--- Chapter 119 ---

In Suotuo City's Spirit Hall Branch.

After Yunlong briefly explained to his maids what happened to him in the death fight against Tang Hao, he lazily laid on the couch while they were staring at him with speechless looks.

"So, the earthquakes and storm that hit this place a few minutes ago was the young master..." Chu Yunxi suddenly muttered, to which Yunlong responded with a nod.

"Yeah, that should have happened when our attacks clashed," Yunlong answered while resting his head on the couch, which brought out slight drowsiness in his mind.

He yawned a little and felt really hungry all of a sudden, but then remembered his last words when he was about to confront Tang Hao.

"By the way, where is the soup?" Yunlong suddenly asked, which caused some of his maids to snap out of their thoughts.

Swoosh!

Yu Ning'er flashed like lightning and appeared in front of Yunlong with a warm soup bowl in her hand. "Hehe, taste my soup first, young master." She said with a giggle.

Yunlong slightly laughed and smiled at Yu Ning'er. "Sure." He said.

He took a spoon and gently sipped Yu Ning'er soup, which is more like a beef stew rather than soup, but surprisingly had a light broth.

"This is good, thanks," Yunlong said while patting Yu Ning'er on the head.

"Hehe~." Yu Ning'er cheerfully giggled.

'This sparky rat..! Do you realize that you're grinning like an idiot.' Bai Xue thought with a twitched mouth.

She released a sigh and took her soup, a medicinal soup, and it's very beneficial for Yunlong because it could fastly help him recover his strength.

'It also tastes good.' Bai Xue proudly thought after checking her soup taste a hundred times

"Oh, you also cooked one, Bai Xue?" Yunlong asked while shifting his gaze to Bai Xue's soup, which had an aromatic scent.

Bai Xue nodded her head and answered, "Mm, we had a competition."

"A competition?" Yunlong tilted his head and guessed what happened when he went away.

"Who can cook the best soup!" Bai Xue stated, and the rest of the maids nodded their heads.

They have been cooking for almost one hour, and each of them had finished their soups, except for Chu Yunxi, who somehow always had time to give them advice.

Chu Yunxi didn't really care about who the winner was and only cooked wholeheartedly for Yunlong because as long as he was satisfied, it's good enough for her.

Bai Xue took a spoon and gently scooped her soup, feeding it to Yunlong, who only smiled and gladly tasted her cooking.

"Hmm… This is also good. You cooked it with quite a lot of medicinal herbs, huh." Yunlong said while tasting a very herby taste in his mouth and felt really relaxed afterward.

He also felt the fatigue disappear from his body, which is the effect of Bai Xue's soup.

Bai Xue proudly puffed her bosom and looked at Yu Ning'er with a victorious gaze. 'I'm going to be the winner!' She thought.

Zhu Zhuqing only shrugged her shoulders at Bai Xue and poured a warm fish-based soup for Yunlong. "Open your mouth…" She said while pushing a spoon to him.

Yunlong opened his mouth, and a strong yet soothing flavor immediately hit his taste buds, which is really different from the earlier soups.

"It's at the same level as Yu Ning'er and Bai Xue's soups." He calmly commented, which caused three maids to stare at each other.

"Eh?" Yu Ning'er is slightly shocked because she's sure about winning this competition.

Bai Xue was also baffled by Yunlong's words and looked at her soup with a frown. "I put every ingredient right, so what's the problem?" She muttered.

Zhu Zhuqing quietly stared at Yunlong and nodded her head, sitting beside him and started eating her biscuit because she was not really into the competition in the first place.

'As long as he ate it, it's good for me.' Zhu Zhuqing thought while slightly peeking at Yunlong's face.

The mother and daughter looked at each other for a moment. "You can go first, Xiaoyu." Chu Yunxi said with a gentle smile on her face.

"Mm," Chu Xiaoyu lightly nodded her head.

She walked away for a moment and back with a bowl of soup in her hand, which looked really clear, like it was only ordinary water.

"Clear lotus soup..." Chu Xiaoyu sat on Yunlong's lap and fed him.

"X-Xiaoyu, what are you doing?" Yu Ning'er asked while looking at this scene with a somewhat weird expression.

"Feeding him?" Chu Xiaoyu casually answered and shifted her gaze to Yu Ning'er, giving her a confused look.

"Do you have a problem with it?" She coldly continued while her yellow eyes were shining brightly.

"N-No, I don't have a problem at all. Right, Apple head, we don't have a problem!" Yu Ning'er hurriedly responded with a smile.

'Why are you dragging me in..!' Bai Xue intently stared at Yu Ning'er and suddenly felt Chu Xiaoyu's gaze on her body.

"Y-Yeah, Xiaoyu. We don't have Any problem at all." She cheerfully smiled, and Chu Xiaoyu nodded her head in consent.

Bai Xue and Yu Ning'er stared at each other and another intense lightning flickering between their eyes.

'Just what are you two doing?' Zhu Zhuqing enjoyed her biscuit and looked at them playing around.

Chu Xiaoyu shifted her gaze back to Yunlong and pushed a spoon to him. "Mhm, my soup… taste it." She silently asked.

"Okay." Yunlong patted Chu Xiaoyu because she's so cute and took a bite.

A clean yet refreshing taste entered his mouth, and he could see himself drowning inside of pure satisfaction.

Yunlong's mind became really relaxed for a moment and back to reality, finding Chu Xiaoyu curiously gazing at him. "It tastes good." He calmly said.

"Really..?" Chu Xiaoyu asked because she's not sure.

"Mm," Yunlong nodded his head, and Chu Xiaoyu genuinely smiled at him.

"I see.." Chu Xiaoyu muttered while lifting her body off Yunlong's lap.

Chu Yunxi was happy with their relationship and chuckled a little like a proud mother when seeing her daughter on Yunlong's lap.

"Ara~ Looks like their relationship has grown greatly over four years." Chu Yunxi said while stirring her pot, which shimmered with golden lights.

The overflowing aroma came out of her pot, and everyone in the room immediately dazed for a moment. Even Yunlong is no exception. They had never smelled something so amazing in their lives.

"What are you cooking, Yunxi?" Yunlong curiously asked.

"Hmm, only ordinary vegetable soup." Chu Yunxi responded as she didn't put any special in her soup.

She stirred the soup for a few minutes and poured it into five bowls, which she slowly gave to them.

"Enjoy~." She naturally said.

Yunlong and his maids looked at the soup in their hands and gulped a little.

"Let's eat.." Yunlong said while slightly tilting the bowl and sipping it.

Gulp! Gulp! Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!

.

.

The soup disappeared from the bowl, and all of them released a sigh of relief.

"T-This is amazing..!!" Yu Ning'er couldn't help but look at Chu Yunxi like she was the greatest soup maker in her life.

"I lost…" Bai Xue muttered while looking at her soup with a complicated gaze.

Chu Xiaoyu and Zhu Zhuqing couldn't express their feelings and stare at the empty bowls quietly.

"The winner is Chu Yunxi." Yunlong declared with a solemn expression, and none of the maids denied it.

Chu Yunxi looked at them and said, "Eh? So I'm the winner?"
