Chapter 1057 “Zhong Yu’s Scheme (5)”

“Are you really my mother?”

The young woman ticked the corner of her mouth into an upward arc over that question: “That is of course. If I’m not your mother then why would you be here?”

That made the boy sneer inside. Why am I here? Of course that’s because you people scammed me here!

Naturally the little steambun wouldn’t show any of that on his face, only staring cluelessly like he should when he’s supposed to have lost his memories.

“But according to my memories, my mother’s cooking should be very delicious, far better than the best cooks out there. This pastry though…. It doesn’t seem to match up to what I recall.”

Sisi just gawked her eyes there, Didn’t Brother Yu claim this boy has lost his memories? Why is he still remembering the past? At least he only remembers the demon queen’s cooking skill and not the person herself.

“Maybe I’m getting rusty for not cooking so long. How about I make another plate of pastry for you, is that fine Xiachen?” she asks with a forced smile this time around.

Her mission was to please this little guy, but that doesn’t mean she’s genuinely happy to be doing so.

“Okay,” grinning wide on his cuddly little face, “I want to eat Dongpu Trotter, Flower Chicken, Mapo Tofu and Stewed Chicken Eggplant.”

Sisi’s façade nearly crumbled in that split second under his barrage of naming. She’s the lady of the wolves, a noble and prestigious existence in these parts. It’s bad enough to ask someone of her standing to work in the kitchen, but couldn’t he have at least named some exquisite dish instead of those…. those rambunshish stuff?

Flower Chicken? Mapo Tofu? Is that something a person of my capacity should do?

“Xiachen, these dishes are too ordinary, can you change it to some more exquisite dishes?” Restraining her urge to smack the boy, Sisi awkwardly asks with a stiff smile.

“Uhhh…” Looking reluctant, Bai Xiachen gives a nod in accordance with the demand. “Then I want to eat dragon meat, it must be the kind that has lived for more than a thousand years.

A splurge of essence blood nearly came spewing out of Sisi’s throat just then.

Dragon meat? And the type that has lived for a thousand years at that? Where in the world am I supposed to find that?

“Is that hard?” Making a frown, the little steambun then went ahead to knock on his own head like he’s remembered something, “I just had a dream. In there, Mother would feed me dragon meat and it tasted great. Although I couldn’t see Mother’s appearance clearly, but I know it is Mother’s figure when she fed me the dish.”

Of course, his story there was nothing more than a prank. He’s a demon, and dragons are also demons. There’s no way he would eat his own kin. However, that doesn’t change the fact that he’s enjoying his own little play on toying with this deceitful witch that’s trying to impersonate his own mother. Just watching that steaming yet unable to vent face was enough to delight the cunning little troublemaker.

That’s what you get for trying to deceive and use me!

“Xiachen, there’s no more dragons in this place.” Growing stern, a strong light beams out of the fox lady’s eye after she managed to calm her inner anger. “Those dragons, I have already fed you all of them so there’s none left….”

Now it was Bai Xiachen’s turn to choke at the shamelessness of this exchange. He expected all sorts of excuses and lies from this imposter, but to say he himself has ate all the dragons? Woah, that really takes some skill to pull off!

“That…” Getting sly as well, the kid grows a smirky grin as well, “Then I want chicken soup! And I want you to eat it with me.”

“Alright,” issuing a sigh of relief, “wait just a minute, I’ll get it ready.” After saying this, Sisi made sure to leave quickly so that the boy wouldn’t make any more difficult request.

Looking at her panicking and scrambling figure that’s practically fleeing from view, Bai Xiachen just couldn’t help but release a chuckling laugh at his own achievement. Now all he has to do was to await for the chicken soup so he could carry out the second phase of his prank.
