Chapter 137 Playing the Flute
Jiang Huai diligently started making fish slice porridge in the kitchen.
The fish slice porridge wasn’t complicated. Jiang Huai had expertly sliced the Snow Spirit Fish, while the bones were fried to a golden hue to make fish broth. After filtering out the bones, he used the broth to cook the porridge, then added the marinated fish slices to boil until cooked. The fish slices were tender and smooth, the porridge base was fresh, fragrant, and soft, and with a few sprinkles of chopped green onion, the dish looked especially appealing.
There were also a few small dishes on the side, containing fried peanuts, golden beans, and some pickled vegetables.
“There’s too much to finish, take the leftovers to Wen Wanwan,” he said.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xianning took the initiative to bring up this matter. Jiang Huai was momentarily stunned, then nodded lightly and casually asked, “What does Master think of Wanwan?”
“More diligent than you.”
Jiang Huai was momentarily lost for words. Chu Xianning drank the last spoonful of porridge and then took out the Dragon Blood Elixir that Jiang Huai had given her earlier and swallowed one.
After taking the Dragon Blood Elixir, she felt a slight, indescribable heat in her body. Jiang Huai, carrying the food container, left the courtyard, while Chu Xianning went to the bathhouse. She shed her clothes and immersed her pale body in the cold pool water, slightly easing the heat.
She vaguely felt something strange about her body, as if the Dragon Blood Elixir had also triggered the monthly drawback of her Flower Spirit Body. She brought her fingertip to her lips and bit it lightly, the slight pain helping her regain some clarity.
Soon she stepped out of the bathhouse and started practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard. Jiang Huai returned a bit late because he had spent some time chatting with Wen Wanwan.
As he opened the door, he was cautious, worrying that his master might lash out at him in a fit of emotion due to the Dragon Blood Elixir. What if she used the excuse of him entering the courtyard with his left foot first to beat him up?
