Chapter 286 - 0186 Intelligence is a good thing (2-in-1)

The facilities of Muyu Peak are fully automated. The ladies cook their meals using teleportation directly to their residences, so someone like Xu Chang’an who personally selects ingredients is quite rare.

But Xu Chang’an still came; he didn’t use the Teleportation Array, and each vegetable and piece of meat was chosen by him personally.

Cooking for the teacher, you know.

However, Xu Chang’an certainly didn’t anticipate one thing.

"%*@#￥..."

When he walked to the entrance of the Dining Hall carrying a big bag of ingredients and looked at the torrential rain outside, seeing the flood from the Milky Way pouring into the human world, he was left speechless.

Such heavy rain.

How could he return?

He glanced down at the various fresh dishes he bought.

If he braved such heavy rain back to Celestial Bright Peak, the dishes would be soaked beyond recognition.

Reminded by Li Zhibai, he didn’t dare use Spiritual Qi to shield from the rain, and the only umbrella was left with Yun Qian, so he came to buy vegetables under light drizzle earlier.

In the empty Dining Hall, Xu Chang’an glanced at the senior sisters outside, who were enjoying themselves in the rain, with their clothes completely drenched, and sighed softly.

Even as a man, he’d rather avoid getting wet, yet the senior sisters truly don’t shy away from him.

Muyu Peak, true to its name.

There were quite a few senior sisters outside; Xu Chang’an was certain they followed him... After all, he had just thrown a flashbang on Muyu Peak. How could the senior sisters who had been fed dog food let it go?

However, the senior sisters merely followed him and didn’t come up to cause trouble, clearly not wanting to interrupt his proper business.

Previously, he would be smeared with rouge whenever he went out, but this time, Yun Qian was nearby, so they were well-behaved.

And even though their clothes were soaked, and they appeared disheveled, they weren’t revealing anything inappropriate, but merely slightly accentuated their figures. Clearly... they knew Xu Chang’an was watching, and all of them had a clear mirror in their hearts.

With such considerate and gentle ladies, how could he not like them?

"Hmm...I can’t quite say like," Xu Chang’an recalled something, and the corners of his mouth lifted.

Miss Yun could never distinguish the types she liked, so such words couldn’t be used lightly.

While contemplating, Xu Chang’an suddenly noticed the women playing in the rain stopping, whispering to each other for a while, and a woman in a purple dress, with a silver bead and Jade on her head, walked towards him.

Xu Chang’an cast a glance from afar and then lowered his gaze until she lifted her skirt to cross the threshold and entered the empty Dining Hall. He still kept his head down.

In his view, he could only see half a deep purple skirt and a pair of exquisite boots.

"Chang’an greets Ms. Dongfang."

Xu Chang’an respectfully saluted.

"You haven’t even looked at me; how do you know it’s Ms. Dongfang?" The woman tiptoed, her voice carrying a trace of dissatisfaction: "Couldn’t I be your other senior sister?"

The woman had an amused look in her eyes: "Lift your head and look at me."

"..." Xu Chang’an maintained his bowing posture, but the corners of his brows trembled.

"Not daring to look at me?" The woman asked.

"Senior sister, your clothes are wet." Xu Chang’an replied honestly.

Just standing for a moment, a puddle had formed beneath the woman’s feet, and her skirt clung to her body, making it hard for him to lift his head?

"So you can look in the rain, but once I’m inside, you don’t?"

"..."

"Alright, I’m done teasing you." Ms. Dongfang lightly tapped Xu Chang’an’s shoulder, saying teasingly: "To make you watch such a scene in front of so many people, serves you right."

As she spoke, a silver glow flashed from the ring on her hand, and she took out a cloak from the Storage Ring and tied it, concealing her voluptuous figure.

Only then did Xu Chang’an breathe a sigh of relief, standing upright to look at the mature lady before him: "Chang’an didn’t mean it that way."

"I know of course, but you make us women’s hearts itch; they all say it’s your fault." Ms. Dongfang nodded, took the bag from Xu Chang’an, and glanced at the ingredients inside: "Cooking for Ms. Yun? You’re really thoughtful, even going out of your way."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chang’an realized he’d bought ingredients using the Teleportation Array for meals with Yun Qian, but personally choosing them to entertain the teacher seemed inappropriate.

"What’s that look for?" Ms. Dongfang was taken aback, then Liu Mei furrowed: "Isn’t this for her? Is it for Senior Wen? Or perhaps for the girl surnamed Lu at the Steward Hall, since you’ve been taking care of the flowers at the Steward Hall for her these past days, and are inviting her to dinner? She really doesn’t know her place..."

"Please spare me." Xu Chang’an smiled bitterly, thinking that all his affairs were indeed known to everyone.

Ms. Dongfang clicked her tongue and didn’t intend to probe further, handing a dark wide umbrella to Xu Chang’an: "Here, take it."

"Mm." Xu Chang’an smiled lightly, accepting the umbrella without any hesitation.

He guessed the senior sister came to help him.

"What are you smiling about?" Ms. Dongfang snorted, "If it weren’t for Ms. Yun still waiting for you in that pavilion, I wouldn’t bother with you... Once the junior sister arrives at the mountain, see who still pays attention to this junior brother."

"Yes, yes." Xu Chang’an thought he wished everyone would pay attention to Yun Qian.

"Next time the Ice Crystal Fruit ripens, I’ll send two pounds to the senior sister." Xu Chang’an coughed lightly.

"Help me cut a box, half a pound is enough, two pounds... Won’t those women say I’m hogging the food?" Ms. Dongfang squinted: "Trying to stir up trouble between us sisters, huh."

Xu Chang’an: "..."

He covered his face with one hand, feeling utterly helpless.
