Although Qian Renxue didn't let him run around freely, the sun had only just risen, and there was still plenty of time.
Moreover, it would take time for Qian Renxue to arrange for that guard captain to come find him.
Jiang Chen thought about it and acted immediately. Without even washing his face, he went straight out the door to buy the things he needed.
When it came to food, he was the most skilled.
One hour later, his soul tool was already filled with a large pile of ingredients, and he returned satisfied.
He sensed slightly and discovered that Little Shadow had already returned to her room.
He knocked on the door, but there was no response from the other side.
No response meant consent, so Jiang Chen directly pushed the door open.
The young girl, Little Shadow, was sitting cross-legged on the bed, seemingly cultivating her soul power. Seeing Jiang Chen enter, she couldn't help but glare at him angrily.
"Sorry, I was indeed a bit excessive yesterday. I apologize to you." Jiang Chen spoke very directly.
The young girl, Little Shadow, snorted coldly, still glaring at Jiang Chen without saying a word.
"Well, I'll prepare a surprise for you in a bit, as compensation for my wrongdoing."
Jiang Chen stared at her for a moment and found that the young girl was still looking at him with the same hostility.
He shook his head, closed the door, and prepared to get to work.
Only after Jiang Chen left did the young girl's expression relax slightly, but her heart was still filled with anger.
After returning alone last night, she had thought about it for a long time and realized that the previous misunderstandings were all caused by her, so she had planned to forgive Jiang Chen.
But who would have known that as soon as Jiang Chen returned, he ruthlessly stabbed at her two biggest sore spots.
She could endure anything else, but those two places were off-limits.
"Want me to forgive you? Dream on!" Little Shadow spat out the words through gritted teeth, her body trembling slightly.
Just thinking about Jiang Chen saying she hadn't even grown any hair yet and calling her a flat-chested princess made her want to explode.
"Calm down! Calm down!" She forced herself to calm down.
It took a full ten minutes before she recovered her calm state of mind and prepared to continue cultivating.
At that moment, clattering sounds came from outside.
Little Shadow furrowed her brows, not knowing what Jiang Chen was up to.
The sounds kept coming, making her feel irritated and unable to calm her mind to cultivate.
Anger surged in her heart, and she jumped off the bed, about to rush out the door.
Suddenly, Jiang Chen's earlier mention of a surprise flashed through her mind, so she quietly walked to the side and pushed the window open a tiny crack.
Little Shadow's deep, large eyes suddenly widened, as if she had seen something unbelievable.
In her line of sight, Jiang Chen was busy in the kitchen, handling various ingredients.
"Is the compensation he mentioned making food for me?" This thought flashed through Little Shadow's mind.
"Hmph, even I don't know how to cook. What good can a grown man like him make?"
The young girl snorted coldly, having no expectations for Jiang Chen's actions and even feeling some contempt.
No matter what Jiang Chen made, she was determined not to eat it.
However, seeing Jiang Chen's busy figure, the anger in her heart dissipated a little.
With her heart no longer so restless, she returned to the bed and continued cultivating.
...
Three hours later, Little Shadow, who had her eyes closed in deep meditative cultivation, twitched her fair and delicate nose slightly.
She suddenly opened her eyes, and her nose began sniffing nonstop.
"What's that smell?" In one swift movement, she rushed to the window and carefully watched outside.
A faint aroma of food wafted over, along with a rich bone soup scent.
The pork rib soup that Jiang Chen had been simmering for several hours finally released its strong fragrance.
The young girl peeking from inside the window couldn't help but swallow, completely losing any thought of continuing her cultivation.
Her eyes were fixed unblinkingly on the man busy in the kitchen, filled with longing.
Jiang Chen checked the time and felt it was about right, so he started cooking the dishes, unaware that the young girl was already secretly staring at him intently.
About an hour later, Jiang Chen looked at the six dishes in front of him with great satisfaction.
He hadn't cooked for many years, but his skills hadn't declined.
In his previous life, he had a nickname, Little Kitchen God, and every holiday, his parents would drag him to the restaurant to work as the head chef.
He carried the dishes out and set them up in the shaded area of the courtyard.
His gaze glanced toward Little Shadow's room, and he noticed a black shadow quickly retracting from the window crack.
The corner of Jiang Chen's mouth curled up slightly, knowing that the other party had been successfully enticed.
"Women are born to love eating. That saying is indeed true."
Jiang Chen calmly served the dishes and finally brought out the rich pork rib soup. When the lid was lifted, the fragrant aroma quickly spread throughout the entire courtyard.
He walked to the door and knocked gently. "Little Shadow, come out and eat."
There was no movement inside the room.
"This is specially made as an apology for you."
With a creak, the young girl walked out.
Her face was still as cold as ever, but after seeing the table full of food, her expression softened considerably. She said, "It looks decent, but I don't know how it tastes."
Jiang Chen watched her. Those clear, black-and-white eyes kept glancing toward the dining table outside from time to time, clearly filled with longing.
"I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Jiang Chen smiled lightly, extremely confident.
The young girl stopped looking at him and strode over to sit down at the table.
The excitement on her face could no longer be hidden; her eyes sparkled as she quickly began tasting Jiang Chen's cooking.
When Jiang Chen sat down opposite her, the excitement and smile on her face instantly vanished, returning to her icy-cold appearance, but the speed of her hands did not slow down.
"Eat slowly, there's plenty." Jiang Chen smiled and served her a bowl of soup.
The young girl's mouth was stuffed with all kinds of delicious food. Unfamiliar flavors kept exploding on her taste buds, making her feel as if her entire being was ascending.
She felt that even the top restaurants in Heaven Dou City might not taste better than the dishes before her.
Although she had never eaten at those places, it didn't stop her from giving Jiang Chen's cooking the highest evaluation in her heart.
From childhood to now, this was the best food she had ever eaten.
Jiang Chen didn't pick up his chopsticks. He smiled as he watched the young girl sweep through the table.
In just over ten minutes, the six dishes and one soup were completely wiped out by her.
"Burp~" A long burp sounded. Jiang Chen glanced at Little Shadow's belly; her originally flat stomach was now bulging.
Little Shadow's face flushed slightly. For the first time, she felt embarrassed in front of Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen smiled kindly without saying anything and turned to walk into the kitchen.
Not long after, he came out carrying a plate of fruit.
"Eat more papaya. It's good for you." Jiang Chen placed it in front of her.
"Hmm? What benefit?" Little Shadow finally spoke.
"Xue'er has a great figure, right?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
Little Shadow nodded, unable to hide the envy in her eyes.
"Do you envy her?"
Brought back to this topic, a faint pain stirred in Little Shadow's heart. She glared fiercely at Jiang Chen.
Considering the meal Jiang Chen had made, she didn't explode. In the end, she nodded dejectedly.
"Then eat more papaya. I heard it can promote development."
Jiang Chen tried hard to keep himself from laughing out loud like a pig.
Little Shadow stared at Jiang Chen fiercely for a long time before silently starting to eat.
Whether papaya really had that effect, Jiang Chen had only heard about it; he wasn't sure if it was actually true.
"This is all I can help with. If it still doesn't work, then her future man will have to develop it himself."
