Chapter 1194 - 740: A Sunny Day
"Junior Brother is here." At some point, Jiang Feng appeared at the doorway.
She gazed at the young man and woman in the courtyard, and no matter how she looked at them, they seemed like a golden couple.
Jiang Feng now knew quite a bit about her junior brother and sister. She had even heard that Du Yu had lived at Li Mengnan’s house for a year during high school.
Does this count as childhood sweethearts?
Today, Jiang Feng was moving into a new home and was undoubtedly in high spirits, seeing everything as bright and pleasant.
Not to mention, Li Mengnan was truly youthful and sweet, with a bright smile...
"Congratulations, Senior Sister!" Du Yu stepped forward with a flower pot, "I’m giving you two sunflowers."
"Sunflowers." Jiang Feng had rarely seen such demonic plants.
The two small sunflowers were looking up at the sun, emitting a bit of warmth and light, equally "bright."
"Thank you, Junior Brother, I won’t refuse." Jiang Feng accepted the small potted plants with a smile, "Come inside and sit."
"Eh, okay." Du Yu followed Jiang Feng, stepping into the house.
The small stand-alone villa had three floors, but one of them was a basement. To Du Yu’s surprise, the house even had an elevator.
It seemed it must be for the convenience of ordinary residents.
As for the second floor, Jiang Feng didn’t even need to climb the stairs; she made a light jump to the balcony~
"Master Qing." In the living room, Du Yu saw the Immortal Master eating fruit and watching TV.
The woman was dressed in a light green, elegant gown, her ethereal appearance contrasting starkly with the modern furniture around her.
Hearing the familiar voice, Yang Qingqing slightly turned her head to look at Du Yu.
At that moment, Du Yu felt puzzled.
He sensed a hint of reproach in the woman’s eyes.
This...?
I’ve been quite well-behaved recently, haven’t done anything wrong, right?
Du Yu didn’t understand, but Yang Qingqing turned her head back, continuing to watch TV.
Just when Du Yu was about to say something, the woman suddenly spoke: "Go cook."
"Okay." Du Yu responded quietly, scratching his head, heading to the kitchen.
"Junior Brother!" In the kitchen, Fu Jianzhou was flipping a wok, busy and having fun.
Seeing this scene, Du Yu laughed: "Senior Brother Fu really is skillful in both cooking and appearance~"
Fu Jianzhou: ???
Du Yu smiled and said: "With such incredible cooking skills, you’ve been cooking from Master Qing’s house all the way to Senior Sister’s house."
Hearing this, Fu Jianzhou also laughed: "Aren’t you the same?"
Du Yu’s face froze.
Indeed, it seemed like he came to cook too?
Fu Jianzhou gestured to the counter: "The ingredients are almost ready, I’ll help you cut the meat later, go wash your hands first."
Du Yu glanced at the ingredients, all were for cooking "Master Qing’s Favorite Four Dishes" set.
With pursed lips, he had no reason to refute, and resignedly went to the sink to wash his hands.
While cooking, Fu Jianzhou said, "Senior Brother Li Jing will be here soon."
"Oh, right!" Du Yu had a suddenly realized look, "I thought something was missing, turns out it’s a dish washer."
"Hehe~" A light laugh came from the kitchen door.
Du Yu turned to look, seeing Lin Shiwei wearing a black dress, as noble and elegant as Master Qing, but with an added imposing air.
"Is there anything I can help with?" Lin Shiwei looked around.
Du Yu immediately directed, "You can slice the meat... uh, never mind."
"Hmm?" Lin Shiwei looked at Du Yu in confusion.
"Better not hold a knife." Du Yu muttered quietly, "It’s frightening."
Lin Shiwei gave Du Yu a sideways glance, casually pulling a table knife from the knife rack.
At that moment, a sudden chill came over the previously warm kitchen.
Fu Jianzhou promptly turned his head, flipping the wok a couple more times, quickly dishing out braised ribs: "Junior Brother, I’m done."
Saying that, Fu Jianzhou placed the dish on the table, swiftly walking out of the kitchen.
"Not even washing the pan." Du Yu mumbled, holding the pan, looking at the girl, "You just got here?"
"I was planting a tree in the backyard." Lin Shiwei threw a piece of meat on the cutting board, twirling the table knife in her hand.
Du Yu grinned tightly, worried that her next move would be to stab the knife into the meat.
"Slash~ slash~" Under Du Yu’s worried gaze, General Lin raised her hand and the knife fell.
It was clear she wasn’t skilled at cutting, using just one hand without assistance to slice the meat.
But contradictorily, Lin Shiwei’s knife skills were remarkably good!
The slices of meat were cut uniformly and evenly, remarkably quick!
This wasn’t mere slicing, it was akin to practicing intricate knife techniques.
Lin Shiwei looked intently at the meat on the board: "Better hurry up, don’t keep Master Qing waiting."
"Oh." Chef Du carried the pan to the gas stove, passing by the girl, clueless whether General Lin did it intentionally or not, she twirled the knife again.
Du Yu immediately tensed, his temples throbbing!
Lin Shiwei lowered her head, her shoulders shaking slightly, struggling not to laugh.
"Darn it." Du Yu complained inwardly.
If it came to a real showdown with weapons, he certainly wouldn’t be intimidated by General Lin.
But aura, although invisible, is something that truly exists. While cooking, Du Yu’s mind wandered back to the Gilded Bronze Seal·Celestial General.
That towering Golden Armor General must possess an extremely formidable presence!
Once General Lin forms a contract with the Celestial General, her aura will certainly become even stronger!
"Use less meat." Du Yu said, leaning backward, "Master Qing doesn’t eat it, just render some fat, to capture some flavor."
Lin Shiwei used the back of the knife to hold some slices of meat, placing them into the dry pot.
Du Yu casually said, "After dinner, I’m heading to Jinguan City·Bamboo Grove, the Gilded Bronze Seal might be fully remolded."
"Hmm?" Lin Shiwei was slightly surprised.
Regarding matters like the Tai Sui Bamboo Array and the reshaping of the Gilded Bronze Seal, Du Yu had only reported to Master Qing.
Du Yu flipped the meat slices with a spatula, "Will you accompany me later?"
"Sure."
"Third Sister!" Li Mengnan rushed in, covering the ground quickly with her long legs, arriving swiftly behind the girl.
Li Mengnan placed a red fruit near Lin Shiwei’s mouth.
"Hmm." Lin Shiwei hesitated for a moment but still accepted the offer.
Du Yu chuckled, "You should pick fewer fruits next time, don’t pluck the Xun Grass bald."
"How could that be? It’s a Saint-level Demonic Plant!" Li Mengnan said with dissatisfaction, putting a fruit near Du Yu’s mouth, "Ah..."
Du Yu: "..."
Why, when it comes to me, do I always have to go "ah"?
Lin Shiwei watched the intimate actions of the two, her eyelids lowering slightly, as she smiled and shook her head.
Just as Li Mengnan’s mother, Teacher Li Hong, had guessed before, certain words had already been exchanged between Mengnan and Shiwei without Du Yu knowing.
A very realistic issue is that given Du Yu’s Demon Taming Dao, there is only one solution to this problem.
Of course, at this stage, it wasn’t the time to discuss romantic affairs.
Everyone was too busy, busy with cultivation, busy with the grandest undertaking of the Demon Taming World.
It’s uncertain when this task will be completed; perhaps in one to two years, one to two decades, or even one to two centuries.
In the end, the road is long.
Just wait until the Golden Crow Saint fulfills its wish, and when everyone achieves fame and success...
By that time, all romantic relationships will have naturally fallen into place.
Li Mengnan urged, "Eat quickly, turn into a pretty boy, handsome enough to blow snot bubbles!"
"Heh." Originally, Lin Shiwei’s thoughts were a bit complex, but hearing this, she couldn’t help but laugh.
"I’m eating, I’m eating." Du Yu mumbled, "By the way, Mengnan, how are Teacher Li and Uncle Li?"
Upon hearing this, Li Mengnan’s face lit up with joy, "They met, just yesterday!"
"Really?" Du Yu placed the dish on a plate, "Are you serious?"
"Yep, they were all sneaky, not wanting me to see them." Li Mengnan smiled happily, "I followed my dad and saw them walking by the lake."
"Whoa~" Du Yu handed the plate to Lin Shiwei, "Is Lady really so effective?"
Whether effective or not, the bustling incense in Huangtu Temple had already given Du Yu the answer.
But when it all truly happened around him, Du Yu still found it a bit unbelievable.
"Mmhmm, they seemed to be having a good conversation." Li Mengnan couldn’t contain her smile, "It was a bit chilly last night, and my dad even gave my mom his coat."
Du Yu looked impressed, feeling intrigued.
Li Mengnan whispered, "But my mom didn’t wear it."
Du Yu: "..."
"It doesn’t matter, it’s a good start." Li Mengnan said confidently, "After returning to my dad’s place last night, he praised me a lot.
Said I’m successful, their pride, praised a lot."
It seemed that Mr. Li and Mrs. Li’s topic still revolved around their daughter, and perhaps it was because of Li Mengnan that they ended up chatting on a walk.
Du Yu’s mind stirred, "Lady helped you, why don’t you make an effort too? Help match them up."
"No, let’s not." Li Mengnan refused firmly, "With my mouth, I could turn a good thing bad.
Let them fall in love freely."
"Who?" Suddenly, a voice came from the kitchen door, and Li Jing looked at the trio inside with a smile, "Who’s in love?"
But that smile, why did it seem like an auntly smile?
Li Mengnan laughed awkwardly, "My dad and my mom."
Li Jing was instantly baffled: ???
"Brother’s here!" Du Yu greeted, "Quick, there are a few plates over there, help wash them."
Li Jing: "..."
Maybe I should just leave?
"Hurry up, brother, it’s just the last dish, dinner will be ready soon."
"Right away." Li Jing resignedly walked in.
Li Mengnan muttered softly, "Brother is so nice, rushing back from over 300 kilometers away just to wash dishes."
For a moment, Li Jing felt a surge of blood rushing in.
The aunt-like smile was completely gone.
Instead, Du Yu laughed, "Indeed, with your mouth... well, let them have a free love then."
"Go." Li Mengnan spat at Du Yu and turned to leave.
When Du Yu finished cooking the last dish, Li Jing immediately called everyone to the kitchen to eat.
It’s worth mentioning that Senior Sister Jiang Feng’s family dinner was quite successful.
Especially since everyone just returned from the Ashen Continent, they treasured this sunny world dearly.
The house was filled with laughter and warmth.
Regarding the theory that "every warrior needs a home," Du Yu found a perfect answer in Jiang Feng’s smile.
Master Qing truly lived up to being a master.
Knowing how to redeem a person, at least knowing how to help a disciple live better.
The gathering lasted until three in the afternoon, and only then did Du Yu take Master Qing and Lin Shiwei to say goodbye to everyone.
Fu Jianzhou and Li Jing would stay at Senior Sister’s house for a while longer, helping to tidy up and arrange the new home.
Li Mengnan stayed at home for a few days under Master Qing’s instruction, keeping Jiang Feng company.
After the excitement, the once-bustling house suddenly became quiet, there would inevitably be a psychological gap.
Meanwhile, Du Yu and the other two took the Life and Death Tree Heart and opened the spatial rift.
For Du Yu, upon returning to Bamboo Grove, it was time to unveil the mystery of the Celestial General’s Seal.
If the Tai Sui Bamboo Array still cannot be unraveled...
Then I’ll use the Void Axe to help unveil it!
