In the yacht kitchen,
Lord Li Feng, wearing an apron, was cooking, with Sanguinius assisting him.
At this moment, Celestine sensed that the corrupt aura on the ship had completely vanished.
She could feel that Lord Li Feng was hiding something; both Sanguinius and Celestine sensed it, but it didn't matter, they trusted Lord Li Feng had his own considerations.
However... Celestine was so envious...
She watched Sanguinius and Lord Li Feng's seamless coordination in the kitchen and knew that they had cooked together many times.
The kitchen was filled with a rich aroma.
Lord Li Feng expertly tossed the wok, and the oil and meat sizzled in the pan.
Sanguinius stood by, focused on mixing a cold dish, appearing skilled and elegant.
"Remember to fry out the moisture, it makes it taste better," Sanguinius gently reminded, handing Lord Li Feng the cooking wine nearby.
"Got it, you're even pickier than I am," Lord Li Feng said with a laugh, taking it, and teasing him while stir-frying, "It always feels best cooking with you..."
Sanguinius hummed softly, a gentle smile playing on her lips: "Are you saying you can't cook without me?"
"Yes, yes, yes, my virtuous wife," Lord Li Feng said with a helpless expression, but his tone was full of doting.
Celestine stood at the kitchen doorway, watching this scene, her heart a mix of emotions.
Her wings trembled slightly, her gaze falling on their synchronized movements; whether it was Lord Li Feng casually handing over seasoning while flavoring, or Sanguinius placing chopped ingredients into designated containers, their actions seemed so natural, like a long-accustomed tacit agreement.
She couldn't help but sigh, muttering to herself, "It's truly enviable..."
At this moment, Sanguinius seemed to notice Celestine's gaze, looked up at her, and said with a smile, "What's wrong, Celestine? Why don't you come help too?"
Celestine quickly waved her hand, her voice a little flustered, "No, no need, I'll just watch."
Lord Li Feng glanced at her, smiling, "You can come over and try too, more people mean higher efficiency.
Don't worry, we won't look down on your cooking skills."
"I..." Celestine hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, "Never mind, I'm afraid I'll just get in the way."
Sanguinius handed Lord Li Feng a bowl of sauce, teasing with a smile, "If you're worried about getting in the way, then you can be responsible for tasting.
We need to know if these things taste good, right?"
Celestine was amused, she dropped her reserve and walked into the kitchen, leaning against the counter, her gaze still following their movements.
She picked up a freshly cut vegetable and said softly, "I don't know when you two became so in sync."
Sanguinius, at this point, took the spatula from Lord Li Feng, and without turning her head, replied, "Cooking, you know, is an art of cooperation.
Working with Lord Li Feng for a long time, it naturally becomes easy."
Lord Li Feng chuckled softly, a hint of teasing in his voice, "You talk as if you were born knowing how to cook.
Don't forget who almost blew up the kitchen at first."
"That's just because you taught me so well," Sanguinius said calmly, not at all bothered by the teasing.
Celestine listened to their conversation, a complex emotion rising in her heart, but it ultimately dissolved into a soft chuckle: "You two, really, you leave one speechless."
Lord Li Feng plated the last dish, then turned to Celestine, smiling as he said, "Alright, since you don't want to cook, then go wait in the dining room.
Here's a task for you: watch this table of dishes and don't let anyone steal a bite."
Celestine rolled her eyes helplessly: "Got it, I'll guard the food."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Upon hearing the sound, Sanguinius immediately changed back into her "bad woman" form.
As Celestine said, "Come in," the door slowly opened.
Jin Honghei, Lord Li Feng's three secretaries, entered.
The three immediately saw Celestine lounging in the living room, so Reinhard asked, "Living Saint, where is Lord Li Feng?"
Celestine lifted her long leg and pointed her toes towards the kitchen.
They looked towards the kitchen and saw Lord Li Feng and a red-haired woman peeking out together.
"Lord Li Feng... and who is this?"
Sanguinius raised her palm and placed it in front of Lord Li Feng, who obediently rested his chin on Sanguinius's palm.
Lord Li Feng's arm was around Sanguinius's waist, and then he said:
"This is my girlfriend... (mouths: legal wife).".
"Hello everyone, I am Sanguinius.
You must be Reinhard, Siegfried, and Yang Weili, whom Lord Li Feng has mentioned... If I'm not mistaken, you are Reinhard, right?
Your sister manages the garden in the palace very well."
Sanguinius also smiled gently: "Lord Li Feng has told me about you.
He greatly admires your abilities, especially your strategic vision and leadership."
Reinhard, upon hearing this, maintained his smile, but a hint of caution entered his eyes.
He quickly assessed Sanguinius: red hair, calm tone, precise wording.
Clearly, this woman was more than just Lord Li Feng's "girlfriend."
Yang Weili was as nonchalant as ever, but his eyes were as sharp as knives.
He stared at Sanguinius for a few seconds, then shrugged, remaining silent.
At this moment, Celestine leaned leisurely on the sofa, looked up at the three secretaries, and said indifferently, "If you're not used to this kind of scene, you can step out for a bit.
This is their 'couple's space,' after all."
Yang Weili really wanted to retort, 'You know it's a "couple's space"? Then what are you, the Living Saint, doing here?'
(Celestine: Sanguinius and I are lifelong sisters.)
Reinhard ignored the Living Saint's teasing and stated directly, "Lord Li Feng, we are here to discuss important matters."
Lord Li Feng frowned, put down the spatula, and turned to the three: "Speak, what is it?"
Reinhard said in a deep voice, "We should arrive back at Holy Terra in about two days.
Terra has already prepared for our arrival."
Reinhard said, handing Lord Li Feng a file bag containing relevant reports, while Siegfried then said, "Political Commissar and Miss Inquisitor want to see you..."
"Cain? What do he and Inquisitor Amberly want with me? Aren't they 'admiring each other' every day now?"
At this, Siegfried awkwardly said, "It's about the 597th Regiment... they've had some... non-combat personnel increases internally."
Lord Li Feng was bewildered.
What did "non-combat personnel increases" mean?
Seeing Lord Li Feng's puzzled expression, Siegfried stammered in reply, "Because the 597th Regiment is a mixed-gender unit... so... they've expanded privately..."
