Chapter 156
Killer (3)
“Although you wear a mask, half your face, neck and arms are exposed… . ” Ye Lang said, looking at the girl . When he mentioned her hands, the girl unconsciously looked at her hands then retracted them . Usually she’d wear gloves, so no one could see them .
Since she had to wash and cook earlier, she'd taken her gloves off . She could still cook with the gloves on, but she felt the gloves were too dirty with so many bloodstains .
“From these points, I can estimate your age . It’s quite simple, a woman’s skin… . . ” Ye Lang began sharing some professional knowledge while Coldblood Five listened, shocked . She’d never known that even little details could expose one’s age .
She found them very interesting too, as she listened with fascination . To her, they were good tips to help her better distinguish characteristics between people .
As Ye Lang talked inside, the people outside grew increasingly worried . Were they still going to eat? Also, that little shit Frank, was Five already boiling soup with his bones?
Sigh, looks like we’ll have to clean up again!
However, no matter how hard they thought, they wouldn’t have guessed what was going on inside—Coldblood Five was quietly listening to Ye Lang . And this wasn’t the sort of quiet before a storm, but the real kind of quiet .
“Cough cough, I’ll end here . My belly is full, I’ll go back now,” after talking for a long time, Ye Lang stopped . He had been eating while talking .
“……” The girl was speechless again . She realised all the food she cooked had been devoured by Ye Lang .
“I’m so full! I might get indigestion today, I need to exercise a little later… . . ” Ye Lang patted his belly . Although Coldblood Five didn’t cook much, it was enough for Ye Lang .

When he finished, Ye Lang started to leave, ignoring the girl .
If the rest of the members found out, they’d probably break his jaw . How dare he treat her like this… . .
The girl immediately approached to block Ye Lang, not letting him leave . Don’t get it wrong, it wasn’t because of the food (although she did care a lot about that, she was contemplating beating him up) .
It was for……
“Wait, you aren’t done talking yet . Finish, then leave . ”
Coldblood Five wanted to continue listening . The things he said made a lot of sense, they could help her identify targets better, decreasing the probability of errors and saving more time . These could increase her efficiency in completing missions .
“I said, I’ll end here . If you still want to listen more, cook for me tomorrow . Perhaps I’ll consider finishing tomorrow,” Ye Lang added casually .
“Look how bold you are, bartering?” the girl said coldly .
“It is only an exchange . Forget it if you’re not willing . Your food might be a little better, but I’m not picky . I can still eat food from the kitchen, as long as it can fill my stomach,” Ye Lang said offhandedly . His requirements for food were low, it was fine as long as they were edible .
Although he was used to Zhen Xiaoyan’s delicious cooking, he still wasn’t picky . Obviously, if it were up to him to choose, he’d eat Zhen Xiaoyan’s . Logically one would pick the better food .
“Mine’s only a little better?” she frowned, as if a little upset . She seemed to care a lot about this matter .
She made this dish solely because she liked cooking, not to kill people . Other than murder, she didn’t know anything else . Sometimes she wondered if she was enough of a woman . Of course, she didn’t need to worry about her femininity, because she was already Coldblood Five .

However, she was still a girl . She liked cooking for herself, but she was terrified of other people seeing and guessing she was a woman . They might think she was weak, and not fear her .
All these years, she’d been protecting herself by maintaining a certain distance between herself and others . With this, she gradually became colder . At the same time, as her body count increased, her aura of violence thickened .
If you wondered why she killed people, and so many people, it’s a simple answer . You only need to know her position in the Coldblood Group .
The assassin!
Coldblood Five was an assassin . She led the Coldblood Group’s team of assassins, her daily job consisting of killing people or instructing people to kill people .
A cold-blooded assassin . It wasn’t her personality, it was her job!
With this job, how can an assassin show herself as a small girl in front of others? She found an excuse to cook, something she wanted to do for herself, by telling people she was cooking a tool for murder- poisoned food .
To be honest, she knew how to stitch too . Unfortunately, this was only something she could do in the privacy of her room, other people could never know .
No matter stitching or cooking, she was still only human . She couldn’t share this with anyone, and Ye Lang was actually the first person she could share this with . As she was watching Ye Lang eat something she cooked, she felt odd . Perhaps that was why she was acting weird .
Ye Lang was giving a compliment, but he still said her food wasn’t the best- probably above average but that was it . This made her uncomfortable, but she couldn’t show it .
“Mm!” Ye Lang grunted while nodding, not noticing anything off .
“Then what do you consider as delicious?” the girl inquired .
Ye Lang thought for a moment, then replied, “I can’t say exactly . Good food is good food, like something a fat lady cooks . ”
“Who is this fat lady?” she asked, wanting to visit this person to improve her culinary skills .
“I mean a fat lady, someone who only knows how to eat,” Ye Lang answered, though his answer was the same as no answer, “Ah, I’m not staying for long . Remember to cook a little something for me tomorrow, I’m going back!”
Ye Lang ran, and this time Coldblood Five didn’t stop him . She let him go . The monk can run but the temple won’t run with him . She’ll get him sooner or later . She wasn’t worried about Ye Lang flying out of the Coldblood Group headquarters .
Hmmph, you can’t escape me!
“Eh, Frank, you’re not dead?” When Ye Lang exited, the people outside exclaimed in surprise .
“Nope! You’re all so good at lying . There wasn’t any Coldblood Five in there, and you made me go hungry for so long . Alright, enough said, I’m going for a walk…” Ye Lang complained a little, then disappeared .
“Lord Five isn’t inside? That’s not possible, I saw her enter,” the crowd was confused . Did he mean that Lord Five had left?

Legendary Farmer (available on Kindle July 2022!)
NOTE: Legendary Farmer is now COMPLETE. The first book, Clearing, was released on Kindle Unlimited July 5, 2022 with significant edits. I will post the first chapter of Clearing, as well as three chapters of Cuckoo's Dream, another novel in the LF universe, as a stub, with a link to the first book, so if you love LF and want me to be able to keep writing consistently, please go give Clearing five stars! In the VRMMORPG, Veritas Online, things are getting a little stale. Since the game launched, only one world- wide event has occurred, and that was a year ago.. The players are still having fun, but everyone agrees it’s about time for something big to happen. Everybody tends to forget that big things grow from small things, and little things are always changing in Veritas.The human country of Quarternell is at peace for the first time in... ever. Aspen, a former war hero, feels like he’s earned a quiet life together with his animal companions. They’re tired of fighting, and other people in general. They plan to live peacefully, far away from the city. As soon as Aspen figures out this farming thing out, he’s never going to go anywhere again. Unfortunately for Aspen, his country and his goddess aren’t quite done with him yet.Rouge the Rogue is a casual gamer in Veritas Online. She’s just a kid, and her focus is supposed to be on school and hanging out with friends. Emphasis on ‘supposed to’. She’s already pretty good at the school thing, and she doesn’t actually have that many friends. What she really loves is exploring all the cool ways the developers of Veritas found to make their game unique and realistic. Then she’s offered a very special quest, and an opportunity to go beyond the average player. She’s never been that much of a rule follower anyway....Clearing is appropriate for most ages. It has minimal foul language, no sex, and some violence. It is LGBTQ+ friendly. (P.S. IMPORTANT! This book contains very mild profanity, no sex, and is meant to be FUN. Yes, the characters sometimes think Deep Thoughts, and idealism pretty much runs rampant, but, in the end, I hope you just enjoy reading it. Laugh, cry, share it with your kids, read it to your dog, whatever makes you happy. My goal is for it to be accessible to everyone from ages 12ish on up, so you could definitely consider it YA, but with lots of big words because I don't believe in talking down to my readers.) Book Two: Harrowing (Starts after the original Chapter Fifty, now Sixteen, since I condensed chapters from the same perspective together.) Zoey has started her summer internship at Veritas Corporation, and she can honestly say that being an adult is boring. Until she starts learning secrets she was never supposed to know. In game, Rouge is finally making progress on her big quest. Apparently Duke Penbrooke took too long to return to the world, so the world is coming to get him... in the form of a few assassins. Aspen is going to have to face the life he left behind, and deal with the fact that it's not as easy being 'dead' as he thought. When what he'd hoped would be a short trip back to civilization to resupply turns into a whole lot more, he'll have to fight for his life, his friends, and his kingdom. Book Three: Sowing Rouge and Aspen have reached Bright, only to find that their enemies were already expecting them. They will have to quickly unravel the mysteries of who their opponents actually are, because they're already ten steps behind. Rouge and Aspen are finally home, but that doesn't mean they can return to their peaceful days of farming. Their enemies are hot on their heels and determined to destroy everything they've managed to achieve. Join them and all their friends for the final volume of Legendary Farmer.

Descent into Mayhem
After two hundred years of isolation, the colonists of Capicua, a fertile super-earth orbiting Gliese 667C, are suddenly faced with an unknown and hostile military force. Oblivious to the impending invasion, Toni Miura joins Capicua's decrepit armed forces in a bid to escape domestic troubles, aiming for the privilege of driving the Hammerhead, a bipedal mobile suit which is the epitome of his planet's ailing warrior spirit. With the arrival of the earthborn invaders, Toni's unqualified platoon, brimming with misfits and plagued by internal differences, is suddenly thrown into the midst of battle. Abandoned by their seniors in the course of their mission, Toni and the remnants of his unit become lost in a world which, owing to the nature of its orbit, suffers periodically from planet-wide hurricane conditions. So begins a race against time, where a handful of cadets will be forced to outmaneuver a pursuing enemy in the boondocks of a turbulent planet, all the while seeking to deliver an odd but important Bavarian prisoner-of-war to their headquarters.
