Reading Is Holy! Exposed By My Junior Sister!

Chapter 39: Clever Cui'er, the Immortal Comes from the South

"Cui'er, if you tell me, big brother will give you candy, okay?" Chen Chang'an said, reaching into his pocket.

When his hand came out, there was already a yellow candy on it.

It was indeed candy.

"Really? Gulu."

"Big brother, you didn't lie to Cui'er?"

The little girl looked at the candy in Chen Chang'an's hand, swallowing continuously, with saliva flowing down.

This was candy, something that could only be eaten during the New Year, so delicious.

"Big brother has never lied to children, and Cui'er, when has big brother ever lied to you?" Chen Chang'an smiled and then handed the candy to the little girl.

"Thank you, big brother." Little Cui'er took the candy from Chen Chang'an's hand, and her little face immediately smiled like a crescent moon.

"Alright, Cui'er, now you can tell big brother why you won't be able to eat noodles in the future." Chen Chang'an asked again.

"Mhmm."

"Big brother, wait for Cui'er to tell you."

Little Cui'er nodded, and then in her childish voice, she said:

"Big brother, it was a few days ago when father told Cui'er."

"After today, Cui'er will be nine years old, no longer a child, but a big child."

"Father said that big children shouldn't eat mixed noodles and flat meat, it will stunt their growth."

"Wuwuwu, Cui'er won't be able to eat these two delicious things anymore."

"Big brother, father is a bad person."

Huh.

Hearing the little girl say this, Chen Chang'an couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This little girl, what did she think it was, turns out it was this.

Wait, something's not right!

"You little Cui'er, quickly tell me, are you deliberately tricking me into giving you candy?"

Suddenly, Chen Chang'an realized, looking at little Cui'er with a smile that wasn't a smile.

"Hehe, big brother found out."

"But big brother's candy is really really really delicious, even better than what mother buys."

When the little girl saw her goal exposed, she immediately giggled.

"You little girl."

Chen Chang'an reached out and tapped the little girl's forehead, she was really a little clever devil.

The candy he gave was naturally delicious, although it couldn't be compared to Spirit Pills, it was made by cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation World to sell to the descendants of cultivators.

In addition to its effect of improving aptitude, another characteristic was that it was especially sweet.

The kind that you can't forget after eating one!

Even if the best in the mortal world was only the best in the mortal world, it couldn't be compared to it.

Under this huge difference in taste, it wasn't unreasonable for the little girl to like it.

"Alright, they're all for you."

Chen Chang'an smiled and took out about five pieces from his pocket, handing them all to the little girl.

These five pieces of candy were really his last inventory.

And these were all bought casually when he was wandering around the Immortal Market in recent years.

Apart from this, there really was nothing left.

"Hehe, thank you, big brother. I knew big brother was the best."

Seeing Chen Chang'an take out candy again, little Cui'er's eyes narrowed into crescents once more.

She giggled and took the candy from Chen Chang'an's hand, her chubby little hand grabbing as much as it could, her face filled with happiness.

This girl.

So easily satisfied, who knows, one day she might be lured away with just a piece of candy.

Seeing this, Chen Chang'an couldn't help but shake his head, full of envy for the little girl.

Such a innocent life, he was destined not to have.

Then, seeing that the little girl's heart was all on the candy, Chen Chang'an continued to "eat his meal".

The sky is vast, the earth is vast, but eating is the greatest!

At the same time, while Chen Chang'an and the little girl were joking, they didn't notice that on the side of the kitchen, Liu Laohan and his wife were also watching.

When they saw the harmonious interaction between the little girl and Chen Chang'an, both of them felt relieved.

"Wife, I've made up my mind. I will teach Xiaocui to cook in the future."

"?? Husband, are you really decided to do this?"

Liu Shi was taken aback by his words.

In fact, it was her suggestion to Liu Laohan a long time ago that Xiaocui should cook in the future.

Because Xiaocui really liked cooking, she had always enjoyed it.

During this period of time, she had been causing trouble in the kitchen, which proved this point.

She just didn't dare to mention it to the two of them.

Liu Laohan nodded, "Yes, wife, I think it's appropriate to do so."

"In the future, I may not be able to cook for the young master anymore, and can only rely on Xiaocui."

"?? Husband, you can't cook for the young master anymore? Why?" Liu Shi asked in confusion.

"Are you thinking of quitting?"

"Wife, it's not that. If possible, I will continue to run this restaurant."

"It's just that I may not be able to entertain the young master anymore." Liu Laohan smiled bitterly at his words.

In his eyes, there was also a lot of desolation.

Liu Shi didn't understand what Liu Laohan meant.

"?? Can't entertain the young master anymore? Lao Liu, why?"

"Don't tell me you're cursing the young master to die!"

Liu Laohan directly smiled bitterly, "Wife, you misunderstood me. How could I be such an ungrateful beast?"

"The reason I said that is because of something else."

Then, without waiting for Liu Shi's reaction, Liu Laohan asked a question directly.

"Wife, let me ask you, how was the young master when you first saw him ten years ago?"

How was the young master when I first saw him ten years ago?

Liu Shi was taken aback, not understanding why her husband suddenly asked her this question.

But after thinking for a moment, she answered like this.

"Elegant and refined, with a transcendent temperament, like a young master from a prestigious family."

"Then let me ask you, how is the young master now, ten years later, when we see him again?"

Liu Laohan asked again.

How is the young master now, when we see him again?

Liu Shi carefully recalled the scene of seeing Chen Chang'an today, and then said,

"He is still as elegant and refined as before, as if nothing has changed."

"Yes, elegant and refined, as if nothing has changed."

"Wife, now look at us." Liu Laohan asked again.

Before Liu Shi could say anything, Liu Laohan said,

"Ten years ago, we were in our prime, like young leaves and branches."

"But now, we are old and no longer young."

Young leaves and branches? No longer young?

"Husband, what are you saying?"

After hearing Liu Laohan speak so clearly, Liu Shi instantly understood what he meant, and asked in astonishment.

Liu Laohan smiled bitterly, "Yes, wife, it seems you should also understand now."

"The young master is not an ordinary mortal like us, he should be a 'immortal' living on the mountain."

Then, he continued to say,

"One day in the sky, one year on earth."

"In these years, the young master has appeared in the noodle shop less and less."

"From once a month, to half a year, one year, two years, three years."

"One day in the sky, one year on earth."

"It is said that the higher the cultivation of an 'immortal', the longer their awakening time."
