Chapter 255: Are Bunnies So Delicious?

When the two spirit rabbits were nearly roasted.

A white-and-green figure flew on a sword from the mountainside, stopping outside the stone pavilion.

"Uncle Ye, did you need something from me?"

Bai Jiawei, who had just arrived, wore a look of confusion.

Her Uncle Ye had only granted her an audience once, back when she first joined.

After so much time, this was only the second time she had seen him.

Still, she was quite content with it.

Here, no one bothered her; she could cultivate freely and play freely.

Sixty years had passed, and Bai Jiawei had long since reached the Foundation Establishment realm.

Ye Qingxuan lightly turned the spirit rabbit in his hand, casting a casual glance at Bai Jiawei.

Bai Jiawei bore the title of attendant to the Qingxuan Blessed Land, but held no actual duties.

"What? Can't your uncle call on you without a reason?"

She was not like Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, who stayed daily at the foot of the peak, awaiting Ye Qingxuan's orders.

Aside from cultivation time, Bai Jiawei would sometimes visit her parents for a few days.

Even when visiting her parents.

Curiosity sparkled in Bai Jiawei's eyes as she stretched her neck toward the stone pavilion and asked.

Sometimes, she would travel to various parts of the Xuantian Mountain Range to enjoy the scenery.

After sixty years apart, Bai Jiawei had grown from the little girl she once was into a graceful young woman.

Due to restrictions on her status, Bai Jiawei was not permitted to enter many places within the Xuantian Sect.

Soon, Bai Jiawei's nose twitched as she inhaled deeply the fragrant scent drifting through the air, sighing in delight.

"Uncle, what are you roasting? It smells so good!"

Watching Ye Qingxuan's movements and the Daoist fire rising within the stone pavilion.

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

Most of the areas she visited were ordinary peaks, valleys, or lakes within the nearby Xuantian Mountain Range.

Still, her cultivation base was far too weak.

So she rarely had the chance to taste specially prepared spirit foods.

Bai Jiawei did not know that Ye Qingxuan was silently criticizing her cultivation in his mind.

Usually, when craving something, she would simply search the mountain range for spirit fruits to satisfy her hunger.

Fortunately, she was highly self-disciplined and had not neglected her cultivation, achieving a good balance between work and rest.

Over these sixty years.

She had grown quite lovely.

Since cultivators could use spiritual energy to sustain their bodies and achieve the effect of abstaining from grains.

Interactions among cultivators mostly involved offering spirit fruits, unlike mortals who would cook elaborate meals.

In all these years, this was the first time Bai Jiawei had smelled food so fragrant.

That was why, upon sensing the tempting aroma, she had taken the initiative to ask.

Hearing Bai Jiawei's words, Ye Qingxuan could not help but chuckle softly.

"I'm roasting meat. What? Want some?"

"Roasted meat? What kind of meat smells so good?"

Bai Jiawei's eyes instinctively filled with thought, then she looked curiously into the stone pavilion.

But under Ye Qingxuan's deliberate concealment with Daoist fire, Bai Jiawei could not clearly see what was being roasted.

As the scent in the air grew even stronger, Bai Jiawei could not help swallowing her saliva.

At that moment, Ye Qingxuan had already cut off a small piece of meat and placed it in his mouth to chew slowly.

As he chewed slowly, Ye Qingxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a look of delight spreading across his face.

"Mm, the taste is not bad."

Seeing the expression on Ye Qingxuan's face as he ate the roasted meat, Bai Jiawei became even more craving, then dropped her reserve and spoke.

"Uncle, what kind of roasted meat is this? I want some too!"

Hearing Bai Jiawei's words, Ye Qingxuan did not speak.

He extended a finger, sliced off a small piece of spirit rabbit meat with his spiritual power, and sent it floating through the air to before Bai Jiawei.

Gazing at the fragrant roasted meat, Bai Jiawei raised no doubts and immediately placed it in her mouth to chew and swallow, her eyes sparkling with praise.

"Uncle, what meat is this? It's so delicious!"

Watching Bai Jiawei eat with such relish, Ye Qingxuan suddenly grinned mischievously.

"This is spirit rabbit meat. How is it? Delicious, right?"

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, Bai Jiawei's expression changed instantly, and she stopped chewing mid-bite.

"This? This? This is spirit rabbit meat?"

Seeing Bai Jiawei's reaction, Ye Qingxuan thought she was frightened.

So he frowned, let out a cold snort, and continued to scare her.

"Hmph, you have three days."

"After three days, I do not want to see any more spirit rabbits on the peak, or I will eat every single one I find."

Without giving Bai Jiawei a chance to react.

He turned around and left the stone pavilion, returning to the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven.

Outside the stone pavilion, Bai Jiawei paid no attention to Ye Qingxuan's departing figure.

Feeling the explosive burst of flavor on her taste buds, Bai Jiawei slowly swallowed the remaining spirit rabbit meat in her mouth, her eyes becoming incredibly bright.

Walking into the stone pavilion, she looked at the spirit rabbit that had not yet been finished.

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Jiawei nervously glanced around.

Confirming no one was there, she tore off a rabbit leg and couldn't help but devour it greedily, unconsciously murmuring:

"So, bunnies can be this delicious!"

When she was young, she liked spirit rabbits, but it was simply because she loved their cute appearance.

It had not developed into that kind of extreme affection.

Otherwise, she would not have released the spirit rabbits into the mountain peaks when they reproduced too quickly and caring for them would affect her cultivation time.

Now, after eating the spirit rabbit meat roasted by Ye Qingxuan, Bai Jiawei felt as if she had discovered a new world.

Her love for spirit rabbits could be said to have reached a new level.

Looking at the spirit rabbits scattered all over the mountains, Bai Jiawei made a face toward the direction Ye Qingxuan had left:

"You wanted to eat my spirit rabbits, but I won't let you have them."

After speaking, Bai Jiawei packed up overnight and took all the spirit rabbits to the place where her parents lived to raise them in captivity.

She prepared to roast one daily and study the methods of raising spirit rabbits herself.

Three days later.

When Ye Qingxuan came out of the Qingxuan Blessed Land again and arrived at the stone pavilion.

He swept his spiritual sense around, found no trace of spirit rabbits, and nodded in satisfaction:

"The action was quite swift; it seems that little girl Bai Jiawei really likes spirit rabbits."

He had only used the spirit rabbits to scare Bai Jiawei.

He did not expect that for the sake of the spirit rabbits' safety, Bai Jiawei immediately moved them to a new location.

He pondered silently in his heart.

Looking at the mountain peak where the spirit rabbits were no longer to be seen, Ye Qingxuan felt a faint sense of guilt rise in his heart.

He spoke softly:

"Was it too cruel to trick that girl Bai Jiawei into eating spirit rabbit meat?"

Ye Qingxuan, rubbing his chin and reflecting on himself, did not notice Bai Jiawei's figure within the mountain peak.

Shaking his head, Ye Qingxuan cast the thought from his mind.

Cultivators do not fuss over trifles; it should not matter.

After finding a reason for himself, Ye Qingxuan waved his hand and cleaned the inside and outside of the stone pavilion.

Then he took out a teapot, began to brew tea and admire the scenery, observing the subtle changes time and the years brought to the surrounding world.

At this moment, he did not know.

In another location of the Xuantian Mountain Range, within the residence of Hong Miaomiao and Bai Qingyun.

Bai Jiawei was frowning her beautiful brows, studying the one hundred and eighth way to eat spirit rabbits.

Beside her was a group of spirit rabbits, confined by a formation, now trembling in fear and huddled into a ball, looking extremely cute.
