Chapter 789 Seeing Old Friends Again
Qiongxiang Hall.

After passing through the pitch-black darkness outside, Yun Jidao, who was like a frightened bird, followed "Ling Sheng" and walked through rows of empty tables and chairs into the kitchen where the sound of chopping meat could be heard.

As soon as she stepped into the kitchen, she smelled a rich and unfamiliar aroma, which was the rich aroma of meat after being boiled for a long time, mixed with the aroma of medicinal herbs and sauces. It made her stomach shrink suddenly and let out a slight "gurgling" sound.

But the next second, she was frightened by the scene before her and took a few steps back.

On the blood-soaked chopping board, pieces of bright red meat were precisely cut, arranged, and stacked aside.

The soup in the iron pot was boiling, and something that looked like offal was floating up and down, and it was from here that the rich and tempting aroma emanated.

Standing in the center is a pig-headed cook.

It had a human body and a pig face, its face full of wrinkles, its greasy pig nose moving slightly with its breathing, its two small eyes embedded in the thick flesh, and the knife in its hand chopped the minced meat on the chopping board again and again.

Yun Jidao's heart sank, and his legs and feet became weak. He was about to grab "Ling Sheng" and persuade her to step back, but "Ling Sheng" had already walked in front of the pig-headed chef.

"Master, good evening, is there anything to eat?"

The tone was quite natural and familiar, just like greeting an old acquaintance.

Yun Jidao almost fainted on the spot.

Her mind quickly recalled the horrific and even miserable experience in the dungeon last time, as well as the experience sharing on the Guangming Forum - don't talk casually, don't act casually, and don't take the initiative to provoke weird attention!

Her body was just that of a mortal. Although she had a weak fighting instinct, she would be powerless to escape if she violated the rules of the strange creature just now...

When I thought of this, I realized that the sound of chopping meat had stopped long ago.

Only the bubbles rolling in the iron pot made a sudden popping sound.

The pig-headed chef slowly turned his fat pig face, his small eyes flashing with a strange light as he stared at the girl in front of him, still tightly holding the blood-stained butcher knife in his hand.

The kitchen suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Yun Jidao held his breath instantly, his palms were covered in cold sweat, his fingertips were trembling, and he unconsciously increased the strength with which he held "Ling Sheng".

However, the next second.

The pig-headed cook opened his mouth, and a cloud of white air blew out of his heavy nose, and he spoke in a low voice:

"Oh, it's you."

The tone was like speaking to an old friend whom he had not seen for a long time.

One could even say it was said mildly:
"Sit over there, I'll serve you something to eat."

Yun Jidao was stunned for a moment.

She stared blankly at the pig-headed cook who turned around, dipped his wooden spoon into the pot, scooped up two bowls of boiling hot meat and placed them on the table.

She subconsciously looked at "Ling Sheng", only to see that she had already skillfully pulled out a chair and sat down without any hesitation. She also picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of what looked like intestines and put it into her mouth. She chewed a few times, her eyes full of satisfaction.

"Come and sit down and eat! The chef's stewing skills are really good!" "Ling Sheng" raised his hand to greet her while eating with his mouth full of oil.

After hearing this, the pig-headed chef narrowed his eyes and was actually very pleased. He took another big spoon and scooped a full bowl.

Yun Jidao swallowed.

Hunger eventually overcame her fear. She sat down tremblingly, carefully picked up the bowl, picked up a piece of meat and put it into her mouth with her eyes closed.

The oil seeps between the teeth, and the mellow aroma of the marinade permeates every texture of the meat. There is not a single fishy smell, only a rich and heavy taste.

good to eat.

Really...so delicious!
Yun Jidao held the bowl and began to eat ravenously. After a while, he had finished the soup. The warm feeling spread from his stomach and even his fingertips were warm.

She breathed a long sigh of relief and almost burst into tears.

“The food cooked by the chef is so delicious. It’s even more delicious than the braised pork stall at the foot of the National Academy Mountain!” she exclaimed sincerely.

Ling Sheng smiled: "Indeed."

Yun Jidao smiled and nodded: "It seems that great minds think alike..."

Before she finished her words, she suddenly realized something, stopped abruptly, and looked up at "Ling Sheng".

"You...are also a student of the National Academy?"

Ling Sheng smiled but didn't answer. He just opened the back door and called out, "Come and help the master wash the dishes."

Yun Jidao responded blankly, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and washed them at the well outside. He then watched "Ling Sheng" pick the fruits and vegetables in the backyard very familiarly, draw water from the well skillfully, and scrub the blood-colored mud on the surface.

"From now on, you have to come here to help every day." She reminded casually, "The master will give you food."

Yun Jidao was stunned for a moment and turned to look at the pig-headed chef.

It stood at the door in silence with its arms folded, nodding slightly in agreement.

"Then...what about you?" Yun Jidao said hesitantly.

"I have things to do."

The pig-headed chef had been silent the whole time, but suddenly asked, "Are you leaving again?"

"Ling Sheng" nodded and smiled: "Well, it's time to say goodbye again."

"I hope to see you again." The pig-headed chef said in a deep voice.

"Yes, I will."

"Ling Sheng" wiped his hands, handed the fruit in his hand to it, and turned to look at the bewildered Yun Jidao.

"I'm leaving now. If you meet other hungry friends, you can bring them over to work."

"Um……"

Yun Jidao stared at her blankly, as if he wanted to ask something, but he could only watch "Ling Sheng" disappear into the kitchen. He looked up for a long time before he heard the pig-headed cook roar:
"You, cut all these potatoes into thin strips! They must be the same length and width!"

Such a demanding requirement?
Yun Jidao was frightened but didn't dare to complain. He walked forward obediently, picked up the kitchen knife, and resigned himself to starting to deal with the mountain of potatoes.

……

Liu Sheng stepped out of Qiongxiang Hall.

I looked up at the moon in the sky; it was not yet fully round.

This time she acted quickly and had a clear goal, and the pig-headed chef did not keep her to work, so she had plenty of time.

But she still did not slow down her pace, and walked along the stone path covered with fallen leaves, through the fog, towards Qingxu Hall.

At this moment, quite a few people have gathered in the square.

She had brought so many people into the dungeon this time, so naturally many smart people had already figured out the secrets of Qingxu Hall and had rushed over to investigate.

However, as the old man finished speaking, many people showed hesitation and finally chose to stop moving forward.

Liu Sheng looked at the old man in front of him with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Speaking of which...this person is the incarnation of Master Qixuan.

She stared at the other person, but the old man seemed not to notice. He just led everyone into Qingxu Hall according to the procedure as usual.

The first level is to test your root bones.

Liu Sheng passed quickly.

As soon as he came out, Liu Sheng walked straight towards the old man without stopping, and said in a deep voice: "I want to enter the second level immediately."

Her voice fell clearly into the ears of the people who were staggering out of Qingxu Hall, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet for a moment.

The incarnation of Master Qixuan - the head of Qingxu Hall raised his head slightly, stared at Liu Sheng, and looked at him quietly for a moment, as if he was weighing something.

Finally, the corners of his mouth curled up vaguely:
"Since it's you, of course you can..."

So, in front of everyone's astonished gaze, Liu Sheng walked back into the door again.

Light and shadow intertwined, and the air suddenly became silent.

There was an empty square in front of me.

In the center stands a blank stone tablet.

This time, she was alone.
