Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty

Chapter 114: Chapter 114: The Legendary Liu Mingshu

By the time Lu Xiao finished all the dishes on the table, it was already 8 p.m.

Even then, Liu Mingshu asked him if he had eaten enough.

Indeed, with the status of an adopted son, the treatment was completely different.

In the past few days, Liu Mingshu didn’t care whether he was hungry or not, and even when he shamelessly mooched some food, she would give him sass and roll her eyes.

"If you’ve eaten enough, go for a walk to digest, I’ll take care of these," Liu Mingshu pointed at the table and said.

"I’ll do the dishes!" Lu Xiao immediately stood up.

Doing dishes after freeloading was the least one could do.

He had eaten at Liu Mingshu’s place several times these past days, and each time it was he who washed the dishes afterward.

"No need, no need, just tidy them up a bit and put them in the dishwasher, it’s not a big deal," Liu Mingshu waved her hand.

Lu Xiao blinked several times, "Didn’t you say the dishwasher was broken?"

When he wanted to use the dishwasher while doing the dishes before, Liu Mingshu had said it was broken and couldn’t be used, so they had to wash by hand.

"It’s not broken," Liu Mingshu replied subconsciously.

Having said that, Liu Mingshu seemed to recall something and hastily added, "Ah, it was fixed yesterday."

Lu Xiao pursed his lips, do you think I believe that...

"Alright, alright, go out," Liu Mingshu directly pushed Lu Xiao outside.

Lu Xiao rubbed his belly, hmm, indeed, he needed to walk it off, or it wouldn’t digest.

It was the perfect opportunity to check out Shengjing at night, too.

No sooner had Lu Xiao stepped out the door than a figure leapt onto the wall of the house, and after a few swift movements, landed at the kitchen door.

"Getting more and more unruly, come in," Liu Mingshu’s voice came from the kitchen.

Outside, Su Yan stuck out her tongue and then pushed the door open.

Seeing the table full of empty dishes, Su Yan was flabbergasted.

So many dishes? There must be at least a dozen!

Master Liu didn’t like cooking, did she? Usually, when she cooked, it was as simple as possible.

Master Liu also disliked the smell of cooking, seldom touched meat or fish dishes, and usually, she just boiled some vegetables or shellfish.

But on the table, there were clearly hearty dishes with heavy use of oil, red-braised pork knuckles, big plate chicken, spicy and sour fish head...

"Master Liu, who did you cook all this for?" Su Yan couldn’t help but ask.

She had always thought she was the one Liu Mingshu cared about the most, but now it seemed she was mistaken; she had never been treated to such lavish dishes.

"Lu Xiao," Liu Mingshu’s lips curled into a slight smile.

Out of the ten dishes, Lu Xiao had almost completely devoured all of them.

Must be nice.

Su Yan’s eyes widened, Lu Xiao?

Did he come back from the Martial Arts Exchange?

But that didn’t make sense either; since when did Lu Xiao get so close to Master Liu?

"Master Liu."

"I know what you want to ask," Liu Mingshu cut Su Yan off directly, "Lu Xiao and I have a connection, I’ve taken him as my adopted son."

What?

Liu Mingshu had taken Lu Xiao as her adopted son!

"Master Liu, Lu Xiao is just an ordinary person," Su Yan was a bit puzzled by Liu Mingshu’s actions.

Who was Liu Mingshu? The first prodigious daughter of the Goo Clan in nearly a hundred years!

Despite Liu Mingshu leaving the Situ Family and breaking ties with the Goo Clan, it could not erase the legends she had created.

At seventeen, she broke through her restraints to achieve Inner Strength; at twenty-three, she reached Qi Force; and by twenty-eight, she single-handedly dominated the Goo Clan’s youth competition.

Two years after the youth competition, Liu Mingshu broke through the Qi Force, achieving Hua Jin.

A Hua Jin powerhouse at thirty, the whole Goo Clan was shaken.

But it was also in that same year, Situ Xin was driven to death, Liu Mingshu completely severed ties with the Situ Family, and left the Goo Clan.

"So what if he’s an ordinary person?!" Liu Mingshu huffed lightly.

Lu Xiao is my nephew by marriage and my adopted son. Even if he is worthless, he is not someone for you all to look down upon.

"But..."

"There are no buts," Liu Mingshu frowned, as Su Yan had been growing more and more audacious lately.

"Not that, Master Liu, what I mean is, I... I have reported Lu Xiao to the Su Family," Su Yan’s voice grew increasingly quieter.

And Liu Mingshu’s complexion had turned thoroughly dark.

"I told you not to involve Lu Xiao in your clan’s affairs!" Liu Mingshu roared, and the Qi in her body burst forth, her clothes stirring without any wind.

She was truly enraged.

With Lu Xiao’s name reported, the Su Family would send someone to contact Lu Xiao.

She couldn’t yet be certain whether Lu Xiao knew about the Goo Clan, but if he knew his parents’ death was linked to the Goo Clan, he would surely not let the chance slip by.

He would follow the lead of the Su Family to enter the Goo Clan, and then he would seek revenge on the Lu Family and the Situ Family.

By that time, everything would be over.

The Lu Family and the Situ Family would not spare Lu Xiao, and her current strength was not yet sufficient to contend with them.
