My Co-renting Lady Boss

Tang Ming turned around and left the room, asking Aunt Meng to bring in some warm water, and then headed to the kitchen.

There was no choice, as Lan Yanyou had been waiting a long time for him to cook fish. If rescuing Gehou wasn’t so crucial, this demon cat might have exploded in anger.

"Is the Hall Master really good at cooking?"

Nuoyi stood in the courtyard, looking at Aunt Meng beside him.

Aunt Meng nodded: "Not only is he good at it, but it tastes wonderful. In the morning, he deliberately left a piece of fish in the pot for me, and that taste was just superb. I wonder if we’ll be lucky enough to have some at lunch."

Sure enough, the spicy aroma wafted out of the kitchen, and just smelling it makes one’s mouth water.

"It does smell delicious. Looks like today I’ll have the pleasure of tasting the Hall Master’s skills as well."

Guo Muye laughed heartily outside the kitchen.

Lan Yanyou hummed by the stove, while Tang Ming coughed twice: "If Elder Guo wants to eat, you can come over anytime. But Elder Guo, I have a favor to ask of you."

"Hall Master, feel free to instruct me. No need to talk about favors or anything."

Guo Muye waved his hand.

Tang Ming nodded: "I don’t have many hobbies, just love planting vegetables and herbs. I can still get medicinal seeds and plants through my identity as a Hall Master by asking friends in the Demon Hunting Team, but for vegetables, we can’t possibly ask them as well."

"Hahaha, I understand, I understand. Rest assured, leave it to me. Aunt Meng, I remember you have some relatives in the countryside, don’t you?"

Guo Muye looked at Aunt Meng.

Eager to help, Aunt Meng nodded repeatedly: "Hall Master, don’t worry, leave this to me. Just tell me what you need, I can even find some low-level demon beasts for you."

"She doesn’t need to handle low-level demon beasts. Just tell me what you need, and I’ll catch it for you."

Having just eaten a whole steamed fish, Lan Yanyou looked up at Tang Ming.

This time, Tang Ming only added a bit of chili to the sauce, so it wasn’t very spicy, instead making the steamed fish tender and fragrant.

"Alright, tonight go catch a few gray-feathered chickens alive. We have a patient at home who could use some chicken soup to recuperate."

Tang Ming’s lips curled slightly.

Lan Yanyou hummed again, said nothing more, and snatched the remaining fish from Tang Ming’s plate.

Tang Ming didn’t get angry, knowing the appetite of the Demon Clan is much larger than that of the Human Clan, so this fish was intended for Lan Yanyou.

Lan Yanyou knew this well and thus took it.

"I’ll check on the female assassin from Black Skull, you all enjoy your meal."

Quickly swallowing a couple of bites, Tang Ming carried the pot of fish soup to the room.

After Tang Ming treated Gehou’s wounds, she fell asleep; she was exhausted. The death of Life-taking struck her hard, filling her with hatred and confusion about her future path.

Life-taking’s excessive confidence led to his demise, as the opponent’s strength was far beyond her ability to handle.

The Black Skull organization follows strict rules, so Life-taking Scholar and Skull Madam are unlikely to avenge him.

In the end, revenge without benefits is pointless for Black Skull, for them, profit reigns supreme.

Just as Skull Madam said to Life-taking before, since they accepted the assassination task for Tang Ming, being killed was no injustice; in the end, those who kill will be killed.

Seeking help from the Chu Family could only bring Black Skull some benefits, but it violated their principles.

Life-taking searching out the Chu Family was personal, and regardless of the consequence, it was unrelated to Black Skull.

The door creaked open from outside, and Tang Ming entered with a bowl of fish soup.

"You’re awake."

Tang Ming sat beside the bed, looking at Gehou.

Gehou shrunk her body: "What do you want to do."

"Get you to eat something. You’ll need strength to recover, and I have some questions for you once you’re better."

Tang Ming placed the fish soup beside her, the spoon resting in the liquid.

The aroma of the fish soup tickled Gehou’s nose and she swallowed hard.

"For me."

Gehou looked at Tang Ming in disbelief.

Previously, when everyone called him Hall Master, Gehou understood Tang Ming’s status. In Tianpo City, the only one respected and called Hall Master was Tang Ming.

Though she didn’t know who Tang Ming was, she was well aware of the assassin targeting him. That person was one of the Black Skull assassins cultivated by Life-taking.

Being one of the top assassins in Tianpo City, his skills are undoubtedly strong, something Gehou could easily imagine.

But not only did that person fail to kill Tang Ming, his actions brought the Black Skull to ruin.

"Just ask your questions directly. No need to treat me so kindly. I’m just a lowly person. One elixir is already hard enough to repay you."

Gehou choked slightly, and tears suddenly fell.

"An assassin who cries. Who knows what your mentor would think seeing you like this."

Tang Ming slightly raised an eyebrow.

Gehou reached out and wiped her tears: "He can’t see it anymore; he died at the hands of the Chu Family’s elder."

"Chu Family elder?"

Tang Ming’s eyes narrowed.

When challenging the Chu Family’s pharmacy, Tang Ming was well informed about them. From what he knew, the strongest in the Chu Family now should be their elders.

The elders were of Chu Bashan’s generation, with Chu Batian being the most powerful. The Chu Family elder was a completely unfamiliar figure to him.

"Elder Guo, could you come in for a moment."

Tang Ming’s voice resonated in the room.

Everyone eating in the yard raised their heads.

Guo Muye and Lan Yanyou entered Tang Ming’s room quickly one after the other, and relieved to see he was fine.

"Hall Master, you were looking for me."

Guo Muye stood beside Tang Ming.

Tang Ming nodded: "Previously, you mentioned about the Chu Family. You grew up in Tianpo City and are very familiar with matters here. I want to ask, do you know who the Chu Family elder in Tianpo City is?"

"Chu Family elder? You mean Chu Li, but isn’t he already dead?"

Guo Muye looked at Tang Ming in surprise, knowing well of the Chu Family elder Chu Li.

After all, Chu Li once served as Tianpo City’s City Lord and Tower Master of Tianpo Tower.

Later, due to Jiulong Tower’s dissatisfaction with the Chu Family, he left Tianpo City with the Chu people.

Even with this, the Chu Family remains quite dominant in Tianpo City.
