Turns Out the Immortal Leader Works Nine to Five

It must be said, Xian Kui's house is really quite big.

While it's not exactly outrageous... after all, Cong Yu and her group had seen the mansions of the Four Great Families Wind City.

In contrast, Xian Kui lives alone.

The house was merely a large courtyard within the Bright Moon Immortal Sect. But since it was a "large courtyard," it was obviously quite large.

Moreover, compared to those family mansions...

It seems a bit too "cold" here.

It can be completely cold

The area was described as "clean" (清), and the number of hired workers was not large; they were rarely seen.

Garden with artificial hills, bamboo groves, and greenery.

Apart from a stone table and chairs, a cushion and teacups... that's all you see at a glance, nothing else.

It looks exactly like the kind of secluded place for cultivation in some fantasy drama.

Unfortunately, because there was absolutely no one there, it was strangely a little creepy.

"Wow, how scary! I feel like a female ghost in white might jump out from any corner at any moment!"

Yaochuan Guang couldn't help but scare everyone like that, and... apart from Lantian Zhu, who was naturally afraid of ghosts, no one else reacted.

Including Yaochuan Guang himself, they had no reverence for ghosts or monsters... because they were powerful enough.

A white-clad female ghost jumps out?

Okay, let her come then.

Let her know that my Jormungandr Train / Little Sprite / Takemikazuchi Thunder / Crimson Crystal / Bright Moon Sword are not to be trifled with.

"This... is where you live, Xian Kui?"

Looking around, Yaochuan Guang followed Xian Kui, who was leading the way to the kitchen, and remarked, "So you're some kind of reclusive master... you know, the kind of old man with white hair."

A reclusive master? A white-haired old man.

Xian Kui felt somewhat innocent...

Although she looks older than the magical girl from Japan, she's not some white-haired old man, is she?

She's still young, she's still young.

However, compared to this, Xian Kui was more worried about something else at the moment, namely Yaochuan Guang's statement that she wanted to use the kitchen (to demonstrate her skills).

According to Yaochuan Guang herself, she has absolutely no idea how to cook China cuisine... in other words, she's a complete novice.

Even with his mastery of other cuisines, which allowed him to apply his knowledge to other dishes, Xian Kui was still worried about dinner tonight.

With these thoughts in mind, Xian Kui looked at the kitchen behind him with some worry, and then saw Cong Yu and the others slowly coming out.

Only the child named Yaochuan Guang remained in the kitchen.

W-what happened? What's wrong?

In response to Xian Kui's hesitation, Cong Yu simply said, "She doesn't like being watched while she's cooking, so she pushed us out."

Thinking this, Cong Yu looked at the crows perched on the branches in the courtyard...

He was somewhat apprehensive about the quality of the dishes Yaochuan Guang would serve, and he always felt that he would be poisoned to death, and then have his corpse devoured by this crow.

Yaochuan Guang, I hope you'll show mercy.

Seemingly sensing Cong Yu's devotion, Xiao Cui coughed lightly. "Ahem... It seems that Sister Yaochuan is quite skilled."

As she said this, a shimmering emerald light appeared in one of Xiao Cui's eyes... This proved that she was spying.

Well, using the word "peeping" might seem a bit lewd and doesn't quite fit Xiao Cui's cuteness.

So to be more precise...

Xiao Cui was using Little Sprite hiding in some corner to secretly peek at Yaochuan Guang while he was cooking.

This is what is called "watching secretly".

"Yaochuan's sister is holding her phone, looking for videos related to the ingredients in the refrigerator... No wonder she wouldn't let us watch them."

As Xiao Cui followed the group, guided by Xian Kui to familiarize herself with the route, she simultaneously gave a live broadcast. "Sister Yaochuan is making something I don't recognize. But it looks pretty good in the video, and then..."

Cong Yu and Xian Kui felt a little relieved after hearing Xiao Cui's words, and felt at ease.

If Yaochuan Guang simply followed the instructions in the video step by step, he would never have made food so bad it was almost unbearable.

Thinking this, Cong Yu stepped across the marble steps on the lawn in the courtyard, glancing at the crows...

The other party didn't seem to want to eat its own rotting corpse anymore.

(Crow: Baka yarou! Can I even bite that?)

"..." Lantian Zhu silently looked at Xian Kui and Cong Yu, who were relieved, and didn't quite understand their reaction. "I've been wanting to ask this since just now."

Saying this so casually, Lantian Zhu tilted his head and said, "Little Guang clearly knows how to cook, is there any need for him to go in and give instructions?"

Indeed, Yaochuan Guang definitely knows how to cook.

But China cuisine is quite different...

I have a friend.

To explain this, Cong Yu began quietly... and this was certainly not made up out of thin air, but rather a genuine friend.

"She can cook, but only dishes like potato stew, which are basically potato stew with fish and potato stew with radishes."

"Once, I asked her to grill fish..."

As Cong Yu spoke, her eyes flickered, recalling a disgusting meal from the distant past. "And then we passed out."

The logic in this description, from "I made her grill fish" to "we were unconscious," is quite fragmented.

However, it was enough to make everyone present feel the horror.

"That's when I learned that someone familiar with one type of dish isn't necessarily good at another..."

"Although many Japan dishes Metamorphosis China cuisine, there are just too many China dishes, and I have some concerns."

Cong Yu said this, then showed a relieved expression. "However, since Yaochuan Guang can do it, there shouldn't be much of a problem, right...?"

Regarding Cong Yu's words, Jianyu

Lei silently clasped his hands together and prayed, "Amitabha, Inari Okami protect me."

(Tamamo: Meow?)

"..." Strikes Church pose, chants Amitabha, hoping the fox god, whose divine function is food, will bless you...

There's nothing wrong with praying to the god of food.

But if I were God, I certainly wouldn't bless you.

After Yaochuan Guang slowly completed the synthesis of dinner by referring to the synthesis table, the food served looked quite normal.

Whether it's the "chicken soup" that goes "Haha, chicken soup is here," or the bright red Mapo Tofu that you learned from watching some video, they are both perfectly normal foods.

It's safe to say that when Japan people talk about Chinese cuisine, Mapo Tofu is definitely something they can't avoid, so it's normal for Yaochuan Guang to want to make it.

Thankfully, they didn't serve General Tso's chicken and fortune cookies.

However, even seemingly normal food might have some unusual aspects... So, are there?

Yes, it is exceptionally delicious.

"It's delicious, almost as good as Cong Yu's cooking."

As Hong spoke, she revealed that she had eaten Cong Yu's cooking before.

"Oh, it's delicious!"

Xiao Cui cheered.

"Amam Amam--"

Takemikazuchi sat at his seat, eating voraciously with a napkin around his neck... He could use a knife and fork, otherwise he probably wouldn't even be qualified to sit at the table.

Of course, he himself doesn't mind eating on the ground.

After all, when he used to sleep in the park, the people who fed him would put him on the ground or a chair to feed him.

"As expected of Little Guang, I want to eat Little Guang's cooking for the rest of my life, even after Little Guang gets married."

Lantian Zhu praised him in this way, silently carrying out her "mysterious plan," which was Subtle Influence Plan.

Of course, the only part of the plan that Yaochuan Guang himself hadn't discovered was...

But no matter what...

Yaochuan Guang's first experience with China cuisine ended quite satisfactorily!

Bar?

--

"Quack! It's so spicy! So spicy! So spicy!"

Xiao Cui wailed.

"..." Lantian Zhu was already unconscious.

"Aba aba--"

Takemikazuchi was stunned, drooling.

"Hmm... indeed, it's super spicy."

Yaochuan Guang spoke, he stuck out his tongue and panted, and the more he looked at it, the more it resembled a... cough cough.

With a flushed face Yaochuan Guang searched for water, then looked at Xian Kui, Cong Yu, and Teacher Hong, who seemed unharmed. "..."

People who can handle this level of spiciness are terrifying.

No, she did it exactly as shown in the video, so...

Are all China people monsters?

Chapter 677 The Xian Kui Actually Works 9 to 5

Yaochuan Guang has awakened... not that she has awakened or anything like that, but that she has awakened.

To put it simply, she woke up from her sleep.

Half-asleep, Yaochuan Guang reached to his left... but found nothing.

In a hazy, half-awake state, Yaochuan Guang reached out to his right again... but still found nothing.

Then, Yaochuan Guang, who had been hesitant, slowly opened his eyes.

Then I immediately saw the chandelier directly above the bed.

"A... unfamiliar ceiling."

Yaochuan Guang, who had long wanted to say something like that in novels or anime, fluently uttered the predetermined line.

Then, as Yaochuan Guang regained consciousness, he realized that he was in Xian Kui's house.

I slept alone last night too.

It wasn't like at home, sleeping in a shared bed with everyone... or was it a shared bed?

(Cong Yu:???)

(Cong Yu: That's my bed! That's my bed! Hey!)

That said, why does it feel like I was having a dream, and even talking to someone in the dream?

As Yaochuan Guang thought this, she rubbed her eyes, sat up straight, and carefully pondered the matter of her dream.

However, his memories were too few; all Yaochuan Guang could confirm was that he seemed to have dreamt...

I don't remember anything at all.

Just like readers who haven't even seen this part of the content, they are completely confused.

"Hehe, well... whatever--"
