Such a Great Body-He Definitely Had Abs

Ling Xian's soft, sweet voice drifted over, and Su Ying immediately went on maximum alert. "Seriously? She still hasn't given up?"

Chu Yu blinked, confusion on his face. "Senior sister?"

"Junior brother, danger. Hide inside." Su Ying shoved Chu Yu into the little side room she had just tidied and shut the door.

The system teased her:

[Host, even you have moments of insecurity?]

[Obviously. Ling Xian has a gu curse on her. If you let me cheat and gave me the exact same gu curse, I'd be brimming with confidence too,] Su Ying grumbled.

She was afraid that even a couple of extra glances at Ling Xian would be enough to bewitch Chu Yu, leaving no room for her in his heart.

"Senior Sister Su Ying." Hearing no reply, Ling Xian walked in of her own accord.

Seeing her approach, Su Ying immediately raised a hand. "Stop!"

"Senior sister?" Ling Xian instantly put on an aggrieved expression. "Are you still angry?"

"No." Su Ying silently seethed. [I honed so many moves in the modern world for putting fake innocents and two-faced little schemers in their place, and I can't use a single one here. This is suffocating!]

Chu Yu sat on a chair. With no one watching, the shy innocence had vanished from his face. Though he still looked like a fresh-faced youth, his bearing was completely different.

The ruler of the Demon Realm narrowed his eyes as he listened to Su Ying's words.

Lately, fresh expressions kept tumbling out of this woman's mouth.

Though the great demon king did not understand them, he could roughly tell that they were nothing complimentary.

At that thought, the great demon king grew even more curious. Where exactly had this woman come from? How did she know all these bizarre expressions?

They were rather entertaining to listen to-

Lost in thought, the great demon king heard Ling Xian asking after him outside. "Senior sister, where's Junior Brother Chu Yu?"

[Damn it, she really did come for Chu Yu! Heavens, you bestowed this young hunk on me, and I haven't even had a taste yet. Are you going to let the heroine's halo sweep him away? Nooo...] Su Ying howled inwardly, while remaining calm on the surface. "I'm not sure. What did you need him for? I'll pass the message along later."

Ling Xian bit her lower lip and glanced at the side room.

Her spells were not as powerful as Su Ying's, but after spending so long at Xiao Muchen's side, she possessed at least that much ability to sense things.

She could clearly sense Chu Yu in that room.

"I thought that since junior brother came from the Lower Realm, he surely hasn't learned the grain avoidance technique yet, so I brought him some food. Since he isn't here, sorry for the trouble, Senior Sister Su Ying, but please give it to him." Ling Xian had no choice but to say this and hand her the basket.

Su Ying took it, eyed the food inside with disdain, then glanced at Ping Qingyun outside. [Oh, she even needs eldest senior brother standing guard when she delivers food? Is she that afraid I'll bully her?]

[Host, you do indeed enjoy bullying the heroine.]

[Oh, give me a break. Would I bully anyone if it weren't for those lousy plotlines? She's such a low-level opponent that I wouldn't even bother.] Su Ying could not help rolling her eyes.

"Senior sister?" Ling Xian caught her rolling her eyes and startled theatrically. "Is something wrong with your eyes?"

Su Ying immediately regained her composure and replied coolly, "No. You've certainly been thoughtful, junior sister. None of the disciples Master took in today have learned the grain avoidance technique yet. Sorry for the trouble, but please bring each of them some food. They're heading into the Unbounded Forest tomorrow, so we can't let them go hungry."

Ling Xian froze and pressed her lips together.

"Junior sister, why that expression? Don't tell me you haven't prepared any?" Su Ying asked.

Ling Xian shook her head and forced a smile. "No, that's not it. I'll take food to the other disciples right away."

Only after Ling Xian left did Su Ying breathe a sigh of relief. [She's finally gone. Luckily, my young hunk didn't fall into that woman's trap.]

[Host, this is far too shameless. You can protect young Daoist Chu Yu for a while, but can you protect him for a lifetime?]

[Why would I protect him for a lifetime?] Su Ying checked the food. Hmm, no poison.

The system twitched.

[So you intend to sleep with him and take no responsibility?]

[The thing is, even if I wanted to take responsibility, I couldn't. I won't survive many more episodes, right? When a man and a woman enjoy each other, being happy is what matters. My young hunk Chu Yu has such a great body. He definitely has abs. No matter what, I'm getting a feel tonight.] Having secretly made her plans, Su Ying pushed open the side room's door. "Junior brother, your Senior Sister Ling Xian brought this for you. I checked it. There's no poison. Want some?"

Chu Yu looked disgusted. After learning that this damned woman wanted to sleep with him without taking responsibility, murderous intent rose in his heart again.

With his mood seesawing like this, he no longer even felt like feigning innocence.

"What's wrong? Not feeling well? Having trouble adjusting to the climate?" Su Ying touched Chu Yu's forehead. He seemed fine.

[System, system, check him for me,] she said.

[Host, there's nothing wrong with him...]

The system was speechless.

Learning that Chu Yu was not unwell, Su Ying relaxed a little. "Junior brother, what's wrong?"

"Senior sister, does this taste good?" Chu Yu asked.

"If you want my honest opinion, definitely not. Would you like something I cook?" Su Ying set Ling Xian's food aside.

Rumor had it that Ling Xian was the best cook in the entire Cultivation Sect.

That was only because Su Ying had not shown off her skills.

She had grown up without parents and relied on herself for everything. Long ago, while working part-time in kitchens, she had secretly picked up the chefs' techniques and become an excellent cook.

"Then I want something you cook, senior sister." Chu Yu tugged at her sleeve.

[Aaaah, my heart is melting!] Su Ying simply could not withstand her young hunk acting so adorable!

She immediately rolled up her sleeves, ready to retrieve ingredients from her Spatial Ring. "What would you like?"

"I'll love anything you make, senior sister," Chu Yu said. If he did not eat a few bites of something delicious now, he truly feared he would be unable to stop himself from ripping out her spiritual root right then.

[A young hunk with such a sweet tongue-I'm going to pamper him properly!] Su Ying vowed, then set up a grill in the courtyard.

She was going to make grilled meat for her young hunk!

With the help of magic, a chicken and a duck were soon skewered on two forked branches, sizzling with fat as their fragrance spread everywhere.

Su Ying brushed on the seasonings one by one. Once the chicken and duck were crisp outside and tender inside, she asked with a bright smile, "Junior brother, which would you like?"

Chu Yu swallowed. Tempted by the food, his earlier displeasure vanished like smoke into thin air. "Can I try both?"

"Of course." Overflowing with maternal affection, Su Ying tore off a chicken leg and a duck leg, put them in a bowl, and handed it over.

Watching, the system could not help letting out a muffled howl.

He wanted some too! What was going on?

Su Ying tore off a chicken wing, ready to reward herself for her hard work, but the courtyard gate was pushed open.

Xiao Muchen walked in, exuding a cool elegance untouched by worldly dust.

At that moment, Su Ying's mouth was already open, ready to eat. Seeing the newcomer, she momentarily did not know whether to close it or bite down.

Xiao Muchen had been drawn over by the fragrance.

At the sight before him, he finally failed to maintain the composure on his celestial face. His eyes moved between the dishes. "What are you two doing?"
