After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

Chapter 326 There are plenty of people who like me.

As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Ling picked up his pen again and began to revise it.

She was a little embarrassed: "Well... everyone has different opinions, this is just my humble opinion."

"It's nothing." Chu Ling was not affected by her and changed everything she said.

After he finished making the changes, Xiao Ran whispered, "...Shall we apply the medicine?"

"Hmm." Chu Ling did not refuse, walked to the table and sat down, then pulled open her clothes.

Xiao Ran was suddenly confronted with the sight of a muscular, naked man, and she couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Come and apply the medicine."

Chu Ling's icy voice startled her, and she walked straight over.

The man's body felt very solid, quite different from her own. Without hesitation, she sprinkled the powder onto the wounds, only to discover some old wounds behind him.

She couldn't help but ask, "Does it hurt?"

Chu Ling: "It doesn't hurt."

She knew that no matter how much it hurt, he would say it didn't.

He seems to be very patient.

"Alright." After applying the medicine, she helped him put on his clothes and said, "Only his face is left. Take off your mask."

Chu Ling resisted: "...No need, I can do it myself."

Xiao Ran felt helpless, but she knew that people might have their own reasons for wearing masks, and perhaps they had some unspeakable secrets.

So she didn't insist.

She asked, "Um, did you chase away the delayed caller?"

Chu Ling said calmly, "Yes, he ran away with his subordinates."

"Amazing!" Xiao Ran exclaimed happily, "There's not a single good one among those Western Xia people!" Then, realizing something was amiss, she added, "Except for Huyan..."

"You like him?" Chu Ling raised an eyebrow.

“How could that be!” Xiao Ran retorted, “He was just very kind to me. Even though my father and I were captured and taken to Western Xia, he didn’t make things difficult for us. On the contrary, he treated us like guests…”

Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel conflicted.

"He likes you."

Chu Ling's voice was devoid of emotion, but Xiao Ran sensed a chill in it.

"I have plenty of people who like me, one more won't make a difference."

Xiao Ran was about to make a joke, but Chu Ling gave a firm "hmm".

Without saying a word, Xiao Ran bid farewell, picked up her medicine box, and left.

I almost tripped over the food box again as I was leaving.

Chu Ling returned to his desk and looked at the phoenix crown pattern. His cold expression softened somewhat, and he even smiled.

……

For several days in a row, the head cook in the kitchen felt something was very strange.

First, General Chu Ling, who was usually aloof, actually came to the kitchen to eat in person, and also instructed them not to send food to the tent anymore.

Then came a few people from the Jing Kingdom.

These men acted as if they hadn't eaten, each clamoring that they needed to eat more to strengthen their bodies and lead troops into battle.

Even Miss Yunfu came along.

Fortunately, today is the last day, and he knows that the people from Jing Kingdom will be setting off back to Huyang County today.

"How come the food in this Chu camp is so delicious!" Duan Rong stuffed food into his mouth haphazardly.

Yunfu advised from the side, "Brother Duan, eat slowly, I have another serving here."

"Thank you, Sister Fu," he said with a smile.

Yunfu's cheeks were flushed beneath her veil, but thankfully they were covered.

Xiao Ran shook her head at the two of them, then walked up to the cook.

"Hey cook, do you have a recipe for this food? Why don't you sell us a portion?"

The cook hesitated, "This..."

His ancestors had always run restaurants, so his culinary skills were naturally excellent. However, his family fell on hard times, which forced him to join the army and become a cook.

"Give it to her." Chu Ling walked in from outside the kitchen. "From now on, military pay will be increased by 30%."
