Chapter 97 – Spiritual Kitchen Expert
Unsealing
her dantian to enhance her strength was her top priority at the moment.
Unfortunately, it just so happens that besides Nangong Yu, there was no
other person she could think of to help her.
Heard the commotion
outside, Wet Nurse Chen rushed to greet her Young Miss, yet was shocked
upon seeing Nangong Yu sticking very closely to Hexi.
A strong and
noble aura could be felt from Nangong yu’s body, while his face was so
handsome that it could stun and dazzle a woman. It was simply too
oppressive!
“Mi-Young…Young Master, you've returned?” Wet Nurse
Chen cautiously watched Nangong Yu, still struggling to catch her breath
as she asked, “And this person is…?”
Hexi glanced at Nangong Yu
and saw his indifferent expression. With his ice cold eyes, it was like
he was an immortal, looking at ordinary people as if they were ants. His
aura was one that was so imposing that it deterred people from coming
close, and compared to his appearance when he was in front of her, it
was like there was two different people.
When Nangong Yu was like
this, it more resembled the legendary King of Hell who was known to be
cold hearted, cruel, and capable of killing without remorse, right?
“This
is…Young Master Yu, and his subordinate, Bai Hu.” Hexi's face was
taut as she introduced them, reluctantly adding, “My circumstances
nowadays is thanks to their help.”
Wet
Nurse Chen uttered a shocked exclamation, and suddenly her expression
as she looked at Nangong Yu and Bai Hu was full of gratefulness and
admiration.
Hexi had purposely spoken vaguely, letting Wet Nurse
Chan mistakenly believe that Hexi was able to escape from Gluttonous
House, and to now also be able to have such strong skills, due to
Nangong Yu. This was her Miss’s saviour!
Suddenly, her instinctual
fear of Nangong Yu was forgotten as she politely invited the two guests
to enter the house. Even Hexi was thrown to the back of her mind.
“Young
Master Yu, since you've come all this way to this small and remote
courtyard, then it would be better if you could stay and have a meal. We
don’t have much, but I can assure you that we have the most delicious
spiritual foods in the entire Jin Ling city here! Young Master Yu, you
must taste it!”
Following behind Nangong Yu, Bai Hu finally
couldn’t help but laugh, “The most delicious spiritual food, hehe, which
type of most delicious food in this Jin Ling city hasn't my master yet
tasted? Wet Nurse, isn't your boast a little too big?”
Especially
looking around at this small shabby courtyard where there is no
spiritual power fluctuations. This courtyard also didn't have a
protection spell, how could they have enough crystal stones to build an
expensive spiritual kitchen?
When Wet Nurse Chen heard this she
didn't feel the slightest bit humiliated or angry, instead, she proudly
turned her head to look at Hexi's cold face, then mysteriously said,
“Young Master Yu and Young Master Bai Hu wouldn't know, but our family's
Young Master is a spiritual kitchen expert. I even dare to say that the
delicious food she can make can’t be matched by the top chef from the
Intoxicated Immortal restaurant.”
Bai Hu's face still showed ridicule as he didn't believe her in the slightest.
However,
Nangong Yu raised his brows in interest, and with a smirk, he looked
over at Hexi, “Why didn't this King know that Xi Er also had this kind
of skill?”
Hexi’s expression didn't change as she lightly said, “Wet Nurse Chen only selfishly said nonsense, don’t believe it.”
“How
can it be nonsense!” Wet Nurse Chen said anxiously, “Mi-Young…Young
Master, anyone in this courtyard who's eaten your cooking has highly
praised it! If this old slave has lied, then let heaven's thunder strike
me!”
“If you say it like that, then I must definitely taste it.” Said Nangong Yu as he lightly smiled.
In
Hexi’s heart she really wanted to be able seal Wet Nurse Chen’s mouth,
but without the chance she could only gnash her teeth and say, “We don’t
have enough fresh ingredients in this courtyard, let's try it another
day.”
This wasn't a lie, because although the courtyard stored
many foods, most of it was low rank spiritual beast meat used to prepare
food for Xi Jia and the others. Xi Jia and the other’s bodies were way
down on the cultivation line, so their food didn't require much
spiritual energy at all, but if Nangong Yu were to consume this low rank
spiritual beast’s meat, the effect would be the opposite of the desired
result.
