Chapter 6, Cooking

Thus, as if guided by an unseen force, Murong Liuyue nodded.

Hehe, alright, I am going to prepare dinner for my brothers. Are the brothers coming to help their sister? Murong Yubing's smile remained sweet as she playfully winked at Murong Liuye.

Murong Yubing suddenly became excited upon seeing the corn, spinach, and other vegetables laid out on the vegetable table, and her voice calling out to Murong Liuye involuntarily grew louder

She placed the bag on the sofa and Murong Yubing went upstairs to change into the loungewear she had purchased online last night

Liu Yun! Murong Liu Ye also came out upon hearing this, glaring at Murong Liu Yun with displeasure. Although Murong Liu Ye is ranked fourth, he is only a few minutes younger than Murong Liu Yun, so there is really no distinction between who is older and who is younger.

"My brother and I can manage on our own; you all can leave work now," Murong Yubing said with a sweet smile as she waved to them and went inside by herself

When Murong Liubing and Murong Liuxue returned, it was just at dusk when the sun had lowered halfway. Murong Liuyun was lazily sitting on the sofa and, seeing them, weakly waved a hand in their direction.

Seeing the disbelief of the two, Murong Liuyun snorted disdainfully and said: "That guy, the fourth one, has been bewitched by a vixen and is running around like a fool doing her bidding. Remember, when it comes time to eat, make sure to check for poison first, so you won't die without knowing how."

When Murong Liuye came to his senses, he regretted it immensely, thinking to himself that he must have been out of his mind! How could he have suggested making vegetable porridge? Please, he didn't even know what vegetable porridge was! Looking at the busy figure of Murong Yubing, who was completely engrossed in her work, he felt too embarrassed to tell her that he couldn't make it. There was no other choice; Murong Liuye rubbed his temples and decided to go seek advice from Old Yang.

"Brother, could you make me some vegetable porridge?" Murong Yubing's eyes were very bright, especially at this moment, they shone even more, looking at Murong Liuye with a hint of expectation, sparkling like a rainbow, making it hard for one to resist being captivated.

"Alright, I am quite looking forward to what Xiaobing will create." Murong Liuye raised his eyebrows; although he had never cooked before, he had seen pigs run and had eaten pork, so he probably knew what needed to be done.

Murong Yubing listened to Murong Liuyun's words, her smile becoming somewhat stiff, with a hint of dimness in her eyes. She did not understand why Liuyun hated her so much. Even though the other three did not necessarily like her, they would not so overtly express their disdain for her. ... It was precisely because of this that she could maintain her composure while presenting the side she wished to show them...

Although Murong Liuyun's blatant disdain hurt her somewhat, she was, after all, a person who had lived two lives, and she quickly adjusted her emotions to prepare the final dish

In the presence of such an angelic face, anyone would hesitate to speak loudly, let alone a man. Yet, there happens to be an unappreciative and unromantic man...

Murong Liunye concealed his expression, smiling brightly: "Xiao Bing, you are becoming more and more charming as you grow up. I almost got lost in your beautiful eyes, you know." His words were laced with teasing, yet there was a hint of darkness in his eyes, making it difficult to discern the truth behind his words

"Brother Liuxue, Brother Liubing, you are back! We will be able to eat soon." Murong Yubing's half body peeked out from the kitchen as she smiled and said to them

Even the usually unflappable Murong Liubing, who remained composed in the face of a calamity as great as Mount Tai collapsing before him, could not help but glance at Murong Liuyun. Was the fourth brother, who always wore an innocent angelic smile even while killing, going to cook porridge? He suspected that this might be some new method of murder he had devised, perhaps laced with seven-step poison or rat poison, the enhanced version.

Changing clothes is akin to changing one’s persona, exemplified by Murong Yubing. She sheds her black bodysuit as if discarding an aura of enchanting mystery, and dons a light blue loungewear that envelops her in a veil of sweet delicacy, as if she is perpetually exuding a fragrant sweetness. Murong Liuye cannot help but fix his gaze upon her, wondering how he had never noticed before that this sister of his possesses such captivating beauty.

Um! Murong Yubing nodded emphatically in excitement, then turned around to attend to her own matters

In proportion to the size of Murong Fortress, the kitchen of the Murong family is also quite large, with a cold storage room for preserving meat and vegetables that is as spacious as a small bedroom in an ordinary household. It is stocked with a wide variety of meats and vegetables, truly offering everything one could need

Hehe... Looking at Murong Liuyue's somewhat dazed expression, Murong Yubing couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Brother, what's wrong? Is this outfit of mine very strange?" Her clear big eyes blinked, as if they could captivate one's soul.

That works, but I must clarify in advance that I don't know much; I only know a few things. I can only say that they are edible and cannot be considered delicious

"Look, do you understand what’s going on? Or should we just order takeout? Or go out for a meal and come back?" Murong Liuyun cast a disdainful glance at Murong Yubing

The chefs were taken aback; although they had never seen the so-called Miss Seven, they had heard numerous rumors about her. How could it be that all those rumors were lies? This person appeared neither timid nor cowardly, nor inept. Where was the soft persimmon that could be squeezed at will? Fortunately, they had not foolishly sought to stir up trouble and had kept to themselves; otherwise, they would not have known how they might meet their end one day.

"Cloud, has the night returned?" Murong Liuxue maintained his usual gentle demeanor, but there was a hint of warmth in his cold eyes.

"Elder brother, second brother, Xiaobing has already prepared everything, so there is no need to trouble ourselves by going out again. It is also a good opportunity to test our sister's culinary skills," she said, raising a beautiful, sunny smile as she looked at Murong Liubing and Murong Liuxue

Oh, the fourth brother is asking Old Yang how to make vegetable porridge. As he spoke, he did not hide the disdain in his tone

Standing at the kitchen door is the new head chef who started today, while the previous one was dismissed on the very first day that Murong Yubing arrived. Behind the head chef stand three assistant chefs, all observing quietly. Murong Yubing cannot help but recall the servants from noble families in ancient times, realizing that those who wish to enter the Murong family must possess a certain level of quality.

The two individuals walked towards the kitchen while conversing

"Hmm? What’s wrong?" Why did I feel a tingling sensation when I just heard her call his name, as if an electric current was coursing through every vein? I couldn’t help but look at Murong Yubing with a hint of confusion

What is going on

Hmm? What is going on? Murong Liuxue asked uncertainly, not knowing if he had misheard, as he actually heard Murong Liuyun say that Murong Liuye was going to make vegetable porridge, which was truly unprecedented and hard to believe

"Hehe, well then, let's give our sister Yubing's culinary skills a try," Murong Liuxue agreed. The other two naturally had nothing more to say, but Murong Liuyun still pouted and shot a disdainful glare at Murong Yubing.
