Chapter 652

So you're telling me the reward is this thing?

Are you sure the reward you got is a cooking recipe, and not some kind of drug?

"Ahem, daughter, the reward really is this!"

Master Mao saw this and didn't hide it either.

"But... but whose cooking recipe is like this?"

Miss Xiangling still couldn't quite believe it.

What kind of genius came up with this?

"I didn't believe it before either, but if there are glowing dishes already, having this kind of side effect isn't impossible."

Master Mao spread his hands.

Actually, there was one thing he hadn't mentioned.

Compared to the clothes-bursting in the manga, this side effect was simply child's play.

If Miss Xiangling found out, she'd definitely have an existential crisis.

"Fine, I'll come check out that manga tomorrow and find out."

Miss Xiangling shook her head and didn't dwell on it any longer.

The specifics, she'd understand once she read it herself.

"Alright!"

Seeing his daughter's resolute expression, Master Mao hesitated for a moment but didn't stop her.

This manga shop wasn't his anyway.

Stopping her would be useless.

Besides, when the dish was actually made, she'd end up seeing it eventually.

Letting Miss Xiangling experience it herself was fine too.

"Oh right, daughter, what reward did you get?"

Master Mao asked curiously at this point.

From the look of it, that manga should be a Wu Xia type.

Could the reward be some kind of cultivation art?

"Ah... I... my reward!"

Seeing her old man bring up her own matter, Miss Xiangling suddenly felt awkward.

She didn't quite know how to put it.

After all, that cultivation art was a bit special.

Especially when the one asking was your elder.

That made it even more embarrassing.

Seeing his daughter's reaction, Master Mao's interest was piqued.

Since she refused to say, he'd just ask Boss Han instead.

Thinking of this, Master Mao's gaze turned to Han Feng.

"Boss Han, what was Miss Xiangling's reward?"

"The Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, the supreme art of the Gumu Sect, and also the fastest lightness skill under heaven."

Han Feng explained with a light smile.

"That reward's not bad at all! What's there to be embarrassed about saying!"

Master Mao's face was full of pleasant surprise.

He didn't know what the Gumu Sect was.

But since it was a supreme art, and also the fastest lightness skill under heaven.

Then it surely couldn't be bad, right?

Han Feng glanced at Miss Xiangling, saw she had no intention of speaking up, and continued.

"But this art requires a man and a woman to practice in an empty, deserted place, with all their clothes fully opened."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Master Mao's eyes went wide.

This cultivation art actually requires a man and a woman to assist in practice?

And in an empty, deserted place at that?!

Even with all their clothes fully opened?!!

Are you sure this is a proper cultivation art?

Why did he feel it was even weirder than the cooking reward he got?

"Daughter, is what Boss Han said true?"

Master Mao hurriedly looked at Miss Xiangling.

"Mm!"

Miss Xiangling gave a slight nod.

But she also knew this art was a bit special.

So her face looked a little embarrassed.

She was only a 14-year-old girl, after all.

Getting this reward,

was way too thrilling!

"Listen to your old man—don't touch this reward yet, let's wait and see."

After confirming the reward was real, Master Mao hurriedly gave her a warning.

He truly feared she'd grow curious and sneak off to practice it.

He'd worn himself out worrying.

"Don't worry, Old Man—there are so many amazing comics here at Brother Han's, I won't touch it."

Seeing her old man's worried expression, Miss Xiangling found it slightly amusing.

But he'd worried for nothing.

After learning the drawbacks of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, she'd never touch it.

"Old Man, let's go home quickly—I want to try out the reward you got."

"Alright!"

Hearing Miss Xiangling's promise, Master Mao finally relaxed.

The comic shop's rewards were miraculous, but this was too intense.

Someone with a weak heart probably couldn't handle it.

Then the two bowed farewell to Brother Han and left the comic shop.

"Old Man, what's wrong? Did you forget something in the comic shop?"

Miss Xiangling asked as she noticed Master Mao lingering at the shop's entrance.

"No, I'm thinking about your reward.

If we don't use it, it'd be such a waste—it's the fastest lightness skill in the world!"

Master Mao shook his head.

"I'm only fourteen! Even if I use it, I'll have to wait until I'm grown!"

Seeing her old man suddenly change his tone, Miss Xiangling couldn't help but laugh and sigh.

She joked: "You're not thinking of going to Brother Han for advice, are you?"

"No wonder you're my daughter—you think exactly like I do!"

Master Mao slapped his thigh hard, his face alight with excitement.

"Eh? Eh?"

Miss Xiangling blinked, stunned.

I was just joking,

why are you taking it seriously?

Master Mao paid no heed, and began enthusiastically explaining.

"If it were anyone else, I'd never agree.
