Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 50 Party

Ye Liangchen chatted with Shui Lingfeng in the Purple Bamboo Courtyard for a while before returning to Jingxian Villa.

"Grandma, I've learned how to cook these past few days in the mountains. I'm planning to cook a delicious meal for everyone later, you have to come!"

"Oh! You can cook now? Grandma, I have to try it."

Shui Lingfeng was immediately intrigued when she saw that the little guy had even learned to cook after just one trip outside.

"Grandma, cooking a few dishes isn't difficult at all; it's easy to learn."

Ye Liangchen is a foodie and cooking is his specialty. Moreover, he has memories of his past life, and the recipes for many dishes on Earth are in his mind.

"Come on, Grandma will come with you and help you out later."

Shui Lingfeng became interested and pulled Ye Liangchen directly towards Jingxian Villa. The little guy was back, and everyone should celebrate.

When Ye Liangchen returned to the entrance of Jingxian Manor, he saw Shui Bing'er and her group of maids introducing themselves to Zhu Zhuqing. Su Lin, Mu Qingxue, and others were drinking tea and chatting in the pavilion.

Upon seeing Ye Liangchen arrive, several maids immediately surrounded him in a flurry of sweet talk.

"Hello everyone," Ye Liangchen greeted everyone.

"Little Chen is back! Was the journey safe?"

Shui Bing'er walked over and asked with concern. She was helpless about the little guy bringing a girl back with him, especially since her mother said that there was another woman who seemed to be a goddess who had also taken a liking to the little guy.

"It went very smoothly. I was very careful out there." Ye Liangchen smiled. He was out enjoying life, not fighting.

"Zhuqing, congratulations on starting school soon." Ye Liangchen's eyes lit up when he saw Zhu Zhuqing wearing a light blue school uniform. This girl adapted very quickly.

"Thank you, Brother Chen."

Zhu Zhuqing hadn't expected the teachers and students of Tianshui Academy to be so kind to her, arranging for her to stay with Xue Wu and the others. Although she couldn't stay at Jingxian Villa with Ye Liangchen and Shui Bing'er, it was enough for her.

Shui Yue'er approached Ye Liangchen and said mischievously, "Little brother Chen, you've been gone for over a month and actually brought back a big-breasted girl! You're something else!"

"We always said that little Chen would definitely bring a girl home, and we were right!"

Xue Wu and Yu Hairou and others started making a fuss on the side, making Zhu Zhuqing blush bright red.

"Moon, be a little more reserved."

Shui Lingfeng glared at the little girl, then came to Zhu Zhuqing and looked her up and down.

"Your name is Zhu Zhuqing, right? That's great. Now that you're here, you can focus on your cultivation." Shui Lingfeng knew everything about Zhu Zhuqing from Ye Liangchen.

"Zhuqing, this is the Dean's grandmother, and also the grandmother of Sister Bing'er and Sister Yue'er." Ye Liangchen introduced Shui Lingfeng's identity to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Zhu Zhuqing pays respects to the senior."

Zhu Zhuqing respectfully bowed to Shui Lingfeng, which was equivalent to meeting Ye Liangchen's grandmother, and she could not be impolite.

"Xiao Chen, you have such a good eye for aesthetics. Look at this girl's figure, she looks like she's good at bearing children."

Su Lin and An Qi walked up to Ye Liangchen with smiles on their faces, both showing maternal smiles.

"Ms. Su Lin, Ms. An Qi, something's wrong with you!"

Ye Liangchen was speechless at these unserious teachers, since nothing had happened between him and the kitten yet.

"Sis, it looks like we need to eat more papaya."

Shui Yue'er looked at Zhu Zhuqing's voluptuous figure, then at her own, and sighed.

"Moon, be serious." Shui Bing'er rubbed her forehead. Her younger sister really liked to be mischievous, but what her sister said also made some sense.

"Haha...! Yue'er, cuteness is worthless in the face of sexiness. Little Chen's aesthetic sense is still quite sophisticated."

Xue Wu deliberately raised her head and puffed out her chest, showing off her stunning figure, and then pulled Zhu Zhuqing along, ready to have a competition.

"Zhuqing, let them be envious!"

Zhu Zhuqing blushed instantly after Xue Wu's teasing: "Sister Xue Wu, you're joking."

"Xuewu, what are you so smug about? Now that Zhuqing is here, the title of 'King of Football' is no longer yours."

"That's right, Xuewu, this is what they call 'there's always someone stronger, and there's always someone better'."

Yu Hairou, Gu Qingbo, Qiu Ruoshui and the others joked around, not caring about their image.

"Then I'm better than you guys!" Xue Wu retorted without any politeness, and even deliberately puffed out her chest and raised her head in front of the others.

Seeing the girls' utterly unladylike behavior, Ye Liangchen was speechless, thinking: Ladies, there's a man here! How can they say such things?

"Sisters, these pills are for you."

Ye Liangchen took out a pile of Jade Flower Pills and gave them to the girls as gifts.

"Little Chen, thank you."

Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and the others put away the Jade Flower Pills. Since they had taken Soul Power Pills before, they trusted the little guy's medical skills.

"Brother Chen, you gave us everything, aren't you keeping some for yourself?"

Zhu Zhuqing remembered that this guy had only made a little over 100 of them, and he actually brought them all out.

"I have the medicinal herbs; I can prepare them anytime."

Ye Liangchen took some more pills and went to the pavilion to give them to Su Lin, Mu Qingxue and others.

"Teachers, this is the Jade Flower Pill I refined, which is slightly more advanced than the Soul Power Pill."

"Oh, Xiao Chen has refined a new pill again." Su Lin, Mu Qingxue and the others held the Jade Flower Pill with great curiosity.

"We just took it, and the effect was excellent. Xiaochen also said it has beauty and skin-nourishing effects. You can give it a try."

Lan Xiaodie introduced the effects of the elixir to everyone, especially its effect of nourishing and beautifying the skin, which caught the teachers' attention.

"Xiao Chen, if you use this pill to make money, you'll definitely become the richest person in Douluo Continent." Su Lin thought that just based on its beauty-enhancing effects, it could drive the women of the continent crazy.

"Then I'll refine more in the future and auction them off."

After Su Lin's reminder, Ye Liangchen felt that this pill would definitely make a lot of money, since no woman dislikes beauty and skincare.

"Let's talk about it later! Xiao Chen's alchemy skills, cultivation techniques, and martial arts techniques cannot be exposed carelessly, otherwise it will attract the attention of powerful forces."

Shui Lingfeng and Lan Xiaodie were well aware of the commercial value of the Jade Flower Pill, but they dared not take the risk, fearing that powerful figures from major forces would focus their attention on Ye Liangchen, especially the people from the Spirit Hall.

……

After chatting in the courtyard for a while, the Lan sisters went directly to the canteen to get a lot of ingredients, preparing for a picnic at Jingxian Villa.

"Aunt Lan, I'll help too."

Walking into the kitchen, Ye Liangchen started working, preparing to show off his skills and let everyone have a taste.

"Okay, then we'll see how you do, Xiao Chen." Lan Xiaodie and the others were quite surprised to see the little guy take the initiative to cook.

Zhu Zhuqing, who was chatting with Shui Bing'er and others in the distance, saw Ye Liangchen start cooking and ran over to help.

Shui Bing'er and her sister, along with Xue Wu and others, also gathered around, looking at Ye Liangchen's practiced manner with great surprise.

"Little Chen, you actually learned how to cook after just one trip out?"

"To become a strong person, you must learn to eat." Ye Liangchen recalled a strong person who once drank animal milk and had eaten his way through countless worlds.

"I think you're talking nonsense."

"Sisters, come and help!"

Shui Bing'er and her sister asked Xue Wu, Yu Hairou and others for help, and told Lan Xiaodie and the others to go and rest.

"Brother Chen, what dishes are you planning to cook today?"

"Boiled fish in chili oil, spicy lobster, poached chicken, twice-cooked pork..."

"Then I'll help out."

Zhu Zhuqing had lived in the mountains with Ye Liangchen for a month and had learned some cooking skills.

"Ladies, remember to scrub the lobsters thoroughly!"

While Ye Liangchen was slicing fish, he saw Shui Bing'er and the others brushing crayfish outside. Ye Liangchen gave Shui Bing'er and the others some instructions.

"Don't worry, little brother Chen, we're eating this ourselves, so we'll definitely clean it thoroughly." Xuewu and the others busily cleaned the crayfish. Although they had never done this kind of work before, they learned it in no time.

"Look at Xiao Chen's skillful knife work, he's quite professional."

"This little guy has learned medicine, and now he can also be a chef. He's really a multi-talented person."

Lan Xiaodie, Mu Qingxue, and the others sat in the pavilion in the distance, watching the little ones busy in the kitchen, eagerly anticipating what kind of surprises they would come up with.

Three hours later, with the help of Zhu Zhuqing, Shui Bing'er and others, Ye Liangchen prepared ten dishes. The dishes were so delicious and visually appealing that they would make anyone's mouth water.

"You're quite something, kid! Your cooking skills are comparable to those of top hotel chefs."

Lan Xiaodie, Su Lin, and the others tasted it and found it delicious, praising Ye Liangchen to the skies.

"You flatter me, I should be able to eat it," Ye Liangchen said modestly.

"Dean, we also deserve credit, okay?" Xuewu and the others chimed in, looking for praise.

"Tch! Xiao Chen did all the cooking; you girls just helped wash the vegetables." Su Lin ruthlessly exposed the girls' thoughts.

"Everyone, let's eat! This is the result of Xiao Chen's hard work all afternoon."

Shui Lingfeng invited everyone to start eating, celebrating the little one's return.

"Sisters, let's dance to celebrate!"

After eating and drinking their fill, it was already evening. Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and the others even performed a beautiful dance, creating a very cheerful atmosphere.

"Sister Zhuqing, come and join us."

Just as Zhu Zhuqing was dazzled by the sights, Xue Wu came over and pulled her to dance together.

"Ah...! Sister Xuewu, I don't know how!"

"It's okay, I'll teach you."

Soon, Zhu Zhuqing was led by Xue Wu and started dancing along with the rhythm.

"Girls, get moving!" Lan Xiaodie, An Qi, and the others sat at the table, drinking fine wine while instructing the girls on their dance moves.

Ye Liangchen sat at a distance, watching the beautiful women's graceful dance. He found it very pleasing to the eye; they truly deserved to be called the "Sweet Soup Group"!

"Xiao Chen, isn't it beautiful? Why don't you try dancing too? It's a lot of fun!" Su Lin, holding a wine glass, came to Ye Liangchen's side and suggested that he give it a try.

"Ms. Su Lin, I don't need it."

Ye Liangchen wiped his forehead, feeling that this woman was doing it on purpose.

"Xiao Chen, you don't understand. Dancing can bring joy to both body and mind."

"Teacher Su Lin, I think watching beautiful women dance is even more enjoyable for people's mind and body."

"Hey! You've got a good eye for things, huh?"

"Teacher Su Lin, the senior students who participated in the previous Soul Master Competition said that they also danced at the beginning of the competition."

"Yes! But it wasn't a free jump; the organizers gave us 10,000 gold soul coins for the jump."

"I see! That's not bad. Then the appearance fee for the next time will be increased to 100,000 gold soul coins."

"Xiao Chen, a 100,000 yuan appearance fee? That's not a low price!"

"Teacher Su Lin, didn't Sister Bing'er and the others perform sword dances before? Let's have them do a sword dance sometime. I'll design the costumes and choreography. We're sure to earn 100,000 yuan in appearance fees."

"That's right! These girls have learned swordsmanship from you, so let them give it a try."

Su Lin immediately became interested when she heard Ye Liangchen's suggestion, and Ye Liangchen decided to teach the girls Gongsun Li's sword dance moves, which would definitely create a lively scene.
