Chapter 190: The Pig Ruffian

(A/N: This Chapter is dedicated to _Sire_ for the Magic Castle. (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ))

After successfully extracting the first batch of liquid essence, Siri went to get a bowl and directed the condensed into it using mana. The blob of blue liquid floated to the bowl in his hand.

[Advance Appraisal Skill Activated]

[Ice-Attribute Essence (15 ml)]

15 ml was enough for 1 plot of ordinary crops. Carrying the bowl, Siri stepped outside and quickly noticed the suspicious behavior of some people, sneakily looking at the summoning platform.

One of the players saw him and excitedly asked, "Sir Elf, will the training field be open tonight?"

"What training field?" He raised his thin brows. As far as he knows there’s no training field inside the territory.

"Ah, the one behind the summoning platform... that appeared just a few minutes ago..." The player explained. Sir Elf didn’t know?

The player’s expression didn’t have a hint of lie causing Siri to be curious. He walked towards the place mentioned and saw the large wooden gate- [Training Field].

Shocked, he tried to step inside but the same barrier prevented him from stepping further.

[The Landowner hasn’t finish customization. Once finish, the facility will be available for use.]

So there really is...

"Master hadn’t done with the final touches. I will inform you once she is." Siri took a last glance of the entrance training field before walking back to the warehouse to take some flashlights.

Illuminating the way, he headed to the greenhouse.

The Players who heard his answer were eager for the opening. No one mentioned such a facility in the global chat nor the other landowners knew what it looked like so they had a guess that it must be included in the so called ’special’ the little fox referred to before.

In the greenhouse, Siri tilted the bowl and tiny drops of blue glowing liquid dribbled on the soil. Slowly, he noticed the changes.

The surface of their skins had a thin layer of frost and the crops which were supposed to be harvest tomorrow matured with just a few drops of essence. From being without class, the information on their description changed.

[Hoarfrost Carrot- First- Class (Matured)

-Long-term consumption increases Cold resistance]

[Hoarfrost Tomato- First Class (Matured)

-Long-term consumption increases Cold...]

[Hoarfrost Cabbage...(Matured)]

Siri finished the ice essence on the bowl and decided to water the rest with the blood karmic essence.

Taking a small break, he went back to the hut to extract the next batch.

Inside the kitchen of the main residence...

"Then can I call you...Xiao Hua?" Long Haoran paused near the end of the question after realizing his behavior was a bit rude since their relationship was not even close enough. His hand stopped fiddling with the pink kitchen knife, waiting for her answer while observing her expression from corner of his eyes.

(A/N: Xiao means ’little’ so he was calling her little flower.)

Xiao Hua?

That was nice sounding actually compared to what her senior and junior brothers of the sect used to call her.

They called her Zhu Zhu due to her piggish nature and accused her of sneaking and stealing food from the outer sect’s disciples’ kitchen one time.

Those Outer Sect Disciples also joined in calling her Zhu Zhu and earned a rough beating from her fists until the Elders couldn’t recognize their faces after they purposely bump into her while she was eating because she ignored their taunts.

The food was spilled on the ground, that snap the last straw of her patience and her beast mode was unleashed.

She was not the type to argue with her mouth. She lets her fists do the job and the lessons that it made were hard to forget even those senior and junior brothers of hers who were jealous because she was underserving of Master’s favor didn’t get spared. Their faces received free ’facial and non-plastic surgery’.

And that day Zhu Zhu got another nickname which was ’Pig Ruffian’.

Her Master who had received the news nearly fainted.

Afterwards, she was punished to kneel in the Memorial Hall for three days to reflect but not before taking away her space ring which was full of food. Her Master intervened to make her punishment lighter and had senor sister sneak food every meal. To lessen the chances of getting caught, the food being sent was only in small amount.

And Li Chunhua who used to eat 3 family sized portion every meal remembered the suffering she experienced and decided to settle this score once she was released.

After three days, the Pig Ruffian was let loose and in the span of one week, there were multiple reports of Outer Sect’s kitchen being robbed, and inner sect disciples getting their faces beaten and had their clothes stolen while bathing but because the culprit didn’t leave any traces or eyewitness to serve as evidence, it was hard to pinpoint who was behind it. Those that didn’t receive enough hard lessons from her fist tattletale about her.

Although stealing food was a light crime but dishonesty and beating fellow disciples was still damaging to the Sect’s honor.

Someone assigned to search her room and space ring and after nothing was found, those Pig Ruffian bashers talked behind back still accusing her.

The cunning pig ruffian who had three burrows was set free from suspicions despite their insistence.

The robbing and beating still continued for another three days even with the other side setting up traps, vigilant night watch, or arrays but it didn’t stop the mysterious thief’s action who was trained by another professional thief.

The victims could only suffer and pulled their hairs out of helplessness and anger.

It wasn’t until they wrote a letter and raised the white flag, waved in it the air while kowtowing to the direction of the Pig Ruffian’s courtyard indicating their defeat that she stopped her ruffian behavior.

After that, no one mention Zhu Zhu or Pig Ruffian like it was some kind of taboo and all those members of the Zhu Zhu’s Bashers Club flee at the mere sight of her. Her peaceful days returned.

Her Master also felt relieved when his hairs stopped turning white and forbid her from brawling again.

Heh. Dare to call me Pig Ruffian! Then I’ll fulfill it.

(A/N: Zhu Zhu means ’Piggy-Piggy’.)

Li Chunhua’s lips stretched to a smile. "Chef Long, you can call me that. You can call me big flower, sunflower seeds, flower tea, or even flower cake. As long you don’t call me pig." Li Chunhua tied the apron before saying those words.

Long Haoran’s brows slightly rose.

Why would she think he would call her a pig? That word never came to his mind.

But seeing she didn’t display dissatisfaction towards his request, Long Haoran was at ease and went to grab the handle of the pink knife before taking out the Polypores. "Do you know at least one dish to cook?"

He wanted to see what sort of method she used to make the grant the dishes poisonous properties. That pot of poison that he splashed on the lich was so impressive. He wanted to learn from her.

Li Chunhua looked at the knife and chopping board in front of her and the ingredients beside it. She gulped hearing his question.

"Chef Long do you have life insurance?" This statement was asked in a very tiny voice almost her like a whisper.
