"Don't you want to know where I learned all these demonic arts?" Xiao Yi suddenly asked.
Mu Anxiao stopped before the table with the cutting board, picked up a date paste cake from the plate, and looked sideways at Xiao Yi, who was still cooking with demonic arts with her back to Mu Anxiao. "Didn't you say you just watched enough and learned it?" she said, taking a bite.
Xiao Yi lowered her eyes and smiled. "Each dish has a specific demonic art. Only by mastering the incantations of the demonic arts can delicious food be made," she said, casting a spell to transfer the stir-fried dishes from the pot into a plate beside her. "And the incantations for these demonic arts are actually things I stole."
"Stole?" Mu Anxiao was calm, popping the last bite of date paste cake into her mouth. "How did you steal them? Can you tell me?"
"I went to the place where books were kept... and stole some cooking books. One day," Xiao Yi said, putting down the spatula and turning to face Mu Anxiao, "I had just finished returning the books and was coming out when I met the master. Unexpectedly, as soon as I greeted the master, the Lord appeared. And just like that, I was expelled."
"Just for talking to Ouyang Ye?" Mu Anxiao was surprised. Although she didn't know why Xiao Yi was telling her these things, she was quite happy to hear Xiao Yi reveal these facts now.
"Mm."
"That woman really likes Ouyang Ye," Mu Anxiao sighed, wiping her hands on herself.
Xiao Yi smiled. "The master dislikes messy demons the most. You being so messy," she said, "and still being favored by the master is truly an unbelievable thing."
"That's because his eyes are blind," Mu Anxiao said faintly, leaning over to glance at the stir-fried vegetables on the plate, and smiled. "Can we eat now?"
"Yes."
"Do you have any steamed buns?" Mu Anxiao asked again.
Xiao Yi froze.
Mu Anxiao, seeing Xiao Yi's sudden stunned expression, looked confused. "What's wrong? Didn't you steam any buns?"
"Because of the limited time, I only managed to make these. If you want to eat them, I can..."
"No need, I'll just eat the pastries," Mu Anxiao interrupted, completely forgetting about the vine demon and the wolf demon. She reached out and picked up the plate of date paste cakes.
Xiao Yi smiled. "How do you think they taste?"
"Delicious. I'll just eat these. As for the dishes over there, you can eat them," Mu Anxiao said, glancing at the vine demon and the wolf demon who were just entering the kitchen.
Immediately, the wolf demon glanced at the plate in Mu Anxiao's hand and got angry. "What are you doing?" he asked, hurrying over to Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao frowned. "I have something to do."
"You're too selfish," the wolf demon said, pointing at the date paste cakes on the plate.
"How am I selfish? You've all eaten. So what?" Mu Anxiao shielded the plate with her body. "You want to snatch my date paste cakes, don't you?"
"Give me one." The wolf demon reached out to take one.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao freed one hand and forcefully swatted the wolf demon's claw, saying, "No, they're all mine."
"Mu Anxiao, you're too selfish, you..."
"Pah, pah, pah..." Mu Anxiao, too lazy to listen to the wolf demon, deliberately spat a few times onto the date paste cakes.
The wolf demon: "..." He couldn't believe Mu Anxiao would do such a disgusting thing and was petrified.
At the same time, the vine demon also saw this scene. "Mu Anxiao, you're too disgusting," he said, taking the chopsticks that Xiao Yi handed him.
Xiao Yi smiled.
Mu Anxiao snorted coldly. "They're all mine, and none of you are eating them." Saying this, she hugged the date paste cakes to her chest and walked around the wolf demon.
The wolf demon looked disgusted. "Too disgusting, you're too disgusting," he said, then turned to look at the vine demon and hurriedly said, "Vine demon, if you dare to do something so disgusting, I'm not done with you." Saying this, he ran towards the vine demon.
Hearing this, the vine demon immediately stopped picking up food, turned his head to look at the wolf demon, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not as disgusting as Mu Anxiao."
"You guys eat. I'm going to check my room," Xiao Yi said, taking off her apron and leaving.
Subsequently, after Xiao Yi left, the wolf demon whispered, "I'm so tired of eating bark. I haven't eaten normal food like this in a long time. You vine demon, what do you know?" Saying this, he grabbed food with his bare hands.
The vine demon saw this and immediately retracted his chopsticks, petrified...
At the same time, Xiao Yi stood outside the kitchen, looking at Mu Anxiao who was standing in the small vegetable garden, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao, while eating the date paste cakes, turned around to look at Xiao Yi who was walking towards her and said, "The vegetables here don't need watering."
"Yes, they all grow freely. After a certain number of years, some roots absorb the demonic energy from the air and cultivate into demons."
"Demons?" Mu Anxiao was surprised.
Xiao Yi smiled. "Slowly, you'll know everything."
"That's true," Mu Anxiao replied perfunctorily, glanced at the small room opposite, and asked, "Have you chosen a room yet?"
"This one next to the kitchen, so I can make delicious food for you every day."
"Okay, then I'll live in that big room."
" that room was meant for you to live in. If the master knew we let you live in a small room, he would probably..."
"Don't worry, I won't let him in," Mu Anxiao said, suddenly handing the plate to Xiao Yi...
Xiao Yi was surprised. "What do you want to do?" She stepped forward and took the plate.
"I don't like this place at all," Mu Anxiao said, rising into the air. Then... her eyes fixed, she rapidly changed her hand gestures, trying to set up a barrier here with demonic arts.
Xiao Yi looked up at the blue light emanating from Mu Anxiao's hands and shouted, "What are you doing?"
"Don't talk," Mu Anxiao said coldly, concentrating, and as she waved her hands in front of her, layers of light beams instantly spread out... enveloping the entire courtyard.
Xiao Yi was stunned.
Immediately, Mu Anxiao lowered her hands, looked around, and smiled. "Done." Saying this, she placed one hand behind her back and landed.
"You set up a barrier?" Xiao Yi asked.
Mu Anxiao replied with an 'mm', then casually took back the plate and said, "Don't worry, they won't find out." After finishing, she looked to both sides and walked towards the golden gate.
Xiao Yi lowered her eyelids.
Next, the vine demon and the wolf demon, with oily mouths, walked out of the kitchen and looked at Xiao Yi, who was standing stunned on the spot. "What's wrong? Where's Mu Anxiao?" the wolf demon asked, moving ahead of Xiao Yi to stand behind her.
The vine demon stopped beside the wolf demon.
"She went to the back door," Xiao Yi said, turning around with a mournful look towards the vine demon and the wolf demon.
