Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Until the afternoon, a knock on the door echoed. Lin Jing woke up, then walked out and opened the courtyard door. Standing at the door was none other than Huang Qingling, and of course, her shoulder's Black Kite. The Black Kite still glared at Lin Jing with anger, but it did not attack. Lin Jing was speechless, clearly the victim, he was being targeted by the Black Kite as if it were the one aggrieved. "Lin Jing, I came early, you don't mind, do you?" As she spoke, Huang Qingling walked into the yard. "Qing Ling Daoist jokes," Lin Jing replied. "Take a seat for a moment, I'll go prepare the ingredients. By the time Elder Yu comes back in the evening, it should be nearly done." "Okay," said Huang Qingling, who didn't mind at all, went directly to the pavilion in the yard, and sat down, playing with the Black Kite. Lin Jing also smiled slightly and then paid her no more attention. Although he had not cooked for a while, the skill seemed to be etched into his brain, leaving a deep impression. In the evening, as the cooking smoke began to rise, Lin Jing busied himself alone in the kitchen. Soon, the fragrance wafted out, and Huang Qingling, smelling it, kept glancing toward the kitchen, no longer in the mood to play. As dusk fell, with all the dishes ready, Huang Qingling had just set the table when Elder Yu arrived. "Elder Yu..." "Hurry up, we've been waiting for you." Lin Jing opened the courtyard door and welcomed Elder Yu in. "I've just finished dealing with the business at Yuebaolou and rushed over here without stopping." "I had wanted to invite Elder Bai as well, but he was unavailable due to other matters." "Did I keep you waiting long?" Elder Yu asked them. "No, the dishes were just finished, your timing couldn't be better," Lin Jing replied with a smile. "Old Man Yu, come quick, I can hardly wait any longer." "Don't worry about Old Man Bai, if he were here, we wouldn't feel at ease," Huang Qingling said, then turned her gaze to the food on the table, already drooling. The fragrance of the food while Lin Jing was cooking had already whetted her appetite. Now that the food was served, she was even more eager; had it not been for waiting for Elder Yu, she likely would have started eating already. "Good... good... very good..." Elder Yu said, and walked over with Lin Jing. After the three of them sat down, Lin Jing broke the silence, "Come, try it, how does it taste?" The two reached out with their chopsticks, each picking up a piece of meat and placing it in their mouths. "Hmm~" Huang Qingling's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly picked another dish. "This is good too..." Meanwhile, Elder Yu was much more elegant. "Hmm...indeed, it's good," he said. "I hadn't expected Little Lin to have such a skill." "Good, good..." Huang Qingling, her mouth full of food, mumbled, "Indeed, I think it could rival the chefs at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion." "No, from now on, I'm going to come here every day for you to cook for me." "That hardly seems feasible; he still has Alchemy to do," Elder Yu interjected quickly. Huang Qingling's eyes darted as she spoke, "How about I talk to Elder Bai and ask him to lighten Lin Jing's duties a bit?" "Qing Ling Daoist, being a Pill Master and Offering Priest for Yuebaolou, that wouldn't be quite right," Lin Jing said. "How about this, I'll set aside time every month to cook for you a few times, how's that?" "Yes, yes!" Huang Qingling clapped her hands enthusiastically in agreement. On the side, the Black Kite stared intently at Huang Qingling, who was slowly enjoying her meal, and swayed restlessly. "What, you want to eat too?" Huang Qingling turned and asked. The Black Kite nodded repeatedly. Clearly, it understood what Huang Qingling was saying. "But this dish was made by Lin Jing, we definitely have to ask him. You were so harsh to him before, how about an apology?" Lin Jing and Elder Yu were also curious, watching the human and the eagle communicate effortlessly. However, the Black Kite seemed unimpressed, glared at Lin Jing, and then turned its back. Still, it kept glancing back at the table full of delicacies, especially the aromatic roasted chicken in the center. Lin Jing couldn't help feeling embarrassed and touched his nose. "Let it eat," Elder Yu finally spoke up, breaking the awkwardness. "Okay, Elder Yu head..." Huang Qingling said with a giggly smile. Then, she picked up the roasted chicken from the table and tore off a big piece. "Little Sparrow, here..." Huang Qingling, regardless of how the Black Kite felt, shoved a big piece of meat into its mouth, causing it to flap its wings frantically, rolling its eyes, taking quite a while to recover. Watching this scene, Lin Jing couldn't help but smirk. "Elder Yu..." Lin Jing then took out the Qing Hua Drunk he prepared earlier. Elder Yu chuckled. "Heh heh... you really know me. How can there be no wine at the dinner table?" Lin Jing opened the wine jar, and the fragrance wafted out; Elder Yu took a deep breath and exclaimed: "Fragrant..." "Truly fragrant..." Lin Jing poured a cup for both Elder Yu and himself, and that's when Huang Qingling objected. "I want some too..." "Elder Yu head, I've seen you sneaking drinks away from me all the time." "Old Man Bai isn't here this time, so I want to try it too." "Elder Yu...?" Lin Jing looked at Elder Yu to ask for his opinion. "Since Qing Ling wants to drink, let her have a cup to try." Elder Yu nodded. "Okay..." After saying that, Lin Jing took out a cup and poured one for Huang Qingling too. "Here, Elder Yu..." "I toast to you, thanking you for taking care of me all this time." With that, Lin Jing lifted his cup in a toast to Elder Yu and then drank it all in one go. Seeing this, Huang Qingling imitated him, raised her cup, and went to gulp it down. Then... "Cough... cough cough..." "What is this, it doesn't taste good at all." Huang Qingling scrunched up her face and spat out the wine from her mouth. "Hiss... ha..." "Why is it a bit spicy..." Huang Qingling quickly grabbed a few bites of food to quell the spicy sensation in her mouth. "Hahaha..." Elder Yu laughed heartily. "Now you know why I didn't let you drink..." "Elder Yu head, is this what you drink all the time... " "Yes, how about it, still want more?" Elder Yu nodded. "Forget it, I'll never drink it again..." Huang Qingling shook her head like a rattle drum. By now, the Black Kite had finished the big chunk of meat, cocked its head, and looked at Huang Qingling with a puzzled expression, then glanced at the half-filled cup of wine. Next, it hopped off Huang Qingling's shoulder, bowed its head, and started tasting the wine from the cup. But very soon... The Black Kite fluttered its wings and took flight, zooming out the door and plunging its head into the fishpond. It took a while before it flew back in. Then, it glared at Lin Jing angrily. Lin Jing felt quite innocent; although he poured the wine, it was the bird that drank it voluntarily. He hadn't done anything. Next, the Black Kite transformed into a streak of black light and shot out...
