Outside the Shushan Sword Sect, there is a small pavilion atop the mountain.

Although Ye Feng asked Jian Qingfeng to help find a secluded place, the latter was still worried about Ye Feng's safety.

He directly used sword energy to construct a space on the mountaintop pavilion.

If the Immortal Beauty were to move even slightly, the crisscrossing sword energy would definitely be enough to give her a hard time.

The two of them stood there staring at each other, neither of them saying a word.

Time travel is my biggest secret, and I will never reveal it unless I am absolutely certain.

Ye Feng looked at the stunningly beautiful woman in front of him and said, "I heard that you have something to say to me? I'm all ears."

The Immortal Beauty remained calm: "Didn't I just pass on the message? That's exactly what I wanted to say."

"My master told me that our distinguished guest is from the same hometown as me?"

"Yes, even if we're not from the same hometown, would I ask you if Conan has grown up yet?"

Ye Feng asked cautiously, "Is this Conan referring to the little puppy in my backyard? But how did our distinguished guest know that?"

The Immortal Master Qingcheng, with an expression that seemed detached from worldly affairs, said: "I am a true immortal, so it is not surprising that I know some things about the mortal world."

"Then I'm curious, what business does this distinguished guest have with me?"

(Ye Feng's inner monologue: Damn, this little wench still hasn't given me a straight answer, and she's supposed to be an immortal? What if she's not from my hometown and knows I'm from another time? Will she just kill me?)

(Immortal Beauty: Damn, why is this damn brat so cautious? He won't say anything and I dare not say anything either! What if it's not what I think, or he learned his cooking skills from a fellow villager? If my identity is exposed, wouldn't I be doomed?)

Both of them were 99% certain that the other was from the same hometown.

But neither of them dared to gamble on that one point.

You only have one life; if you lose one gamble, you lose everything.

Then the two of them just stared at each other blankly again.

Fortunately, Ye Feng always cooks enough food for the whole day at once, otherwise the diners would have had to wait a long time.

"If our distinguished guest has nothing else to say, then I'll head back to the kitchen. I have a lot of things to do."

The celestial beauty remained unmoved: "Very well, farewell."

For a very long time...

Why haven't our distinguished guests made their way yet?

"You didn't leave either, did you?"

"I'm waiting for my distinguished guest to leave first; it's a matter of courtesy for a chef."

"You said you were leaving first, so I'll wait until you leave before I go."

For a very long time...

hiss……

Both of them gasped simultaneously.

This guy can really hold his liquor?!

Isn't she curious about what happened over there after she traveled through time?

Isn't he curious about how we got here? Isn't he curious about whether we can go back?

"All right."

The Immortal of Allure has been here longer, and her longing for that place runs deeper.

She was the first to break the silence.

"Actually, Conan isn't a cute puppy. He's a little..."

"Little what?"

Ye Feng also became nervous.

"A... a sapling?"

Blanch!

After cursing under their breath, the two of them started staring at each other again.

"Ahem, how about we play a game?"

It was the Immortal Beauty who spoke first.

She was utterly exasperated by the chef across from her; he was incredibly tight-lipped!

What game?

"How about I say the first line and you give the second?"

Ye Feng squinted. Were they preparing to exchange secret signals?

"Since our distinguished guest has such an interest, I will naturally accompany him to the end."

After careful consideration, the Immortal Beauty cautiously said, "Don't love me, it won't lead anywhere?"

?

Ye Feng stared at her, completely bewildered.

Isn't this a question-and-answer game?

What do you mean by that nonsensical sentence you just said?

I didn't say I love you, did I?

Is this level of narcissism?

"Um... Don't worry, esteemed guest, I have no plans to find a Daoist partner right now, so it's impossible for me to fall in love with you?"

?

Ye Feng's answer left even the Immortal Beauty completely bewildered.

It's really a coincidence that he can't even pick up on such a familiar joke.

What is our goal?

? ?

Ye Feng was dumbfounded again.

What is all this about?

Who's talking to you or us?

Where did the target come from?

"The vast universe?"

"?"

ah?

"?"

Huh? Huh?

The more Ye Feng looked at it, the more uneasy he felt.

However, the identity of the other party as a time traveler has been confirmed with 99.9% certainty.

The only question now is, when exactly did this woman travel through time?

She couldn't even understand a single one of these coded messages!

"How about we talk about Conan instead?"

Seeing that the beautiful immortal was already rolling her eyes, Ye Feng kindly reminded her.

The Immortal Beauty replied irritably, "What's there to talk about with a little sapling?"

Keep pretending!

"Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger?"

The Immortal Beauty's eyes lit up instantly as she replied, "Chicken stew with mushrooms?"

"A pagoda to suppress the river demon?"

"Mushrooms with chili peppers!"

What year were you born?

"Born in '91, or '04, what about you?"

"From 2002, and from 2023..."

Finally, the probing ended, and the two of them simultaneously exhaled the breath they had been holding for so long.

The Immortal Beauty sighed, "No wonder you couldn't match the codes I gave you; so many years have passed."

Ye Feng hurriedly asked the question that concerned him most: "How did you get here? Can you go back?"

"Why!"

With a sigh, Qingcheng sat down on the ground.

"Don't even think about it. I've already reached the True Immortal realm and I still don't understand why I ended up in such a godforsaken place, let alone how to get back."

Ye Feng followed her example and sat down on the ground.

"However, you've only been here for a little over ten years and you've already advanced to the True Immortal Realm. It seems you have great talent."

"More than ten years? That's Earth time! I've been here for more than 20,000 years, and I only became a True Immortal a little over a thousand years ago."

Both of them were originally full of anticipation for recognizing fellow townsmen.

But after recognizing them, it seems they don't really make any sense.

For a moment, both of them fell silent.

Ye Feng suddenly spoke up: "How did you get here back then? If we both came here in similar ways, is it possible for us to go back?"

Qingcheng frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "If I remember correctly, I should be an office worker. Back then, that awful boss made me work all sorts of overtime. I worked overtime for two months straight and died from overwork. That's how I ended up here. What about you?"

Ye Feng paused for a moment before saying, "Digging for lotus roots."

Qingcheng frowned: "I asked you how you got here, who wants to hear your exclamations?"

"Digging lotus roots!"

Ye Feng repeated it again.

"If you keep doing this, I'll get angry! Back then, working overtime was commonplace for us, what's so surprising about that?"

"Digging for lotus roots! I mean, I went to dig for lotus roots, and then I got stuck in the mud and drowned!"

"Pfft... Hahaha"

Qingcheng was immediately amused by the way Ye Feng died.

They laughed so hard they were doubled over.

The entire space filled with sword energy seemed to brighten up because of her smile.

"Do you grow lotus roots at home?"

"Uh...yes."

After hesitating for a while, Ye Feng was too embarrassed to admit that he was a gourmet.

I went to dig for lotus roots because I wanted to find the freshest ingredients.

Otherwise, I guess I would have been ridiculed by her even more.
