Xiao Jingting brought the honeyed bear paw to Xiao Xiaofan, who took a deep breath with an intoxicated expression, “It smells so good.”
Xiao Xiaojin looked at Xiao Xiaofan and asked, “Second brother, did you guys go out to fight the demonic beast?”
Xiao Xiaofan nodded and said, “Yes!”
“By the way, I heard from big brother that you have some strange bugs, where did you get them?”
While eating meat, Xiao Xiaofan said vaguely, “Inside the sect, there is a hot fire cave and it’s very hot inside. I would be sometimes driven inside this cave by the sect elder, but it’s very boring to cultivate. So when I found some insects in the cave, I raised them.”
Xiao Jingting touched his chin and said, “So, these insects live in the magma.”
Xiao Xiaofan nodded and said, “Yes!”
Xiao Xiaojin blinked and said, “That sounds interesting! Second Brother, share two of them with me to play with.”
Xiao Jingting looked helplessly at Xiao Xiaojin and said, “Don’t be ridiculous, are they something that can be played with casually? Your second brother is a single fire spiritual root, so he can touch that thing, but if you touch this thing, you will be easily backfired.”
Xiao Xiaojin nodded and said, “Okay.”
“Xiaofan, is that bug of yours easy to raise?” Xiao Jingting asked.
Xiao Xiaofan nodded and said, “It’s easy to raise. Just throw them into the magma. Father, there are fire spirit stones under that lava. However, it’s hard to mine but as long as I put these bugs down, they will go to chew on those spirit stones by themselves.”
“That’s good. Since it’s so easy to raise, you can try to raise more, it will not be a loss,” Xiao Jingting said.
Xiao Xiaofan nodded and said, “I think so, too.”
Xu Muan, “…”

Xie Wanran walked on the stone steps and watched Xiao Xiaodong and Chen Xu walking together talking and laughing.
“Isn’t that Chen Xu?” Xie Wanran said.
“Yes! That’s Young Master Chen.”
Xie Wanran looked at Xiao Xiaodong beside Chen Xu and her eyes shrank a bit. Xiao Xiaodong’s chick ate her green feather swallow. Although Xie Wanran did not show it, she was very dissatisfied in her heart. At this moment, seeing Xiao Xiaodong and Chen Xu walking together, Xie Wanran could not help feeling a little annoyed.
“Chen Xu is not having a crush on Xiao Xiaodong, right?” Xie Wanran said.
Zhu Jin nodded and said, “It’s possible. It seems that ever since his trip to the mine, Chen Xu is very fond of Xiao Xiaodong.” Chen Xu looked naive but because of his identity, he was also very defensive. He was not easy to get close to, so it could be said that Xiao Xiaodong picked up a bargain.
“Qiao Xiang came after him. It can be seen that the Peerless sect has not yet given up on this marriage,” Xie Wanran said thoughtfully.
Zhu Jin smiled bitterly and said, “It is impossible for the Peerless Sect to give up.”
Xie Wanran nodded and thought: That’s right! Qiao Xiang’s marriage is not his own business.
“However, with Xiao Xiaodong and Chen Xu getting so close, it will not be easy for Qiao Xiang to make it happen.” Zhu Jin said.
Xie Wanran nodded and said, “Indeed!”
Xie Wanran looked at Xiao Xiaodong and couldn’t help thinking about Xiao Jingting. She could see that Xiao Jingting was completely one of Qiu Yun’s people, following him everywhere and make things difficult for her. If Xiao Jingting’s son and Chen Xu really got together, Xiao Jingting would only be prouder.
……
Inside Xiao Jingting’s cave.
Xiao Xiaojin stood on a stool cooking, while Mu Yun stood aside holding the jade slips, recording something from time to time.
Qiu Yun felt that Xiao Jingting was too idle if he still had the time to teach Mu Yun how to cook, so he gave Xiao Jingting additional tasks.
Xiao Jingting could only work overtime and the responsibility of teaching Mu Yun how to cook fell on Xiao Xiaojin, who although still young, already had the style of a chef.
Chen Xu looked at Xiao Xiaojin standing on the stool, wielding a spatula and concentrating on cooking as he explained the cooking process to Mu Yun. He spoke full of admiration, “Your younger brother is really awesome!”
Xiao Xiaodong laughed bitterly and said, “This is the only thing he could do well.”
Chen Xu looked at Mu Yun and whispered to Xiao Xiaodong, saying, “Senior Mu is learning so seriously!”
Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “Yes!”
“I heard that senior Mu is learning this for the sake of steward Qiu from Green Cloud Immortal Sect,” Chen Xu said.
Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “It seems to be so.”
It was said that Mu Yun had made several meals for Steward Qiu, but unfortunately, Steward Qiu didn’t appreciate it very much and overturned the table every time. However, senior Mu was persistent and persevering and after being rejected time after time, he still had a good attitude.
Mu Yun was calm, but Xie Wanran, who was close to Mu Yun, took up the cudgels against the injustice done to Mu Yun. Unfortunately, no matter how Xie Wanran felt for Mu Yun, Qiu Yun still did what he wanted to do.
