Afterward, the group started chatting leisurely, but it was mostly the three women talking. Chen Xuan awkwardly sipped his tea, acting as a listener.
However, his attention was mostly focused on Ning Xian.
This made her somewhat displeased, and she even asked him directly, "Why do you keep staring at me?"
"You look very similar to a friend of mine, so I couldnāt help but take a few more glances!"
This wasnāt just nonsense on his part.
Ning Xian indeed resembled Ning Xin, not in appearance, but in a special aura.
It should be due to their bloodline.
"Pfft!"
Ning Xian immediately laughed, and said, scornfully, "Iāve lost count of how many times Iāve heard that. Plenty of men have said it."
However, Xian Si looked at Chen Xuan with some doubt.
The next moment, her pupils suddenly dilated, as if she had guessed something.
Just as she was about to speak, a maidās voice came from outside.
"Sister Ning Xian, everything is ready!"
"Alright, sisters! Some delicacies await, even the Profound Realm Sea Beast hasnāt tasted them yet!"
Ning Xian smiled at the two women, then instructed to the outside, "Bring it in then!"
The door was gently opened.
A line of maids carried exquisite porcelain plates in succession.
Before long,
the table was filled, dazzling in its colors.
It was all rare delicacies, even the ordinary pastries were introduced by the maids as containing age-old medicinal herbs.
Of course, what attracted the fourās attention most was a translucent platter of meat in the center of the table, laid atop an ice mountain.
It emitted a faint mist.
"This meat hasnāt undergone any treatment, as the chef said this is the most delicious way."
The maid introduced with her head slightly lowered.
"Understood, you may leave now!"
Ning Xian waved her hand at her.
"Yes!"
The maid retreated a few steps, then turned and gently closed the door, thereafter standing outside awaiting orders.
"Huh?"
Chen Xuan expressed a sound of curiosity.
"This sea beast is something else!"
Upon seeing this, the women also took a closer look.
But they couldnāt understand the peculiarity, so Gu Pengyou asked, "Whatās special about this sea beast?"
"This sea beast cultivates Spiritual Power, didnāt you notice?"
Chen Xuan was somewhat surprised.
None of them were weak, although the Spiritual Power in the sea beast meat was quite subtle.
But with careful perception, it could still be detected.
The three womenās faces showed embarrassment.
Yet Ning Xian stated confidently, "Among the three of us, Sister Gu has the strongest Spiritual Power, barely at the Immortal Rank. Itās normal not to sense it!"
As for her and Xian Si, one was second rank, the other first rank.
"No wonder!"
Chen Xuan suddenly realized, the Spiritual Power in the sea beast meat was too weak, and it was only after reaching the Dao Realm that his sensitivity in both Spiritual Power and Ling Power had become exceptionally acute that he discovered it.
Profound Realm Sea Beasts, itās unclear if they benefit Spiritual Power.
Wait!
Chen Xuan suddenly recalled that white crystal stone he obtained back then.
So he quickly asked, "Does this sea beast have a white Crystal Stone?"
"Crystal Stone?"
Xian Si appeared puzzled, but she understood from his expression that this must be something very important, so she looked at Ning Xian.
"Got it, sister!"
She then got up and went outside, questioning the maid.
But she didnāt know either, so she immediately hurried downstairs.
"Wait, Iāve sent someone to ask, weāll know soon."
Ning Xian slowly said after returning.
Then she looked at Chen Xuan, "What is this Crystal Stone? Why are you so excited?"
