Lifting a corner of the plate revealed only a faint, pleasant aroma, unlike the instant fragrance of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. This displeased the somewhat expectant disciples of the Myriad Flowers Sect.
The Spring Dew Sect Master also gave a cold laugh, thinking that this person was nothing special.
When all the plates were lifted, everyone was pleasantly surprised to see the pink lotus root slices lying quietly on them; the delicate pink color is always pleasing to the eye.
Qingcheng picked up the chopsticks and explained, "Master, these are called chopsticks. You can hold them like this and use them to pick up the food to eat."
As she spoke, she picked up a slice of lotus root with her chopsticks, and everyone else's eyes were fixed on her chopsticks.
When you pick up a pink lotus root slice, it stretches out many long, thin lotus root threads. The shiny lotus root threads are stretched very long, making it look like the lotus root slices on the plate don't want to leave. It touches the heart of the person who sees it.
Qingcheng wouldn't be moved; she's just a foodie.
With her bright red lips, she took a bite out of half a lotus root slice. After two hours of pressure cooking, the lotus root slice had long lost its crisp texture, replaced by a unique soft and glutinous taste. Combined with the soft and sticky glutinous rice inside, it had a unique and wonderful texture. The osmanthus syrup drizzled on top was the finishing touch, adding another layer of deliciousness to this dessert. Qingcheng was so happy that she squinted her eyes, while the others watching felt a chill.
You're eating, so why are you squinting? Anyone who knows you're eating will think you're... cough cough.
The others followed Qingcheng's example and picked up chopsticks. These people were indeed immortals; they had mastered the art of using chopsticks perfectly on their first try, and their hands did not tremble at all when picking up lotus root slices.
The Spring Dew Sect Master chuckled coldly as he looked at the pink lotus root slices. The more beautiful they are, the more poisonous they are. Eating this stuff will inevitably create karma, and then he won't be without a legitimate reason to take action! To find a pretext for me to eat this kind of thing, I'll have to be ruthless when I strike!
Hmm? This sweet but not cloying taste seems pretty good?
The moment the lotus root slices entered his mouth, the Spring Dew Sect Master was surprised. He had thought that even if the things in the lower realm were edible, their taste would be very limited. But after taking a bite, he found that this was not the case at all. The soft, sweet and fragrant taste left him with an unforgettable feeling!
Huh? Why is there an extra piece on my chopsticks? Since there's an extra one, I'll just eat it; wasting food is shameful.
Huh? Why is there another piece on my chopsticks? Who put it on my chopsticks? Oh well, wasting food is shameful.
Huh? How come there's another piece on my chopsticks...?
Huh? Why is the plate empty?
This infuriated him; how dare someone steal his things?!
The furious Chunlu Sect Master looked up and found that only Qingcheng's plate still had a small pile of lotus root slices; everyone else's plates were empty, and they were looking around like her.
They exchanged a glance, both seemingly a little embarrassed, their fair and smooth faces flushed with a blush like the evening glow.
The Spring Dew Sect Master coughed lightly and said, "Wushuang, did any of you have any problems eating just now? Did anyone find it unpalatable, or did anyone feel unwell after eating?"
After exchanging glances, Li Wushuang and the others spoke first: "Senior sister, let me go first. Maybe it's because I really like sweets, but I think it suits my taste perfectly, and I didn't feel any discomfort after eating it."
Lotus Immortal gave a wry smile and said, "Aside from feeling like I'm being eaten, I don't have any other feelings. The taste is indeed undeniably good, and there's no point in trying to say it's not delicious."
The others echoed this sentiment, indicating that none of them felt any discomfort.
The Spring Dew Sect Master nodded and said, "Our Myriad Flowers Sect has always had a sweet tooth, so we really can't say anything about the desserts. I heard from Qingcheng that there will be various other dishes later on, so let's talk about it after the dishes are served."
Qingcheng didn't say anything; she was still diligently eating. Seeing how much she enjoyed it, even the Spring Dew Sect Master couldn't help but swallow.
What does this lotus root taste like again? It looks delicious to my beloved disciple, should I try some more?
Just as Qingcheng finished eating one piece and was about to pick up another, she saw a pair of chopsticks appear on her plate.
The city was shocked. A thief in broad daylight?! This was outrageous!
Looking at the chopsticks, she saw her master say calmly, "My dear Qingcheng, you are eating so slowly, it must not be to your liking. I can't bear to see you suffer, so I'm sharing the burden for you."
No, Master, I ate slowly because I enjoyed it so much! You don't need to share my burden; let me bear it all by myself!
Qingcheng really wanted to say these words, but with so many people around, she had to save face for her master.
"Yes... Master is so good to his disciple."
Despite saying that, Qingcheng's face was full of grievance, as aggrieved as a 200-pound child.
The Spring Dew Sect Master nodded in satisfaction, then asked seemingly casually, "My beloved disciple, how much did you eat to get to this state? And why aren't you digesting it quickly?"
Forehead……
Qingcheng thought about how she had been eating and drinking in the cave and felt it was not easy to explain to her master. As for how many dishes, she said there must have been at least 10 or more.
“Master, I am prone to weight gain, and this eating method cannot be eliminated by magic. I can only digest food through my own basic digestive function. Without the support of magic, our digestion speed is the same as that of ordinary people, so this is the only way.”
While Qingcheng was explaining, she noticed that there was another pair of chopsticks on her plate!
Looking in that direction, he was surprised to see his own martial uncle, Li Wushuang.
Li Wushuang, caught red-handed, didn't realize it at all. Instead, she smiled and said, "Qingcheng, since you don't want to eat, your uncle is willing to share the burden for you."
Qingcheng was furious. In the past, she was always the one eating from her apprentices, but today she was the youngest. Only her apprentices could probably understand this grievance!
...
Ye Feng didn't know what happened in the private room of the Myriad Flowers Sect. Although the other party had set up a barrier, Ye Feng really had no intention of eavesdropping. As for why he knew there was a barrier, don't ask. He just knew everything that happened here.
Ye Feng is currently preparing the last two desserts.
Since the main focus is on the digestion of lotus root, the second and third dishes also primarily use lotus root as their main ingredient.
If all lotus root is made sweet, it will inevitably become cloying, so he did not make desserts for the last two dishes, but instead chose fried lotus root and nourishing autumn lotus root juice.
