Sorry but I only accept female disciples!

Ling Shen's kitchen was bustling with the sounds of sizzling pans and fragrant aromas that filled the air. She was deeply focused on her cooking when the kitchen doors opened with a soft creak.

"Hm?" Ling Shen paused, turning toward the entrance. Her eyes immediately lit up, and a wide smile spread across her face "Little Brother, Ming, Fumin, and Fei...!"

Her voice carried excitement as she waved them over. "Come in, come in!"

Smiling, all of them entered the kitchen and the waiters were dumbfounded as suddenly beautiful women dropped in the kitchen.

"W-Who are they..."

Ling Shen walked closer to them and hugged Zhao Ming "Ming... it's been some time."

"Yeah, it really has been."

She cast a soft glance at Zhang Yuan "Little brother..."

Zhang Yuan returned her smile and Ling Shen asked "Why the sudden visit, all of you..."

With a giggle, Zhang Fumin spoke "Of course, we came to eat... after all, who wouldn't want to taste the hand-cooked meals of the Immortal Chef herself?"

Ling Shen couldn't help but laugh at the flattering title, her eyes twinkling with pride. "Come, let's head upstairs. I'll prepare something special for all of you."

The five of them walked upstairs to the VIP room and entered.

The room was cozy, with soft cushions around a grand table, the perfect setting for an intimate meal and they settled around the table.

Zhang Fumin pulled Zhang Yuan's hand, making him sit beside her "Come here, Little brother..."

"Hm.."

As they sat, Ling Shen showed a bright smile "Wait five minutes, I will be back with delicious dishes for you."

"Yeah, yeah..."

Zhang Yuan wrapped his arm around Zhang Fumin's shoulder pulling her closer and Zhang Ming who was sitting opposite them "You are close as I remember..."

"Of course... hehe." Zhang Fumin giggled hugging him back.

Moments later, Ling Shen returned, this time carrying a large tray laden with dishes. The sight of the food immediately drew their attention, and as she began placing the plates on the table, the rich aromas swirled in the air, making their mouths water.

"Baozi, Peking Duck, Mapo Tofu, Sweet and Sour Pork, Kung Pao Chicken, Chow Mein, Xiaolongbao... hope you will like this."

Zhang Fumin hurriedly nodded and took her plate to eat her food "Of course we will like it, Aunty Shen... it is made by you after all."

Zhang Yuan, too, wasted no time digging into the food, savoring the flavors. As he ate, a fleeting thought crossed his mind, reminding him of someone. 'Yuelin would've loved this… Oh, I should've brought Yu'er (Mei Yu) along.'

"Here, Yuan..."

Zhang Fumin took a spoonful of the flood and brought it near Zhang Yuan's mouth.

Without hesitation, he opened his lips to eat her spoonfed food and glanced at Xiangli Fei who was sitting opposite him.

Feeling his gaze, Xiangli Fei blushed faintly and lowered her head to continue her meal.

Time seemed to pass in a comfortable rhythm, with the five of them sharing laughs and enjoying their feast.

Eventually, the plates were emptied, and the room was filled with the satisfied sighs of those who had indulged.

Ling Shen entered the room "Ha, I am glad... you finished eating all of them..."

Zhang Ming stretched her arms and leaned back leisurely in her seat, rubbing her stomach contentedly. "I'm full... and your food was perfect as always, Shen."

Xiangli Fei, feeling the same contentment, shifted down until she lay across Zhang Ming's lap, her long hair spilling across the seat. "Me too..."

Seeing them, Zhang Yuan smiled and patted Zhang Fumin's head "Than I am leaving Big sister..."

Zhang Fumin nodded, but before he could leave, she leaned forward and planted a soft kiss on his cheek "I will come and visit you later, Yuan..."

"Hm..."

Zhang Yuan disappeared from there and Zhang Fumin also fell back on her seat "Ahh, I am going to sleep here."

Ling Shen chuckled at the sight of them lounging in her VIP room. "You're always welcome here, no matter how long you stay. Rest as much as you like."

...

Zhang Yuan reappeared in the time stopped world and looked down at his disciples and Mei Yu froze in time.

*flick* He sat on the wooden bench beside Mei Yu and the time flow continued...

Instantly, the world resumed its flow, the soft rustling of leaves returning and the breeze fluttering their hair.

Xue Hua glanced at the training dummy in front of her.

The wooden figure was meticulously carved to mirror her appearance, down to the cold, stoic expression she so often has.

She tilted her head slightly, murmuring to herself, "It will adapt to me and fight with me?"

"Yeah, this will make you better in close combat and since your energy is quite rough, it will inflict even more damage."

Xue Hua gave a faint nod, her face still expressionless "I see, thank you.. Master."

Zhang Yuan smiled faintly and Ming Yuelin who was standing behind him on the bench hugged his neck "Masster~~ give me a dummy like this to train."

Zhang Yuan chuckled, a soft sound escaping his lips as he turned his head slightly, to pinch her cheek. "No, Lin'er. You don't need such a dummy. You can continue training with the ones you already have."

Ming Yuelin glanced at Xue Hua in the corner of her eyes and noticed she was inspecting the life size dummy of her.

Seizing the opportunity, Ming Yuelin leaned down kissing his lips and Zhang Yuan too reciprocated her kiss, softly sucking her luscious lips.

As she pulled back from the kiss, a soft smile crept over her lips and she moved forward sitting on his lap.

Seeing them being romantic, Mei Yu shook her head helplessly.

"Master..." Ming Yuelin whispered, her tone carrying a teasing lilt, as she hugged him closer.

Zhang Yuan too wrapped his arms around her waist, his hands resting comfortably on her hips.

As Xue Hua turned her head, she saw Ming Yuelin massaging Zhang Yuan's shoulder while sitting on his lap.

She gave a respectable bow and asked "Master... this disciple will accept the gift. However, Master can you change the dummy's appearance."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan raised an eyebrow "I can change the appearance. How do you want it to be though?"

A cold glint passed through Xue Hua's body as she clenched her fist, murderous intent oozing out of her body "The Holy Maiden of the Yu Hong Holy Land, Hong Shi..."

Ming Yuelin who was sitting on his lap shivered in shock feeling her murderous intent 'T-This woman is crazy...;

Zhang Yuan let out a soft chuckle, clearly amused by Xue Hua's request. "But I've never seen this Hong Shi before. How would I be able to recreate her appearance for the dummy?"

Xue Hua remained silent for a moment before Zhang Yuan added, his tone light and teasing "I can use Lin'er's appearance on the dummy and you can beat it."

╥﹏╥ Ming Yuelin immediately pouted, crossing her arms in protest. "You're a meanie, Master…" she whined, her lips forming a cute pout as she leaned back against him.

Keeping his smile, Zhang Yuan patted her head affectionately and at this time, Ming Yuelin remembered "Now that I remember it master.. that Hong Shi almost violated me back in the inheritance ground."

Huh? Xue Hua raised an eyebrow upon hearing this "Senior sister, she... violated you?"

With a nod, Ming Yuelin spoke "Yeah, as soon as I entered the Inheritance Ground, she was the first one I came across and suddenly she began to fight me."

"And then she... pushed me on the floor and began to sniff me."

Wtf? Xue Hua was weirded out by her and her gaze squinted 'So she has that kind of fetish... I got another information about Hong Shi.'

Zhang Yuan smiled dryly in his heart 'She must have sensed my scent in her body as Yuelin was practically hugging me all day... and Hong Shi.'

'That girl… she remembers me well.'

Ming Yuelin nodded again, her expression filled with frustration. "It was so weird! She was sniffing me all over, and then, out of nowhere, she apologized and left. I don't know what she was after, but it was creepy."

Xue Hua clenched her fist as the memories of Hong Shi killing her siblings hovered in her mind 'I will surely exact my revenge...'

Zhang Yuan glanced at the killing intent oozing out of Xue Hua and smiled 'Things surely will get interesting...'

However, Xue Hua hurriedly shook her head and pulled herself out of those thoughts 'For now, I have to focus on my cultivation and I need to find a way to pay back to my Master for all the things he did.'

She glanced at Zhang Yuan and bowed her head in respect "Master, then I shall take my leave. I will go and continue to cultivate."

Zhang Yuan nodded his head "Yeah, you can go..."

As she left, Ming Yuelin giggled "Hehe, now we can cuddle and kiss... as long as we want"

Ming Yuelin moved her lips close to his face, however, Zhang Yuan grabbed her head and pushed her away from him "No, now you have to go and train..."

（>﹏<）"Nooo, whyyy Masterrrr!'

"In that case, I shall cuddle with My Lord."

"SISTER YU!"
