44: Section 44

“Youlan, step back.”

“Don’t draw your sword so readily in the future.”

Hearing Xu Miaoyin’s reprimand, Youlan slowly returned her sword to its sheath.

“Yes, Sect Head.”

Xu Miaoyin then looked at a round table in the hall, which was just large enough for the eight of them.

Then she looked at Su Mo.

A soft, gentle voice came.

“Boss, there are only eight of us, and we don’t drink. Just some vegetarian dishes and rice will do.”

Su Mo nodded.

“Okay, then I’ll make it for eight people.”

After speaking, Su Mo walked towards the kitchen.

Xu Miaoyin and the others also took their seats one by one.

…

In the kitchen.

Guo Lin angrily kicked the firewood on the ground.

As the firewood rolled around, her heart was also in a mess.

Why was her Su Gege so easily admired by other women?

So annoying!

After more than a month, Chun Lan knew her Young Miss’s thoughts all too well.

She just didn’t know what was so good about Su Mo that made her Young Miss so infatuated with him.

But her master’s affairs were not something a servant like her could interfere with, so she could only take the dishes out of the pot and place them on the kitchen table.

“Young Miss, let’s eat first.”

“I have to say, Steward Su’s cooking is delicious. I feel like my waistline has gotten thicker recently.”

Hearing Chun Lan’s words,

Xu Miaoyin’s slender waist suddenly flashed through Guo Lin’s mind.

“I’m not eating, I’m on a diet!”

Chapter 52: Xu Miaoyin, dissuaded by Su Mo, and Liao Ming with a tendency to overthink

At this moment, Su Mo walked into the kitchen and saw that the food was already on the table, but Guo Lin hadn’t touched her chopsticks.

He couldn’t help but feel a little strange.

“Why aren’t you eating?”

“Today, I specially made your favorite Saliva Chicken and Osmanthus Roasted Duck.”

Guo Lin felt a little angry when she saw Su Mo like this.

“No, no, I want to lose weight!”

Su Mo didn’t understand the meaning of her words and could only nod.

“Alright.”

“I’ll make more vegetarian dishes for you in the future.”

Su Mo then threw some green vegetables into a wooden basin and scooped some well water to wash them.

Hearing Su Mo’s reply, Guo Lin suddenly felt a surge of suppressed anger.

What did he mean by “alright”?

Was she someone who liked to eat vegetarian food?

Chun Lan, who was beside her, quickly pulled Guo Lin’s sleeve.

“Young Miss, let’s eat first.”

“Steward Su has business.”

Guo Lin nodded helplessly.

“Alright…”

“……”

Su Mo quickly finished cooking the rice and stir-fries and sent them to the front hall.

Seeing that Su Mo had already left,

Chun Lan looked at her Young Miss.

“Young Miss, do you like Steward Su?”

Guo Lin immediately blushed deeply.

“What are you talking about?”

Chun Lan smiled sweetly.

“Young Miss, if you like Steward Su, you can’t act like this.”

“I see that Steward Su has frighteningly good luck with women. That female knight just now seemed to have taken a liking to Steward Su at first sight.”

“Although a thousand catties of affection are no match for four ounces of bosom, we can’t let this throw us off our game.”

“Young Miss, why don’t you prepare some small gifts for Steward Su, such as a handkerchief embroidered by your own hands, and then embroider some poems expressing your affection on it.”

Guo Lin was a little moved by what she said.

“Can that work…?”

“Yes, of course it can, Young Miss. Just listen to me, and I guarantee you’ll win over Steward Su!”

…

In the restaurant lobby.

Bai Manshan and the other three were already dead drunk, snoring loudly in their seats.

On the Snow Woman Sect’s side, they were scrambling to eat the stir-fries made by Su Mo.

Their eyes were shining as they ate, unable to stop at all.

“Leave some for me.”

“This is my favorite, you eat that one.”

“Delicious, delicious. I never expected such a great chef in this small county town. The dishes are even better than those made in the big restaurants in Bianjing.”

“This place truly has hidden Dragons…”

The female Disciples of the Snow Woman Sect had always lived a rough life, eating simple flatbreads when hungry. They had never tasted such delicious dishes.

It was so delicious that everyone couldn’t stop their chopsticks, even after they were full, they still wanted to eat more.

Looking at her Disciples, Xu Miaoyin showed some heartache, they truly suffered in their daily lives.

Unfortunately, most of the Snow Woman Sect’s business was monopolized by the Blood Clothes Tower, so they could only swallow their anger.

Afterward.

Xu Miaoyin gently raised her hand, her fair wrist like snow, and picked up a piece of vegetable leaf to put into her mouth.

As she chewed, her mouth was immediately filled with a wonderful taste, tender with a hint of sweetness, and although there was a slight bitterness in the sweetness, it was this hint of bitterness that made the dish less greasy.

Delicious, truly delicious.

Xu Miaoyin was stunned.

She had never eaten such delicious food. Could it be that Su Lang had exchanged all his martial arts talent for cooking talent in this life?

Su Mo stood by, watching this scene with a smile.

There was nothing more satisfying than seeing a group of beautiful women, especially Xu Miaoyin, this peerless beauty, immersed in the dishes he had personally made.

Xu Miaoyin then slanted a glance at Su Mo.

“Thank you, Boss, for making such delicious food.”

Her bright eyes flowed, and her glances illuminated the entire hall.

Her brows were full of charm.

Su Mo felt his soul float a little from that slanted glance.

Holy cow.

Su Mo was startled.

He used to think that the gaze of a beautiful woman could steal one’s soul was a lie, but Xu Miaoyin’s glance was truly extraordinary!

Could it be that she had Cultivated some charming technique?

Su Mo thought back carefully and didn’t remember that Xu Miaoyin had Cultivated any charming techniques in the simulation. It was probably just pure natural charm maxed out.

During the simulation, she didn’t feel that stunning.

In reality, each one is more beautiful than the last.

Top-tier beauties don’t photograph well!

“Cough, cough.”

Su Mo coughed to relieve his nervous and awkward mood.

“It’s nothing, it’s what I should do.”

“I just don’t know if it’s convenient to ask, who are you all, and are you also here in Linjiang City to exterminate the Black Wind Stronghold?”

Youlan, beside Xu Miaoyin, spoke.

“We are from the Snow Woman Sect, and this is our Sect Head, Sect Head Xu Miaoyin.”

“As for the Black Wind Stronghold, you are right. The bounty this time is a full one thousand five hundred taels, so we wanted to try our luck.”

Su Mo was a little surprised.

“So much, one thousand five hundred taels, that can do a lot.”

“But I still have to warn you that I heard these Black Wind Stronghold bandits are not simple. It seems there are Demons causing trouble behind them.”

“Demons?”

Unbeknownst to him,

The three drunken Bai Manshan had already sobered up, their eyes fixed on Su Mo.

Liao Ming put his palms together, his face flushed, and let out a drunken burp.

“Benefactor, please elaborate.”

Seeing this, Su Mo couldn’t help but inwardly grumble.

Weren’t you drunk?

How did you wake up as soon as you heard the keyword?

But grumbling aside, Su Mo still embellished and subtly explained.

“I heard that these bandits have been capturing people for several months, but no one they took has ever been released.”

“We all know that being a bandit is also for wealth, isn’t it? This kind of behavior is clearly abnormal.”

“And they capture one batch after another, it’s almost like they’re using living people for Alchemy.”

Hearing Su Mo’s description, the female Disciples of the Snow Woman Sect turned pale with fright.

If they were ordinary bandits, they could still deal with them.

But what if there really were Demons?
