Jiang Lu instinctively trembled when he saw the chili peppers on the plate, and those painful memories instantly resurfaced in his mind. He carefully examined the plate and, finding no trace of the unfortunate encounters in life, breathed a sigh of relief, but it did not dispel his concerns.
Back then, the idea that "you never know where you'll meet someone" only made me feel better, and the culprit was this bright red stuff!
Jiang Lu looked at Huanfeng with a serious expression and said, "Grand-disciple, why don't you try this dish first? I think if it's too spicy, I might not be able to handle it."
Huanfeng looked at Yusheng with a serious expression and said, "Disciple, why don't you try this dish first? I think if it's too spicy, I might not be able to handle it."
Yu Sheng looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression, not understanding why he had to be the guinea pig when the dish looked perfectly normal.
However, he has learned his lesson now and picked up his chopsticks to eat without saying a word.
hiss……
As soon as the chicken nugget entered his mouth, Yu Sheng's eyes widened in surprise.
"Holy crap... is this chicken nuggets? Are you sure it's not a little fireball?"
With a mental grumble, Yu Sheng couldn't help but open his mouth wide and exhale, then inhale deeply. His junior sister, Leng Ling, couldn't bear to see this, so she handed him the wine glass in front of him.
Yu Sheng quickly took it and took a sip without thinking. But to Yu Sheng's dismay, this sip not only did not relieve the spiciness in his mouth, but also made him feel like his head was about to explode.
"Ice...hiss...ice...give me ice..."
Yu Sheng, sweating profusely from the spiciness and beginning to question his existence, couldn't even perform the simple Ice Condensation Technique. His junior sister, Leng Ling, hurriedly used the Ice Condensation Technique to condense a large piece of ice the size of a fist. Seeing her senior brother's pained expression, Leng Ling simply took matters into her own hands and stuffed the piece of ice directly into Yu Sheng's mouth.
The fist-sized piece of ice was still a bit too big for Yusheng's mouth, and Yusheng's eyes rolled back because of the pressure.
Jiang Lu felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but send a telepathic message to Huan Feng: "Grand-disciple, this dish looks quite potent. Will it taste the same as last time after we eat it?"
Huanfeng replied, "Master, do you think it's possible that Yusheng simply can't handle spicy food? It would be such a waste to give up this delicacy."
Jiang Lu nodded, agreeing with Huanfeng's point.
"Then you should try it. We have similar tastes, so if you can eat it, I can eat it too. Don't look for other disciples; I'm not familiar with their tastes."
Huanfeng never expected that his words would backfire so badly. He wanted to slap himself. His advisor had blocked his escape route. Was he being forced to be a guinea pig?
Huanfeng glanced at the plate, which looked to be at least half full of chili peppers, with a troubled expression, but in the end, he didn't dare to disobey his advisor's wishes.
Huanfeng picked out the chicken nugget furthest from the chili pepper and ate it. After chewing it for a while, he gave Yusheng a dissatisfied look.
Such a tiny bit of spiciness, why such a big reaction? Compared to the previous dishes, this is nothing at all!
"Don't worry, Master. The spiciness is probably only half that of the dishes last time. This kid probably hasn't eaten chili peppers before, which is why he's reacting so strongly."
...
Shenqing Zhenjun reluctantly placed immortal spirit stones into the teleportation array. He had already filled out the procedures required for descending to the mortal realm, and once he had enough immortal spirit stones, he could descend directly.
After Shenqing Zhenjun released the Immortal Spirit Stones, a strong burst of colorful light enveloped him, followed by a dizzying, weightless sensation.
Coming to his senses again, looking at the somewhat familiar yet unfamiliar scene before him, and smelling the somewhat familiar air, Shenqing Zhenjun couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion, his eyes welling up with tears.
Although I haven't been away for very long, the feeling of being apprehensive about returning home is already very real.
Although he didn't know where he was right now, returning to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect was incredibly easy. With just a slight sense, he could feel the majestic power emanating from Ye Feng's towering giant sword.
Once the location of the sword is determined, there is no possibility that it will fly away.
Shenqing Zhenjun was extremely fast, but Ye Feng's perception was even faster.
He sensed it the moment Shenqing Zhenjun descended to the mortal realm, and was initially delighted but then frowned.
The third dish had just been served, and he still had time. He put down the ladle and crushed the void, flying towards Shenqing Zhenjun.
"Senior brother..."
I'll blanch it!
The Shenqing Zhenjun, who was completely focused, was startled when he suddenly heard the voice. He was almost about to strike with his sword when he realized that the voice belonged to Ye Feng, which stopped him.
"Junior brother, do I need to teach you the principle that people can scare each other to death?"
Ye Feng ignored his words and asked directly, "Senior Brother, why did you go down to the lower realm alone? Did something happen?"
Shenqing Zhenjun laughed and said, "It's nothing else. The three of us have earned some immortal spirit stones from your vat of braised meat. The flavor of the braised meat tastes a bit bland to me, so I came to you to get some seasoning."
Ye Feng frowned and said, "Shouldn't it be you, Senior Brother, who came down to the mortal realm? Sister-in-law Youlan is pregnant, and you weren't there to take care of her?"
"What?"
Shenqing Zhenjun was shocked upon hearing Ye Feng's words and hurriedly asked, "When did Youlan become pregnant? And how did she get to the Immortal Realm? With her aptitude and cultivation, it's impossible for her to be pregnant so quickly!"
Ye Feng frowned deeply after hearing Shenqing Zhenjun's question.
Sister-in-law Youlan had clearly accepted the invitation from the Immortal Realm. Given the properties of that delicacy, she should have arrived at Senior Brother Shenqing's side long ago. So why hasn't she joined him yet?
This is a huge problem!
"I made a dish that can allow anyone who eats it to ascend to the immortal realm. After much discussion, our sect decided that Sister Youlan would be the most suitable to eat it. We watched her ascend to the immortal realm not long ago. If she hasn't come to find you yet, then something must have happened that we don't know about."
Ye Feng briefly explained the whole story, and Shenqing Zhenjun's expression became extremely serious and anxious at this moment.
"Senior brother, come back to the sect with me first. I'll find someone to ask around."
After Ye Feng finished speaking, he pulled Shenqing Zhenjun into the void, and in a flash they appeared at the mountain peak pavilion. Then he immediately took Shenqing Zhenjun directly to Wuya Immortal Emperor's private room.
The Boundless Immortal Emperor was enjoying his chicken when he saw the two uninvited guests suddenly enter. He couldn't help but say angrily, "You brat, do you know that disturbing other people's meals is very bad behavior?"
Ye Feng hurriedly said, "I have a few questions for you, and I'll make you a big meal later to make up for it."
