1215 A Scary Identity
Xue Fanxin smiled and did not explain to her companions for the time being. Instead, she said to the bowing spirit chef, “I’m not your true consort yet, so there’s no need to bow. Get up.”
Xue Fanxin only smiled at this. On the surface, she did not have any reaction, but she was actually very happy in her heart. “May I know your name?”
“My surname is Tao, and my name is Ren.”
“If you don’t mind, I’ll call you Uncle Tao.”
“I don’t mind, I don’t mind. As long as the Consort doesn’t mind.”
When Xue Fanxin saw Tao Ren’s fearful expression, she tried her best to be polite, in case he became even more nervous and afraid. “Uncle Tao, it’s like this. These are my friends. Even if I’m not here, please allow them to eat on the second floor. You don’t have to personally cook. Just get your disciples to make them some good dishes.”
“That’s no problem. In the future, when they come to eat, if I’m not around, I’ll get others to cook for them. Although those people’s culinary skills are inferior to mine, they won’t be too bad. They’re much more powerful than the spirit chefs outside, so the dishes they make won’t be bad.” Tao Ren was quite confident in his disciples, especially those who had inherited his teachings.
“Then thank you, Uncle Tao and everyone. I’ll sit for a while more and go back. You don’t have to wait anymore. Go and rest.”
“Yes, I’ll take my leave.”
Although Xue Fanxin was already very polite, Tao Ren did not dare to break any rules. From the beginning to the end, his attitude towards Xue Fanxin was respectful.
The Nether King had repeatedly instructed him to treat the consort like he did, so he did not dare to be disrespectful. If he did something wrong and the Nether King was angry, he would be in trouble.
After Tao Ren left, only the students from the Yellow Class were left in the huge private room. Everyone stared at Xue Fanxin, their faces filled with question marks and shock. No one asked for a long time.
Shui Moning had been with Xue Fanxin for a while and more or less knew her. Therefore, no matter how timid she was, she dared to be the first to ask, “Fanxin, are you the Nine Nether Consort or not?”
If that was the case, then this identity was terrifying.
“Whether I am or not, I’m still me, so there’s no need for you to make a fuss, nor do you have to be nervous or afraid. I treat you as friends. As long as you treat me as a friend, then we’re equal friends. I wonder if you’re willing to treat me as a friend?” Xue Fanxin did not directly admit that she was the Nine Nether Consort, but her words revealed a little meaning.
With this, everyone was already certain of Xue Fanxin’s identity as the Nine Nether Consort. All of them were so frightened that they gasped.
Did the Nine Nether Consort have to be so terrifying?
“Fanxin, I… I’m willing to treat you as a friend, as long as you don’t disdain me.” Shui Moning first tugged at the corner of Xue Fanxin’s sleeve. Seeing that Xue Fanxin did not resist, she mustered up the courage to hold her arm.
She did not have many friends, or it could even be said that she did not have any friends. After coming to the Five Elements Academy and getting to know Xue Fanxin, she felt the beauty of friendship, so she really did not want to lose her only friend.
However, the status of the Nine Nether Consort was really… too high. It was like a sparrow wanting to be friends with a phoenix.
Was that possible?
