Chapter 7

Mo Xiuyao glanced at Song Zhi and turned to leave. Song Zhi was anxious when she saw that he was leaving. She suddenly remembered that the demon liked cultivation and good food the most, but he hated trouble the most!

Song Zhi suddenly had an idea and shouted at Mo Xiuyao, “I can help you pick out the fish bones!”

Mo Xiuyao stopped in his tracks and looked at Song Zhi for the first time. Song Zhi boasted, “I’m very good at picking the bones.”

Mo Xiuyao stared at Song Zhi for a while, as if he was considering something. Then, he walked back to the pot. Song Zhi saw this and took out a small table and a stool from her Cosmos Bag. She also took out two sets of bowls and chopsticks.

“You’re well-equipped.” Mo Xiuyao was amused.

Song Zhi laughed and said, “I’m just waiting for you to save me. Naturally, I have to serve you well.”

When she said this, Mo Xiuyao thought of her request just now and looked at her with a meaningful look.

Song Zhi stopped there. She lowered her head and used her chopsticks to pick out the fish bones. There were not many bones in the stone-spotted fish, but they were all very small. Picking them took a lot of effort. Fortunately, she was very skilled in picking bones. It did not take long for her to pick them. After picking out the bones, the fish was still intact and not broken.

“Demon Lord, please.” Song Zhi handed over the fish she had picked.

Mo Xiuyao picked up his chopsticks and asked, “Are you sure you’ve picked them clean?”

“It’s definitely clean.” Song Zhi raised her hand.

“It better be clean, otherwise…” Mo Xiuyao did not say much, but his eyes glanced at the hot oil pot beside him. Song Zhi suddenly broke out in a sweat. Mo Xiuyao did not care what kind of indelible psychological shadow his unfinished sentence would leave on Song Zhi. He elegantly picked up the fried fish and tasted it. His long and beautiful eyes were slightly moved.

“Is it good? Do you like it?” Song Zhi was full of anticipation. Mo Xiuyao glanced at her and continued to eat his fish. Although he did not say anything, Song Zhi understood the meaning of his actions and was instantly happy. She continued to pick out the fish bones. The two of them sat there, one picked the bones and the other ate the fish. After a while, there was only one-third of the fish left on the plate.

Song Zhi felt that the atmosphere was about right and brought it up again. Demon Lord, I’m actually very good at cooking, and I can cook more than this. If you’re willing, I can cook for you every day.

“Hmm, you’ll cook for me during the day and I’ll repay you in bed at night?” Mo Xiuyao raised his eyes slightly.

Song Zhi almost choked on his words. She coughed a few times before stammering, “There’s no need to be so direct…”

“I can be more direct.” After eating and drinking to his heart’s content, Mo Xiuyao’s evil spirit also emerged. “For example… Sleeping with you.”

Song Zhi, “…”

This guy is so unreserved.

Song Zhi realized that it was a waste of time to discuss whether to be straightforward or subtle with Mo Xiuyao. Seeing that Mo Xiuyao put down her chopsticks and was about to leave, she quickly asked him to stay, “Demon Lord, do you want to drink fish soup?”

Mo Xiuyao was deep in thought.

“Stir-fry tomato, scallion, and small fish together. Add some vinegar, coriander, and soy sauce. The fish soup is fresh and delicious.” Song Zhi continued to tempt him.

Mo Xiuyao sat back on the stool.

Song Zhi smiled and took the remaining two or three fish to the pot. She rolled up her sleeves and started to cook the soup. She used the most homely cooking method and made the fish soup in about ten minutes. She sent it to Mo Xiuyao with anticipation. Mo Xiuyao picked up the spoon and took a sip.

“How is it?” Song Zhi’s eyes lit up.

Mo Xiuyao glanced at her. “It’s alright.”

To him, this was already a compliment. Song Zhi was instantly satisfied and said, “I can cook a lot of other dishes.”

“How many more days do you have to live?” Mo Xiuyao asked casually. This was the first time he had taken the initiative to ask about this.

Song Zhi seemed to see hope and quickly replied, “Less than 20 days!”

“Yes, it’s alright.” Mo Xiuyao nodded.

Song Zhi: “???”

How was it alright? The corners of her mouth twitched, and she continued to try her best to persuade him. “20 days is only enough to cook a few dishes. As long as you are willing to save me, I can cook for you in the Demon’s Note Valley for the rest of my life.”

“Really?” Mo Xiuyao smirked and Song Zhi quickly nodded.

It was fake, of course, it was fake. According to the original plot, the Demon Lord would be leaving the Demon’s Note Valley in 20 years. Then, he would continue to seek death outside and stir up the entire Immortal cultivation world. After that, he was killed by the male lead. So, how could she stay with him all the time? When the Gu Poison was cured, she would leave the Demon’s Note Valley immediately, change her appearance, and start a new life. She would draw a clear line with him!
