“No, Young Sir. This servant wants to go back together with you,” Baoyan stated resolutely.

  Ding Yun didn’t pay attention to her anymore. His mother had picked this maidservant off the streets and brought her back to the manor when she was young. She had stayed in his courtyard all this time, attending to his meals and lodgings, and she had always had an obstinate temperament.

  Few could change her mind on the things she decided on, so Ding Yun also didn’t bother to say more.

  Meanwhile, Qiao Mu stared curiously at the extra-large bowl of noodles in front of her, and she impatiently grabbed inside the bowl with her small hand.

  “Wait!” Cult Master Ding jumped in fright before quickly grasping her small hand. However, he felt like he was touching a small icicle, chilly without a hint of warmth.

  He hastily put a pair of chopsticks into her palm. “How can you use your hand? It’s very hot. Here, use chopsticks.”


  Qiao Mu stared at the two bamboo chopsticks in her hand as if she had never ever seen them before. She waved them around before grabbing one bamboo chopstick in each hand and laboriously chasing the noodles in the bowl. Nevertheless, she was unable to catch a single strand of noodle even after a long time.

  If she found out after the fact that she had once acted so dumb, she probably wouldn’t just hastily end things even after violently beating up the giant ape for a day!

  That’s why one cannot be overly absolute and singular in doing things. As a cultivating maniac, her mind was blank except for cultivation. She couldn’t even take care of herself. This really wasn’t good!

  On the side, Baoyan couldn’t help laughing out loud. “Heavens, this idiot does not even know how to use chopsticks.”


  “Baoyan.” Ding Yun’s face turned cold.

  Baoyan shut up disgruntledly, and she glared at Qiao Mu with envy and resentment.

  There had never been a person or matter that could absorb all of the young sir’s attention like this.

  “Here.” Simply setting down his own utensils, Cult Master Ding used a clean pair of chopsticks to pick up several strands of noodles and held them to her mouth. “Eat now.”


  Darling Qiao glanced at Cult Master Ding before stretching her small head over and widening her mouth.

  She snapped the chopsticks with this chomp.

  Cult Master Ding: ……

  Baoyan chorted out loud.

  After painstakingly fussing about for half the day, they were finally about to feed the entire bowl of noodles into her stomach. Qiao Mu rubbed her small belly and then stood up to trot outside.

  Baoyan: ……

  “Blockhead.” Cult Master Ding hastily tossed down his own bowl of noodles and ran towards her.

  Qiao Mu was just about to go out the door when she came face to face with the second shopkeeper, who had just returned from collecting a payment.

  The second shopkeeper inadvertently looked up, and he was immediately stunned. He blurted out, “Crown Prince Consort?”


  When the crown prince and Qiao Mu had come to this restaurant previously, it was this second shopkeeper who had personally received them. Naturally, he could recognize his restaurant’s mistress at a glance.

  At this time, the second shopkeeper looked at Qiao Mu with wide eyes, and he exclaimed in delight, “Crown Prince Consort! It really is the crown prince consort! Senior Shopkeeper, come quickly. Senior Shopkeeper, look whom I saw, it’s the crown prince consort!”


  During this period of time, the crown prince consort had vanished from the Mystic Beast Forest, causing the crown prince to round up troops and bring hidden guards with him all over the place to track the crown prince consort’s traces. All of the crown prince’s subordinates were informed of this matter.

  No wonder the second shopkeeper was so happy!

  If they immediately reported this information, His Highness the Crown Prince would probably be ecstatic!

  “What? The crown prince consort?” The senior shopkeeper had been upstairs working the entire time, yet now, he hastily ran down the stairs upon hearing the second shopkeeper’s holler.
