Witch, please have some self-respect!

The two rode on dragon-scaled horses, and by the time they returned home, it was already dark.

"This is..."

Looking at the small, thin figure behind Shen Yun, Wan'er asked uncertainly.

Under the cover of the dim sky, the girl in the black dress did not appear particularly dirty.

"Mianzhi, we'll be getting a little maid in our household from now on. You can help her get ready, and I'll do the cooking."

Smelling the aroma of stir-fried dishes from the kitchen, Shen Yun took over the important task.

It's inconvenient for him to take a bath with cotton branches.

"Mianzhi, come here, I'll take you to take a bath and change your clothes."

After Wan'er approached and noticed Mianzhi's disheveled appearance, she nodded.

Shen Yun looked at the dishes in the kitchen and skillfully began to prepare them.

The pork ribs are already stewed, and the beef brisket is still in the casserole.

Shen Yun's family has two spirit furnaces, and spirit rice porridge is being cooked on the other furnace.

"Let's cook two more dishes to make it more satisfying."

After Shen Yun finished cooking and was tending to the flowers and plants in the yard, Su Wan'er came out with Mianzhi.

After washing up, she took off her tattered black dress and changed into Su Wan'er's clothes. Mianzhi looked even thinner and smaller.

On the one hand, she has a small frame, and on the other hand, she really doesn't have much flesh on her body.

No wonder Shen Yun felt that her features were three-dimensional during the day, and she was so thin that she looked a bit emaciated. That's why she looked three-dimensional.

"Husband, where did you buy this girl? She's so pitiful, just skin and bones."

Su Wan'er quietly leaned closer and whispered.

"I've been trying to sell something in the human market for two months, but I haven't been able to..."

Shen Yun briefly explained Mianzhi's situation.

Don't be fooled by the fact that his family never has to worry about food or drink; they have a constant supply of spirit rice, spirit meat, and spirit fruit.

But this is just an isolated case. Qiao Niang and the Wei brothers' family all eat ordinary ingredients.

If even cultivators are like this, what about the mortals in the holy city?

This is especially true for ordinary families without any monks or nuns.

They live on prices typical of cultivators within the holy city, and it's common for them to go hungry and cold.

The matchmaker who raised the cotton tree was just an ordinary person; how much ability could she possibly have?

We can't even afford meat.

"Mianzhi is so pitiful."

Su Wan'er shook her head. Mianzhi seemed to be about the same age as her, but their life circumstances were worlds apart.

"Come on, Mianzhi, have some food. Eat more." Su Wan'er served her some food.

At the dinner table, Mianzhi's eyes widened in surprise as she took a bite of a spare rib.

It tastes amazing.

My first reaction was that I didn't dare to eat it. I didn't know whether to spit it out or swallow it. I just stared blankly at Shen Yun.

"Eat up, eat up, we don't have that many rules in our house."

Shen Yun smiled and stroked her chestnut-colored hair, which was caused by malnutrition, indicating that she should do as she pleased.

From the dirty little girl just now to the delicate and slender young lady now, it feels like she's been raised.

I don't know how it will turn out in the end, it's like opening a blind box.

Interesting.

Mianzhi's pupils stopped dilating and focused, reflecting Shen Yun's image. After receiving permission, she began to eat heartily.

Awoo~ Awoo~

There are actually things in the world that taste even better than meat buns and flaky flatbreads.

The master is too kind.

We must take good care of the old man.

The best husband wouldn't hit her, but would give her clean clothes to wear, good food, and let her eat her fill.

"He is simple-minded, but not the timid or cowardly type."

Having been locked up by that matchmaker for years, she knew nothing, like a bewildered little animal.

Shen Yun's understanding of Mianzhi gradually became more concrete.

Skinny and a bit slow-witted, but he can eat a lot.

In the Immortal Seeker City, this method is mostly used to train assassins who have no worldview and do whatever their superiors say.

A blank sheet of paper with little markings; you can write whatever you want on it.

Under Su Wan'er's surprised gaze, Mianzhi ate two large bowls of porridge.

An unprecedented sense of satisfaction enveloped the cotton branches.

If Shen Yun hadn't stopped serving her rice for fear of overeating, she probably could have continued eating.

After finishing her meal, Mianzhi got up and started clearing away the dishes.

"Not bad!" Shen Yun nodded secretly.

After washing the dishes, Wan'er, at Shen Yun's instruction, taught Mianzhi what to do every day.

Although Mianzhi doesn't talk much, she learns things very quickly; she can use the spirit furnace after being taught it only once.

There's also fetching water, cleaning, washing clothes, etc., which don't need to be taught.

"That room is the master's quiet room, and there's also a bedroom; you don't need to tidy them up..."

"I'll teach you how to cook tomorrow; all you can do is make porridge..."

......

These are all miscellaneous tasks with little technical content, but they can't be ignored. Mianzhi will understand after being taught once.

Seeing that she was quite well-behaved, Shen Yun went back to his room to continue carving the array plate.

Yes, it's an engraved array plate.

During this period, Shen Yun used all his blessings to carve exquisite talismans. He only stored up source stones and did not add any more, as the rate of consumption could not keep up with the rate of consumption.

Shen Yun initially tried to earn source stones by carving ordinary runes using the Blessing Seal, but it was too tiring and prone to failure.

During my free time, I made array plates instead of runes. If I felt like I was going to fail, I could just stop.

Or add a little good fortune, and the situation will immediately turn around.

Once you've adjusted your mindset and are ready to start again, it's just one more step.

Just as Qiaoniang said, as long as you're not afraid of having many obstacles, it's not easy to fail.

Without consuming any Blessing Points, Shen Yun could maintain the array plate he created at a level of seven or eight nodes.

I carve seal patterns in my spare time every day.

A single array plate can be engraved in three to five days, and a complete set can be produced in half a month, priced at fifty source stones.

Although it doesn't earn as much as carving seal stones, it's easier and allows you to spend more time and energy on other things.

When Shen Yun finished his work that night, Wan'er had already tidied up the room next door and sent over a few quilts.

Mianzhi has been given a rest.

"How about Mianzhi? Is she suitable to be a maid?"

The couple talked in bed.

"Hmm~ Mianzhi is alright. Although she looks a bit dull, she's quite clever."

Wan'er bit her lower lip and pressed down on the mischievous hand with a reproachful look.

"Just be quick."

"Wan'er, let me check on you quickly."

"Husband, no!"

"Hmm~"

......

The next morning, Shen Yun was awakened by the noise outside.

When he got up, the courtyard outside had been swept clean, and a thin figure was fetching water, pouring bucket after bucket into the vat.

Hardworking people are online.

Shen Yun was somewhat surprised, not expecting that such a thin little girl would have such strength.

When Wan'er first arrived at Lingnongfang, she couldn't lift such a bucket of water.

Sure enough, all that food I ate last night wasn't for nothing.

Shen Yun asked, "Mianzhi, have you ever tested your cultivation talent? What is your Dao Foundation level?"

"..."

Mianzhi, with her slender arms carrying a bucket of water, stood frozen in place, unsure how to answer Shen Yun's question.

Seeing her unfocused and blank look, Shen Yun knew that she had not been taught this kind of knowledge at all.

Go fetch some water.

Seeing this, Shen Yun didn't say anything and told her to get back to work.

Shen Yun started practicing rolling stone boxing in the courtyard.

In the past, he felt that doing nothing in the morning and lying in bed was the most comfortable thing to do.

After practicing, I do a set of Rolling Stone Fist in the morning. It mobilizes my blood and energy throughout my body, and I feel the most comfortable.

【Rolling Stone Fist (Minor Success 888/1000)】

This battle technique is getting closer and closer to mastery; mastery will further enhance combat power.

However, there is no need to practice this level of method to perfection; perfection at most only doubles the level.

Once mastered, a combat technique at the "Gong" level is far superior to the perfected Rolling Stone Fist; there's no arguing with that.

Once I've redeemed the "Blood Heaven Skill," I'll exchange it for more combat techniques to practice.
