Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 354 Don’t you have parents either?
After half a cup of tea.

After a tiring day, Xiao Yan rushed back home and immediately went straight into the kitchen, where he began to cook.

As cultivators, the disciples in Canaan Academy don't actually have much appetite. Even if they haven't practiced fasting, they often just go to the inner courtyard's exclusive canteen to get some food and eat it quickly.

It is precisely for this reason that the food department, which originally dominated the area, has now been incorporated into the Alchemy Department and has become an unknown branch of it.

This branch of the lineage, relying on the gimmick of the Alchemy Department, barely attracted a very small number of students who could not become alchemists to join it. They earned fire energy by cooking ingredients, and were simply disliked by everyone!

It is conceivable to what extent the monks despise the so-called ordinary food.

However, perhaps because Hun Ruoruo once jokingly called him "Master Chef," Xiao Yan has become even more passionate about this job. Not only has his cooking skills improved rapidly, but he has also developed countless versions of the Fasting Pill.
Just like this, Xiao Yan's alchemy skills improved by leaps and bounds, and even Yao Lao was amazed by it.

Perhaps the practice that is close to the Tao can only be accomplished by such unintentional means?
Since monks come from the mortal world, they naturally cannot be discarded.

After Xiao Yan entered the kitchen that was converted from a training room, Hun Ruoruo was not idle either. She quickly cleaned the table, deftly took out the dishes and chopsticks, and placed them in the places corresponding to the chairs.

This tacit understanding of everyone being busy made Zi Yan, who was always free and unrestrained, a little restless.

Do these two people have such a tacit understanding?
Zi Yan was not completely alone. On the contrary, it was because of Canaan College that her life trajectory, which was originally supposed to be homeless, was deviated.

The person who changed her beastly life was naturally the most gentle and authoritative elder in the inner courtyard, Su Qian.

She often felt hungry and in unbearable pain since she was a child, but she didn't want to swallow the bitter medicinal fruits. After several attempts, Su Qian had no choice but to cook for her personally and prepare a table of meals for her while she was still young.

Zi Yan actually saw all of Su Qian's efforts.

As a Dou Zong-level warrior, Su Qian, who had already been fasting for a long time, would probably think that even eating was a superfluous thing, let alone cooking. However, he plunged into the kitchen for his own sake, getting dirty from time to time, and he did not have the demeanor of a Dou Zong-level warrior at all.
"Xiao Yan should care about her as much as Grandpa Su cares about me, right?"

Looking at the rather heartwarming scene in front of her, Zi Yan couldn't help but hug the pillow tightly in her hands.

Although Zi Yan usually calls him Old Man Su with a joking face, she has never called him that in private.

She's not all carefree.

Jumping down from the soft mattress, Zi Yan ran to the blue-haired girl and tugged at her dress.
"Um, Sister Ruoruo, can I help you?"

As soon as the words fell, they immediately attracted Hun Ruoruo's attention.

She stopped what she was doing and turned her gaze to the petite figure in front of her, a hint of mischief flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"Zi Yan, right?"

Hun Ruoruo bent down and said to the little girl in front of her who was only less than a head taller than the wooden table:
"Xiao Ziyan, you are a guest, why would you think of helping?"

"I'm so bored staying alone."

The little girl blinked and spoke crisply.

The psychological age of twelve or thirteen years old is just the time when she is very busy, so it is obviously unrealistic to ask her to sit and wait for meals.

Hun Ruoruo didn't think much about it and quickly agreed.

She first glanced around, then pointed to the ceramic discs piled nearby and said:

"In that case, could you please, Xiao Ziyan, bring all the dishes over? I heard from Senior Brother that you have a big appetite, so he even found all the pots and pans he bought during his previous training trip."

"Simple!"

Hearing Hun Ruoruo's words, Zi Yan immediately burst into laughter, ran into the kitchen, and picked up a pile of plates and dishes on the table.

With Zi Yan's level of cultivation, it was naturally easy for her to lift a stack of plates and dishes. Perhaps out of a competitive spirit, she did not choose to use her fighting spirit, but divided the plates into two piles, holding them in her left and right hands and walked out of the kitchen.

Just like this, the plates stacked high formed a sharp contrast with the petite figure of the little girl, and they looked quite funny as they swayed.

"Xiao Ziyan, it's hard to put it down if you hold it like this."

As if sensing the danger in Zi Yan's actions, Hun Ruoruo blinked and gave a timely reminder.

Although Zi Yan was extremely strong, her height limited her range of motion. It was obviously extremely difficult for her to hold two stacks of plates at the same time and place them on a wooden table that was as high as her.

After all, she couldn't possibly jump up and throw the plate on the table, could she?

This isn't a fight.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Zi Yan raised the plate above her head and placed it on the wooden table.

"clang!"

With a crisp sound, two stacks of plates were placed safely on the wooden table.

Before Zi Yan could show off proudly, the plate on top suddenly tilted down in the other direction.

the fat is in the fire!
Seeing the shaky plate, Zi Yan's smile froze for a moment. She thought to herself that something was wrong and quickly mobilized her fighting spirit to stabilize the toppled plate.

"Stop, don't use your fighting spirit!"

However, at this moment, Xiao Yan's figure had appeared beside Zi Yan without him knowing when, and he quickly caught the falling plates one by one in his hands.

Zi Yan was dazzled by the perfect control of power, and her bright eyes almost widened. Only Hun Ruoruo had already sat down at the wooden table, looking as if she had expected it.

The actions of the two undoubtedly formed a very sharp contrast.

Quickly placing the plates on the table, Xiao Yan picked up one of them and waved it in Zi Yan's direction, saying with a smile:
"Little girl, this isn't rough work like fighting. It won't work if you only have brute force but no control over it."

"Yes, I'm sorry, Xiao Yan, I just wanted to help."

Zi Yan pouted, then lowered her head with a sense of guilt.

Looking at the little girl in front of him who was acting cute and pitiful, Xiao Yan's words of admonition that were about to come out of his mouth became stuck in his throat. He couldn't help but shook his head in a helpless manner.
"Have a meal!"

To be honest, he now realized how difficult it was to raise a child. He was simply a useless child, and if he wasn't careful, he would cause something bad to happen.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Hun Ruoruo beside him. The girl smiled slightly when she noticed his gaze, and her clear eyes were surprisingly bright.

Half an hour later.

After a busy day, Xiao Yan, who was already tired, also felt hungry. As a physical cultivator, he had a large appetite, so ordinary food could not satisfy his needs at all.

Because of this, most of the ingredients chosen by Xiao Yan were powerful monsters captured in the inner courtyard forest. Among them, the lowest-level monsters had already reached the third level.

It can be said that the food cooked with such ingredients is already worthy of being called spiritual food. One bite will keep an ordinary person full for a long time, and their qi and blood will slowly increase.

Even so, Zi Yan managed to eat half of the fourth-level magical beast 'Wind-Splitting Bird'. Hun Ruoruo, who was swallowing it in small sips beside her, widened her eyes in disbelief.

This little girl is really eating too much, isn't she?
After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Zi Yan burped rather unceremoniously, then patted her slightly bloated belly and said contentedly:

"There's delicious food and company. Going to the herbal medicine storehouse to get food was definitely the best thing I've ever done in my life."

"Xiao Yan, Sister Ruoruo, can I come next time?"

Hearing this, Hun Ruoruo, who had been silent all this time, immediately looked at Xiao Yan beside her.

She moved closer, then took Xiao Yan's arm and said, "Since Senior Brother has no objection, I naturally have no objection either, right?"

After saying that, she raised the boy's limp hand and waved it in Zi Yan's direction.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan turned his head and looked at the other party helplessly, without trying to pull his arms away from the mischievous little hands. He just said to Zi Yan cheerfully:

"If you like it here, it's fine to come here often. However, I don't spend much time here on weekdays. Your sister Ruoruo is basically the only one who can accompany me. It would be best if you two could have common topics to talk about."

"Yeah, we definitely have common topics. I can sense it. Sister Ruoruo and I are the same type of people."

Zi Yan nodded vigorously and said seriously.

"Similar people?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan suddenly became curious. "I see you two haven't spoken much to each other, so how do you know you're the same kind of people?"

"Because that's the feeling I have. Let me tell you, I'm very good at judging people."

Seeing Xiao Yan's suspicious look, Zi Yan suddenly felt a little dissatisfied.

As if to prove her guess, she turned her head and said to Hun Ruoruo who was watching the show:
"Sister Ruoruo, am I right? You don't have a father or a mother either?"

The innocent words of the children were like a huge rock hitting the lake, causing a huge shock!
The originally cheerful atmosphere instantly turned into a dead silence. After an extremely long stalemate, Xiao Yan's difficult voice finally broke the silence.
"You, what did you say?!"

His heart was beating violently, Xiao Yan turned around nervously and looked to the side.

The girl's usual faint smile had completely turned into a frozen expression without her knowing when.
