After returning to Yaoguang Mountain, Chu Xiaoxiao and Yun Changan came to Master Xiyao's residence.

When they arrived at the front hall, Chu Xiaoxiao called out to her master several times, but seeing that there was no response, the two of them waited in the front hall for her master to come back.

"Master should be busy in the Spiritual Garden."

After a while, Xiyao came to the front hall with a storage bag. Seeing Master Xiyao coming back, the two of them stood aside respectfully.

"What are you two doing here?"

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Xiyao asked.

"Master, I have accepted a mission and need to go down the mountain with my junior brother."

"It's just a small matter, why are you bothering me?"

"Tell Master, I'm afraid you won't be able to find me when you need me. By the way, what is Master holding in his hand?"

Chu Xiaoxiao explained to Master Xiyao.

"You're talking about this. This little beast was running around in my spiritual garden and trampled all my spiritual herbs, so I killed him and brought him back to have a snack."

Upon hearing that Master Xiyao wanted to have a feast, Senior Sister Chu looked at Master Xiyao with a wry smile on her face.

Seeing Chu Xiaoxiao's expression, Xiyao said to her angrily, "Why, do you think nothing of my cooking skills?"

Chu Xiaoxiao could only smile helplessly and said, "How dare I? Master's cooking skills are unparalleled in the world. However, my junior brother and I have to go on a mission, so we can't eat Master's delicious food. It's really a pity."

After saying that, he wanted to pull Yun Chang'an away from this dangerous place.

"Wait, why are you in such a hurry to leave? It's better to finish this meal with Master, then it won't be too late to leave."

"No, no, this mission is a long journey, so we'd better hurry on our way. I won't eat."

"Sit down, stay here, and finish your meal before leaving."

"this......."

Helplessly, Chu Xiaoxiao and Yun Changan could only obey Xiyao's words and sit aside waiting.

Seeing Xiyao leave and preparing to start cooking, Yun Changan asked in a low voice, "Senior Sister Chu, is the food that Master cooked not delicious? Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Aren't we leaving tomorrow?"

Shhh…

"Junior brother, you have never eaten the food cooked by our master. The food is really unpalatable." Senior Sister Chu leaned over to Yun Chang'an's ear and spoke to him in a very small voice.

"You bastard, you actually dared to complain that my food is bad! Do you want to be skinned?"

Only an angry voice was heard from the back of the hall. A moment later, Master Xiyao walked out from the side door of the hall, holding a kitchen knife in his hand, and rushed towards the two of them.

When Senior Sister Chu saw this scene, she stood up instantly, cold sweat covering her whole body and sweat on her forehead uncontrollably. She stood motionless in front of the chair, waiting for Master Xiyao to get angry.

"No...no..."

Yun Chang'an, who was standing by, also instantly understood that Senior Sister Chu had told him not to speak ill of the Master behind his back. If he wanted to say something, he should find a place where there was no one around, because the Master had very sharp ears.

At that time, Yun Chang'an was still wondering how sharp her ears were. Now he finally realized how terrifying Xiyao was. Even when Senior Sister Chu leaned over to talk in his ear, he couldn't hear clearly.

Just when Master Xiyao was about to attack Senior Sister Chu, Yun Changan took over and said, "Master, Senior Sister didn't mean that. However, I have been cooking since I was a child. If Master wants to eat, I can do it for you."

Master Xiyao looked at him suspiciously, as if to say, you are the only one who is still cooking, but I’m afraid you can’t even tell the difference between salt and sugar.

But he still said, "Okay, I want to see how you do." and gave Yun Changan a chance.

Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them with a worried look on her face, fearing that another kitchen bandit had come into Yaoguang Mountain. "Junior brother, let's not do it."

Yun Changan took the chopping knife from Master Xiyao and said to Senior Sister Chu, "Trust me, I will definitely surprise you with what I cook. You will never be able to live without the food I cook."

Seeing Yun Changan's confident expression, Chu Xiaoxiao still felt a little insecure. What kind of fate did she have? One kitchen bandit was not enough, and another one came. Why did they catch her and torture her alone?

Yun Changan is serious about cooking. No one has ever complained about his cooking. Even all his neighbors in Shanglin City who had eaten his cooking praised his cooking skills and said that if he married a girl, she would be able to enjoy a happy life. Yun Changan himself felt embarrassed by all the praise.

Holding the chopping knife, Yun Chang'an then came to the kitchen behind the hall. On the chopping board was the Yuan Beast that was killed by Master Xiyao. This Yuan Beast looked like a crowned spirit pig, with black mane all over its body, a plump body, short limbs, and a big head.

So, Yun Changan thought about what to do. There were some spiritual herbs on the chopping board. These spiritual herbs could replace vegetables. They were much better than ordinary vegetables, nourishing the body and even better than taking pills.

Without any hesitation, he quickly removed the hair of the Yuan beast and cut it into pieces. Then he started cooking.

There were two people in front of the hall, one sitting on a bamboo chair and the other standing beside pouring tea.

Master Xiyao took Chu Xiaoxiao's mission scroll and said, "You are going back to the Chu Zhao Dynasty this time. Remember not to interfere in the affairs of the mortal world."

Chu Xiaoxiao nodded and continued to add water to Master Xiyao. "Disciple understands that as a sect disciple, I cannot interfere in worldly affairs. This is a rule that the sect established a long time ago. Don't dare to forget it."

"It's good to know, but I also know a general idea of ​​everything you do. Since you are my disciple, you should abide by the rules set by the sect and cannot cross them."

Xiyao instructed Chu Xiaoxiao again, and after getting Chu Xiaoxiao's affirmative answer, she didn't say anything else, but just closed her eyes and began to rest.

After a long time, Master Xiyao and Chu Xiaoxiao's stomachs started to growl, and since Yun Changan hadn't finished cooking yet, they became a little impatient and asked Chu Xiaoxiao to go and see how it looked.

Following her master's orders, Chu Xiaoxiao headed for the kitchen behind the hall. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Yun Changan coming out carrying two dishes.

"Senior Sister Chu, please help me bring the dishes out from the kitchen."

Senior Sister Chu agreed and started to get busy.

In a short while, more than a dozen dishes were placed on the table in the hall, each of them was delicious and tasty.

Chu Xiaoxiao drooled at the smell of Yun Changan's cooking. "It smells so good, and it looks good."

The two of them waited for Master Xiyao to pick up the chopsticks. When Master Xiyao picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, their eyes lit up instantly. They then quickly picked up other pieces of meat and started eating.

Seeing that his master was eating with relish, Chu Xiaoxiao no longer hesitated and hurriedly tasted the meat and filled her mouth.

“It’s really delicious!”

After a short while, the food on the table was gone and the three of them were full.

So, Yun Chang'an and his master sought something.

"What do you want from me?"

Yun Changan took out the small gourd and wanted to temporarily leave it with Xiyao. "This is my pet. I hope that Master can take care of it while I am not here."

Xiyao looked at the small black dog in front of her and asked, "Is this your puppy?"

Yun Chang'an explained awkwardly that it was a little lion, but it looked like a dog. Looking at the small gourd, he sighed in his heart, it seemed that he was not the only one who thought it was a dog.
