When Fang Ruotang asked the question, she glanced up at the person, but then her attention returned to the dishes on the table. Seeing that Ye Wuxia was holding a shrimp shell for a long time without peeling it, she turned her chopsticks around and poked the back of his hand, urging him, "What are you doing! Peel it quickly."

She likes to eat shrimp, but she doesn't like peeling them.

The inn happened to have shrimp today, and they tasted very fresh. Fang Ruotang ate them with great pleasure, and Ye Wuxia couldn't keep up with her eating speed.

Ye Wuxia shifted her gaze from Shen Shi'an's face to Fang Ruotang's. She saw that Fang Ruotang's eyes were full of longing for food, and she didn't notice at all that Shen Shi'an had specially prepared a new look for the occasion.

A hint of pleasure flashed across Ye Wuxia's face as she placed the peeled shrimp in Fang Ruotang's bowl. Then, with a wave of her hand, she used magic to peel off all the shrimp shells.

Fang Ruotang stared blankly, then asked in confusion, "Didn't you just say that shrimp peeled like this don't taste as good as shrimp peeled by hand?"

"Times have changed," Ye Wuxia replied calmly.

The two of them were having dinner in the room just now, and peeling shrimp was a sign of their affection. But now that his rival is here, dressed smartly, while he's peeling shrimp with his hands all greasy and wet, he looks less imposing and like a sallow-faced husband, which is not a good look.

Fang Ruotang couldn't understand Ye Wuxia. Anyway, he was the one who made the reasoning. He stuffed a shrimp into his mouth and then stopped eating. He stood up and used a cleansing spell to make himself clean and radiant.

Fang Ruotang was dumbfounded. "What are you doing? Aren't you going to eat?"

She looked at the table full of delicious food, frowned, and said, "I can't finish all of this by myself! Wouldn't it be a waste if you didn't eat it?"

Ye Wuxia looked helplessly at Fang Ruotang's troubled face, somewhat speechless. Her love rival had already come knocking on her door, and at a time like this, she was still thinking about food!

Fang Ruotang didn't notice anything different about Shen Shi'an compared to before, and therefore couldn't grasp the intention behind Ye Wuxia's actions.

So, in order not to waste it, she turned to ask Shen Shi'an.

"Would you like to sit down and have something to eat? We just ate a little while ago, and we used serving chopsticks, so it's not dirty."

Shen Shi'an usually takes fasting pills. Looking at the food on the table in front of him, which was no different from what had been delivered to his room earlier, he hesitated.

But seeing the man beside Sect Leader Fang looking like he was guarding against a thief, she smiled and sat down, saying softly, "Then... it would be impolite to refuse."

Fang Ruotang didn't notice the subtle shifts in Shen Shi'an's voice. She straightened up and took out a bowl and chopsticks from her storage bag, placing them in front of him and saying, "Eat more, because you'll just throw it away anyway."

Shen Shi'an choked, looking at Fang Ruotang with a complicated expression.

Don't you think it's inappropriate to invite someone to sit down for a meal and then say something like that?

Fang Ruotang didn't notice and buried her head in her food again.

Shen Shi'an had no interest in mortal food, and after eating it, he would have to cultivate to cleanse his body of impurities, which was a troublesome matter for him.

Therefore, after sitting down, I didn't touch my chopsticks for a long time.

Fang Ruotang tilted her head in confusion, "Why aren't you eating?"

"They just don't like it! They can't eat this kind of food." Ye Wuxia chuckled and replied, then said somewhat deliberately, "Xiao Liu, I want to eat bamboo shoots, feed me."

Fang Ruotang looked over and saw that Ye Wuxia also had bowls and chopsticks set out in front of him, clean and without a trace of oil. She couldn't understand why he didn't do it himself.

Without asking any further questions, she picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks, fed it to his lips, and asked, "Is there anything else you'd like to eat?"

"Is the chicken soup delicious? Is it tasty?"

"It tastes pretty good. It has mushrooms in it, and it smells very good."

As Fang Ruotang spoke, she scooped up a spoonful and fed it to Ye Wuxia's lips. Ye Wuxia lowered her head to drink, but her eyes were fixed on Shen Shi'an's direction.

In the past, given such a good opportunity, Ye Wuxia would definitely have clung to her wrist and said some ambiguous things. But this time, she looked at Shen Shi'an with a provocative gaze.

Fang Ruotang finally understood. She was speechless and even wanted to laugh out loud because she thought she had made herself clear enough. She didn't expect Ye Wuxia to be so jealous.

But Fang Ruotang was very cooperative during the rest of the meal. It was the first time she had ever served someone a meal like this, and she found it quite fun.

When Ye Wuxia said she was full, Fang Ruotang was still a little unsatisfied.

"Aren't you going to eat it? There's still so much left."

"I'm not eating. I don't want to keep people waiting."

"So what? He came to disturb us while we were eating, and he was even being impolite!"

Fang Ruotang didn't seem to care much, but her words made Shen Shi'an feel awkward.

He fidgeted and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be eating."

The food served at the inn wasn't spiritual food, so he never expected anyone to eat it. After all, everyone in the group was a cultivator, and who would crave heavy flavors?

Surprisingly, some people actually ate it, and they seemed to enjoy it very much.

Fang Ruotang twitched the corner of her mouth, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and then looked directly at Shen Shi'an.

"Now that you've finished eating, you can tell me what it is!

Fang Ruotang didn't like this way of communicating, especially since the other person was disturbing her meal.

Shen Shi'an glanced at Ye Wuxia, then lowered his eyes again.

Ye Wuxia laughed in exasperation, utterly speechless, but she didn't considerately stand up and offer her private space.

He's not stupid.

Fang Ruotang raised her eyebrows slightly, "Just say it! He's my man, he knows everything about me, there's no need to hide it."

Shen Shi'an's eyelashes trembled slightly. She raised her head slightly, glanced at Fang Ruotang, and quickly lowered her head, like a stubborn mule.

Fang Ruotang opened her clear, bright eyes and looked at his expression. She said bluntly, "Why did you let him out? You wouldn't be thinking of letting him out so you could seduce me, would you? You don't have any weird drugs on you that you want to force us into marriage, do you?"

Ye Wuxia's already furrowed brows became even more wary upon hearing Fang Ruotang's words.

Seeing Shen Shi'an's words, Ye Wuxia quickly glanced at them and asked speechlessly, "No, are you really going to do this? Who gave you the guts?"

"No, no, I just wanted to talk to you about the Dust Flower alone."

"What's there to talk about? Just give it to me, that's all."

Fang Ruotang was still aware of the danger; this person was clearly trying to take advantage of her, and she couldn't let him get away with it.

Although in the eyes of the world, Shen Shi'an's physical condition as a furnace cauldron meant that she was getting a great deal by being with him, she didn't think so.

“No, the time isn’t right yet. I’ll come back later to talk to you privately.” Shen Shi’an stood up, nodded slightly, and then turned to leave.

Fang Ruotang tapped the table impatiently and said to Ye Wuxia, "Are you going to stay in the secret realm for a while, or go outside and wait?"
