Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 78

Chapter 78: A Deal
After tasting the lemon fish, Liushiliu looked at a plate of white balls. He didn’t know what the dish was called, but he didn’t care and put a bite-sized white ball into his mouth. As the aroma of glutinous rice and minced meat spread in his mouth, Liushiliu was once again surprised by Duan Yixin’s cooking skills.

‘Don’t tell me these foods are all medicinal food. I wonder how much I have to pay for this meal?’

Liushiliu secretly touched his flat purse and sighed inwardly. But when his eyes fell on other dishes, he immediately forgot how poor he was.

In addition to a plate of lemon fish and a plate of glutinous meat pearl balls, there was also a plate of stir-fried vegetables and a bowl of egg drop soup. The food was spread out in front of him, and Liushiliu couldn’t stop moving his chopsticks and mouth until most of the food entered his stomach.

When he finally put down his empty bowl and chopsticks, Liushiliu looked at Duan Yixin sheepishly and said, “Miss Duan, your cooking skills are very good. This is the first time in my life that I have truly tasted a medicinal meal. Thanks to you, I can taste food that not even the emperor can taste.”

Duan Yixin prepared these medicinal meals not only to thank Liushiliu for his protection this afternoon but also because she had another purpose. She wanted to know if people in this world were familiar with medicinal foods. If not, then she wonders if they would be receptive to the concept of medicanal cuisines.

However, seeing Liushiliu eating with gusto, Duan Yixin already knew the answer to her questions without the need to ask him.

Now that the goal has been achieved, Duan Yixin said, “This meal is just to thank you for your protection this afternoon.”

After saying this, she paused for a moment and then asked, “Liushiliu, will you stay in Yunshan Village in the future?”

When Liushiliu heard Duan Yixin’s question, he looked at Duan Yixin and asked, “Miss Duan, do you need me to help you with something?”

Duan Yixin likes to talk to smart people. She nodded and said, “Since you know about Master Chen, I believe you also know about the bandit attack on Yunshan Village six days ago.”

Liushiliu nodded in response, and Duan Yixin said, “Since you already know, I won’t beat around the bush. I just bought a lot of land, and I want to live here for a long time. However, the current situation makes it unsafe for me to stay here alone. Therefore, I need you to protect me.”

When Liushiliu heard what she said, he thought in surprise, ‘Huh? She wants me to protect her? Isn’t her request in line with my mission? In this case, I can just accept her request and protect her in an upright manner.’

Seeing Liushiliu fall into silence, Duan Yixin added, “Of course, I will not ask you to work for free. I will pay for your services, and you can decide the payment method.”

After saying that, Duan Yixin patiently waited for Liushiliu’s answer. After a moment of silence, Liushiliu said, “Since Miss Duan has said so, it would be too rude for me to refuse your request.”

Hearing Liushiliu’s answer, Duan Yixin’s eyes lit up and asked, “Then you agree to be my bodyguard?”

Liushiliu nodded and said, “Yes. However, if I had a new mission, then I would leave.”

Duan Yixin nodded and smiled, “That is natural. As long as you stay here, I will pay your service fee, and you can leave anytime you want.”

Seeing Liushiliu nodding in agreement, Duan Yixin asked, “Then what reward do you want?”

Liushiliu was embarrassed to ask her to pay because he was just staying because of his mission. Unfortunately, he couldn’t tell her about this. However, when his eyes fell on the empty plates on the table, he thickened his face and said, “Miss Duan just needs to give me some food.”

Hearing what he said, Duan Yixin felt that she was very lucky these days. Without luck, she would not be able to use food to hire a martial arts master.

Duan Yixin smiled at Liushiliu, nodded, and said, “All right. I will prepare three meals a day for you as a payment for your protection service.”

Liushiliu grinned and said, “Then we have a deal. Happy cooperation, Miss Duan.”

“Mhm. Happy cooperation, Liushiliu.” Duan Yixin nodded in satisfaction.

After they signed the contract drafted by Duan Yixin, both felt that they had made a big profit from this deal.

The two of them then worked together to clean up the table and the dishes, and then Liushiliu left with satisfaction. After Liushiliu left, Duan Yixin took a bath and then went back to the bedroom. That night, Duan Yixin slept soundly without any nightmares.

Early the next morning, Duan Yixin woke up before dawn. She looked out the window and saw the sky that was just beginning to change color. After doing simple stretching exercises, Duan Yixin put on her shoes and got out of bed.

When she came out of the house, she saw Liushiliu sweeping the front yard. She stood there for a while before remembering the deal between herself and Liushiliu last night. Looking at the hardworking man in front of her, Duan Yixin had a smile on her lips.

‘This young man is a good worker. He is hardworking and has initiative. I should reward him with a delicious meal later.’

When Liushiliu saw her, he smiled and greeted her, “Miss Duan, good morning.”

Duan Yixin nodded at him and said, “Good morning, Liushiliui. I will prepare breakfast in a moment.”

Liushiliu was in a good mood and said, “Miss Duan, please take your time. It’s still early for breakfast.”

After washing up, Duan Yixin went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Watching her walk into the kitchen, Liushiliu couldn’t help but become excited as he thought about the delicious food he could eat today.
