Chapter 711: Chapter 711: As Long as She Is This Happy, He Will Have No Regrets in This Life
The man lifted his eyes, looking towards the kitchen.
It seemed like he was waiting for her to continue speaking. How about he do this?
Yet he heard the little woman mumbling, "...Master, if you keep going like this, your celestial looks will soon be ruined. Even immortals need to eat to keep their divine aura, you know?"
The man: "..."
The face behind the mask stiffened a bit, but he didn’t speak.
Qin Xin boiled water, watching the clear well water slowly bubbling in the iron pot. Her mood gradually calmed down, and the worries from the Imperial City seemed to have suddenly faded away, her entire body felt rejuvenated and full of strength.
She really made the right decision to come back to the countryside.
Indeed, this body is more suited for the simple life in the countryside, far from the crowds and at a slow pace.
She took a white enamel single-handled pot, filled it with hot water, softened the steamed buns, sprinkled a bit of bamboo salt and chili powder, and took it to the courtyard.
She moved a small bamboo stool, sat across from Master Tuantuan’s window, and began to eat in small, fragrant bites.
The smell of chili powder mixed with bamboo salt drifted into the room with the steam from the hot water.
Master Tuantuan, who was practicing martial arts, glanced over, "Why are you eating in the courtyard?"
The weather is so cold.
It had just snowed last night.
This silly child was just sitting in the snow eating steamed buns.
He really wanted to... press her onto the chopping board and give her a good lesson.
Qin Xin ate happily, "Because looking at Master’s celestial face, even eating chili steamed buns feels like eating Xinghua Building’s cheesecake and Xiao Long Kan’s spicy hot pot... After all, I don’t know when Master’s celestial looks might fade, so I better enjoy my meal while I can."
The man’s mask twitched: "..."
You’ve never even seen my face, yet you already think it’s celestial?
He couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Qin Xin.
Since she returned, including the time during New Year’s, he felt that this little girl seemed to be becoming... much more cheerful in personality.
Has she grown up?
If her life could always be this happy, then he... would have no regrets.
The man watched with satisfaction as Qin Xin finished soaking and eating the entire steamed bun.
It gets dark early in the countryside.
It was completely dark before five o’clock.
Having had some experience during the brief stay over New Year’s, Qin Xin skillfully found the bedding in the side room, made her bed all by herself, then went to the courtyard, chopped some wood, and heated up the brick bed.
Throughout the process, there was no movement from the man in the main room.
Qin Xin pouted, "Master Tuantuan is really not interested in worldly affairs—not eating, not going out, only practicing... The main point is, he really doesn’t cherish the fair sex at all. I’ve been busy all afternoon, and here this elder just sits idle, not even offering to chop some wood for me. Can’t he see I’m a weak girl with little strength? Humph, so un-gentlemanly!"
Saying that, she swung the axe lightly in frustration.
Immediately, the firewood split into five, six, seven, eight pieces.
Uh, sorry, I didn’t control my strength well this time, it should have split into two pieces more precisely →_→.
The man in the main room glanced up, speechless.
The sky had completely darkened.
Qin Xin patted her growling stomach again and headed into the kitchen.
Although life in the countryside is good, having to fend for herself for every meal is truly tough.
Handling a scalpel is easy for her.
But wielding a kitchen knife... it’s really, really, really hard to control.
Qin Xin wandered around the kitchen, not sure what to make to eat.
She thought about making porridge with rice, but didn’t know how to cook it.
Although rice with water makes porridge, how much water should be added?
