Junior Sister is too competitive, she drastically alters the Joyful Union Sect.

Chapter 4 Green Branch Entwined with Flower Bracelet

Shen Youqing is too...righteous, righteous and pure, which is completely out of place with the unrestrained and dissolute Hehuan Sect.

She came to the Hehuan Sect not for dual cultivation. If she wasn't going to cultivate with him, then why did she come?

Wouldn't other sects be better?
"Freedom." Shen Youqing's eyes lit up instantly, a blush still lingering on her fair and clean face, making her look somewhat delicate. "At the Hehuan Sect, I can arrange my own time as I please!"

The Hehuan Sect's demands on its disciples were outrageously unrestrained.

New disciples only need to attend classes for one hour each day, which can be chosen at 9 am or 3 pm.

Apart from that, you are free to do whatever you want with your time.

For non-new disciples, there's nothing to worry about once they complete the fixed amount of sect contribution points each month.

The Hehuan Sect's greatest requirement for its disciples is simply to keep them from going astray and to ensure their survival.

As for cultivation and advancement, no one urges you on; it all depends on your own initiative.

This is exactly the sect she has always dreamed of!

Xiao Ke's long, thick eyelashes trembled slightly. He lowered his eyelids, avoiding those beautiful phoenix eyes that were brimming with joy, and said indifferently, "Check if anything is missing from the house."

He had visited the cave dwellings of his two senior sisters, and compared to them, the furnishings in this room seemed rather simple.

Xiao Ke was already thinking about what to add to the room.

"It's all complete, nothing's missing." Shen Youqing smiled, then nervously inquired, "Fifth Senior Brother, I haven't started fasting yet, can I cook here?"

I ate enough fasting pills in my past life, and I will never eat them again in this life!

However... she wasn't sure if her aloof fifth senior brother would agree.

Xiao Ke glanced at Shen Youqing's fingers peeking out from her sleeve; they were slender, fair, and glowed with a healthy pink hue.

This person clearly has never lifted a finger.

"Do you know?"

Shen Youqing was stumped by Xiao Ke's question.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Ke knew he had guessed correctly.

"Come to the kitchen."

Ugh?
There's actually a kitchen here?

Xiao Ke turned and left, swallowing back Shen Youqing's question, and immediately followed.

kitchen.

Xiao Ke stood at the kitchen doorway. He glanced at the kitchen and then at Shen Youqing, gesturing for her to go in and start cooking.

Under Xiao Ke's cold yet undeniable gaze, Shen Youqing suddenly felt a little nervous.

Cooking... shouldn't be harder than cultivating, right?
Looking at the clean and tidy kitchen, Shen Youqing glanced around, feeling somewhat lost and helpless.

What should she do?
Xiao Ke: ...

He raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows to relax from the fatigue brought on by alchemy and the speechless look from Shen Youqing.

How dare this young lady, who has never stepped into a kitchen before, make such a request as to cook?
Xiao Ke's long legs stepped across the threshold, the fragrance of medicinal herbs clinging to his body filling the kitchen.

The spacious and bright kitchen suddenly felt a bit cramped.

"Go and keep watch at the door."

Xiao Ke's deep, clear voice rang out.

Shen Youqing felt a little embarrassed, so he obediently said "Oh" and left.

Picking vegetables, washing vegetables, cooking rice, stir-frying vegetables...

The man rolled up his sleeves, revealing a section of his forearm. His skin, which was excessively white due to the lack of sunlight, had smooth and beautiful muscle lines. His tall and upright figure moved back and forth in the kitchen with fluid and effortless movements.

Shen Youqing leaned against the door frame, staring intently, his face filled with amazement. He couldn't help but think to himself, "Fifth Senior Brother is truly virtuous."

Fifteen minutes later, the three dishes and soup were ready.

After cleaning the kitchen, Xiao Ke used his spiritual power to transfer the food to the wooden table in the pavilion outside.

"Serve the rice."

Shen Youqing looked at the empty bowl on the stove, stepped over the threshold, filled a bowl with rice, and walked to the wooden table.

After she sat down, Xiao Ke began to eat.

Shen Youqing glanced at the man who ate with elegant manners and silently picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks.

The slices of meat are tender, juicy, and flavorful.

good to eat!

Fifth Brother's cooking skills are amazing!
Shen Youqing was about to praise him, but after glancing at Xiao Ke's cold and aloof demeanor, he swallowed his words of praise and lowered his head to eat.

After quietly finishing his meal, Shen Youqing felt his spiritual energy had become much more abundant, since the entire meal was made with spiritual rice and vegetables.

After eating and resting for a while, Shen Youqing rubbed his hands together, full of confidence, and went into the kitchen to cook!

She had just memorized all of Xiao Ke's cooking steps.

Half an hour later.

Xiao Ke stared silently at the strangely shaped, colorful dishes.

He dared not taste them... The stove was still presentable, not too messy, but these dishes...

What if?
What if it just doesn't look good but tastes alright?
Seeing Shen Youqing's bright, expectant eyes looking at him, Xiao Ke mentally prepared himself, picked up his chopsticks with his well-defined fingers, and put a piece of lotus root into his mouth.

The sour, spicy, and salty flavors combined to hit him right in the head; the indescribable taste was both pungent and irritating, causing his eyes to well up with tears.

Xiao Ke decisively turned his head and spat out, then went out to rinse his mouth.

Shen Youqing immediately wilted.

Is it really that bad?

She looked at the dishes that were neither visually appealing nor delicious, and tried her best but still couldn't bring herself to pick them up.

My first time cooking in two lifetimes, and it was a complete failure!
But that's exactly what Fifth Senior Brother did, so why did she fail when she tried?
Shen Youqing was completely baffled.

"Come out." The deep, clear voice rang out again.

Shen Youqing walked around the stove and out of the kitchen, where he saw Xiao Ke standing not far away, holding a teacup.

"You're not allowed to go to the kitchen again." Xiao Ke's cold voice carried a hint of seriousness, but his slightly reddened peach blossom eyes made him look even more beautiful.

Shen Youqing looked at Xiao Ke with pleading eyes, "Fifth Senior Brother, please let me try again! I'm sure I can learn it."

Xiao Ke: ...

Who gave her the confidence?

Those few dishes of hers—or rather, the dishes he'd never eaten before were so awful, they were more like poison.

"Fifth Senior Brother..."

"No." A cold voice mercilessly interrupted Shen Youqing's pleas.

Shen Youqing gave a listless "Oh," her drooping eyebrows and eyes making her look like a listless cat, appearing aggrieved and pitiful.

Xiao Ke suppressed his soft heart.

He'll suffer the consequences if he lets his guard down for a moment!

Looking at the aggrieved and dejected Shen Youqing, Xiao Ke spoke in a cold voice, "Lunch is around noon every day, and dinner is around 5 pm."

Shen Youqing blinked, then smiled happily after realizing what he meant, "Fifth Senior Brother is so nice!"

Xiao Ke looked at Shen Youqing's bright and happy smile and rubbed his fingertips against the teacup.

it is good?
Hopefully, she won't change her mind in the future.

Sunlight filtering through the leaves fell on Shen Youqing, making the bright and youthful girl look like a fairy who had run out of the forest, clean and untouched by the world.

She's too thin; she should gain some weight.

Xiao Ke withdrew his gaze. "The rooms on the east side are all yours. You can arrange them as you see fit."

Shen Youqing nodded.

"What do you want to learn?" Xiao Ke asked.

“I have cultivation techniques,” Shen Youqing obediently replied. “I want to build a foundation, and to build a foundation… I’ll start with body cultivation.”

Physical training?

Looking at Shen Youqing's thin arms and legs, Xiao Ke said nothing, "Go and settle in for a while."

"Okay." Shen Youqing smiled.

She really needed to slow down and take the opportunity to organize her storage bags and rings.

After watching her go inside, Xiao Ke went to the alchemy room.

Inside the room, Shen Youqing looked at the apprenticeship gift given to him by his beautiful master.

She was stunned when she scanned the area with her divine sense.

It has everything you need, including spirit stones, magical artifacts, talismans, elixirs, cultivation techniques, and even all kinds of beautiful dresses and jewelry.

Compared to the apprenticeship ceremony of the Azure Jade Sect in my previous life, my beautiful master's apprenticeship ceremony was a complete slap in the face!
Well, compared to the Hehuan Sect, which is full of alchemists, the Qingyu Sect is really poor.

Speaking of the Azure Jade Sect, I wonder if Shen Qiuluo will break down when faced with their extremely strict and even perverse teaching methods?
Shen Youqing's eyes held a mocking look.

Immediately, she took out the green branch and flower bracelet and dripped her blood to bind it to her.

A white, plump, round bracelet is entwined with a green flower branch. There is no spiritual energy fluctuation, and it looks like a beautiful ornament.

In fact, this green branch and flower bracelet is a magical artifact that can support the growth of living things.

Looking at the bracelet that had been placed on her wrist, Shen Youqing felt a little more at ease.

Immediately afterwards, she packed the items from several storage spaces into the bracelet.

To avoid attracting attention, Shen Youqing made a storage ring and wore it on his finger.

After everything was settled, Shen Youqing felt she had nothing better to do, so she went out of the house, sat cross-legged under the shade of a tree, and began to cultivate.

While organizing the pills, Xiao Ke noticed unusual fluctuations in the spiritual energy outside.

He gathered up a pile of porcelain bottles and went outside to check, only to find Shen Youqing cultivating, surrounded by a bluish-green light.

After watching for a while, Xiao Ke frowned slightly.
