Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

She had been there for a long time, watching Lin Yu make one mouthwatering dish after another, and was already very hungry.

Hearing Lin Yu's words, she felt a sense of relief. Staying here and smelling the air would be torture.

"By the way, it's already so late, you probably haven't eaten yet. I left some in the pot for you, try it if you don't mind."

Lin Yu, who had just stepped out the door, stopped and turned back, smiling as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, the maid blushed instantly, clearly realizing that she had been caught secretly swallowing.

Back in his courtyard, before even entering, Lin Yu could smell a strong aroma of wine.

The entire courtyard was filled with this fragrance, making one subconsciously want to take a few more breaths.

"This is truly fine wine."

Lin Yu sighed, thinking that Tu Shan Ya Ya, that little girl, knew how to enjoy life.

As Lin Yu entered the courtyard, he saw several figures circling around his distillation furnace.

"The aroma of the wine is so strong, is it alright if I sneak a sip?"

"Sister Ya Ya, I've already told you that Brother Lin Yu's brewing skills are amazing, but you still don't believe me."

"But you can't drink it now, you have to wait until it's completely finished."

Tu Shan Ya Ya, the little fox who loves wine, was like a puppy that had seen a bone but couldn't eat it. Her big tail kept wagging, and she looked impatient.

Tu Shan Rongrong held Tu Shan Ya Ya's hand, preventing her from interrupting the distillation process.

"Speaking of which, is that human you're talking about really that powerful?"

"He killed several great demon kings of the Dao Alliance, overthrew the Heavenly Immortal Academy, and even brought out the King's Sword. He can also brew wine and cook. It sounds like he's bragging."

The speaker was a girl with long, dark green hair, a vertical eye on her forehead, and a beautiful face. She was speaking curiously to the two sisters.

"I'm not bragging, Rongrong never brags. Brother Lin Yu is really that amazing. You'll see when you taste his cooking later!"

Tu Shan Rongrong was just like her little fangirl from her past life, unable to tolerate anyone saying anything bad about Lin Yu, and immediately retorted loudly.

Chapter 88 Impressed by Tu Shan Ya Ya's Craftsmanship

"You're all here already! The food is ready, you can eat soon."

Listening to their conversation, Lin Yu smiled and stepped forward.

"Brother Lin Yu!"

"How was your day? Did you gain any new insights?"

Upon seeing Lin Yu, Tu Shan Rongrong no longer cared about stopping Tu Shan Ya Ya. She happily threw herself into his arms, blinking her bright eyes and asking him questions.

Looking at the little girl's expression, Lin Yu knew that Tu Shan Honghong's visit was definitely intentional, deliberately creating an opportunity for the two of them to be alone.

Otherwise, there would be no need for Tu Shan Hong Hong to make a special trip for something like the Fox Mind Technique, which almost all fox demons possess.

"There's been some progress, it's just that things haven't been going very smoothly."

Lin Yu shrugged and looked to the side at the girl who was curiously observing him.

"Rongrong, aren't you going to introduce me to someone?"

Tu Shan Rongrong slapped her forehead and quickly turned to the girl beside her.

"This is Sister Ling's younger sister, Cuiyu Mingluan, who is also a good friend of my sister and me. I wanted her to try Brother Lin Yu's cooking, so I invited her to come along."

"Is it alright that I didn't tell you beforehand?"

"It's alright, I just happened to cook a lot of dishes today."

"Hey! Give me back my wine gourd!"

Before Lin Yu and Cui Yumingluan could greet each other, Tu Shan Ya Ya rushed over, glaring angrily at Lin Yu.

After being taken away in the afternoon, she was immediately captured by Tu Shan Hong Hong and forced to do hard labor.

She handled those official duties herself for several months, and it gave her a headache.

I was finally thinking that I could be freed when Tu Shan Honghong and the others came back, but today I angered Tu Shan Honghong and was forced to redo all the official documents that she had previously approved.

She almost fainted in one afternoon.

As for meals, she wouldn't have come if it weren't for her wine gourd.

Lin Yu looked at the angry Tu Shan Ya Ya in front of him and smiled at her.

"I might need to borrow the wine gourd for a while."

"Who wants to borrow it from you? You clearly stole it from me."

Ignoring Tu Shan Ya Ya's disgruntled complaints from behind, Lin Yu opened the freshly distilled liquor.

The already rich aroma of wine in the air reached a peak at this moment.

Tu Shan Ya Ya, who was just accusing Lin Yu, began to look away, her long, fair neck twitching slightly as if she were swallowing.

Lin Yu took a small cup, scooped up a glass of crystal-clear wine, gently swirled it, and held it to his nose to inhale the aroma.

"Good wine."

Tu Shan Ya Ya's attention was now entirely focused on the wine in Lin Yu's glass. Her earlier aggressive attack had turned into indistinct murmurs.

Just as Lin Yu was about to raise his glass and drink the tempting wine, Tu Shan Ya Ya suddenly rushed out and leaped towards the glass.

"Snatching food from a tiger's mouth is not a good idea."

Lin Yu chuckled, seemingly having anticipated Tu Shan Ya Ya's actions. He calmly moved the wine glass aside, then reached out and grabbed the girl's collar, just like he had done in the afternoon, and lifted her up.

"Let me go! Let me have a taste!"

"Just one bite! I only want one bite!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya struggled to reach the wine glass in Lin Yu's hand.

"Giving you a drink isn't out of the question, but if you're willing to lend me your wine gourd, then..."

Lin Yu spoke with a smile, looking as if he had Tu Shan Ya Ya completely under his control.

"Despicable! You actually used this to threaten me!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya revealed her little tiger teeth, looking as if she wanted to bite Lin Yu.

"If you don't agree, then forget it. It's a pity we won't be able to drink such delicious wine every day anymore."

Lin Yu seemed to say this with some regret, raising his glass to drink it down in one gulp.

Tu Shan Ya Ya watched the wine glass pass by her, feeling a strong urge to drink it.

"I'll lend it to you! I'll lend it to you!"

"But I can only lend it to you when I'm not using it, is that alright?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu decided not to tease the little girl anymore.

The wine gourd and such didn't really matter; I just wanted to give this little girl a little talking-to so she wouldn't cause me trouble every day.

"alright."

Lin Yu said, feigning reluctance, "But if you want to drink such delicious wine in the future, you'll have to make a proper request."

He brought the wine glass to Tu Shan Ya Ya's lips, and the little girl's eyes lit up. She quickly swallowed the wine in the glass.

"what!"

The strong, potent liquor, along with the rich aroma that had been tantalizing her, exploded in her mouth in an instant.

Simple distillation only increases the alcohol content of the liquor; Lin Yu doesn't interfere much with its flavor.

The true flavor still comes from the original taste of the wine itself.

Tu Shan Ya Ya's wine is already a rare and exquisite wine, and after further concentration, its flavor is even more lingering and memorable.

After taking a sip of wine, Tu Shan Ya Ya, who had a pretty good alcohol tolerance, immediately blushed.

The rich aroma mixed with spiciness made Tu Shan Ya Ya feel dizzy for a moment.

"Good wine!"

With a breath reeking of alcohol, Tu Shan Ya Ya, despite not getting along well with Lin Yu, couldn't help but give a thumbs-up.

"I knew it! Brother Lin Yu is amazing; he can do everything!"

Tu Shan Rongrong came over with a grin and said to Tu Shan Yaya.

At this moment, the maid came over with a food box and the prepared food.

"Alright, stop fooling around and let's eat."

"Where are Honghong and the others?"

Tu Shan Rongrong pointed to the house behind her, "Sister Honghong and Sister Ling are in the room."

As they were talking, Tu Shan Honghong came out of the house from Cui Yuling.

"You're just out of the way, come and eat!"
