82: Chapter 82 Gu Yue Delivers Food

“Sorry, I don't plan to recruit anyone recently.”

Under the expectant gazes of Zhang Ming and Lin Zhi Zhi, Li Xuefei slowly spoke.

Lin Zhi Zhi, having gotten the desired outcome, gave the Young Master a disdainful look, showing off. So what if he had a Silver Talent? Our squad doesn't welcome him.

...“Alright then.”

Zhang Ming wasn't disappointed that he couldn't join Squad of his pursuit target. His demeanor remained very proper, and he didn't leave a bad impression on others, except for Lin Zhi Zhi.

With his goal unachieved, Zhang Ming didn't stay long and returned downstairs.

More than ten minutes passed.

“It seems we haven't found any good Talent today. Never mind, let's go back.”

After observing more than seven hundred people showcase their abilities, Li Xuefei, who hadn't found a suitable candidate, gave up on this recruitment effort.

Besides the five Geniuses with Silver Talent, the other newcomers also showed outstanding performances.

However, they still didn't meet her requirements. As for why she refused Zhang Ming, a Silver Genius, to join, it was because she sensed that he seemed to have some ill intentions.

Because of this, even without a Silver Talent teammate, she still decided to reject him.

The other four all belonged to the Defense Force, so she also felt it was inappropriate to make a move.

“Grandpa, we'll be taking our leave first.”

After bidding farewell to Li Changtian, Li Xuefei left the square with Fang Yuan and the others.

As soon as they walked out of the square, Li Yuxuan, who didn't want to join the crowd outside, came to her niece's side and accompanied her back to the manor.

Meanwhile, Fang Yuan and Lin Zhi Zhi returned to the residential area.

“Third Brother, you're back! Hurry up to the second floor, Sister Yueyue brought lots of delicious food, and we're just waiting for you to start.”

The moment he stepped through the door, his Little Sister's sweet voice reached his ears.

Before he could say a word, Fang Ling pulled him towards the second floor, also calling out to Sister Zhi Zhi beside them to join.

Upon reaching the second floor, Fang Yuan saw his parents enthusiastically entertaining Gu Yue, and on the dining table were many sealed monster ingredients.

It turned out that they had originally gathered in the north as usual that day, preparing to leave the city, but due to the Newcomer Grand Examination, today's operation was canceled.

Because of this, Li Xuefei took the two of them and her aunt to the Awakening Square, while Gu Yue, who was not involved in this matter, separated from them.

Having just parted ways with the others, Gu Yue, with nothing to do, thought that since she was free today, she would cook some monster dishes rich in energy for Fang Yuan.

This was to thank him for the great kindness of helping her 'take off,' and also for herself.

This time, Gu Yue specially purchased a portion of Silver Rank 10 monster ingredients worth over fifty energy points, specifically for Fang Yuan.

As long as he finishes eating it, this time it can provide him with at least thirty percent of his energy accumulation.

His leveling up was like her leveling up, so she was quite generous. Besides these, other miscellaneous ingredients cost a total of nearly 800,000 energy points, which was no small expense.

Gu Yue was quite willing to make such a huge expenditure, as if she were doing it for herself.

In her eyes, Fang Yuan had now become her cheat, only needing to be fed, and she would gain considerable returns, much better than if she did it herself.

After comparing these past few days, Gu Yue realized that she really wasn't cut out for Cultivation. The same amount of time and the same experience.

She accumulated less than thirty percent energy, while Fang Yuan had already successfully broken through and taken her flying.

“Fang Yuan, you're back! I'll make you something delicious right away.”

Upon seeing the two return, Gu Yue immediately got up and took the bags of monster ingredients to the kitchen.

To ensure the energy of the dishes, it's best to consume them within an hour after cooking. Since she didn't know when they would return, Gu Yue bought the monster ingredients but didn't cook them yet.

“I'll go help too.”

To find out how delicious dishes are made, the Little Girl chuckled and followed behind, and Second Sister-in-law Cai Lin also went in with her to help.

“Third Brother, this girl is very good, you can't miss out.”

Fang Long, as the father, leaned close to Fang Yuan's ear and whispered to him.

He had a very good impression of this girl who often brought monster dishes and ingredients worth hundreds of thousands.

Although she was two years older than his Third Brother, and his Third Brother was only just over sixteen, he was already impatient for Fang Yuan to make his move.

At sixteen, in this world, it was already a suitable age for marriage.

Many people in the Outer City with average Awakening Talent Ranks hastily married and had children, cultivating the next generation, hoping they could Awaken powerful Talents.

“...Dad, you don't need to worry about these things. You just need to improve your own strength.”

Fang Yuan rolled his eyes at his father, speechless. According to his philosophy, he wouldn't consider marriage until he was at least twenty.

This time might even be pushed back further. Rapidly improving strength was the Dao. Indulging in a gentle embrace would only slowly lead to destruction in this world increasingly assimilated by the Void Realm.

“Haha...”

Fang Long laughed heartily, not caring about what his Third Brother said. In his opinion, since Gu Yue was so proactive, his son certainly wouldn't be able to resist for long.

As he laughed, Fang Long looked back at Gu Yue, who was cooking in the kitchen, and a satisfied smile reappeared on his face... “Sister Yueyue, this piece of meat is packaged so nicely, is it more expensive?”

In the kitchen, Fang Ling immediately noticed the most expensive green scaled monster meat from the Silver Rank 10 creature.

The Little Girl was quite discerning, immediately recognizing this ingredient, which was worth five hundred thousand for less than a pound.

“Hehe, this portion is green scaled monster meat that I specially prepared for your brother, specifically to thank him for always guiding me in combat...”

Following the direction the Little Girl pointed, Gu Yue smiled and explained the origin and purpose of this piece of meat to her.

Gu Yue, who didn't want too many people to know about her Talent, certainly couldn't say she was bringing gifts because of the Fate's Guidance (Talent) Talent.

To avoid saying this, she specially found an excuse, and a very good one at that, which outsiders wouldn't find suspicious.

It was only natural to give gifts to thank someone for their guidance.

With the help of Fang Ling and Cai Lin, Gu Yue quickly cooked one monster dish after another, her movements as graceful as a painter creating her work.

A beautiful woman cooking was extremely aesthetically pleasing. Fang Ling was mesmerized until the first dish was done, and its aroma filled her nose, bringing her back to her senses.
