Chapter 290: Terrifying Indeed

I thought the culinary skills were superb, and being the Master's, at the very least the appearance should be that of a middle-aged person.

Although appearance is something that, at her realm, can be changed at will.

But as a teacher, one still needs to put some effort into outward appearance to be convincing; this look, even if said to be a scholar, someone would believe!

Anyway, no one would believe this is a cook.

Xuan Feng raised her eyebrows, that day Peng endlessly boasted about this so-called Chen shopkeeper's profound cultivation, so she decided to see just how deep it actually was.

At that moment, she activated her magical power to investigate.

But the next moment, Xuan Feng trembled violently, her whole person went dumb, and her eyes looking at Chen Nuo became dazed.

Yet if one looked closely, one could detect the fear hidden within; Xuan Feng felt her heart almost leap out at that instant.

That Peng looked at the smooth-talking person, and indeed spoke truly!

Unfathomable depth... Xuan Feng felt she was like a tiny speck of dust, while Chen the shopkeeper before her seemed like the entire Honghuang, vast and boundless.

The disparity was already beyond what words could estimate.

This feeling, she had only felt when the Mother was angry, and even this was even more terrifying!

Gritting her teeth, Xuan Feng finally withdrew her magical power.

Her face turned deathly pale, her heart rose to her throat; she had actually just fantasized about tearing this place apart... truly, she had eaten a bear's heart and leopard's gall!

Although she had the Mother as her backing, it did not mean she could act without restraint.

Like such a peerless master, even if below a Holy Person, among Prepared Saints she was probably among the very top tier.

Even if she were directly killed, the Mother's side would offer compensation, and this matter could be directly overlooked.

After all, she provoked people first!

Xuan Feng's heart surged with a wave of sorrow; she did not want to die!

Seeing Xuan Feng trembling like that, Chen Nuo wore a look of speechlessness.

I originally wanted to scare this ignorant little bird, but didn't expect she would actually seek stimulation herself, using magical power to probe his cultivation.

Now it's fine, she's gone stupid, right?

With a faint smile, Chen Nuo narrowed his eyes and spoke softly: "I heard you think the food, drinks, and alcohol here are expensive?"

The voice wasn't loud, but to Xuan Feng it was no less than thunderclaps in the ears; regaining her senses, Xuan Feng desperately shook her head.

Stammering: "No, not expensive.

Cheap, very cheap"

On her beautiful, lovely face now was nothing but panic.

Expensive or not? Blood is expensive!

But, dare to say it? She fears that as soon as she speaks, she'll be gone!

Chen Nuo nodded, his attitude was still quite proper.

"Since it's so cheap, then just buy everything"

Chen Nuo said leisurely.

"Buy!

Buy"

Xuan Feng squeezed out a smile uglier than crying, gritted her teeth and said.

Chen Nuo stepped back two steps, turned sideways, and vacated the counter position.

"Customer, please"

Although the voice was kind, Xuan Feng dared not refute in the slightest.

Hesitatingly rising, she paid the meal money again.

Watching her bright red essence blood being absorbed once more, Xuan Feng's heart was dripping blood.

This shop is too dark, forcing purchases and sales!

Seeing such Xuan Feng, Chen Nuo was not dismissive; not caring about other things was already merciful enough.

This extra liquor money is equivalent to the compensation for fantasizing about destroying the restaurant.

"Take your time"

Chen Nuo smiled and spoke.

Having heard that, Xuan Feng then dared to move, lowered her head, gazing at the Flying Dragon Soup before her, gently inhaling the air filled with the new dish and the soup's mingled fragrance.

For some unknown reason, her originally anxious heart gradually relaxed.

Xuan Feng picked up the spoon, lightly sipped a mouthful of soup.

Xuan Feng's whole person instantly straightened her back, almost cried out in surprise, her pair of beautiful eyes bright as snow.

What is this peerless delicacy, light yet exuding fresh-salty flavor, not abrupt, just like clouds dyed with rosy clouds, utmost beauty accompanied by harmony.

Just one bite actually made her heart and mind somewhat intoxicated.

Turns out, there was no exaggeration!

Xuan Feng inwardly marveled myriadfold, having thought Peng's and that little dragon's words were mostly boasting, didn't expect it to be a true portrayal!

The soup is like this, so how should the meat be? After thinking, Xuan Feng felt some itchy urge hard to bear, hastily picked up her chopsticks, and poked at the meat chunks in the soup.

Immediately, her eyes showed a hint of surprise, this meat isn't said to be flying dragon? How could it have wings!

Although cut very finely, Xuan Feng still saw, this is fundamentally not a dragon, clearly just a flying bird!

"Shopkeeper, this dish, isn't it supposed to be Flying Dragon Soup? Why isn't it dragon meat?"

Xuan Feng blurted out.

Hearing this, En Ling's face showed some indignation, dragon what? Who provoked whom, just to eat dragon!

Upon hearing, Chen Nuo rolled his eyes.

That being said, how can husband and wife lung slices not be a real couple, and why is there no wife in wife cake? "This is hazelnut chicken, because the Imperial Minister has scales, so it's also called flying dragon."

Chen Nuo explained lightly.

This thing is not easy to come by; basically all hazelnut chicken is bought directly by him from the system's ingredient store, and in the lottery, it hasn't come out even once.

Xuan Feng nodded, so that's how it is.

But... Xuan Feng couldn't bring herself to eat it.

This so-called hazelnut chicken and her true form are both birds; although she is a phoenix of noble lineage, eating this kind of thing still makes her feel somewhat awkward in her heart.

No, Xuan Feng secretly shook her head.

I absolutely cannot do this; this is disrespect to my own kind. Xuan Feng would rather starve to death here than take even a bit of this flying dragon soup!

One second, two seconds... time passed bit by bit.

Xuan Feng, who had originally turned her head to the side, slowly looked again toward the tempting flying dragon soup on the table.

Gurgle, Xuan Feng unconsciously swallowed her saliva.

Mmm... I really want to eat it!

Every second of waiting is unbearable torment; this is a trial of body and mind.

Time feels like years.

Especially when smelling the aroma and looking at this bowl of flying dragon soup before her, this painful feeling is even stronger.

Although Xuan Feng could directly use her cultivation to block these senses—but she is unwilling to, for such a soul-refreshing flavor and a feast of beauty beyond compare.

To miss even a second of savoring it is unforgivable; she cannot do it!

Finally, Xuan Feng trembled as she reached again for the chopsticks, gripping them in her hand.

Never mind, Xuan Feng steeled her heart and began self-hypnosis.

She is of the Feng Clan; this thing called hazelnut chicken looks at first glance like an ordinary mundane bird, a little chicken.

It's simply not on the same level; how could it compare to a phoenix? After eating it, what could happen? She lightly pinched up a small piece—she just wants to taste it, just a taste!

Let's see if this thing tastes good or not; if it doesn't, she'll just drink the soup directly!

She opened her beak slightly and chewed carefully.

Mmm!

Xuan Feng almost excitedly slapped the table; the meat was snow-white, extremely delicate.

She had never before tasted meat with such an exquisite texture.

Fresh, tender!

Not only did the broth gain the meat's flavor.

The meat also absorbed the essence of the ingredients; this bite of enjoyment, Xuan Feng had never experienced before!

So fragrant!

Xuan Feng's eating speed kept increasing; where would she still care about whether it's poultry or not? Just make it and be done!

Watching Xuan Feng enjoy her meal so much, Chen Nuo smiled slightly; it seems the principle of "true fragrance" applies not only to humans.

But... Chen Nuo nodded, saying that's right, after all, hazelnut chicken is heavenly dragon meat, a famous dish passed down from his past life—there's never been a simple one!
