Chapter 59: Not Sincere
Although Su Muyao was clear in her heart, always maintaining calmness and rationality, she also appeared peaceful in front of them.
She wouldn’t let them see through anything.
At least for this period, she still needed their protection.
“Alright, thank you, sorry for the trouble.”
Wen Nanxi watched the distant calm in her brows and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
She still wouldn’t fully trust them.
“No trouble.”
He had said that taking care of her was what he should do.
Yet she was still so polite.
He knew it was probably because they hadn’t done well enough before and hadn’t given her enough security.
Perhaps because they had once thought of leaving.
Before, she could be seen through at a glance, but now he couldn’t see through her at all.
She was shrouded in layers of mysterious veils, unpredictable.
Even her abilities, they had never understood.
And there had never been a precedent of a female beast having an ability.
Let alone a purification ability.
Thinking of these things, Wen Nanxi brought out all the food from the pot.
The mutton soup Wen Nanxi made was still hot.
When Su Muyao ate, both Wen Nanxi and Hua Linye watched from the side.
And Xiao Jihan had boiled a pot of brown sugar and was continuing to boil it.
He had been working seriously all along.
Su Muyao’s expression shifted, “You guys eat together too!”
“Wife Master is tired, Wife Master eat first.”
Su Muyao looked at the mutton soup in the pot; it should be enough.
But everyone was probably afraid she wouldn’t have enough to eat.
Su Muyao said, “I’ll make scallion pancakes for everyone!”
That way, eating mutton soup with scallion pancakes would be more delicious.
And more fragrant.
Eating mutton soup directly like this felt like something was missing; the taste would be bland.
Hearing this, both Wen Nanxi and Hua Linye wanted to stop Su Muyao.
“Wife Master is tired, Wife Master just rest, we aren’t hungry.”
“Right, not hungry.”
Su Muyao said, “I want to eat scallion pancakes.”
Wen Nanxi said gently, “Wife Master tell me how to do it, I’ll do it!”
Su Muyao refused, “You don’t know how to do it, I’ll do it once first.”
“Next time you’ll know how.”
Su Muyao started as soon as she said she would make scallion pancakes.
She began to peel the green onions, then chopped them. After chopping, she added salt for seasoning.
Actually, making scallion pancakes was simpler; it didn’t require so many seasonings, just a little salt.
After that, she started kneading the dough.
The dough for scallion pancakes was kneaded softer. After kneading, she pinched off small pieces and rolled them out with a rolling pin.
Rolled very thin…
Su Muyao’s movements were fast and efficient, and soon scallion pancakes were made one by one.
Watching her seriously making scallion pancakes, Hua Linye looked a bit dazed.
At this moment, looking at her, he seemed to ignore the half of her face, only feeling a moving magic about her, so focused and charming.
Wen Nanxi watched her doing these things with a pale face and couldn’t help but feel heartache.
But he knew that what she decided couldn’t be changed by others.
She said she would cook and do things, and she would do them seriously.
Sometimes she didn’t even let others help.
Xiao Jihan looked back and continued to boil the brown sugar.
When tending the fire, Wen Nanxi naturally took over.
Hua Linye wanted to help but couldn’t.
He was a bit annoyed, “Then I’ll go chop wood in the yard.”
Cooking at home required a lot of fire, so a lot of firewood was needed.
If she chopped more firewood, it would be more convenient when using it for the fire.
Actually, chopping wood was easy.
It was just that before, in order not to have much contact with Su Muyao, whenever they were responsible for guarding her at home, they would find excuses to work, mostly chopping wood in the yard.
Chopping wood from morning to night, so they could have less contact.
However, at that time, Su Muyao was angry inside and would insult them in various ways.
But no matter how she insulted them, they insisted on chopping wood in the yard. With the blade flashing, Su Muyao was also afraid, so she didn’t dare to come close.
So before, that was something they liked to do.
Now chopping wood again, Hua Linye felt a bit uncomfortable inside.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have been like that before.
However, the current Wife Master was completely different from before. It was because she had changed that his mood facing her became different.
Soon, the aroma of scallion pancakes wafted from the room.
Mei Qingchen lay resting in his room, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
His mind was full of the image of Su Muyao treating Hua Linye.
“It’s cursed, why do I always think of her!”
“Going crazy!”
Mei Qingchen couldn’t sleep at all and had to get up.
After getting up, he suddenly smelled the aroma of food again.
Originally, he didn’t feel hungry, but smelling the aroma now, he suddenly felt hungry.
He forgot he hadn’t eaten dinner yet.
This fragrance was particularly tempting to him.
He thought Su Muyao had come up with a new trick to deal with Wen Nanxi and the others.
Using food to tempt them so she could drug them at any time.
But it had been so many days, and Wen Nanxi and the others still looked normal, not like they had been drugged.
Even just now when Hua Linye took the initiative to approach Su Muyao, he was rejected and stopped by her.
This wasn’t like her!
Just now Hua Linye carried Su Muyao into the room. Don’t think he didn’t know what Hua Linye wanted to do.
If it were before, Su Muyao would have entangled him long ago.
But it was said she just fell asleep.
Hah!
Fell asleep!
Why was he so unwilling to believe it!
Mei Qingchen rubbed his brow with a headache, trying to calm himself down and not think about these things.
Not to think about anything related to Su Muyao.
…
After Su Muyao finished making the scallion pancakes, she reheated the mutton soup in the pot.
Then she served a bowl for everyone and put a few pieces of scallion pancakes for everyone.
“Everyone sit down and eat!”
Hearing Su Muyao calling for dinner, Hua Linye put down the firewood in his hand and hurried into the room.
“Wife Master is too amazing, this food smells really good.”
“So Wife Master, I don’t want to leave. If I leave, I won’t be able to eat such delicious food.”
Su Muyao smiled and said, “Then next time I cook, you can learn by the side.”
“When you learn it, you can make it yourself whenever you want to eat, without relying on others.”
No need to stay because of food.
Hearing these words, Hua Linye revealed an annoyed look.
Why did he say that? He made Wife Master misunderstand him.
“No, even if I make it or someone else makes it, it won’t be this taste.”
“I just like the taste Wife Master makes.”
Su Muyao actually knew very well that Hua Linye sometimes said a lot of sweet words, but they weren’t sincere.
Just saying it casually.
She didn’t take it seriously either. She said, “Eat quickly, taste how it is.”
Hua Linye couldn’t wait to take a bite of the scallion pancake, “Mmh, too fragrant, delicious.”
“It turns out green onions can be so delicious.”
Before, Wife Master dug green onions back, he thought it was a vegetable, but Wife Master said no.
Just used as a seasoning when cooking, didn’t expect it could be made like this.
Wen Nanxi watched Su Muyao’s calm appearance and knew she was actually a calm person and wouldn’t be easily moved.
Everyone started drinking mutton soup with scallion pancakes.
Xiao Jihan and Wen Nanxi didn’t expect that eating with scallion pancakes, the mutton soup tasted exceptionally delicious.
This meal, everyone ate well, only Mei Qingchen was suffering.
After eating enough, Wen Nanxi mentioned the little beast from the day.
“Wife Master, that should be the legendary Ice Spirit Beast.”
