Douluo, Qingmei Qianrenxue, Opening with Soul Ring Changing to Soul Vein 29

Chapter 29: It Wants to Sleep with You

Qian Renxue nodded:

“That’s true, I heard that old people like to collect things. Maybe it’s Grandpa Ju’s treasured collection.” (Grandpa Ju refers to the character Ju Douluo, a powerful elder.)

Lin Feng’s lips curled into a slight smile. He pondered in his heart, it couldn’t possibly be what I think, right? Watching porn together, huh? Truly worthy of being best buddies. (The implication is that they might be looking at adult images together; “塞图” is a slang term referring to pornography.)

“Speaking of Lingyuan Jie, where is she?”

Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes slightly, pointing towards the kitchen where smoke was rising.

“If I’m not mistaken, she should be in there.”

Lin Feng was surprised: “Lingyuan Jie learned how to cook? Should we go take a look?”

“Alright.”

Qian Renxue linked one of Lin Feng’s arms with hers, pulling him towards the kitchen.

“A little salt, a little sugar, a little soy sauce…”

Lingyuan looked at the notes on the recipe, her expression anxious.

“A little, a little, why is it all ‘a little’? How am I supposed to know how much that is! I’m so mad! What a ‘treasure of the store,’ and they dare to charge me ten gold soul coins?!” (Gold soul coins are a currency in the novel’s world.)

Smelling the burnt smell emanating from the pot, Lingyuan tossed the recipe aside, feeling dejected.

Lin Feng and Qian Renxue stepped into the kitchen and exchanged a glance, both breaking into smiles.

“Lingyuan Jie? How’s it going?”

“Ah, you’re back. You’re going to laugh at me…”

Lin Feng scooped the ruined fish out of the pot. The clinking sound it made as it hit the porcelain bowl caused Lingyuan’s cheeks to flush.

She had intended to make braised fish, but it had ended up more like pan-fried…

“Lingyuan Jie, for this kind of thing, you need someone to show you, to teach you in person. You can’t create culinary masterpieces in isolation.”

Lingyuan rubbed her temples in frustration:

“We can’t bring people here, can we? I can’t exactly grab a head chef and threaten him to teach me, or go to a hotel to steal their techniques?”

Lin Feng smiled and pointed at himself:

“Steal what techniques? There’s a ready-made master right here. Want to learn? I’ll teach you.”

Both Qian Renxue and Lingyuan’s eyes lit up. Lingyuan excitedly said:

“Really? I’ve never seen you cook before!”

Lin Feng chuckled: “After I turned seven, you guys took care of my food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. There was no need for me to do it myself. If you want to talk about my culinary skills, the dean should still remember them vividly.” (Referring to his skills from his younger years.)

“Teach me.”

Without any hesitation, Lingyuan grabbed Lin Feng’s other hand, eyes conveying unspoken feelings.

“No problem, let’s start with the simplest scrambled eggs with tomatoes. It’s the most suitable dish for beginners, simple steps, and the taste is also good. I’ll make it once first, and when you make it, I’ll give you some guidance. It’s very easy to learn.”

“First…”

Two and a half cups of tea later, Lin Feng looked at the table, one perfect dish and one black, burnt mess, and fell into deep thought.

Qian Renxue’s eyes darted around, her pretty face flushed. She stammered:

“It’s definitely because it’s my first time cooking! Lingyuan Jie wasn’t like this at first either…”

Lin Feng picked up a bit of Qian Renxue’s creation with his chopsticks and tasted it carefully.

“The taste is quite unique. It’s very well done. Next time, I’ll make it.”

Qian Renxue stamped her foot, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed in displeasure:

“Fine, you don’t have to. You’ll be doing the cooking from now on!”

Lin Feng gave Qian Renxue an apologetic look. *Sorry, Xiaoxue, you really can’t do this.* (Xiaoxue is a term of endearment for Qian Renxue.)

Lingyuan covered her mouth, secretly laughing to herself. *It seems I’m still better than Xiaoxue in some ways, at least Xiaofeng approves.* (Xiaofeng is a term of endearment for Lin Feng.)

Lin Feng thought for a moment:

“I’ll cook dinner tonight. We’ve troubled Grandpa Ju for so long, let you all see my skills too?” (Grandpa Ju again refers to Ju Douluo.)

“Okay, okay!”

Qian Renxue’s eyes shone brightly. *The saying goes, to capture a man’s heart, you must first capture his stomach.* *And vice versa, perhaps even more so. Excellent personal qualities combined with exquisite culinary skills are incredibly effective.*

“Can I help you?”

Lingyuan asked.

“Sure.”

Qian Renxue was not to be outdone:

“Then I… I can wash the vegetables.”

Lin Feng looked at the scene before him with satisfaction, and the kitchen immediately became lively.

From time to time, Qian Renxue and Lingyuan’s exclamations and gasps could be heard.

…………

After eating the last fried shrimp, Qian Renxue licked her lips contentedly and patted her slightly full belly.

Qian Renxue propped her head up with both hands, smiling and looking at Lin Feng with narrowed eyes.

“Mm, I’ve decided. From now on, the happiness of our taste buds is in your hands, Xiaofeng.”

Lingyuan also nodded:

“Xiaofeng is really amazing. I still have a lot to learn.”

Ju Douluo patted Gui Douluo’s shoulder: (Ju Douluo and Gui Douluo are powerful characters in the novel.)
“Old Ghost, what do you think of the taste? It’s not inferior to my cooking, right? It’s a pity that Ci Tun and She Mao are not here, they can’t eat it, haha.” (Ci Tun and She Mao are other characters.)

Gui Douluo remained expressionless:

“You can’t beat him.”

“Uh…” Ju Douluo looked embarrassed, his gaze distant,

“Old Ghost, you’ll lose me this way. But I agree with the young master’s suggestion, Xiaofeng will be in charge of our meals from now on.”

Qian Renxue snorted:

“Making meals for so many people every day will tire Xiaofeng out! Xiaofeng, listen to me, just make three people’s worth of lunch and dinner. Grandpa Ju can cook, let him make his own.”

*You’re just spoiling him!*

Ju Douluo thought to himself, *So what about all those meals I prepared for this family in the past? I was tired too…*

Then he suddenly realized something. *Why can Lingyuan join in? Could it be…*

He tentatively glanced at Lingyuan, but met two icy warning glares, quickly snapping back to reality.

*Women are really too scary. It’s better to stick with my brothers.*

With a long sigh, Ju Douluo pulled Gui Douluo away.

…………

Night fell, and stars dotted the night sky outside.

Under the lamplight, Lin Feng pondered over the notes in his hand.

He had a hunch that his previous thoughts on the laws of soul rings were correct.

If that was indeed the case, then when he absorbed his second soul ring, did the existence of his first soul vein allow him to have a deeper understanding of the laws suited to him?

This is why, as soon as he absorbed the second soul ring and obtained the soul skill, he was able to achieve secondary use of the soul skill.

This was because his body was already automatically adapting to the power of the laws within the soul vein, gradually incorporating the principles of heaven and earth into himself.

If this was true, then the absorption of the third soul ring would reveal the clues.

As long as his control over the third soul skill could be improved to another level, his hypothesis would be verified.

After writing down his insights, Lin Feng prepared to turn off the lights and rest.

However, the door creaked open slightly.

What came into view was Qian Renxue’s graceful figure in her pajamas.

Hugging the innate spirit treasure, stroking its surface, Qian Renxue giggled:

“Xiaofeng, it seems to want to sleep with you. After all, it’s your spirit, it’s not good to be too far away.”

Lin Feng twitched the corner of his mouth, *Are you sure it’s the innate spirit treasure that wants to sleep with me, and not you?* *Should I ask it if it agrees?*

He shrugged, pulled back the covers, and patted the mattress.

Qian Renxue raised her eyebrows, quickly closing the door and locking it.

Her steps were light as she lay down beside Lin Feng, placing the innate spirit treasure aside. She thought for a moment, then placed it on Lin Feng’s side.

“See? It really misses you.”

Then she rested her head on Lin Feng’s arm and fell into a sweet sleep.

Lin Feng also soon fell asleep.
