Imperial Treasure

Chapter 669 - 429: The Room_2

Since they were all young women with not too tricky personalities, it was easy for the four girls to become acquainted, even though their identities and life experiences were worlds apart.

It was already late at night, and after taking turns showering, Gong Jiu, dressed in a T-shirt and shorts, displayed her tall figure unmistakably, especially those long slender legs, which caught the eyes of Su Zimu and Pu Qinghan for a few extra moments.

Compared to her carefree and sloppy nature, the other three were much more conservative, even Pu Qinghan wore a full set of pajamas.

The night deepened, and most of the lights on the second floor of the house were out, while the bustling streets outside dimmed except for the street lamps, with many shops having closed..

The night seemed to quiet down.

Two people left the room silently and went downstairs..

The living room lights were still on, it was Hammer and others, including Bai Ruiqi, all sitting there.. It looked like they were planning to pull an all-nighter...

When they saw Sui Yi and Gong Jiu come downstairs, they were somewhat surprised, eyes fixed on the two.. Gong Jiu’s bare long legs particularly white under the chandelier’s light, seemingly even glistening, while Sui Yi, her hair hanging down, gently descended the stairs leaning on the banister..

Sui Yi glanced over, and everyone quickly shifted their gaze.

The kitchen light was turned on, and Sui Yi watched Gong Jiu rummage through cabinets looking for something to eat..

Indeed, at this critical moment of life and death, there was only one reason for Great Beauty of the Gong Family to get up in the middle of the night and drag Sui Yi along!

—She was hungry.

Sui Yi still clearly remembered the looks Bai Ruiqi and the others gave her just now.

—It seemed like Gong Jiu had eaten the most earlier, yet she was hungry..

Sui Yi held her forehead with one hand.

"The dinner tonight, I really don’t want to mention it, it’s bad enough it wasn’t tasty, but there was also so little," Gong Jiu rolled her eyes.

"There’s something wrong with your logic," Sui Yi said. "If it’s not tasty, naturally you eat less; if there’s little food, it makes sense.."

"Eh? Anyway, it’s just like that.. Damn! There’s nothing to eat," Gong Jiu rolled her eyes.

"There should be food in the fridge.."

"But that’s cold!"

"So? What about it?"

"I want to eat something hot... Ah..."

Before she could call out for Ah Yi -- next to the kitchen in the living room, Bai Ruiqi and the others saw Sui Yi stand up through the transparent glass, as well as her leisurely rolling up her sleeves..

Of course, Gong Jiu rolled up her sleeves too.

One rolled them up, the other...rolled them up too.

The expressions of Hammer and Great Shield were somewhat horrified.

Hammer: "Am I seeing things, a master is going to cook?"

Great Shield: "Obviously."

The Imperial Guards, who were masters themselves, already knew that Sui Yi was among the pinnacle of first-rate combat power in the house, and since she wasn’t one of the thirteen, they were particularly polite to her. So when Bai Ruiqi saw Sui Yi and Gong Jiu preparing to cook, he didn’t stop them, as long as they didn’t disturb anyone else, it was fine..

Especially since Sui Yi wasn’t doing anything like stir-frying.

Not knowing what they were up to early on, they just saw her and Gong Jiu moving back and forth in the kitchen, one with a leisurely and unhurried pace, the other bustling and a bit impatient..

Twenty minutes later..

Gong Jiu sat on a chair, eating egg tarts taken out of the oven; after one, she suddenly walked toward the door, opening the kitchen door..

Bai Ruiqi and the others suddenly smelled a strong scent of grape milk aroma..

Gulp.

Hammer stood up, waiting for Gong Jiu to ask if they wanted some..

Then Gong Jiu turned around and went back to sit on the chair.. eating in front of them.

Fuck!

This woman must have come up from Hell.

As for Gong Jiu’s "maliciousness," Sui Yi, who had washed her hands, just gave her a glance, and sat down at the side, wiping her hands.

For this girl, she always had an inexplicable indulgence... as if she had raised a daughter... or a pig.

"Hey, Sui Yi, I think there shouldn’t be any trouble this time, think about it, there are so many masters outside, plus you and me, our strengths are not low, and just now when we passed those rooms... Long Yi and Wang Wu... Jie Jie~ might be a bit more powerful than me," Gong Jiu said.

"Hmm, much more powerful."

Gong Jiu choked, took a sip of water with a slightly plaintive look, "At least I’m not that bad... If the killer comes, maybe I could handle it alone..."

"Egg tarts?" Sui Yi asked.

Gong Jiu kept a straight face, waiting for Sui Yi, who looked back at her naturally, "Eat another one then go back to sleep; eating more isn’t good for your stomach."

"But there are still a dozen left here." Gong Jiu said unwillingly.

"Let it be," Sui Yi replied.

Gong Jiu nodded, then quickly packed the egg tarts into a paper bag...

"What are you doing?"

"For breakfast tomorrow."

"..."

As the two left the kitchen, Bai Ruiqi and the others watched Gong Jiu pack up and go upstairs..

While going up, she also waved the paper bag at them.. gradually disappearing in the upstairs corridor...
