A Delicacy of the Mortal World?!

Absolutely unnecessary!

Now, with his points, plus the scattered gains from previous check-ins and what he's already spent, he has 150 points left. He doesn't know what he can exchange them for.

They even gave me 100 bottles of Special Healing Potion after my last 10-pull! Good grief, does this mean I'm supposed to go and save lives?

Ling Xiaoyu used up one bottle when she had a fever, so there are still 99 bottles left.

However, Ling Feng also knew that this thing was still useful; it not only provided him with an extra layer of protection, but could also help those around him when necessary.

Of course, it's best if you never need to use it. Peace and health are paramount; everyone benefits.

So there was nothing to do today. Originally, Ling Luoluo wanted to ask Ling Feng to play with her, but Ling Feng told her to go watch anime by herself and didn't want to talk to her at all.

"Brother Ling Feng, can you find me a good anime? I'll definitely like what you like!"

Ling Luoluo pouted and said with absolute certainty.

"Well, that works too."

Ling Feng didn't say much. He picked up the remote, opened his favorites, and started playing the video he hadn't finished watching last time...

Yosuga no Sora??

And Yu didn't close the door!

Seeing this, Ling Feng was so frightened that he quickly switched to another anime and started watching "Gonna Be the Twin-Tail!!!"

"Instant noodle anime is great with rice," Ling Feng said casually.

"Uh-huh!"

Ling Luoluo nodded vigorously, looking at the TV screen with great excitement. The opening theme started, and several girls wearing blue, yellow, and red battle suits appeared on the screen! And they all had pigtails!

As the background music started playing, Ling Luoluo also became excited.

"Brother Ling Feng, what's the name of this character?"

Ling Luoluo stared at the screen with starry eyes, asking with great curiosity.

Ling Feng did not answer immediately after hearing this. He simply glanced at the girl with red pigtails on the TV, the protagonist of the story, Souji Mitsuka!

Then, calmly, he began, "<Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai, because he was afraid of getting hurt, maxed out his agility, but ended up being too fast and crashing headfirst into the shield of the bunny girl senpai. He was then transported to Sword Art Online, becoming the Black Butler and beginning his Re: Zero -Starting Life in Another World-, where he embarks on a bizarre adventure with JoJo.>"

"Ha?"

Ignoring Ling Luoluo's stunned expression, Ling Feng finished speaking and walked out the door. He was going to the market to buy groceries for lunch!

Although he often passed by the market before, Ling Feng had never actually gone to buy groceries. When he was at home, he almost always relied on Ling Xiaoyu. Now that he thought about it, he realized that he had indeed been quite heartless.

But at least I handed over most of my earnings, right? Treating it as wages seems somewhat reasonable, doesn't it?

Upon entering the market, one is immediately struck by the bustling, crowded scene.

Colorful vegetables sit quietly on the shelves, waiting to be bought; fish splash in the water, attracting attention; a dazzling array of goods, everything imaginable.

Ling Feng muttered to himself what vegetables to buy, then turned around and went to pick them out. Aunt Guo's bargaining skills were too good; Ling Feng was ripped off by a full five yuan.

And he didn't even know it!

Ling Feng just felt it was a bit expensive, but didn't think much of it. It was his first time buying these things, and he didn't know the real price. He just believed whatever others said, which made him seem naive!

"You're quite handsome, young man. My granddaughter is still single. Why don't you two get to know each other? All these dishes are free for you!"

Just as Ling Feng was about to hand over the money, the older woman suddenly said to him with a kind expression. Ling Feng was speechless and was about to shake his head to refuse when suddenly the money in his hand was snatched away!

Not only Ling Feng, but even the old lady was stunned.

This is...

They robbed people in broad daylight?!

Ling Feng was stunned when he saw who it was.

"Qiu, Qiu-tong?"

"Good morning, Ling Feng. Don't say anything yet."

At this moment, the girl who was talking to Ling Feng was none other than Qiu Yun'er, and she was still holding the money that had been snatched from him!

"Hey! Tomatoes are two yuan a pound now! You're selling them to my classmate for seven yuan a pound?! Isn't that blatant robbery?!"

After Qiu Yun'er finished speaking, she turned around and pointed at the old lady, shouting.

"Two... two pieces?!"

Holy crap?!

Did I get scammed?

I'll fuck your old man!

Ling Feng initially thought vegetables were just that expensive, but little did he know he'd been scammed!

Oh my god!

Even buying groceries can lead to being scammed. I should have done my research before going out!

The feelings are still there~

(!)

It's all a mess!

Compiling this list of thank-you notes...

I... am still not satisfied...

It got completely messy towards the end! People might have even been carefully repeating the same thing! Please forgive me, my eyes are blurry!

If I accidentally missed anyone, please leave a message, I definitely won't check it!!

No way! How could I possibly have worked on any of them??

Grateful!!

Accompanying you all the way~

Chapter Twenty-Four: A Delicious Treat?!

Later, with Qiu Yun'er's help, Ling Feng was able to buy the vegetables he wanted at a reasonable price!

Because of this, Ling Feng now looks at Qiu Yun'er with a hint of gratitude!

"I didn't expect Ling Feng to be out grocery shopping. How virtuous! She'll definitely be a wonderful wife and mother in the future!"

Qiu Yun'er praised sincerely, but Ling Feng didn't know how to respond.

"Are you here to buy groceries too? You're carrying quite a lot."

Ling Feng looked calmly at the two large bags full of ingredients in Qiu Yun'er's hands and said...

"Forehead..."

Qiu Yun'er wondered if Ling Feng had done it on purpose; why was he at the market not buying vegetables, but actually stealing them?

However, she didn't take it to heart and turned to smile at Ling Feng.

"Ling Feng, can you cook? Can I come over for lunch and have some of your cooking? Also, we can go for a walk together this afternoon, and then have a candlelight dinner and some drinks together in the evening."

Towards the end of her sentence, Qiu Yun'er even blushed and became a little shy.

This is clearly a loaded statement!

She used to be too shy to talk to boys so freely and boldly, but her aunt had mentioned it to her during the New Year's Eve dinner.

Be bold when pursuing boys! There's nothing shameful about girls pursuing boys, and girls are often much more successful at it than boys are at it!

There's an old saying that goes, "For a man to pursue a woman is like climbing a mountain, but for a woman to pursue a man is like piercing a thin veil!"

Moreover, Qiu Yun'er herself is quite good; she has an excellent figure and looks. Generally speaking, the chances of her confessing her feelings to him being successful are extremely high!

However, in the end, she didn't press the matter further.

Is it simply a matter of timing?

Or are you worried about being rejected?

Perhaps only she knows the truth of all this.

Ling Feng naturally understood the hidden meaning in Qiu Yun'er's words, but he "only" assumed that Qiu Yun'er was joking.

After all, they had helped him so much, so it wasn't a big deal to go home together and cook a meal. It wasn't the first time he had gone there anyway, so Ling Feng didn't mind and nodded in agreement.

"Um... Ling Feng, do you still have any tea eggs at home?"

Qiu Yun'er was very happy and asked a question hesitantly.

"There are a few left over from what I cooked this morning. If you want them, I'll get them for you when we get back."

Hearing Qiu Yun'er's words, Ling Feng pondered for a moment and then replied.

Qiu Yun'er, on the other hand, seemed very excited. Ling Feng naturally had no idea what she was excited about. Now that he thought about it, it seemed that all the girls around him were happy.

It's very confusing.

As it turned out, Ling Feng really did bring Qiu Yun'er home with him. Anyway, no one was home right now, Ling Feng thought.

Wait, there's also Ling Luoluo. Oh well, that little girl won't do anything.

"Brother Ling Feng, who is this pretty lady?"

Ling Luoluo was watching anime when she saw Ling Feng carrying large and small bags of groceries back. Her attention was immediately drawn to Qiu Yun'er walking behind him.

"She's my classmate from school, and she ate lunch with us!"

Ling Feng didn't even glance at Ling Luoluo, and walked straight into the kitchen with the groceries in his arms.

Is your sister your brother's classmate? Is there any other relationship between them?

Ling Luoluo seemed to have thought of something and asked a question out of curiosity.

Qiu Yun'er was in a dilemma. She had actually seen Ling Luoluo when she entered the room, but she didn't know who she was. It wasn't until now that she figured it out.

I never imagined Ling Feng had so many younger sisters...

"Sister? Did you hear that?" Ling Luoluo asked again when Qiu Yun'er didn't respond.

"Hmm? We're classmates for now!"

After realizing what she had said, Qiu Yun'er blurted it out without even thinking.

"Temporary?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Luoluo immediately pouted, and small dimples appeared on her face.

"Sister can't take brother away from me, brother belongs to Luo Luo!"

"Ah?"

Qiu Yun'er didn't expect Ling Luoluo to be such a brother-complex. Seeing her adorable, pouty face, she couldn't help but laugh.

The little girl's expression clearly shows she's jealous!

She's incredibly jealous!

And it was spilled!

"Qiu-tong, do you have time to come and help?"

Ling Feng's voice came from the kitchen. Qiu Yun'er immediately snapped out of her daze, greeted Ling Luoluo with a smile, and got up to help, ignoring what she was doing!

At this moment, Ling Feng was washing vegetables, and Qiu Yun'er saw this and also washed the vegetables she had bought, including seafood!

Ling Feng didn't say anything, but then told Qiu Yun'er to go and rest while he cooked!

Qiu Yun'er thought for a moment, then left without saying anything. She had long wanted to eat Ling Feng's cooking, but she just hadn't had the chance.

After Qiu Yun'er left, Ling Feng took out his Astral Mark Necklace.

If Ling Feng remembered correctly, his cooking skills were already at the maximum level after his transformation, described in the profile as a master-level skill of 99 years.

Ling Feng wasn't afraid of being discovered. After silently reciting the transformation spell, she put on an apron and a chef's hat, and began to cook.
