Miss Loser is too enchanting

"Dugu Qianye," Dugu Qianye said.

"Qianye, how did you become Grandpa Shi’s disciple? Can you tell me about it, please? Grandpa Shi said he doesn’t take female disciples, how did you touch his heart?" Fen Qingrou asked a series of questions. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Although she was older than Dugu Qianye, most of her time was spent in cultivation, so she was relatively naive and would ask whatever crossed her mind.

He doesn’t take female disciples? Then why did he take her in the first place? Dugu Qianye looked towards Hao Pengyou, who shrugged his shoulders, signaling not to ask him.

"Let’s talk about this some other time, for now, everyone should go back to rest," Fen Qingran interrupted, and everyone obediently went to sleep.

The next day, Fen Qingrou ran over to find Dugu Qianye, and after Dugu Qianye told her, she felt gloomy for a long time.

"Why won’t Grandpa Shi take me as a disciple? It must be because I’m not excellent enough! Alright, I need to work even harder!" Fen Qingrou declared.

Originally, everyone had planned to go to Mushroom City to celebrate Shi Honggui’s birthday after the auction, but since there was still time, Dugu Qianye decided to travel alone for a while before heading to the Spiritual Master Association to use the Transmission Array. She could also enjoy the scenery along the way.

It took Dugu Qianye several days to refine six Three Element Pills, one for each of her four senior martial brothers, her master, and one for Fen Qingrou. Qingrou hadn’t expected Dugu Qianye to refine an elixir for her, and was thrilled for a long time when she received it. Thinking about how Dugu Qianye was younger but stronger than her and an 8th-level Alchemist, it was no wonder Grandpa Shi took her as a disciple.

After completing the alchemy, everyone set off for Mushroom City. When Dugu Qianye first heard the name of the city, she couldn’t help but wonder who had named it and whether it was because the City Lord liked eating mushrooms.

It was just a casual thought, but it hit the mark. It was precisely because the City Lord of that place loved mushrooms, insisting on having them in every meal, that it was named Mushroom City.

To the northwest of Maolin County lies Stone County, with Mushroom City being its largest city located right at the center of Stone County. Dugu Qianye and her companions traveled west, flying over plains, mountain ranges, marshes, and more.

That evening, they landed on a mountaintop, planning to spend the night there before continuing their journey. Watching Dugu Qianye efficiently setting up the tent made Fen Qingrou feel ashamed, and she admired Qianye, wanting to learn from her.

"Sister, can we have barbecue tonight? I want to eat the meat you grill," Xiaohuo ran up to Dugu Qianye and begged coquettishly.

"Woman, you never grilled meat for me," Dandan hung mid-air, with his arms crossed over his chest, his glutinous voice expressing a sentiment that left Dugu Qianye speechless.

Realizing she indeed hadn’t cooked for them in a while, Dugu Qianye decided to make a meal for everyone that night. After setting up the tent, she took out all the cooking utensils to prepare dinner for everyone.

Having never tasted Dugu Qianye’s cooking, Hao Pengyou and the others were very curious. Fen Qingrou wanted to help but gave up decisively after seeing the ingredients Dugu Qianye brought out.

Dugu Qianye set the pot up, then added rice with shiitake mushrooms, lotus roots, and other items to simmer, asking Xiaohuo to stir occasionally to prevent the bottom from burning. Then she took out a large pot, set it up for frying. The ingredients were all pre-cut in the Refining Demon Pot and were ready for cooking.

"What are these ingredients? Are they edible?" Hao Pengyou looked at the peculiar materials, asking uncertainly.

"If you’re worried, you can choose to just watch us eat," Dugu Qianye said.

"Uh, I guess I’ll try some. After all, it’s the first time Little Sister is cooking something; I should give you some face," Hao Pengyou said after taking another look at the tomatoes and chili peppers.

After finishing the stir-fry, Dugu Qianye also tended to the grill and the skewered meat, starting to barbecue. Everyone watched her fluid, effortless movements, inhaling the delicious aroma wafting from the food, their admiration for her bubbling up from within, as saliva uncontrollably flowed from their mouths.

Half an hour later, Dugu Qianye had prepared all the dishes, and Xiaohuo had already set up the table and everything else needed. Dugu Qianye brought the prepared dishes over, and without a word from her, the others had already begun to dig in, occasionally letting out sounds of admiration.

Dugu Qianye fixed some food for Dandan and placed it before him, then called out Lan Yue and prepared a portion for it as well.

"Mom, ah, sister treats the baby so well! It’s really delicious!" Lan Yue exclaimed blissfully after taking a sip of the porridge.

"The skills are mediocre," Dandan remarked, even though its little hands kept shoveling food into its mouth.

"Junior sister’s cooking skills are indeed impressive, haha, even better than what the third one makes!" Hao Pengyou said, grateful that he hadn’t insisted on not eating earlier, or else he would’ve missed out on such delicious food.

"Sister, you’ll cook for the baby next time too, right?" Lan Yue asked, gazing at Dugu Qianye with big eyes after finishing the last bit of barbecue.

Looking into Lan Yue’s innocent and pure eyes, Dugu Qianye nodded and said, "Sure, when I have more time later, I’ll cook more for you."

"Yay, sister is so nice!" Lan Yue clapped its flippers joyfully.

Dugu Qianye smiled, but suddenly, she swept both Dandan and Lan Yue into the Refining Demon Pot and tensely stood up to look into the distance.

Fen Qingran, Hao Pengyou, and Zhong Bo all stood up as well, with only Fen Qingrou left confused, asking, "What’s going on?"

She didn’t need their explanation to know the reason, because she felt a murderous aura approaching them as well.

"Haha, I knew you were here!" A hearty voice echoed from the sky, and soon five figures descended in response.

Jin Yao and Jin Peng, along with some members of their family, stood in mid-air, looking down at the people below. They were three more than they had anticipated from the information received, but that didn’t matter, as it wouldn’t affect the final outcome. Today, they were determined to leave Dugu Qianye dead here!

"Master Hao, this is a private matter between our Jin Family and her. I hope you won’t interfere," Jin Yao said to Hao Pengyou.

Even though they were with Dugu Qianye, he still didn’t want to confront Hao Pengyou directly. The people of Chichi didn’t know Hao Pengyou was the disciple of the president of the Spiritual Master Association, so even though they knew Shi Honggui had taken a female disciple, they never thought it would be Dugu Qianye, after all, she came from a lower realm, it was impossible for her to have any connections with the Spiritual Master Association!

Dugu Qianye and Hao Pengyou flew into the air, and Hao Pengyou looked at Jin Yao, saying, "Elder Jin, you want to kill my junior sister, and you expect me to just stand by and watch, do you think that’s possible?"

"Then don’t blame us. Even though you are from the Spiritual Master Association, you can’t stop me from taking her life," Jin Peng said grimly.

"Then bring it on," Dugu Qianye said. She hadn’t truly utilized the Divine Technique she learned yet, and today presented a good opportunity to practice.

Aside from Jin Yao being at the Primary Level of Divine Emperor, the other four were at the Divine King Level, one at the Peak, two at the Advance Level, and one at the Intermediate Level. As for them, Fen Qingran was at the Divine King Peak, Hao Pengyou was also at the Advance Level of Divine King, Dugu Qianye and Zhong Bo at the Intermediate Level of Divine King, and Fen Qingrou at the Phantom Venerable Peak. Overall, their strength was much lower than their opponents’.
