Chapter 818: Chapter 52: Tao Spirit Body Becomes a Little Chef

"Si Minglan, what have you been teaching her?"

"Didn’t I say already? Teaching her how to seduce men."

"She’s still a child!"

"Why? Did you really take the Tao Spirit Body as your concubine?"

In the woods, Qin Gengyun was sternly rebuking Si Minglan for corrupting the mind of an innocent girl, but Si Minglan’s words stopped him short.

"What concubine? That’s just a temporary measure!"

Qin Gengyun explained helplessly.

"Oh really? I heard from Xia Qinglian that you and Luo Xiaohong have already held the ceremony, and the marriage rites are completed. She’s officially considered your concubine then. You’ve ruined the girl’s reputation and want to just discard her? You’re such a scumbag!"

Si Minglan spoke with righteous indignation, leaving Qin Gengyun speechless.

"Si Minglan, my lord is not a scumbag."

Liu Su appeared to appeal on Qin Gengyun’s behalf:

"He just wants to give every woman a beautiful home."

Qin Gengyun: "..."

"Giggling, Susu, you really understand your lord." Si Minglan laughed while sizing up Liu Su’s chest:

"What a shame, your sister-in-law is too small. Otherwise, your lord would give you a home too."

"What the heck, Fox Spirit, what are you talking about?!"

"Little Susu, don’t be hasty. Actually, being small has its advantages; when washing clothes, it can be used as a washboard."

"Si Minglan, I’m going to fight you!"

The two women started to bicker, causing Qin Gengyun a headache. As he walked out of the woods, he saw Xia Qinglian teaching Luo Xiaohong how to cook in the distance.

During the day, Xia Qinglian had caught a litter of Black Moon Pig piglets, perfect for making roast suckling pig.

At this moment, a bonfire was burning in front of them, and several piglets were skewered on the Heaven-Reaching Staff, positioned above the flames.

Using a top-tier magical artifact like the Heaven-Reaching Staff for roasting was quite fitting when employed by the Primordial Spirit Body and Tao Spirit Body.

This time, Luo Xiaohong was learning earnestly.

To demonstrate her love for cooking, she also transformed into an outfit worn by the chefs from the Immortal Brew Tower.

Her head was adorned with a white cap, and her body clad in white chef’s attire, the Five-Colored Skirt turned into a festive vermilion red.

This was the standard garb of female chefs from the Immortal Brew Tower, which Luo Xiaohong had seen before and chose to emulate.

Not long ago, she inquired of Qin Gengyun if she looked nice and what this attire should be called.

Qin Gengyun answered, "Cook."

Now, in the cook attire, Little Chef Luo Xiaohong was holding the Heaven-Reaching Staff, gently rotating the suckling pigs on it as per Xia Qinglian’s instructions, her eyes sparkling.

During the morning dance lesson and afternoon seduction lessons, Luo Xiaohong was interested but her eyes never gleamed like this.

Qin Gengyun paused, perhaps the Tao Spirit Body’s greatest love was cooking? 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

Approaching her, the busy Little Chef Luo Xiaohong couldn’t spare a greeting for Qin Gengyun, her husband, as she focused on turning the Heaven-Reaching Staff with her eyes glued to the suckling pigs.

"Every side needs to be grilled evenly until golden brown. This way, the meat becomes crispy and fragrant. If one side is overcooked, it’ll become burnt, affecting the overall taste."

Xia Qinglian instructed seriously, and Luo Xiaohong learned even more diligently, biting her lips.

Xia Qinglian was tall, strikingly cool and elegant as she sat primly to the side.

Luo Xiaohong was delicate and charming, youthful and cute, attentively listening to the teachings.

The two appeared like...

"A mother and daughter."

Mo Xiaolan softly whispered behind Qin Gengyun:

"Indeed, they look just like mother and daughter."

Qin Gengyun chuckled, "My wife is only twenty-seven or twenty-eight, where’d she get such a big daughter?"

Mo Xiaolan also laughed lightly, "Your move was brilliant."

She referred to how Qin Gengyun had everyone teach Luo Xiaohong, subtly influencing her and thus pulling her away from the Immortal Flying Pavilion’s plans.

Clearly, the Tao Spirit Body’s nature lacks good and evil.

It all depends on how others paint her; she can be any color she is painted.

As they strolled into the distance, Qin Gengyun smiled:

"In many ways, Xiaohong is still like a child. It’s just that her power is too strong, and being overly innocent is potentially not a good thing because she does not realize the possible impacts her reckless actions can impose on the world."

Mo Xiaolan nodded: "The Immortal Flying Pavilion placed a seed in her Tao Heart for guarding worldly balance. For that balance, she would destroy all living things, yet she doesn’t truly grasp what living things mean."

"Exactly. Our goal is to affect her internal ties, help her understand that each living being has its own story and emotions she could connect with, not just tools for worldly balance."

Qin Gengyun smiled and said, "Xiaolan, you and my wife understand me best."

Mo Xiaolan paused, suddenly stating, "I am going to train."

With that, she quickly moved away to sit, closed her eyes, and began to train.

Qin Gengyun watched her reflectively for a moment, then finally withdrew his gaze.

"Husband, it’s done!"

Returning to the bonfire, a crisp voice chimed, revealing the adorable little chef holding a plate of roast suckling pig, standing before him, eagerly watching his reaction.

Qin Gengyun was surprised, "You’re letting me eat first?"

Luo Xiaohong, a major foodie, usually dove in first whenever there was something delicious.

Unexpectedly, she willingly let him taste the fragrant roast suckling pig first.

"Seems your husband trained well."

Xia Qinglian remarked slyly from the side, causing Qin Gengyun to awkwardly smile and take a roasted pig’s foot, chewing for a moment.

"Is it tasty?"

Luo Xiaohong’s little face was rare with apprehension; this was her first self-cooked dish, first offering to another.

Somehow, her chest felt itchy along with another unfamiliar emotion pressing like a stone in her chest that made breathing uneven.

This feeling was unprecedented in her past eighteen years.

She waited expectantly as Qin Gengyun swallowed the pig’s foot from his mouth, then said:

"It’s delicious! Xiaohong, you indeed have a talent for being a chef!"

Upon hearing his words, Luo Xiaohong’s face instantly blossomed into a radiant smile, and the stone on her chest suddenly fell away.

This sensation exceeded the joy she experienced when praised by her master after a realm breakthrough on Immortal Flying Peak.

No, cultivating on Immortal Flying Peak didn’t provide any happiness at all.

Cultivation, too simple, too dull for her.

But frolicking with friends, wife, husband, cooking a dish for the husband, receiving his praise.

This sensation was so novel, so blissful!

"Xiaohong, try it too."

Qin Gengyun tore another roasted pig’s foot, offering it to Luo Xiaohong.

But Luo Xiaohong didn’t take it, instead turned to Xia Qinglian:

"Wife should eat first!"

Qin Gengyun chuckled, reluctantly offering the pig’s foot to Xia Qinglian, who glared at him while accepting it, took a bite, and nodded:

"Tasty."

Then, she tore a piece off the pig’s foot, offering it to Luo Xiaohong: "You cooked it, you should try it."

Luo Xiaohong held the plate with both hands, directly biting into the pig’s foot from Xia Qinglian’s hand, tearing off a piece of meat, chewing with relish.

"So tasty! So happy!"
