Chapter 56: Ye Xiuxiu Cooks

Mom, let me cook today!

Ye Xiuxiu said with a full smile,

while speaking she also revealed two cute little tiger teeth,

giggling nonstop.

Sure!

Bai Qingsia readily replied,

She looked at her sensible, well-behaved daughter before her, her heart full of relief and joy.

Since Xiuxiu wanted a chance to show off her cooking skills,

as her mother she naturally would give her full support.

Besides, Xiuxiu has always been clever and quick-witted,

and she often watches me cook,

and now she's grown up quite a bit,

I think making a meal shouldn't be too hard for her.

However, Bai Qingsia secretly made up her mind,

no matter how the dishes Ye Xiuxiu makes turn out,

even if they might not be very tasty,

I will definitely eat it all and praise it as delicious.

After all, this is my precious daughter's first time cooking herself,

I can't dampen her enthusiasm.

After receiving her mother's consent,

Ye Xiuxiu happily nodded,

then she darted into the kitchen like a happy little rabbit.

Upon entering the kitchen, she recalled the scenes of her mother usually cooking,

the familiar steps and actions constantly surfaced in her mind.

Mom's specialty seems to be stewing soup...

Ye Xiuxiu murmured softly, thinking to herself.

So she decided to first try making a soup herself.

She then proceeded in an orderly manner:

First, she took out a sand pot from the cabinet and carefully placed it on the stove;

next, she skillfully lit the fire and turned it up to high;

then, following the order from memory, she added various fresh ingredients, appropriate amounts of seasoning, and water, etc.;

After doing that,

only the final step remained—patiently waiting!

Ye Xiuxiu made the soup according to the steps she had planned.

Finally, she waited expectantly beside the stove,

her eyes fixed on the bubbling, rolling soup in the pot, feeling both nervous and excited.

The roaring flames kept rising,

the scorching tongues of flame almost licked her body,

but astonishingly,

she felt no heat from the flames at all.

After nearly a year of relentless practice of the Military Body Fist Body Refining Technique, her physique had greatly improved.

Now, relying solely on ordinary mortal strength,

it's already difficult to inflict any substantive harm on her.

Hmm... this flame's intensity seems still a bit insufficient.

Ye Xiuxiu thought to herself,

then without hesitation she increased the fire again!

Moreover, this increase wasn't an ordinary one,

but a super doubling!

She directly used Spiritual Energy Flame,

as the fire grew fiercer,

what was originally just a slight warmth gradually became noticeable.

Yah, now it's finally getting a bit hot to the touch—this must be what counts as real high heat.

Ye Xiuxiu muttered to herself,

When all the preparations were finished,

she nodded satisfied and covered the sand pot with its lid,

then she cheerfully walked out of the kitchen.

At that moment, a pleasant sound came:

Yo ho~

Bai Qingsia came over smiling,

Xiuxiu, it looks like it's done, right?

Ye Xiuxiu heard her friend's inquiry,

She couldn't help but grin,

She modestly replied:

"Hehe, I can only say it's about the same, but it's still a ways off from truly being finished."

Then she added:

"It still needs to be simmered for about another hour."

"Mom always takes this long to stew soup, so this time I'm completely following Mom's method,"

"I just don't know if the final taste will be as good as Mom's."

After saying that, she turned her head and glanced at the kitchen,

She could already imagine the happy scene of enjoying the delicious soup later.

Bai Qingxia heard this,

A smile instantly blossomed on her face.

She reached out her hand and gently rubbed Ye Xiuxiu's little head,

her eyes full of affection and indulgence, she softly said:

"That's definitely the same, my dear."

Then she gently pinched Ye Xiuxiu's tender cheek,

continued: "My obedient daughter is so clever; the taste you make will surely be on par with Mom's."

"Mom believes you can definitely do it well."

Bai Qingxia smiled and took Ye Xiuxiu's little hand,

"Let's go, we'll head out for a stroll and come back in about an hour."

Ye Xiuxiu obediently nodded and replied:

"Mm-hmm, okay, Mom."

Then she turned her head to look at the Jinhua cat Xiao Jin squatting on the ground nearby,

and cheerfully shouted, "Xiao Jin, hurry up, let's go out and play together!"

Only see that chubby Jinhua cat Xiao Jin hesitantly rose to its feet,

a pair of round, big eyes anxiously glanced toward the inside of the kitchen.

It seemed worried that after it leaves,

something unexpected might happen in the kitchen.

"It's fine, Xiao Jin."

Ye Xiuxiu, seeing this, said, "You still don't trust me? There won't be any problem."

However, Xiao Jin still appeared somewhat uneasy, letting out a weak "meow."

Ye Xiuxiu, seeing Xiao Jin so timid and cautious, couldn't help finding it a bit funny.

She quickened her steps forward, bent down,

and in one motion scooped Xiao Jin tightly into her arms,

then straightened up, turned, and headed out the door,

muttering as she walked, "Hmph, you still don't trust me?"

The Xiao Jin held in her arms continued to meow nonstop,

its voice hinting at a trace of anxiety.

Because the two are linked by the Beast-Taming Ring,

their feelings can be mutually sensed,

therefore,

Just now Ye Xiuxiu just now adjusting the fire while cooking, the Jinhua cat knows it clearly.

The Jinhua cat's heart was extremely anxious at this moment,

it clearly sensed that the fire Ye Xiuxiu just produced was truly astonishing in power.

That was spiritual fire,

can its blaze be the same as ordinary mundane fire?

Don't let it melt the pot.

Don't you know your own body's limits?

You should know that

when you yourself only feel a slight scorching,

the actual temperature is probably already far beyond imagination.

However, the Jinhua cat, despite having thousands of words it wants to express,

is nevertheless helpless,

because it is being tightly held in Ye Xiuxiu's arms,

and is involuntarily following her as she walks outward.

The two people and one cat began to wander aimlessly around the Ye Family Ancestral Land.

They had nothing else particular to do,

they merely occasionally walked to the outside of Ye Qingping's usual cultivation chamber and glanced a few times.

Of course,

they just watched from a distance,

Afraid of disturbing Ye Qingping.

Not only Ye Xiuxiu and the Jinhua cat,

Even Liu Yuesong, Ye Ruyan, and another five family members are all waiting here.
