A black shadow flashed in.
As fast as lightning, before Jiang Ling could react, the person was standing in front of him.
The man had white eyebrows, white hair, and a long beard. He had crane hair and a childlike face. He was dressed in gray clothes, but he looked like an immortal.
"Little girl, this is a good craftsmanship." The old man was really surprised when he saw Jiang Ling's appearance, but he quickly returned to normal.
A pair of old and clear eyes stared straight at the boiled fish in the pot, and the spicy smell made him swallow his saliva.
This was the first time he had seen such delicious food.
Of course, he had been back for several days, but he didn't show up, deliberately observing this overly beautiful female from the sidelines.
As a result, the other party's performance really opened his eyes.
He didn't expect that a female would actually possess the abilities of an orc.
If this matter were to spread, I am afraid it would cause shock to the whole world, but at the same time, the amazing and beautiful female in front of me would also be spied on by countless orcs.
Then the peaceful life she wants is just a pipe dream.
Although a female with such a heart is not a beast, she is a good seed for him to teach him the way of beasts.
He decided to accept her as his direct disciple because of her cooking skills, no, her understanding.
When Jiang Ling saw the other party staring at the boiled fish in the pot with a coveted look, she knew what the other party had planned.
Just go with the flow.
"Senior, this is the boiled fish that this junior has just made. I don't know how it tastes. Senior, would you like to try it?" Jiang Ling said in a polite tone.
But the old man would not be polite to the other party. This house belonged to him, and Jiang Ling was his recognized apprentice.
What happened if the master ate something from the apprentice? Isn't that natural?
"Okay." The old man took the bowl and chopsticks handed over by Jiang Ling and ate quickly.
After taking this bite, he felt like he had become a joke when he traveled all over the country and ate all kinds of delicacies.
Even the royal chef in the palace is nothing more than this.
Fortunately, he is back. Otherwise, losing such a good apprentice would be a loss for him?
"only……"
"Ah?" Jiang Ling looked curiously at the old man who was about to speak.
The old man quickly stopped and tried to become more approachable and kind.
"Little girl, what's your name? Where do you live? But do you have any relatives?" Seeing how capable she is, ordinary families can't raise her. Let alone aristocratic families, I can't find anyone who can farm and work.
That strength is comparable to that of an orc.
The more I look at this child, the more curious and distressed I become.
You have to know who is willing to let a female like Jiang Ling suffer such pain, let alone let her work in the fields?
What a sin!
Jiang Ling considered it carefully and replied cautiously: "My name is Jiang Ling. There is only one grandpa in the family."
The old man imagined in his mind the miserable scene of a female who was harshly criticized by her family and was dependent on her grandfather, and he suddenly felt heartbroken.
Seeing the distressed look of the other party, Jiang Ling realized that the other party might have misunderstood her.
"Senior, my grandfather and I are actually living a pretty good life. We farm and work on our own, support ourselves, and live quite comfortably. Today's orc dynasty has a clear political system, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Although they are not rich and powerful, they still have plenty of food and clothing. "Jiang Ling looked sincere. When we came to this world, we were materially poor and not as good as in future generations, but we were spiritually rich.
But if one is poor even in spirit, then it is called real poverty.
The old man looked at Jiang Ling's calm and clear eyes, and his suspicions were instantly relieved.
There was a trace of appreciative smile on his face.
"Haha, you little girl lives a more transparent life than this old man like me." A trace of relief flashed in the old man's deep eyes.
The knot that had accumulated in my chest all these years was completely let go at this moment.
"It's always happy to be content." Jiang Ling smiled.
"Well said! Contentment is always a joy! Come and eat with us!" The old man happily greeted Jiang Ling to eat together.
But before the old man could take a few bites, the boiled fish was gone.
The old man touched his belly with a look of regret on his face, "It's a little less."
"Senior, please wait. We can cook hot pot and eat it. It has a different taste."
Although the old man had never heard of hot pot and didn't know what it was, he knew it was delicious when he heard it.
Jiang Ling was going to make a sour soup with tomatoes, so she used boiled fish soup as the base.
She picked vegetables such as leeks, winter melon, and cowpeas from the yard, washed them, cut them, and brushed them in a pot. There are also plump fish cut into fillets and brushed together.
The old man couldn't stop eating.
The movement was fast and elegant, and Jiang Ling was amazed.
Looking at the other party's behavior, Jiang Ling had a plan in mind. It can be seen that the old man has a good family background and is a member of the family.
After eating and drinking enough, the old man touched his belly with a satisfied look on his face.
After eating, I sat down on the lounge chair and crossed my legs, which was very comfortable.
Jiang Ling, on the other hand, cleaned up the dishes and started doing housework.
"Senior, may I ask your name?" Jiang Ling asked curiously while cleaning the yard.
"Xiao Ling, don't be so arrogant, just call me master. Haven't you seen my name? My surname is Xiao, and it only has the Chinese character Kai."
Jiang Ling was in disbelief, "But it didn't say, 'At the age of twenty-two, I feel physically weak and it's the end of my life...'"
Xiao Qi interrupted the other party's words and replied with a smile: "At that time, I was obsessed with it. I really felt that my time was running out, so I wrote my last chapter. But I didn't expect that I survived and successfully advanced to the beast path. It was an accident. Such joy. At the moment of life and death, people always look back on the past."
When Xiao Qi said this, a trace of sadness flashed in his vicissitudes of life. He paused for a moment and continued, "I have the idea of going out for a walk, to see old friends from the past, or to see what is in the outside world. Big changes. I have been away for three years. In these three years, I have traveled all over the world and eaten delicious food all over the world."
"Then whose skeleton I buried belongs to?" Jiang Ling was surprised.
"An orc who broke in here innocently." Xiao Qi smiled slightly, "Xiao Ling is really kind-hearted. This guy can be considered to have a safe place to live, and he can have a good pregnancy in his next life."
Xiao Chen became more and more satisfied when he saw Jiang Ling. He was kind-hearted and intelligent, and it was indeed rare to keep his true heart.
If it were another female with such an outstanding appearance, I'm afraid it would be a different story.
"Is there anyone else breaking in?" Jiang Ling suddenly thought of another thing. Xiao Qin can come and go freely, so he naturally knows the terrain here.
"Isn't that true? This is the abyss of evil beasts, and outsiders dare not set foot there easily. But don't forget, there is a snow lotus here, which is extremely valuable. Those orcs who want to please the nobles or seek benefits will naturally want to take it." When Xiao Qi said this, a stern look flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Ling was shocked. Didn't they come here just for the Blood Red Lotus?
Should she tell the truth? The problem is that she doesn't know the other person's true background.
