Jiang Yuan, carrying a bowl of noodles, was left outside. "Ahem, Yanlan, the noodles are ready. Aren't you going to open the door?"

"Your thoughts are too dangerous, I need to calm down!" Ning Yanlan's voice came from inside the door.

"Uh!" Jiang Yuan was speechless for a moment. He thought for a moment and said, "Then I'm leaving!"

Jiang Yuan waited a few seconds, and then he heard the door being gently pulled open a crack, revealing half of Ning Yanlan's face. Her eyes were still somewhat evasive.

"etc!"

Ning Yanlan called out to Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan looked at her exposed face with a half-smile, showing no intention of leaving.

"Bring the bowl closer, let me smell if it smells good!" Ning Yanlan said softly.

Jiang Yuan smiled faintly, then brought the bowl closer, only to see Ning Yanlan take a deep breath.

"I can tell it doesn't taste good just by the smell, you can leave now!" Ning Yanlan showed a disgusted expression.

That's right, that's what Ning Yanlan was planning. If it tasted good, she'd let him in; if it didn't, then forget it. She could tell from just one sniff that it wasn't very good, so she quickly made her choice.

Jiang Yuan didn't care and pushed the door open with his elbow.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you going to force me again?!" Ning Yanlan panicked, but her strength was no match for Jiang Yuan's.

"What are you thinking? It's just noodles!" Jiang Yuan really wanted to crack open this woman's head to see what was inside.

"Don't even think about kicking me out. I still need the Holy Spirit Source in your hands to cultivate tonight!" Jiang Yuan pushed open the door and placed the noodles on the bedside table. "These are the best-tasting noodles I can make. Whether you eat them or not is up to you!"

"Jiang Yuan, have you eaten yet?" Ning Yanlan asked Jiang Yuan, looking at the full bowl of noodles.

"I don't know how much you can eat. If you can eat three big bowls, how could I possibly take food from your mouth?" Jiang Yuan said nonchalantly.

"You've only eaten three big bowls! I'm not hungry, I just wanted a change of pace!" Ning Yanlan said resentfully. As a woman, you can say that being able to eat a lot is essentially the same as not being pretty.

"Look how hard I'm trying to make you noodles..."

"You still dare to say 'down there'!" Ning Yanlan gritted her teeth. The moment she started thinking about it in a dirty way, she couldn't stand Jiang Yuan mentioning "down there." She could already picture it in her mind. What could she do?

"Alright, alright, since I've worked so hard to make noodles for you, shouldn't I cultivate my Holy Spirit Source a bit?" Jiang Yuan said eagerly.

There was nothing I could do; I had to ask to use other people's things!

"Here you go!" Ning Yanlan shoved the tiny pagoda, barely the size of her palm, into Jiang Yuan's hands. "So you won't look like a complaining woman!"

"A true man doesn't accept charity!" Jiang Yuan happily put away the Holy Spirit Source. "Luckily, this isn't for eating!"

Ning Yanlan rolled her eyes at him. He was too shameless. She had just thought he was going to stand up for himself. "Are you saying that I, a woman, am going to accept charity?"

Ning Yanlan put the bowl on the table.

"No, no, no, there's no such thing as giving or receiving things between us. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine!" Jiang Yuan played with the Holy Spirit Source in his hand.

"You wish!" Ning Yanlan picked up a noodle and started eating. Although it didn't taste very good, it was still hot food, and it was much more delicious than dry beef balls.

"Why is this thing so powerful? It's such a small thing!" Jiang Yuan looked at the small tower. It was hard to imagine that such a small thing could nurture a vein of Holy Spirit Stones.

“Some things can’t be judged just by their size! Perhaps this thing is like nuclear material, small in size but capable of unleashing tremendous power!” Ning Yanlan said.

"This is only the beginner level; how powerful must the intermediate and advanced levels be!" Jiang Yuan exclaimed.

"Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?" Ning Yanlan pointed to her bowl.

"I'd rather not eat what you've eaten!" Jiang Yuan shook his head and said.

Ning Yanlan was furious. She said angrily, "Then why didn't you feel disgusted when you nibbled on me last time? Now you're acting all coy!"

Jiang Yuan: "..."

"Men are all dogs! All dogs!" Ning Yanlan gripped her chopsticks and poked at the noodles in her bowl, as if she were treating the noodles as Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan looked at the Elementary Holy Spirit Source in his hands, which he hadn't even warmed yet, then quickly snatched the bowl and chopsticks, and said righteously, "How could I possibly dislike it? It's not like I spat in it!"

As he spoke, Jiang Yuan picked up a handful of noodles and swallowed several large mouthfuls.

Seeing this, Ning Yanlan remained silent until Jiang Yuan had almost finished eating, at which point she said, "I really did spit!"

Jiang Yuan stopped abruptly, then turned to look at Ning Yanlan's face for three seconds before burying his head in his food and continuing to eat.

That saying is true: when it comes to looks, one's values ​​follow one's appearance.

"Aren't you going to show... even a little bit of surprise?" Ning Yanlan felt like she had punched thin air, and the sense of frustration made her feel terrible. "Or, disgust!"

"It's alright, I don't mind!" Jiang Yuan said with a stern expression.

Ning Yanlan was speechless. She originally wanted to disgust Jiang Yuan, but she didn't expect to disgust herself instead. This guy didn't even mind that she spat, even though she made it up on the spot.

Before long, Jiang Yuan had finished a bowl of noodles. Seeing Ning Yanlan's unnatural expression, he asked, "Do you cultivate?"

“Cultivate!” Ning Yanlan said confidently to Jiang Yuan, who seemed unconcerned. “Tonight, I must raise my spiritual energy to level ten.”

"Keep up the good work, the Heaven and Earth Society will come looking for trouble again. When that happens, I'll have to cling to you like a big shot!" Jiang Yuan laughed.

"You're the one with thick thighs, I'm very slim, okay!" Ning Yanlan retorted.

Jiang Yuan smiled faintly, activated the Holy Spirit Source, placed it on the bed, and then began cultivating on his own.

This time, Ning Yanlan didn't care about anything else and simply lay down on the bed to sleep. Before, when she tried to cultivate diligently, her spiritual energy increased even more slowly, so she chose to be a lazy bum. Why not increase her spiritual energy while sleeping?
