Lou Munan didn't answer his question and strode forward. The white-clad youth watched his retreating figure, put away his storage bag, and quickly followed. As they walked, they smelled the aroma of food wafting from the restaurant ahead.
Cultivators often abstain from grains once they reach the Foundation Establishment stage, but this doesn't mean they can't eat. Some might think cultivators eat to satisfy their appetites, but that's not entirely true.
Because the food that cultivators eat is completely different from that of ordinary people. It is either spiritual herbs and plants or rare and precious materials, or various exotic beasts such as demon beasts, wild beasts, and savage beasts. These things are usually the materials for pills. In other words, the food in the cultivation world can be used as pills after it is ingested.
In many high-end restaurants, chefs prepare dishes with the same meticulous care as alchemists. In the cultivation world, dining in a restaurant is a luxury, especially when the food you order uses rare and precious ingredients.
Looking at the restaurant in front of her, Feng Chu smiled and said to Lou Munan, "You've helped me so much today, how about I treat you to a big meal?"
Lou Munan crossed his arms and looked at the young man's handsome face: "You're just craving it yourself, aren't you?"
That hit the nail on the head.
But Feng Chu wouldn't admit it. He stubbornly said, "I'm not a child anymore. Are you going or not?"
"What are you if not a child?" Lou Munan chuckled and patted his head.
Ten years ago, Feng Chu ate the longevity fruit, and his body stopped growing. He hated being treated like a child, and he angrily slapped Lou Munan's hand away: "I'm twenty-two years old, I'm an adult."
A demon lord, whose age exceeded four trillion, chuckled: "Oh, you're already twenty-two~"
Feng Chu: "..."
He remembered that Xu Fengzhi might be several hundred years old, and he felt a sense of defeat.
He said angrily, "Are you going or not?"
Lou Munan looked at him and smiled, "Go, someone's treating, why don't you go?"
The two of them walked towards the restaurant ahead.
————
On the third floor of the restaurant, by the window, sat a man dressed in black and a young man in white. The man in black was handsome; he held a glass of wine, leaned back in his chair, and looked languid.
The female cultivators around him couldn't help but look at him, and some of them were already smitten.
The boy opposite the man in black was very handsome, with skin as smooth as jade and a pair of light golden eyes as clear as yellow gemstones. There was a small red mole at the corner of his left eye, which made his skin look even more like it had been sculpted from snow.
The boy was holding chopsticks and enjoying his meal.
"Aren't you going to eat? This stewed fish is delicious!!" Feng Chu said with a smile, immediately picking up a large piece of fish with his chopsticks and putting it into his bowl.
The Heluo fish has one head and ten bodies. It's a fish with one head but ten bodies. This large Heluo fish is placed on a big plate, with its ten bodies clustered around the head, like a flower in bloom.
The stewed fish was very tender, and the side dishes were also delicious.
Feng Chu couldn't stop eating once she took a bite.
Lou Munan looked at the young man sitting opposite him, and for a moment he felt as if he had been transported back to the past. He remembered how he used to take his little nephew on a journey across various star systems in search of all kinds of delicacies.
He gazed at the boy before him; the boy's face and expression were almost identical to his nephew in his memory. He almost mistook the boy for his nephew. But soon, he remembered the fact that his nephew was dead.
"You haven't tasted real gourmet food yet," Lou Munan said with a smile.
"Real gourmet food? Where can I find it?" Feng Chu asked.
Lou Munan had intended to say, "I'll show you around sometime," but then he remembered the places he and Xiaoyue had visited, places that existed trillions of years ago and were long gone. Even if they were still there, they wouldn't be able to find the chef from back then.
A sense of desolation suddenly enveloped him, causing him to feel depressed.
Looking at his expression, Feng Chu was puzzled: "What's wrong with you?"
Lou Munan put down his wine glass and suddenly said, "Give me the ring you're wearing."
"Oh." Feng Chu didn't ask why, and handed the phoenix head ring on her left hand to Lou Munan.
Lou Munan took the ring he had acquired from the auction at Tianbao Pavilion. The ring shimmered in his hand, and he had placed countless restrictions on it. Then he returned the ring to Feng Chu.
"You added a restriction on it?" Feng Chu asked. With the introductory jade slip on restriction techniques given to him by A Yao, he had already achieved considerable skill in this area. After all, A Yao was a former Immortal Emperor, and what she gave him was certainly not some common introductory restriction technique.
However, with Feng Chu's current level of skill, he still cannot understand the restrictions imposed by Lou Munan.
"I'll help you strengthen your defenses," Lou Munan said casually.
Feng Chu smiled and said, "Thanks!"
The young man in white put the ring back on his left middle finger and continued to eat heartily. Suddenly, he saw Lou Munan's gaze turn to the street, and he revealed a look of gritted teeth.
Curious, he followed Lou Munan's gaze and saw this scene:
At a street stall, a stunningly beautiful young woman in a purple gauze dress and a strikingly handsome young man in a white robe were smiling and selecting sachets, their actions appearing quite intimate. Standing together, they looked like a perfect couple, attracting countless envious glances.
Lu Xueyao and...
Feng Chu didn't recognize Nangong Qi, but he now understood what Xu Fengzhi was gritting his teeth about. He glanced at A Yao and Nangong Qi, then cast a sympathetic look at Lou Munan.
He really did get dumped!
Lou Munan quickly noticed Feng Chu's strange gaze, and his eye twitched slightly: "Could you please stop looking at me with that pitying gaze?"
Feng Chu looked at him, forced a smile, and said, "Actually, you don't need to be too sad. What's that saying? There are plenty of fish in the sea, and a real man should never worry about not having a wife!"
At the end, he deliberately put on a serious face.
Lou Munan: "..."
Lou Munan said to Feng Chu with a cold face, "Don't think nonsense. I just use that woman as a pastime."
Upon hearing this, the boy in white nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"Uh-huh!"
They don't believe it at all; they're just being stubborn.
However, to protect Xu Fengzhi's pride, Feng Chu reluctantly believed him.
Lou Munan: "..."
He wanted to explain himself, saying he didn't like Lu Xueyao at all, and it was all Xu Fengzhi's fault, that rebellious alter ego, that bastard had influenced his emotions and behavior. But he didn't know how to explain this to Feng Chu.
In the end, all he could do was grind his teeth.
After grinding his teeth, he couldn't help but look at Ayao and Nangong Qi on the street.
His gaze was too intense and sharp; Ayao noticed it. Ayao looked up and saw Lou Munan, and also Feng Chu sitting opposite him. Upon seeing Feng Chu, Ayao's pupils suddenly contracted.
