Honestly, if she hadnât known this was Daozang Mountain where her familiar senior brother Chen Changâan resided, Mao Ruxue would have been suspicious.
She would have doubted whether the mountain she arrived at was the Immortal Realm or not.
After all, only a place like the Immortal Realm would have the same spring-like climate throughout the year, right?
"Sit."
Chen Changâan arrived at the stone table and signaled to Mao Ruxue to sit down.
"Uh-huh, okay, senior brother." Mao Ruxue nodded and placed the meals in her hands on the stone table.
Then, the two of them started having breakfast as usual.
However, Mao Ruxue pointed at a translucent dish made from Immortal Whale meat and asked Chen Changâan just as they started eating,
"Senior brother, whatâs this? I donât think Iâve seen it before?"
"Moreover, why does it look so appetizing?"
"Could it be that the elders from the foot of the mountain sent this up again?"
"This one?" Hearing Mao Ruxueâs words, Chen Changâan thought about it for a moment.
But it was only for a moment, the next he said,
"I accidentally hunted this when I went down the mountain. I didnât know what it was, but it was delicious when barbecued, so I kept it."
"Just that I returned quite late last night, so I left it at your place."
"I didnât expect that you would return from your journey in the mortal realm tonight, and you turned it into a dish."
"I see, thank you for explaining, senior brother." Mao Ruxue nodded, only half-understanding.
However, although she nodded, her mind was filled with suspicion.
Because something was amiss!
There was one thing she didnât tell senior brother Chen Changâan â that when she was preparing the meat this morning, she found a recipe that had fallen out from it.
Whatâs more, the recipe not only listed ways to cook the mystery meat perfectly,
It listed several methods of preparing this type of meat.
Mao Ruxue tried it, and any method worked well with the meat, bringing out its flavors to perfection.
At first, she thought the note was left by senior brother Chen Changâan, but now it seems thatâs not the case.
Since senior brother said it was his first time dealing with this type of meat, he wouldnât lie to her, as there was no reason for her to be deceived.
If that is the case, the truth leaves only one possibility,
Does this spiritual beast come with a bonus recipe when found?!
This is too absurd!
Considering this outrageous possibility, Mao Ruxue quickly shook her head to forcefully forget it.
This was simply too far-fetched.
It was even more ludicrous than the possibility of her senior brother being Emperor Song!
Thankfully, Chen Changâan didnât know what Mao Ruxue was thinking. Otherwise, he would surely tell her seriously that
Both her guesses, were actually quite plausible.
The first one was slightly far-fetched, but junior sister might not have ever experienced finding a âHeixuâ in the vast desert, with the âHeixuâ even coming with a complete set of instructions...
As for the second guess, junior sister shouldnât blindly speculate. I, your senior brother, am a legitimate Righteous Cultivator, do I look like a Great Demon to you?
Returning to the story.
While Mao Ruxue was puzzled, Chen Changâan on the other side put down his chopsticks.
Having eaten Immortal Whale meat for three months, he naturally chose that as his first course.
He was almost tired of cooking and eating the Immortal Whale meat himself, trying Mao Ruxueâs cooking was a nice change.
The slices of meat Mao Ruxue had cut were very thin. Chen Changâan dipped a slice into the sauce Mao Ruxue had concocted and swallowed it in one bite.
Not bad, not bad.
The instant the meat entered his mouth, Chen Changâanâs eyes lit up.
He had been eating Immortal Whale meat for more than three months. Its flavor was so familiar to him that it couldnât be any more familiar.
But Chen Changâan found, Mao Ruxueâs dish
Compared to his own cooking, was distinctly different.
In the dish Mao Ruxue made, there was an added delicate fragrance.
This kind of fragrance can only be achieved by meticulous women when they cook. Men definitely couldnât recreate it.
Indeed, saving the Immortal Whale meat for Mao Ruxue to cook when she returned was the right decision.
Again, he took a slice and held it in his mouth.
While chewing, he gave a thumbs up and mumbled praises at Mao Ruxue,
"Hmm, not bad, not bad."
"Junior sister, I think the meals on the mountain should be cooked by you from now on."
"The same dish made by you truly tastes better than the one made by me."
Was it really that good?
Noticing senior brother Chen Changâanâs delight, Mao Ruxue felt confused.
She admitted that when this unfamiliar meat was first cooked, she had smelled a savory aroma, and it was a fragrance she had never experienced before.
But regardless of how delicious it was, it was just a dish after all. Wasnât her senior brother exaggerating a bit?
Mao Ruxue didnât understand.
"Junior sister, what are you waiting for, start eating."
"Otherwise, when I finish eating and youâre still hungry, donât blame me."
At that moment, Chen Changâan on the other side spoke up.
"Uh-huh, okay senior brother."
Mao Ruxue quickly nodded.
