Gentleness

He had already stopped Yun Qian from cooking, so how could he not cook for her?

Therefore, Xu Chang'an still chose to continue doting on Miss Yun.

He used Yun Qian's jade token to send some ingredients over and then went to the kitchen of his new house to cook.

Holding the kitchen knife, his movements were smooth, but his thoughts had long run elsewhere.

Previously, he had wanted Yun Qian to be more promising, but now, looking back, he was a very useless person.

It was best not to have any weaknesses, especially for cultivators.

Without a doubt, if Xu Chang'an encountered a mental demon on his cultivation path in the future, then the only person qualified to be his mental demon was Yun Qian.

Could he eliminate this weakness?

How could that be?

Yun Qian was actually his motivation for cultivation. Xu Chang'an occasionally thought that if this world wasn't so dangerous, he might choose to farm at home every day. Then, he would have a daughter with his wife and live an ordinary life as a family of three.

Xu Chang'an was stunned. He exerted force and cut the cucumber on the chopping board into two.

Helpless.

It was also because Yun Qian was always thinking about children that he started to care.

At this moment, Xu Chang'an had forgotten that he was the one who mentioned the child first, but now he was blaming Yun Qian.

Xu Chang'an felt something. He turned around and saw Yun Qian leaning against the door frame and watching him cook.

"Hungry? Didn't I take out the candied fruits and snacks and put them in the cupboard?" Xu Chang'an wiped his hands and said, "There are array formations engraved in the cupboard. You don't have to worry about them breaking down for the time being."

"No." Yun Qian walked to the chopping board and leaned forward to look at Xu Chang'an's face. "I just feel that this place feels a little home when you cook."

"Miss, isn't your definition of home a little too cheap?" Xu Chang'an was helpless.

"I don't know." Yun Qian blinked as Gu Qiancheng's figure flashed across her mind.

The child said that her husband cooked like a woman. Although Yun Qian felt that there was nothing wrong with looking like a woman, from Gu Qiancheng's expression, it was not a good thing.

As Yun Qian was thinking, Xu Chang'an suddenly placed the remaining cucumber slice in front of her. She gently bit the cucumber slice, chewed, and swallowed.

His finger brushed past the tip of Yun Qian's nose. Xu Chang'an couldn't help but smile before continuing to cook seriously.

"Didn't the books say that gentlemen should stay away from the kitchen?" Yun Qian looked at Xu Chang'an's focused face and blinked. "You always cook for me. Is that good?"

"A gentleman keeps his distance from the kitchen?" Xu Chang'an thought for a moment and said, "I'm not a gentleman either."

Yun Qian nodded.

Xu Chang'an thought that a gentleman should be respectful on the outside but tenacious on the inside. He treated others with leniency and strictly disciplined himself. His brilliance was restrained and not obvious.

He did not look like a gentleman at all.

Not only was he lecherous, but his thoughts were also complicated and selfish. As a butler, he was far from being a gentleman.

The virtues of his hometown were kind and humble.

Xu Chang'an felt that it was already very impressive if he could be gentle.

It was also very difficult for him to be gentle. It was just like how he did not hesitate to use the Demon Expelling Talisman without any hesitation.

He was only so gentle in front of Yun Qian. In fact, when he went down the mountain to receive the Demon Slaying Token and even cleared the bandits' stronghold, he had always eliminated them completely. He would not give the other party any chance to turn the tables.

A gentleman should stay away from the kitchen. In essence, it was better not to see lives being killed. Someone could die, but not in front of him.

"Miss, do you suddenly think it's not good to kill?" Xu Chang'an asked.

"It doesn't matter." Yun Qian lowered her head and looked at her fair and slender hand. She picked up a cucumber slice from the chopping board and stuffed it into Xu Chang'an's mouth, not letting him speak again.

Killing?

He had really picked a good topic.

Yun Qian was targeting Li Mochou and Jiang Yuyan.

"I'm going to eat candied fruit." Yun Qian left the kitchen.

Xu Chang'an sighed as he watched Yun Qian turn around and leave.

She ran away after flirting. As expected of his Miss.

"Work hard on your cultivation."

Xu Chang'an felt that he had a long way to go to protect Yun Qian.

He had been raised by Yun Qian since he was young. How could he really be a docile and cowardly person?

Xu Chang'an sat down at the dining table.

Life required a sense of ritual. After he and Yun Qian finished this meal, they could mark this small courtyard as "home".

Yun Qian scooped some vegetables into her bowl.

Golden oil was splashed on the rice that was as clear as white jade. White, green, and yellow mixed together.

Immediately, a rich fragrance filled the air. The fragrance of the rice made Yun Qian's eyes light up as she began to eat.

His movements were elegant and slow.

"Miss, don't just eat." Xu Chang'an knocked his chopsticks on the table unhappily. "Speak."

"It tastes very good." Yun Qian lifted the black hair hanging by her ear.

It was not a perfunctory remark, but it was really delicious. The vegetables were crispy and delicious. Although it was simple, it had a wonderful taste when paired with rice.

Yun Qian thought for a long time and did not know how to describe it. If she had to describe it, it would probably be her husband's unique taste.

Xu Chang'an wanted to hear praise.

"Don't choke. Drink some soup." Seeing that Yun Qian was eating happily, Xu Chang'an pushed the small bowl in front of her.

In the bowl, thin oil floated on the surface, and the color was clear.

The golden egg flower was covered in red vegetables. Some green onions were stuck to the egg flower. Coupled with the sparkling white jade bowl, it was like a work of art.

Yun Qian picked up the bowl and put it down. "It's different from the food you made in Northern Mulberry City."

"I thought Miss only knew how to eat. It turns out that you can differentiate." Xu Chang'an smiled.

"The ingredients here are produced by Chaoyun Sect. Compared to the food in the mortal world, it has a faint spiritual energy… It's most suitable for people like Miss who haven't cultivated yet." Xu Chang'an explained, "This can let Miss's body adapt to spiritual power first, which is conducive to your future cultivation."

The ingredients provided for free were worlds apart from the pills used to cleanse the marrow, but they had a small effect. It was better than nothing.

… .

After dinner.

"Are you comfortable after eating?" Xu Changan asked.

Yun Qian held her slightly bulging stomach and said, "I'm comfortable."

Xu Chang'an blinked.

Sometimes, Yun Qian could really eat. It could only be said that her exquisite body made sense.

Being able to eat was a blessing, and being good at eating was wisdom. Yun Qian only needed to be responsible for eating. As for the complicated question of what to eat, she could leave it to him.

Xu Chang'an walked behind Yun Qian and took out a white ribbon. He tied it into a high ponytail behind the girl's head. The white ribbon was like a pair of rabbit ears.

"It's a little scary." Yun Qian shook her head and said.

She usually wore a low ponytail that naturally hung down. In Xu Chang'an's words, it was someone's wife's hairstyle. Of course, she would occasionally do a quail.

"I'm leaving," Xu Chang'an suddenly said.

No matter how good it was to be gentle, she could not be immersed in it forever.

"Go." Yun Qian waved at him naturally without any reluctance.

Wasn't it just changing to an empty room? She was already used to it.
