Bai Xiaoxiao hugged her head subconsciously.

But the expected pain did not come. The warm fingertips gently stroked across her cheek, and the roughness caused by years of holding heavy weapons disappeared in an instant. Bai Xiaoxiao was a little dazed and suddenly opened her eyes.

"Dirty."

Kui Ming still had a cold expression, but there was a smear of dust on the fingertips he retracted, presumably it was accidentally stuck on them when she lowered her head to blow the cigarette just now. Bai Xiaoxiao raised her sleeves and wiped them back and forth again: "Thank you, thank you."

Maybe because they made too much noise, the big black dog at the door suddenly started barking "woof woof woof" non-stop.

Before Bai Xiaoxiao could react, Kui Ming suddenly curled up backwards at lightning speed. By the time she finally came to her senses, this taciturn and cold-blooded boss had rolled back into the vegetable basket again.

Bai Xiaoxiao: ...

666: ...

[This boss... isn't he afraid of dogs...? ]

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at 666 in silence. Was what she was experiencing now really the same book she had read before? System 666 was silent for a while and then disappeared with a "pop".

Bai Xiaoxiao: ...6!

The big black dog ran in with its tongue hanging out. Bai Xiaoxiao clearly felt Kui Ming shrinking even tighter into the vegetable basket. She hurriedly hugged the black dog and smoothed its smooth fur, then fed it two or three bites of cakes and sent them out, then finally closed the door.

"Senior brother?"

Bai Xiaoxiao carefully selected her words and said, "It's all right now. You can come out now."

Shake the vegetable basket.

Kuiming popped his head out again.

Bai Xiaoxiao brushed off the vegetable leaves on his head and asked, "Are you okay?"

Kui Ming still had no other expression. He just blinked his eyes, and his gaze swept across the rotten vegetable leaves that Bai Xiaoxiao was holding, and then moved to her face: "I'm hungry."

Bai Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment.

What he meant was that he was hungry so he ran to the kitchen to find something to eat, but he didn't expect there was a big black dog at the door. Not only did he not find any food, but he was so scared that he hid in the vegetable basket and didn't dare to come out. Is that right?

[I’m hungry...what should I do? ]

Bai Xiaoxiao's sight fell on the burning boiler. Three lonely hairs were boiling and tumbling. The green vegetables in her hand and the vermicelli on the opposite corner of the round table were so clearly visible. She also rubbed her somewhat shriveled belly. Soup, soup... The key point is that there is 'soup', right?

The fresh green vegetables were paired with crystal clear vermicelli, mixed with sesame oil, cooking wine, salt, and a series of seasonings, and finally garnished with a few corianders. Then she found the hot big steamed buns.

Bai Xiaoxiao munched on a steamed bun and drank a big bowl of vegetable and vermicelli soup with satisfaction.

[It tastes like home after all. 】

Kui Ming paused while holding the bowl.

The two people didn't communicate throughout the whole process but it didn't seem awkward.

Eat and drink enough.

Bai Xiaoxiao cleaned up the leftovers on the table very consciously, and made soup and found steamed buns for the boss. I guess the grudge of having her hair pulled out has long since disappeared...

A cold hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Bai Xiaoxiao shuddered all over.

[What are you doing? Are you cursing the cook after you’ve eaten your fill? This doesn’t seem to be the way to do it…]

"Big Brother...Ah no! Big Brother, what else can I do for you?"

Bai Xiaoxiao wanted to put down her bowl and chopsticks with dignity, point at his nose and shout in a very cool voice, "I've already apologized to you, don't give me any face" to boost the morale of the book-traveling people, but she had to say that the world of immortal cultivation is the world of immortal cultivation, and the pressure that Kui Ming inadvertently exerted when he held her wrist almost made her wish him a happy new year.

Kui Ming took out a crystal clear and elegant mirror from his arms and put it in her hand: "Here you go."

Bai Xiaoxiao: “…Ah?”

Kui Ming stretched out his fingertips and lightly tapped the mirror, which immediately transformed into a variety of beautiful scenes such as snowfields and forests. He looked at her very seriously: "The Strange Mirror can reflect the scene that the holder wants to see in his heart. If you miss home, take a look."

Bai Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment: "How did you know?"

Kui Ming pointed at the vegetable vermicelli soup with some residue still on the table and said, "It tastes like home."

[Good fellow, fellow countryman? ]

Bai Xiaoxiao asked tentatively, "Palace Jade Wine?"

Kui Ming tilted his head, and a white jade wine pot with a redbud vine carved on it suddenly appeared in his hand. He pushed the wine pot to Bai Xiaoxiao without saying a word: "I don't have the imperial jade wine. This is the cold wine brewed with cold stagnant liquid. I don't know how it compares to the wine from your hometown. You can try it first."

Bai Xiaoxiao held the Strange Mirror in her left hand and the Cold Wine in her right hand. She stared at the man in front of her with surprise, trying to detect a hint from his expression - even if it was extremely subtle, some tentative, playful or appreciative emotion.

however……

Not a shit.

The face was as neat as a coffin lid.

[So... a pie in the sky? -- I'm going to start a wonderful life where I own the world, trample on scumbags, obtain countless treasures, and improve my immortal cultivation skills, 'bang bang--'? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, that's great! ]

【Bullshit! 】

She put the two treasures in her arms back into Kui Ming's hands.

Kui Ming looked at him, and a barely perceptible look of bewilderment flashed across his cold face: "Don't like it?"

Bai Xiaoxiao pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly awkwardly.

[What a joke, where is this? The world of immortal cultivation! The world of immortal cultivation! What big boss would give away weapons and equipment without suddenly appearing at a critical moment and then spouting a bunch of life philosophies and immortal fate opportunities, and even if it doesn't work, he would pretend to be profound and smile. I can just make a bowl of vegetable vermicelli soup in the kitchen and it will be done? Are you kidding me?! ]

Kui Ming said hesitantly: "I... have never lied to ghosts, and you are not..."

"Senior brother."

Bai Xiaoxiao interrupted him directly: "I understand what you mean, but you really don't have to give me anything. Don't worry, we will be brothers from now on. If you want to eat anything, just come to me and I will make it for you."

Kui Ming blinked: "You are a girl, and I am older than you."

Bai Xiaoxiao waved her hand impatiently: "It's not important!"

Kui Ming looked at her and nodded: "Okay."

Bai Xiaoxiao was very satisfied.

[That's right~ Instead of collecting a bunch of miscellaneous spiritual treasures, it's better to hold on to a big leg. Even if you die in the future, there will be someone to collect your body. ]

Kui Ming opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Bai Xiaoxiao had already cleaned up the dishes and placed them in the sink beside him. The water dripped from her fingertips to the edge of the bowl. Kui Ming opened his mouth again and wanted to say something.

"What's the matter?"

She didn't know when Bai Xiaoxiao's attitude towards Kui Ming started to become more and more casual. Maybe she thought that this big brother liked her cooking skills and would not really do anything to her. Or maybe she felt that the impression this big brother left on her from beginning to end was not as 'cold as ice' as described in the book, but a little - stupid.
