Mu Xue and Mu Xue

"You're welcome, you're welcome. By the way, do you want to have dinner together?" Yun Yuyao stood in the room, unconsciously tugging at the corners of her clothes with her hands. She had been thinking for a long time in the room before, and her heart was like a little rabbit, full of ups and downs. But now she finally plucked up the courage and invited Mu Xue.

There was a subtle hint of nervousness in her voice, and her bright eyes were full of anticipation.

"Okay." Mu Xue raised the corners of her mouth slightly and responded softly.

"That's great!" Yun Yuyao instantly smiled when she got Mu Xue's affirmative answer, and her eyes curved into crescents. She couldn't wait to grab Mu Xue's hand, and almost jumped to pull her back to her room.

"There is no cafeteria here, so you have to cook for yourself. Come to my room and I will cook for you." Yun Yuyao said as she walked into the room and turned back to wink at Mu Xue playfully.

Yun Yuyao's room is no different from Mu Xue's, extremely simple, with a bed, a bedside table, and nothing else.

Yun Yuyao pulled Mu Xue to the bedside, her eyes full of tenderness, "Wait here for a while, it will be ready soon!" After that, she reached out and pressed the small button on the bedside table.

In an instant, something wonderful happened.

The inner wall of the room slowly changed. The originally flat wall seemed to be cast by magic. Stoves, spatulas, bowls and chopsticks and other kitchen utensils appeared one after another and were neatly arranged in a row, as if they had been carefully planned long ago.

At the same time, a table and two chairs slowly rose from the center of the room and landed steadily on the ground.

The vegetables were placed at the opposite corner of the bed. They were all common and simple vegetables, potatoes, carrots, cabbage, all vegetarian dishes, without any meat or fish, not even a trace of eggs.

Water is naturally indispensable for cooking. Next to the pile of vegetables, there stands a large water tank filled with clear water, which glows slightly in the dim light.

Soon, there was a sizzling sound in the room, which was the ingredients jumping and colliding happily in the pot.

Strangely, the fire in the stove was burning brightly, but there was no pungent smoke coming out, only a faint aroma of food began to spread.

Mu Xue sat quietly on the bed, her hands folded on her legs, doing nothing, but her eyes followed Yun Yuyao's figure.

Yun Yuyao was seen moving back and forth in the small space, sometimes running to the stove to stir-fry, sometimes going to the water tank to fetch water. She was very busy, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. A few strands of hair were soaked by sweat and stuck to her cheeks.

Before long, a table full of dishes appeared before our eyes.

Yun Yuyao ran to Mu Xue excitedly, her eyes sparkling. She took her arm, led her to the dining table, and considerately helped her pull the chair in place. "Okay, come and try it. I haven't cooked for a long time. I wonder if my cooking skills have deteriorated." There was a hint of pride and anticipation in her voice.

Mu Xue gently picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of shredded potato, and put it carefully into her mouth.

At that moment, her expression changed slightly and her brows frowned imperceptibly, because she tasted a strange taste. The taste did not belong to potatoes at all, and the spicy feeling spread in her mouth instantly.

"How is it? This is the ginger fried potato shreds I made. Is it delicious?" Yun Yuyao looked at Mu Xue with anticipation, with a gleam in her eyes.

Hearing this, Mu Xue couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. Only then did she realize that the strange-tasting "potato" she had just eaten was actually ginger!

In order to truly taste the shredded potatoes, Mu Xue picked up another one and put it in her mouth again.

The result was, uh, the same taste as last time, ginger again! Mu Xue still refused to believe it, so she picked up several pieces and put them all in her mouth.

This time, she finally didn't taste the flavor of ginger, but a strong flavor of potato. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, she got to eat the potatoes she had been longing for. Mu Xue's usually cold and expressionless face was rippled with satisfaction, like a lake brushed by a spring breeze. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile.

That smile was like the warm sunshine after the snow, instantly dispelling the coldness around her body and making her whole body soften.

All of this was seen by Yun Yuyao who was standing by.

Yun Yuyao interpreted Mu Xue's every reaction with great joy. She felt that one bite was not enough for Mu Xue, and she was still not satisfied after taking another big bite. It was not until she took another big bite that she finally showed a satisfied smile. This was undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of her cooking skills.

There was a gleam of joy in Yun Yuyao's eyes, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously. She was as happy as a child who had been praised.

Seeing that Mu Xue was satisfied, Yun Yuyao also sat down happily.

For a moment, the room was extremely quiet, with only the occasional sound of cutlery colliding. It was a breakfast without any conversation, but it was inexplicably filled with a warm atmosphere.

After breakfast, Yun Yuyao offered to take Mu Xue back to her room.

Along the way, the two walked side by side. Although there was still not much talk, the distance between them seemed to have shortened.

When they arrived at the door of Mu Xue's room, Yun Yuyao smiled and waved, and said softly: "Then you have a good rest, and come to me if you have any problems." Mu Xue nodded slightly, turned and walked into the room.

After Mu Xue returned to the room, she went straight to the bed and started practicing without any hesitation.

She sat cross-legged on the bed, her eyes closed, her breathing even and steady, a faint halo seeming to emanate from her body. She was immersed in the world of cultivation, and time seemed to have stood still around her.

This went on until the evening, when suddenly there was a knock on the door in the quiet room, "Knock, knock, knock." The sound broke the silence again and again, and also pulled Mu Xue out of her deep state of cultivation.

Mu Xue came to the door, opened it, and felt relieved when she found it was Yun Yuyao.

She really didn't want to face those foreigners who spoke incongruous language and made her confused. In comparison, Yun Yuyao's familiarity made her feel at ease.

"Let's go take a medicinal bath together? The medicinal bath here is so comfortable! Do you want to come? Do you want to come? Let's have dinner after the hot spring bath." Yun Yuyao's eyes lit up immediately when she saw Mu Xue. Like a happy little deer, she hugged Mu Xue's arm and started to act coquettishly. Her voice was soft and full of expectation, making it impossible to refuse.

"Yeah." Mu Xue responded softly. In fact, what she was thinking about was not the hot spring, but dinner.

After all, cooking for herself is too difficult for her, and she doesn't want to experience the embarrassment of being hungry or eating "dark food" again.

Yun Yuyao received a satisfactory answer. She happily took Mu Xue's hand and trotted over to the ladder. She reached out and pressed the button for the second level, muttering, "This ladder is so weird! The medicinal bath is clearly on the first level, but you can't just sit down there. I don't know how it was designed." Despite her complaints, an excited smile still graced her face.

Yun Yuyao knew in her heart that this was not her home, so there was nothing she could do even if she felt it was unreasonable.

Soon, the ladder reached the second floor. The two walked out of the ladder and walked along a winding corridor towards the grassland on the first floor.

Along the way, the breeze blew gently, blowing their hair and clothes.

Mu Xue followed Yun Yuyao quietly, fearing that she would lose her by accident.

After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, they finally stopped in front of a house full of steam.

Steam rose from the cracks in the roof, as if covering the house with a mysterious veil.

"Let's go, Jianghu Meng, Jianghe Meng, and Master Ziyuan are all in there! Let's go in quickly!" Yun Yuyao said as she pulled Mu Xue's hand and walked into the house impatiently. A new reunion was about to begin in this misty medicinal bath room.
