"Ahem, let's just forget about that. I remember a good restaurant. How about we go dine there?"

Lycaon quickly spoke up to stop them.

"Going out to eat, how can that show our sincerity, Lord Lycaon?"

Fu Hua glanced at Lina, then looked at Lycaon and said.

"Could it be that Miss Lina's cooking skills are a bit terrifying?"

Instantly, the entire spacious living room fell silent.

Lycaon and Kelvin stared in shock at the dumbfounded Fu Hua.

"How could that be~ Miss Fu Hua, I practice cooking diligently every day."

Rubbing his chin, Fu Hua waved his hand.

"How about this, for tonight's dinner, how about I do it? I have some experience in cooking."

"Is that so? Then I'll trouble Miss Fu Hua. It's about time Lina let us try something new, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Lycaon quickly said to Lina.

"Yes, yes! Head Maid, Ke, Kelvin also thinks you need to rest."

"Hmph~ Why are you guys like this! Ailian is so much better, she always eats all my cooking."

Seeing their excuses, Lina was very sad and said, fiddling with her hands.

Patting Lina's shoulder, Fu Hua took off his gloves and put them in his pocket.

He then rolled up his sleeves and said in a calm tone.

"Miss Lina, how about you help me out? We can learn from each other."

Instantly, Lina looked at Fu Hua with emotion.

"Okay, Miss Fu Hua, we'll learn from each other."

Although he didn't know how Fu Hua's cooking skills were, Lycaon still leaned against the kitchen door to observe.

In case the two of them created any biological weapons, he could escape with Kelvin.

However, he was indeed worrying too much. Fu Hua's cooking skills could be described as outstanding.

Her figure was straight, and her movements were skilled.

The knife light continuously flashed over the fish on the cutting board.

The beautiful and neat knife work greatly surprised Lina.

Marinating, adding ingredients, coating with starch.

Deep frying.

Then, pouring oil into a new pot, adding tomato sauce, lemon juice, and other fruits.

Simmering the sweet and sour sauce.

Then, adding the fish that had been cut with decorative marks.

Plating it.

"First dish, Squirrel Mandarin Fish!"

Placing the plated Squirrel Mandarin Fish on a side table.

The overflowing sweet and sour aroma and the smell of fish made Ailian, who was playing games, tremble.

Her shark tail straightened up.

"What's that smell? It's so fragrant."

Putting down her phone, she walked to the kitchen door and looked inside.

She saw the golden Squirrel Mandarin Fish on the table.

"So that's what it is. A fish dish shaped like a squirrel, with a rich color and a fragrant aroma. The taste must not be bad at all."

As a Wolf Xi person, Lycaon naturally felt the urge to taste it.

However, his gentlemanly demeanor suppressed his desire, and he reached out to stop the restless Ailian.

"Let's wait until dinner time, Ailian."

After that, Fu Hua stewed a pot of braised pork and stir-fried several home-style dishes.

After cleaning the tableware, several hours had passed.

Wiping her hands with a towel, she smiled at the people by the door.

"Thank you for waiting, everyone. Dinner is ready."

"Finally! We can eat, my teeth are almost worn down!"

Ailian rushed forward as she spoke.

She picked up a fork, dug out a large piece of fish, and stuffed it into her mouth.

Shaking her head, Lycaon also sat down at the dining table and began to taste it.

"I didn't expect Miss Fu Hua to be such a skilled cook. I..."

"There's no need for that, Miss Lina. I'm sure your cooking just had a few minor issues.

The overall direction was not wrong."

"Miss Fu Hua—"

"The so-called cooking often requires simplifying complex procedures and refining them.

It's not about pursuing a sense of luxury and appearance that is flashy but insubstantial."

"When Miss Lina understands the core of cooking, which is simply to make food delicious and nutritious.

Then you will likely become a qualified chef too."

"Yes, what Miss Fu Hua said makes sense."

After the meal, while clearing the table, Lycaon found Fu Hua.

"Um, Fu Hua, I have something to ask of you."

"Please, go ahead."

"Based on the previous assessment, I understand you are very knowledgeable.

So I'd like to ask you to go to Ailian's high school."

"The identity has also been arranged. I'm worried about this child, so I'd like you to look after her."

"Hmm... you want me to go to school?"

"No, no, because the identity I arranged is a teacher at their school."

"A teacher?"

"Yes, I saw earlier that you were very young but had an exceptionally skilled disciple in combat.

I'm sure your teaching ability is beyond doubt."

"I can do that. Since it's Lycaon's request, I will do my best."

"Yes, thank you for your cooperation. Don't worry, it won't be too troublesome."

"It's getting very late. I'm going home. We can discuss the teacher matter further on our phones."

"Okay, Miss Fu Hua. Please be careful on your way back."

Nodding, Fu Hua left Victoria Housekeeping and returned to her home.

As she pushed the door open, she saw Cuiji eating a hamburger in the living room.

"Cuiji, I'm back."

"Master, you're finally back! Do you want a hamburger?"

"No, I already ate at Victoria's."

Sitting down on the sofa, Fu Hua looked at the table full of hamburgers with some helplessness.

"Can you eat all of this?"

"Hehe, of course! These are all the styles Captain Anby ordered, so I have to try them all.

This way, I can be with Captain Anby..."

She reached out and tapped the other's head.

"Don't have such thoughts in your head."

"Ah, okay, Master."

"By the way, tomorrow I might be going to school for some work and won't have time to teach you.

Don't be lazy or slack off."

"There will be assessments every month after this. If you regress..."

Cuiji's mood instantly became tense.

"I'll confiscate the Anbi posters in your room."

!!!!

"Yes! Master, don't worry, I won't regress."

The next morning.

Fu Hua went to Ailian's school in her White Night Butler form.

According to Lycaon's message, she has now become a Chinese teacher.

To supervise the other's studies.

The school management here is quite lenient.

From 8 AM to 3 PM. There's also a break at noon.

It can be said that it's not too troublesome.

Inside a classroom at the school.

Ailian was currently napping on her desk.

Her deskmate Ruby was chatting with Mona and Lin.

Mona said seriously.

"Hey, hey, have you guys heard? We have a new Chinese teacher in our class."

"Oh, oh~ I get it. This teacher must be some kind of elite, or an old lady, right?"

Lin adjusted her glasses and analyzed.

"Ah~ I don't want that~ I'm already sleepy in Chinese class.

If it's an old lady's voice, it'll be even more like a lullaby mixed with sleeping pills."

Upon hearing this, Ruby clutched her head and wailed.

This made it difficult for Ailian to sleep even if she wanted to.

"It's fine, I don't care who the Chinese teacher is, as long as they don't disturb my sleep."

Muttering softly, Ailian got up, deciding to sleep later when class started.

The preparatory bell rang. As Fu Hua walked into the classroom holding two textbooks, the class immediately became noisy.

Ailian reluctantly shifted her gaze from the window to the podium. Upon seeing the gray figure, her pupils instantly contracted.
