Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　It must be said that Xiankui's house is really quite big.

　While it's not exactly outrageous... after all, Cong Yu and his group had seen the mansions of the four major families of Fengdu.

　In contrast, Xiankui lives alone.

　The house was merely a large courtyard within the Bright Moon Immortal Sect. But since it was a "large courtyard," it was obviously quite large.

　Moreover, compared to those family mansions...

　It seems a bit too "cold" here.

　It can be completely cold

　The area was described as "clean" in two words, and the number of hired workers was not large, so they were rarely seen.

　Garden rockery, bamboo grove and greenery.

　Apart from a stone table and chairs, a cushion and teacups... that's all you see at a glance, nothing else.

　It looks exactly like the kind of place used for quiet cultivation in some fantasy drama.

　Unfortunately, because there was no one there at all, it was strangely a little scary.

　"Wow, how scary! I feel like a female ghost in white might jump out from any corner at any moment!"

　Yaochuan Guang couldn't help but scare everyone like that, and... apart from Lantian Zhu, who was naturally afraid of ghosts, no one else reacted.

　Including Yaochuan Guang himself, they had no respect for ghosts or monsters... because they were powerful enough.

　A white-clad female ghost jumps out?

　Okay, let her come then.

　Let her know that my Jormungandr/Pix/Takemikaze/Crimson Crystal/Moonblade are not to be trifled with.

　"This... is where you live, Immortal Kui?"

　Looking around, Yaochuan Guang followed Xian Kui, who was leading the way to the kitchen, and exclaimed, "So you're some kind of reclusive master... like an old man with white hair."

　A reclusive master? A white-haired old man.

　Xian Kui felt somewhat innocent...

　Although she looks older than the magical girl from Japan, she's not some white-haired old man, is she?

　She is still young, she is still young.

　However, compared to this, Xian Kui was more worried about something else at the moment, namely Yao Chuan Guang's statement that she wanted to use the kitchen (to demonstrate her skills).

　According to Yao Chuanguang herself, she has absolutely no idea how to cook Chinese cuisine... in other words, she's a complete novice.

　Even with his mastery of other cuisines, which allowed him to apply his knowledge to other dishes, Xian Kui was still worried about dinner tonight.

　With these thoughts in mind, Xian Kui looked at the kitchen behind him with some worry, and then saw Cong Yu and the others slowly coming out.

　Only the child named Yaochuan Guang remained in the kitchen.

　W-what happened? What's wrong?

　In response to Xian Kui's hesitation, Cong Yu simply said, "She doesn't like being watched while she's cooking, so she pushed us out."

　Thinking this, Cong Yu looked at the crows perched on the branches in the courtyard...

　He was somewhat apprehensive about the quality of the dishes that Yaochuan Guang would serve, and he always felt that he would be poisoned to death, and then have his corpse eaten by this crow.

　Yaochuan Guang, I hope you'll show mercy.

　Seemingly sensing Cong Yu's devotion, Xiao Cui coughed lightly: "Ahem... It seems that Sister Yao Chuan is quite skilled."

　As she said this, a green light flickered in one of Xiao Cui's eyes... This proved that she was spying.

　Well, using the word "peeping" might seem a bit lewd and doesn't quite fit Xiao Cui's cuteness.

　So to be more precise...

　Xiao Cui was using a little elf hiding in some corner to secretly peek at Yao Chuan Guang who was cooking.

　This is what is called "watching secretly".

　"Yaochuan's sister is holding her phone, and it looks like she's looking for videos related to the food in the refrigerator... No wonder she won't let us watch them."

　As Xiao Cui followed the others, guided by Xian Kui to familiarize herself with the route, she simultaneously broadcast live: "Sister Yao Chuan is making something I don't recognize either. But it looks pretty good in the video, and then..."

　Cong Yu and Xian Kui felt a little relieved after hearing Xiao Cui's words, and felt at ease.

　If Yaochuan had simply followed the instructions in the video step by step, he would never have made food so bad it was almost unbearable.

　Thinking this, Cong Yu stepped across the marble steps on the lawn in the courtyard, glancing at the crows...

　The other party didn't seem to want to eat its own rotting corpse anymore.

　(Crow: Baka yarou! Can I even bite that?)

　"..." Lan Tianzhu silently looked at Xian Kui and Cong Yu, who were relieved, and didn't quite understand their reaction: "I've been wanting to ask this since just now."

　Saying this so casually, Lan Tianzhu tilted his head and said, "Xiao Guangming can obviously cook, is there any need for him to go in and give instructions?"

　Indeed, Hikaru Yokawa definitely knows how to cook.

　But Chinese cuisine is quite different...

　"I have a friend."

　To explain this, Cong Yu began to speak quietly... and this was not something made up, but a genuine friend.

　"She can cook, but only dishes like potato stew, which are potato stew with fish and potato stew with radishes."

　"Once, I asked her to grill fish..."

　As Cong Yu spoke, her eyes flickered as she recalled a disgusting meal from the distant past: "Then we passed out."

　The logic in this description, from "I made her grill fish" to "we were unconscious," is quite fragmented.

　However, it was enough to make those present feel the horror.

　"That's when I realized that someone who is familiar with one type of dish is not necessarily good at another..."

　"Although many Japanese dishes are derived from Chinese cuisine, there are just too many Chinese dishes, so I have some concerns."

　Cong Yu said this, then showed a relieved expression: "However, since Yao Chuan Guang can do it, then there shouldn't be much of a problem, right..."

　Regarding Congyu's words, Jianyu

　Lei silently clasped his hands together and prayed, "Amitabha, may Inari Daimyojin protect me."

　(Tamamo: Meow?)

　"..." Strikes a church pose, chants Amitabha, hoping the fox god, whose divine function is food, will bless you...

　There's nothing wrong with praying to the god of food.

　But if I were God, I certainly wouldn't bless you.

　-

　After Yaochuan Guang slowly completed the synthesis of dinner by referring to the synthesis table, the food served looked quite normal.

　Whether it's the "chicken soup" that says "Haha, here comes the chicken soup," or the bright red Mapo Tofu that you learned from watching some video, they are both perfectly normal foods.

　It's safe to say that when Japanese people talk about Chinese cuisine, Mapo Tofu is definitely something they can't avoid, so it's normal for Yaochuan Guang to want to make it.

　Thankfully, they didn't serve General Tso's chicken and fortune cookies.

　However, even normal food might have some unusual aspects... So, are there any?

　Yes, it is exceptionally delicious.

　"It's delicious, almost as good as Cong Yu's cooking."

　As Hong spoke, she revealed that she had eaten Cong Yu's cooking before.

　"Oh, it's delicious!"

　Xiao Cui cheered.

　“Amam Amam—”

　Kenjiro sat in his seat, eating voraciously with a napkin around his neck... He also knew how to use a knife and fork, otherwise he probably wouldn't even be qualified to sit at the table.

　Of course, he himself doesn't mind eating on the ground.

　After all, when he used to sleep in the park, the people who fed him would put him on the ground or on a chair.

　"As expected of Xiaoguang, I want to eat Xiaoguang's cooking for the rest of my life, even after Xiaoguang gets married."

　Lan Tianzhu praised him in this way while silently carrying out her "mysterious plan," which was a plan of subtle influence.

　Of course, the only part of the plan that Yaochuan Guang himself hadn't discovered was...

　But anyway...

　Yao Chuanguang's first experience with Chinese cuisine ended quite satisfactorily!

　Right?

　-

　"Quack! It's so spicy! So spicy! So spicy!"

　Xiao Cui wailed.

　"..." Lan Tianzhu was already unconscious.

　"Aba aba—"

　Kenjiro was stunned, drooling.

　"Hmm...indeed, it's super spicy."

　As Yaochuan Guang spoke, he stuck out his tongue and gasped for breath, and the more he looked at it, the more it resembled a... cough cough.

　Yaochuan Guang, his face flushed, searched for water and looked at Xiankui, Congyu, and Teacher Hong, who seemed to be unharmed: "..."

　People who can handle this level of spiciness are terrifying.

　No, she did it exactly as shown in the video, so...

　Are all Chinese people monsters?

　Chapter 677 The Immortal King Actually Works 9 to 5

　Yaochuan Guang has awakened... not that she has awakened or anything like that, but that she has awakened.

　To put it simply, she woke up from her sleep.

　Half asleep, Yaochuan Guang reached out to his left... but found nothing.

　In a hazy, half-awake state, Yaochuan Guang reached out to his right again... but still found nothing.

　Then, Yaochuan Guang, who had been hesitant, slowly opened his eyes.

　Then I immediately saw the chandelier directly above the bed.

　"A strange...unfamiliar ceiling."

　Yao Chuan Guang, who had long wanted to say something like that in novels or anime, fluently uttered the predetermined line.

　Then, as Yaochuan Guang regained consciousness, he realized that he was in Xiankui's house.

　I slept alone last night too.

　Instead of sleeping in a shared bed like at home... I think it was a shared bed?

　(Cong Yu: ???)

　(Cong Yu: That's my bed! That's my bed! Hey!)

　That being said, why do I feel like I was having a dream, and even talking to someone in the dream?

　As Yaochuan Guang thought this, she rubbed her eyes, sat up straight, and pondered carefully about her dream.

　However, his memories were too few; all Yaochuan Guang could confirm was that he seemed to have been dreaming…

　I don't remember anything.

　Just like readers who have never seen this part of the content, they are completely confused.

　"Hehe, well... whatever—"
