Early the next morning, Tuoba Wu yawned as he came out of the house and saw Lin Duoduo already jogging on the treadmill in the yard. "Morning, Lin Duoduo, are you running this early?" he asked in surprise.
"That’s why I’m in better shape than you." Lin Duoduo glanced at Tuoba Wu. "If you don’t want to be a weakling, I suggest you get up early and run every day too."
"Alright, alright, I’ll start running tomorrow morning. I can’t lose to you. Huh? What smells so good?" Tuoba Wu sniffed the air.
"Come and have breakfast. Little Wu, go call Bai Ning." Tianmiao beckoned them from the long dining table in the yard.
The house Tianmiao bought is quite spacious. After entering from the shop, there’s a wide courtyard. On both sides of the yard are arbors. The left side has fitness equipment, a flower bed fountain in the middle, and a long wooden dining table under the right arbor. We always eat here when the weather is nice.
Just as Tuoba Wu was about to get Mo Bai Ning, Mo Bai Ning opened the door himself, greeted everyone lightly with a "morning," and sat down at the dining table.
Tuoba Wu also bounced over and sat down next to him, looking at the sumptuous breakfast. He swallowed and asked, "Sister Tianmiao, who made this breakfast?"
"It’s Dong Xiao." Tianmiao picked up a bowl of eight-treasure porridge and leisurely took a sip. Then she picked up a shumai and tasted it, secretly admiring Dong Xiao’s culinary skills, which had improved again.
Lin Duoduo quickly took a shower, changed clothes, and came over too. She looked at the people sitting at the dining table and asked puzzledly, "Where are Dong Xiao and Kong Hou?"
"They went next door to line up." Tianmiao said slowly, eating a crystal shrimp dumpling.
"What are they buying? Lining up so early," Tuoba Wu said, his mouth full of a small soup bun, which was so hot it made him grimace, but he refused to spit it out, rolling it around in his mouth to reduce the contact and lessen the heat.
"Well, next door is a snack shop, run by a Demon Exorcist. The shop serves different delicacies depending on the magic creatures she has hunted. The shop hasn’t opened for more than half a month." Tianmiao continued eating breakfast, "So I don’t know what they’ll bring back."
"Oh, I know about this shop. It’s super famous." Tuoba Wu finally managed to eat the bun, stuck out his tongue, waved his hand to cool it down, then reached with his chopsticks for a plate of steamed dumplings, "The shop is called ’Whatever.’ The food she makes is incredibly delicious. She doesn’t take any reservations, if you want to buy, you just have to line up honestly. Her identity seems quite special too, but I’m not really sure. I only know that once, the CEO of a corporation involved in organized crime tried to use force to make her cook for him. In the end, this Boss blew up the entire floor of the CEO’s office."
"She’s that powerful?" Lin Duoduo asked in surprise, sipping her plain rice porridge.
"She’s a Demon Exorcist who just loves to cook. Not simply a chef." Tuoba Wu sneered, "After that, the CEO ran into huge trouble, with all the company’s accounts exposed, full of problems, involving organized crime, money laundering, and so on. He ended up in prison for a very long time, but before that, he was beaten up badly by this Demon Exorcist. Her temper matches her cooking skills."
"Temper matches cooking skills?" Lin Duoduo’s eyes widened, "Is there even such a saying?"
"We’ll know once Dong Xiao and Kong Hou bring back the food for us to try later." Tianmiao said, a bit excited.
