"Leng Yue, are you sure you're a top chef?"
Jiang Yuan stared at the huge wings on the stove, which were already emitting black smoke, his lips twitching incessantly. It was all because of the woman in front of him who called herself a super chef.
I had the theoretical knowledge, but the results in practice were truly appalling.
"I don't think it's my fault. Your wings are from a Grey-faced Vulture. With my current abilities, I can't handle such high-level ingredients!" Leng Yue calmly shirked responsibility, even though she knew it was because her skills weren't mature enough.
"Really?" Jiang Yuan turned to Ning Yanlan after reading it. "Yanlan, what do you think? Why don't you do it? Otherwise, we'll be eating charcoal later. After all, I only have this one pair of wings. If I lose one, there's really nowhere to replenish them!"
When the Grey-faced Vulture died, its body was smashed, and with the ants constantly devouring its flesh and blood, he only collected a pair of wings and didn't get any other meat. But now, in order to let Leng Yue practice, he selflessly gave up only one wing.
"Didn't you notice that although these wings don't look very appetizing, the inside is quite different?" Ning Yanlan also loves food, but her perspective on food is different from Jiang Yuan's. Jiang Yuan focuses on whether the food is edible, while Ning Yanlan focuses on how the food changes during the cooking process.
Clearly, Leng Yue wasn't just roasting wings; she also used a unique method to combine the meat with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and even employed a purification technique to concentrate the essence of the meat.
Leng Yue nodded, glanced at Jiang Yuan disdainfully, and then said, "I've thought of a saying!"
"What did you say?"
"The way to a man's heart is through his stomach! And to add, the way to his stomach is through his mouth!" Leng Yue casually mocked Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan: "..."
"Big sister, please have some understanding of me. I'm just a patient right now!" Jiang Yuan was quite adept at playing the victim.
"Stop pretending to be pitiful, go and call your sister-in-law and Xiao Xin over to eat together!" Ning Yanlan urged him with a smile to go and call them.
"Are you really willing to let me, a patient, go?" Jiang Yuan looked at Ning Yanlan with an exaggerated expression.
"Go ahead, it's just a short walk, it'll help you get some exercise!" Ning Yanlan said coquettishly.
Jiang Yuan lost all resistance upon seeing this, and obediently got up to go out and call for help.
He had just left the kitchen when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door. He wondered, "Didn't they say no one comes here? Why is someone coming at three in the morning?"
"Could it be Zhu Penghai?"
He rejected this idea as soon as it came to mind, because the newcomer's footsteps were very light and there was no energy fluctuation, which was similar to the methods of ancient martial arts practitioners. Although Zhu Penghai could be considered a master, he was definitely not an ancient martial arts practitioner.
"Who is it?" Jiang Yuan cautiously peered through the peephole into the door.
"Young man, this old man smells the aroma of meat. May I come in and have a meal with you?"
A voice sounded from outside the door, very polite, and Jiang Yuan could see who it was.
"It's him!"
Jiang Yuan was very surprised because he recognized the person who came; it was Li Tiegen, the founder of the camp. "He actually has ancient martial arts skills!"
This was something Jiang Yuan hadn't anticipated, because initially he only saw that Li Tiegen possessed soul energy and a high-level talent called the Spear of War; he hadn't expected that Li Tiegen had hidden his abilities.
"Young friend, we've gotten to know each other a bit better now, so you don't mind if this old man comes over for a free meal, do you?" Li Tiegen said with a kind smile on his wrinkled face.
Jiang Yuan couldn't discern the other party's intentions, but he opened the door based on his intuition.
"Uncle Li, what brings you here?" Jiang Yuan opened the door and kept a safe distance from Li Tiegen. Although he didn't think Li Tiegen would make a move, it was always better to be cautious.
"Young friend, it's been a long time!" Li Tiegen wasn't surprised to see Jiang Yuan; he seemed to have guessed that he would come.
"Did Captain Zhu tell the old man?" Jiang Yuan asked tentatively, seeing Li Tiegen's reaction.
Li Tiegen shook his head and smiled, "There's no need to doubt him. Although Zhu Penghai isn't particularly talented, he's incredibly loyal and devoted. He wouldn't betray you!"
"Then you?"
“I live over there. Actually, I sensed you entering this place as soon as you came in. After all, I have a deep memory of the unique attributes you possess! But I couldn’t find a good reason to come and see you before. Now that I smelled the aroma of meat, I made an excuse to drop by!” Li Tiegen pointed to the only courtyard not far away.
"Then let's go in, Uncle Li!" Jiang Yuan was sensible and knew how to navigate social situations. This place was also Li Tiegen's territory, and he didn't have any ill intentions, so there was no problem with him coming in.
"Young friend, have you damaged your foundation?" Li Tiegen noticed Jiang Yuan's physical condition this time. After speaking, he shook his head and said in surprise, "No, not only has your foundation been damaged, but there are also powerful toxins in your body!"
"Uncle Li, I'd like to ask you for a favor!" Jiang Yuan looked at Li Tiegen solemnly.
"Don't worry, I know your situation. The old man also likes peace and quiet and won't let anyone disturb you!" Li Tiegen expressed his understanding.
"Then thank you very much, Uncle Li!" Jiang Yuan said, bowing with his hands clasped in thanks.
Grandpa Li waved his hand and said, "Let's put that aside for now. What happened to your injuries?"
"I was injured by the poison of a ninth-tier spirit beast, and now the poison has invaded every corner of my body!" Jiang Yuan didn't seem to care much.
"It's not that simple!" Grandpa Li frowned.
"I also have hidden injuries. I was injured by a strange creature before, which was only at the ninth level. So the injury has not healed. My bones and organs are severely damaged, and my energy has not been able to recover!" Jiang Yuan concealed the fact that Chi Yu was a fairy.
"Good lad! He actually managed to escape from two ninth-tier beings. He's a promising young man!" Li Tiegen exclaimed in amazement.
Jiang Yuan gave a wry smile and said, "It was just youthful arrogance. Now he's ended up severely injured and on the verge of death!"
“Your injuries are difficult to heal with external force, but I do know a way!” Li Tiegen became interested, his eyes full of curiosity.
"Uncle Li, you're not kidding, are you?" Jiang Yuan's heart stirred slightly. Although he didn't quite believe it, he still wanted to give it a try.
"Hahaha!"
Li Tiegen laughed loudly, sniffing the air as he said, "I can teach you this method, but I can't teach it for nothing!"
Jiang Yuan understood immediately and replied, "Of course, please feel free to ask, Uncle Li!"
"This old man has always loved wine and meat, so I won't take advantage of you. I'll teach you after we finish this meal!" Li Tiegen said with a smile, a smile that carried a unique gentleness.
"Uncle Li, this..." Jiang Yuan didn't expect the other party to make such a request, because he would have treated him to a meal even if he hadn't asked.
"Feeling awkward? Well, the old man won't take advantage of you. I brought my own wine, so I'll just wait for your approval!" Li Tiegen took out a flask of wine and waved it in front of Jiang Yuan.
"Please come in, Uncle Li!" Jiang Yuan said no more. He could tell that Li Tiegen was trying to help him. If it really worked, he would remember this kindness and repay it in the future.
"Then I'll have to trouble you!"
