The group's favorite junior sister returns to save the whole family of resentful villains

In the morning, the sky breaks.

Ji Qingzhou returned to Wenxiu City, but did not rush back to the inn. Instead, he planned to buy some local breakfast and give it to the chatting crowd to taste.

"When Ji Qiuyu gets better, I will send him back to the Spirit Beast Sect. When I have time, I will cook for you."

Ji Qingzhou still remembered that when he was in the secret realm of Wen Mansion, the chat group monster was planning to go to that place shrouded by evil spirit and do something.

She had to prepare enough food to ensure that the monsters were not eroded by evil spirits.

Rebellious little black bug: "Food, delicious! I haven't eaten Xiaohong's cooking for a long time!"

Bald Chicken: "I haven't eaten for a few days. Look how greedy you are."

Rebellious little black bug: "I don't believe you're not greedy! You always peek at me when I'm chewing on the teether, I know you want to eat it!"

Bald Chicken: "...That's because the sound of you chewing on cookies is so torturous!"

Listening to the two demons' quarrel, Ji Qingzhou curled her lips. When she came to the morning market, she wanted to take a look at the roadside stalls.

“… Immortal?!”

A female voice came from the front, sounding surprised.

Ji Qingzhou looked up and saw a round-faced woman in dark blue cloth looking at her with wide eyes, her eyes full of surprise.

"Mingzhu?" Ji Qingzhou recognized the woman at the first sight.

"You, you still remember me?!"

The round-faced woman was extremely surprised. She trotted forward, carrying a basket of vegetables, and stopped two steps in front of Ji Qingzhou. She wanted to get closer, but seemed embarrassed.

She looked at Ji Qingzhou's face, then blushed and lowered her head as if she didn't dare to look directly at him. After two seconds, she couldn't help but look again, and lowered her head again.

Ji Qingzhou chuckled and said, "Do you want to talk somewhere else? There are too many people here, and if we stand in the middle of the road, it will disturb others."

"Does the Immortal have time?"

Mingzhu was even more surprised when she heard this, "Then, why don't you come to my shop and have a seat?"

As she said this, she couldn't wait to lead Ji Qingzhou.

Ji Qingzhou followed her, buying some hot snacks as he walked and plugged them into the chat group, casually chatting: "You opened a store?"

Mingzhu saw that she always bought food and was hesitant to talk.

When Mingzhu heard Ji Qingzhou ask her, she finally found an opportunity. She immediately straightened her chest and said cheerfully, "I opened a restaurant!"

Ji Qingzhou saw that her face was full of "seeking praise" and smiled at her: "That's not easy, you're already a boss."

"Well! It was tiring at the beginning. I had to entertain customers and do the accounting, busy from morning till night every day. The cook saw that the business was getting better and became more ambitious. He ran out to work on his own without even saying goodbye. I almost couldn't do it anymore, so I simply closed the store temporarily and went out to look for a suitable cook. I was busy for three months..."

Mingzhu recounted the hardships she had encountered since opening the store, chattering along, "Now it's all good. After a year, the cook I found later became as close to me as a sister. She only likes to work in the kitchen and leaves everything else to me. My parents also moved their grocery store near my restaurant, and they come to help out when there's no business... right there!"

She raised her hand and pointed forward.

The two walked to a busy street near the morning market.

Mingzhu pointed to a two-story building with warm decoration and said proudly: "This is my restaurant!"

There was a plaque hanging on the small building with "Mingzhu Restaurant" written on it.

At this time, the restaurant door was open, but there was no sign of welcoming customers.

When Ji Qingzhou got closer, he saw a sign next to the door, which said "Open at noon, close at 11:00 p.m."

Mingzhu explained, "My restaurant doesn't serve breakfast now, but I have an old customer who has been taking care of my business since I opened the shop. He comes to eat here every morning."

She lifted the basket in her hand and said with a smile, "It's all thanks to her. Usually, the vegetable vendors deliver vegetables to my door, but today I went to the morning market and happened to meet you, Immortal... Come in quickly, Immortal, you haven't eaten yet, I'll ask the chef to make you a meal."

"My Immortal, I haven't seen you since we parted two years ago. Now that we meet by chance, I don't know if I will have the chance to see you again in this life."

Mingzhu was afraid that Ji Qingzhou would refuse, so she hurriedly said, "Since I opened this restaurant, I have dreamed of meeting you and cooking for you. Not only to repay you, but also to tell you that I am doing well now."

That year, she thought she had met the man she could entrust her life to, so she didn't care about his poor family and married into his family.

But who could have imagined that on the day of her wedding in that small mountain village, she encountered an unimaginable nightmare.

If Ji Qingzhou hadn't shown up and rescued her from those hungry men, she would have really wanted to die!

"Immortal, you stopped me from hitting my head against the wall that day and gave me a chance to live. I had nightmares all the time at first. Occasionally I woke up from the dream and couldn't help crying. I wondered if I had made the wrong decision, but I didn't have the courage to die again. I didn't dare to think about what would happen to my parents if I died."

When Mingzhu said this, there was no trace of gloom on her face. Instead, she showed a cheerful smile: "But now, I don't want to think about those things at all! The business every day is busy enough. When I count the money at night, I will laugh. How can I be unhappy or regretful and want to die?"

She looked at Ji Qingzhou and smiled brightly: "Thank you, Immortal!"

As Mingzhu spoke, she tried every means to bring Ji Qingzhou into the house.

"I just did the smallest little thing."

Seeing Mingzhu's enthusiasm, Ji Qingzhou couldn't refuse. She followed Mingzhu into the restaurant and said, "The one you should really thank is yourself."

"I usually treat myself very well, but I just haven't had the chance to thank you."

Mingzhu now no longer saw the fear and despair of that night. She asked Ji Qingzhou to sit down, and ran to the kitchen with the vegetable basket, shouting to Ji Qingzhou: "My god, wait a moment, it will be ready soon!"

She looked so impatient, as if she was afraid that Ji Qingzhou would run away if she was any later.

Ji Qingzhou had extraordinary hearing and could hear Mingzhu's "clacking" sound of running, as well as her conversation with the cook in the kitchen.

Mingzhu: "Cuihua! Quick, prepare all the delicious food you are best at in your life for me! Regular customer? No, no, no, it's not her, it's the immortal! My great benefactor! The person I admire the most! Yes, yes, that's the one I always tell you about! Hey, hey, hey, why are you running away? Do you want to go see what the immortal looks like too? Stop right there, cook for me first! When the immortal eats later, I'll take you to watch secretly! Why should I peek too? How can I be embarrassed to stay next to her! She is so beautiful, I can't take my eyes off her every time I look at her, if she finds out, how can I have the face... Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll take you to watch secretly later, now cook the food, I'll help you wash and cut the vegetables!"

Ji Qingzhou laughed softly. Fortunately Mingzhu didn't know that the monk had extraordinary hearing.

If Mingzhu knew that they would have the chance to meet again, she probably wouldn't dare to come and say hello to her again, right?

Ji Qingzhou pretended not to know what Mingzhu had said to the cook.

When Mingzhu brought the delicious dishes to the table and used the excuse of going to the back to help the cook clean up, Ji Qingzhou also nodded as if he knew nothing.

Yeah, yes, yes, you went to clean the back.

Didn't you bring your cook sister to watch me from behind the crack in the door? The two of them were whispering and praising me.

I don't know anything.

...Hmm? This dish smells really good!

Ji Qingzhou was eating and he really forgot that someone was watching him.

A meal for both the guest and the host.
