"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Yunmeng's face turn ashen, as if she'd swallowed a fly, Yu Xianxian was utterly bewildered.

Could it be that Senior Sister Yun's injuries were too severe? She looks so pale.

"Ahem, it's okay."

Yunmeng smelled the faint smell of burning in the air and coughed twice to ease the atmosphere.

"Xianxian, did you make all of these yourself?"

"That's right, senior sister, this is my first time cooking."

Yunmeng: ...I can see that.

"But it just fell on the ground, won't it get dirty?"

"Oh, it's alright, senior sister. You don't need to eat the skin of the roasted sweet potato, just peel it off."

As she spoke, Yu Xianxian placed one of the sweet potatoes on the table and began peeling the other.

only……

"Strange, I've already peeled off a layer, but it's still black. How come the skin is so thick?"

Yunmeng: ...She felt that it wasn't a problem with the sweet potatoes.

Yu Xianxian peeled off a few more layers, but half of the sweet potato was gone and she still couldn't see the yellow part.

Yu Xianxian: ……

If I'm not mistaken, either the sweet potatoes in this world have too many layers of skin, or she roasted the whole sweet potato until it was black.

But Yu Xianxian was still unwilling to give up. She picked up another sweet potato and started peeling it, but the result was still unsatisfactory.

"Ahem, ah, it seems I accidentally took the wrong one. This must be some kind of special food. I must have left the sweet potato in the kitchen."

Yu Xianxian lowered her head, wishing she could disappear into the ground the next second, but unexpectedly Yunmeng patted her head.

"How did you start the fire?"

"Ah, well, I borrowed a few stones from the stage."

Since she had no lighter or matches, Yu Xianxian had to resort to the most primitive method: rubbing stones together to start a fire, just like she did on TV.

"Everything in the kitchen was arranged by me. There are no ordinary stones on the table; those are fire spirit stones. My natal fire is too intense to cook for you, so I put them there to start a fire."

No wonder those two stones sparked when they touched. Yu Xianxian thought she had a talent for starting fires, but it turned out she just had the right tools.

"But that's a high-grade fire spirit stone, containing powerful spiritual energy. It's normal that you can't control it well without cultivation."

What Yunmeng didn't say was that such spiritual power was too strong for mortals without cultivation, and could easily cause injury. However, she had just observed Yu Xianxian's body and found no injuries.

"is it?"

Although she knew that Yunmeng was probably just trying to comfort her, Yu Xianxian regained her confidence in her cooking skills.

"In that case, I'll borrow a low-grade spirit stone from the peak master tomorrow."

"Ahem, no need for that. These grains are of no use to me."

Yunmeng admitted that she was scared, because her seven years of cooking experience told her that this was not a problem with the spirit stones.

"Okay, it's a pity I don't know how to make medicine, otherwise I could have brought some pills for my senior sister."

"Hehe, there's no need for that. Don't forget that I am an alchemist, and my master also gives me pills to regulate my body."

"Ah, that's great. It seems that the only useless thing about this peak is me."

Well, there were only the three of them on this peak.

Yu Xianxian braced herself against the edge of the bed, looking utterly dejected. Just then, Yun Meng laughed.

"hehe."

"Senior sister, is it funny?"

Yu Xianxian didn't need to look to know that her eyes were full of resentment. Her senior sister had changed and had started mocking her. Waaah!

"No, I meant to comfort you, but then I remembered how I was chased by the man-eating plants when I went to see you taking care of the flowerbeds."

Yu Xianxian covered her face. Oh no, her senior sister not only started mocking her, but also started digging up her embarrassing past.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not mocking you."

Yu Xianxian: I'm sorry, there's already a misunderstanding.

What I want to say is, Xianxian, you are really cute.

Yu Xianxian, who's almost thirty and still gets called cute: ...

Why can't she be happy at all?

"Your behavior always exceeds my expectations. Although it's strange at times, I don't know why I always feel happy when I'm with you. Xianxian, you're really interesting."

Yu Xianxian: ……

Are you sure you're not saying I'm the Joker?

At this moment, Yu Xianxian rested her head on the edge of the bed, her tone full of accusation.

"The clown? What's that?"

"Uh, well... well, they're a kind of stupid and unlucky creature."

Yunmeng: ...

What has this child been through to be so self-deprecating?

"Although I'm not entirely sure what that is, I know you, Xianxian, don't have it because you're very smart. As for luck, it can be a bit bad sometimes, but that's unpredictable, and everyone is like that."

"really?"

Looking at Yunmeng, who always seemed to have good luck, Yu Xianxian was filled with doubt about these words.

"Yes, that's right."

"Okay, I believe you, senior sister."

"When has your senior sister ever lied to you? By the way, why do you keep putting your hand behind my back? Is there something on my back?"

Yu Xianxian, caught red-handed: ...

"Ah, it's nothing. I was just wondering if you had any back injuries that weren't noticed?"

"Don't worry, Master has checked it for me."

Yunmeng smiled, perhaps to reassure Yu Xianxian, and turned around to take off her clothes, revealing her fair back to Yu Xianxian.

Seeing no trace of it, Yu Xianxian felt slightly relieved. It seemed that the palm strike was just an illusion caused by her inner demons. Since it wasn't a sneak attack, and Yunmeng's inner demons weren't powerful enough to materialize, she was at ease.

and also……

"Senior sister's back is so beautiful, hehehe."

As she spoke, Yu Xianxian quickly touched Yunmeng's back, a lewd act that made Yunmeng's lips twitch.

Of course, it wasn't just that she was speechless at Yu Xianxian's actions; she also thought that Yu Xianxian's hand had just brushed against her wound, causing pain that forced her to make a funny face.

Yu Xianxian, who had her back to her, rubbed her fingers together, and only after confirming that there was no concealed powder did she finally feel completely at ease.

Over the course of seven years, Yu Xianxian had come to know Yunmeng quite well. Some things were less about being competitive and more about being stubborn.

If she had been ambushed, Yunmeng might have spoken up for the safety of the immortal sect. Yu Xianxian, however, feared that she would be harmed by her inner demons, and thus refused to reveal the truth.

Although she doesn't cultivate immortality and has no experience, she is still the author of this book. She definitely knows everything about the world setting and laws. Maybe she can help Yunmeng find a loophole or something, cough cough.

Of course, it's definitely about finding loopholes in a reasonable way.

Yu Xianxian is not someone who would easily break the rules of the world.
