Transmigrated into a book? A vicious female supporting character? A senior sister? Tsk tsk!
Chapter 44 That's etched into my bones
"What the senior brother said is right. Although we are not human, we still have human thoughts. You must know that human nature is inherently greedy. No matter how good the relationship is, we cannot be completely unguarded."
Ji Zeyang wasn't as serious as the other two; instead, he revealed a creepy uncle expression and grinned maliciously:
"Hehehe, little girl, if you're this careless again next time, your third senior brother will have to tie you up and take you back to my mermaid clan."
Then they'd lock you in a bubble-water prison, whipping you daily with a small leather whip to force you to produce something good.
Tang Xinyan's lips twitched involuntarily; she had a feeling that her third senior brother was suffering from some serious illness...
Gu Moxu rolled his eyes and said disdainfully:
"You? You think you can kidnap Junior Sister? Let alone whether you can get past me, even Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother won't let you succeed, not to mention Master."
Ji Zeyang, however, looked at him like he was an idiot.
"Hey Erhei, are you really that stupid? Can't you see? I was just giving my junior sister an example. If you don't understand, don't spout nonsense!"
Gu Moxu looked at Yun Xingnan: "Senior Brother, my hands are itching."
Yun Xingnan: "Endure it."
Gu Moxu felt wronged, thinking to himself that it was clearly the silly fish who was in the wrong, but then he heard Yun Xingnan add:
"We'll go to the training ground to play tomorrow."
Gu Moxu instantly perked up, while Ji Zeyang rolled his eyes in disdain.
"You're laughing like an idiot. Do you really think you can definitely win?"
Gu Moxu snorted coldly:
"Whether we win or not, we'll find out after a fight tomorrow."
Seeing that the two of them were still going on and on, Lu Chuan'an said helplessly:
"You two, stop interrupting. Junior Sister, did you remember what we just said?"
Tang Xinyan nodded obediently. Seeing that Lu Chuan'an and the others were unusually serious, she secretly spoke with Tuanzi while Ji Zeyang and the other two were bickering.
But Tuanzi gave her a clear answer, saying that these fruits were all very ordinary, since Tang Xinyan had specifically told her to pick the more common ones when she asked her to.
This made Tang Xinyan feel a little strange, but she didn't press the matter. She knew that her senior brothers were sincere towards her, and that was enough.
Actually, this misunderstanding was caused by information discrepancy. Tuanzi has been asleep for so many years and has no understanding of the outside world.
Those spiritual fruits that were once readily available to anyone with even a little wealth are now scarce due to the gradual decline in the concentration of spiritual energy in the plane.
Many of these fruits have actually become extinct, and even if you have money, you might not be able to eat them, like the golden dragon fruit.
In the past, in the Dragon Realm, although its growing area was somewhat limited, it was not a rare item, just like milk fruit. But now, however, it is extremely difficult to find even one.
As for Tang Xinyan, although she had read many introductions to spiritual fruits and medicines and was familiar with the rare items in the original book, she was unfamiliar with the things in the Fate Realm.
It was much more complicated than when Liu Yinyin made her contract, and coupled with the trust in Tuanzi, this blunder happened.
The five chatted until very late. Of course, they didn't eat the fruit in the end; the other four took it with them. What Tang Xinyan didn't know was that...
After the four returned to their respective courtyards, they all received a message from Xiao Yimo, even though Xiao Yimo did not participate in their small gathering.
But he had "seen" everything that happened in the courtyard, and his purpose in sending the message was to ask his four disciples to keep the youngest disciple's special abilities a secret.
I also hope that they can take better care of their young apprentice in the future, and teach her about the dangers of the world when they have free time.
If Tang Xinyan knew, she would definitely say:
[Actually, Master, you're overthinking it. This special treatment is only for a select few like you. If it were an outsider, I'd be very stingy; I'd be lucky if I didn't extort them, hehe.]
********
The next day, Tang Xinyan was still practicing her swordsmanship within the Fate Realm when she sensed movement outside. She quickly went out to investigate, and Lu Chuan'an greeted her with a smile when he saw her come out:
"Junior Sister, Master said you rushed back because you wanted to watch the sect's grand competition. Today is the top 50 round. Do you want to go watch?"
Tang Xinyan knew that Lu Chuan'an had come specifically to accompany her, so she quickly said:
"Second Senior Brother, I did plan to go and take a look today, but Second Senior Brother, the sect is very safe. You don't need to make a special effort to come with me."
Lu Chuan'an smiled slyly, shrugged, and seemed quite troubled:
"But there's no other way. It was Master who told me to go with you, and I, your second senior brother, can't disobey his orders."
Tang Xinyan was amused:
"Alright, how about we have breakfast together, Second Brother, before we go?"
Lu Chuan'an nodded:
"Sure, I smelled the delicious aroma as soon as I entered the courtyard. I was just about to ask my junior sister what she had made."
As they spoke, the two went into the small kitchen together and brought the steamed soup dumplings and the cooked spirit rice porridge from the stove to the small round table in the courtyard.
Seeing Lu Chuan'an pick up a soup dumpling and prepare to take a bite, Tang Xinyan quickly stopped him:
"Second Brother, wait a minute! These soup dumplings have soup in the filling. If you bite into them directly like that, you'll not only spill it, but you'll also burn your mouth."
You have to bite a small opening, blow on it slightly, drink the soup inside first, and then eat it in one bite, or pour the soup into a plate, drink it, and then eat it.
Lu Chuan'an raised an eyebrow, finding it interesting. After replying with "okay," he followed Tang Xinyan's instructions, biting open a small opening.
A puff of hot air came out of the small mouth. He was a fire elementalist, so he wasn't afraid of getting burned, but he still blew on it as Tang Xinyan had taught him.
Then drink the soup. As soon as the soup enters your mouth, the fresh and fragrant taste fills your mouth. The soup also has a faint spiritual quality. It is very comfortable to drink a mouthful of soup.
Lu Chuan'an ate the bun again. The meat filling was very delicious, and he seemed to have never eaten this kind of meat before, so he was a little curious.
"Junior sister, what kind of meat is used for the filling of these soup dumplings?"
"It's the meat of a rhinoceros."
Lu Chuan'an was somewhat surprised. He had just eaten the meat of the rhinoceros-horned beast before. It wasn't exactly bad, but it had a fishy, gamey taste.
The filling in this bun is completely different from the filling inside. Seeing Lu Chuan'an's surprise, Tang Xinyan smiled and explained:
"Second Brother, if the meat of the rhinoceros beast is not handled properly, it can indeed have a fishy smell. We need to remove the tendons from the meat and marinate it with some seasonings to remove the fishy smell."
As for how Tang Xinyan knew this, one can only say that, as a person from the Xia Kingdom with a thousand-year-old culinary culture, knowing how to eat and loving to eat are innate skills etched into her bones, hehe.
Ever since she tasted the Jumping Beast and the Cuckoo Beast and found that they tasted similar to rabbits and chickens, Tang Xinyan embarked on a never-ending journey to find substitutes.
She had initially lamented not finding a beast with a similar name or appearance to a pig, but unexpectedly, she found the rhinoceros-like beast intended for beef.
