Chapter 152: Retire As a Chef

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation     Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Inside Shallow Clouds Residence.

Gu Xiaonan held a bowl of dark liquid in his hand and waved to Xiaobai. “Xiaobai, come and taste the ginseng chicken soup I’ve been cooking for two hours. I followed Miss Qianhuan’s instructions, so it must be a success!11

Xiaobai stood on a viewing stone and shook its head, refusing.

Master, please don’t try to deceive me again!

Thats not ginseng chicken soup, its poison!

Giving it to Xiaobai is like giving poison to it!

Gu Xiaonan narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint appearing, “Are you criticizing my cooking?”

Xiaobai continued to shake its head.

It didn’t dare to admit it!

Recalling the nightmare from a few days ago, Xiaobai felt like crying.

On the day when Gu Qingluan was in seclusion, Feng Yuanxi happened to come by and brought a bowl of soup personally cooked for Gu Qingluan.

After Gu Qingluan tasted it, she exclaimed in admiration and praised Feng Yuanxi endlessly.

Since then, Gu Xiaonan, who had never stepped foot in the kitchen, was stimulated.

From that day on, Gu Xiaonan cooked every day, vowing to master cooking before his mother came out. He wanted to retire as a chef for his mother!

However, Gu Xiaonan, who was gifted in cultivation, alchemy, and formations, suffered a major setback in cooking.

On the first day, he burned down the kitchen!

On the second day, he caused an explosion in the kitchen!

On the third day, the newly rebuilt kitchen was fortunately spared, but…

The things he cooked caused Xiaobai to vomit and have diarrhea, almost costing its life!

Xiaobai had ingested countless pills refined by Gu Xiaonan since it was young, making it immune to all poisons.

However, after drinking Gu Xiaonan’s “chicken soup,” it endured more suffering than mere poisoning.

On the fourth day, Xiaomei fell ill.

On the fifth day, just as Xiaobai had recovered, it suffered again.

On the sixth day…

On the seventh day…

Xiaobai trembled.

Please, Master, give up. As long as you stay out of the kitchen, it can do anything!

“Xiaobai, are you finding fault with my cooking?1‘ Gu Xiaonan lowered his head in disappointment, “I know, I’m not as good as Yuanxi. Yuanxi is more well-behaved than me, better at cooking, and knows how to make Mother happy. I’m just too foolish. Once Mother has Yuanxi, I ‘m sure Pl I gradually fall out of favor…”

No, Master, you’re the best!

After being together with Master for so many years, when had Xiaobai ever seen him so dejected?

Young Master should always be confident and full of vitality!

Feeling anxious, Xiaobai jumped down from the viewing stone and landed by Gu Xiaonan’s feet, extending its small paw to gently pat his leg.

“Squeak squeak squeak!”

Young Master, don’t be sad, you’re amazing! Master definitely loves you the most!

“You don’t have to console me, I know. 1 can’t even cook such a simple soup, Mother wonrt like it for sure.1’

“No, no! That’s not true at all!11 Xiaobai exclaimed, circling around him, not knowing how to console him.

“Sigh, Miss Qianhuan said that to capture a woman’s heart, you must first capture her stomach. If Mother tastes Yuanxi’s cooking a few more times, then I’ll become an unloved child/’

Gu Xiaonan’s eyes lost their sparkle, resembling a frost-stricken eggplant

“Squeak! Squeak!”

Xiaobai raised its little paw towards the bowl in Gu Xiaonan’s hand.

Master, 1’11 drink it!

Gu Xiaonan raised an eyebrow. “Xiaobai, you don’t have to force yourself to comfort me.”

Xiaobai danced with excitement.

Its not just for comfort!

Master, you will definitely succeed this time! If you don’t believe me, let me taste it!

Gu Xiaonan’s eyes curved, and he squatted down, offering the bowl to Xiaobai. “Then go ahead and try it. Although it doesn’t look good, the taste is actually quite nice.’1

Xiaobai looked at the dark liquid in the bowl, tears of sadness welling up in its heart.

Can it… change its mind?

“Xiaobai, were you just deceiving me? I knew it…11 Gu Xiaonan said with disappointment.

Master, don’t be upset!Til drinkit, TH drinkit!

Xiaobai put on a brave expression and plunged its head into the bowl, holding its breath and taking a gulp!

In no time, the bowl was empty.

Gu Xiaonan exclaimed joyfully, “It must be really good this time. Xiaobai, you drank it all in one go. I didn’t even get to taste it.”

So, Young Master isn’t going to blame Xiaobai anymore right?

Xiaobai had sacrificed so much!

Boom!

A loud sound reverberated.

Gu Xiaonan stood up abruptly, his gaze turning serious as he looked into the distance.

“What a powerful aura.. Who has arrived?”
