Chapter 1281: Cooperation with the Jing Family

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After the sham with Yang Lan, Chi Shuyan looked at Zhen Yu, who had a happy and innocent look on her face, and sighed in her heart. She didn’t say much to her. Although there was a lot of crap between Chi Shuyan and Yang Lan, and Chi Shuyan was utterly repulsed by Yang Lan, in the end, Yang Lan still treated Zhen Yu well.

That was still pretty good of her.

There was no need to drag Zhen Yu into their mess.

Besides, she might have made up her mind to dig a pit for Yang Lan, but if the latter ultimately turned over a new leaf and was content to be with Feng Qin, Chi Shuyan wouldn’t be able to screw her over, as Yang Lan would naturally be relying on Feng Qin’s luck. However, if her heart wasn’t in the right place and she was greedy, who knew what would happen to her in the future? The important thing was which path she was willing to take.

After parting ways with the two, Chi Shuyan exited the school gate. She heaved a sigh of relief when she didn’t see anyone blocking the way, nor did she see Qi Zhenbai’s familiar car.

!!

Imperial Restaurant was a very convenient walk across the road from the university.

When she arrived at Imperial Restaurant, Chi Shuyan didn’t see Chef Li. There happened to be a lot of customers at the moment. Chi Shuyan felt that Chef Li was most likely in the kitchen. Looking at the two little guys who were helping to serve dishes, Chi Shuyan took out a lot of candy from her pockets and stuck talismans on them. She then took the talismans off and walked over to stuff the candy into the pockets of the two little guys so that they could eat as they worked.

Li Yu and Han Yu’s eyes lit up when they realized that Shuyan had given them candy. In fact, the two little guys were cute and very popular in the restaurant. The customers liked them and gave them treats from time to time. In the end, however, they were ghosts and couldn’t eat things that had yang energy. So, the two little guys couldn’t enjoy the good food that the customers usually gave them, which depressed them.

Hence, they were especially keen and happy with the candy from Chi Shuyan. Han Yu was happy, while Li Yu pretended to be indifferent. Although he didn’t hide his happiness, there was an air of arrogance between his eyebrows, as if he didn’t want to eat the candy. However, he was much faster than Han Yu at unwrapping the candy and stuffing it into his mouth; it tasted milky and sweet, and was very delicious.

The little guy’s cold and arrogant attitude also gradually softened. He suddenly hugged Chi Shuyan’s leg and said in his sweet voice, “Shuyan, you’re too good to me!”

It would be even better if Shuyan was willing to be his princess, the little guy muttered to himself.

Chi Shuyan never thought that the little guy would still be hung up on the idea of her as his ‘princess.’ She pinched the two kids’ faces with a smile. She did want to take them with her to the private room to play, but she was meeting Jing Hengran today to discuss important matters, so it wasn’t good to bring the two children over. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴovelFɪre.net

Han Yu and Li Yu were also thinking about earning money, and said in their cute voices that they didn’t have time to accompany her. Chi Shuyan wanted to laugh. The two children were so cute no matter how she looked at them.

Chef Li could be considered to be their grandfather, and he wouldn’t treat them badly. Besides, the two little guys were ghosts, after all, and couldn’t get tired. Chi Shuyan left them to continue earning money. She went upstairs to the private room.

Before she went upstairs, she felt a tugging on her clothes. Chi Shuyan subconsciously looked down and saw that it was the little guy, Li Yu. She thought that he still had something to say to her, and her lips curled up happily. “Is something the matter?”

Li Yu hurriedly nodded. He first looked around carefully, then looked upstairs fearfully. He had Chi Shuyan crouch down, then leaned in close to her ear and said, “Shuyan, there’s an annoying person up there who’s looking for you!”

Chi Shuyan was stunned when she heard the word “annoying.” Then, she thought of something, and smiled even wider. She patted the little guy’s butt. “Okay, I understand. Thank you!”

Li Yu, the little guy, had never forgotten that he was a noble prince. When Chi Shuyan suddenly patted his butt, his face flushed red. After a long while, he choked out, “Men and women shouldn’t touch each other.” Then, he ran off with the plate he was holding.

Seeing his crown prince run away, Han Yu also ran after him.

Chi Shuyan laughed uncontrollably as she watched the two little guys run off.

She went upstairs to the private room and pushed the door open.

Sure enough!

Jing Hengran was already waiting in the private room. When all was said and done, the Jing family wasn’t an ordinary one. Chi Shuyan was familiar with Celestial Masters and cultivators, but not with ancient martial families.

If Jing Hengran could tell that Chef Li, Li Yu and Han Yu were different, it was no wonder that the little guy was afraid of the man. Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes dangerously and regretted inviting him to Imperial Restaurant.

But it was too late now. Chi Shuyan was still confident in her ability to protect Chef Li and the boys. If the man in front of her really wanted to find trouble with them, the restaurant could just be shut down. She would put Chef Li and the boys in her Cosmos Ring, and there would be no fear that the Jing family would find them.

Besides, the Jing family needed her help now; she didn’t believe that they were stupid enough to attack her people. Thinking this, she relaxed and strode over to greet Jing Hengran familiarly. “Young Master Jing, did you wait long? I’ll be the host today. You can order whatever you want!”

Jing Hengran’s eyes were no longer as calm as before, and his gaze was searching. Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and took the initiative to pour two cups of tea.

Jing Hengran was a smart person. He just sighed and probed, “Miss Chi is really an amazing person. Even the chef and children in this restaurant are out of the ordinary!”

Chi Shuyan wasn’t surprised that the other party could see through Chef Li and the boys. After all, he was also an experienced person, so she didn’t hide anything. She said calmly, “I do own this restaurant. The chef and the children are all my people. What? Does Young Master Jing have a problem with them?”

Jing Hengran was a smart person and was aware that he was here to request something of her, so he naturally couldn’t offend her. Besides, he wasn’t a Daoist priest who boasted about subduing demons and eliminating ghosts. He wasn’t interested in that; he was more interested in maximizing the benefits of valuable things.

Speaking of which, he was just curious about this restaurant as well as about the chef and children who were full of yin energy. Since it wasn’t appropriate, Jing Hengran immediately restrained his curiosity and said very earnestly, “Miss Chi, we’re friends; how can I have a problem with your people? I am a little interested, but I am more interested in Miss Chi right now!”

The Jing family heir was good with his words, and he made himself very clear. Chi Shuyan was very satisfied with his words. Knowing that he didn’t plan to nag about whether or not Chef Li and the boys were human or ghost, Chi Shuyan was even more satisfied. She liked dealing with smart people like him, and had a better impression of the man in front of her.

She was in a good mood. As soon as the dishes were served, Chi Shuyan didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point. She suddenly said, “What Young Master Jing proposed before, I accept!”

Jing Hengran didn’t usually have much of an appetite. Besides, ever since he started cultivating, he didn’t like to eat ordinary food. Instead, he liked to eat food with a bit of spiritual energy in it. However, the spiritual energy on Earth was depleted.

There was too little food which contained spiritual energy, and it was too extravagant to eat it all the time – Jing Hengran could only feast every now and then, and wasn’t interested in ordinary food. However, when he smelled the aroma of the food that was on the dining table, he couldn’t help but be drawn to it. It clearly didn’t contain any spiritual energy, but it was very tempting. So, when Chi Shuyan said that she wanted to cooperate with the Jing family, Jing Hengran only reacted after a while. Hearing her get straight to the point, his hands trembled violently. His face was filled first with disbelief, then elation and excitement. “Miss… Miss Chi, what did you just say?”

Seeing the man in front of her immediately regain his composure after his initial excitement, Chi Shuyan became even more guarded. This heir of the Jing family probably wasn’t someone who could be fooled, and had profound thoughts. However, it was too late for regrets. She could only be more careful in the future and interact less with him.

She repeated her words lightly. “I mean, let’s cooperate! I’ll refine the pills, and the Jing family will provide the herbs!”

If not for how important it was that this young lady agreed to a cooperation, Jing Hengran wouldn’t have lost control so abruptly.

After all, alchemists were too rare on Earth, and there were even fewer who were truly talented, like the young lady in front of him. Medicinal pills were undoubtedly extremely important to cultivators. Jing Hengran hadn’t been able to suppress his emotions just now, but he quickly calmed down. He feigned calm on the surface, but was still overjoyed and excited in his heart. He nodded. “Okay!”

Jing Hengran really wanted to rope her in, so he added, “I’ve said before that I’ll agree to whatever terms you may have. Miss Chi, what are your terms?”
