Chen Huaian's heart moved and he nodded.

[Emperor of the Southern Dynasty: Chu Zhao, 32 years old]

[Biography: He was the second son of Emperor Ling. In 267 of the Southern Dynasty, Emperor Ling passed away and bestowed the title of Grand Emperor Chu Xun. The Second Emperor Chu Zhao and his aide Ling Xiao Dao Ren launched a coup. They first joined forces with the Xiongnu in the north to invade and force the First Emperor Chu Xun to transfer the two generals who protected the country around him - Li Zhennan and Wang Qingyue. Then they killed the First Emperor Chu Xun and the monks who guarded Chu Xun and successfully ascended the throne and became emperor.

The national defense generals Li Zhennan and Wang Qingyue were killed by assassins sent by Taoist Lingxiao and died on the battlefield.

At the same time, more than 100,000 soldiers from the Southern Dynasty died.

After Chu Zhao ascended the throne, he was not welcomed by his ministers, so he started killing people indiscriminately. Those who obeyed him prospered, while those who resisted him perished.

After the Xiongnu retreated, Chu Zhao took the credit for himself in order to calm the people's anger and stabilize the throne.

[Related characters: Ling Xiao Taoist]

[Original name: Li Lixiao, age: 134 years old, identity: Imperial Master of the Southern Dynasty (formerly Imperial Master of the Xiongnu)]

[Life: When he entered the Southern Dynasty, he was only a cultivator who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Linking. Later, he became an aide to Chu Zhao and helped Chu Zhao launch a coup. After Chu Zhao became emperor, Li Lixiao's cultivation level improved rapidly, and he entered the Infant Realm in less than ten years.]

In addition to the above, there are many other less important information.

For example, Chu Zhao and Ling Xiao Taoist's personality traits, their style of doing things, and the absurd things they did - basically, they were all related to the suffering of the Southern Dynasty.

Chu Zhao was an outright tyrant.

He required the palace maids to remain naked in the palace so that he and his ministers could enjoy themselves at any time.

When eating, the concubine must be in his arms and fed mouth to mouth. The wine must be drunk from the beauty's mouth. The palace maid who was responsible for making the wine glasses was given the name - Beauty Pot.

The above is just the tip of the iceberg of Emperor Chu Zhao’s assholery.

There are too many things that raise blood pressure and are worse than those done by beasts. Chen Huaian doesn't want to watch them anymore.

It made me sick.

"Sir, Miss, I have prepared the meal, come and eat together."

Liu Cui'e's voice was heard in the room.

Chen Huaian suppressed his anger and walked into the room, and saw Li Qingran and Liu Cui'e already sitting at the table.

A shabby little round table, made from a section of a tree trunk, was laid out with simple side dishes - mushroom and egg soup, and a plate of boiled wild vegetables, both without a speck of oil. The staple food was two bowls of rice porridge, the number of grains of rice in it could be counted at a glance.

"Cui'e, do you usually...eat these?"

Li Qingran looked at the dishes on the table, feeling a sudden pang of sadness in his heart.

"Miss, you're joking. Cui'e doesn't usually dare to eat like this..." Liu Cui'e smiled bitterly, her eyes unconsciously drifting to the vegetables on the table. Her Adam's apple rolled and she quietly swallowed her saliva: "If I can dig wild vegetables, I eat boiled wild vegetables. If I can't dig them, I eat some rice porridge. A bowl of rice porridge has five grains of rice. I'm satisfied with just a little rice flavor."

Liu Cui'e's fingers were clearly jointed, and her small hands were covered with cuts and frostbite marks - those were the marks left by her growing up in the mountains digging wild vegetables. Her skinny face was deeply sunken, her cheekbones were high, and she was so thin that she looked like she could be blown down by a gust of wind.

It can be seen that there is nothing to eat normally.

Speaking of the cause... If the cause could be found, there wouldn't be so many beggars and starving bodies on the streets of the town.

Although the Southern Dynasty was not in a state of desolation at this moment, the people were living in a situation worse than that.

Chen Huaian did not ask Liu Cui'e how she would survive if all the rice in the rice jar was eaten and there was no more wild vegetables to dig.

That must be a heartbreaking answer.

"Sir, Miss, Cui'e knows that you don't like these foods." Seeing that Chen Huaian and Li Qingran didn't move their chopsticks, Liu Cui'e's eyes were red and her voice was choked with sobs: "But this is all Cui'e can give. Apart from these, Cui'e doesn't know how to repay your kindness."

She didn't say that she wanted to work like a slave for Chen Huaian and Li Qingran.

Because in a country like the Southern Dynasty, being able to work like a slave for high-ranking officials is not called repaying a favor, that is called climbing up the social ladder.

Li Qingran didn't say anything, but picked up the rice porridge and ate it with the egg drop soup.

The wild vegetables were bitter and difficult to swallow, and the unprocessed eggs had a fishy smell.

As she ate, tears began to flow.

She recalled the days of despair when she curled up in a broken hut and waited for death after being expelled from the Qingyun Sect.

If the master had not appeared in time, her fate might not have been much better than Liu Cui'e's.

When Liu Cui'e saw that Li Qingran and Chen Huaian were willing to eat the food she cooked, a faint smile appeared on her cracked lips.

But when he saw Li Qingran crying again, he couldn't help but panic: "Miss, you...why are you crying again? But Cui'e's cooking is not to your taste?"

"No." Li Qingran wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and forced a smile: "Cui'e's cooking is delicious. I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time. And it tastes like my hometown... I just thought about the past, and suddenly I felt a little sad."

Chen Huaian ate very quickly and finished his portion in just a few bites.

There was no sign of leaving Liu Cui'e any room at all.

Looking at Liu Cui'e's expectant yet anxious eyes, he had basically made up his mind.

He let out a sigh, put down the wooden spoon, and said gently: "Cui'e, this little bit of food is not enough for us to eat. Look, you didn't even get any. In this way, Qingran and I are not full."

When Liu Cui'e heard this, her pretty face turned red and she lowered her head, not knowing what to do.

Chen Huaian narrowed his eyes and continued, "How about this, we also brought some food, why don't you eat with us."

"Madam, this, this is so embarrassing..." Liu Cui'e was at a loss, but she didn't know how to solve the problem of Miss Gong not having enough to eat.

"Don't be embarrassed, let's eat together!" Chen Huaian didn't say much and directly took out some food from the storage bag.

These foods are not from the Cangyun Realm, but from modern times.

There are all kinds of them, which are his backup energy when he is greedy.

When Liu Cui'e saw something appear out of thin air, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, but she was soon shocked by the scene before her—snow-white rice grains poured out like pearls, piling up into a small hill in the white porcelain bowl.

Then there were all kinds of delicious food she had never seen before:

The braised beef has an attractive red glow, the boiled chicken is tender, the steamed egg custard is smooth and tender, there are steaming meat, and a variety of exquisite pastries.

Finally, Chen Huaian took out a pot of warm sweet soup, and the rich aroma instantly filled the entire cabin.

Liu Cui'e stood there in a daze, wiping her hands on her clothes helplessly, her lips trembling and unable to speak.

The aroma of these foods was like heaven to her, but she couldn't believe it was real.

"This... this..." She shed tears in big drops, "Miss, Sir, this is too expensive, Cui'e can't afford it!"

"Cui'e, come and eat with us. We can't let you watch us eat, can we? That would be disgraceful." Li Qingran stroked Liu Cui'e's hand and said gently, "My master and I can't eat that much. If you don't help us deal with some, wouldn't it be a waste?"

Liu Cui'e was not stupid, she knew that Chen Huaian and Li Qingran did this on purpose.

But she couldn't accept the food being wasted.

"It was clearly agreed that I would repay the young lady's kindness..." Liu Cui'e sobbed and reached for the piece of braised beef with trembling hands. As soon as she took a bite, the delicious taste made her eyes widen.

She had never eaten such delicious food in her life, and the feeling of satisfaction spread from the tip of her tongue to the bottom of her heart.

When she went there before, her mother brought back a piece of pork and fried a small dish of it. It was the most delicious thing she had ever eaten in her life.

She thought she would never eat anything more delicious.

But it wasn't until that day that she realized how shallow her own cognition was...

"It's delicious... Really delicious..." She cried as she ate, swallowing her tears along with the food. "Thank you, sir, thank you, miss... Cui'e never thought I could eat such delicious food." She ate very slowly, savoring every bite, as if she wanted to remember this beauty forever in her heart.

Chen Huaian thought about it and felt it was about right.

He just calculated that Liu Cui'e didn't like anyone.

Then she already meets the requirements.

So he asked, "Liu Cui'e, have you ever thought about cultivating immortality?"

"Cultivate...cultivate immortality?" Liu Cui'e stared at Chen Huaian blankly.

Her little brain couldn't connect everything in front of her with the sudden word "cultivation".

"That's right, Xiuxian."

Chen Huaian said sincerely: "I think you have good talent. I plan to let you become my disciple, so that you don't have to live such a hard life in the future."

There is nothing to say about Liu Cui'e's character.

땤Zhang Mengchu is not bad looking either,놙but she doesn't use the anti-aging pills just for the sake of her dignity.

Even if he doesn't use it, he's still a serious handsome old man.

He believed that as long as Zhang Mengchu had the idea, it would only be a matter of time before she had something to do with Liu Cui'e.

I have a headache today, so I write slowly. I will post the next chapter later.
