Chapter 19 Chu Chu's Transformation
Looking at the little girl in front of him, Uncle Mu understood that she didn't want to trouble them or take advantage of them.
"No, Uncle Mu, how can I accept this?" Lu Jinyan was on the verge of tears. In this day and age, even money is sometimes given forcibly.
"Alright, alright, Yan'er, just agree. If you really don't think it's appropriate, then just think of a few more delicious dishes and hang them up in the restaurant to sell."
Aunt Chun patted Lu Jinyan's head. This girl is such a good girl. It's just a pity she's not her child, otherwise she would cherish her so much.
Lu Jinyan sighed. This forced love came too suddenly, catching her off guard. However, she didn't refuse. She knew Uncle Mu's temper; the old man was incredibly stubborn.
If you don't go along with him, he might really close down, and then the contract you just signed and the rent you just paid will be wasted.
Forget it, at worst she can just write out more recipes to boost the restaurant's business and make them more money!
She had been spending some time with Uncle Mu and the others, and she knew that the two elderly people genuinely liked her. They would always think of giving her something nice whenever they had it.
She just didn't expect that even the restaurant staff would think of giving her half of their food. It would be a lie to say she wasn't moved. How could she not be touched when someone in this unfamiliar place was genuinely kind to her?
This made her even more determined to write more recipes and sell them at Uncle Mu's restaurant so that they could earn more money. She had nothing to give back to them, so this was all she could do.
After making arrangements with Uncle Mu and the others, she went to the market to buy some ingredients for the next two days. Sometimes cooking is a comforting thing, especially when you see others enjoying the food you've worked so hard to make.
Over the past few days, she had gotten a general idea of Mo Xuan's tastes, so she didn't need to hesitate when buying groceries. She went straight to the point and bought enough ingredients for two days before carrying large bags back home.
It wasn't that she had forgotten about the storage bag, but rather that she enjoyed the feeling of carrying her spoils. When she returned home, Mo Xuan was already awake and had eaten breakfast. He was sitting cross-legged on the stone table under the grape trellis, resting with his eyes closed.
Hearing Lu Jinyan open the door, Mo Xuan opened his eyes. He glanced at Lu Jinyan carrying large and small bags, then closed his eyes again.
"Mo Xuan, you're awake. Did Chu Chu say anything just now? Did she look for me?" Lu Jinyan asked Mo Xuan as she carried the groceries she had bought to the kitchen.
"No!" Mo Xuan replied coldly without even opening his eyes.
Lu Jinyan didn't mind. She carried the things directly into the kitchen, sorted them out, and then came out of the kitchen.
"It's been several days already, why hasn't Chuchu come out yet? Moxuan, do you think something might have gone wrong?"
Lu Jinyan was genuinely worried. Chu Chu was her first friend here, and after spending so much time together, she had long regarded Chu Chu as her own family.
"No!" Mo Xuan kept his eyes closed and didn't move.
Lu Jinyan rolled her eyes. He was really cold-hearted. She casually tossed a pair of mandarin duck stones over and listened to the system's announcement. Only then did Lu Jinyan feel comfortable all over.
It was still early, not lunchtime yet, and she had nothing to do. She didn't want to just stare at Mo Xuan, so she simply went back to her room, ate the cultivation-enhancing pills the system had given her, and then lay on the bed waiting for them to be absorbed naturally.
After absorbing most of it, she got up to go to the kitchen to cook. Looking at her cultivation level, which was still in the single digits, Lu Jinyan was speechless. At this rate, when would she ever become a big shot who could show off?
"Out, it's a success."
Lu Jinyan had just gotten out of bed when she heard Mo Xuan's voice coming from outside the door. Lu Jinyan was stunned. What? It was a success?
Mo Xuan was cultivating with his eyes closed, trying to recover his human form as soon as possible, when he suddenly sensed an aura. He naturally knew what kind of aura it was and originally didn't intend to pay attention to it, but when he thought of Lu Jinyan's face, he unconsciously came to her door.
The door creaked open, and Lu Jinyan looked at Mo Xuan with a puzzled expression, asking, "Mo Xuan, what succeeded? Who succeeded?"
"What do you think?" Mo Xuan was speechless, thinking that this woman was beautiful, but her brain wasn't quite working properly.
Lu Jinyan was about to say, "How should I know?" when she heard the door next door open and a clear voice rang out, "Yanyan, I did it!"
! ! ! ! !
"Chu Chu!!!" Upon hearing that familiar voice, Lu Jinyan immediately looked towards the source of the sound. She saw a cute little girl dressed in pink standing in front of her. Lu Jinyan instantly understood that it was Chu Chu, and that she had successfully transformed!
"Ahhhh, Chuchu, you've transformed! Oh my god, quick, quick, let me take a good look!" Lu Jinyan circled around Chuchu several times before finally getting a clear look at her.
Chu Chu was slightly shorter than Lu Jinyan. She had an adorable baby face and bright, sparkling eyes. She looked like a cute little girl no matter how you looked at her. Lu Jinyan liked her more and more as she looked at her. She reached out and gently pinched Chu Chu's cute little face. It was soft and very bouncy.
As the saying goes, three women make a drama, but the two women in front of him were just as capable as three, chattering away and giving Mo Xuan a headache.
But for some reason, he didn't want to disturb them. Looking at Lu Jinyan's smile, he felt that even if something important happened, he shouldn't bother her.
So even though he found it a bit noisy, he didn't leave. Lu Jinyan chatted happily with Chu Chu for a while until her stomach started to protest, and then she remembered that she should cook.
"Chuchu, today is a good day. To celebrate your successful transformation, I've decided to cook you a big meal! Let's celebrate!" Lu Jinyan was really happy this time. Chuchu had finally transformed, and finally someone could keep her company.
Although Chu Chu had always been with her before, it was still a bit strange since she wasn't in human form. Now that she had taken human form, she could finally stay with her properly.
"Great! I've been craving Yan Yan's food for so long, and now I can finally eat it!" Chu Chu was also very happy. She had finally transformed into human form and could stay by Yan Yan's side all the time, and could also help her with some things.
"No problem, leave it to me, I'll go make it for you right away!" Lu Jinyan patted her chest and smiled happily. Mo Xuan suddenly paused in his breath when he saw her patting her chest, then closed his eyes and turned away.
Lu Jinyan's two pats just now might have been a bit too forceful; he almost saw her chest tremble a few times. Mo Xuan unconsciously swallowed. To avoid Lu Jinyan and the others noticing anything amiss, Mo Xuan chose to return to his room.
"I'll go too, I'll go too, I'll help Yan Yan!" Chu Chu had finally managed to get herself dressed up and could finally help, so naturally she wouldn't let Lu Jin Yan go alone.
"Great, great, that's wonderful! We'll have Chuchu's help from now on!" Lu Jinyan smiled and took Chuchu's hand as they entered the kitchen.
Before long, the aroma of food wafted out. Lunch was again eaten at the stone table under the grape trellis. Lu Jinyan seemed to really enjoy eating here, as she rarely used the main room.
As usual, she served Mo Xuan a separate portion and took it to his room before pulling Chu Chu to sit in the courtyard. To celebrate Chu Chu's transformation, Lu Jinyan specially brought out two bottles of peach blossom wine.
She usually drinks alone, but only one or two cups at a time. She can't hold her liquor well. The liquor in the demon realm is quite strong. It smells fragrant and tastes sweet, but it has a very strong aftereffect, so she doesn't dare to drink too much.
Chu Chu had always seen her drink this before, and now she could finally try it herself. The two of them ate, drank, and chatted, creating a wonderful atmosphere.
Mo Xuan listened to the cheerful laughter in the courtyard, glanced at the food on the table, and suddenly lost his appetite. He thought to himself, how wonderful it would be if he could regain his human form now.
That way, he could be with them, drinking and chatting in the courtyard, looking at that captivating smiling face, and staying by her side. Instead of being like this now, only able to hear her laughter through the door.
For a moment, Mo Xuan felt a pang of resentment towards his elder brother. If his brother hadn't tried to kill him, he wouldn't have been so badly injured that he couldn't even maintain his human form.
If it weren't for the severity of her injuries, rendering her unable to maintain human form, then I would be the one by her side right now.
But then he thought again, if he hadn't been injured, how would he have met her?
Mo Xuan was somewhat confused about what was wrong with him; he was starting to feel jealous of the little flower fairy named Chu Chu.
Lu Jinyan and Chu Chu chatted for a long time in the courtyard. Although they had said many things before, talking to a flower and talking to a person are two completely different things.
Chu Chu didn't find her annoying at all, and sat obediently beside her, listening to her rambling on and on. The two of them drank quite a bit of wine and unknowingly got drunk. Mo Xuan stayed in the room and didn't dare to disturb them.
After a long while, when there was no more movement outside, he went out and saw two figures slumped on the table, motionless.
As soon as Mo Xuan approached, he smelled a strong stench of alcohol, which made him frown. He looked at Lu Jinyan, who was lying on the table, and suddenly his body grew several times larger.
He slowly extended his snake tail and coiled around Lu Jinyan. His movements were very gentle, as he was afraid of accidentally hurting her. His scales were hard and sharp, and he could easily scratch her if he wasn't careful.
