He quickly picked up the large bunch of mountain chickens from the ground and silently made his way to the kitchen. As he walked, the Snow Spirit Elder thought to himself, "Damn that Little Doll, always bullying me, not a shred of respect for an elder."
As he continued on, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him. He came up with a way to quickly clean and prepare the mountain chickens without having to do it himself, all while adhering to the Little One's wishes and getting to enjoy the delicious roasted meat sooner. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was a brilliant idea, and he couldn't help but praise his own cleverness.
With this new plan in mind, he quickened his pace. Upon reaching the small courtyard of the kitchen, he casually tossed the mountain chickens onto the ground.
He called out loudly for the people in the kitchen to come out and instructed them to wash and prepare the chickens immediately. He also told them to find Lo An Lord and request more hands to help.
Once he had arranged for the chickens, he swiftly left the kitchen and returned to his own room to freshen up. However, he was careful to avoid Luo Bingbing as he made his way back.
In his words, "There's no choice; when it comes to roasting meat, nothing else matters." So he resigned himself to this fate.
Meanwhile, Lo An Lord had already received word that Snow Spirit Elder had returned. When a kitchen servant came to him asking for help with Snow Spirit Elder's request, he immediately dispatched many people to assist in cleaning and preparing the mountain chickens.
After Snow Spirit Elder left the courtyard, Luo Bingbing returned to her room and instructed her maid to gather plenty of firewood for the Piaoyun Pavilion's courtyard.
When Lo An Lord and Strategist Gongsun Ming arrived at Piaoyun Pavilion's courtyard, they saw piles of firewood accumulating steadily.
Just as they were about to search for Luo Bingbing, Snow Spirit Elder suddenly appeared from around a corner. Recognizing him, they abandoned their search for Luo Bingbing and sat down at a stone table in the courtyard to chat with Snow Spirit Elder.
Before long, Little Beggar Luo Yi emerged from another corner of Piaoyun Pavilion. Upon seeing that Snow Spirit Elder was already there, he hurried over and greeted them all respectfully.
After a while, the kitchen servants brought out the cleaned and prepared mountain chickens into the courtyard.
The Snow Spirit Elder saw that the mountain chickens had already been cleaned and prepared, and they had been brought into the courtyard of Piaoyun Pavilion. However, the protagonist, Luo Bingbing, had yet to appear, causing a slight sense of urgency in their hearts as they contemplated going to find her.
Just as they were about to search for the Little One, her figure appeared before them. The Little One was slowly walking towards them, followed closely by her exceptional Nursemaid. From a distance, Luo Bingbing noticed the four of them gathered around the stone table chatting. But when she saw the servants from the Piaoyun Pavilion bringing out the mountain chickens and the Snow Spirit Elder sitting there in conversation, she realized that those mountain chickens were not cleaned and prepared solely by the Snow Spirit Elder.
Watching the lively conversation of the Snow Spirit Elder, she couldn't help but think to herself, "This Old Man isn't too foolish after all! He can catch his own deliberate verbal loopholes; it seems he has some merit!"
Luo Bingbing walked towards them slowly, and the busy servants in the courtyard stopped their work and came forward to greet her.
As soon as Lo An Lord saw his Beloved Daughter arrive, he quickly stood up to welcome her. Upon reaching Luo Bingbing, he bent slightly and lifted her up in an embrace.
While holding her, he said, "Bing Bing, you finally decided to come out! Your father is about to starve!"
With that comfortable human Sedan Chair available, she certainly wouldn't foolishly refuse it, so she allowed him to hold her!
However, after hearing her so-called Father's complaint, she couldn't help but retort, "Starving? With so many pastries in the mansion that you didn't eat? You deserve to starve!"
As soon as Luo Bingbing finished speaking, a series of loud thuds echoed around them as several servants working in the courtyard fainted. They had been struck dumb by Luo Bingbing's words.
Those who did not faint gasped upon hearing her words and thought to themselves, "This Little Princess is too bold! How dare she speak like that to the lord!"
Strategist Gongsun Ming had long known that this Little Princess was extraordinary, but even after hearing Luo Bingbing's words, he couldn't help but give her a thumbs-up in his heart.
The Snow Spirit Elder was already aware of the Little One's arrogance; however, he couldn't help but think to himself, "No wonder this Old Man chose her as my successor; her spirit is strong and audacious!"
Little Beggar Luo Yi was witnessing his master being so disrespectful towards Lo An Lord for the first time. He was not only surprised but also felt a sense of fear that Lo An Lord might punish this Little One before him.
Nevertheless, there was no need to say that their worries were surely unnecessary.
Lo An Lord listened to his Beloved Daughter's words and, instead of getting angry, pretended to look quite pitiful as he said, "My dear, it's because your grilled meat is so delicious that your father finds it hard to swallow anything else right now."
As soon as he finished speaking, his Beloved Daughter rolled her eyes and replied, "Alright, stop the nonsense. Enough chit-chat, let's hurry up and grill some meat!"
Hearing her words, everyone chimed in, "Yes! Yes! Let's quickly go grill some meat!"
Thus, they all walked toward the other side of the courtyard. When they reached the spot where the mountain chickens and dry firewood were piled up, Lo An Lord finally set down the Little One he had been holding.
Since there was a source of fire in the royal residence, Luo Bingbing didn't need to use her Fire Ability to ignite the dry firewood for grilling; she simply had the servants use the fire from the residence to light it.
Luo Bingbing then took some sticks that were over a meter long and skewered the mountain chickens onto them before placing them on the grill over the fire.
As the rich aroma of grilled meat wafted through the courtyard of Piaoyun Pavilion, Luo Bingbing drizzled some wild fruit juice over the mountain chickens. After a while, the grilled meat emitted an incredibly rich meaty fragrance.
The entire courtyard of Piaoyun Pavilion was filled with this enticing aroma, making everyone feel hungry and excited.
Since everyone else's grilling wasn't as good as hers, they all stood by watching closely how she did it, secretly memorizing her grilling techniques.
Before long, the mountain chickens on the grill were done. As soon as Snow Spirit Elder and the others saw that the meat was ready, without needing Luo Bingbing to say anything, they immediately took the grilled meat off to eat.
Once they had taken down all the cooked mountain chickens, Luo Bingbing instructed them to put the uncooked ones onto the grill.
She then went aside to grab a few grilled mountain chickens for her Snow Spirit Fox resting on her shoulder and for her Nursemaid. Upon seeing the grilled meat, Snow Spirit Elder completely ignored Luo Bingbing's apprentice and focused intently on devouring the grilled meat in front of him. He finished one after another at such speed that even Luo Bingbing was somewhat astonished, as if he hadn't eaten in years.
After they finished all the grilled meat, they finally felt satisfied.
Once they were done eating, Luo Bingbing instructed Snow Spirit Elder to elevate Lo An Lord and his companions' martial arts by one level within three days using any means necessary. She would come back in three days to check on their progress.
As Luo Bingbing was leaving, she instructed Little Beggar Luo Yi to accompany her back to the study, as she had something to ask him to do. Upon hearing her words, Little Beggar Luo Yi hurriedly followed her toward the study.
Once they arrived in the study, Luo Bingbing took out a Martial Arts Manual from the drawer of her desk. She had specifically brought it back from the Underworld's camp for Luo Yi. Knowing that Luo Yi was originally a beggar and could not read, she had found several easy-to-understand manuals that were entirely illustrated for him to practice.
After handing the manual to him, Luo Bingbing said seriously, "Luo Yi, you must keep this manual safe and not let anyone know about it, not even Old Man or the king. Once you finish practicing it, let me know. If you have any questions, ask Old Man, but don't ask directly—be subtle about it, understood?" After listening to her instructions, Little Beggar Luo Yi quickly replied, "Yes, my lady. I will definitely keep it hidden and work hard on my training."
Luo Bingbing nodded slightly at his response and waved her hand to signal him to leave and start his practice.
Due to Snow Spirit Elder and Lo An Lord finding everything else unappetizing after tasting the roasted meat prepared by Luo Bingbing, Snow Spirit Elder went out every day to hunt thirty mountain chickens for her to roast.
Time passed swiftly like flowing clouds, and soon it was the third day.
In the courtyard of Piaoyun Pavilion, Luo Bingbing stood in the center while Lo An Lord, Strategist Gongsun Ming, and Little Beggar Luo Yi stood around her on three sides. Snow Spirit Elder stood on the outer edge.
Luo Bingbing casually glanced at the people around her before slowly saying, "As always, no holding back—show me your true skills and let me see how much you've improved over these three days."
As usual, as soon as she finished speaking, Luo Bingbing launched an attack on them. However, this time she chose a different target for her initial strike.
She swiftly turned and attacked Lo An Lord who stood behind her. But due to their previous experiences over the past few days, all three were on guard. While listening to Little One's words, they remained vigilant against her sudden assault.
Thus, when Lo An Lord saw his beloved daughter attacking him, he quickly dodged aside, causing Luo Bingbing's attack to miss its mark.
Seeing her first attack fail did not upset Luo Bingbing; instead, she felt quite pleased because she realized that this was not a sign of her regression but rather an indication that all three of them had improved.
At the same time that Luo Bingbing attacked Lo An Lord, Gongsun Ming and Luo Yi on either side also launched their attacks against her.
Feeling danger approaching after missing her attack, Luo Bingbing quickly leaped out of their encirclement and increased the speed of her own attacks while fiercely countering all three of them.
The three of them were attacked by the Little One, and they quickly shifted from offense to defense. As the four exchanged blows, they had already gone through hundreds of moves.
In the end, Luo Bingbing managed to take them down one by one, kicking them out of the match. However, their progress over the past three days was significant, so it took Luo Bingbing much more effort to defeat them than before.
After knocking all three to the ground, Luo Bingbing pretended to brush off some nonexistent dust from her clothes.
While she was doing this, the Snow Spirit Elder, who was watching from the side, clapped his hands and said, "Hahaha, the little one is truly impressive!" After saying this, he couldn't help but add shamelessly in his heart, "As expected of my disciple."
Although he appeared very happy on the surface, he was actually quite troubled inside. He still couldn't discern what martial arts technique that Little One was using. It was straightforward and targeted vital points with precise control of power; he truly had no idea where this skill originated from.
Upon hearing the Snow Spirit Elder's words, Lo An Lord and the other two chimed in, "Yes, it's quite impressive!" However, Luo Bingbing did not pay their comments any mind. She looked at Lo An Lord and said, "Father, you have indeed made progress, but it's still not enough. You need to strengthen your training."
After hearing his beloved daughter's words, Lo An Lord nodded slightly and said, "You're right; we are still too weak compared to you."
Once he finished speaking, he turned to the Snow Spirit Elder behind him and said, "Senior, I would appreciate your guidance during this time."
Upon hearing Lo An Lord's request, the Snow Spirit Elder initially wanted to maintain his seniority. However, when he caught sight of Luo Bingbing's sharp gaze, he immediately retracted his arrogance and replied eagerly, "Not a problem at all; I would be more than happy to help."
"Alright then, Old Man," Luo Bingbing said lightly. "Teach them seriously; don't hold anything back. Share everything you can with them."
