Chapter 1201 - A MuChapter Needed Interval - Part 3
"Hmm…the smell is fantastic!" Qiu Yue said as she saw how Lynn pressed the metal grills together like how one would make a waffle. But instead of flour mixture, the ingredients that were pressed was the complete sandwich, filled with marinated fried meat which Lynn had prepared seconds ago. The smell was permeating through the house with its savoury fragrance that somehow got the 'wolves' to come down from their rooms.
"Peppers. Milk. If you want them, you know what you got to do." Lynn said without turning her head and the two bellators were salivating like dogs, nodding their heads with a fiery passion. They instantly burst into the kitchen and started to do all the miscellaneous stuff. From putting the dirty items into the dishwasher, to preparing the dining table with fresh sets of plates. They even instinctively took the juice that Qiu Yue had made based on Lynn's direction and started to lay it out on the table like clockwork.
And while all those were happening, Jin and Qiu Yue could hear the sound of the vacuum cleaner and see it moving by itself while several cleaning cloths were flying around the house to wipe the area down.
"Your rooms as well. And Peppers don't be selfish and clear up Milk's room as well." Lynn said as she placed the cooked sandwich on a plate.
"Buttttttt" Peppers was pouting a little and Lynn merely cleared her throat to assert her dominance. That was enough to get Peppers moving and Milk's room as well.
"Thanks Lynn!" Milk was extremely pleased with Lynn's 'use' of Peppers. However, the silence between them was somewhat unsettling and Milk's expression suddenly grew the same as Peppers. She instantly opened a portal and told them to wait for her to come back for the food.
"Where is she going?" Jin did not expect Lynn to have the two rascals under her thumb so easily.
"She had promised to do some errands for me. I was just communicating with her in her own language that she had to get things done before this meal." Lynn said while she smiled back at Jin.
Without him knowing, Lynn might possibly already be the Mistress of this house and that title could never be more accurate with the simultaneous arrival of Zeru and Kraft, both fatigued from their own situations.
"Wow, Lynn. Milk was way more aggressive than usual. What's the occasio— Oh. Okay, get it." Kraft instantly opened two portals right in front of him once more when he smelled the alluring fragrance of the fried sandwich. Even Zeru understood the meaning of Milk's action and without a word, walked into the portal which Kraft had created.
The moment they disappeared, Peppers was cursing how she had already cleaned that portion of the house and used her magic to get the vacuum cleaner as well as the mop to wipe the area clean.
"Jin, you can unfreeze the static time on the fries, they need to be cooled down a little before serving. Qiu Yue, get the cereal flakes in the third cabinet and sprinkle them on the fries." Lynn said as she placed temporary time stasis on the sandwich she made and proceeded to make the other. The time stasis was why the food could always be piping hot and ready to eat for the rest of them.
But despite the power to freeze time, the entire 'family' was still rushing to do what they needed to do in order to fill their mouths with the ultimate joy. Soon enough, all the bellators were sitting patiently at their seats while Jin and Qiu Yue served the food for all of them. Lynn brought the last sandwich for herself to the table and only when Jin gave the go ahead, the rest had dug into their food with the exception of Zeru who called out to Jin personally.
"Yea, Zeru?" Jin took a few pieces of fries and stuffed them into his mouth.
"I apologise for disappearing so frequently for these few weeks. I sincerely hoped I had not caused too much trouble" Zeru bowed a little.
"Nothing we cannot handle. Besides, you are chasing an important lead, right? But you should have returned to report once in a while."
"He did return for some rest and a change of clothes though. He even made a mess of my kitchen once…" Lynn said and Zeru apologised once more.
"I was famished and needed a quick bite. But I had forgotten how Lynn's kitchen was ever changing." Zeru replied.
"So in return, I told him that he were to return the favour by coming by for a meal if Milk called him out, well assuming the situation permits." Lynn commented. "Did not expect him to really pop up for this."
"Ah… Is it because I am the only one who could call him without any consequences?"
"Something like that. System, correct me if I am wrong." Lynn said and the System acknowledged.
"Unless the Sub System User is in imminent danger and the supporting Bellators were willing to help, the System would then allow the Bellator to respond."
"You know we would come in a heartbeat for you." Peppers said with a big smile.
"It's just the way how the rules are placed. Do not put too much focus on them. Call us when you need it." Milk nodded her head in agreement with Peppers.
"But my friend. It looks to me that the situation is far from over for you." Kraft asked with his mouth full of the sandwich.
"The Banned Emperor lackeys did find the location of the last Flower City. But because of the nature of the Flower City, they were unable to find it again with me interfering." Zeru gave a short summary of what had happened, indicating that the Flower City teleports randomly to various locations in China every time a certain series of flower blooms. It just so happened that the Banned Emperor was able to narrow down the flower that was currently blooming.
However, with Zeru's interference, he managed to delay the Banned Emperor faction from coming into the last ancient Flower City, allowing them to teleport away in time. But like the Banned Emperor faction, Zeru was clueless where the city had teleported to. For the past few weeks, he had been on a wild goose chase for it and at the same time, realised that every location he went to, there were bound to have few Banned Emperor lackeys stationed in the area.
"Their organisation is bigger than I thought and it felt as if we are dealing with just one particular faction of theirs. They know that I had been chasing them and thus, been chasing after me too. I honestly hope not to bring them here so that was one of the reasons why I had been rarely seen in this area too."
"Hmm… This is indeed a problem." And that was when Jin realised there might be a connection why the Symposium might need a backup site. Could it be that there was someone in the Symposium who knew about him? Or perhaps Zeru? Not likely but since he had killed several Banned Emperor members before, it would not be surprising to use the Symposium as a point of action.
Or perhaps he was just thinking too much?
