365 Qian Yu Cooks Dinner

“Chirp!” The Divine Fire Crow nodded its head vigorously, appearing very obedient.

Aloy then took out a red crystal and gave it to the Divine Fire Crow. “Divine Fire Crow, this demon core is for you,” she said with a smile.

The Divine Fire Crow’s eyes filled with a burning gaze as it looked at the demon core. Then, it ate it without hesitation.

The enormous energy contained in the demon core made the Divine Fire Crow roar in pain, then its aura increased dramatically. A moment later, everything returned to normal.

!!

“Coo, coo!” the Divine Fire Crow said excitedly.

“Haha, don’t be so polite. You’re now my most capable beast. I will definitely nurture you well.” Aloy smiled and patted the Divine Fire Crow’s head.

“Coo, coo!” The Divine Fire Crow nodded again, its eyes filled with joy.

“Alright, it’s time to cultivate. I’ll try out the new skills I’ve obtained over the few days—”

“Screech!”

Before she could finish, the sharp cry of the Divine Fire Crow resounded throughout the room. Then, its body expanded rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it became as big as a giant eagle of about five meters long. It had two prominent feathers on its head.

The Divine Fire Crow circled around Aloy a few times in the air and finally flapped its wings.

“Sou!”

A faint purple fireball condensed out of thin air and bombarded the wall beside Aloy.

The wall was blasted down with a bang, leaving a charred crumbling hole.

Aloy smiled and patted the Divine Fire Crow’s head while praising it, “Divine Fire Crow, well done. You’ll be my exclusive fire-attributed familiar from now on!”

“Coo, coo!” The Divine Fire Crow chirped happily, as if it was expressing its admiration for Aloy.

…

As soon as he reached home, Shen Fei pushed open the door and was greeted by the rich aroma of food.

Shen Fei frowned. ‘…What’s going on? Is there a thief in the house? But even if it was a thief, he wouldn’t use his kitchen to cook, right?’

Filled with questions, Shen Fei walked into the room and saw four dishes and a soup on the dining table. A bowl of stir-fried shredded radish, three eggs with bacon, a bowl of cucumber salad, and a bowl of fish head tofu soup.

When Shen Fei saw this, the corner of his mouth twitched and his facial muscles trembled involuntarily. Then, he saw a man in the kitchen.

‘Could it be that Father has returned?’ Thinking of this, a trace of happiness flashed in Shen Fei’s heart.

“Father, have you returned?” Shen Fei shouted. f𝘳𝐞𝒆wｅ𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟e𝑙. c𝘰𝓂

Hearing Shen Fei’s words, the man stopped cooking and slowly turned around. He smiled and said, “Oh, you’re back already?”

The man turned his head, but Shen Fei did not see the face he wanted to see.

“Senior Qian Yu, why did you come to my house to cook?” Shen Fei said in surprise.

Logically speaking, Qian Yu should still be on an expedition inside the wormhole.

“I just came to visit you, but I realized that no one was at your house, so I made dinner for you,” Qian Yu explained with a smile.

“Uh… Thank you for your concern, Senior,” Shen Fei said, feeling a bit dazed.

Qian Yu said, “You don’t have to be so polite with me. Hurry up and wash your hands. It’s time to eat.” With that, Qian Yu walked out of the kitchen with bowls and chopsticks.

Shen Fei sighed helplessly. He did not know when his father would appear.

“Here.” Qian Yu handed Shen Fei a serving of rice in a bowl.

When he saw the white rice and the clear fish head tofu soup on the table, Shen Fei could not help but gulp. His stomach growled from hunger.

“Thank you.” Shen Fei nodded and put a piece of shredded radish into his mouth first. After chewing a few times, his eyes suddenly flashed with surprise.

“Senior Qian Yu, your culinary skills are not bad,” Shen Fei said with a smile. He picked up another piece of shredded radish and stuffed it into his mouth.

“Try this and see if you like it.” Qian Yu picked up a few pieces of tofu from the fish head tofu soup and put it in Shen Fei’s bowl.

“Alright.” Shen Fei chuckled and savored the food happily. “Oh, it’s really delicious!”

Qian Yu’s eyes lit up when he heard this. He seemed very happy by Shen Fei’s reaction.

Shen Fei suddenly said, “By the way, Senior Qian Yu, you definitely didn’t come here just to cook for me, right? What was your real purpose for coming here?”

“Hehe, I do have something to tell you,” Qian Yu said.

“I knew it. Go on, Senior Qian Yu, tell me,” Shen Fei said.

Qian Yu was silent for a while before he looked at Shen Fei seriously and said, “Your father, Shen Teng, has passed away.”

Shen Fei’s heart shook. He forcefully suppressed the wave of emotions in his heart and pretended to be calm as he asked, “Senior, how did he die?”

Although he had expected this, when Qian Yu said it, it still felt like his heart was being pricked by needles.

“He was killed by bandits,” Qian Yu said.

“Bandits?” Shen Fei frowned. He did not recall there being such a profession.

“Yes, we met a group of bandits almost a year ago. Shen Teng fought with them and unfortunately lost his life. Before he died, he entrusted me to take care of you. However, due to various reasons you might probably be aware of, the officiation of this arrangement was delayed,” Qian Yu said apologetically.

After listening to Qian Yu’s words, Shen Fei fell silent.

“Sigh, Shen Teng was already seriously ill, and now he has lost his life. What a tragedy!” Qian Yu sighed.

Hearing Qian Yu’s sigh, Shen Fei also sighed, feeling very depressed.

Shen Teng managed to sober up and treated him well before he left to find his wife. Although he had been a deadbeat alcoholic for years after Shen Fei’s grandfather’s death, Shen Teng had taught him many of the basics of cultivation and beast taming when Shen Fei was a boy.

“I want to know how strong your soul power is,” Qian Yu suddenly said.

“Huh, why are you suddenly asking me this?” Shen Fei said in surprise.

“Because there is something that is very suitable for you to cultivate. However, your soul power might be too weak and cannot support this treasure at all. So, I want you to become stronger as soon as possible,” Qian Yu said seriously.

...

“What treasure?” Shen Fei asked, curious.

Qian Yu smiled mysteriously and pointed at the sky. “The Heavenly Lightning!”

“The Heavenly Lightning?” Shen Fei looked up.

The clouds outside surged, and a mass of dark clouds rolled over, blocking the afterglow of the setting sun and casting the world in shadow.

Immediately afterward, a dazzling electric snake slithered through the dark clouds, bringing with it destructive power as it slashed down fiercely. The power of this lightning bolt was immense! It was as if the sky could not withstand it and was about to shatter.

Seeing the Heavenly Lightning strike, Shen Fei became shocked.

“Is this a heavenly tribulation power?”

Qian Yu’s voice rang in his ears. “The Heavenly Lightning is naturally formed by the heavens and earth. It even possesses the power to destroy the heavens and earth. Even peak high-tier Beastmasters wouldn’t dare to meet its attacks head-on. Otherwise, death would be the only thing awaiting them.”
