Welcome
Xu Ya and Shi Yuzhen couldn't communicate on the same wavelength at all, so the misunderstanding about being Daoist partners had to be dropped.
The system kept urging Xu Ya to keep feeding Yu Zhen fried chicken, and Xu Ya had no choice but to comply in order to go home.
Shi Yuzhen still kept in mind helping Xu Ya improve her physique, and gradually, Xu Ya's physical condition changed from before.
Having spent so many years in the world of cultivation, this was the first time Xu Ya had truly learned the proper cultivation techniques of Yunmeng Immortal Marsh.
Xu Ya was interested in everything, like a beginner cultivator, and Shi Yuzhen was unusually patient. If any cultivator from Yunmeng Immortal Marsh saw them, they would be stunned.
As Xu Ya advanced her cultivation to the Qi Refining stage, the fried chicken she made also gained new effects along with her own advancement, exactly as the golden finger had described.
During this period, Shi Yuzhen underwent two rounds of cultivation advancement, and now Shi Yuzhen is a highly sought-after Nascent Soul stage cultivator in Yunmeng Immortal Marsh.
It is said that the celestial phenomena on the day Shi Yuzhen advanced to the next level were very similar to those when Xu Ducang advanced to the Nascent Soul stage in his later years.
Since Shi Yuzhen was ambushed by Master Xu during her last promotion, these two promotions have only taken a few years. Such talent has caused the cultivators to marvel and discuss whether it is closely related to the fried chicken in Aya's Fried Chicken Shop.
They had long realized that Xu Ya's physique was already among that of a cultivator, and as Xu Ya's cultivation level advanced, the effects of the fried chicken did indeed show a significant improvement.
However, Aya's Fried Chicken Shop did not raise prices despite its superior efficacy, which led to various factions becoming aware of this fried chicken shop located in Yunmeng Immortal Village.
Many cultivators flocked to Aya Fried Chicken Shop's delivery model, placing a message board at the shop entrance. This not only boosted business but also facilitated the circulation of message-taking services among low-level cultivators, and even spread to other cultivation sites.
In addition, there are rumors that Shi Yuzhen, a Nascent Soul cultivator who is rumored to be no more than thirty years old, has an ambiguous relationship with the owner of Aya Fried Chicken Shop.
In no time, Aya's Fried Chicken Shop became a household name and a sensation in the cultivation world.
Xu Ya was extremely distressed. With Shi Yuzhen's advancement, the victory horn of returning home was just around the corner, which should have been a happy thing. However, recently, the cultivators who came to buy fried chicken always teased her by calling her "Senior Sister".
You should know that she was once the lowest-ranking mortal in Yunmeng Immortal Marsh, so how could they be worthy of calling her senior sister?
The book describes Shi Yuzhen, as the male protagonist, as incredibly popular and overpowered more than once. Isn't it putting her on the spot by having everyone call her "senior sister"? It's becoming increasingly difficult to look at the lawless Shi Yuzhen the same way.
But this is really a miscarriage of justice for the male protagonist.
In fact, ever since Shi Yuzhen told An Jiaze that she and Xu Ya were Daoist partners, An Jiaze had not left his cave for six months to three years. He also resigned from the official duties of solving cases assigned to him by Xianze, and did not ask his fellow cultivators from the Danxiu Sect to bring Xu Ya's fried chicken back for him.
Such an unusual occurrence inevitably attracts idle and sour cultivators who go around inquiring about it. After all, An Jiaze had already broken through to the Golden Core stage, and if it weren't for his extraordinary talent like Shi Yuzhen, he would have no chance of advancing again in the near future.
It would have been better if they hadn't tried to find out; once they did, it just kept going on and on.
An anonymous monk claimed that An Jiaze had visited Aya's fried chicken shop several times before going into seclusion, but the owner, Xu Ya, always avoided him.
This is quite subtle.
During that period, Shi Yuzhen was also inseparable from Xu Ya of Aya Fried Chicken Shop.
So, does that mean An Jiaze is facing off against Shi Yuzhen again?
The cultivator, who wished to remain anonymous, coughed mysteriously twice and announced an even more bombshell: Xu Ya and Shi Yuzhen are actually Daoist partners! She has already declared her ownership to An Jiaze! That's why An Jiaze has been listless and hiding in his cave ever since! Alright, this news is for the reader to understand, not to be spread.
The cultivators were shocked, wondering if Xu Ya had put something in the fried chicken. How could it be so appealing? Why had two young, powerful cultivators from Yunmeng Immortal Marsh fought over it multiple times?
What is this, a succubus?
Many cultivators personally chose a time when Shi Yuzhen was not in the shop to come to Aya's Fried Chicken Shop to observe Xu Ya.
Perhaps the rumors were too vivid, causing the cultivators to suddenly feel that Xu Ya also exuded the aura of a powerful figure, and they immediately became respectful.
It's unclear who started it, but one or two cultivators who were supposedly much stronger than Xu Ya were all calling her "Senior Sister."
Xu Ya was so annoyed that she kept rubbing her forehead.
Ah Xi hadn't smiled for years, and even Xu Ya couldn't fathom what was on her mind. When she heard them making fun of her, she didn't want to give them a kind look and almost got into a fight with them, nearly receiving complaints from the cultivators.
"Senior Sister, there's also an Ayajia Fried Chicken shop on the east side. What's your relationship with them? Are you related? I heard that fried chicken shop is doing quite well." A cultivator struck up a conversation with Xu Ya when there were few people in front of the shop.
Xu Ya was too lazy to correct his way of addressing her, as it was pointless, but noticing the strange name, she couldn't help but ask, "What?"
The monk said, "Aya Jia, it's just that the character 'Ya' in your shop is split into two characters. When I first saw it from afar and couldn't see the sign clearly, I thought it was a branch of your shop, Senior Sister!"
Fried chicken isn't exclusive to Xu Ya; in fact, fried chicken is a recipe that even Shi Xiu would abandon, naturally due to the cost-effectiveness of the ingredients.
Perhaps because of the success of Aya's fried chicken shop, Xu Ya wasn't surprised that other cultivators visited. After all, it wasn't her own business. However... this "knock-off" shop was a bit too funny!
Aya Jia? Who created this? If I hadn't repeatedly confirmed with the system that I was the only one who had transmigrated into this novel...
Xu Ya was starting to suspect that this was a victim's family reunion segment. How was this any different from Mixue's knock-off store, Mixue City?
Xu Ya smiled and explained that it was probably opened by a cultivator she didn't know, and didn't take it to heart.
After a few days of peace, different monks reported that another Ayajia Fried Chicken shop had opened in the west.
Xu Ya still didn't take it to heart, but Shi Yuzhen looked very bothered when she heard about it, and even suggested to Xu Ya that they go out together to investigate the matter.
Xu Ya already knew that Shi Yuzhen was just using this opportunity to be alone with her, so she didn't say anything.
She was worried about the shop and also about Ah-Xi.
Another thing is that the system suddenly and unusually reported the progress a few days ago.
[Host, the male protagonist has achieved 98% of his goal of becoming the number one cultivator in the world! Please keep up the good work!]
98%! So that means her wish to go home will soon come true?!
Looking at the percentage that signifies the dawn of victory, Xu Ya was filled with emotion.
After all these years of enduring the rumors of being a "eunuch," she has diligently served the male lead, and now she can finally achieve her goal?
In order to successfully complete the mission, Xu Ya decided to stay in the shop to protect the male lead and prevent any uncontrollable crisis from occurring.
Now that Shi Yuzhen is a Nascent Soul cultivator, it means that he will have another major advancement soon. Xu Ya thinks it's best not to go out.
Xu Ya's unusually excited mood could not be hidden from Shi Yuzhen.
Shi Yuzhen's cultivation has greatly increased over the years, and he has become more aware of everything in the outside world. More importantly, he spends almost all his time, except for cultivating, observing Xu Ya.
Even the slightest change in Xu Ya was significant and surprising to Shi Yuzhen. Although Zhan Zhengzhen always reminded him that it was impolite, he couldn't help but try to find out more about Xu Ya.
But this time he seemed to sense a different emotion. His strong sixth sense told him that Xu Ya was going to leave without saying goodbye.
Everything remained the same as before.
This thought kept swirling in Shi Yuzhen's mind, to the point that she couldn't even concentrate on her cultivation.
So Shi Yuzhen gave up cultivating immortality and kept an eye on Xu Ya almost all the time.
Xu Ya panicked when she saw his state. If Shi Yuzhen didn't cultivate, it wouldn't work either. If he didn't cultivate, it would mean that his progress would remain at 98% and there would be no progress at all.
Xu Ya brought a box of freshly fried chicken to Shi Yuzhen's residence to boost morale.
Shi Yuzhen looked at Xu Ya's smiling, chubby face, patted her head, and pulled her to her side.
Xu Ya was not used to being close to him, but Shi Yuzhen didn't care. Xu Ya was already the Daoist partner he had chosen, and that would not change.
Shi Yuzhen was willing to tolerate Xu Ya's little tricks, as long as she was still by his side.
But that absurd idea kept flashing through his mind, disturbing his thoughts.
He suddenly touched the back of Xu Ya's head, lowered his body, and pressed his thin lips closer and closer until they met.
No longer a half-hearted attempt, his aura was like a torrential downpour, intense and powerful.
The long-awaited intimacy made Xu Ya subconsciously put her hand in front of his chest, but Shi Yuzhen quickly blocked it and pulled her into his arms again, with Xu Ya's chest pressed tightly against him.
Xu Ya struggled to breathe and, unable to withstand the raging storm, finally let out soft sobs.
Shi Yuzhen abruptly pulled away from Xu Ya's lips and gazed deeply at her.
"Senior Brother...you," Xu Ya blushed, lowering her eyes, not daring to look into his burning gaze, "What are you doing..."
"Sister...no, resist me..." After saying that, Shi Yuzhen cupped Xu Ya's flushed face and pressed down on her again.
Such a title was even more shameful. Shi Yuzhen always used words that Xu Ya found hard to accept, perhaps to mock her reaction when she heard them. Xu Ya turned her face away, and Shi Yuzhen pressed her neck against hers.
Damn it... I don't cultivate... and I still have to do these things...!
Firelight, explosion.
A massive explosion suddenly occurred in Yunmeng Fairy Village.
Xu Ya glanced at the mushroom cloud that she had only ever seen in modern times, and it rose into the sky behind her.
Xu Ya, with a strength she didn't know she possessed, shoved Shi Yuzhen, who was far weaker than her, away.
He turned around and looked towards the firelight.
A sense of crisis washed over Xu Ya as she looked around and realized that the location seemed to be a fried chicken shop!
For the first time, he abandoned Shi Yuzhen and ran down the mountain without looking back.
Shi Yuzhen suddenly felt a pang of panic. He saw Xu Ya's body moving further and further away beyond his control, just as he had predicted.
Shi Yuzhen suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest, as if a surge of powerful true energy was crashing into her dantian. Even as a Nascent Soul cultivator, Shi Yuzhen was overwhelmed and collapsed to her knees, clutching her chest. A tingling sensation spread throughout her body...
"Don't go..."
