After a moment of hesitation, Xue Ling, seeing Qin Xue’s anger, finally decided to clear things up with her master in order to avoid any trouble if Qin Xue were to really fly off the handle at her.

“Master, they’ve been drinking the spiritual bamboo pith while inside the dimension. They are now in the process of adapting, and this will help optimize their physical conditions.

This will make it easier for them to learn martial arts or anything else, they’ll be more successful.” Xue Ling explained haltingly.

“Why didn’t you say so at the beginning, don’t you know I was worried?” Qin Xue was indeed infuriated with this creature, was she trying to annoy her to death?

“I was afraid to say anything seeing how angry you were.” Xue Ling thought to herself that if it hadn’t been for Qin Xue’s evident distress which almost necessitated medical attention, she wouldn’t have spoken up. But she dared not say this out loud.

“Then why are you saying it now?” Knowing the cause seemed to have calmed Qin Xue, so she asked leisurely.

“I feared that you would hit me when you found out the reason.” Xue Ling wasn’t just afraid of death, she was afraid of pain.

“Hmm, you better watch out because knowing the reason now still makes me want to hit you. No, starting from now, you will never get good food again, don’t expect to eat anything I cook.” Qin Xue thought to herself; so you like good food, do you?

Alright then, from now on you won’t get a taste of it. This for a food lover surely is the cruelest punishment.

“Please, don’t, master. From now on, I’ll consult you before doing anything, okay? Please don’t take away the good food.” Xue Ling wailed.

“Nope, you won’t learn your lesson otherwise. Do you know feeding them whatever you want could potentially harm them? Can they eat just anything?” Qin Xue thought; well, she understood what it was when she heard about the spiritual bamboo pith. It’s just the essence from bamboo, right? It’s actually beneficial rather than harmful because it can reduce inflammation and soothe the heart.

But Xue Ling acted so rashly, made her worry for no reason and had her even yell at Chu Molin. How was she going to explain why she had shouted at him?

“Master,” Xue Ling tried to plead, but no matter what she said, Qin Xue wouldn’t budge.

“How about this, master? I’ll tell you how to explain this to the male master, and in return, you cook me some good food, okay?” Xue Ling thought, if their master was worried about this, she could make it work.

“Speak. What’s your strategy? If I approve of it, then I’ll let you eat.” Qin Xue intended to just give her a scare to make her think twice before feeding anything to the kids. She didn’t mean to starve her; it’s simply to prepare her psychologically.

“Why not just say you were so worried that you lost your mind?” Xue Ling blurted out casually.

“Xue Ling, it seems that you really don’t take this seriously, do you? You dare to deceive me.” Qin Xue thought to herself; she didn’t even believe such an excuse, let alone Chu Molin.

“But besides this, what other good idea can you come up with? Or, are you going to tell him about my existence? I don’t mind, as long as you’re comfortable with it,” Xue Ling said.

“You, you’re honestly a great spiritual pet of mine, always finding ways to trick me,” Qin Xue wished she could bring Xue Ling out and give her a good beating.

“Master, you can’t hit me, I’m afraid of pain,” Xue Ling shouted.

“Stop eavesdropping on my thoughts, otherwise, don’t expect me to cook anything for you ever again,” Qin Xue threatened Xue Ling angrily.

“Okay, I won’t listen, but will you do as I said?” Xue Ling asked Qin Xue.

In the midst of the exchange between the two, Chu Molin, holding a child, stood aside watching Qin Xue, not understanding her sudden anger or what she was thinking about.
