Chapter 350: Chapter 348: Extra Meal of Snake Soup Tonight

Seeing her attitude, Qin Zhao couldn’t be bothered to say more.

The red rope and the ancient coin attached to it were no ordinary objects; the rope’s color was dark and judging by its aura, it was dyed with blood.

The copper coin was not currency from any known dynasty, but a coin from the Netherworld.

How could the living wear something from the Netherworld? At best, it would deplete their vitality, bringing misfortune and a shortened life; at worst, it would attract evil spirits.

Clearly, this joss paper coin had been deliberately fashioned into a bracelet, likely for some unique purpose. For mortals, that purpose was certainly not a good one.

If an evil spirit were indeed attracted, such spirits tended to possess some spiritual intelligence. Even if Guan Xinzhi threw the bracelet away, the spirit could still find her, so Qin Zhao had suggested she dispose of it in a temple.

Let the Buddhist powers suppress such an object, gradually eliminating the Netherworld’s aura from it.

She had warned Guan Xinzhi, but alas, the latter took no heed, so there was nothing more to be done.

Qin Zhao fell silent, picking up the unfinished fondant animals from inside the house.

She had shared the cake with everyone else and eaten some herself, but the fondant animals were so cute that Qin Zhao hadn’t had the heart to eat them at the time.

Holding the silly little animals in her palm, others didn’t understand why Chu Yan had made the small creatures, but Qin Zhao knew they represented the pets at his home.

Thinking of Chu Yan using his hands, normally so skilled with surgical tools, to make these for her, she felt inexplicably delighted inside.

"Naughty woman, I want to eat too!"

Tengshe’s voice rang out in her mind. He had been clamoring to come out while they were eating cake earlier.

Qin Zhao, concerned about suddenly revealing a son and frightening everyone, had firmly refused to let him appear.

Now, as Qin Zhao played with the fondant-made cuties, Tengshe’s mouth watered again.

Qin Zhao disagreed, conversing with him in her mind, "This could be taken home and kept, what a pity to eat it."

"It will spoil anyway, better let me eat it."

"Fondant doesn’t spoil easily."

"Don’t you want a taste to see what it’s like? Once it’s eaten, go back and have Chu Yan make a hundred more!"

Suddenly feeling that the little guy made sense, Qin Zhao accidentally twisted the fondant tail of the Little Stupid Snake and, compelling herself, took a bite.

Tengshe’s voice exploded in her mind, "Ah! You’ve eaten me! Don’t eat it!"

"I’m going to eat it."

Qin Zhao crunched it up without hesitation.

"You...!" Tengshe emerged in a fit of pique and stood on her wrist.

With a howl, he bit off the head of the fondant lamb.

He chewed for a while, crunching noisily.

Disdainfully, he declared, "The cake was better."

"Then you stop eating."

Tengshe indeed stopped, moving his little head as if he caught a delicious scent.

He hopped down from Qin Zhao’s wrist and stealthily made his way downstairs. Chu Yan was in the kitchen simmering syrup, while Qin Yu and Tan Mingri wore aprons, rolling up their sleeves—three grown men as if they were about to do something significant.

Wasn’t it just because Su Xiaotong had complained that her boyfriend’s cake was too ugly?

The fondant animals crafted by Chu Yan were exquisite and adorable, but the flowery icing Qin Yu squeezed onto the cake was indescribable and you could hardly tell that clump was supposed to be a flowery blossom.

Fortunately, the ingredients for the cake were of good quality. Though it turned out ugly, it still tasted pretty delectable.

So now, Qin Yu was seeking instruction from Chu Yan on how to make fondant and cake decorations.

Who would have thought that the big boss of Shenyu Entertainment, who had previously found even buying a cake too much trouble and would simply order an assistant to purchase whenever he wanted one, would see such a day?

Sometimes Qin Yu thought, Su Xiaotong must be his karma.

The woman who had slapped him twice upon their first meeting, he now actually wanted to marry her.

Had it been any other woman, she might not even know how she died.

"Once this shoot is finished, I’ll make another to dazzle Su Xiaotong’s eyes."

Qin Yu said through gritted teeth as he whipped the cream.

"When have I ever made a cake for someone? I made her a cake, and she wasn’t even grateful!"

"She kept saying how pretty your cake was during our walk just now. Don’t I have any face left, huh?"

Chu Yan just smiled and didn’t respond.

In front of others, he had always been a man of few words, which made him seem cold and aloof, but he simply didn’t care to bother with people and things in which he had no interest.

Before he and Qin Zhao got married, he’d never imagined that his hands, which could save lives or take them, would become skilled in the use of various kitchen utensils.

"Hey, why does the cake base I just finished making have a bite taken out of it?"

Tan Mingri was baking a cake; he also wanted to learn how to bake so he could treat his wife.

Even though everyone had eaten their fill today, the cake could be finished and put in the fridge to serve as tomorrow’s dessert.

But when he turned his back to get cream from the fridge, he discovered a bite mark on the cake base.

"There are only the three of us here, why would we bite your cake?"

Tan Mingri felt it was unlikely to be Qin Yu or Chu Yan.

He approached the camera in the room and called out to the staff, "Did you see who bit my cake? Is there a rat inside the B&B?"

The staff came over, looking a bit pale, "It seems it’s not a rat. It’s long, could it be a snake?"

"A snake? Quickly get out, or you might get bitten!"

Qin Yu got a fright and hurriedly pulled Chu Yan out of the kitchen.

"Call the owner of the B&B and ask, and in the meantime, go buy some realgar or snake repellent. We still have to stay here tonight, and it would be bad if we got bitten."

Everyone was in a panic, but Chu Yan’s Divine Sense detected a little creature hiding in a corner.

He walked over, directly picked up the Little Stupid Snake that had sneaked a bite, "Is it this thing?"

"Mr. Chu, you, you get rid of it quickly, what if it bites you!"

The others turned pale with fright when they saw Chu Yan pick up the snake so casually.

"It’s okay, I’ll go take care of it."

Chu Yan walked out with the snake in hand, and the staff followed anxiously. But Chu Yan told him not to follow, then took the Little Stupid Snake out to the yard.

"What do you plan to do with it?"

Qin Yu asked from the doorway.

"Make snake soup."

"Why are you going outside to make snake soup?"

"To skin it first."

"!!!"

The Little Stupid Snake screamed in terror, crying and begging Qin Zhao to save it.

"Wu wu wu, bad woman, I’m going to be eaten! Come save me!!"

"Why don’t you grow a bit bigger? That way we can have a few more bites."

"Are you even human? How could you say something like that!"

"Who told you to steal other people’s stuff?"

"Who told you not to feed me enough!"

"Now you’re talking back?"

Qin Zhao, standing on the balcony, could see Chu Yan scolding the Little Wretched Snake.

The Little Wretched Snake coiled up on a wood pile, curling into a small, pitiful ball, while Chu Yan’s face was stern.

"With so many strangers around, why did you come out?"

"I’m hungry..."

"You, a massive demon, wouldn’t starve to death going hungry for a few days."

"Wu wu wu."

Chu Yan disappeared into the dark yard for a while, and the staff worried about his well-being, were about to look for him outside, when he returned holding a skinned snake.
