Red Rabbit, familial love...
Xiulan ran behind the red rabbit who looked at her and smiled baring his fangs and sharp teeth while giving her a look that according to her said 'come on, try, not like you are going to get anything.'
Xiulan ran behind it as it kept nimbly reach out of her hands causing Xiulan to feel extreme rage and emotions at once. She wondered if she chose the wrong thing to capture when suddenly the voice of system sounded.

Xiulan read the message in her head again and again. She wondered if she should hunt this system first. What a waste…
Xiulan looked at the red rabbit before opening her hands and throwing a spiritual whip on the red rabbit and before it had any chance the rabbit was dead without a drop of blood.
Xiulan smiled and saw another group of rabbits run towards her to fight her for their brother who lost to her weird powers.
Xiulan whipped and whipped and whipped and the pile of dead red rabbits kept increasing but after 10 red rabbits she stopped and the other rabbits who were attacking her stopped to look too. These rabbits were intellectual creatures causing them to understand that's he won't attack anymore and therefore they all ran back to their places and waited for the damn monster to run away. They grieved their lose but didn't dare to attack the whip monster.
Xiulan picked up all the rabbits and placed them in the space ring given to her by Wu Che and went to search for him to see another red rabbit in his hands.
She happily ran to him and both went to the house given to them by their grandfather's friend.
This friend of grandfather's had no one in the family except a sickly grandson while other members gave their life on battle field. The sickly child was no more than 7 years old and lost his parents two years ago.
Grandfather Chu, was the general of east army of great xia empire but left after noticing that there is no one to care about his grandson anymore. He is a nice man with good sense of humour and less crafty unlike her grandfather.
She and Wu Che reached home and greeted grandfather Chu who noticed a rabbit and was about to take it to kitchen to let the housekeeper make food but Xiulan said that she'd like to prepare food today.
Grandfather Chu said "There's no need to take such burden-"
Xiulan cut him off in the middle and said "Grandfather Chu, you took me as you granddaughter and now you are denying your granddaughter when she is showing her filial piety, is this right?"
Grandfather Chu listened to her and told her to use the kitchen and make any food. He'd eat whatever she would make for him today.
Xiulan laughed and took the rabbit from Wu Che while telling the housekeeper to leave the kitchen as she doesn't need any help who nodded her head and bowed before leaving.
Xiulan brought out her space ring before throwing 7 red rabbits in the pagoda and continued cooking while the system sent the message.

SYSTEM: VERY WELL, YOUNG LADY. ALL WE HAVE TO DO NOW IS TO WAIT FOR YOU TO INCREASE THAT PUNY BODY OF YOURS AND CHANGE THE FLAT CHEST TO BLOSSOMED ONES AND FIND A GORGEOUS MAN TO KEEP YOU.
Xiulan read the message as her lips twitched and ignored the IQ and EQ system. This guy doesn't deserve her time.
She made many dishes of the red rabbit while sending a part of each dish to the pagoda.
The dishes became available in shop and now she can eat them anytime she wanted. The biggest point in all this is, the dishes from the shop will have more spiritual qi than any elixir.
she threw in some of the spiritual water from her space and took all the dishes out.
Rabbit meat with dried tangerine peel
Spicy Rabbit head
Cold rabbit meat
While there were sautéed vegetables with soup and other side dishes.
Grandfather An felt smug as he noticed how Wu Che and grandfather Chu salivated at the dish made by his granddaughter. His granddaughter is the best, after all she took after him!
If Xiulan had heard his thoughts she would have said 'who take after you, you old man! I was extremely smart to begin with, humph!'
Grandfather An smiled at his granddaughter and started eating. As soon as he ate a bite of the beautiful looking cold rabbit meat, his mouth was set ablaze with spices and many other flavours. The meat tasted fresh and the qi in his body felt enhanced as he felt the chill reach in him before a hot warmth. The dish was even more perfect than the imperial banquet.
His granddaughter is the world's best cook for cooking this dish!
He eagerly tried everything in front of him causing others sitting in front of him start eating as well and three sudden gasps sounded with everything they tasted.
"So spicy!"
"Delicious!"
"…" Wu Che didn't spoke just nodded while eating faster as to not lose to the other two.
Xiulan too started eating as watching them fighting for food increased her appetite too. She has read this in books, the familial warmth, a warm feeling of being loved and praised. She was happy being praised and was even pleased with their reaction. She noticed how her grandfather placed dishes in her bowl.
In her previous life, there was no one to do this for her and she never asked too because she never knew these things.
