1089 Using food as bait (1)(Chapter preview)

"You Yue, what happened?" Kong Xiang Yi asked because she was worried.

Little Roar's behaviour had given them quite a scare. They had never seen him act like that before.

"Yue Yue, did something happen to Little Dream? Why do you reek of blood?" Little Seven asked.

"Nothing much." Sima You Yue didn't want others to know how Little Dream was currently like so she changed the topic and asked, "You guys called for me just now. Is something up?"

"Oh, it's like this. Old Bi came down for a while and said that some people asked to come into this room earlier on but was rejected." Little Seven said.

"If they were rejected then just leave it." Sima You Yue didn't find anything off about it. The men from the Yin Yang Palace wouldn't be living for long anyway, now that they had left the shore, even if they killed them, others would never see it.

As for whether or not they would guess it later on, that wasn't something she would bother about. Without concrete evidence, even the Yin Yang Palace wouldn't dare to do anything to Heartbreak valley.

"Old Bi's meaning was that, since we have already entered the waters, is this the time to act." Kong Xiang Yi explained, "They have the scent that attracts spirit beasts. If we enter the deep waters, will they attract the spirit beasts and end up implicating us?"

"That's true." Sima You Yue said, "However, if we act and their corpses are found with us, others will definitely suspect us."

"Then what do we do?" Little Seven asked.

Sima You Yue thought for a moment and said, "First think of a way to lock them up then toss them out once we reach the shore."

"Then just use poison to deal with them." Little Seven said, "Anyway, you have so many poisons, you can get rid of them so easily."

"They're all cultivators. They wouldn't fall to poisons that easily." Kong Xiang Yi said.

"Then we'll have to think of an idea." Sima You Yue said.

"We do have an idea, we just don't know if it'll work or not." Little Seven said lightly.

"What idea?"

"Hehe. the idea is…" Little Seven smiled sinisterly as she explained her idea.

When night came, Kong Xiang Yi finally returned to the deck with Sima You Yue. Kong Xiang Qi saw Kong Xiang Yi return and asked, "Why did you guys take so long?"

"I saw that Little Seven was having so much fun so I got her to teach me. Who knew that it would have become so late." Kong Xiang Yi said with a smile.

"She taught you?"

"She did!" Kong Xiang Yi nodded, "I already told you that we have a good relationship."

"Even if your relationship isn't bad, you can't cause trouble for others! If you made her mad, what would we do if she tossed us overboard?" After speaking, Kong Xiang Qi even looked at the men from Heartbreak Valley. As if saying that they would toss them off if they got mad.

"Big Bro, you can relax. You Yue wouldn't do that. Right, You Yue?" Kong Xiang Yi asked.

Sima You Yue smiled at Kong Xiang Yi, "Kong Xiang Yi is my friend. I wouldn't toss her down."

"Look, I said that he wouldn't!" Kong Xiang Yi said.

"We still can't ignore the possibility." Kong Xiang Qi nagged.

"I got it." Kong Xiang Yi pouted at Kong Xiang Qi. This guy was nagging her as if she were a child. "Oh right, You Yue, you told me before that you would cook good food for me once we met. Do your words still count?"

"When have I ever backed out on my word?" Sima You Yue asked.

"Then could we do it now?"

"Little Sis!" Kong Xiang Qi glared at Kong Xiang Yi.

"Young Valley Master, don't get mad. This is something I once promised Xiang Yi." Sima You Yue said, "Since we're already acquainted, we can take the opportunity to drink some wine and eat together. We can take it as a celebration. Elder Wu, why don't you join us as well?"

Elder Wu and the others had been listening in from the side the whole time. Seeing how close Sima You Yue was with the Kong Valley Clansmen to the point that she was going to prepare food for them, he said with a smile, "Since Vice Valley Master is so warm, this lowly one will show my respects and accept your invitation."

"You Yue, I want to have roasted meat." Kong Xiang Yi said.

"No problem."

"Why don't we eat on the deck. In any case, we're just at the horizon and the night sky doesn't look bad." Kong Xiang Yi suggested.

Sima You Yue thought it over before nodding, "That's possible. I'll go and prepare a few things."

She entered the cabin and returned quickly. With a wave of her hand, a huge table appeared on the deck. With another wave, a pile of ingredients that had been properly prepared appeared on the table. There were even a few basins of ladles.

The moment Han Miao Shuang smelled the ingredients, she came out from her room. She saw all the things that Sima You Yue prepared and said, "Haha, Junior Brother, are you going to cook? Why didn't you call me?!"

Sima You Yue looked straight at her, saying, "Do you even need an invitation? Your nose is even more sensitive than spirit beasts'."

"Cough cough, you don't have to say it like that, alright?!" Han Miao Shuang didn't admit it.

"Am I wrong?" Sima You Yue began to cook, roast the meat, fry the vegetables, prepare the soup and cook the rice and so on.

If it were not because her mental energy far superseded the others, there was no way she would have been able to multitask to such an extent.

Kong Xiang Yi took out a table in preparation for their meal. She and Han Miao Shuang directly sat at the table, watching Sima You Yue prepare food for them.

Very quickly, the first dish of roasted meat was done. Sima you Yue directly used his spirit energy to distribute the plates onto the table.

"Big Brother, Elder Wu, hurry up and come eat! You Yue's cooking is really delicious!" Kong Xiang Yi waved towards them.

Kong Xiang Qi, Elder Wu and two other elders sat down as well. Initially, it was only done to worm their way into becoming friends, but since they smelt the fragrance of the roasted meat, they really felt ravenous.

"I'll tuck in, then!" Elder Wu picked up a piece of roasted pork and couldn't wait to take a bite out of it.

Kong Xiang Qi picked up a slice and ate it. It was so delicious that he almost swallowed her own tongue.

It was only now that he knew. Kong Xiang Yi didn't get Sima You Yue to cook because she wanted to bait those people. She truly wanted to eat!

"How is it?" Kong Xiang Yi looked at him, as if she were waiting to be praised and as if she had been the one to cook the dishes.

"This is the best roasted meat I've ever eaten!" Elder Wu praised.

In a moment, they had finished eating a batch. Before they placed the chopsticks in the left hand down, their right hand already picked up another batch and continued eating.

Those from the Yin Yang Palace had never seen their elder disregard their image in such a way to eat before and imagined how delicious the roasted meat was.

As such, even though they could only smell it, they were already drooling nonstop.

Sima You Yue served up another freshly cooked batch of food, which Elder Wu recognised at a glance.

"Isn't this the stir-fried lion head dish served in Memory Restaurant? This is their exclusive dish. Vice Valley Master, how did you learn this?"

"I was the one who taught the chefs. Of course I know it." Sima You Yue said.

"You're saying that Memory Restaurant also belongs to Heartbreak Valley?"

Sima You Yue smiled without answering, which was a tacit agreement.

"Then you should have the fruit wine of Memory Restaurant as well?" Elder Wu's eyes shone as he asked.
