His cooking is so delicious that he's become the darling of the entire cultivation world.

Chapter 27 Sleeping

child time.

Moonlight streamed down, falling upon the tranquil courtyard.

The sky is dotted with stars.

inside the house.

Yun Ci took a quilt out of the cabinet and looked at Hei Zi, who was standing motionless beside her. "Here, you can use this. It's clean too."

Hei Zi nodded, took the blanket with both hands, and hugged it to his chest.

It remained untouched.

They seemed somewhat at a loss.

Yun Ci was also a little embarrassed, but considering that they were both "kids" at the moment, she didn't think too much about it.

"Uh, is it okay for you to sleep inside? I'm a restless sleeper." Yun Ci blinked her starry eyes.

Hei Zi nodded, picked up the blanket, and walked to the bedside.

Looking at Yun Ci's clean bedding, Hei Zi lowered his head.

He gently placed the quilt on the bed, then bent down, took off his coat and put it on the floor before getting into bed.

Yun Ci looked at Hei Zi's body, which was practically devoid of flesh after he took off his clothes, and even his undergarments were hanging loosely on him.

too skinny.

Are all menial disciples like this?

No, he remembered that the servants who bought his things were all very strong.

He's the only one who's so thin and small.

Yun Ci's bed wasn't big; it was more than enough for one adult, but two people would need to sit very close together.

Fortunately, they are both very thin, so they don't have to squeeze together; when they lie flat, their shoulders just touch.

Yun Ci also took off her shoes and coat.

"Huh? Why are your clothes on the floor?"

Hei Zi looked over and saw Yun Ci pick up his gray clothes and put them on the stool along with his own clothes.

Kuroko's dark eyes lit up when he saw the clothes folded together.

Yun Ci also lay down inside, and Hei Zi moved a little further in.

Feeling part of her body suspended in mid-air, Yun Ci moved further inside.

That's good.

Yun Ci turned his head and found Hei Zi looking at him.

Those eyes shone brightly in the darkness.

Yun Ci suddenly thought Hei Zi's eyes were very beautiful, and his facial features were also good, but they were too dark.

What were you thinking...?

Kuroko seemed taken aback by being seen and was the first to look away.

"Ha~ I'm sleepy, let's go to sleep." Yun Ci yawned and turned his back to Hei Zi.

Kuroko gave a soft "hmm" and turned around.

Little White was lying on the table by the window.

There was absolutely no sound coming from inside the house.

The only sounds were the calls of birds and animals flying by outside.

Hei Zi listened to Yun Ci's shallow breathing beside him and tugged at the blanket.

Hei Zi was slightly taken aback when he smelled an extremely faint fragrance.

She tugged at the blanket again.

It doesn't smell like soapberry.

The person next to him suddenly moved.

The black ball stopped moving.

Yun Ci turned over, seemingly feeling hot, and stretched one leg out, straddling the blanket.

The soft breathing sounds grew closer.

The black pieces didn't move.

A moment later, Kuroko turned around.

He looked at Yun Ci face to face.

By the moonlight outside, he looked at Yun Ci's fair face and delicate features.

In the darkness, his dark eyes shone brightly.

Seeing Yun Ci's exposed legs, Hei Zi gently covered him with a blanket.

After watching for an unknown amount of time, Kuroko finally closed his eyes.

Soft breathing could be heard from inside the room.

.....

Two hours later.

A figure suddenly appeared inside the cabin.

The Immortal Venerable Jiqing looked indifferently at the person sleeping sprawled out on the bed, arms and legs out of place, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

In contrast, the people inside slept much more peacefully.

With a casual wave of his hand, Immortal Venerable Jiqing sent something flying out.

If Yun Ci were awake, he would realize that this was the stone that had blocked two attacks for him.

At the same time, an identical stone flew back.

The Immortal Venerable Jiqing held that thing in his hand.

Before leaving, he glanced out the window, his eyes indifferent.

Disappeared instantly.

The little white dog by the window was all bristling, poised to pounce at any moment.

Upon closer inspection, its eyes were filled with apprehension.

......

the next day.

When Yun Ci woke up, she found that the bedside was empty and the quilt was neatly folded.

He stretched, assuming the young boy was outside.

I got up and went outside, only to find that the person was already gone.

I was a little surprised. Did they go back so early?

Without much thought, since he still had to set up a stall today, he quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face with toothpaste.

Change your clothes.

In the morning, Yunci cooked a pot of vegetable and lean meat porridge and also took out the soup dumplings that she had steamed yesterday.

I picked some fresh vegetables for Xiao Hei, chopped them into pieces, and put them in his rice bowl.

I served Xiaobai a big bowl of porridge and saved 20 soup dumplings.

However, Yun Ci noticed that Xiao Bai was acting strangely when she woke up today, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

Yun Ci put her porridge into the bamboo tube.

Seeing that Xiaobai is alright, it should be around 7 AM by now.

Yun Ci was about to go to the square for breakfast.

After thinking for a moment, he packed a bag of rice, lean meat, and vegetables, and also took some bamboo tubes.

There was simply no room left.

Yun Ci had no choice but to carry it by hand.

Xiao Bai called out when it saw Yun Ci was about to leave.

Yun Ci instructed, "If it's not enough, there's still a bowl left in the pot."

"Chewmi."

After saying that, Yun Ci closed the door and hurried to Xuanyuan Square with the bamboo tube in his hand.

at this time.

Xuanyuan Square.

On the east side, there were only a few people at each of the stalls.

A spot on the west side was packed with people.

"Huh? Senior Brother Fu didn't set up a stall?" an inner disciple asked in confusion.

"You want to buy pills, right? Come back at noon! Fu Zhi went to the west!" said a disciple at a nearby stall.

The inner disciple looked puzzled. "West? Did you set up your stall in the west? I'll go check it out then. Thanks..."

"No, it's obvious you don't know."

The inner disciple was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "I had a mission a couple of days ago, so I only came today."

The people at the nearby stalls had an "I knew it" look on their faces and said, "Yun Ci is selling food on the west side. It's extremely fresh and delicious, and everyone has gone to buy some."

The inner disciple was taken aback. "Food?" He then looked at the seated person. "Then why didn't this fellow Daoist go?"

"I gave a handyman 5 spirit stones to buy it for me. I'm in line now."

As the vendor spoke, his thoughts drifted to food, and his face showed anticipation.

Hehe, what delicious food is on the menu today?

I want to eat the scallion pancakes from yesterday again.

Lin Mu thought for a moment, thanked him, and agreed to go and take a look in the west.

The people at the nearby stalls shook their heads.

It's definitely too late to go now.

......

west.

The place was bustling with noise and extremely lively.

Disciples from the Discipline Hall stepped forward to maintain order.

The people from the Discipline Hall are always there, but they usually patrol at specific times and only show up when something happens.

Like now.

"This is my spot. I got here before you!"

"What? Say it again, I was here first."

"You want to fight me?"

"Come on. Let's go to the dueling arena."

The people in the Discipline Hall saw this and were about to stop them when they heard them shout.

"Go ahead, who's afraid! Let me finish queuing, then I'll go."

"Me too, I'll wait in line first. I want to eat a scallion pancake."

"Fellow Daoist, you also like scallion pancakes?"

"Do you like it too?"

The people in the discipline hall, "..."

They maintained order elsewhere, looking utterly speechless.

"Line up, line up, line up in the order of first come, first served!"

"Seriously, what treasure is there? Why are there so many people? Even last year's Silver Moon Sword wasn't like this! That was a top-grade spiritual weapon, just one step away from becoming a celestial weapon."

"A disciple from the disciplinary hall complained."

"Selling food? You didn't know?"

"Food? You're queuing for this long just for food?"

He went out on a mission, and when he returned, eating had become a popular activity in the sect. Besides...

"Food? What's so delicious about it? Cultivators don't need to eat!"

The person next to him nodded, "That makes sense. Could you cover for me for a bit while I go queue up?"

With so many people, I wonder if we'll even be able to buy any...

With that, he went to the back of the line.

The disciple from the Enforcement Hall was dumbfounded.

No, it's just food, isn't it?

Xu Tianwei and Yu Dongsheng were in the middle.

Yu Dongsheng sighed as he looked at the long queue. "Looks like I'll need to come earlier tomorrow."

Xu Tianwei nodded.

Who says no.

They arrived even earlier today than yesterday, only to find that there were already more than twenty people in the square.

Why isn't Yun Ci here yet?

"Yes"

"It's alright, let's wait a bit, it won't make a difference."

"Mmm, the scallion pancake and grilled sausage yesterday were so delicious, I want to eat them again!"

"I want to eat the steamed buns from the day before yesterday, especially the meat buns. I've never had such delicious steamed buns before."

"Stop talking, I'm already craving it!"

"..."

The long queue stretched down the aisle, and some clever people set up their stalls nearby.

Sometimes, sect disciples who are bored while waiting in line will look at the stalls and buy whatever catches their eye.

There were more people at the stalls near Yun Ci's stall than at other places.

Some people want to take Yun Ci's place.

Those of higher social class disagreed.
