Chapter 258 – Lovers Who Don’t Have to Take Responsibility (1/2)

A rhythmic sound came from the kitchen, even though Lin Xiao knew it was just the sound of Elena chopping food, he felt panicked. It didn’t sound like she was cutting food, it sound like she was pressing her enemy against the chopping board and crazily cleaving them, every chop carried an intense anger and hatred.

He didn’t understand why Elena was angry… was it because she caught him flirting with Shen DaiYing? It shouldn’t be, she already knew he liked Shen DaiYing, so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them together, and it would make no sense for her to get angry.

She’s just a maid, so who he flirted with had nothing to do with her.

Lin Xiao guessed that she was probably angry because of the shopping… he asked her to go buy food, yet Shen DaiYing came over with a bunch of ingredients so he made her go for nothing. Also everything was of much higher quality and it was incomparable to her lousy potatoes and rotten cabbages.

Why did she have to waste all that time if she knew Shen DaiYing was going to come? Anyways, her ingredients are better, she cooks well, she has a good personality, her legs are long, she’s also beautiful, much better than this dumb maid that’s always messing up and throwing temper tantrums, right?

Thud, thud, thud!

The sound of hateful chopping was still audible.

Lin Xiao was lazing on the sofa alone, uneasily waiting for lunch being made.

He didn’t need to explain to Elena, but it was awkward when he was caught on the spot and he was worried that Elena would misunderstand, so he forced his way into the kitchen to explain that Shen DaiYing only came to fulfill her promise of making lunch.

Elena had no comment.

After the initial shock, Elena didn’t complain at all, the first thing she did was drive Lin Xiao out of the kitchen for getting in the way, then glared at Shen DaiYing who was standing next to her, like a female tiger guarding her territory.

Thud, thud, thud!

Perhaps she was substituting the knife as her fangs, and that’s why she used so much force, but unfortunately, she was still too inexperienced when it came to playing with knives…

Sure enough, the sound of the knife filled with hatred soon stopped and then Shen DaiYing’s gentle coaching voice was heard.

“Elena, that’s not the right way to cut, you’re gripping the knife incorrectly, and you can’t use so much strength, you can’t just rely on your arm strength, you have to learn how to work your wrist and fingers together!”

“Hmph… I don’t know how to, why don’t you do it?”

“Me? …Hehe, that’s fine too, let me just demonstrate for you once.”

“Demonstrate?”

Lin Xiao felt that something was off, like something was about to happen, so he peaked into the kitchen and saw Elena angrily pointing the knife towards Shen DaiYing.

“Here!”

However, Shen DaiYing didn’t mind, she didn’t flinch, or evade and never looked away from Elena’s eyes. She didn’t panic even when the blade was millimeters away from her chest.

“Hehe, thanks.”

She took the knife and gripped it with her slender fingers and twirled it around.

“Watch closely.”

Saying that, she picked up a carrot with her left hand, griped the knife with her right and took a deep breath.

In the blink of an eye, the sky was filled with knife flashes.

Lin Xiao couldn’t even react and that pitiful carrot was cut into small pieces.

Using sword arts even when cutting food? You can even do that?

Not just Lin Xiao, even Elena raised her eyebrows slightly. She was slightly surprised, but still forcibly restrained herself and deliberately pretended to not care.

“Watch closely, it’s a bit different when cutting meat.”

She pushed the carrots aside then picked up a piece of pork and placed it on the cutting board. She slightly adjusted her grip and continued her demonstration.

Lin Xiao watched dumbstruck as the slippery meat was cut into small pieces at an astonishing speed. There was no delay at all, her impressive knife skills was breathtaking.

If it was Elena, it probably would take most of the day for her to cut that piece of meat. She might even cut herself because of how slippery the meat is.

As expected of a sword expert, it turns out that her assassination techniques could even be used in this way… she could cook, was kind, could fight, Shen DaiYing was really an almighty wife!

Lin Xiao couldn’t help but think of going to Snow for another one of those slave contracts and use it with Shen DaiYing so that she’ll also become his maid, how good would that be… cough, of course, he was just kidding about that.

“Do you see what I mean?”

After demonstrating, she did a beautiful knife trick, the stupidly heavy kitchen knife was like a feather in her hands and flew towards Elena chest.

Damn!

Lin Xiao was startled and thought Shen DaiYing was paying back what Elena did earlier.

But, even though they were both pretending to stab the chest, Elena would definitely get injured this time because her bust was several times larger!
