up that small jar, Tang Doudou took a deep inhale. It was still the familiar recipe, still the familiar taste.

One word, refreshing!

Jun Xin squatted down behind the door. Who in the world is this person? Why would they appear in Moon View Courtyard? And it’s even a man.

Baili Yu……

That’s right, last night didn’t Baili Yu go to that boring martial arts convention or something? He even brought back that new Alliance Head Li Xueyi.

Thinking to here, Jun Xin’s expression suddenly turned odd. This guy in front of him who has his sleeved pulled up and was currently familiarly and swiftly kneading dough, this guy couldn’t be Li Xueyi, right!?

Translator Comment Chiyomira: In bio they taught us to always waft the chemicals towards our noses rather than sniff directly. Of course I never did that because we were just smelling vinegar and stuff. Then my mom made my favorite soup. I took a sniff and tears filled my eyes. I had to put burn ointment on my poor nose.

Hehe, mini vote! Comment here. Out of all the guys introduced, who do you think is the guy in the Chinese teaser or the main male lead? Main options are Mu Ye, Bai Feiyun, Baili Yu and Jun Xin. You may nominate others as well~ btw, I have a guess but I don’t know the answer yet either~

Do give a line as to why you voted the way you did and I’ll dedicate a bonus chapter for the person with the most interesting reason~

If there’s nothing interesting… I may or may not give a pity chapter…
