Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Missing Herbs! Aunty Wang!
Back in the courtyard,
Noah sat behind a table with Xin Yan. They were resting after finishing their meals after training, Xin Yan had been accompanying him for some mock fights and sword training.
As he grew stronger, his appetite also increased tremendously. It was not particularly his appetite that increased but it was the need for energy.
So, Noah asked Xin Yan to cook him food from the meat of the beasts with high cultivation. He needed a smaller amount of food containing a higher amount of energy.
"How was the food?" Hearing Xin Yan's gentle voice, Noah felt like warm wind was caressing his ear and nodded with a satisfied look on his face.
"Your culinary skills are indeed among the top even compared to people from my previous world."
Hearing his genuine praise Xin Yan could not help but feel both extreme joy and a little disheartened. Even though she was happy that Noah had such a high assessment of her skills, she was a little sad that she could not give him the tastiest food he had ever eaten.
Thinking of this a flame of determination blazed through Xin Yan's eyes as she thought of increasing her cooking skills.
Noah was unaware of what kind of change he had caused inside Xin Yan, if he knew he would have just sighed and shook his head.
The density of the woman knew no bounds, she was thinking of ways to please him while not even realizing her own feelings.
Elysia was just looking at the scene in front of her without any emotions in her eyes.
It was not that she thought that Xin Yan would never be her competition for gaining Noah's affection.
No! She thought otherwise. To her, Xin Yan was a very strong competitor.
Even when Xin Yan was not paying attention, her actions would highlight her beauty.
For example, right now, Xin Yan was engrossed in her thoughts with one hand under her breasts and the other on her face, looking at the flower bed with a lost look in her eyes.
The lost look on her face mixed with her striking pose that she was unconsciously making, made her look both cute and alluring.
Noah naturally did not miss the chance to appreciate the beauty of the woman.
As for the reason why Elysia did not show any emotions even after seeing Xin Yan unknowingly trying to win Noah's heart, it was just that she did not care….She did not care at all!
To her the first and the most important thing was to make a place in Noah's heart, the rest comes secondary.
Elysia still did not forget about the young woman who was still not here. Due to the work , Yu Ming would occasionally go to the guild.
Elysia did not forget to make the woman suffer for trying to take her position, even though Yu Ming could not compare to her in 10 of her lifetimes, Elysia had to punish the woman for her transgression.
Well she kind of already did, the materials Noah had been asking for…
Well they did not just appear out of nowhere..
The work Yu Ming has to settle right now was the sudden disappearance of a batch of herbs from the guild's herbal garden. Yu Ming was furious when she found out someone stole herbs right under their noses.
She could not imagine what kind of person was daring enough to go against powerful forces like the Eternal Jade Guild.
She really wanted to skin the person responsible for this theft and Ma Ning, the poor guy who was suffering from overworking and oppressive superiors.
Elysia was really happy to see the enraged and restless look on the face of the woman.
One day Xin Yan saw the distressed beauty and asked what happened to her, to which she sighed and explained a little.
She did not know why she was sharing such high level information with her but seeing the shadow of her own mother in Xin Yan, Yu Ming told her everything.
When Noah found out about it, he immediately knew what had happened but surprisingly he did not say anything.
He just told Elysia a single line,
"Don't make suspicious moves on anyone."
His meaning was clear. He did not mind taking things away from people but if she made suspicious moves, there might be some eyes that would start looking for answers.
He did not want too many powerful forces swooping around him before he grew up.
Elysia naturally agreed to his request.
Noah looked at Xin for the last before he got up to continue his daily routine.
*Tap*
Just as he was about to leave, the sound of footsteps entered his ears as a middle aged woman entered the area. She looked at Xin Yan and Noah with a respectful look on her face.
"Aunty Wang, what happened?" Xin Yan came out of her thoughts seeing her coming towards them..
Elysia still could not stomach the shameless attitude of Xin Yan.
Even though the woman in front of her was the same age as her, Xin Yan called her Aunty without any hint of shame.
As for the new woman in the home. She was a worker from the guild Yu Ming sent here to work.
After what happened with the young master of the Xu Family, Yu Ming asked Ma Ning to send someone to help them with the guest and the housework.
Yu Ming did not want Xin Yan to do these minimal tasks, she regarded Xin Yan as her second mother. How could she let her mother face difficulties?
At first Xin Yan refused, she had been doing these things for a long time and became accustomed to it but when even Noah told her to stop doing these things, she reluctantly agreed but on the condition that she would be the one to cook.
Noah naturally did not have any problem with her following her hobby and he also came to like her cooking.
"Mistress, someone is here looking for the young master." Aunty Wang did not mind herself being called as such instead she preferred people calling her that.
