Because at this moment, she was holding a naginata.

And beneath the naginata lay a stove that had already been shattered into pieces.

Jiang Yan helplessly patted his forehead.

"You all... how did you manage to blow up the kitchen just while cooking?"

Jiang Yan's voice reached the ears of the four, and instantly, the four of them seemed to come alive, their bodies all trembling.

They turned their heads, and their soot-blackened beautiful faces nearly made Jiang Yan unable to maintain his serious expression.

To be honest, the appearance of these four was as ridiculous as it could possibly be.

Lei Dianying hurriedly retracted her naginata, about to say something, but then heard Jiang Yan say:

"Don't move!"

The four stopped their movements, their soot-blackened beautiful faces all looking at Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan raised his hand, and then the Time Gem in his hand suddenly lit up.

Accompanied by a green luminescence appearing in Jiang Yan's hand, immediately afterward, the light filled the entire room.

In just a moment, a brand-new kitchen appeared before everyone's eyes.

Including Raiden Makoto and Lei Dianying and the other four, they all returned to their previous clean and white appearance.

"Hmm, this looks much more pleasing to the eye."

Jiang Yan clapped his hands and said with a smile:

"Really, how did cooking a meal create such a huge commotion?"

Jiang Yan came before the four and looked curiously at their backs.

(abbh) "What dish were you trying to make?"

Hearing Jiang Yan's teasing voice, the four women almost simultaneously blushed; Raiden Makoto, Lei Dianying, and Yae Miko's beautiful faces turned slightly red, looking somewhat shy.

And Yae Miko simply rolled her eyes very decisively and said:

"You should ask our Ei about this question properly; I'll go take a shower first."

After finishing, she walked out quickly.

Although Jiang Yan had already used the Time Gem to restore their bodies to their previous state, unsoiled by smoke, Yae Miko still felt somewhat awkward in her heart.

And Lei Dianying lowered her head.

"I... I just wanted to help..."

Seeing Lei Dianying's aggrieved little appearance, Jiang Yan sighed lightly.

Then, he patted Lei Dianying's head, comforted her for a while, and then said to the other three:

"You all go upstairs and wait first; I'll cook the meal."

"This..."

Raiden Makoto wanted to stay and help, but was directly refused by Jiang Yan.

"Alright, I'm not angry with you; go upstairs, go upstairs, just leave the cooking to me."

Jiang Yan said with a smile to the three people before him.

In the end, Raiden Makoto and the other two women could not go against Jiang Yan and prepared to go upstairs to accompany Little Ganyu.

But before Lei Dianying left, she was called aside by Jiang Yan alone.

"Hmm... Ei, you stay behind; give me a hand."

Seeing Ei's somewhat disappointed appearance, Jiang Yan's heart finally softened.

"Eh?"

Lei Dianying was stunned and looked at Jiang Yan.

"B-but I just..."

"It's fine; it's just that you don't know how to cook."

"Just this time, learn by my side."

Jiang Yan spoke in a gentle tone.

Seeing Jiang Yan's smiling appearance, Lei Dianying's heart fluttered slightly.

"Go ahead, Ei."

Raiden Makoto lightly patted Lei Dianying.

She could see that Ei really wanted to stay with Jiang Yan.

And Yae Miko also looked at her with an encouraging gaze.

In the end, Raiden Makoto looked at Jiang Yan and nodded firmly.

"Okay!"

After Raiden Makoto and Yae Miko left the kitchen, Jiang Yan and Lei Dianying began preparing the ingredients.

"Hmm... let me see; first, let's make Stir-fried Jueyun Chili with Bird Eggs."

Jiang Yan glanced at the ingredients before him and finally decided that since Lei Dianying was still learning, he should start with the simplest stir-fry dish.

Stir-fried Jueyun Chili with Bird Eggs, commonly known: Stir-fried Chili with Eggs!

This surely can't be considered very difficult, right?

Just chop the Jueyun Chilies, beat the Bird Eggs, stir-fry them together, add some salt, and it's ready to serve.

Ei surely wouldn't fail to learn even this level of stir-fry, would she?

But Jiang Yan ultimately underestimated Lei Dianying's ability.

Looking at the whole Jueyun Chilies and the unshelled Bird Eggs in the pot, Jiang Yan fell into deep thought.

This dish...

How should I put it? It's not exactly chili stir-fried with eggs.

It does use two ingredients: Jueyun Chili Peppers and bird eggs.

But if you say it is...

... it seems you just can't eat it like that, hey!

Who stir-fries bird eggs with the shells on?

"Hmm... is there or isn't there? Ah Ying, don't misunderstand. What you're doing now isn't exactly wrong, I'm just saying, is there a possibility..."

Jiang Yan paused.

"This thing needs to be stir-fried; you have to chop these ingredients into pieces."

Jiang Yan could be said to be teaching Lei Dianying to cook with extreme patience.

But the moment Jiang Yan asked to chop the ingredients and Lei Dianying immediately pulled out her Naginata, Jiang Yan still broke down.

Chopping vegetables with a Naginata?

The shock value was no less than using the Imperial Seal to crack walnuts.

Let's just say, isn't using a Naginata to cut vegetables a bit of an excessive misuse of a great tool?

What would those Archons who died by your blade think?

"Stop! Stop! Put the Naginata away!"

Seeing Lei Dianying about to split the stove in half with her Naginata again, Jiang Yan hurriedly stopped this behavior.

Then he raised his hand, and the Reality Stone lit up.

A brand-new, gleaming cleaver appeared in his hand.

"Here, use this."

Jiang Yan handed the cleaver to Lei Dianying.

Lei Dianying sheathed her Naginata and looked at the cleaver Jiang Yan had handed her.

"So short... the Naginata feels more natural..."

Lei Dianying's voice was full of disdain.

Jiang Yan was speechless.

That's true; compared to your Naginata, which is like a spear, this cleaver is indeed a bit short.

Jiang Yan could understand Lei Dianying's thoughts, but using a Naginata to cook was truly too much.

Afterwards, under Jiang Yan's careful instruction, he even taught Lei Dianying how to chop vegetables hand-in-hand.

"The grip is wrong. A cleaver is not a Naginata; your fingers are placed incorrectly. It should be done like this."
