Chapter 12 - Can He Cook?
"Mengmeng." Ye Qian shouted and his voice got choked after seeing Yuan Meng falling unconscious in his arms.
"What are you panicking for? Ye Qian pick her up and let her rest for a while, I will bring some water."
Seeing Ye Qian started to getting panicked Jiao tried to calm him, she wanted to say but she let go of it while she went off to bring water for Yuan Meng.
Ye Qian picked Yuan Meng in a Princess Position with utter attention and care, then he carried her to the sofa in the living room and placed her carefully so as to not let her get hurt.
As he brought placed on the sofa Jiao brought a glass of water from the kitchen and went to Ye Qian.
Ye Qian brought Yuan Meng's hand in his and caught her wrist and closed his eyes.
Seeing him closing his eyes Jiao felt something was off, but did not disturb him.
As Ye Qian closed his eyes, he used his Spirit Energy from his Dantian and allowed it to pass it through Yuan Meng's wrist.
As the Spirit Energy entered Yuan Meng's body under Ye Qian's control it went into her blood and through the blood, it entered the organs and the whole body, slowly it covered her whole body from within and from outside as well.
Meanwhile, Ye Qian suddenly felt his Spiritual Energy was consumed by something in Yuan Meng's body, he tried to focus and used his Spirit Perception to the place in Yuan Meng's body where his Spirit Energy used the most.
Ye Qian was astonished to find a living thing that was present in Yuan Meng's mind head as he used his Spirit Perception. It was black in colour and had its mouth stuck to her brain and other blood vessels connected to it and was slowly sucking away her life force.
Ye Qian was shocked to see a living Gu in Yuan Meng's head as he focused his Spirit Energy and made it like a needle and tried to attack the Gu which was attached to Yuan Meng's head he tried to poke the Gu from all sides to kill it.
Seemingly noticing the Spirit Energy Needled were trying to attack it, the Gu tried to defend itself as it used Yuan Meng's body as support.
Meanwhile in the Living Room Yuan Meng's body started to twitch and large sweat beads were started to appear on her head.
Jiao who stood near felt dreadful seeing Yuan Meng's condition and tried to help her.
"STOP There!"
But at that time Ye Qian suddenly shouted to her.
She looked at her with an annoying look but seeing that his body was also shaking and there were large beads of sweat on his body. While his face also looked pale.
"Ok." Jiao staggered feeling that there was something with their condition.
Ye Qian again focused on Yuan Meng as he created small swords and needles with his Spirit Energy and fiercely attacked the Gu from all sides not leaving it any space.
Last time he attacked from a single direction and the Gu attacked Yuan Meng's body.
As the microscopic Swords and Needles attacked the Gu from all directions the gu started shrieking and wailing loudly.
"Shriek"
A loud shriek was heard and Jiao was also frightened as the shriek didn't seem to belong to a human.
While she also saw that Ye Qian and Yuan Meng were also silent so the chances of them shrieking was also low.
With the shriek followed by a loud wail, the Gu was hacked and killed.
Ye Qian felt the load on his shoulders lifted and he carefully wrapped the Swords and Needles which were transformed back to Spirit Energy around the dead Gu and tried to remove it from Yuan Meng's body.
He slowly brought the Gu to the skin of the hand of Yuan Meng and then brought his hand near Yuan Meng's hand where the Gu was and made a knife of Spirit Energy and slowly cut the skin where the Gu was brought by him.
Jiao was stunned by seeing all this as she first saw something crawl under Yuan Meng's skin, seeing that her hair also stood up from fright.
Then she saw Ye Qian extend his hand and a short sword emerged from his hand as he cut Yuan Meng's skin and removed something that was glowing with golden light.
The Golden Light was the Spirit Energy after Ye Qian removed the Spirit Energy there was Black Gu which was the size of a Soy Bean.
Jiao saw a black ugly insect-like creature and almost had the urge to throw up.
"It was better that I didn't eat anything while I was coming back." Jiao said.
She turned to Ye Qian and asked "What is that, and was it staying in Sister Meng's body all this time?"
Ye Qian's face looked better now compared to before but there was cold anger seeping from his eyes his killing intent surged and the temperature in the house dropped by about 10 degrees.
Jiao suddenly felt like it was going to snow and shuddered from cold. Her teeth were chattering from coldness.
"It's a Gu it was placed in Mengmeng's head to suck her life force." Ye Qian said with coldness seeping from his eyes.
"What, suck her life force means, it was killing her!" Jiao looked at Yuan Meng who looked a bit better now compared to before, as her skin was turning to a healthy shade of pink.
"Yes, whoever did this to Mengmeng, I, the Venerable Immortal Ye Qian will never let you die easily, since you tried to kill my beloved you must pay the price with your life." Ye Qian said.
The Sky thundered as soon as he said.
Jiao was frightened 'What's a Gu, and why did Ye Qian say himself Venerable Immortal, and why did he say that he will kill. Is he like those people who are mentioned in those Wuxia Novels?'
As she was thinking Yuan Meng's eyes pattered as she opened them with some difficulty.
"Qian! "
As soon as she woke up she called out.
Ye Qian immediately sat by her side and placed a hand on her head and gave his rather hand to her.
"Mengmeng, I am here, just stay lying and take some rest I will make the dinner, till then take some rest." Ye Qian said as he smiled at her.
Yuan Meng nodded slightly and smiled, while she thought 'Do you even know how to cook? Dummy'
Ye Qian smiled and poured some Spirit Energy into her body to make her injured and other weaknesses disappear.
Yuan Meng felt a warm current flowing from Ye Qian and to her head and the whole body. She felt energetic and felt like she was again in her 20's.
Jiao who was beside them saw everything with her eyes as Yuanmeng's some small wrinkles and some other small ageing signs in her skin were disappearing like magic.
Her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
She saw how a woman in her 30's changed and looked like a Young Girl in her early 20's.
'I also want to have this kind of treatment. I also want to look younger, uh I am 26 and have no boyfriend, sometime later kids will start calling me AUNTY.' Jiao fantasized as she looked at Yuan Meng who looked much younger than before.
'I must ask Ye Qian to do the same to me as well! Yes, I must.'
As they say, woman love their beauty so they will do anything to look young.
Especially the ones who are now showing the signs of ageing.
Well, that's not some with matter to discuss, we might even write an encyclopedia but won't understand anything.
So let's head back to the room.
Ye Qian patted Yuan Meng's head and gave a kiss on her forehead while saying "I will go cook now, rest for a while till then."
"Hmm" Yuan Meng nodded as her face turned red from blushing.
"You take care of her while I cook. You should also stay, I will cook for dinner for every one of us." Ye Qian said and went to the kitchen.
Jiao wanted to say that she couldn't stay here but saw Yuan Meng nodding at her so she didn't argue with Ye Qian.
"Sister Meng, can he really cook?" Jiao suddenly asked as she went to sit beside Yuan Meng.
"What should I say, well he didn't before, but I don't know if he knows how to cook now." Yuan Meng replied with a forced smile.
Jiao's face dropped as she heard Yuan Meng's answer.
"But don't worry there are just frozen dumplings, so he will most likely just boil them and we can eat with the sauce." Yuan Meng said while assuring her.
"What you only have frozen dumplings, what were you guys eating." Jiao suddenly asked hearing her.
"Well, it's month-end now so there was little money left with me." Yuan Meng forced a smile and said helplessly.
"You, you could have said me! If you needed some money, I would have given you I always have some left." Jiao was angered by Yuan Meng's actions and spat directly.
"It's alright now, Qian'er is back everything will happen good, now that he is here. Cant, you see?" Yuan Meng said in a beautiful smile.
"Yes, I can." Absentmindedly Jiao replied after seeing the change in Yuan Meng.
'She really looks a lot younger than me now, if we were to go out people will think I am much older than her, huh huh, I must ask Ye Qian.' Jiao felt like crying.
__________
Meanwhile, as the ladies were talking with each other Ye Qian searched all the storage boxes and containers and found nothing.
He went to the fridge and opened it only to see a 5 kg pack of frozen dumplings.
He felt the lump growing in his throat as he thought how much Yuan Meng tried to feed herself and Little Qiqi.
"The packet has been brought last week meaning they have been eating these dumplings thing from last week all the time, Mengmeng why didn't you slapped me more times for letting you suffer for all this time. You have been suffering so much but still are happy to see me again, while I am just taking things for granted."
"I won't let you guys eat such things again I am going to the market now."
Saying that to himself he closed the fridge door and went to the living room to say that he was going to buy things.
