CHAPTER 389: CHAPTER 389: THE EASILY PLACATED LITTLE JUNIOR SISTER

The two martial brothers exchanged a look, then another look.

Ji Zhangzhuo’s baby face lit up with a brilliant smile.

"First Senior Brother, what’s up? Didn’t catch my face clearly just now and want a closer look now?"

Tuanzi tilted her head, thinking the conversation was odd, but true to his name, this senior brother was very bright. She thought maybe she was overthinking.

"You haven’t finished speaking." She urged him.

Ji Zhangzhuo looked around, then sat down on the sofa.

"Wow, so soft, truly amazing."

He waved to Tuanzi.

Tuanzi was about to walk over when suddenly, a slightly lazy voice of her first brother rang in her ear, "I forgot to mention, before your big brother left this morning, he baked some egg cookies and scallion cookies."

Gu Cheng could only make some home-cooked dishes, not desserts or baked cookies.

This was his first time baking, choosing relatively simple cookies.

His thought process was simple too, by baking himself, he could ensure the quality of the ingredients and the amount used during the baking process, especially the amount of powdered sugar.

In addition, having some snacks means his little sister could replenish her energy anytime, and having something to munch on would keep her from constantly thinking about candy.

He even considered learning to make low-sugar cakes in the future, so if several pieces of cake contained the same amount of sugar as a single piece bought outside, his sister would be happy with more cake and not notice the sugar issue.

"Cookies?"

Tuanzi’s eyes sparkled instantly, "Cookies baked by big brother himself?"

She dashed towards the kitchen, her little back showed pure delight, forgetting about the senior brother, while mumbling all the way.

"Wait a sec, if cookies were baked, Miaomiao should have smelled them ages ago, didn’t master say Miaomiao has a dog’s nose, always catching the scent of delicious food?"

[Ancient Martial System: Are you actually pleased with being described like this?]

[Miaomiao: Of course!]

[Miaomiao: Master says I have a dog’s nose, it’s a compliment about my keen sense of smell! Saying I’m like a cat praises my agility! Saying I’m like a fox compliments my cleverness!]

Tuanzi’s face was filled with delight.

The system stayed quiet.

It found that the host not only idolized her brothers but also herself quite a bit.

Why did it feel that Master’s words had a different meaning?

Saying she has a dog’s nose meant she was a foodie. Saying she’s like a cat meant she secretly observes. Saying she’s like a fox meant she’d do anything for food, being particularly cunning.

Reaching the kitchen, Tuanzi found the cookies sealed in a bag.

"No wonder Miaomiao couldn’t smell it, it’s packaged so tightly."

The system mused that maybe it was to prevent the host from smelling it early, the packaging was tight, and Gu Cheng likely opened windows and used the exhaust fan for a while. Without airing it out, a certain Little Glutton would surely be drawn by the scent.

She opened it delightfully, and as the aroma of cookies wafted over, she grabbed one, popped it into her mouth, and chewed.

"Wow, so delicious, how could big brother’s skills be this amazing?"

As she ate, she praised crazily, even though Gu Cheng wasn’t present.

"How is big brother this talented, good-looking, with a great personality, making films, cooking, now even baking cookies..."

She had a few pieces herself before hugging two bags of cookies and came out to share with the senior brothers.

"Big brother made them, super tasty!"

She handed some to Duan Xiayou and some to Ji Zhangzhuo.

"Hurry up and eat, based on your clothes and speech habits, you must be from ancient times too."

Indeed, Ji Zhangzhuo fell from a parallel world to Master’s era, and now to this era.

He took a piece of cookie, tasted it, and was very surprised.

"It’s really good, are there many delicious foods here?"

Often lost in food, Tuanzi nodded vigorously.

"Yes, just chicken alone has many ways to cook, braised chicken, spicy chicken, yellow stewed chicken, scallion chicken, roast chicken..."

As Tuanzi spoke, she couldn’t help but swallow.

She craved as she evaluated, "Of course, there were many methods in ancient times too, but the most different thing about modern times is, there are so many farmed chickens!"

Previously, she watched an agriculture channel, one episode talked about someone’s entrepreneurial journey, they opened a massive farm filled with chickens.

While watching, Tuanzi automatically replaced the chickens with plates of chicken meat.

Seeing her excitement, Ji Zhangzhuo quickly grabbed a cookie from the bag.

Seeing her still so engrossed with talking, he took another one.

Duan Xiayou couldn’t stand it.

"Miaomiao, your cookies."

Tuanzi snapped back, looking down, just in time to see someone taking another cookie.

Looking up, Ji Zhangzhuo remained calm, "I came over without eating, really hungry."

Tuanzi thought for a moment, then shared some more, impatiently grabbing apples and pears for him.

"Eat these, fill up your stomach!"

Saying so, she hugged the cookies and sat on a single sofa alone.

Snacks were all set, it’s time to continue listening to stories.

She eagerly looked at Ji Zhangzhuo.

"Even though you and Miaomiao saved the same sister, and she had you sent to the city, how did you know Miaomiao lived here?"

"Ah, this..."

Ji Zhangzhuo pulled out the Spirit Jade.

"Master said the Spirit Jades can sense each other, that’s why I ended up not far from you."

He shared his experience in detail.

Back then, Guo Xia drove him to the city, along the way, someone called, so she put a square object aside and placed something in her ear to start talking to the other person.

Ji Zhangzhuo didn’t know it was called a cell phone, nor how it worked, but he was good at observing, soon concluding this could let Guo Xia communicate with those not around them.

Quite amazing.

Upon entering the city, Guo Xia wanted to treat him to a meal, so he randomly picked a small roadside restaurant, inside was playing TV.

Of course, he didn’t know it was a TV, only knew people appeared on it, they probably weren’t locked up, otherwise, people wouldn’t watch so avidly.

"And then I saw little junior sister there, like you were participating in a show?"

[Ancient Martial System: Probably a replay of a show you did before]

Tuanzi participated in live shows, which were edited and rebroadcast by the station. Popular shows got replayed or had airing rights sold to other stations.

[Miaomiao: I know]

The system sensed something off in those words, looked closely, and saw the host squinting at Ji Zhangzhuo.

"You said earlier you hadn’t eaten, now you say you had a meal at the restaurant, which is true?"

Ji Zhangzhuo: "..."

Duan Xiayou subconsciously clapped his hands.

Tuanzi puffed her cheeks, "Now Miaomiao has to doubt if the other things you said were lies too."

Ji Zhangzhuo looked around and saw a fruit knife. He cleaned it and skillfully peeled an apple without touching the peeled flesh, offering it to Tuanzi.

"Want some?"

The sweet aroma of the fruit came across.

She hesitated for a second, took it, took a bite, found it very tasty, and happily continued munching, as for what they were talking about, she forgot!

Ji Zhangzhuo breathed a sigh of relief, seemed like the little junior sister was easy to appease.
