Chapter 14 Kneeling for Comfort
Ning Xuan looked at Chen Nan's humble appearance in front of her and felt for no reason that he was pretending. His every move seemed respectful and docile, strict and polite, but in fact, there was a feeling of rigidity and oppression. To put it bluntly, this kind of respect was not from his heart.
Ning Xuan walked in front, and Chen Nan deliberately lagged behind her by half a body length. The two of them soon arrived at a restaurant. This was a restaurant with a good reputation that Ning Xuan had searched for a long time before finding last night.
However, after the ordered signature dishes were served, Ning Xuan's face turned darker little by little. Judging from the appearance, the food was either burnt or dry and hard. Compared with the pictures on Starnet, it looked even harder to swallow.
Chen Nan was keenly aware of Ning Xuan's mood changes. He had originally planned to serve him while standing, but Ning Xuan insisted that he sit down. Why was she suddenly unhappy at this moment?
Chen Nan stood up, took out the tableware and set it aside. Seeing Ning Xuan frowning and staring at the plate of barbecue on the table, he quickly cut it into small pieces and placed them in front of Ning Xuan. "Master, although the meat of this wind and thunder beast is non-toxic, it is very tough. The cooking process of this family is pretty good. Would you like to try it?"
Ning Xuan looked at the black grilled meat, silently pushed the plate aside, opened the ordering screen on the table, and ordered a glass of crystal juice and a serving of three-color baked eggs. Although these two are not signature dishes, in Ning Xuan's opinion, the juice only needs to be squeezed, and baked eggs only need to be baked. It shouldn't be done in a mess, right?
After the three-color baked egg was served, Ning Xuan looked at the palm-sized baked egg with a browned shell and reached out to take it. However, Chen Nan had already stood up, picked up the baked egg and placed it in front of him, "Master, there is a mild toxin in the three-color egg that can cause nerve paralysis. It cannot be removed by roasting it with fire. Eating it is not good for your body. You have just awakened your mental power and will awaken your companion spirit within a year. To ensure the smooth awakening of your companion spirit, you cannot eat any poisonous food within this year!" A blush flashed across Chen Nan's face. He is an S-level spirit controller. If he lets the master eat poisonous food during this period of time, resulting in the inability to awaken his companion spirit, wouldn't he be committing a heinous crime?
I can't explain to the Contract Management Center either.
"Poisonous?" Ning Xuan asked doubtfully. Can poisonous food be sold?
"Yes, Master!" Chen Nan was puzzled. The three-colored eggs were laid by the long-tailed brocade bird. This kind of bird has strong vitality, large numbers, and high reproductive capacity. Therefore, the price of this kind of egg is not high. It is a common food for ordinary people and low-level spirit controllers. However, because the toxins cannot be completely removed, young children, underage spirit controllers, and those who have awakened their spiritual power for one year should avoid consuming this kind of poisonous food.
The master's major was cooking, how could she not know?
"What about this juice?" Ning Xuan asked, pointing at the sticky green juice that the robot waiter had just brought over.
"The juice squeezed from the crystal fruit is not poisonous!" It just doesn't taste good! Chen Nan thought so in his heart, but he didn't say the latter part. After all, everyone has different tastes, and he can't use his subjective feelings to interfere with the choice of the contract master.
After hearing what he said, Ning Xuan picked up the juice. She didn't smell any strange smell, but there was a faint sweet fragrance that entered her nose. Ning Xuan felt a little thirsty, so she took a sip. A bitter and astringent taste rushed straight to her forehead. Ning Xuan resisted the urge to spit it out, frowned and swallowed it. "Ugh", it was too unpalatable, even more unpalatable than the most unpalatable medicine I had ever drunk in my previous life. Which fruit juice drink tastes like this?
Ning Xuan pushed the glass of juice to Chen Nan and ordered, "Drink it!"
Chen Nan glanced at Ning Xuan reluctantly, picked up the juice, and drank it in one gulp. After finishing it, he quickly drank a large glass of water to wash away the unbearable smell in his mouth.
For this meal, Ning Xuan only ate a few pieces of dry short-tailed rabbit steak. Fortunately, this body had eaten too little in the past, so after eating a few pieces of steak, she was no longer hungry!
After dinner, Chen Nan followed Ning Xuan back to her residence. The originally empty living room was now filled with all kinds of things, including the red lantern fruit, purple bamboo wood, thorn fruit, hairy chestnuts that she had seen last night, the clothes that she had browsed and liked, and of course more exotic plants. Each one was priced at more than 1,000 star coins. The blue flame grass seemed to be priced at 30,000 star coins.
She also saw a black box in a corner against the wall. There was a raptor pattern on the box. It should contain the personal belongings that Chen Nan brought.
Ning Xuan looked at those exotic plants. She had originally planned to find ways to earn money to buy them, or find out where these exotic plants grew and go out to look for them. She didn't expect that they would be brought to her like this. To be honest, she was a little tempted.
"Let's talk about it! You must have investigated my situation a long time ago. You suddenly changed your mind. Do you want to get something from me? You might as well tell me directly!" Ning Xuan asked bluntly.
"Master, your mental power is increasing very quickly. I believe that you can grow into a high-level spirit controller. Therefore, I hope to do more for you when you still need help. In this way, I can get more pity from you in the future!" Chen Nan replied respectfully and gently.
"I'll give you a chance. Tell the truth!" Ning Xuan looked at him indifferently.
Chen Nan was silent for a moment, then he pointed two fingers to his forehead, and with a cry, a two-meter-tall bird of prey with golden feathers all over its body and green eyes emerged from Chen Nan's body and gradually condensed into a solid entity. This was Chen Nan's supernatural body, the blue-eyed golden eagle.
"Today, you were attacked and released some mental power. Xiao Jin longed for your mental power very much. It was poisoned and in great pain. Its pain was my pain. I tried every way but could not completely remove the toxin. Today, I felt your mental power and the pain in my spiritual sea tended to ease. As long as I stay by your side, the pain will ease. I think, if I can get your mental power to comfort me, the effect will be better. If your level is higher, you can even control and remove the toxins through mental comfort." Chen Nan originally wanted to wait until they had gotten along for a while and the master of the contract slowly accepted him before asking for comfort. However, since the master of the contract had asked, if he concealed it, wouldn't he have another accusation of being restless in the master's mind?
"The level gap between you and me is too big. I'm not sure whether my comfort will work on you. But one thing is certain, it's not good for the growth of my mental strength!" Ning Xuan knew that there is no such thing as pie in the sky.
Chen Nan immediately knelt down and said, "Please rest assured, Master, I can wait until you are eighteen years old. During this time, please allow me to stay by your side and take care of you!"
