When Chi Shuyan went to the kitchen to eat, the boys were curious at first about what Qi Zhenbai had given her. Chi Shuyan was embarrassed and pretended not to hear them.
Fortunately, the fragrance of the spirit rice spread from the pot, and the gossipy boys immediately swallowed their saliva greedily.
Qi Hao couldn’t help but be the first to call out, “Sister-in-law, what kind of delicacy did my brother cook for you? Why does it smell so good?” Why didn’t he know that his brother’s cooking was so good?
Qi Zhenbai had cooked spirit rice for her in the morning. Chi Shuyan had specially brought a few dozen pounds of it in her luggage. She had warmed it up a little just now, so the fragrance of spirit rice porridge naturally wafted out.
Due to the heaven-defying effects of the spirit rice, she didn’t plan to give it to anyone other than her father, Qi Zhenbai’s family, and Zhu Bocheng. As the saying went, a tall tree attracted the wind, right?
What if someone else discovered the heaven-defying effects of this spirit rice?
But she found these boys quite pleasing to the eye, and she saw how ravenous they were, so she thought that giving them a taste of this good stuff would be fine. While the spirit rice’s magical effect was too heaven-defying, a taste once in a while was fine.
Chi Shuyan had them sit down, then scooped out some rice to cook porridge for them.
The boys were especially fawning. She had just taken out the rice, and they all scrambled to be the one to help cook the porridge, when Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes. “Can you cook porridge? Do you know how much water to add?”
Wang Xuewen, Qi Hao, and Jian Chongying were stupefied. When had they ever cooked porridge? They could only stare at Chi Shuyan with wide eyes.
Wang Xuewen took the opportunity to yell, “Master, you’re too good to me!”
“F*ck off!” the other two brats said in unison.
Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and also smiled and teased, “I don’t have a disciple as old as you. I’m about the same age as you guys; just call me by my name in the future!” More importantly, don’t call me Sister-in-law. It felt strange every time the boys called her that!
Even though Wang Xuewen and the others already knew how old Chi Shuyan was, they had probably been too stunned by their first encounter. Even if they were peers, there was only reverence and admiration in their eyes.
Qi Hao immediately shook his head and said, “No way, Sister-in-law. Every time I call you this, my brother’s mood will be especially good and he’ll be more patient with me. You don’t know how cold my brother is; I’m especially afraid of him, and I always feel that he’ll beat me up whenever something happens. It’s great now; whenever I make my brother angry, I’ll mention you and obediently call you Sister-in-law, and he’ll be especially good to me!”
Wang Xuewen and Jian Chongying also wouldn’t change how they addressed her, so Chi Shuyan was helpless.
Fifteen minutes later, Qi Hao escaped from Wang Xuewen and Jian Chongying with difficulty. He snuck up beside Chi Shuyan and whispered in her ear. Chi Shuyan thought that this kid had some secret to tell her, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked if he could get a Guiding Lightning Talisman like Lu Chengfu’s. It didn’t matter how much it cost.
This kid still wanted that Guiding Lightning Talisman which Lu Chengfu had?
It would be fine if this good thing had never belonged to him, but that talisman had clearly been in his hands before. Who would have thought that he would turn around and give it to someone else, and get nothing back in return? How could he resign himself to it, especially when he saw the power of that talisman?
Now, he wanted to vomit blood every time he saw Lu Chengfu, okay?
Just then, Qi Hao’s phone suddenly rang. Qi Hao picked up, and it just so happened to be a call from Lu Chengfu. “Haozi, do you have Sister-in-law’s contact number? I keep feeling like something’s wrong here. Can you give me her contact number?”
