Chapter 39: Even Peppa Shakes Its Head
“No wonder I slept so well. Turns out…”
Wu Chi took a deep breath, feeling a wave of relaxation wash over him.
Two distinct fragrances lingered in his nose,
bringing him immense comfort.
Hearing Lin Daiyu’s words, he couldn’t help but glance at her.
Her stunning face, capable of toppling kingdoms, now bore a faintly teasing expression.
Her captivating eyes blinked softly,
her delicate nose framed beneath slightly pursed lips—
utterly enchanting.
Her hair, unbound this time, flowed freely down her back,
a ribbon draped over her slender arm, swaying gently.
Lin Daiyu, sharp-tongued as ever, continued, “You’re quite the reckless one. Can’t you rest properly in the hut? Given how close we’ve been through life and death, sharing a bed shouldn’t be a big deal.”
“If you catch a cold, you’ll be the one suffering, not us.”
Upon hearing this,
Wu Chi felt a warmth in his heart. He gently wrapped an arm around her slender waist, whispering, “It’s fine. We’re within the territory. It’s not that easy to fall ill.”
Her waist was soft and delicate,
and Wu Chi had no intention of letting go once he held her.
Lin Daiyu’s face flushed. She shot him a glare and stood up. “It’s already past nine, and the monster tide hasn’t arrived yet. I’ll go prepare.”
“Wait!”
Wu Chi snapped out of it and asked, “Have you two eaten?”
“Not yet!”
Both women shook their heads.
Seeing this,
Wu Chi smiled mysteriously. “You should know this building is a canteen, but it’s not your ordinary canteen!”
“What’s so different? Can it sprout flowers?”
Lin Daiyu tilted her eyes, looking adorable.
Wu Chi, eager to showcase his years of single-life culinary skills,
asked them to sit down,
then headed to the kitchen, pulling out prepared ingredients and seasonings to start cooking!
Before long,
two dishes—one meat, one vegetable—along with a soup and a pot of rice were ready.
He served them with a smile. “Come, try Wu the Great Chef’s cuisine!”
“You can cook, Young Master?”
Qin Keqing’s eyes widened in surprise.
Wu Chi chuckled. “I know a little.”
On the table:
braised pork, stir-fried greens, and fish head tofu soup!
The highlight?
All three dishes glowed!
“Glowing dishes? Can cooking reach a divine level?”
The two women were stunned.
Wu Chi’s confidence soared, and with a grand gesture, he handed them chopsticks.
“Ladies, please enjoy!”
“Thank you, Young Master!”
Blushing slightly, Qin Keqing gracefully accepted the chopsticks,
cautiously sampling the food.
Lin Daiyu gave Wu Chi a glance, said nothing, and took her chopsticks to taste.

Wu Chi eagerly asked, “How is it? Tastes good, right?”
“It’s delicious.”
Qin Keqing’s face turned rosy, her soft voice like a gentle caress in Wu Chi’s heart.
“Young Master, I often cooked for my adoptive mother at home. If you permit, I could take over kitchen duties.”
“Sure, whatever.”
Wu Chi waved it off, then looked at Lin Daiyu.
Her expression remained calm, but she suddenly smiled warmly. “Young Master, why not let Peppa try it?”
“Peppa? Why would a wild boar need to taste it?”
Wu Chi froze.
Lately,
the wild boars had been eating regular grains and weren’t starving.
Lin Daiyu’s laughter rang like silver bells.
“Even wild boars would pity you. They wouldn’t dare touch this food.”
Wu Chi: “…”
Lin Daiyu, you’re dead!
However, Wu Chi didn’t get to “teach her a lesson” as the monster tide had finally arrived!
Under the cover of darkness, the glowing territory stood like a beacon,
guiding the monsters.
At last,
with the thunderous roars of defense towers,
terrifying monsters emerged from the fog!
These weren’t like those from the afternoon. The new batch was vast,
each resembling bipedal lizards covered in bone armor with two bone spikes on their shoulders.
From all directions,
they surged like a tidal wave!
“Prepare for battle!”
Standing on the wooden wall,
Wu Chi commanded, donning the True Sight Lens.
“Identify!”
