Chapter 405: 405, [Dreaming to West State] (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

“Huh?” Lu Xiaoyu was taken aback by Lu Xun’s words.

She couldn’t help but recall the times when she was studying, if there was a problem she couldn’t solve, she would be sitting at her desk, racking her brains, on the verge of biting her pen in half. At those times, her brother would sit by her side and gently say:

“Don’t know how to do it? Let me teach you!”

Of course, this memory only lasted until high school.

Because after that, Lu Xun couldn’t solve the problems either.

Who would have thought that the peak of many people’s learning, the most knowledgeable time, would be the third year of high school?

Expecting a college graduate to coach a high school student, isn’t that ridiculous!?

However, in Lu Yu’s memory, her brother indeed taught her a lot.

Not just school subjects, even life skills such as cooking, were mostly taught by her brother.

As she looked at the man in the black robe in front of her and heard his “If you want to learn, I can teach you”, she subconsciously nodded.

At the same time, she felt strange in her heart and wondered why she was reminded of her brother again.

“Maybe… it’s because he has the same name as my brother.” Lu Xiaoyu thought to herself.

At this moment, the surrounding players who were spectating suddenly became excited.

“Ahhhh! I want to learn too!”

“Why not me? Why!”

“Should I perform my sword dance here, to let the Purple Palace see, that I also have talent?”

“I’m so jealous, what about you?”

For these silly gamers, what can be learned from Lu Xun is secondary. The important thing is the process itself!

It’s bragging rights for later!

Once the video is posted to the forum, many people will be green with envy!

Having seen Lu Xiaoyu nod, Lu Xun smiled faintly and said, “But I have a condition. You need to go to the small stream to the east and catch two big fish and bring them back.”

Having said that, he left, disappearing, so as not to cause any trouble with the players gathered around.

Lu Xiaoyu vaguely looked in the direction where Lu Xun had left, then looked at the prompt information that popped up in front of her eyes.

“[Ding! You’ve triggered a task: Catch fish, do you want to claim it?]”

She quietly selected[Claim].

In the task reward, it was clearly written that she could receive a pointer from Lu Xun!

Xiao Long Bao, in timely manner, leaned over and asked softly, “Did you get a task?”

“Yes.” Lu Xiaoyu nodded.

“What are you waiting for, come on! Let’s go fishing!” Xiao Long Bao tugged her arm and said.

Then, the two-girl team took out their flying swords and started to fly towards the small stream in the east.

The players left behind scattered and resumed their previous silly actions.

A sense of anticipation was secretly growing in their hearts.

“Maybe Lu Xiaoyu just got lucky and happened to trigger some task, right?”

“Does that mean we might also have a chance to trigger a task at the Purple Palace?”

“Yes! Surely it’s possible! The next lucky guy, it’s definitely going to be me!”

…

…

Meanwhile, at the creek.

The water was too clear, there were not many fish.

The two girls had to expend quite a bit of effort to catch two fairly plump fish.

“This should be enough for you to complete the task, right?” Xiao Long Bao held the fish by the tail, avoiding the splashes of water from the fish’s struggle.

“Yes.” Lu Xiaoyu nodded, a slightly smaller fish in her hand.

They were both perplexed, what on earth did the Purple Palace issue this fishing task for?

This was too simple.

With his power, he could wave his hand at the city gate, and Spiritual Power might even be able to catch a fat fish flying towards him, right?

They were completely unaware, Lu Xun was actually fishing too, but what he was fishing for, was another little fish.

On their way back, Xiao Long Bao suggested, “Little Fish, after we log off today, let’s go eat fish! You love to eat fish the most, right?”

“Okay.” Lu Xiaoyu agreed.

“Your name is Xiaoyu (Little fish), and you love to eat fish the most, you’re a wierdo!” Xiao Long Bao jumped around and said.

“Nonsense! My name is Lu Yu, Little Fish is the nickname you gave me, my brother always called me Little Yu.” Lu Xiaoyu said.

“Tsch! I don’t care, I also love to eat fish, quick! Come here, let me have a bite!”

“Childish! Go away!”

“Hee Hee Hee, I won’t!”

“You laugh like an old hen.”

As the sun set in the west, the two girls ran wildly through the forest, quickly reaching the outskirts of Frost Feather City.

Once outside the city, they instantly became restrained.

After all, they were the president and vice president of their guild, they needed to act the part, so the members wouldn’t think they were stupid!

After the two girls entered the city, Xiao Long Bao asked, “Which way should we go? Where is the Purple Palace waiting for you?”

“I don’t know.” Lu Xiaoyu was startled.

The task didn’t specify where to submit it…

Just then, a gentle voice sounded in the girls’ ears: “Come over here.”

They felt as if a breeze was blowing around them, this breeze was their guide, directing them the way.

“Wow! This way of guiding is so classy!” Xiao Long Bao exclaimed.

“Well… it’s alright.” Lu Xiaoyu spoke less and was less outgoing than Xiao Long Bao, not so good at expressing all her thoughts and emotions.

When they got to where Lu Xun was, they saw a wooden table and a complete set of kitchenware.

Lu Xun looked at the two fish, grinning, “Not bad. They are big and fat.”

Then, in front of Lu Xiaoyu, a pop-up message: “Task Completed”.

With a wave of Lu Xun’s hand, an airflow lifted the two fat fish, floating them to his front.

He said, “Even though I’m a cultivator and I’ve reached the level where I don’t need sustenance, I still keep the habit of having three meals a day. If I’ve got the chance, I’ll cook for myself.” freeωebnovēl.c૦m

“Now that I’ve promised to teach you skills, you might as well stay. It’s just a couple more chopsticks and bowls. I’ll teach you after the meal,” Lu Xun said.

When he finished, he glanced at Xiao Long Bao and said, “You can stay as well.”

Without waiting for the two girls to respond, Lu Xun took charge, “Now, help me scale the fish.”

The girls were still confused at this point, each with a different thought while scaling the fish.

Xiao Long Bao found it interesting. She thought it would be a fun experience to eat food made by a world protagonist.

In the Heavenly Dust game, players would actually taste the food and feel full after eating a lot. It was very realistic.

However, Lu Xiaoyu was somewhat bewildered.

She never thought things would turn out like this; she was unexpectedly invited to stay for dinner.

In the past, there was a man named Lu Xun who loved to cook for her.

Because she loved fish, he often cooked fish for her, using different recipes each time.

For instance, braised, stewed, or steamed fish. He could make them all.

No matter how he cooked it, it was always delicious.

She turned to look at Lu Xun and surprisingly, saw their figures overlapping in her perception.

Since he had crossed over, Lu Xun often cooked. In the back mountains, he was primarily a cook, and a secondary cultivator.

However, until this day, he had never taken cooking so seriously.

“I need to do my best!” Lu Xun determined in his heart.

Besides the fish, he also made a dish of bamboo shoots with meat and a dish of garlic greens, both of which were Lu Yu’s favorites.

After the dishes were prepared, he was the first to sit at the wooden table and invited the girls, “Sit down, let’s eat.”

The two girls obediently sat down, picked up their bowls and chopsticks, and glanced at the three dishes in front of them.

The presentation was excellent!

In fact, while he was preparing the dishes, they felt like they were witnessing a divine being cook. His skills were indescribably magnificent!

Only after Lu Xun started eating did Xiao Long Bao and Lu Xiaoyu hesitantly start eating.

After they tasted the fish, Lu Xun acted calm on the surface, but he was dying to know their opinions. He asked casually, “How’s the taste?”

Xiao Long Bao had a lot to say. She racked her brains, trying to come up with sophisticated food critique words, but in the end, she blurted out: “Delicious!!!”

Lu Xun smiled and turned to Lu Xiaoyu.

Lu Xiaoyu, with her head lowered, was idly stirring the rice in her bowl. She said in a soft voice,

“You are as competent as my brother.”

Lu Xun, hearing her words, let out a long sigh of relief.

In the past, he used modern kitchenware to cook, and the ingredients and seasonings were slightly different from what he had at present.

He simply could not recreate the exact flavors of the past.

But fortunately, Lu Yu found it delicious.

He knew she was not lying, because every time she lied, he caught her. She could fool others but not him.

Xiao Long Bao, getting carried away by her high spirits and tendency to speak without thinking, blurted out: “Elder Lu, isn’t it a coincidence that Xiaoyu’s brother just happens to have the same name as you!”

Upon hearing it, Lu Xun feigned surprise, “Oh? What a coincidence indeed!”

After saying this, he looked at Lu Xiaoyu and smiled, “I’ve always wanted to have a sister.”

He stopped there, just subtly hinting without delving too deep.

It was like cooking; he needed to control the heat perfectly.

Lu Xun looked at them kindly, “Eat up. I`ll teach you new skills after the meal. Um…you too.”

Throughout the meal, Lu Xun took notice that the two girls kept stealing glances at him from time to time.

He was very satisfied with this.

Today, Lu Xun experienced a satisfaction in the Heavenly Dust Continent that he had never felt before.

He finally cooked for his sister again.

And she said it was delicious.

During their impoverished past, he didn’t have money to take Little Yu to restaurants.

Lu Xun would try his best to cook delicious homestyle dishes as it was the only thing he could do.

As long as Little Yu felt it was tasty, he would feel an immense sense of accomplishment.

Now, the person he missed for so long was sitting right in front of him.

He actually met Lu Yu in West State.

For this, he felt grateful and content.

The world seemed a bit brighter.

…

– “The south wind knows my intention, blowing my dreams to West State.”
