After the porridge was cooked, Ye Jingxing lifted the lid, took out the shrimp head with chopsticks, put the prepared shrimp and diced vegetables into it, stirred gently, and mixed thoroughly.

Already able to smell the rich aroma of seafood, the little black cat moved its nose and licked its fur.

It seems that this human being does have two brushes.

“It’ll be ready to eat after a while.” Ye Jingxing took the three sets of bowls, chopsticks and spoons that he washed just now to the table in the main room, glanced at the kitten who followed, and ordered, “Go and call brother.”

Shen Qiyao: “…”

According to his seniority, that stupid Sanhua had to call him an old ancestor.

“We can start eating when he comes over.”

“Mi.” All right.

The old ancestor gently shook his fluffy tail to call the unworthy descendant to come and eat.

When Shen Qiyao came back with Xiao San, the porridge had already been cooked, and Ye Jingxing was serving bowl by bowl with a large spoon.

“What did you plant at the door? It sprouted.” Xiao San asked.

“Strawberry,” Ye Jingxing waved at him, “Come over and eat.”

“What is this?” Xiao San sniffed, and was hooked by the scent, so greedy bugs ran out.

“Seafood porridge.” Ye Jingxing replied.

Xiao San took a spoon and followed Ye Jingxing’s example; he scooped up a spoonful and stuffed it into his mouth, jumping up from the unexpected heat.

Ye Jingxing: “…”

The cat doesn’t seem very smart.

I don’t know how it got so big.

“Why is it so hot?” Xiao San asked.

Ye Jingxing asked back: “It’s just cooked, why do you think it won’t be hot?”

Xiao San feels aggrieved: “I used to eat raw food.”

Ye Jingxing stroked the cat’s head affectionately, “You can hang out with me from now on.”

Xiao San nodded fiercely, scooped up a spoonful of porridge, cooled it down, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Really fragrant.

Shen Miaomiao lightly rubbed against Ye Jingxing’s leg, and gave a soft “meow”.

Seeing this, Ye Jingxing carried him to the table, scooped a spoonful of seafood porridge into his exclusive small bowl, fearing that he would be scalded like Xiao San, and ordered: “Let it cool down before eating, otherwise it will burn your mouth. “

“Mi.” He wasn’t like that stupid Sanhua.

A small spoonful of porridge cooled quickly, and both cats were very happy to eat it.

Ye Jingxing didn’t put a lot of rice, so the porridge was not thick. With some seafood; shrimp meat and vegetables, it tasted salty and very refreshing.

Ye Jingxing found that the little black cat seemed to like eating shrimps, so he picked some from his own bowl and gave them to him.

Of course his own cub should be pampered by him.

Shen Qiyao held a shrimp in his mouth, as his small tail swayed slightly.

This human… really pleased him.

For the sake of treating him so well, he will treat him better in the future.

After finishing breakfast, Ye Jingxing called Xiao San to the kitchen and asked him to learn to wash dishes by himself.

He likes to cook, but he doesn’t like to wash dishes. He has to find someone who is in charge of washing dishes and be a shopkeeper.

Xiao San learned quickly, as a monster, his reaction was very quick, even if his hand slipped accidentally, he could still catch the bowl before it hit the ground, and did not cause any loss to Ye Jingxing.

Ye Jingxing was very satisfied, and said, “I bought some books for you, and I will teach you how to read when I have time.”

Xiao San suddenly raised his head when he heard the words, his eyes were bright: “Really?”

Ye Jingxing nodded.

“…You are practically the reincarnation of Hua Tuo!” Xiao San was very excited, if his hands were not covered with dishwashing foam, he really wanted to give Ye Jingxing a hug. 

Ye Jingxing: “?”

Ye Jingxing: “Are you talking about second parents?”

Xiao San nodded like a pounding garlic: “That’s right.”

Ye Jingxing suddenly felt that teaching this cat to read might be a bit difficult.

“Meow.” Shen Qiyao happily played with the foam on his tail.

Ye Jingxing patted the little black cat’s head, “Does Zai Zai also want to learn together?”

“Mi.” Shen Qiyao pursed his ears.

The world he has seen is much more than what Ye Jingxing bought in those books.

Ye Jingxing continued: “If you learn well, you will be rewarded with a piece of candied haws.”

“Meow.” Learn then.

I don’t know what the taste of the candied haws made by Ye Jingxing is, but will it taste better than seafood porridge?

Ye Jingxing thought of the strawberries he had planted before cooking, and thought that if they really grew, he could make some fruit-flavored candied haws. He still has many seeds of other fruits in his storage bag, so he can try them at any time .

It’s just that his spiritual power may not be enough.

Cultivators with wood-type spiritual roots can use spiritual power to ripen plants, but only if they have enough spiritual power. Ye Jingxing is really not very confident in himself.

“By the way, what’s the name of the brat?” Xiao San asked suddenly.

Following his words, Ye Jingxing’s eyes fell on the little black cat.

The kitten, which was playing with bubbles with its tail, paused.

Xiao San: “You get one for him too.”

Shen Qiyao: “…”

He wants to say no.

Xiao San said again: “How about the coal? It’s pitch black, and you can’t see it unless you look carefully at night.”

“Meow!” Unworthy descendant.

“Wait until you know the characters before you give them a name.” Ye Jingxing hurriedly said obeying the kitten’s unspoken wishes, it seems that Zai Zai attaches great importance to names.

After all, Zai Zai is not an ordinary kitten, so you can’t treat him as an ordinary kitten. It’s definitely not acceptable to call him Mimi or Xiao Hei or many more.

Ye Jingxing’s mind flashed, “Call it Xuan Xuan. The demons have a rare stone that is completely black and it is called Xuanshi. ‘Xuan’ also means ‘black’.”

Xiao San felt ashamed: “You are still educated.”

“Mi.” Shen Qiyao is quite satisfied with this name, to be honest, he doesn’t remember how he got the name he uses now, it’s too long ago, so long ago that he doesn’t bother to recall it.

The name is just a nickname, and he doesn’t particularly care about it.

Seeing the kitten’s reaction, Ye Jingxing smiled and said, “Then I’ll call it Xuan Xuan, Ye Xuan Xuan.”

“Meow.” Shen Qiyao handed his tail to Ye Jingxing’s hand and asked him to wash the bubbles on it.

After washing the dishes, Ye Jingxing couldn’t wait to go into the yard to see the little strawberries he planted.

Strawberry is his favourite fruit. Before he crossed over, he would give priority to strawberry flavour when buying milk and cakes.

After crossing over, he would often carry some strawberry seeds in his pocket, and grow some home-grown strawberry seeds when he was hungry. This was probably the only happiness brought to him from being the wood-type single spirit root.

What makes him happier is that—the strawberry sprouts in the yard are growing better and better.
