Chapter 316: Chapter 157 - The Leader Under the Bright Moon_1

"Sister Hep, when did you come back? Oh, you have guests already! Let me, let me. You must be tired from being at school all day. You take a break." When Long Kongkong awoke from his nap, he felt incredibly relaxed and comfortable, all his fatigue vanished.

Hep Benn had already changed into the plain clothes she usually wore in the shop. She glanced at him, then went to the back kitchen.

There were only a few customers in the shop at this time, business was usually this slow when it wasn’t the weekend.

When Hep Benn came back from the back, she was already holding two plates of food, a dish of fried vegetables with oil residue, and a dish of braised pork.

"Let’s eat first. I’m going to cook noodles for you, to change the taste a bit." Hep Benn placed the two dishes in front of Long Kongkong.

Long Kongkong was taken aback, "Did you make this?"

Hep Benn smiled charmingly, "Who else?"

Long Kongkong instantly felt a warmth spread rapidly through his body, "Sister Hep, you’re the best."

Hep Benn chuckled, "Look at your silly face. You start with the dishes first, the noodles will be here soon." With that, she went back to the kitchen.

Vegetables are usually quite greedy. Plain stir-fried vegetables will never be too tasty. But with a bit of oil residue, the fragrance it brings, along with the exploding fragrance of spring onions and ginger, the taste of the vegetables would be greatly enhanced.

The braised pork was obviously stewed for some time. The pork skin was rosy and crystal-like, just like crystal jelly, fat but not greasy, lean but not dry, very flavorful. One bite into it, and the taste lingered in his mouth. Long Kongkong almost bit his own tongue from how delicious it was.

This is too tasty, isn’t it? Even better than mom’s cooking.

(Ling Xue: You little brat, you come back here! I’ll beat the life out of you!)

Soon, Hep Benn came out from the back carrying a tray, with a bowl of robust hand-rolled noodles, and a bowl of potato and minced meat stew.

She knew he liked noodles, so she prepared them in advance.

She placed the noodles and stew in front of him, watching him eating with oil dribbling down his chin, Hep Benn whispered, "You eat slower, no one is competing with you."

"I’m already jealous of this kid! Women always have a soft spot for children!" Father Hep grumbled in a sour tone.

Long Kongkong turned and grinned at him, "Would you like some?"

Hep Benn knocked his head, "Eat yours, we saved some for him."

Father Hep continued to grumble, "I’m just a guest, aren’t I? Usually, I haven’t seen you cook as soon as you finish school."

Hep Benn glared at him, "Which vine’s vinegar are you eating? Kongkong did a huge cleanup today, worked all day, shouldn’t he be rewarded?"

Right now, all Long Kongkong could do was to grin foolishly from happiness.

The potato and minced stew was poured over the robust noodles. The strong taste of the noodles paired with the savory stew was incredibly delicious!

Braised pork, stir-fried vegetables with oil residue, noodles, and even the potato stew, all were devoured by him, leaving not even a scrap of meat behind.

When he finished eating, Long Kongkong, sitting there rubbing his belly, could barely stand up. The feeling of satisfaction was beyond words.

"Sister Hep, if I could eat the food you cook every day, it would be worth dying for! This must be the taste of happiness." Long Kongkong took a deep breath.

"Tut tut tut, don’t talk about life and death, you’re fine. How did you find time to come over today?" Hep Benn asked while clearing the table.

Long Kongkong was silent for a moment, his eyes were filled with reluctance as he looked at her, "Sister Hep, there’s something I have to tell you."

"Speak." Hep Benn wiped the table clean, and put the rag aside.

Long Kongkong said, "I may have to go for closed-door training for a while, probably about three months. I won’t be able to come here. I can still come tomorrow and the day after, then I’ll have to go for the training."

Hep Benn nodded, "Go, that’s important."

Long Kongkong whispered, "What should I do if I miss you?"

Hep Benn’s body stiffened for a second, then she relaxed again, her gaze soft as she looked at him, "What you should be doing now is studying hard, cultivating well. That way, in the future, you can protect the people you want to protect!"

Long Kongkong instantly felt motivated, "Mhm, mhm, the person I want to protect the most is you. I will definitely protect you well in the future."

Hep Benn nodded, "Go help my dad prepare tomorrow’s ingredients. There shouldn’t be many customers today, anyway."

"Alright. Can I walk you home later?"

"Mm."

Night falls.

Moon high in the sky, Ming Xi, "This seed spirit crystal is fascinating. I joined a group this afternoon called the Holy City’s Heptad. I chatted with them about how to uphold justice."

Moon high in the sky, Yue Li, "How did you talk to them?"

Moon high in the sky, Ming Xi, "I just told them, if there’s somewhere that needs me to uphold justice, just call me. They all agreed."

Moon high in the sky, Yue Li, "..."

Moon high in the sky, Yue Li private messages Tao Linlin, "Are you sure this girl is really normal?"

Moon high in the sky, Tao Linlin private messages Yue Li, "She is normal, she just has an over-exploding sense of justice."

Moon high in the sky, Long Dangdang, "Ming Xi, is your life goal to uphold justice?"

Moon high in the sky, Ming Xi, "My life goal is to be a great hero, for the country and for the people."

Moon high in the sky, Long Kongkong, "You win."

Moon high in the sky, Ling Menglu, "I consulted our Temple’s demon hunters, they said, using seed spirit crystal more often will help a lot in improving spiritual power. Especially for magic professionists, spiritual power is crucial. But when using seed spirit crystal for chatting during meditation, one must be careful not to disrupt the spiritual energy."
