The cook answered at once.
"Senior Ning rarely eats."
"Miss Dugu prefers lighter dishes."
"The master has no dietary restrictions. He just dislikes sweets."
Liu Erlong opened the cupboard.
Inside were freshly delivered vegetables, fresh meat, and several river fish.
"Leave lunch to me today."
The cook looked at her.

Liu Erlong took out a river fish and placed it on the chopping board.
"Back at Blue Tyrant Academy, I often cooked for myself."
She picked up the kitchen knife.

"It definitely won't happen next time."
Liu Erlong nodded lightly.
"I can teach you."
Dugu Yan walked over
