Yun Yun?

Ye Yun immediately recognized the voice of the woman outside.

Why would she come over so late?

To deliver chicken soup?

The corners of Ye Yun's mouth twitched; he couldn't just say that out loud. Anyone who didn't know the context might think there was something wrong with the soup.

Slap!

Ye Yun walked out of the manor and opened the door to the shop.

Outside the door, Yun Yun stood quietly, holding a food container in her hand.

Ye Yun's eyes lit up, a flash of astonishment crossing his face.

He saw that Yun Yun was dressed in a thin, moon-white long dress, revealing two slender, jade-white calves beneath the hem. Her raven-black hair cascaded down her back and over her chest, making it look as if she had just bathed. Her flawless face and temperament were breathtakingly beautiful.

A faint smile appeared on her exquisite face, and Yun Yun said in a light, ethereal voice, "Boss Ye, I hope I'm not disturbing you by calling so late at night."

"Not at all, I was just about to have a midnight snack myself."

Ye Yun shook his head and gestured with the instant noodles in his hand.

"That's perfect, then."

Hearing this, Yun Yun glanced at the instant noodles in Ye Yun's hand, a charming smile spreading across her face as she said slowly, "I brewed some chicken soup; please, Boss Ye, have a taste."

As she spoke, Yun Yun lifted the food container in her hand.

"Great, drinking chicken soup is such a wonderful thing; it's my absolute favorite."

Ye Yun smiled and stepped back to let Yun Yun inside, but suddenly, a thought struck him, and he looked at her with a stunned expression: "Wait, you said... you made this chicken soup yourself?"

Ye Yun had read the original work, and he clearly remembered that Yun Yun was supposed to be completely incapable of cooking.

So, what was going on with this soup?

Oh no, has he discovered it?

Hearing Ye Yun's words, the jade-like hand holding the container trembled slightly, but Yun Yun forced herself to remain calm, smiling as she said, "That's right, I made it myself."

She looked at Ye Yun, a graceful, faint smile never leaving her face: "Boss Ye, this is chicken soup made from the Misty Cloud Sect's specialty, the Cloud-Colored Chicken. It tastes sweet and savory; you should have a good taste in a moment."

Yun Yun felt very confident about the taste of the soup.

She had specifically selected a female disciple from the sect who was exceptionally skilled in culinary arts to brew it with great care.

Before bringing it over, Yun Yun had inspected it herself.

The taste was indeed excellent.

Watching the confident smile on Yun Yun's face, Ye Yun was stunned.

Did she really make this?

Could it be that the records in the original work were wrong?

Was Yun Yun actually skilled at cooking?

However, Ye Yun didn't dwell on it for long.

Regardless of whether Yun Yun made it herself or not, as long as there was food to eat, that was enough.

Besides, this was chicken soup delivered by Yun Yun personally.

Drinking it would be a delightful experience.

"Sect Master Yun is truly thoughtful."

Following that, Ye Yun reached out to take the food container from Yun Yun's hand and placed it on the counter.

Thinking of the task she had come for today, Yun Yun hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly: "Boss Ye, you should just call me by my name. Calling me Sect Master Yun is far too formal."

Hearing this, Ye Yun was taken aback. He looked at Yun Yun; this woman seemed quite enthusiastic today.

Was I being too obvious with my behavior?

Meeting Ye Yun's gaze, Yun Yun's heart skipped a beat. Feeling slightly flustered, she forced herself to remain calm and said softly, "What is it? Does Boss Ye find that inappropriate?"

"No."

Ye Yun shook his head, a smile appearing on his face: "In that case, you should call me Ye Yun as well. Calling me 'Boss' is just as formal."

When a beautiful woman expressed a desire for closeness, how could Ye Yun refuse such a good thing?

Yun Yun was stunned for a moment; this Boss Ye was actually quite easy to get along with.

She then smiled brightly and said softly, "Alright then, I will call you Ye Yun from now on."

Next, Ye Yun opened the food container, and the fragrance immediately wafted out, making his mouth water.

A look of surprise appeared in Ye Yun's eyes. This chicken soup really was made by Yun Yun; he hadn't expected her to have such a hidden talent for cooking.

It was truly unexpected.

He immediately praised her: "This chicken soup is incredibly fragrant; it must taste delicious. I never imagined that someone in such a high position would have such amazing culinary skills."

Yun Yun felt a bit embarrassed by the praise, her pretty face flushing slightly as she said, "I'm glad you like it."

Ye Yun did not stand on ceremony; he picked up the bowl and chopsticks from the food box, served himself a bowl of chicken soup, and took a careful sip.

"Not bad. The seasoning is just right, the broth is fresh and flavorful. This chicken soup is delicious," Ye Yun slowly evaluated.

"Come, you should have some too."

With a flick of his finger, a chair appeared out of thin air behind Yun Yun, and he proceeded to serve her a bowl of chicken soup as well.

"Alright."

Yun Yun did not decline and sat down directly.

Yun Yun took an elegant sip of the soup, then looked at Ye Yun and asked, "Ye Yun, are you leaving the Misty Cloud Sect after tomorrow?"

Ye Yun finished his bowl of soup in a few gulps and nodded, "Yes, once midnight passes tomorrow, I will be leaving the Misty Cloud Sect."

"Come to think of it, this is your first time visiting my Misty Cloud Sect, and I haven't even properly entertained you yet. Why don't you stay a while longer? As the holy land of the Jia Ma Empire, the scenery here is quite nice," Yun Yun suggested, looking at Ye Yun with an expectant expression.

Looking at the expectant look on the beauty before him, it would be a lie to say Ye Yun wasn't tempted.

But he knew his own situation; things were not up to him, so he shook his head and said, "I apologize, but I can only stay at the Misty Cloud Sect for three days. That is the rule of my shop."

Seeing Ye Yun refuse so directly, Yun Yun felt a wave of disappointment. As expected, this mysterious Boss Ye was not so easily won over.

Her teacher had been too naive; thinking she could make him stay with just a bowl of chicken soup—how could that be possible?

After a moment of silence, Yun Yun asked, unwilling to give up, "Then where do you plan to go after three days? If I want to open more jars in the future, where should I look for you?"

Ye Yun was taken aback, thinking to himself that he didn't even know that. The system refreshed his location randomly; for all he knew, he might end up in some primeval forest or a mass grave next time.

Therefore, he could not give Yun Yun a promise and shook his head, "I have always let nature take its course and never choose locations specifically. Wherever the shop appears when I wake up, that is where I open for business."

"You mean your shop can move on its own?" Yun Yun looked at Ye Yun in surprise, then scanned the interior of the shop once more.

She suddenly remembered that this mysterious shop had also appeared suddenly outside the gates of the Misty Cloud Sect.

Ye Yun nodded in confirmation, "That is correct."

After a moment of astonishment, a flash of disappointment crossed Yun Yun's eyes. If that were the case, would she never be able to run into this Boss Ye again?

After all, the world was vast; how could she possibly know where this Boss Ye would appear next?
