Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 643 - 646 Surveillance

Watching Swallow Li's face of pure enjoyment, Liu Ergou, who was already filled with sorrow and anger, became even more displeased.

"My dear Senior Sister," Liu Ergou said, pausing after each word, "why didn't you tell me you could cook!"

"Is it really okay to deceive my innocent heart like this? Do you have any idea how much you've hurt me?"

Ning Hua, who was busy eating, couldn't be bothered to glance at Liu Ergou. She answered between bites, "What does you being hurt have to do with me?"

"Besides, you never asked if I could cook, did you? And anyway, doesn't your sister-in-law cook for you? Why should I bother!"

Ning Hua's words were delivered with such righteous indignation that they rendered Liu Ergou speechless.

Staring at the smug Ning Hua in front of him, Liu Ergou remained silent for a good while before finally squeezing out a sentence through clenched teeth.

"Give me a bowl! I want to eat too!"

Without another word, Liu Ergou unceremoniously sat down next to Swallow Li, snatched his chopsticks, and began to eat with gusto.

This left Swallow Li completely at a loss.

"Hey! Kid, if you're going to eat, just eat! Why are you snatching my chopsticks?" Swallow Li protested, grabbing another pair to continue his meal.

At that moment, regardless of what Swallow Li said, Liu Ergou didn't hear a word. He had already channeled his grief and anger into an insatiable appetite, launching a furious assault on the dishes before him.

After Liu Ergou joined the fray, the previously light-hearted atmosphere grew tense. Both Ning Hua and Swallow Li abandoned their conversation, their heads bowed as they began eating frantically to keep up.

The feast that once filled the table was swiftly cleaned out by the trio in a matter of minutes.

Having eaten his fill and then some, Liu Ergou lay on his bed, utterly content as he rubbed his full belly. He couldn't have been more comfortable. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Ning Hua watched him and couldn't help but purse her lips. "Liu Ergou, you're infuriating! I made that meal for Master, and you ate half of it all by yourself!"

Without lifting his head, Liu Ergou replied, "Come on, Senior Sister, don't be so petty. I'm your junior brother, after all." He chuckled. "There's nothing wrong with a junior brother eating his senior sister's cooking, is there?"

Hearing this, Ning Hua decided not to argue any further. She just rolled her eyes and went to clean up the aftermath of the meal.

Meanwhile, Swallow Li eyed the motionless Liu Ergou, walked over, and kicked him.

Then he asked, "Alright, kid, stop playing innocent after getting your fill. It's been half a month. How's your special training coming along? What's your progress?"

"Let me tell you, if I'm not satisfied with your progress, I'll train you myself. And if you end up with broken bones, don't come crying to me!"

Swallow Li's words were so full of menace that they jolted Liu Ergou bolt upright in bed.

He replied obediently, "My progress has been pretty good, Master. I can now defeat Senior Sister Ning Hua within a hundred moves, and my control over True Qi has reached a new level."

Upon hearing this, Swallow Li couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. This kid said he could defeat Ning Hua?! That seems a bit far-fetched. To the uninitiated, Ning Hua might just seem like an ordinary peak Dark Energy fighter. But in reality, she has extensive combat experience. When it comes to pure martial skill, some Houtian cultivators might not even be her match. Yet this kid is claiming he can beat her in under a hundred moves.

Swallow Li found this incredibly hard to believe.

After a moment's thought, Swallow Li yelled toward the kitchen, "Ning Hua! This kid Er Gou claims he can defeat you in under a hundred moves. Is that true?"

Ning Hua's voice soon echoed from the kitchen. "Master, what Liu Ergou said is true. He can defeat me in under a hundred moves now. It's a tough fight, but he can do it."

Hearing this, Swallow Li fell silent. It's only been half a month. The kid's progress is just too fast.

Seeing the silent Swallow Li, Liu Ergou chuckled and was about to say something when a sudden scream pierced the air from the kitchen.

"AAAAAH!" Ning Hua shrieked. "A GHOST!"

Her scream was followed by the crash of shattering bowls and chopsticks.

The scream startled both Liu Ergou and Swallow Li, and the two of them immediately rushed toward the kitchen.

Upon entering the kitchen, they saw Ning Hua curled up in a corner, pointing at the window with a face full of fear.

Seeing this, Swallow Li immediately rushed to her side. "What's wrong, Ning Hua? What do you mean, a ghost?"

Ning Hua immediately replied, "Master, while I was washing the dishes, I saw a figure flash past the window. At first, I thought I was seeing things, but then it happened again!"

Upon hearing this, Swallow Li scoffed. "Hmph, a ghost? Sounds more like a person to me."

"Kid, come with me. Let's see what's going on." With that, Swallow Li leaped out the window to investigate.

Meanwhile, Liu Ergou casually left through the back door.

After looking around, Swallow Li discovered a clue. "Tsk, footprints?" he muttered. "They're so light... This person's lightness skill is impressive. In fact, it must be their specialty."

He dragged Liu Ergou over, gesturing for him to look.

Liu Ergou looked down and saw an incredibly faint footprint on the ground, so shallow it was almost unnoticeable. No doubt about it, this must be the "ghost" Ning Hua saw earlier!

Before Liu Ergou could speak, Swallow Li asked, "Kid, let me ask you, have you offended anyone recently? It looks like this person is here for you. They must be spying on you!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou shook his head vigorously. "Impossible, Master. Why would anyone spy on me? I'm just a rookie who's barely stepped foot in the Ancient Street. There's nothing about me worth watching."

"But then again, Master, is it possible this person is here for you? I mean, you did just show up at our village out of the blue today. What if..."

Liu Ergou's words were cut short by Swallow Li's booming laughter. "HAHAHA! Liu Ergou, you're a real piece of work! Coming after me? Let me tell you, that's impossible!"

Liu Ergou was completely bewildered.

"But Master, why is it impossible?"

Seeing Liu Ergou's confused expression, Swallow Li explained, "Kid, let me tell you, and I'm not just bragging—in the entire world of the Ancient Martial Sects, anyone who's ever dared to spy on me is already in the ground."

"The only exceptions are those Innate Grandmasters, of course, but those old monsters aren't bored enough to waste their time watching me."
