Cheat Cultivator's Ascension

After this response from the immortal-like young man, the giggling from the ladies starts again, the ones starting this wave of entertained heavenly melodies being the black-haired motherly beauty as she looks at the stupefied expression of the scholarly beauty due to her dear son's response.

The laughter last for a while before they settle down, the beauties currently talking among themselves in the living room as the immortal-like young man volunteers to prepare their meals all by himself, his entire being quite focused on the meal that he didn't even notice when the scholarly beauty arrives, standing just right beside him and watching him cook.

"Will this change our relation, Fellow Daoist Su?" Dao Xuanyuan asked with a hint of worry in her voice as she feels like she is about to lose the connection she forged with this young man, a connection that was spontaneously, yet solidly created due to the two of them clashing their weapons against each other, their intents also grinding and tempering one another as they do so.

"The only thing that I can see changing is the way we address each other, Sister Xuanyuan, since we found out that my mother and your master are sworn sisters for a long time now…" Su Xiaotian replies with a smile on his handsome face as he directed his attention towards the beauty clearly worried about his response, causing said beauty to feel assured as she looks at his face with a hint of flushed color on her own face.

"B-but I am a woman…" she added, not knowing why she thinks like that but just feels like she had to clarify, the response of the one she is talking with causing her to look at him at an even brighter light.

"What does it have to do with anything? If you think that I judge people base on gender, then you're gravely mistaken about me, Sister Xuanyuan…" Su Xiaotian replies with a serious look on his face before he leans in towards the scholarly beauty, his serious, seemingly angry expression causing her to flinch as she takes a step back, feeling like she offends him somehow because of her words.

Before she could even offer an apology to him though, the expressions on his face changes to that of an amiable one as he continues his words, "I judge based on how much a person pisses me off, and if they do… well, let's just say they won't end well" the immortal-like young man joked as he signed one of his hand slashing on his throat, his act causing the scholarly beauty to feel so confused causing her to just stand stiff on her current position, before she starts exploding in an uncontrolled laughter.

With her melodious, beautiful voice spreading through the air around the kitchen, the immortal-like young man couldn't help but appreciate her more, the same thing happening to the scholarly beauty's mind as she appreciates him because of his words, feeling like a great friendship far more than just sparring partners is about to be laid in front of them.

"How about you Sister Xuanyuan, how do you judge people?" feeling like the scholarly beauty already eases up on him somehow, Su Xiaotian adeptly asked, his words sparking the desire to talk in the beauty's heart, causing her to start opening her mouth as she begins telling him all sorts of things about herself.

"By character, and to some extent, by their talents as well…." she explained seriously as she watches the young man returning to his position and continues his cooking, the scent from the food he is preparing permeating in the air and causing her to salivate a bit, despite the fact that he is not even halfway done with the dishes he is currently preparing.

"What a coincidence, that is also how I judge people!" Su Xiaotian replies in a gleeful tone as he throws some sort of condiments and spices on top of the seafood he is currently sauteing, the aroma of said condiments and spices wafting through the air as its steam evaporates from the heat of the pan, making the scholarly beauty more and more curious to just how good the food will taste.

Despite most of her attention being focused towards the food though, she just couldn't help but notice what he just said, completely opposing his previous claims on how he judges people, his most previous words causing her to roll her eyes at him as she asks.

"Didn't you just said that you judge people based on how much they piss you off?" she asks while pointing out his previous words, causing him to laugh as if he heard a good joke from her words.

"Judging people is an enumeration type question, right? I can add as much thing as a want and it will be a correct answer…" he replied, causing the two of them to look at each other for quite an awkward amount of moment before they finally find themselves laughing, feeling quite stupid for having such conversation yet also feeling like they got more closer because of it, this short and simple, silly conversation making the scholarly beauty feel like there really isn't a change that happened between the two of them because of her true identity being revealed.

"Then I will go back to master and the others first, Brother Xiaotian~" she said with a gleeful tone in her voice after they finished joking around for a bit more, prompting the immortal-like young man to nod at her as he continues cooking, the dishes already about to be served as he is just adding some finishing touches on some of them.

'This life is really good' as he thinks of how easygoing his life has been for the past few weeks, even months, the immortal-like young man couldn't help but feel like this is the bliss he is always thinking about whenever he dreams of enjoying his life with his loved ones, causing him to feel even more determined to work harder on his cultivation in order for him to protect every single person, places and thing that is important to him.

'I won't let any single bad thing happen to anyone' with the previous thoughts appearing in his mind, he starts seeing visions of his lovers, his own family and friends, looking at him with such joy on their faces, making him all the more aware that he has so much to lose now, and he has so much work to do in order to not let that happen.

Dispelling these thoughts on his mind though after deciding that he will work even harder than he already do, he starts bringing the dishes to the dining table as he shouts towards the ladies that the dinner is already prepared completely, prompting the beauties currently resting on the living room to come and assist him in setting the dining table up, all of them talking and joking around harmoniously causing the table to be arranged in no time, with the foods releasing its unparalleled, mouth-watering fragrance, causing the beauties to want nothing more than to have a taste of the food made by the sole man in the group.
