377: Chapter 377: A flashbang added?

Perhaps because he was too exhausted, Nie Ning slept for two days and two nights straight, but when he woke up, he felt exceptionally energetic.

Nie Ning got up and went to the top of the stairs, just about to go get something to eat, when the aroma of food wafted over.

Feeling a bit strange, Nie Ning looked down the stairs.

"Could it be that Little Light hired a cook?"

Ever since Saya left, the man and the fox had basically been relying on takeout to sustain their vital signs.

Little Light had long had complaints about this.

Unfortunately, it really wasn't convenient for outsiders to enter here, so Nie Ning simply ignored Little Light's dissatisfaction.

Besides, Little Light was an exotic beast that used to eat raw meat; its life was already much better now, and as an exotic beast, it should be content.

Nie Ning returned to the first floor and couldn't help but shift his gaze toward the kitchen doorway.

The first thing he saw was Little Light sitting at the dining table, looking just like a cute little thing waiting to be fed.

And beside the stove, a busy, graceful figure caught his eye.

"Amivika?"

As Nie Ning's voice fell, the figure turned around; it was indeed Amivika, wearing an apron.

Compared to before, Amivika was now smiling, like a young woman next door, looking quite charming in this state.

"Let's eat."

Amivika said with a smile.

She gently waved her fair arm, and plates of food covered with metal lids floated onto the dining table.

Seeing this, Nie Ning couldn't help but frown slightly.

Abnormal! It was just too abnormal!

Honestly, Nie Ning never expected that Amivika would know how to cook.

Of course, given the learning ability of most wizards, cooking should be considered a very simple task.

However, this referred to ordinary meals. The food from Yishi Mansion should actually be called medicinal cuisine, and the difficulty of making it well was no different from refining high-level pills.

Smelling the aroma of the food made Nie Ning even more astonished.

Although he felt that Amivika didn't have good intentions, now was obviously not the time to talk about that.

As Nie Ning sat at the dining table, Amivika rested her chin on her hands, her smiling eyes signaling for Nie Ning to hurry up and taste it.

Seeing this, Nie Ning opened one of the metal lids with some confusion.

Immediately, a golden light burst forth from it, transforming into a beautiful exotic bird that circled in the air.

The golden exotic bird circled once, then burst into bits of starlight that sprinkled onto the plate.

Nie Ning opened his mouth wide, looking at this scene with astonishment.

After a long while, having regained his senses, Nie Ning couldn't help but ask: "Did you add a flashbang inside?"

"This is a secret of Yishi Mansion that is not passed on; many people want to eat it but can't."

Amivika rolled her eyes at Nie Ning and said unhappily.

Upon hearing this, Nie Ning looked down at the broth in the bowl with faint specks of light, the aroma radiating from it whetting his appetite.

Besides this soup, the other dishes were also various kinds of flashy things.

It looked like he was about to eat a meal, but before he could eat, he had watched a fireworks show.

Nie Ning didn't move first; he waited until Little Light started eating before he followed suit.

It had to be said that the taste was fantastic, surpassing most things he had ever eaten.

Moreover, these dishes were not only delicious, but more importantly, they could nourish the body and refresh the mind.

After the meal, Nie Ning felt warm all over, as if he had endless energy, a sense of comfort like suddenly obtaining food in the cold winter.

It was great!

Nie Ning circulated his magic power slightly and found that the circulation of his magic power was much smoother, and even the soul injury caused by refining the god-forbidden ring had improved.

After being busy for such a long time, just this one meal allowed him to shed most of his fatigue.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

Amivika blinked at Nie Ning and asked, looking slightly charming.

This made Nie Ning's mind race for a moment, not knowing how to evaluate this meal.

"Ahem." Nie Ning coughed twice: "It's alright."

Although he said that, if he could eat like this every day, then his life would really have more and more to look forward to.

Amivika smiled: "Your evaluation is too perfunctory, but I'm in a good mood, so I won't criticize you."

As she spoke, she even stroked Little Light, who was buried in eating.

Under normal circumstances, Little Light would have bitten her, and even Nie Ning rarely did this.

But under the temptation of delicious food, Little Light only cared about burying its head in eating; apparently, Amivika had been training Little Light this way quite a bit during this time.

Nie Ning glanced at Little Light with disdain and cursed inwardly: 'Good-for-nothing guy!'

Suddenly, Nie Ning remembered something and looked at Amivika: "How did you get in?"

The villa had restrictions, and they were the upgraded version that cost a lot of money.

Although it couldn't defend against overly strong attacks, the difficulty of bypassing the alert array was very high.

But he remembered that Amivika had entered the room silently, which seemed quite strange.

"I have a key."

Amivika said matter-of-factly, and then took out a white jade ring from her spatial ring.

Seeing this, Nie Ning was somewhat stunned.

If he remembered correctly, there were only five rings in total that could activate the restrictions.

One was with Little Light, another was given to Korda some time ago, he had two in his hand, and the remaining one...

"Did you take it from Saya?"

Besides this, there was no other possibility.

Because Amelia had taken Saya away directly, causing him to not have time to take back the ring.

Later, when he went to the Dark Swamp area, he had forgotten about this matter.

Amivika shrugged noncommittally.

"How is Saya doing in Yishi Mansion?"

As Nie Ning spoke, he reached out to take back the ring, but Amivika dodged him.

Amivika put the ring back into her spatial ring: "That little girl has good talent; she has now been taken as an apprentice by a sixth-tier elder. Perhaps it won't be long before she surpasses you."

Nie Ning nodded thoughtfully.

This was also a good result.

After all, the foundation of a major power could not be underestimated. If she could get the full cultivation of Yishi Mansion, creating a fourth-tier or even sixth-tier Transcendent would not be too difficult.

It's just that most of the time it wasn't necessary.

Because major powers needed stable development, not using too many resources to cultivate one person.

They were afraid of accidents; if that happened, it would be equivalent to throwing money down the drain, and the blow to these powers could be imagined.

And Saya had a special constitution; he didn't know if Yishi Mansion had the idea of taking a gamble.

But Nie Ning thought about it, and this possibility was not high; at most, it would just make Saya's life better than others.

At least in his view, Saya's potential should not yet reach the requirement for Yishi Mansion to go all-in.

Besides, she had just joined Yishi Mansion; they should still have tests for character and the like, and it would take a lot of time to observe Saya.

After all, no one likes to cultivate an ingrate, and major powers weren't stupid enough to make the foolish act of doing their best to cultivate just any genius they happened to meet.
