Chapter 11: Bone Structure Breakthrough

The many disciples present spoke up one after another to persuade her, all appearing as if they were doing it for Lu Youyou's own good.

However, in reality, everyone's thoughts were the same: one less person eating meant one less mouth, so they could eat more.

Right now, all the disciples who came to the kitchen were, to put it bluntly, competitors.

But to this, Lu Youyou paid no attention. Important matters? What could be more important than her eating? What's more, today was Junior Brother Changqing's new dish; the taste of that stir-fried meat made Lu Youyou drool even now.

Therefore, even if the sky fell, she had to eat this meal first.

"Senior Sister, I'll go back after I finish eating."

She looked at Liu Shuang without the slightest hesitation. Hearing this, Liu Shuang was speechless. This little junior sister used to be very obedient; how could she dare to disobey the Master's orders now?

Just for a bite of food? Could the food here really be that delicious?

She looked suspiciously at Ye Changqing and that large basin of stir-fried meat. It was indeed fragrant.

"Fine, in that case, I'll stay with you until you finish, and we'll go back together."

Her appetite was whetted, but Liu Shuang was too embarrassed to show it, so she said with a feigned calm.

Hearing this, the crowd didn't speak, and Lu Youyou replied,

"That's fine, but Senior Sister, you have to line up."

"What?"

Hearing that she had to line up, Liu Shuang was stunned. She was an inner disciple; did she really have to line up to eat at the kitchen?

She looked at Lu Youyou with disbelief, and to this, Lu Youyou said frankly,

"Yes, this is the kitchen's rule. Regardless of status, everyone has to line up."

Hearing this, Liu Shuang looked at the others present. Although they didn't dare to speak, they nodded obediently—yes, you have to line up to eat.

Seeing this, Liu Shuang began to doubt her life.

"Senior Sister, if you don't hurry, there won't be any food left later."

"You..."

Under Lu Youyou's reminder, Liu Shuang finally went to the back of the line outside the courtyard and waited.

As mealtime arrived, Lu Youyou was the first to get her food, then she scooped a large spoonful of stir-fried meat over the rice and began to eat happily.

Ye Changqing sat at the kitchen door; he didn't need to serve the food himself, as everyone helped themselves.

Each disciple carried a large bowl full of rice, and even the female disciples were no exception, with their bowls piled even higher than the men's.

Facing this scene, Liu Shuang was completely dumbfounded. Had the lives of these chore disciples become this miserable?

Although the Dao One Sect didn't pay much attention to chore disciples, there was no withholding of food. ===== CHAPTER 21 =====

Cultivation resources might be scarce, but filling their stomachs shouldn't be a problem, right?

But why did these people look like starving ghosts reincarnated?

She didn't doubt that it was only because the bowls were small; otherwise, they would have added more.

After finally waiting for her turn, Liu Shuang followed suit and served a bowl of rice, then scooped a spoonful of stir-fried meat.

Compared to the others, Liu Shuang's portion seemed very normal. Although it smelled very fragrant, she only added half a bowl.

It didn't look like much.

Coming to Lu Youyou's side, Lu Youyou, who was eating until her mouth was oily, saw that her Second Senior Sister had only served such a small amount and asked in confusion,

"Second Senior Sister, are you only eating this much?"

"I've already reached Grain Grain Bigu. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be eating today."

To this, Liu Shuang said lightly, while Lu Youyou wore the expression of someone who had been there before.

"Senior Sister, believe me, you will regret it immediately."

Regret? Just kidding, she was the dignified Second Senior Sister of Divine Sword Peak; would she regret it? And because of a meal?

Unconvinced, she took a bite of rice into her mouth. The rice mixed with the meat slices and meat juices—the taste was simply overbearing to the extreme.

With just one bite, Liu Shuang stood frozen in place.

Delicious, it was truly too delicious. In an instant, it felt as if her soul had been sublimated.

Next, Liu Shuang instantly transformed into a bottomless pit. The speed at which she shoveled rice was even faster than Lu Youyou's.

The rice, which hadn't been much to begin with, was finished in a few bites.

Seeing this, Lu Youyou on the side smiled. She had said long ago that Second Senior Sister would definitely regret it; now she knew, right?

She walked to the large table outside the kitchen in three steps, but by then, the food had already been finished.

"It's gone?"

Looking at the empty rice bucket before her with eyes about to pop out, Liu Shuang asked.

"It's gone."

Hearing this, Ye Changqing nodded. These guys were truly capable of eating; one person would eat at least two people's worth of food.

As for Liu Shuang, she seemed to have a normal appetite.

But Ye Changqing clearly didn't know that at this moment, Liu Shuang's intestines were practically turning green with regret, and she finally understood what Lu Youyou meant by saying she would regret it.

Were these people pigs? Such a large bucket of rice, and it was gone just like that?

She looked pitifully at Ye Changqing, no longer having any of her previous cold and aloof demeanor. But to this, Ye Changqing was also helpless.

"Senior Sister, don't look at me like that. Even if I wanted to make more, it's too late now. How about tonight? Come earlier tonight."

She returned to Lu Youyou's side in disappointment. By now, Lu Youyou had finished eating, and she looked at Liu Shuang with a smile, saying,

"How was it, Senior Sister? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"Don't even mention it. Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I did tell you, Senior Sister."

"You..."

Liu Shuang was incredibly depressed. In the end, it was only after Lu Youyou kept comforting her that she slowly recovered.

After the two women washed the bowls and cleaned up, they agreed to come back in the afternoon before leaving the kitchen.

The many disciples left, and Lu Youyou also left, leaving Ye Changqing alone in the courtyard again.

The system's notification sound rang out immediately.

[Host received one positive review, reward: Talent +1, Cultivation +1]

[Host received one positive review, reward: Bone Structure +1, Cultivation +1]

[Host received one positive review, reward: Physique +1, Cultivation +1]

"Open panel."

[Host: Ye Changqing.]

[Identity: Dao One Sect chore disciple.]

[Cultivation: Body Refining realm minor success (146/200)]

[Fame: Obscure.]

[Talent: Low-grade high-tier (36/100)]

[Bone Structure: Mid-grade low-tier (2/1000)]

[Comprehension: High-grade mid-tier (69/100000)]

With his bone structure breaking through to mid-grade, Ye Changqing felt a heat in his body, and an indescribable change occurred within him.

The improvement in grade was a fundamental change. A mid-grade bone structure, while not counting for much in the Dao One Sect, was already considered medium-tier if placed in other sects.

Feeling the changes brought by the breakthrough in bone structure, Ye Changqing muttered to himself,

"Let's cultivate for a bit."

Half an hour of hard cultivation, and the efficiency was much faster than before. If his talent could also be improved to mid-grade, it would be even faster, but that was only a matter of time.

"Alright, not bad. Next, nap time."

The path of cultivation requires a balance of tension and relaxation; Ye Changqing understood this very well. After half an hour of hard cultivation, he had to rest well, otherwise, damaging his foundation would be a loss that outweighed the gain.

On the other side, Lu Youyou and Liu Shuang had also returned to the summit and met their master, the Wine Sword Hong Zun. ===== CHAPTER 22 =====
