When a person felt extreme anger, they would find it very hard to stay calm and would often do irrational things. 

This was the case for the man who suddenly rushed through the streets. 

He approached the petite girl step by step, his eyes flashing as if he could burn everything down. 

However, when faced with cold metal pressed to his neck, the dreadful bubble of anger immediately shrank down to a point.
Instead, he put on a trembling smile. 

To suddenly go from angrily scowling to smiling was rated a difficulty of ten stars. 

“Boy!” 

“You’re fucking courting death!”

“You dare to point your blade at our boss?!”

Several subordinates glowered. 

As they said this, their boss almost spat blood. 

Your daddy is still being threatened by a blade to the neck.
What if you agitated him and his hand slipped? Your daddy’s head would fly!

Shua!

Jun Changxiao raised the Azure Dragon Naginata a little higher, such that it was not only a paper’s width from the boss’s neck. 

“These subordinates of yours also do not understand the concept of politeness.”

The blade flashed with a terrifying light. 

Seeing the gleam of the blade, the boss felt his scalp tingle.
He shivered.
“Friend… Big brother! Sworn brother! This brother has taught them improperly! Don’t… Don’t lower yourself to their level!”

He then turned to the rest of the men.
“You group of bastards! Why have you not apologized to my sworn brother?”

The subordinates also realized that their boss’s situation was very dangerous.
Collectively, they shouted, “Sworn brother, we were wrong!”

Jun Changxiao lightly said, “I’ll give you three minutes, quickly scram.
One…”

Just as the words were being spoken, the boss had already brought his subordinates to run off scared shitless. 

Jun Changxiao shook his head and recalled the blade.
“They’re gone, you’re safe.”

The girl poked her head out from behind him and looked around, determining that the crowd of men had gone.
She then walked around and knelt to the floor down a putong and gratefully said, “Many thanks, Sect Head Jun!”

Jun Changxiao said, “I just did not want to watch a group of men bullying a girl.
You don’t need to do this.”

“Hehe.
I knew Sect Head Jun was a good person.” The girl stood up and looked at him, a smile on her face. 

Jun Changxiao was able to look at her properly. 

She was about thirteen or fourteen, with delicate features.
She was short, only reaching his chest.
Her long black hair was untied and her big watery eyes blinked up at him.
Although her face was covered in dust, it did not hide her beauty. 

Very adorable…

That was Jun Changxiao’s first impression. 

The girl was also observing him, then chuckled.
“Sect Head Jun is even more beautiful up close.”

Does that mean this Lord looks ugly from far away? Also, using the word ‘beautiful’ to describe me… Do I look feminine or something? Jun Changxiao shook his head.
“I must head back, so you should leave too.”

“Sect Head Jun!” The girl blocked his way, her eyes glistening with tears.
“Can I join the Ironbone Unyielding Sect?”

Her appearance was very miserable, making people feel pity. 

Jun Changxiao shook his head though.
“Sorry, I am not accepting disciples for the time being.”

He also wanted to accept this adorable young girl into the sect, but the sect membership had reached the maximum.
If it went over, he might be punished by the system. 

The girl started to cry, her face becoming a mess as the dust became rivulets of mud. 

What the hell.

Not even a second had passed, why was she crying?

Could she cry on command?

The girl wiped the tears with her sleeve, which only smeared the dust around.
“Wuwuwu… Sect Head Jun, if I can’t be a disciple, you can also make me do odd jobs as a servant.”

Sect Head Jun had just decisively killed two Spirit Spring elders, but was helpless before this crying girl.

“Hey, hey.
Don’t cry…”

“Wah!” The girl immediately began to cry even harder.
She turned into a weeping beauty, acting as if something terribly grievous had just happened. 

“Sect Head Jun?”

“What happened to the girl?”

“It can’t be that he bullied her, right?”

“Eh? You’re the leader of a sect.
Even bullying little girls… Where’s your humanity?”

Etc.
Etc. 

The girl’s tears alarmed the passersby. 

They gathered around the two and pointed at Jun Changxiao. 

Sect Head Jun’s facial expression kept changing. 

“Wah, wah, wah!” The girl continued to cry. 

Jun Changxiao finally had enough and shouted, “Stop crying!”

Gah!

The girl immediately stopped crying. 

She looked at Jun Changxiao with thin lips and red-rimmed eyes, the picture of a pitiful creature. 

“Wah!” 

Not even a second had passed until she was crying again. 

“Sect Head Jun, you are a sect leader.
Bullying a girl, do you still have a conscience?”

“She’s but a child!”

Jun Changxiao was speechless.

Finally he said, “Stop crying.
This Lord agrees.”

The girl smiled through her tears.
“Many thanks, Sect Head Jun!”

She was just crying her heart out a moment ago, but now she was smiling.
She must have studied Sichuan opera — she changed faces too quickly.

“Hah,” Jun Changxiao shook his head.
“Let’s go.”

“Yes!” The girl quickly ran after him. 

As they walked, she introduced herself.
“Sect Head Jun, my name is Liu Wanshi.
My nickname is Dudu, so you can call me Dudu.”

Liu Wanshi? 

Jun Changxiao secretly had a thought, Such a poetic name really doesn’t fit her. [2]

Although they had only just met, he had already seen that the young girl had a quirky and devilish character.

How much time does the Speed Talisman have left?

[Five minutes.]

I can’t bring the child with me… I guess I can’t rush to the sect and can only call for a carriage.

Rumble~

After walking a few steps, Liu Wanshi’s stomach rumbled in hunger.
She patted her stomach and pitifully said, “Sect Head Jun, I haven’t eaten at all today.”

“What do you want to eat?”

“I want to eat Star Moon Pavillion’s fried gardenias, honeyed ham, jujube rice cakes, braised beef, and roasted chicken!”

Liu Wanshi listed several dishes in one breath.

Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched.
Just from hearing the names, he already knew they were all expensive. 

However, on the other hand, after transmigration, he had spent every day eating plain rice and vegetables or noodles.
Now that he had the money, he should enjoy some fine dining. 

Snap!

Jun Changxiao snapped his fingers.
“Lead the way, let’s head to Star Moon Pavillion.”

Star Moon Pavillion.

Qingyang City’s most famous restaurant, they had a secret recipe for fried gardenia and an array of multicolored dishes.
It was very well known among the gourmet circle. 

Every year, there would be guests who travelled thousands of miles just to have a taste.

At this moment, on floor three of the restaurant, Jun Changxiao and Liu Wanshi were whirlwinds as they ate through the places of food. 

“Burp!” After about half an hour, Jun Changxiao relaxed into his seat.
“True delicacies!”

Liu Wanshi stood with her tiny legs on the chair and used a toothpick to point at the dishes before them.
“This dish had too little salt, fail.
This dish wasn’t cooked for long enough, fail.
This dish used too much oil, a failure among failures!”

Jun Changxiao was quite speechless.
“You still ate a lot though.”

Liu Wanshi huffed.
“Sect Head, you must know that when a person is hungry, they don’t care about the quality of the food.”

Seeing her lovable and earnest appearance, Jun Changxiao teased, “It seems you know how to cook.”

“I don’t know how to prepare food,” she said.
“I only know the culinary arts.”

Jun Changxiao was speechless again.
“What is the difference between preparing food and the culinary arts? Aren’t they both cooking?”

“There is a big difference,” Liu Wanshi solemnly explained.
“Preparing food is just making food to eat.
The culinary arts are more comprehensive.
For example, there is stir-fry, pan-fry, deep-dry, saute, boil, poach, simmer, broil, braise, roast, grill…”

“Stop talking!” Jun Changxiao quickly cut her off.
He was surprised for another reason, “You know the culinary arts?” 

“Naturally.” Liu Wanshi crossed her arms and proudly leaned against the chair.
“If culinary talent was graded like spiritual roots, I would be divine-grade.”

“So amazing?” Jun Changxiao was doubtful. 

Liu Wanshi smiled.
“If Sect Head doesn’t believe me, after we return to the sect, I can use my two hands and show you a genuine fine dining experience.”
