But in reality, she very much wanted to tell her senior brother Chen Changâan that she has already become a True King attaining Dao, having mastered worldly detachment. Even if she doesnât eat or drink for ten years, a hundred years, or even a thousand years, she would not feel hungry.
However, Mao Ruxue didnât say it. This was her super high-level secret identity. How could she reveal such a thing?
It was a bit of a pity that she originally intended to use these divine abilities to drive away the Sword Master who was entrenched in the immortal Sword City.
Yet, despite all planning and calculations, she hadnât expected that the opponent would have reinforcements. Suddenly two Sword Masters appeared, and she could only helplessly retreat.
What a big regret that was.
Oh...I digressed. What was I supposed to be doing again?
Oh, right! Eating!
Mao Ruxue suddenly came back to her senses, then she picked up her chopsticks and reached for the meat on the table.
She picked up a thin slice of meat, and following the example set by her senior brother Chen Changâan, she dipped it into the sauce a few times.
Afterward, she put the whole piece in her mouth and began to chew.
This way of eating was quite novel. Without seeing her senior brother eating this way, Mao Ruxue would not have known how to begin.
At the same time, Mao Ruxue had already decided that no matter how good or bad the meat tasted, she was determined to act as if she was really enjoying it.
After all, no matter what, she couldnât let Senior Brother feel embarrassed.
Hmm?!
However, this idea only lasted a moment. The moment the meat entered her mouth, Mao Ruxue was astounded.
In that moment, she felt her brain going into a daze, the taste of that meat was refreshing and pleasing.
Then, following her instinct, she bit into the meat and began to chew.
Wait, what?!?
Just as Mao Ruxue was about to refuse, an explosive, tender and savory sensation exploded in her mouth. It was as if she had ascended to a celestial realm, freely roaming thousands of miles in the sky, and it took a long while for her to come back to herself.
Even when she finally returned to her senses, her mouth was still full of the delicious flavor.
The most frightening thing was that even after swallowing it, the pleasant taste lingered and the aftertaste was endless!
"What...?!"
"Oh my gosh! Brother, what kind of meat is this? Why is it so delicious?"
"Did I really cook this meat?"
At this moment, Mao Ruxue lost all pretense and asked Chen Changâan in a shocked tone.
Whether it was the liver of a dragon or the marrow of a phoenix, Mao Ruxue wasnât sure. But what she could be sure about was that this plate of meat in front of her was a true delicacy.
"Junior Sister, this is..." Chen Changâan was immediately going to speak.
"Brother, donât say it. You just went hunting down the mountain and it was accidental, right?"
"I understand. I understand everything."
However, before Chen Changâan could finish his sentence, Mao Ruxue interrupted him, looking as if she understood it all.
To be honest, having been on the mountain for so long, she was almost immune to all the eccentricities of this senior brother of hers.
Take this overly delicious meat for example, if someone said that this spiritual beastâs meat was not from a beloved creature of an elder or the Mountain Lord down the mountain, Mao Ruxue would never believe it.
Thereâs even a chance it could be from Sect Master Li Daoranâs stash!
However, so what? Mao Ruxue was not interested in the secrets behind it at all. All Mao Ruxue wanted right now was to eat.
"Hmm."
Seeing Mao Ruxue in this state, Chen Changâan simply smiled. He didnât pay attention to it. Instead, he focused his top priority on eating the food on the table.
An hour later, the two, full from food and drink, sat on stone stools.
The faces of both of them were filled with satisfaction, glowing red, still reminiscing the wonderful meal they had.
However, based on their present state, anyone who didnât know might think they had just been in a great fight.
After their meal, the two cleaned up the dishes and utensils. Chen Changâan then returned to his lounge chair, and Mao Ruxue stood by, not leaving.
"Junior sister, is there something else?"
Seeing this, Chen Changâan immediately expressed his confusion. Usually, after eating, his junior sister would immediately return to her cultivation, what was different about today?
"Huh?"
Having heard Chen Changâanâs words, Mao Ruxue was taken aback for a moment. Then with a hint of disbelief, she asked:
"Senior Brother, isnât it that every disciple who returns from their worldly experience has to share their adventures with their senior peers?"
"What? There is such a thing?"
Mao Ruxueâs words made Chen Changâan completely baffled.
He quickly rummaged through his memories and found that there was indeed such a rule in the Tianshui Sect.
Ehm, this situation had just become awkward.
However, it seemed as if there wasnât much to ask.
Chen Changâan was very aware that his junior sister hadnât gone for a worldly experience, but had instead gone for cultivation.
Even if he asked, what he would get would undoubtedly be an invented story of her journey.
Who knows if it would include some dramatic plot twists?
So, to avoid an awkward situation for both of them, Chen Changâan felt it was better not to ask.
"Junior sister, isnât it better if we donât ask?"
Consequently, Chen Changâan subconsciously proposed to Mao Ruxue.
"Huh? Weâre not asking?"
Chen Changâanâs words made Mao Ruxue, who had been preparing to replay her journey so as not to get caught out, stunned.
