Chapter 58: Are You on The Menu?
Translator: Sissy That Walk
What came to their sight was a big mess, the two rushed to their ladies.
Su Liancheng ran towards Murong Xue, he knew she would be the one left. All jokes aside, thank God Su Liancheng came to Murong Xue in the fire.
A lot of the kitchenware and cookware were on fire, it was pretty bad.
Luo Qianqian who was in charge of starting the fire, out of the three girls, suffered the most.
Here was what happened.
Tong’er meant to get some water to clean the wot, but she knocked over a jar of oil on the table and the whole table was on fire.
Tong’er was stupefied on the spot when she accidentally started the fire, she couldn’t believe what she was seeing.
Murong Xue who was carrying a wot to fetch some vegetables also was in shock, she tried to run to check Tong’er and her sister-in-law and tripped, the wot flew into the sky and landed on the floor with a bang.
Well, we gotta give credit where the credit was due, the ironsmith of the wot did a pretty good job, the wot was still intact after the trail.
Amid that chaos, the three ladies surprisingly shared the same facial expression, they looked embarrassed and lost.
And that was when Murong Yun and Master Lingtian broke in, and a few seconds later Su Liancheng followed them in.
Murong Yun carried Luo Qianqian in his arms, seeing how scared Luo Qianqian was, Murong Yun meant to instill Internal Chi to Luo Qianqian without thinking.
Feeling the warmth from Murong Yun’s palms, Luo Qianqian knew what was going on, she caught hold of Murong Yun’s hand and said, “Murong Yun, stop, I am perfectly fine.”
Luo Qianqian now looked like drowned little mouse, her gown all crumpled, her face scarlet red with fear, her hands covered with charcoal.
But luckily she was not injured or anything, she was just not yet recovered from the fright.
Her eyes though, her eyes were sparking even more than ever.
Resting in Murong Yun’s arms, Luo Qianqian felt so embarrassed, she pushed Murong Yun and said, “Please out me down.”
Hearing that, Murong Yun frowned, Luo Qianqian continued, “I’m sorry I’ve soiled your clothes.”
‘Is that the problem now?’ thought Murong Yun.
Since when he cared about his clothes getting soiled since he met her.
“That’s fine, don’t worry.” Murong Yun produced a hankerchief from his sleeve and wiped Luo Qianqian’s face with great gentleness.
Forehead, cheeks, chin.
Tong’er was the “chef”, her heart still fluttering with fear, she was now resting on Master Lingtian’s arms.
She also looked defeated, her hair messy, her face crumpled with despair, her eye red from the heavy smoke.
“Lingtian, I am so sorry, I’m just so clumsy… …” apologized Tong’er, she felt so useless at the moment that she didn’t deserve such a perfect man like Lingtian.
Coming from a humble origin, Tong’er was sold to a brothel when she was in her teens, Master Lingtian saved her from the pimp.
The two grew fondness on each other as they roamed freely all over the world, however, Tong’er always felt she didn’t deserve such a perfect man.
Master Lingtian knew what Tong’er had been thinking, so he had always been doing whatever he could to reassure Tong’er.
Master Lingtian now was holding Tong’er’s hand and comforting her gently, Master Lingtian always appeared as an otherworldly figure when he was alone, seeing how affectionate he was when he was spending time with Tong’er, people started to believe that Master Lingtian was actually a human being.
“Tong’er, what are you doing in the kitchen? You have just recovered after all.”
“I just want to cook you a nice meal.” was the reply.
“Tong’er, thank you for being so considerate, but what you and I need now is to make sure your recovering is on the right track, we can cook together when you are actually feeling better, does that sound good?”
“Thank you, Lingtian.”
As for Murong Xue… …
Our Princess Eleventh was scared stiff, she was now clinging on Su Liancheng like a koala bear with her eyes shut, “Are we safe now? That was some fire in the kitchen!”
To be fair, that was indeed a traumatic first cooking experience for Murong Xue. Su Liancheng patted on her back, “Xue, there there, we are safe now. I get it, you are scared, but my good sister, can you jump out from me first?”
Hearing that, Murong Xue opened her eyes and jumped out from Su Liancheng’s arms, she unleashed her anger and fear on Su Liancheng, “What’s the big deal? I just went through a fire, can I get some love and care?”
Su Liancheng felt so wronged, he pointed at the love birds Murong Yun and Luo Qianqian, “Xue, come on now, let’s get something straight now, I’m the one who went to the fire and saved you, look at your brother, all he could think about is your sister-in-law! And you are accusing me of not giving you love and care?”
Murong Xue knew what Su Liancheng said was true, but she was not jealous, “Brother Liancheng, I know what you are up to, but I only feel happy for my sister-in-law, isn’t it an unalterable principle that a man should put his lady first?”
In retrospect Murong Xue felt like she indeed owe some acknowledgement to Su Liancheng, “Aiya, Brother Liancheng, I know you are nice to me, thank you so much for saving my life. Now put on a smile for me, Miss Thing.”
“Miss Thing?”
Su Liancheng had never won one single duel of words with Murong Xue, yeah, just as the saying went, “Everything has its vanquisher”.
The three ladies felt mollified soon, Tong’er found some garments to share with Luo Qianqian and Murong Xue.
The outfits were slightly a bit baggy for Luo Qianqian for she had a smaller built due to her miserable childhood, but the ill-fitting garment didn’t compromise her beauty a single bit.
Feng Qing had asked the tavern to cook them some nice dishes while the ladies were getting changed and dolled up, Murong Yun and Master Lingtian exchanged a look subtly, they reached an agreement, “The two ladies are not chef materials.”
Soon Feng Qing came back with a feast for the ladies.
“What? You are not going to join us?” asked the ladies in unison.
Murong Yun sat next to Luo Qianqian and whispered at her ear, “I’m only going to eat if you are on the menu.”
Luo Qianqian flushed crimson.
‘Has Murong Yun been learning how to flirt? What should I do? I’m not sure how long can I manage this poker face.’
