Just a Normal Morning

"Can you keep this a secret to everyone?"

"Hmm... why? I mean, I will but why not you tell your father as well?"

"I trust you more... And there is really no need to tell him. It's not like I will constantly use my new abilities as I prefer to avoid using them."

"Sure!!!"

Xiao Yan was so happy that Mu Yue really did follow what she put on the book. Since it was like this, she will make sure that this remains a secret. Good thing that her subordinates were trained to avoid eavesdropping, accidentally or voluntarily, or else she might need to kill them.

"Mu Yue, do you still need to eat food after drinking my blood?" Xiao Yan asked.

Mu Yue nodded. "Blood does not fill my stomach."

"Then is there a consequence if you do not drink blood for some time, Mu Yue?"

"I don't know... What I know is what I can currently feel. I was not given any knowledge, other than I have a mother and it seems she has a lot of enemies. This was the reason that I was not with her in the past years." Mu Yue replied.

"Alright... after you drank my blood, I feel sleepy *yawn*. Let me sleep some more~."

They were currently sitting, with both of them facing each other. Xiao Yan then fell towards Mu Yue.

"Xiao Yan? Wake up... This position is not a good one if you want to have a good sleep..."

Mu Yue just shrugged and decided to just stay and not move when she did not receive any reply from Xiao Yan. It was her fault that Xiao Yan fell asleep so she should not complain.

After some time, Xiao Yan woke up because of the noise and pain her stomach was making. She then saw that she was above Mu Yue, both of them lying in bed.

"Huh, Mu Yue? Why are we in this position? Not that I hate it *yawn*."

"Can you get off me? My body is now numb... I want to stretch."

"Oh sure."

Slowly, Xiao Yan got off Mu Yue. She then saw Mu Yue having a hard time moving.

"Can you still cook breakfast?"

"I can't. I can't move much."

"I'll do it then!~"

"N-no!!!!!!"

Xiao Yan ignored the cries of Mu Yue. 'It's breakfast and we both need nutrition, especially now that I lost some blood. Specialty it is!'

Mu Yue tried to be able to move as soon as possible. When she was back to normal, she immediately runs towards the kitchen, only to see Xiao Yan already putting the food to two bowls.

"Oh hey there, Mu Yue. Can you help me carry this to the table?" Xiao Yan asked.

"S-sure."

Mu Yue did not look forward to eating the food. No one knew what ingredients Xiao Yan mixed on what she was holding.

"Alright Mu Yue! Sit and I'll let you have the honor of eating first~."

Mu Yue stared at the food that she scooped with her spoon. She smells herbs and that was a bad sign. She remembered the medicine she had to drink that was made out of herbs. They were too bitter.

"Thank you for the food!!!" Mu Yue quickly puts a spoonful of food to her mouth, planning to swallow it quickly to decrease the bitterness she will taste.

Yet there was no bitterness. It was even more delicious than what she cooks.

"So how's the taste???" Xiao Yan asked excitedly.

"It's delicious. I thought you cook badly? You said the food I cook tastes better than yours but that might not be the truth, right?" Mu Yue asked.

Xiao Yan quickly explained, "That's a recipe my mother gave me. She is a great alchemist who knows how to add herbs to food. Actually, that's one of the good things that came out of all of her experiments. They were mostly like the last one you tasted, bland, or just unexplainable taste."

"If that's the case... Can you cook your own style, Xiao Yan?"

"Just promise that you won't have a negative reaction when you tasted it..."

"Sure! Let's do it tomorrow!"

Xiao Yan grimaced. She was planning to prepare by researching some stuff.

"Can it be some oth-"

"Let's go to the library now, Xiao Yan. Teach me twice than usual so tomorrow will be a free day. I would like you to cook for breakfast, lunch, and dinner."

There goes her preparation. Even today's time was now occupied. She just nodded and sighed.
