Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 507: The Women Celebrate

An hour later...

"Creak!"

The car came to a steady stop, and Lin Feng got out and walked up the steps, knocking on the front door.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Coming!"

Ding Wan’er’s voice came from inside the house, filling Lin Feng’s heart with a sudden surge of happiness, a feeling that was extremely comforting to him.

"Snap!"

"Quick, come inside!" Ding Wan’er hurriedly pulled Lin Feng into the house and gave him a thorough once-over from head to toe. Reassured that he was indeed unharmed, just as Qian Duoduo had said, she finally relaxed. Grabbing Lin Feng’s hand, she led him to the living room and pointed to Shen Yao sitting on the sofa.

"Guess who that is?" Ding Wan’er said with a smile. That morning, after receiving a call from Qian Duoduo, she had pondered over it and decided it would be best to inform Shen Yao. Consequently, she alerted Shen Yao that Lin Feng was safe and returning to Tianhai today. What Ding Wan’er hadn’t expected, however, was for Shen Yao to respond with such eagerness, insisting she wanted to come over right away. Ding Wan’er didn’t try to stop her. Since Shen Yao was the first woman to follow Lin Feng, it was not her place to hinder her. So, she allowed Shen Yao to come.

Moreover, the women had agreed to surprise Lin Feng, so only Ding Wan’er went to answer the door. Upon hearing Ding Wan’er’s words, Shen Yao immediately stood up, turned around, and hurried toward Lin Feng.

"Yaoyao, how did you get here?" Lin Feng, seeing Shen Yao approaching him, was also quite surprised. He hadn’t expected her to come. No wonder Ding Wan’er mentioned a surprise — it was Shen Yao. Lin Feng liked this surprise very much and, stepping forward to meet her, he gently asked.

"This morning, Sister Wan’er told me you were coming back today, so I rushed over. I’ve been worried sick about you these past few days. Don’t go to such dangerous places again, okay?" Shen Yao’s eyes filled with joy at seeing Lin Feng unharmed, but the thought of him being in such perilous places frightened her. She truly didn’t want him to risk so much; however, the important thing was that he was safe now. Shen Yao really wanted to hug Lin Feng, but there were too many people around, and Ding Wan’er was there...

"Those places aren’t much for me; if I hadn’t been helping my senior brother with a few juniors, I would have been back much earlier." Lin Feng knew that these women were all worried about him, but the Golden Triangle was no big deal for him. They really didn’t need to worry about him.

"It’s good that you’re back safe and sound," Leng Mei said from the side. Seeing Lin Feng without a scratch, she finally let go of her worries. She, too, wanted to talk more with Lin Feng, but there were too many people around, and she couldn’t bring herself to say much. Even if there were fewer people, she might not have been able to speak up, so she decided it was best to simply greet him briefly.

"Junior brother, you must be hungry, right? There’s another surprise waiting for you in a bit," Chu Meng said joyfully to her junior brother Lin Feng. Unlike the others, Chu Meng had never worried about Lin Feng’s safety because she knew his capabilities. Although the Golden Triangle was a rather infamous place, it shouldn’t have been much for her junior brother. After all, the direct disciple of their master couldn’t possibly struggle with such an ordeal. It wasn’t the time for long conversations now. Lin Feng had traveled all day and should rest and eat first.

She had witnessed it herself, how these three women were bustling about in the kitchen a while ago.

"Senior sister is right. Lin Feng is back now, and we can talk leisurely. Let’s eat first. He hasn’t had a proper meal all day," Ding Wan’er suddenly realized and promptly took Lin Feng’s hand toward the dining room.

Hearing Ding Wan’er’s words, the other women also agreed that it made perfect sense. Lin Feng had been racing back since morning and it was indeed time for him to eat. Anything could be discussed over the meal, so they all followed to the dining room and sat down.

Lin Feng was naturally seated in the place of honor by Ding Wan’er. He had thought that the meal must be Shen Yao’s doing since among them, only she could cook, but upon seeing there were ten dishes on the table, he knew the meal wasn’t the work of just one person.

"Did you all pitch in?" Lin Feng asked, noting the good balance of meat and vegetable dishes, which looked quite appealing in color and presentation.

"Yes, surprise, right? Go ahead, guess who made what." Ding Wan’er answered naturally upon hearing Lin Feng’s observation. Having been told by Senior Sister Chu Meng that Lin Feng was a culinary expert, the truth couldn’t be hidden from him, so it was best to be upfront. Yet, she was really looking forward to Lin Feng guessing who made which dish.

All the women were expectantly looking at Lin Feng, hoping he could guess who had cooked each dish.

Lin Feng, without any hesitation, picked up a spoon and tasted the yellow soybean with pig trotter soup from his bowl.

"Not bad, Yaoyao’s cooking skills have improved again," Lin Feng offered his first compliment, surprised that Shen Yao’s cooking had improved so much after just a month or two apart. The flavor of the dish bore testament to her efforts.

"Ah! How did you know that Shen Yao made it?"

"Right, how can you be so sure it’s her?"

"You knew it was Shen Yao’s cooking after just one sip?"

...

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, the women all felt amazed. How could Lin Feng know it was Shen Yao who made the soup just by tasting it?

"It’s quite simple. Shen Yao is from Yuegang and she is naturally good at making soup. Plus, I’ve tasted her cooking before, so of course, I know what her flavor is like." Lin Feng put down his spoon and spoke naturally, picking up his chopsticks to taste a piece of Xiao Qing vegetable. He instantly guessed who made it.

"This must be Senior Sister’s cooking, right? You’ve improved a lot recently. It looks like I can pretty much stop cooking in the future." Lin Feng identified the taste in one bite. It was quite good, though still not as good as Shen Yao’s, but it was very impressive nonetheless.

"Yes, I made it." Chu Meng wasn’t curious about anything. It was normal for her junior brother to be able to taste her cooking. With his amazing culinary skills, he would definitely be able to guess with one bite.

"This must be Wan’er’s, the tomato scrambled eggs. It’s obvious that this is your first attempt. Not to speak of the high heat, the eggs are also overcooked. However, for a first attempt, it’s already quite good." Lin Feng pointed at the dish of tomato scrambled eggs on the table and gave his most accurate assessment.

"This..." Ding Wan’er felt somewhat embarrassed when Lin Feng said this. She had never set foot in the kitchen before today, and she hadn’t expected Lin Feng to notice right away.

"This stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts must be Leng Mei’s work. You can tell that she’s been in the kitchen before, but not often, and due to her lack of experience, she used a bit too much oil." Lin Feng then pointed out a dish of stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts, instantly recognizing it as Leng Mei’s doing. Senior Sister liked her vegetables, and Shen Yao’s dishes were also on the lighter side, while Ding Wan’er wouldn’t have made it this way, so it had to be Leng Mei.

"It was me. I forgot that meat can also release oil..." Leng Mei, whose faults were pointed out by Lin Feng, visibly blushed, but she tried to maintain her composure as she spoke, even though she glanced at Lin Feng a couple of times more in that moment.

"This and this were cooked by Yaoyao."

"This and this were done by Senior Sister."

"This was made by Wan’er."

"This was made by Leng Mei."

Lin Feng rattled off each of the ten dishes on the table in one breath, but his heart was very warm at the moment. It had always been him cooking for them, and he never expected that today the women would cook for him. This feeling was even more like the taste of home.

At this thought, Lin Feng glanced at Ding Wan’er. It must have been her effort over this period of time, and although he wondered how she had managed to coordinate with the other women, he could see that they got along quite well and harmoniously. Ding Wan’er must have put in a lot of effort.

"Alright, let’s stop talking about the food. Come on, to celebrate Lin Feng’s return, let’s have a toast," Ding Wan’er, seeing that her cooking skills were so far behind the others, felt a bit anxious in her heart. She had already started thinking that she must practice properly when she had time. But today was for celebrating Lin Feng’s return, so she quickly shifted the topic to celebrating with him.

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

Chu Meng and the others agreed with Ding Wan’er and hastily raised their glasses of red wine that had just been poured to celebrate Lin Feng’s return. Their hearts were filled with joy, as Lin Feng’s safe return was more important than anything else, and it was indeed a cause for celebration.

"Cheers!" Lin Feng picked up his glass and clinked it with the women before downing it in one go.

"Lin Feng, tell us about your experiences in the Golden Triangle during this period." Ding Wan’er was extremely curious about what had happened. She had mobilized all the connections she could, but it was of little help. The Golden Triangle had been existing for so many years, and even national governments had attempted to suppress it, yet it remained undefeated. That place was definitely extremely dangerous. Since Lin Feng had returned safely, she really wanted to hear how he had spent his days there.

"Yeah, Lin Feng, I also want to know what happened. I asked Uncle Fu to put out a bounty, but the news that came back was that a small group of Chinese soldiers had made a mess of Ruan Tiansheng in the Golden Triangle, and they were unable to intervene. What’s that all about?"

Shen Yao also spoke up. Over the past while, she had heard that top mercenaries and assassins had failed to kill Ruan Tiansheng. They were all stirred up by this small group of soldiers. With hundreds of elite guards protecting Ruan Tiansheng, even though she had learned that the leader was called Instructor Lin, she didn’t know if it was Lin Feng.

"The days I spent in the Golden Triangle were quite interesting. Initially, I planned to just kill Ruan Tiansheng and his son and return. But after I met my senior brother, he insisted on giving me nine boys..." Lin Feng continued eating as he narrated the events of the past several days simply. However, he glossed over the battle involving Zhu Tao. Matters related to cultivators were still better kept secret from them, as these topics were beyond ordinary people’s comprehension.
