Sorry but I only accept female disciples!

Chapter 5: A meal with Yuelin!

*gah* The woman's jaw dropped as she saw the dead rabbit on Zhang Yuan's hand "Hm, will be a good food for my disciple." he casually remarked.

Food? So he didn't ask because it looked cute?

As he made his way towards his wooden house, she hesitated whether to follow him or not. But if his disciple is awake, she can't be there, as she shouldn't be showing herself in front of the mortals.

That's the rule of the heavens.

At the same time, she didn't want to disturb his peaceful time so she disappeared from there.

After entering the kitchen in his home, Zhang Yuan meticulously cleaned the meat before skillfully preparing it for cooking.

He can create tons of food if he wants, and he doesn't even need to eat. But cooking and eating are the simple pleasures in life, why would he miss that?

These things might be small and simple for others, but for a being like him, this feeling is a luxury.

The trees swayed gently in the evening breeze, their leaves rustling softly. Birds chirped as they settled down for the night, their songs blending harmoniously with the sounds of crickets and other nocturnal creatures.

Ming Yuelin slowly opened her eyes, her long black eyelashes fluttering as she felt a throbbing ache in her head.

"Ugh," she groaned, furrowing her brows as she realized the discomfort coursing through her entire body.

Huh? Looking at the ceiling and the room, she was startled. What am I doing here? She remembers the last time, she went outside to search for the master.

But then something happened and now... she is here?

When she first entered the house, she thought she would meet his other disciples. But after checking around the whole house, she realized, there was no one there except her.

This made her wonder, 'Why did he pick me up as his disciple, I am not as talented than the son of that minister.'

The only thing good about her is her beauty and her knowledge of past life, but no one knows that she has memories of her past life except her.

However, at this time, the sweet aroma of meat tickled her nose and she was surprised. "Someone's cooking?"

She quickly descended from the bed and hastily made her way out of her room.

Inhaling the enticing scent, she couldn't resist the urge and followed the trial, walking near the kitchen.

As she made her way into the kitchen, she cautiously glanced inside and spotted Zhang Yuan busy at work over the stove, preparing a meal.

Startled, she hastily went inside "Master."

Hm? Zhang Yuan turned his head and smiled gently "Oh, you woke up. You were on the ground outside unconscious So, I brought you in."

Walking near him, she spoke "Master, I will cook, my Mother taught me how to cook. So..."

Zhang Yuan just smiled and shook his head "Your are in my care right now. As your master, I should be the one giving you food to nourish your body."

"The food is almost ready. Go and sit, I will bring the food to the table."

Ming Yuelin lowered her head as she thought 'From tomorrow, I will be the one cooking.'

Zhang Yuan efficiently finished preparing the meal and elegantly plated the dishes with the delicious food.

He walked towards the dining table and the two plates of food floated behind him. Ming Yuelin too followed him in awe looking at the levitating plates.

As the plates settled on the table, Ming Yuelin made her way to Zhang Yuan who was sitting on the chair.

"Master."

Zhang Yuan turned his gaze to her and Ming Yuelin raised her hand as two cloth pouches appeared in her hand.

She placed them on the table and glimpsed at Zhang Yuan "Master, this is the money my Father promised for treating my grandfather. He send them with me."

She then retrieved a wooden box from her spatial ring and placed it on the table. As she opened it, Zhang Yuan's eyes fell on the shimmering gold bars inside it.

With a warm smile on her lips, she spoke "Master, here are 50 taels of gold, please accept this as a ceremonial gift for accepting me as your disciple."

"I know practical objects doesn't please you, but this is to show my sincerity."

She then took another box from her spatial ring and placed it on the table. She opened the lid and spoke "This is a 6900-year-old Crimson spirit mushroom."

Another box appeared in her hand and she opened it placing it on the table "These are spiritual leaves. Please accept them, Master." she said cupping her hands with a bow.

Zhang Yuan glanced over at the boxes that were sitting open, releasing a strong medicinal scent of herbs that wafted through the air around him.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it and took his spoon to eat his food.

"Keep them in your spatial ring."

Ming Yuelin's eyebrows frowned "But master-"

Zhang Yuan looked at her blue eyes and she lowered her head in submission "Yes, Master."

Ming Yuelin took them back in her spatial ring and Zhang Yuan pointed his spoon at the opposite chair "Sit and eat before the food gets cold."

"Hm." Ming Yuelin nodded her head and sat opposite him on the chair.

'The food prepared by my master.' Mumbling in her mind, she scooped up a bite of the delicious dish and eagerly brought it to her mouth.

She blinked her eyes in surprise as the succulent taste of the meat danced on her taste buds. Looking at her Master in admiration, she began to eat her food.

She cast a quick glace at him and spoke "Master, the food tastes very good."

Zhang Yuan gave a nod and enjoyed the food he prepared, and time passed as they quickly finished the meal in silence.

As Zhang Yuan took his last bite, Ming Yuelin who was waiting, quickly stood up from her seat "Master, I will clean it."

Zhang Yuan gave a faint nod and Ming Yuelin took the plates to the kitchen to wash it.

Ming Yuelin diligently scrubbed each dish, making sure they were spotless, before carefully placing them back in the cupboard.

...

A short while after, Ming Yuelin entered the spacious hall and caught sight of him lounging on the plush couch. She gracefully approached him, taking a seat next to him with a modest gap separating them.

Zhang Yuan turned his gaze to her and looking at his golden eyes, Ming Yuelin asked curiously, "I have been meaning to ask you, Master, am I the only disciple you have?"

With a faint smile, Zhang Yuan nodded his head "Yeah." His past disciples are his women now, so they are no count.

Ming Yuelin was quite moved, knowing that she was actually his first disciple, which made her feel quite special.

She gently bowed her head to him. "Master, I know things suddenly happened when you came to treat my grandfather and my Father and Mother pleaded to accept me as your disciple."

"I don't want you to think, I accepted to become your disciple because my parents forced me, I genuinely want to be your disciple after seeing your prowess, Master."

"I am your first disciple and I will work hard to live up to your expectations."

Zhang Yuan gave a faint nod and asked "I will start your training from tomorrow."

Ming Yuelin was excited and cupped her hands "I will work hard Master."

Seeing her enthusiasm, Zhang Yuan chuckled softly "And, how are you enjoying your second life?"

H-HUH?! Ming Yuelin's eyes widened in absolute and her heart raced in panic looking at his shimmering golden eyes.

"M-M-Master!"
