Chapter 22
Then, under Yun Shen’s frantic refreshing of entries, one spirit food after another made its debut!
[Charcoal-Roasted Wolf Ribs (Rare)]
[Braised Wolf Tenderloin (Rare)]
[Red-Braised Savage Bear Paw (Superior)]
[Roasted Whole Wolf (Superior)]
This display stunned Teacher Jiang Lan and the Twelve Beauties of Jin Ling, and they hurriedly began to taste them.
The taste made the Twelve Beauties of Jin Ling salivate, and they could barely maintain their ancient lady-like image.
As everyone knows, *Dream of the Red Chamber* is practically a food anime and an encyclopedia of the ancient foodie world. The Twelve Beauties of Jin Ling in front of him had naturally eaten many delicacies.
But no matter what kind of delicacy it was, they couldn't compare it to the ones in front of them.
They had clearly all roasted them together just now, so how did they suddenly become such delicacies?
[Your unit Pink Skull (Lin Lin Daiyu) is amazed by your methods, favorability +5, current favorability 90.]
[Your unit Pink Skull (Wang Wang Xifeng) is captivated by your spirit food, favorability +5, current favorability 80.]
[Your unit Pink Skull (Jia Jia Qiao) is even more grateful for the new life you gave her, favorability +5, current favorability 95.]
"Huh? This little girl’s favorability is already 95?"
Yun Shen was surprised to receive the notification. Jia Jia Qiao was the daughter of Wang Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian. She didn't appear many times in the book. Her birthday was the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. Wang Wang Xifeng felt the date was unlucky and feared that naming her herself would cause a conflict, so she let Granny Liu name her, eventually calling her "Jia Qiao Jie'er," full name Jia Jia Qiao.
Of course, Jia Jia Qiao’s real mother was not the Wang Wang Xifeng he had recruited; they came from different parallel worlds, even their appearances were different, and there was no blood relationship.
The Wang Wang Xifeng he recruited was currently wearing a wedding dress, which meant she came when she was getting married, let alone having a child.
Yun Shen leaned in to listen and found that the two women were chatting, not interacting as mother and daughter, but addressing each other as sisters.
Thinking about it, it made sense. Jia Jia Qiao was only ten years old, the youngest of the Twelve Beauties of Jin Ling, and Wang Wang Xifeng was also at the age of just getting married; they weren't many years apart, so addressing each other as sisters was normal.
Not to mention that Wang Wang Xifeng was too different from the mother in Jia Jia Qiao’s impression; she really couldn't bring herself to call her "Mom." (PS: Calling someone "Niang" is relatively rare in *Dream of the Red Chamber*, and the term "Ma" existed in the Tang Dynasty; it wasn't learned from foreigners.)
Listening, Yun Shen also learned the time period when Jia Jia Qiao was recruited: it was when she was sold into a brothel and was bedridden with illness.
The original version of *Dream of the Red Chamber* had long been lost. There were many versions back then, and the latter half of the version currently in circulation was actually written by Gao E.
According to Jia Jia Qiao, in her world’s timeline, after she was sold into the flower alley, she was desperately learning songs when she was suddenly recruited to the Myriad Races Battlefield.
Yun Shen also understood why Jia Jia Qiao’s favorability toward him was so high. Saving her from fire and water in a time of crisis and avoiding the fate of becoming a woman of the night—this was a hero saving a beauty. How could the favorability not be high?
In fact, even without Yun Shen, according to Zhiyan Zhai’s commentary, Jia Qiao Jie would have been saved by Granny Liu and eventually married Ban'er, becoming a farm wife, which could be considered a relatively good ending.
"Lord, this is what I just roasted, please try it!"
Jia Jia Qiao obediently handed over a plate of wolf meat skewers, her eyes showing faint admiration.
At this age, she was innocent and naive, just beginning to understand love, so it was normal for her to have a crush on Yun Shen.
"Alright."
Facing the little loli’s kindness, Yun Shen chuckled and took it. This time, he didn't refresh entries but just tasted it like that.
"Not bad."
Yun Shen reached out, intending to pat little loli Jia Jia Qiao’s head, but found his hands were full of grease, so he sheepishly prepared to pull them back.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, a loli head pushed up on its own, pressing against his palm. That pretty and cute girl’s face was clean, and a pair of watery eyes were bravely meeting his gaze, yet revealing a hint of shyness.
Is this the effect of 95 favorability?
Yun Shen sincerely lamented that the favorability setting of the Myriad Races Battlefield was too strong, actually making an ancient little loli so proactive.
Wang Wang Xifeng, who was watching the fun on the side, teased, "Pfft, is the Lord interested in Jia Qiao Jie'er? How about letting the sisters play matchmaker?"
Jia Jia Qiao couldn't help but blush at these words. After all, she was just a ten-year-old girl, and although she was almost at the age of marriage, she couldn't help but feel shy when talking about such topics.
Yun Shen glanced at her, thinking that she was worthy of the nickname "Phoenix Spicy," really knowing how to find fun, and hummed, "Jia Qiao Jie'er is too young. In my opinion, you, Feng Yatou, are more suitable."
"Huh?"
Wang Wang Xifeng didn't expect Yun Shen to drag the topic to herself, and suddenly felt like she had set herself on fire.
Lin Lin Daiyu, thinking the more chaos the better, said, "Oh my, is the Lord taking a fancy to sister? Sister is just wearing a wedding dress, why not share the bridal chamber with the Lord tonight?"
Wang Wang Xifeng was very spicy. Being arranged like this, she said generously, "It would be boring for the Lord to be served by only one person, why not bring sister along?"
"Doesn't sister already have Jia Qiao Jie'er for company? Why do you need sister to follow?"
"Why, is sister unwilling, looking down on the Lord?"
"Look, I just said a few more words, and sister is like this. If the Lord hears this, it will make it seem like it’s my fault."
Lin Lin Daiyu began her "green tea" speech.
These girls became more and more excited as they talked, and in the blink of an eye, the other Twelve Beauties of Jin Ling joined the conversation.
One sentence after another, Jia Jia Qiao covered her face and didn't dare to make a sound. Why did so many people want her and her mother from another world, Wang Wang Xifeng, to share the bridal chamber with the Lord tonight?
Yun Shen heard it getting more and more outrageous, so he slipped away and hid by Teacher Jiang Lan’s side.
Not to mention the favorability, it wasn't necessarily true that you needed full favorability to do that. For example, Jia Jia Qiao right now, if you didn't consider the age being too young, it was actually already possible...
However, Yun Shen didn't want to drive a "child car," and he didn't dare to.
It wasn't just fear of not passing the censorship, but more fear that his small body couldn't handle it...
"Sure enough, I still need to improve my strength as soon as possible!"
Yun Shen knew his physique attribute was too poor; he might end up with a rib fracture if he wasn't careful.
After casting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, Yun Shen turned to look at Teacher Jiang Lan and asked, "How is the food? Compared to the food in your world, how is the taste?"
"Lord, why didn't you make the food taste better this afternoon?"
Teacher Jiang Lan remembered the tasteless roasted wolf meat skewers she ate in the afternoon.
"Uh, I forgot at the time."
Yun Shen chuckled twice. At that time, the wolf meat skewers didn't even have information popping up, and he didn't think of the fact that food could also have entries refreshed on it. ===== CHAPTER 41 =====
