You are not monster girls!

Chapter 154 You Know How to Cook Chicken (4k)

Lin Muran wasn't sure if it was just her perception, but even though there were more people in her family, the temperature seemed to have dropped considerably, especially on her sides.

Yun Yifei and Bai Mengqing disliked each other intensely, but one was looking up while the other was looking down.

"Well, since things have come to this, let's eat first."

This was the first time Lin Muran had encountered such a tricky situation, so he could only cough twice to divert the attention of his sister and the dragon.

To avoid the two women actually fighting.

"it is good."

The two women agreed in unison, but their gazes did not shift at all.

"Let's eat, let's eat. We're exhausted from walking so much."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the living room had eased somewhat, Qingyi walked out of the bathroom with a smile.

Although she enjoys watching fun, she doesn't want to get involved in it herself.

From a woman's perspective, both Xiaoyun and Xiaoqinglong are like landmines of unknown power.

If Lin Muran were to accidentally destroy even one of them, he would definitely not be the only one to die.

Xia Li silently raised her hand in agreement.

"Let me prepare the food for you. After all, feeding so many people is no small task." Yun Yifei deliberately glanced at Bai Mengqing's chest and stood up.

"If you're not incapable of making something more substantial, then having an extra helper would certainly be better."

Lin Muran wanted to refuse, but then she felt the chilling gaze on the other person's spine and had no choice but to agree.

"Don't worry, I've been cooking some meals for myself while I've been living alone."

"Does that mean putting the cooked stir-fried pork back into the pan and stir-frying it again?"

"Ah."

"Then you can definitely be considered a good cook." Lin Muran's palms were already sweating.

"I...I want to help too!!"

Seeing that Yun Yifei was about to follow Lin Muran to the kitchen, Bai Mengqing gritted her teeth and stood up as well.

She always felt that the longer Lin Muran spent time with his sister, the more precarious his personal safety would become.

Normally, siblings should fight like madmen whenever they meet, but Lin Muran and Yun Yifei give her the feeling of a couple who have been divorced for some time in a TV drama.

"The kitchen is too small. Why don't you and Chef Qing go to the room and play on the computer or browse your phone for a while while we wait for dinner?"

Seeing that Bai Mengqing's tail drooped down somewhat dejectedly, Lin Muran added, "There will be many more opportunities in the future."

"Oh"

A hint of sadness flashed in Bai Mengqing's vertical pupils, but she still wagged her tail again and sat back down on the sofa.

However, when Lin Muran and Yun Yifei were busy on the island counter with their backs to the living room, she leaned on the back of the sofa and observed that the two of them would occasionally bump shoulders because of the cramped space, and couldn't help but bite her fingers.

She was the one who arrived first.
No, it seems that Sister Lin Muran did arrive first.

Xia Li was in the same position as Bai Mengqing, lying on the back of the sofa to spy on Lin Muran. She had seen similar scenes on TV and at first thought they were quite normal, but seeing them in person was a different feeling.

I wonder what it would be like if I were in Yun Yifei's shoes.

Seeing the two depressed spirit beasts, Qingyi glanced at the kitchen again, sighed with a wry smile, and said, "What a sinful man."

After complaining, she secretly turned her gaze to the kitchen and began to observe it.

Lin Muran and Qingyi had planned to host a welcome banquet today, so they bought a lot of food. They didn't expect to be able to entertain both of them at once.

With a somewhat useful henchman, five dishes were served in an hour and a half, and the soup was made with fruit juice stored at home.

Braised chicken with chestnuts, stir-fried pork with yam and wood ear mushrooms, plus two kinds of green vegetables.

Qingyi, who had already turned into a heartless rice-eating machine with Xia Li, stared at the roast chicken sandwich, and after shoveling a few more mouthfuls of rice in a very uncivilized manner, sighed, "Lin Muran's kindness can never be repaid."

"Do cultivators also eat meat?" Yun Yifei asked curiously.

Qingyi picked up the chicken piece and deliberately shook it: "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha remains in the heart. I'm just trying to help it pass on."

"You know this is chicken?" Lin Muran swallowed.

The reason for choosing roast chicken was simply that Lin Muran was curious whether Qingyi, as a bird-like spirit beast, would eat chicken. After all, the Azure Phoenix and the Roc, which are birds of prey, are somewhat different.

If she really doesn't want to eat, she can still eat stir-fried meat slices and green vegetables.

Surprisingly, this guy actually enjoyed eating it quite a bit.

It's a bit too hellish.

"I know, your roast chicken is definitely one of the best." Qingyi gave Lin Muran a thumbs up.

"Why do I feel like you are scolding me?"

"No, no, you really know how to cook chicken."

"Big Brother is the real deal when it comes to roast chicken," Emperor Roar said happily.

"You two should just eat your meal."

"have to."

Lin Muran didn't expect that Qingyi was not only a first-rate pianist, but also a skilled talker. In order to avoid turning himself into a roasted chicken while talking, he told Qingyi to shut up and eat her food.

Without realizing it, Lin Muran glanced at Bai Mengqing, who was sitting on the short side of the dragon, and noticed something was wrong. Almost seven or eight minutes had passed since the meal started, and the rice in front of her had only decreased by one centimeter.

Normally, she would have already eaten seven or eight bowls of rice by this time.

"Not to your liking?"

"No, no, I was just a little curious."

Bai Mengqing snapped out of her daze and quickly shook her head, pointing to the dark-colored object in the middle of the four dishes, and asked, "What is this?"

Yun Yifei coldly replied, "Fried noodles."

"Fried noodles?"

"Yes, try this new recipe." Only then did Lin Muran realize that her brain had been subconsciously ignoring the "charcoal block" in the very center.

"It's not good to eat carbs before we've finished the main course."

"Then I'll just try a little."

Yun Yifei's expression was cold, but there was a strange expectation in her eyes when she looked at Lin Muran, which forced him to pick up a piece and take a bite. Then he silently put down his chopsticks: "Not bad for the first time."

"real or fake?"

Qingyi curiously picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. Suddenly, her whole body stiffened, and the last feather on her ponytail hair ornament fell away.

It wasn't until Bai Mengqing waved her paw in front of her that she came to her senses: "This fried noodle is absolutely amazing!"

Seeing that both of them reacted this way, Bai Mengqing, who had originally wanted to try it, decided to finish the food in her bowl first.

It's too early for her to challenge the world of bizarre cuisine.

Yun Yifei also realized her failure. She had originally planned to show off her skills in front of Lin Muran, to broaden his horizons, and to intimidate Bai Mengqing, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this.

We can't let Bai Mengqing and Master Qing see this and make a fool of ourselves.

She gritted her teeth, determined to finish the "defective products" herself, but to her surprise, Lin Muran and Xia Li each took one and five portions of the remaining charcoal. "Eating so much instant noodles, be careful you won't lose weight."

"You don't need to tell me."

Yun Yifei was a little afraid to meet Lin Muran's gaze, and could only argue a couple of times before turning her attention to Xia Li, who was gnawing on a piece of noodles with her hands: "Don't you think it tastes bad?"

"It tastes good," Emperor Roar praised.

Xia Li's tone remained unchanged, as if she were crunching on a Want Want rice cracker.

"No wonder it's a spirit beast that can be a younger sister."

Yun Yifei was overjoyed. If she weren't incapable of doing housework, she would have loved to take Xia Li back to her dormitory and raise her herself.

It's not as delicate as a cat, but it can provide even higher emotional value than a cat.

This spirit beast is simply the dream beast of my imagination.

"As long as Big Sister is happy," Di Hou said happily. After finishing the charcoal, Xia Li focused on eating rice again.

Seeing Lin Muran break the charcoal into pieces and eat it bit by bit, Bai Mengqing felt a flutter in her heart.

Lin Muran can actually eat that kind of thing?
It was simply because it was a dish made by her sister.
If I made it like that, would he eat it? But I'm not his sister.
She suddenly felt an urge to show off her skills at the stove.

After a satisfying meal, Qingyi noticed that Bai Mengqing was staring at the plate where the "charcoal" had been completely eaten and kept shoveling rice into her mouth. Suddenly realizing something, she said to Yun Yifei, "But I really didn't expect that you, Xiaoyun, are actually Lin Muran's older sister."

She curiously compared Yun Yifei and Lin Muran, and sighed, "Is it fate, or is the world just too small?"

"She's just my sworn sister." Yun Yifei spoke in a calm tone, but her response was remarkably quick.

Not her biological sister?!

Bai Mengqing and Xia Li raised their heads almost simultaneously and looked at Yun Yifei and Lin Muran.

Qingyi was also a little curious. "You two have become sworn brothers?"

She found it hard to imagine how a girl like Yun Yifei, who was unapproachable, could become sworn siblings with Lin Muran, who was resistant to force and only responded to gentle persuasion.

“We are a blended family, and we have lived together since we were little.”

Seeing the curiosity almost overflowing in the three pairs of eyes, Lin Muran could only give a brief explanation while also explaining the concept of a blended family to the three spirit beasts.

"Oh, no wonder you two don't act like siblings."

"Really?"

"Uh, a little bit."

Qingyi hadn't expected Yun Yifei to react so strongly, so she had to slightly modify her words, afraid that she might say something that would damage the siblings' relationship.

"."

Hearing that it was only a little bit, Yun Yifei was somewhat disappointed.

Bai Mengqing breathed a sigh of relief, after all, she was really acting as an older sister, and probably didn't intend to do anything improper under the guise of being an older sister.

"With so many spirit beasts, is the income enough?" Yun Yifei asked, her eyes sweeping over the three spirit beasts.

Although the spirit beasts have no identity and don't have to worry about the three great mountains, their daily expenses are still not a small amount.

Lin Muran's account is still on the rise, and in order to maintain its reputation, it is impossible for him to take on too many commercial orders in one month. Moreover, the type of video he makes does not support him doing so many orders in one month.

"If I can do four or five orders a month, I can barely make ends meet."

Lin Muran's video commercial orders are generally priced at around 10,000 yuan, which is basically enough for her to live on even after tax.

Has it become the norm?

"No, we're planning to add more orders to the new series." Lin Muran shrugged.

No matter how much the production cycle of "Monster Musings" is compressed, it still takes about a week to complete. Moreover, due to workflow and equipment issues, the efficiency of the work is actually quite low in many cases.

Therefore, a new series that is both easy to understand and appealing to fans is very necessary.

The problem is that the new series must meet the viewing needs of most of the old fans while expanding outwards as much as possible, which is what is known as expanding the fanbase.

But he had no idea what to do yet.

"I think you can arrange for me to read the comments," Yun Yifei said calmly.

"Reading comments?"

Lin Muran frowned: "Making the comments read in a way that looks good and fits the channel's style is a skill in itself; just making low-quality videos is meaningless."

The account he created was a monster expert account, not Lin Muran's personal IP. If he only read comments, it would only have side effects. However, if he wanted to make it into an animation, he would need to come up with additional ideas, which could potentially affect the update schedule of the main series.

That would deviate from the original intention of utilizing excess productivity.

"Why don't you just let the audience come up with the questions?"

Yun Yifei glanced at Bai Mengqing and said, "I've seen your account. It's all about abstract and borderline styles. If you want to create a good show, it's always a good idea to choose from the audience."

Because the audience doesn't think from the perspective of Shen He or the creative process, their divergent thinking naturally has no fixed pattern.

A controversial statement might just elicit a laugh in the comments section, but when it's shown in a video, it becomes a truly explosive statement.

"The audience is choosing the topic? Thinking about it from that angle is fine. Wait a minute!!"

Lin Muran muttered a few words, but quickly realized something was off about Yun Yifei's words: "You...you've seen my account!?"

"Goo!"

Yun Yifei realized she had let something slip, so she could only stubbornly say, "I saw your profile on the big data before. I heard your voice sounded similar, so I clicked to take a look."

"You read it all?"

"I read them all."

It was bad enough that my cold-hearted older sister saw the suggestive videos I made online.

Most importantly, all the products he promotes are the Holy Grail.

"I suddenly want to quit the internet." Lin Muran felt that her already shaky face had become even more shaky.

"You did a great job."

To avoid revealing that she had been following Lin Muran for some time, Yun Yifei could only offer a casual compliment.
After all, if his younger brother knew that he had been secretly watching him all along, he would definitely be considered a sissy, and the relationship would be over.

"So you don't object anymore?" Lin Muran asked hesitantly.

“Most people are results-oriented.” Yun Yifei’s expression remained unchanged, but her fingers couldn’t help scraping back and forth on her skirt.

"You're capable of supporting yourself, so why should I oppose you?"

"That's good"

Lin Muran breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that the female boss would criticize him severely for making money online by skirting the edges of legality, just like a parent would, but he didn't expect her to agree so easily.

"However, for the sake of your account, I will take a look at your workflow and your business contracts starting tomorrow."

“That’s easy, that’s easy.” Lin Muran knew that Yun Yifei was the head of account operations at a new media company. If she could help with this, it would definitely be the icing on the cake for the Monster Expert account.

"Okay, then get ready to start tomorrow."

"have to."

Bai Mengqing couldn't understand what Lin Muran and Yun Yifei were saying at all. She was unhappy to see the two of them chatting so happily, so she secretly went up to Qingyi and asked, "Lord Siming, what were they just saying in their gibberish?"
