Chapter 150

With no other choice, Ao Guang was forced into it and could only give it a try.

But the hollowness inside him was unavoidable; holding the chopsticks, his hands trembled slightly as he sent the food into his mouth with a resigned air.

He took two tentative bites, and Ao Guang's eyes instantly brightened a few degrees.

"It really is not bad!" Ao Guang couldn't help but nod in praise.

He hadn't expected that in just this short time away, Ling'er's cooking skill had actually undergone such a heaven-and-earth transformation!

At the same time, Ao Guang set his suspended heart at ease, and began eating heartily, picking up dish after dish with his chopsticks.

Ao Ling's dishes were basically imitations of Chen Nuo's various dishes; Chaos Residence's dishes had relatively few seafood items.

Ao Guang, who ate seafood all day, found these land vegetables added a touch of novelty, and felt they tasted even better than what he usually ate!

Right then he let down all his guard and ate heartily.

These ingredients were all what Master usually threw to Ao Ling to practice knife technique with; Chaos Residence produce — the quality goes without saying!

Before long, Ao Guang directly swept away nearly half the dishes.

This time, Ao Ling finally became happy quite a bit more.

"Father King, Mother Queen, eat slowly, don't rush, I still have post-meal dessert here!"

As Ao Ling spoke, she took out several items.

In an instant, both Ao Guang and Long Mu's gazes focused entirely on this, full of shock.

These are... Peaches of Immortality!

Ao Guang launched himself forward, rising from his seat to appear before Ao Ling in a flash, his eyes going straight.

His face drew closer and closer, and he murmured: "They... they really are Peaches of Immortality!"

The energy contained within, the Immortal Qi overflowing, is absolutely extraordinary — identical to what Great Immortal Wukong brought last time!

Ao Guang couldn't help but catch his breath — could these be Nine-Thousand-Year Peaches!

Seeing Ao Guang looking so worldly-inexperienced, Ao Ling frowned and complained: "Father King, you're the Dragon Palace Lord after all — your bearing, your bearing!"

Ao Ling hated that iron wouldn't become steel; thinking of how Queen Mother casually waved a hand and produced a pile of Peaches with such light nonchalance, then looking at her old man — a bit embarrassing.

At Ao Ling's words, Ao Guang's face colored with embarrassment; he straightened his posture, but his eyes never left the Peaches for a moment.

"Ling, Ling'er ah, where did you get these Peaches~"

Ao Guang's voice carried a tremor — and truly it's no wonder, for who could see so many Peaches and not be startled?

If he were a Quasi-Saint powerhouse it would be one thing, but he's only just entered Taiyi!

His Dragon Palace has no shortage of good things, but those are mostly common low-grade items or the gold, silver, and jewels the Mortal Realm covets.

Truly peerless treasures — his Dragon Palace has no qualification to touch them.

Ao Ling rolled her eyes, somewhat speechless: "Father King, when you ask me something, can't you look at me while you speak!"

Hearing this, Ao Guang gave a sheepish laugh, reluctantly withdrawing his gaze.

Long Mu also came back to herself, a concerned expression: "Ling'er ah, where did these Peaches come from, nothing bad will happen, right?"

Compared to the Peaches themselves, Long Mu cared more about Ao Ling's safety.

Ao Ling smiled lightly and shook her head: "Mother, you can rest assured; these Peaches were all given to me by Master before I left to bring back for you to eat."

For us?!!!

Long Mu's eyes brightened.

Ao Guang's pair of dragon eyes bulged as if they would pop out!

"Ling'er, are you sure?!"

Ao Guang craned his neck to look at Ao Ling, his voice trembling off-key.

"Of course."

Receiving Ao Ling's reply, Ao Guang's face was full of surprise and joy; he hurriedly lifted a Peach, moving fast yet carefully.

After careful examination for a while, Ao Guang still couldn't suppress asking: "Ling'er ah, how many years is this Peach?!"

Ao Ling on this side picked up another bite of meat,

chewed a couple of times and lost her appetite — compared to Master's dishes the gap is too great, simply hard to swallow.

Her little face wrinkled; Ao Ling hurriedly drank a sip of water to clear her palate, and only then felt a bit better.

Hearing Ao Guang's question, she answered casually: "All nine thousand years."

As expected! Although he had anticipated it, getting the actual result still left him unable to hide his joy.

"Ling'er, you really chose the right master." Ao Guang held the peach in one hand and raised a thumbs-up with the other.

"This generosity is too great!"

Great Immortal Wukong wasn't bad either — he gave eight Peaches right off the bat; didn't expect his master to be even more awesome!

Ao Guang's big dragon mouth grinned frighteningly wide, and he said joyfully: "Ling'er, you coming back is enough — why bring so many precious things?"

No sooner had he finished than Ao Guang complained again: "Even if you brought Peaches, a few Three-Thousand-Year ones would've been enough — all Nine-Thousand-Year, you're too unreasonable!"

With this many Nine-Thousand-Year Peaches, never mind his cultivation — even his entire Dragon Palace's overall power could advance greatly.

But, remembering the source when drinking water — his daughter's security in her apprenticeship is what matters most!

Ao Ling: "..."

It's that she could take whatever she wanted; she never planned to bring anything in the first place, and besides, Chaos Residence Peaches — besides nine thousand years they're just nine thousand years, no lower vintages exist, so how is that her fault?

"Husband, you say a few words less!" Long Mu gave Ao Guang a sidelong glance.

Then she turned to Ao Ling with a face full of gentleness: "Ling'er ah, what all did you learn at your Master's?"

"Learned a lot! Mother, didn't you see my cooking skill has improved too?" Ao Ling said as a matter of course.

"Cooking skill." Long Mu froze, astonished: "Your Master only taught you how to cook?"

No wonder she's improved so much over before — but if he only taught cooking, that's a bit too...

Long Mu really wanted to say something about putting the cart before the horse, but she still forced herself to stop; the flat peaches her husband ate during his breakthrough, when traced back to their source, also came from her daughter's master.

How could the thoughts of a peerless master who can casually produce a pile of flat peaches be subject to random suspicion?

"Impossible! What my master taught me is not just these!" Ao Ling hurriedly shook her head.

Techniques like the Dragon Emperor Blood Heart Technique are secret transmissions she cannot conveniently reveal, after all, they were granted by her master; even her parents are not allowed to know.

However, Ao Ling's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had thought of something, and she hurriedly exclaimed excitedly: "Mom and Dad! Let me show you something!!!"

Then, Ao Ling stood up, walked leisurely toward an open space, looked at Ao Guang and Long Mu, and a hint of pride appeared on her beautiful face.

"You'd better watch closely, okay?!" Ao Ling blinked her eyes and said playfully.

Long Mu was very cooperative, her face also showing timely anticipation, while Ao Guang's eyes held a hint of scrutiny, and he murmured in his heart.

"Ling'er probably hasn't brought out all the flat peaches yet, right? That would be wonderful!"

Ao Guang thought happily to himself.

Under the gaze of the two, Ao Ling clenched her pink fist and silently chanted in her heart.

Zhenling Bian! Divine Power Manifestation!

In the next instant, Ao Ling's entire body was enveloped by red light.

"Ling'er!" Long Mu's expression changed, she looked anxious, and was about to rush forward immediately.

Ao Guang beside her directly stopped Long Mu, his dragon eyes fixed on the red light enveloping Ao Ling's entire body: "Don't worry, Ling'er is fine."

As the Dragon King and Dragon Clan Chieftain, Ao Guang's insight is not something ordinary Dragon Clan members can match; although this red light possesses a strange energy, it is not at all violent and poses no great danger.

Moreover, combining what his daughter just said, everything became clear at once.
