Chapter 10 - Summon the Undead

When Xu Yao had watched Le Yao's 'Dancing of God' in the video before, he had seen him recite something. But at that time, since the video had only visual and no audio, Xu Yao hadn't heard Le Yao's recitation. Although Xu Yao knew how to read lips, the content Le Yao delivered was unfamiliar to him, so he really couldn't analyze what was being said.

In the bathroom, Le Yao put some cinnabar powder and white wine into a small jar. Of course, he had not really been frightened by a fish. He just said that because he needed to use a brand new bottle of white wine. This cinnabar solution needed to be mixed with white wine, specifically a newly opened bottle of white wine, so the symbol drawn with it would be more effective. The brush he was using had never been blessed, so he could only pay attention to the items he could prepare better.

Whether Ji Fengyu could be summoned or not tonight was all dependent on this cinnabar solution! 

Afraid of arousing suspicion, Le Yao decided to postpone the summoning for after Xu Yao was asleep. He hid the cinnabar solution carefully in a secret place that could never be found or even touched if he hadn't looked for it himself. He then washed his hands and exited the bathroom with the remaining white wine.

Xu Yao didn't hear any noise from the bathroom, so he decided to wait in the kitchen. When Le Yao came out from the bathroom, he asked, "Have you calmed down?"

Le Yao nodded, "Yeah, I'm alright now!"

Isn't it just a 650,000 yuan fish? Don't be surprised when it turns out delicious after being cooked!

Le Yao put the used wine bottle on the kitchen table, rolled up his sleeves and chopped the fish into pieces two fingers wide. This fish looked like a mackerel, but it was much longer and bigger than any mackerel he had ever seen, and was silvery white in color. After Le Yao chopped it into pieces, he added some seasoning. He was about to pour the white wine and marinate it when Xu Yao suddenly grabbed his hand.

"Is this the wine you brought out from the bathroom?" Xu Yao's face showed an expression of incredulity as he asked Le Yao.

"Well, I'll use the other bottle if you mind me using this one," That was the other unopened bottle of wine I was keeping to make cinnabar solution in the future! Oh, damn!

"Keep this bottle to use for your 'surprise' later. Use a new one for cooking." Then he put the opened wine bottle aside. "What about the cover?" 

"It's in the bathroom." You have said that you are a soldier, but you are also so hygienic! It seems that you have never been hungry on the battlefield before!

Le Yao opened the new wine bottle reluctantly and poured some of it onto the fish. He then stirred it with chopsticks and marinated it.

He wanted to make braised fish with rice. There were also some vegetables in the refrigerator, such as carrots, potatoes and cucumbers. So he was going to make a stir-fry vegetable dish as a side dish.

Xu Yao caught a strange smell coming from the kitchen and frowned, "Is this really edible? If it doesn't taste good, you better leave it to the intelligent chef. Don't waste my fish."

Le Yao said, "I'll eat it myself if it's not delicious!"

The so-called 'intelligent chef' was a robot that could independently make delicious food and managed the kitchen. If you wanted to eat anything, just picked the ingredients and it would helped you to wash, cut and add seasoning. The owner just needed to take the ingredient into the intelligent chef's stomach and told it what you want to make, to fry, stew or steam.

Now, Tarot star basically popularized this kind of robot. It used only energy, so it was environmentally friendly. But the people who really enjoy the taste of food still invited chefs to their house.

Some tastes couldn't be replicated by robots, like the ones that were made by investing human emotions. Le Yao firmly believed that the most delicious food came from the hands of those who took joy in cooking.

Le Yao asked Xu Yao where the rice was kept. After he found it and washed it, he put the rice in the pot. Then he cut some carrots and potatoes into slices and simply fried them. He also added some garlic and salt in it. He observed that there seemed to be more root vegetables and fewer leafy vegetables available here. Of course, there might be reasons for that. Anyway, he didn't find many green vegetables in Xu Yao's refrigerator. 

Half an hour later, a pot of braised fish worth 650,000 yuan and a simple  vegetable stir-fry were served on the table. Although there were only two dishes, they looked very fresh, very bright and very appetizing. Le Yao filled two bowls with rice and sat down to eat.

Xu Yao had actually smelled the fragrance of the fish boiling, but he didn't give off  an 'I really want to eat now' mood at all. He reluctantly sat down opposite Le Yao, and only after he saw Le Yao eating well, did he move his chopsticks.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Le Yao asked. He had found the fish delicious, fresh, sweet, and especially tender. It is a pleasure to slide a piece of it over the lips!

"It's quite acceptable" Xu Yao replied. 

"Then eat less." At this time, Le Yao didn't want to be polite at all, "Don't force it. I can handle the rest."

"…"

Silently, Xu Yao increased the quantity of each mouthful of food he took, and at the same time, increased his speed in chewing. He asked Le Yao, "Who did you learn cooking from?"

He had to make Le Yao eat less and talk more, so that he could eat more of this delicious fish. 

However, Le Yao was not deceived by him. He said directly, "I will tell you after eating."

Xu Yao: "…" This child!

Le Yao looked small, but he had a good appetite. He hadn't eaten much food recently, so he didn't feel embarrassed in eating a lot this time. It is not easy to make something you liked and such homely dishes would increase your appetite. He consumed at least half of the fish, a fish which was seventy or eighty centimeters long. At last, he touched his full belly and leaned back on the chair to relax.

He didn't like the dishes made by the intelligent chef, but he liked the intelligent chef which could clean up tables and wash the bowls. 

The intelligent chef that Xu Yao owned looked like a cute giant panda. It was said that there were also intelligent chefs which were designed to imitate the human figure completely. However, in terms of visual effect, the action of a human taking out food from its stomach was really weird. So later, most businesses changed the design of these chefs to that of an animal form, which looked better and lovely.

"Now, who did you learn cooking from?" Xu Yao was satisfied with his little wife's cooking skills. He leaned back from his original position and watched Le Yao from across the empty bowls, which meant that if Le Yao said something wrong, he would have to clean up the table as punishment.

"Self study," Le Yao was already thinking about how he would answer as he was eating. "Don't ever think that my stepmother would teach me something like that. The abilities that she thinks a good Omega should have, she won't let me learn. So there was no learning either art, flower arrangement, cooking, and proper child rearing. I couldn't even be happy at home." All thanks to that Jiang's white lotus act!

"Then, what can you do?" 

"I know fortune telling! I can figure out that you haven't satisfied your appetite fully this night," said Le Yao with a smile.

"… Is that right?" Xu Yao raised his eyebrows, "Did you also figure out what will I eat later then?"

Shit! Le Yao felt that this wolf eyed man was too dangerous, so he pushed his chair aside and stood up, "Oh, I suddenly remembered that I haven't visited our neighbors. I'll go out and take a look!"

Xu Yao looked at his little wife who was running out of the house. He mumbled, "Hmm…What a cute rabbit." 

He then stood up and asked the intelligent chef to clear the table. He went into his bedroom and wondered if he should clear some space in his wardrobe for Le Yao. Just now, he saw that Le Yao's suitcase was still standing in its original position. He thought that Le Yao hadn't unpacked his belongings, for otherwise, some of his clothes in his wardrobe would have been tossed outside.

However, when Xu Yao opened the wardrobe, he discovered that the mess of clothes in it had been tidied up and divided according to their seasonal use. After looking at the ordered manner of things in the wardrobe for a moment, Xu Yao contacted Uncle Ming and asked, "Uncle Ming, did you tidy my clothes in the wardrobe?"

Uncle Ming replied, "No, I haven't done that, General. It should be Young Master Xiao Le. He was in your bedroom this whole afternoon."

If he had not seen Le Yao pack up his own things before, he would not believe this. But now it seemed that Le Yao was really different from what they have learned about him. 

Now, it just depends on how long such huge changes would last.

Xu Yao pulled out a pair of gray sports pants from the wardrobe, opened the bedside drawer with his fingerprint, took a brand-new communicator out of it and went out to find Le Yao.

The outdoor temperature was not as high as it had been in the afternoon. Le Yao was just standing in the yard doing nothing. Xu Yao went over and handed the communicator to him as he said, "Your communicator can't be used here. You can use this instead."

Le Yao took a look and found that it was much more exquisite than what he used now. The one he was currently using was good enough, but this one was better. 

"Thank you." Le Yao said, "Is your contact information in it?"

"No. You need to input the barcode we got in the marriage center into it. It also will monitor your vital signs from time to time and send me a message for help if something in your body ever feels amiss," said Xu Yao.

"So, it's also acts like a security system?"

"Yes." Xu Yao whispered in Le Yao's ear, "I'll also know when you're in heat." 

Le Yao: "…"

Oh, man. Don't you think it is inappropriate for a General to talk about the 'heat' so carelessly?

Le Yao was speechless against such a sweet-mouthed General. He turned his head around just to see that his neighbor on the left was Uncle Ming, and on his right was Yan Jie. He couldn't even say a word. 

My god, what is this 'greeting the neighbors'? It's much better to go back into the house! 

The intelligent chef had cleared the table. The bowls and chopsticks had also been washed and disinfected. When Le Yao entered the house, he saw the clean and tidy dining table and kitchen. So his bad mood from before evaporated. As for the matter about sleeping, Le Yao looked at the General who had arrived home with a smattering of gray light on his upper arms and decided to go to bed. Xu Yao was now being haunted by the spirits of the dead. He would not sleep well and would also have nightmares. Le Yao didn't have to worry about what Xu Yao would do to him, at least for now.

It is a combination of time, place and people, right? That was how Le Yao thought about it. He found a set of clean pyjamas and took them to the bathroom to wear after his bath.

He deliberately washed for a long time. Just as his skin had turned wrinkly by the warm water, he came out of the bathroom.

As expected, Xu Yao had gone to sleep. In the bedroom, only the bedside lamp was switched on. Xu Yao was lying on the bed with his face turned to the side and his eyebrows twisted. Sweat was seeping out from his forehead. Le Yao crept closer, raised his hand carefully and shook it in front of Xu Yao. After he made sure that Xu Yao would not wake up for a while, he quietly snuck into the bathroom. He brought the little dinosaur magic wand with him and found the cinnabar liquid he had mixed before. 

It was the first time he had acted like a thief since he was a child. Le Yao looked at his surroundings, pulled out the brush from the little dinosaur's belly, washed it, then dipped it in the cinnabar liquid, and started drawing a rune on the bathroom floor!

"Here, on this land, I call the most Spiritual of the Gods, through the Heavens and the Earth, out of the Secluded and into the Underworld, with the spirit and worship of my heart, to please hear me out. Ji Fengyu, if you are listening to this prayer, come and gather quickly!"

'Hoo ~' a little swirling wind appeared in the bathroom. The temperature of the room gradually decreased and the bright lights dimmed.

Le Yao held his breath and watched the rune disappear. His eyes turned euphoric upon seeing this. 

A moment later, a gray shadow emerged from the floor.

The author has something to say:

Xu Yao: Be honest! Are you cheating on me? 

Le Yao: No. I am hooking all the ghosts, later they will live in our house!

Xu Yao: What?!
