"Ah, this..."
This guy truly lives up to his reputation as the supreme king in the book "The Chosen One." He actually encountered something deadly and was incredibly lucky to barely escape with his life!
"We can't let him have it so easy anymore, host. You have to step up your game and make him experience the hardships of life!"
The system inside Xie Zhou's head was so angry it started clapping its hands. It clapped its hands for every sentence it said, making Xie Zhou's head ache.
"Alright, alright, just shut up! This is the chosen one, what can I do?"
Xie Zhou rolled his eyes again.
"Alright, alright, although we've achieved some results, don't get too excited yet. You're still far from being a top expert, and you'll definitely face hardships in the future."
Xie Zhou smiled and patted Luo Fantian on the shoulder.
"Xie Zhou, although you're not exactly handsome, you're a really good person... You even told me not to be arrogant... You're practically my life mentor! My idol..."
For some reason, Luo Fantian looked at Xie Zhou with eyes that seemed to be sparkling.
"Ah, this..."
Xie Zhou had no idea how many times he had been speechless today.
She clearly wanted to do something bad to undermine Luo Fantian's confidence.
"Don't worry, I know everything."
Luo Fantian's grateful gaze made Xie Zhou feel a little flustered.
"Oh right, it's already late, you haven't eaten anything yet! I hid something for you! I'll give it to you now!"
Luo Fantian smiled broadly; with his spider legs, he could walk much faster now.
This whole process took only a dozen or so blinks.
"Wow, not bad, kid."
Luo Fantian was carrying a vegetable basket, which was filled with almost all kinds of delicious food.
"This is sweet and sour pork ribs, Kung Pao chicken, and steamed dumplings and buns. If you want to eat something, there's nothing I can't get!"
Luo Fantian pushed the entire basket of delicious food to Xie Zhou.
"Oh my god! My favorite Kung Pao Chicken! They actually have Kung Pao Chicken here! Waaaaah... I even had it in my dream last time..."
Xie Zhou quickly picked up his chopsticks. Steamed buns with Kung Pao chicken—this was truly a delicious meal!
"Um... I don't think they serve Kung Pao Chicken here?"
Xie Zhou ate while chatting with Luo Fantian.
"No, no, but that's no big deal. With my good connections, I helped the fairy in the kitchen with a few small favors today, running errands and such, and look, I got my food."
Luo Fantian looked proud.
"I'm fine, I don't get hungry while cultivating, but I was thinking about you. Your cultivation level is low, and if you don't eat, your body might not be able to handle it. Consider this my way of thanking you!"
Luo Fantian smiled and glanced at Xie Zhou.
Xie Zhou felt increasingly uneasy as he ate... Was he being looked down upon for his cultivation level?
However, Luo Fantian should not be that kind of person.
"Don't worry, I will work hard to cultivate in the future and become very powerful! But at that time, I will still taste all the delicacies in the world. That is one of the great things in life."
"Haha, only you would say that. Let me tell you a secret, last time Senior Brother ate a steamed dumpling, and the First Elder scolded him for half a day."
Xie Zhou stared wide-eyed at Luo Fantian in disbelief.
"My God, does that mean the higher a person's cultivation level, the less they eat?"
Xie Zhou could hardly believe his ears.
"Wanting to eat is desire, wanting money is desire, wanting love is desire. The Immortal Venerable once said that if you want to pursue supreme power, you must be free from desires and wants. Therefore, you must not even think about these things."
Luo Fantian shook his head, glanced at the steamed bun in Xie Zhou's hand, and swallowed.
"Tch, what kind of bullshit is this? If you could become a god just by relying on these things, then even if you did, you'd be a heartless and ruthless monster."
Xie Zhou frowned.
"Here, there's another one. I'll share it with you. Your cultivation level isn't very high yet, so eat some quickly, or you won't be able to eat it later."
Xie Zhou smiled and stuffed a diced chicken into Luo Fantian's mouth.
The savory and fragrant diced chicken tantalized Luo Fantian's taste buds.
"My goodness...delicious! No wonder you like Kung Pao Chicken!"
Luo Fantian savored the small piece of chicken in his mouth.
"What they're saying is all nonsense. Why does cultivating immortality have to lead to becoming a god? We can also live like gods. With great power comes great responsibility."
Xie Zhou talked as he ate.
"What you said makes some sense."
Luo Fantian swallowed again, a sight that made Xie Zhou chuckle.
"Try a few bites. If you can't have it, you'll want to eat more and more. That's desire, and having desires is not good."
This time, Xie Zhou directly stuffed the steamed bun and chopsticks into Luo Fantian's hands.
"Eat quickly, eat quickly."
Xie Zhou smiled.
"Then...then I won't stand on ceremony!"
Luo Fantian finally stopped resisting and started taking big bites of his food.
"Hahaha, that's more like it!"
Xie Zhou was very happy, and Luo Fantian was also very happy.
"Where did the Immortal Venerable go?"
Luo Fantian scratched his head. Logically speaking, the Immortal Venerable should be resting in the Frost Palace at this time.
"I don't know. He just told me to study hard and then disappeared."
Xie Zhou was somewhat confused.
"Alright then, hurry up and eat. I need to take my things back after I finish eating, otherwise, if the Immortal Venerable finds out, I'll be punished."
Luo Fantian frowned, glanced around, and found nothing unusual.
"Okay, I'll be full soon."
Xie Zhou smiled, ate two more bites of food, stuffed the last bit of steamed bun into his mouth, and then put down his chopsticks with satisfaction.
"I'm off now, I'll come see you again when I have time!"
Luo Fantian bid farewell to Xie Zhou.
"Alright, thank you for the treat, senior brother!"
Xie Zhou also bid farewell to Luo Fantian.
"Alright, alright, it's time to go back and study hard, or we'll be in big trouble if we get caught."
After eating and drinking his fill, Xie Zhou was very satisfied and also wanted to thank Luo Fantian.
"Alright, alright, it's a long night, memorizing is still the most practical thing to do. Maybe by tomorrow morning, I'll have finished memorizing that book that's as big as a brick and as thick as a Xinhua dictionary?"
Xie Zhou was trying to think positively about things.
"That's impossible. With your memory, you probably wouldn't be able to memorize it even if you tried until next year."
The system's merciless mocking voice echoed in Xie Zhou's mind again.
"System! I'm going to name you King of Talk! You know nothing, yet you keep telling me what to do! You try reciting it if you dare!"
If the system had a physical form, it would have been beaten a hundred thousand times over by now.
Xie Zhou was furious.
