This is the fourth dish.
The captivating, magnetic voice entered their ears like a bewitching spell.
"What?! You mean there's more to come?!"
"What?! You haven't even finished eating?"
"I feel like I could throw up at any moment, how could I possibly eat anything?"
Qingcheng said, "Isn't it on the menu? The fourth dish is lotus root and beef dumplings, and the fifth dish is seaweed soup."
Lotus Immortal said with a wry smile, "I was so busy finding fault that I didn't have time to look at what was on the menu. Anyway, I had nowhere else to eat, so let whoever wants to eat it eat it."
After saying that, she couldn't help but lick her lips with her pink tongue to savor the taste: "But I have to say, these lotus root and beef dumplings are really delicious. They truly deserve to be the grand finale dish. Even now, I can still feel the freshness in my mouth."
Peach Blossom Immortal echoed from the side, "That's right, that's right. Those dumplings were such a pleasant surprise. And it wasn't just the juice that was amazing; the meat filling was also a wonderful surprise. We haven't eaten anything like this in so many years, and we didn't feel greasy at all after eating so much meat."
Qingcheng boasted, "I estimate the meat ratio to be 0.618 to 0.372. This ratio is known as the 'Immortal Gold Ratio.' Not only for dumplings, but if a person's upper and lower body ratio is 0.618 to 0.372, then that person's figure will look very good. In terms of texture, the beef he ground was very tender. Not only were the tendons and membranes removed, but the beef was also given a lot of chewiness. And the lotus root was cut into small pieces. This gives the meat filling a slight crunch, but it won't overpower the overall taste of the dumpling."
"Cough..."
Lotus Immortal let out a burp and teased, "Oh, look at how familiar you are with everything! You still dare to say there's nothing between you two?"
Qingcheng retorted angrily, "Senior sister, don't talk nonsense. I just have a special fondness for this food. You can't say I like that person just because I like this food. By that logic, if I particularly like a weapon, wouldn't I have to marry the blacksmith?"
After finally catching his breath, the Spring Dew Sect Master listened to his disciples' idle chatter and said angrily, "Have you forgotten why we came here? We're here to cause trouble, to settle our karmic debts so we can take action! Did you come here for a vacation? Tell me your feelings, is there anything we can do to settle our karmic debts?"
Qingcheng was the first to raise her hand and said, "Master, please forgive me. I am dull-witted. I did not feel any discomfort after eating these dishes. On the contrary, I felt that my skin and complexion were better. This seems to be a good cause. I cannot make things difficult for him by causing bad results. Please forgive my incompetence, Master."
The Spring Dew Sect Master glared at her irritably, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to scold her. Instead, he turned his gaze to Lotus Immortal Lord.
Lotus Immortal Lord also said helplessly, "Master, I don't feel anything bad. If this fat body can be considered as such, then it is, but it is all stored in energy, and there is no accumulation of elixir poison. I really can't form any karmic connection with it."
Peach Blossom Immortal Lord continued, "Master Uncle, I am incompetent and have not formed any karma. On the contrary, I feel that I owe him some karma. It seems that after I crossed realms, I was slightly invaded by a strange energy, which was then purified by the effects of this delicacy."
The Spring Dew Sect Master scanned the faces of all his disciples, and without exception, the answer he received was that no karmic connection had been formed. So he turned his hopeful gaze to Li Wushuang.
Li Wushuang blushed slightly on her chubby face and said, "Senior sister, I'm incompetent. Not only did I fail to create any bad karma, but I also incurred some minor karmic debts in his name..."
The Spring Dew Sect Master helplessly covered his face with his hand: "Are we just going to slaughter our Myriad Flowers Sect like this? If we try to negotiate like this, won't we just be left with nothing but a greedy beast?"
Qingcheng's eyes darted around as she said, "Master, do you think it's possible that the ingredients he used this time are all beneficial to us? If we stay longer and eat here more often, will we end up eating dishes that are detrimental to us?"
"Um?"
Upon hearing Qingcheng's suggestion, Peach Blossom Immortal Lord, Lotus Immortal Lord, and the other disciples all lit up. Wasn't Qingcheng Junior Sister's idea a good one?
After all, no one can guarantee that everything they produce will be of the highest quality, right? Even the most skilled alchemist has times when their furnace explodes and they produce rotten pills. Why should he be an exception?
The Spring Dew Sect Master rolled his eyes and said, "I now seriously doubt whether you really think that way, or if you just want to eat a few more meals."
Upon hearing this, Qingcheng immediately cried out in protest: "Master, you can't wrong Haoxian! This disciple is only thinking of the sect and you, Master. How can you say such a thing about me?"
Lotus Immortal Lord chimed in, "Yes, Master. Junior Sister has always protected the interests of the sect and always considered your needs. I think what she said was her true thought."
The Spring Dew Sect Master ignored the two of them and turned to Li Wushuang, saying, "Junior Sister Wushuang, what do you think of this matter?"
Li Wushuang pondered for a moment and said, "Although I also suspect that she said those words in order to have more meals, what she said does make sense. I can't think of any other way to form a karmic bond with him besides this method."
The Spring Dew Sect Master couldn't help but complain, "These chosen ones are such a hassle. You can't hit them or scold them. What's even more infuriating is that the Heavenly Dao avatar of this world is a big mouth. He even threatened me to go to the Immortal Realm to report to the Heavenly Dao. Otherwise, why would I take a mere lower realm Heavenly Dao seriously?"
As they were talking, the door to the private room was pushed open again.
Li Wushuang discreetly withdrew his magic array, and Ning Shuang walked in carrying a plate without sensing anything amiss.
After Ning Shuang left, the people in the private room looked at each other in bewilderment.
"This...who could possibly eat this?"
"I'm too tired to eat anymore, but I'm feeling a bit thirsty. The dumpling filling might be a little too salty."
"When eating meat, it must be a little salty to bring out the best flavor of the meat."
In the end, it was Qingcheng, who wasn't too full, who lifted the lid of the plate. Seeing the few bowls of soup on the plate, the others breathed a sigh of relief.
"I can still fit more soup in my mouth, since soup doesn't take up much space."
"A little soup to smooth things over is no problem."
Qingcheng looked at her senior sisters speechlessly and complained, "Didn't you say you had long forgotten your memories before coming up the mountain? Did eating this meal help you remember them?"
