16 Chapter 16: Black Mountain

"What is the reason for killing a chicken today?"

Yin Shi, who had just arrived home, looked at her reckless son busying around the kitchen stove, her expression neither sad nor joyful. She asked him calmly, not for any other reason but to hear what sort of excuse this rascal could come up with for killing a chicken this time.

"Mother, you're back."

Seeing Yin Shi, who was evidently forced to get used to his capricious behavior, Feng Qing'an felt somewhat embarrassed, but he still offered an explanation,

"I didn't necessarily want to kill it. This chicken was suffering from heatstroke and I felt sorry for it. So I put it in the water to cool off, but after a while, I found the chicken suddenly losing its breath. I had no choice but to put it out of its misery one last time."

"So that's what happened!"

Yin Shi nodded calmly.
