Chapter 276: After modification - 110 "From the Same Source" (6400 words)_4
Back home, as soon as he walked in the door, Chen Yan smelled a burnt scent in the air!
Chen Yan was stunned and saw Gu Qingyi sitting on the sofa, looking at him with a nervous expression.
"Chen Yan, something just happened!!"
"..."

A few minutes later, Chen Yan looked at Gu Qingyi with a toothache expression, took a deep breath, and said with a serious face:
"So, you’re telling me, just now an evil thief broke into the house, sneaked into the kitchen, cooked with our pots, and burnt the kitchen?
You discovered it in time, tried to catch them, and the thief escaped in a panic without a trace?"
"Mm!"
Gu Qingyi nodded earnestly.
"Do you think I’m a three-year-old?" Chen Yan sighed.
But Gu Qingyi’s eyes were already sparking with fire, slowly clenching her fists, making a cracking sound.
Chen Yan instantly realized and quickly coughed, speaking sincerely and with gratitude, solemnly saying, "Then I really should thank Young Lady Gu! If it weren’t for you driving away the thief, I’m afraid he would have stolen all our kitchen food!"
Well, Chen Yan was very familiar with Gu Qingyi’s personality.
She looked aloof but was actually a proud and stubborn lady.
Her skin was very thin, if she was angered and ashamed, she would really hit someone!
Moreover, this character was quite funny, as long as you gave her an excuse, no matter how ridiculous, she could bury her head in the sand like an ostrich and pretend to ignore it.

Cleaning the kitchen wasn’t too difficult.
Chen Yan poured a bowl of water, then dipped his fingers in it, lightly flicked, and after a beam of golden light shot out, he muttered some incantations...
Soon, all the dust and stains in the kitchen were sweeping together, finally rushing into the bowl of water in his hand!
Seeing the water turning pitch black like ink, Chen Yan poured it out, refilled a bowl of water, and repeated the process.
Gu Qingyi leaned against the wall outside the kitchen, watching Chen Yan, slightly surprised, "When did you learn this ’Dust-removal Skill’?"
"Well, I just learned it recently, the old lady left a secret manual containing this spell." Chen Yan answered casually.
After casting the "Dust-removal Skill" three times, the third bowl of water absorbed only a tiny bit of stains, scarcely darkening.
Chen Yan looked satisfied at the completely spotless kitchen.
Not only was the burnt stove cleaned, but also the floor, cabinet corners, and every place were spotless. Even the container in the range hood was cleaned.
Even the lifeless frying pan on the stove seemed to have been washed countless times, as clean as hanging on the supermarket shelf—if not considering the shape.
Well, cleaned so perfectly after its demise, it could rest in peace.
Chen Yan threw the broken pan into the trash bin.
From start to finish, Gu Qingyi stood aside watching Chen Yan clean the kitchen.
The twenty-one-year-old Consort Mother had a cold face, looking aloof, but her reddened cheeks betrayed her inner anxiety.
After Chen Yan finished cleaning, as Gu Qingyi finally seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and was about to leave, Chen Yan called to her.
"Wait a sec, I have something to ask you."
"I already told you the thief messed up the kitchen!" Gu Qingyi gritted her teeth, glaring at Chen Yan.
"Um... not about the kitchen." Chen Yan smiled, "I want to ask you about cultivating Body Refining Technique."
"Hmm?"
Gu Qingyi was taken aback.
At lunchtime, he was still discussing cultivating Primordial Spirit.
Why suddenly interested in Body Refining Technique now?
"Just a curiosity. I’ve cultivated to this realm, so I want to know more about the principles of cultivation." Chen Yan smiled, "You’re a genius in combat techniques, if I don’t ask you, who else could I ask?"
Talking about cultivation, the shame and anger finally subsided from Gu Qingyi’s face, and she became serious.
She thought for a moment, lowered her head, and said, "The exclusive Combat Body Technique of the Gu Family is our family’s secret skill, I can’t teach you... but, I can explain the principles of body refining to you."
Chen Yan immediately smiled, sincerely made a gesture inviting her to sit in the dining room chair, even grabbing a bottle of drink from the kitchen, placing it in front of Gu Qingyi, before sitting down solemnly, saying, "Please teach me!"
Gu Qingyi held the bottle of drink, thought for a moment, and slowly said, "The pathway of cultivating combat techniques, the road of body refining... actually, for cultivators who refine Primordial Spirit, the starting point, the fundamental principles are the same... in a word, they originate from the same source!"
