Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1294: Chapter 1274: The War of Food

This matter didn’t leave any ripples in Qhianqhian’s heart; she forgot it in an instant, just like a fish’s memory. Along the way, she encountered quite a few Spiritual Beasts, all of which Luo Qianqian played with as practice.

Seeing Luo Qianqian’s strength, Hua Siye had nothing more to say. How could someone like her be someone the Hua Family could retain? She shone brilliantly throughout her actions.

In contrast, the other two people stood by watching during Luo Qianqian’s battles and didn’t lift a hand to help, clearly a sign of trust.

If it were them, leaving aside the question of whether they could defeat the Spiritual Beasts, their pride wouldn’t allow a woman to stand in front of them.

”Too slow.” Watching Luo Qianqian calmly dig into the Spiritual Beast’s brain to take out the Crystal Stone, Yan finally spoke.

”I know, I’m practicing dodging after all; survival is quite important.” Luo Qianqian shrugged, casually tossing the item in her hand into the bag on her body.

”I think you’re teasing the beast,” Yan lightly flicked Luo Qianqian’s forehead with his slender fingers, then scolded, ”You practice dodging with this defense-type Spiritual Beast known for its slow speed? It’s not even as agile as your cat.”

The black cat, listening to Yan’s words, meowed continuously, as if agreeing yet also showing disdain.

Luo Qianqian rubbed her forehead angrily. Could it be that this Yan was also commissioned by some elder? Why recently did he keep showing a senior’s demeanor, is he dissatisfied with her slow progress?

”Alright, Shiqi is still a child, full of playfulness. How much longer until we reach Gold Scale City?” Huangfu Yihui flipped the grilled fish swiftly in his hand and said to Yan.

Yan rolled his eyes, ”Do you take me for a map? If I knew everything, wouldn’t that make me a god?” He paused slightly, ”But I think we’re almost out to the main road.”

He says he’s not a map, but isn’t he quite clear?

This phrase hovered in the minds of everyone except Yan.

”Shiqi, when we get to Gold Scale City, I need to leave for a bit. Take this, it’ll help me find you.” Yan naturally took out a scented sachet, with a beautifully embroidered... mouse on it.

Luo Qianqian sniffed it; the fragrance was quite mild, and she naturally accepted it, placing it in her bosom, ”It must be a gift from someone else, such a unique design. Over the years, I’ve seen mandarin ducks, twin lotuses, lucky bamboos, even eagles, but truly it’s my first time seeing a mouse. The person gifting you this sachet sure has personality.”

Hearing this, Yan was stunned for a while.

After a while, he shook his head helplessly, ”I bulk bought these; each design is different to distinguish their purposes. The mouse is the better one, there’s even roast duck.”

”How interesting.” Huangfu Yihui laughed unceremoniously from the side, ”But why don’t you use any from your stash?”

”Do you want one?” Yan turned around, reaching into his pocket in a gesture of fetching something.

Huangfu Yihui shook his head repeatedly, waving his hand to add credibility, ”Even if I want one, it’d be from a young lady; I’d have nightmares if it were from you.”

”You’ll get your satisfaction.” Yan gave a meaningful glance at Huangfu Yihui, then nonchalantly began eating his barbeque. Using special materials and special flames, he was always the first to eat.

”Shiqi, two ice cubes.” Yan poured a glass of cola and said to Luo Qianqian.

But his hand was restless, directly reaching out to grab Yan’s finished product.

Though Yan wasn’t stingy, snatching food from the tiger’s mouth was quite difficult; the two of them were soon at it again, grabbing for the barbeque, while Luo Qianqian sat leisurely, reaping the benefits. Whether it was the grilled fish or barbeque on the fire, they were all hers.

After enjoying the tasty food, Luo Qianqian wasn’t stingy, lifting her palm slightly, letting two ice cubes naturally fall into the glass of water.

”Remember to pick some wild fruits on your way back.” Seeing the two about to run off, Luo Qianqian quickly said.

On the other side, Hua Nianyi was already accustomed to it; after all, these two acting up wasn’t just for a day or two, watching daily, she had long grown tired of it.

Seeing the two people leave, she quickly snuggled up to Luo Qianqian, smiling sweetly with a placating look.

”Alright, alright, what do you want to eat?” Hua Nianyi didn’t eat much, so Luo Qianqian didn’t mind sharing some food.

Old Master Hua, watching Hua Nianyi’s actions, sat in front of his barbeque, blowing his beard and glaring, taking a vicious bite of the charred meat.

He knew their side grilled more fragrantly and looked delicious, but their quantity was fixed, and it was embarrassing to ask for more...

Even Little Cleric has his portion, though he couldn’t taste it. Luo Qianqian treated him well, even if it meant giving him tender grilled things like bread or even grilled Apples.

Watching his daughter eat happily, while gloomily munching on his own barbeque, he wondered: back when he led troops, this kind of barbeque was rare; it was all large pot meals, where would there be special barbeque, especially grilled to satisfaction?

Yet now, eating it doesn’t hold the past interest, it just tastes bland.

Don’t you know to respect your elders?

Compared to Old Master Hua’s inner grievances, Hua Siye and Haan Yun were left silently grilling their own meat.

They had tried shamelessly begging for food but were always sent back...

Even if Luo Qianqian didn’t intervene, Yan and Huangfu Yihui weren’t around, Little Cleric and Hua Nianyi would still stand up for Luo Qianqian. They would glare until people left, dare to come forward? Dagger would serve them.

”Hey...” Huangfu Yihui’s subordinates were even more grumbling. Originally, Miss Luo would prepare the ingredients, making it delicious. Dry as it was, it was still tasty. However, since Old Master Hua’s group joined them, Luo Qianqian had stopped cooking. Their team now had to grill their own meat; eating Huangfu Yihui’s once or twice was alright, but continuously? That’d be a short life.

How could the subordinates feast on their master’s creations?

”Shiqi, there’s a small wooden cabin ahead, an old man collapsed there.” Huangfu Yihui suddenly returned, hurriedly expressing his concern, ”You better go check; Yan said he’s short on supplies.”

”Alright, Yiyi, you all eat first, I’ll go take a look.” Luo Qianqian handed the food in her hand to Hua Nianyi and left with Huangfu Yihui.

Huangfu Yihui’s subordinates also wanted to follow but were stopped with a single glance from Huangfu Yihui.

Not even a breath after the two left, the food in Hua Nianyi’s hand was snatched away by Old Master Hua without hesitation. Hua Siye was a step slower, Haan Yun, though faster, ultimately couldn’t bear to snatch from his fiancée, hesitating, was outdone by Old Master Hua.
