Chapter 312: Chapter 312: The New Family Head_1

During that time, she was troubled just because of this. Once, someone had sent some seafood to Old Master Situ, which made Situ Xin very uncomfortable. She glimpsed at the seafood that was sent over, then turned around and headed upstairs towards her room.

This action by Situ Xin made Old Master Situ and Old Madam Situ wonder what was wrong with their precious granddaughter. They almost followed her to give her some care and attention.

Once Situ Xin reached her room, Baibai kept complaining with its mouth that although the seafood could be seen, it could not be eaten, and Situ Xin herself sat on the bed in her room, thinking, "If only I could take some seafood out of the sea in the space." As she spoke, images of large lobsters and various fish flashed through her mind.

Just as the images of large lobsters and various fish flashed through Situ Xin’s mind, the floor of her room erupted with lively lobsters and all kinds of fish, which gave Situ Xin quite a scare. However, she soon burst into joy. Baibai pounced on the lobsters and was utterly delighted, constantly saying, "Master, we have seafood to eat."

After having a delicious seafood meal and fulfilling the wish of both Situ Xin and Baibai to have a good seafood feast, Situ Xin also had time to think about the fact that she could now take seafood out of the space straight from the sea. Before, she could only take things out of the space that were already inside. However, those things had to be previously harvested like vegetables and fruits for Situ Xin to take them directly out of the space. If they were still growing on trees or in the ground, Situ Xin could not directly take them out of the space from the outside.

After thinking of this, Situ Xin experimented several times outside the space and discovered that her mastery over the space had become more precise. This also indicated that the "Phoenix Nest" space was better in sync with her soul. Of course, this was unknown to Situ Xin.

The "Phoenix Nest" space now only recognized Situ Xin as its master. When Situ Xin reached the highest level of the "Dance of the Phoenix Nine Styles," the "Phoenix Nest" space would be truly and completely fused with Situ Xin’s soul. That meant, in the future, even if Situ Xin died, the "Phoenix Nest" would always follow her. As long as Situ Xin’s soul did not perish, the "Phoenix Nest" would forever belong to her.

After Situ Xin replaced all these ingredients with those from the space, she considered using the rice from outside to cook rice and casually replaced the Xiao Family’s kitchen rice as well. In doing so, she also saw the Xiao Family’s flour bag and switched out all the flour inside.

After completing these tasks, Situ Xin and Baibai left, both feeling thoroughly content.

That noon, Situ Xin got to eat lunch made with ingredients from her space. She tasted it and nodded in satisfaction. Although the flavor of these dishes was slightly inferior to her cooking, it was still much tastier than what she usually had at home.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad," Old Master Xiao said with satisfaction after tasting a bite of the food, "The Xiao Family has changed to a new chef. This one is good, much tastier than the previous chef." The servers, who were nearing the door when they heard Old Master Xiao’s words, couldn’t help but wipe their sweat, unsure whether to relay Old Master Xiao’s praise back to their head chef.

"It tastes better than the last one he made," said Xiao Muli, who had taken time out of his busy schedule to make it back for lunch. He rarely praised the cooking, but while he ate, his eyes rested on Situ Xin across from him, who was savoring her meal with great delight.

He thought to himself that one day, when Situ Xin would be sitting with him as his wife, his mood would be especially good. The food that reached his mouth also seemed particularly delicious. If this had been ancient times, Xiao Muli guessed he would have grandly declared, "Reward!" Yet, Xiao Muli was planning in his heart to give the chef a bonus at the end of the month. The chef was lucky to ride on Situ Xin’s coattails for this windfall.

"Ah, it certainly is more comfortable with a full stomach," Situ Xin said, leaning back on the sofa and patting her unchanged belly, speaking contentedly.

"This meal has indeed been very satisfying," noted Old Master Xiao, whose appetite led him to eat more than usual. Now, after resting a bit post-lunch, Situ Xin began to prepare tea for Old Master Xiao and Xiao Muli to aid digestion.

When the tea was nearly finished, Situ Xin said to Xiao Muli, "Brother Muli, if you have things to do, go ahead. Don’t mind me; Grandpa Xiao and I will find something to pass the time." She knew Xiao Muli had recently taken over the reins of the Xiao Family and was incredibly busy.

He had to solve problems left by his predecessor and get familiar with all the internal affairs of the Xiao Family. Even with his photographic memory, Xiao Muli was truly swamped. If not for his wish to see Situ Xin every day, he would probably have even skipped his meals.

Old Master Xiao and Xiao Muli were aware that ever since Situ Xin grew teeth and could nibble on snacks, the Situ Family, fearing their precious one might go hungry, started making small afternoon treats every day. This gradually turned into a habit for the Situ Family; whether at home or out, they would have afternoon tea, or at least carry some snacks with them.

Xiao Muli had long instructed the chefs at the Xiao Family to prepare afternoon tea, emphasizing that they bring out their best snacks.

The pastry chef at the Xiao Family had been there for over two decades, certainly capable of making many local specialty snacks. This was his forte; otherwise, he wouldn’t have lasted so long at the Xiao Family.

When the servants of the Xiao Family brought these local specialty snacks, Baibai couldn’t help but drool, urging Situ Xin impatiently, "Master, hurry up, Baibai wants to eat, give me one quickly."

Situ Xin gave Baibai a disapproving look, not impressed by his greediness, but she still handed over a piece of the pastry. Since the incident where Baibai pressed Xiao Yongxin’s handgun under its paw, it had stayed in its original size without shrinking. If it shrank now, it would certainly shock people, and even worse, if word got out about Baibai’s ability to transform, it would lead to no small amount of trouble.
