Cook Wants to Teach Shadow How to Cook

This tiny dump of a place called Holy Soul Village did not even have a single snack stall.

There really was nothing left to stroll around and see.

Under the shade of a tree, Starry Sky lay on Raiden Ei's springy thighs, so comfortable that he was about to fall asleep.

Starry Sky said he was tired and needed to rest, and just like that, he earned this blissful scene.

Lying in Raiden Ei's absolute territory.

As he fiddled with her pair of dark purple stockings, Starry Sky felt as though he were in heaven.

"Hm? Rested enough?" After resting for a while, Starry Sky quickly got back up.

He could not just indulge in Raiden Ei's lap pillow. Two lovely wives were still waiting for him at home.

Besides, it was time to eat.

Mei's cooking was the most eagerly anticipated.

Starry Sky's eyes were full of expectation. "Mei must have finished cooking! Shadow, let's hurry back."

At the mention of food, Raiden Ei thought of the sweet, cloying pastries she had asked Mei to make.

She could not help licking her dry lips.

She had come out for a walk thinking she might find a stall in Holy Soul Village and have a little pre-meal dessert.

Who would have thought that such a small village would have a place like that?

Without pastries, she was so anxious she was about to cry and make a fuss. Sob, sob, so pitiful.

Raiden Ei turned one step into two and hurried toward the village chief's house.

"Shadow... w-wait for me..." Starry Sky was still only half-grown. How could he possibly keep up with Raiden Ei's pace?

Before long, he was panting heavily, unable to catch his breath.

Sweet pastries were calling to Raiden Ei from ahead. How could she simply stop moving forward?

So she scooped Starry Sky into her arms.

Starry Sky felt Raiden Ei's broad chest, soft and comfortable.

His eyes immediately narrowed into slits.

As expected of an older sister with lightning powers. Not a single one of them was built with Quantum Collapse.

Whoosh, whoosh...

After picking up Starry Sky, Raiden Ei became even faster. With several flashes, she returned to the village chief's house.

Good thing it was not Underworld. Based on Starry Sky's understanding of her, if he wanted to go home for a meal, she would first drag him around half of Douluo Continent, and in the end they might not even make it back here.

When they returned home, they saw Mei chatting merrily with Old Jack. Underworld was quieter, sitting to one side and eating peach cakes.

"Captain, Shadow, you came back at just the right time. Hurry and wash your hands, then sit down and eat with us."

Mei stood up and warmly welcomed Starry Sky and Raiden Ei.

"Okay, Mei! You worked hard today."

Starry Sky thanked her as he washed his hands.

"Hehe, being able to make everyone happy with the food fills me with energy." Mei smiled gently.

Then she and Raiden Ei sat down together.

Raiden Ei picked up a pastry and chewed it.

"So sweet. It seems to be carrots and sweet potatoes. To think such simple ingredients can make something this delicious!"

After one bite, Raiden Ei's eyes immediately sparkled! She even had the illusion that I could do it too if I tried.

Raiden Mei watched Raiden Ei peacefully. At first glance, Raiden Ei seemed dignified and imposing, but upon closer inspection, her face and somewhat old-fashioned hairstyle...

No matter how one looked at her, she resembled a housewife taking care of children at home.

Raiden Mei smiled warmly. "If Shadow wants to learn, I can teach you!"

"Huh? Raiden Mei is teaching the Raiden Shogun how to cook!" Starry Sky raised his head, disbelief in his eyes.

As everyone knew, neither the Shogun nor Shadow could cook.

And Mei was also known as the Cook.

What kind of sparks would fly when these two came together?

Starry Sky was greatly looking forward to it.

Underworld raised her bewildered face again and looked at Starry Sky, as though she had something to ask.

"Underworld? What's wrong?" Starry Sky tilted his head and asked.

Underworld stared blankly at Starry Sky for a long while before a few words slipped from her mouth:

"When you keep looking at me like that, I get troubled too."

Uh...

Starry Sky was speechless. Clearly, Underworld had looked at him first, wearing an expression as though she wanted to speak but hesitated.

Could Nihility have affected her even more here?

That made sense. From the very beginning, Underworld had seemed absent-minded.

What could he do now to help his wife Underworld?

A pained expression appeared on Starry Sky's face. He reached out and wiped the bits of cake stuck to Underworld's face.

He smiled gently. "Underworld, eat more slowly. You got it all over your face."

Hearing this, Underworld blankly wiped her face with her hand, thinking there was still more on it.

Old Jack watched the harmonious scene with a gratified expression.

He felt the urge to cry. He had raised Starry Sky for six years, and now it felt as though he had reached the moment of marrying off his daughter.

"Kong, Lord Soul Master said your talent is extraordinary. You also have three beautiful older sisters by your side. In three months, the new students will begin classes at the Soul Master Academy. Kong, once you get there, you must study hard and become a great Soul Master in the future!"

Old Jack was sobbing and sniffling, looking as though Starry Sky were about to leave for school right away.

Mei handed Old Jack a tissue. "Grandpa Jack, don't worry. We'll definitely take good care of Kong."

"Mhm, mhm! You're all good children. I believe in you! I believe in you."

In Old Jack's eyes, Starry Sky was a divine child from the heavens, while these three beauties were the protectors sent by the gods to guard him.

Since they had been arranged by the gods, they were naturally the best.

He was simply a little reluctant to see Starry Sky away from home in the days to come.

"Going to school..." To be honest, having lived another life, Starry Sky truly did not want to attend school on Douluo Continent again.

But when he thought of his three wives, they surely wanted to leave behind some unforgettable memories in this world too.

Going to school, finding companions, going on adventures together... these were all indispensable experiences of growing up.

They might seem ordinary, yet they were the kind of things one could never truly forget.

Thinking about it that way, Starry Sky no longer resisted attending the Soul Master Academy so much.

Especially with his three wives accompanying him as teaching assistants.

Because if he ever got tired in class, Starry Sky could truly act spoiled in his three wives' arms and pour out his grievances.

Unlike in his previous life, where he buried every bit of pressure in his heart and only allowed his soul to be gradually eroded by darkness.

"Mei, is my sword-swinging posture correct?"

After the meal, Starry Sky waved his Katana like someone eagerly awaiting praise from an adult, displaying the results of his training over the years.

After watching, Mei clapped her hands.

"Kong, it's truly impressive that you can do this already~! Keep training like this every day, and in the future, Kong will definitely be able to fully inherit my Hokushin Ittō-ryū."

"Awesome! Mei, now that I have Soul Power and the power of lightning, my foundation is solid. Mei, can you teach me those cool sword techniques?"

Starry Sky's face was full of longing. Before, he had only simply swung the blade in his hand and practiced a few basic moves.

But they had merely been ordinary slashes from an ordinary person.

Only with the power of thunder could he perform swift and decisive techniques, fast as lightning!
