48 YOU WILL HURT YOUR BRAIN (2/2)

Zhong Feng nodded at the request.

”Would you prefer with vegetables or chicken?”

Hu Lei felt very satisfied with this volunteer chef.

”I am feeling like having chicken today. It's been too long since I have had any kind of meat.” Hu Lei did not hold back.

Zhong Feng once again nodded.

Hu Lei watched him with interest as he prepared the ingredients with efficiency. She had to admit that she was awed. He seemed like a professional chef. She wondered when he had had time to learn this. According to the rumour mill, he had been too busy with education and the company to have a moment of peace.

Her eyes leaked envy. She had a huge knowledge gap in the cooking department compared to this monster. The only thing that she could do well was bake. On the bright side, she would probably be the envy of Supreme City if anyone learned that she had the pleasure of experiencing this god's cooking.

”Big boss, why are you so nice to me?” she asked without thinking.

The spatula in the wok paused for a moment before Zhong Feng resumed his stirring. After adjusting the cooking heat, he turned to her.

”What position do you place me in your life?” He posed his own question looking at her.

Hu Lei thought for a moment.

”I think of you as a senior martial brother.” She answered with a nod of satisfaction.

Zhong Feng's faced darkened, though he should have expected a strange answer from her. At least, she had not said he was a brother to her.

”Explain.”

”Well, you are like the powerful senior brother in a martial sect with the golden thigh. Our fathers knew each other long time ago before they ascended to the upper realm. Because my father saved your father from an evil cultivator, you feel obligated to take care of this small outer court disciple. Naturally, I must cling to this golden thigh.” She felt that she had covered everything properly.

Zhong Feng's complexion did not improve. I seem to have been demoted from evil emperor to a senior martial brother, he thought.

”It seems I have to work a little harder.” He spoke with a sigh before turning back to the stove.

”Hey, you did not answer my question.” Hu Lei realised.

Unfortunately, she was destined not to have a response, at least for now.
