So, she loosened her collar, offering the little rascal in front of her more rewards.
Lu Jin'an's expression froze for a mont before a smile broke across his face, and his gaze drifted to the simring chicken soup.
"Aunt Ruo, I suddenly thought of a delicacy." Lu Jin'an gently caressed Xiao Yinruo's cheek: "Milk tender chicken soup.
Milk has a mild nature and sweet taste, with effects like nourishing the heart and lungs, clearing heat and detoxifying, moisturizing the skin; tender chicken is beneficial for the five organs, replenishing deficiencies, strengthening the stomach and spleen, fortifying muscles and bones. Combined into a soup, it can replenish and support frail health..."
As Lu Jin'an spoke, the amusent in his eyes deepened: "For won, it can promote blood circulation, regulate nstruation, enhance skin texture and bust. Sounds nice, right?"
Xiao Yinruo's movents stalled, her eyes shyly glanced at this little rascal.
Saying so much just for, for...
Xiao Yinruo leaned her head back slightly, can't help but complain: "You're even researching recipes?"
"Mhm." Lu Jin'an looked at her with a smile: "To make you delicious food later."
After a pause, his gaze turned back to the simring chicken soup: "This dish requires a tender hen. Aunt Ruo, you're slow cooking a tender hen, right?"
"Didn't you already see it?" Xiao Yinruo sneered lightly, not believing with this rascal's eyesight he couldn't tell the chicken soup was made from a hen.
Lu Jin'an chuckled: "Then all we need is milk. Aunt Ruo, have you prepared it?"
Xiao Yinruo's gaze shifted to the side, her eyes even shyer, her voice murmuring like a mosquito: "No."
"Really?"
"Shut up!" Xiao Yinruo couldn't help but glare at him: "Always bullying Aunt."
Lu Jin'an's eyes were intense: "I want to eat."
Xiao Yinruo lowered her gaze again, her voice even softer: "Aunt will make it for you later."
"Aunt is so good."
Xiao Yinruo glared at him, to hide her inner shyness she shifted her focus back to the unfinished tasks in front of her.
Mmm... Is this considered diversion of attention?
A shy glimr flashed in Xiao Yinruo's eyes, so she simply closed them, thinking how this little rascal was leading her further down a path of indulgence~
······
Table.
Xiao Yinruo with a flushed face placed the simring milk tender hen soup on the table: "Eat, eat up!"
Lu Jin'an couldn't wait to pick up the bowl and chopsticks, recalling Aunt Ruo's stance while leaning by the stove earlier.
That particular image paired perfectly as the finest accompanint to this dish.
As she watched him eat, Xiao Yinruo couldn't help but say: "Eat slower, aren't you afraid of getting burned?"
"I'm truly not afraid." Lu Jin'an pulled Xiao Yinruo's hand to sit beside him, offering the bowl and chopsticks to her mouth: "You try it too."
Xiao Yinruo turned her head: "Bullying Aunt again, huh?"
"It's very fragrant." Lu Jin'an coaxed softly: "Really, you'll know once you try it."
Xiao Yinruo glanced at him, rolled her eyes, but picked up the chopsticks and sent a piece of chicken to her mouth:"Alright, I've tried it."
"Have a sip of the soup."
"Didn't Aunt just drink it?" Xiao Yinruo blinked at him, her eyes filled with shyness yet seemingly teasing.
Lu Jin'an was startled, then realized she was referring to what she did in the kitchen earlier.
Thus, he felt happy: "Indeed, Aunt you've already tasted it."
Seeing his smug expression, Xiao Yinruo couldn't help but pinch his waist: "Quickly eat up, if not I'll see how Aunt settles you."
"I'll definitely finish this big bowl of chicken soup." Lu Jin'an said with a smile: "Not a drop for Zhiyu."
"There's more in the kitchen, this whole table is yours." Xiao Yinruo smiled at him, enunciating clearly: "You~must~finish~it~all~"
Lu Jin'an's eyelid twitched as Xiao Yinruo leaned closer: "You'll listen to Aunt, right?"
"Of course." Lu Jin'an nodded firmly, even if it ant straining his stomach, he couldn't let down Aunt Ruo's heartfelt effort.
"Oh, and~" Xiao Yinruo continued smiling: "No using spiritual power or vigorous force, okay~"
Lu Jin'an chuckled dryly, Aunt Ruo teasing him was as impactful as his master.
Since that's the case... I guess I'll have to let my stomach suffer.
Moreover, Aunt Ruo is more gentle than Master, surely she can't bear it.
In fact, Xiao Yinruo couldn't bear it, so after teasing him thoroughly, she contentedly stood up: "Aunt will go get the herbs you need."
Yi Beiyao and others previously gathered a few necessary herbs and sent them to the entrance of the Secret Realm, so Xiao Yinruo left the kitchen, raised her delicate hand and collected these herbs.
Of course, she didn't imdiately return, instead allowing the little rascal to cheat and eat his fill of the delicious spread while she headed to the bedroom, looking at the soundly sleeping Zhiyu.
The gentle smile on her face eased slightly, while she knew Zhiyu was a silly girl, it didn't an she couldn't give her so lessons.
At the very least, she should no longer cause harm to Jin'an.
Xiao Yinruo took graceful steps to the bedside, reaching out to tap Zhiyu's forehead, watching as Zhiyu slowly opened her eyes, and began: "Do you know you made your master bleed?"
Zhiyu blinked in confusion, then sat up: "Bleed, bleed?"
"Yes." Xiao Yinruo took out a Capturing Stone, letting Zhiyu see how the four Dragon Claws hurt Lu Jin'an during the Crossing Tribulation.
She could tell Zhiyu knew bleeding was a painful thing, so Zhiyu must understand one thing.
Jin'an is not only her master but also a man to her, Wanyu, and others!
At this mont, looking at the scene in the Capturing Stone, Zhiyu's face paled; she had been hurt before, so she understood injuries were very painful.
Especially the scene she saw now... the pain was palpable.
How painful must Master feel?
Zhiyu's small mouth moved, looking rather helpless.
Xiao Yinruo's eyelids lowered slightly, her voice still cool: "So, you..."
Her sentence trailed off, eyes widening as blood splattered in her sight, only to see Zhiyu claw her own snowy-white thigh.
Xiao Yinruo's lips parted, watching as tears welled in Zhiyu's eyes, she whimpered while crawling off the bed: "It's really so painful, Zhiyu wants to apologize to Master, boo boo..."
Watching Zhiyu rub her eyes and limp out, Xiao Yinruo hurriedly stood to help her quickly nd the wound, her gaze slightly complex.
This silly little girl...
She was truly surprised Zhiyu would abruptly experience the pain firsthand.
To say this little girl grew up, or that deep in her heart, she already considered Jin'an the most important person?
Xiao Yinruo gently wiped away tears from Zhiyu's eyes, her voice softened.
"Jin'an certainly won't bla you."
"Really?"
"Really."
