Chapter 9: Roasted Chicken Wings, I Love to Eat

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for acting cool successfully. Reward: 40 Acting Cool Points!"

"En?"

Watching the six people run far away, the system's notification sound suddenly echoed in Xu Que's mind, and he was stunned.

Strange, when did I act cool?

Just asked them to pick up some dry firewood, how is that acting cool?

Xu Que shook his head in confusion, too lazy to think much, and directly summoned the system to recycle the golden cores of the Blood Sea Sect disciples and Young Master Song he had killed earlier.

"Ding! Consumed ten golden cores. Gained 500,000 experience!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for leveling up successfully. Current realm: Core Formation Stage, Level 6!"

Instantly, a stream of heat surged from his lower dantian, and Xu Que leveled up again!

Core Formation Stage Level 6, only four levels away from the 10th level Small Perfection!

"Soon, Xiao Rou, soon, I will be able to get the method to resurrect you!" He looked at the Soul-Locking Tower in the storage space and muttered in a low voice.

A few breaths later, he came back to his senses and took out a few things from the system package.

First was a clean cloth, spread flat on the ground. Following that, a dozen plucked chicken wings appeared on that cloth, then some bottles and jars marked with words like "chili powder," "soy sauce," "pepper powder," and so on!

These seasonings were all exchanged from the system mall, and the price wasn't expensive; the entire seasoning set only cost one Acting Cool Point!

As for those chicken wings, they were wild chickens he had caught while hunting wild beasts in the forest some time ago. Every time he was hungry, he would make something to eat himself. His already decent cooking skills had improved a lot in this half a month.

However, there were only a few pairs of chicken wings left to eat, and Xu Que hesitated.

Should he braise them? Or deep-fry them?

Ah, right, try New Orleans roasted wings!

Xu Que thought of the fragrance when he ate roasted wings in his previous life and couldn't help but crave it.

Immediately, he took out an iron basin from the system package, threw all the chicken wings in, added various seasonings, and started marinating them! Then he sat on the side, crossed his legs, and waited leisurely.

A moment later, the people from the Imperial Physician Sect returned, holding a large pile of dry firewood, running until they were covered in sweat.

"Se...... Senior, is...... is this enough?"

"Enough, enough, don't need so much, you guys sit down, let me handle the rest." Xu Que felt a bit ashamed. It's just starting a fire, do you need to move so much dry firewood?

After hearing this, the few people put the dry firewood aside and sat down to rest, wanting to see how the "senior" would set up the array.

As a result, just after sitting down, they widened their eyes, looking at an iron pot on the ground, and inside there were actually...... chicken wings?

What's the situation?

The six people looked at each other, full of confusion.

At this time, Xu Que stood up and walked toward the pile of dry firewood, bending down, carefully selecting from it.

Actually, to make roasted wings, he could completely use true essence to unleash flames for heating, but in this way, the roasted wings would lack the unique charcoal-grilled fragrance!

So Xu Que asked those people to pick some dry firewood, and then he carefully selected fruit wood branches from it. Only charcoal burned from fruit wood was the most fragrant, and only then could he make the most perfect, original New Orleans roasted wings!

"Snap!"

After selecting the dry firewood, Xu Que threw it into the open space, and with a wave of his two fingers, a wisp of true essence condensed into flames, rushing into the dry firewood.

The few Imperial Physician Sect disciples looked a bit dumbfounded, completely confused.

Isn't he going to set up an array? Why did he burn these dry firewood? Could it be some kind of mysterious ritual?

The few people continued to remain silent, deciding to keep watching.

Thus, they watched with their own eyes as Xu Que walked past them and went to the back, picking up the iron pot full of chicken wings.

The few people widened their eyes instantly!

The next moment, a wire mesh appeared out of thin air in Xu Que's hand and was placed above the firewood.

Then, he placed the chicken wings from the pot onto the wire mesh pair by pair!

"Sizzle!"

The seasoning juice on the chicken wings dripped into the firewood, making a light sound!

"Hmm, that's right, this is the taste!" Xu Que leaned over, took a deep breath, and a look of enjoyment appeared on his face.

The few Imperial Physician Sect disciples rolled their eyes and almost fainted!

So...... so after all this time, you just wanted to roast chicken wings to eat!

Senior, you can't play like this. The great enemy is right in front, the Blood Sea Sect is about to kill their way over, and you still have the heart to roast chicken wings here?

The few people felt their brains weren't enough, but they were also full of helplessness.

"Senior, didn't you say you wanted to make preparations? How......"

"Right, eat your fill first, then you'll have the strength to kill the enemy. By the way, do you guys eat spicy? Like mild spicy or medium spicy? There's also extreme spicy!" Xu Que blinked and smiled at the few people.

The six people: "......"

"This...... sigh......" A female disciple with a pretty face wanted to say something, but finally it turned into a sigh.

She knew that saying anything was useless. This senior was a freak and wouldn't listen to advice at all!

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for acting cool successfully. Reward: 40 Acting Cool Points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for acting cool successfully. Reward: 60 Acting Cool Points!"

Listening to the system's notification sounds echoing in his mind, Xu Que felt refreshed, fanning the firewood while humming a song.

"Roasted chicken wings, I love to eat, but your old mother says you're about to be nailed......" It was the classic song from Stephen Chow's movie "Flirting Scholar"!

The few Imperial Physician Sect disciples twitched their mouths and could only sit on the side dumbfounded.

The youngest female disciple held her small head, looking at Xu Que blankly, muttering: "The senior's singing voice is quite nice, but the lyrics seem a bit hard to understand......"

Time passed bit by bit!

Only Xu Que's humming and the "crackle" sound of the firewood remained by the swamp.

But not long after, a rich fragrance slowly drifted from the chicken wings, permeating the nostrils of the few people present.

The few Imperial Physician Sect disciples widened their eyes instantly, full of shock.

So fragrant! Clearly not hungry, but why did they suddenly want to eat something after smelling this unique fragrance!

"Sizzle!"

The skin of the chicken wings was already oily, crispy, and golden, emitting a fragrance that made people's index fingers move. Xu Que took out a small brush, dipped it in some honey, and brushed it back and forth on the chicken wings.

The few Imperial Physician Sect disciples were shocked again.

"Chicken wings can actually be made so colorful, fragrant, and delicious? The senior is truly amazing!"

"Low profile, low profile, just a few New Orleans roasted wings, I'll treat you to spicy fried chicken, spicy chicken leg burgers, secret recipe sirloin steak another day......" Xu Que said, feeling even hungrier.

"Boom!"

Just at this moment, a muffled sound suddenly erupted from the swamp nearby. The blood python from earlier drilled out, extremely shocked: "What smell, what smell is this, why is it so fragrant?"

The few Imperial Physician Sect disciples were startled, and after realizing it was the blood python, they showed angry expressions and raised their swords to kill it.

As a result, they suddenly saw a wisp of ghostly white flame shooting out from Xu Que's hand, emitting a chill, and landing on the blood python!

With a "sizzle," the blood python was instantly wrapped in white flames and directly frozen into an ice stick!

"Noisy!" Xu Que snorted, and then as if nothing had happened, he bent down and continued to fan the firewood!

The Imperial Physician Sect disciples on the side were shocked on the spot, dumbfounded!

This time they were really scared!

The Nascent Soul Stage blood python was...... actually killed by him in seconds like this!

My god, who...... who exactly is he?

No wonder he wasn't afraid of the Blood Sea Sect at all! ===== CHAPTER 10 =====

No wonder he wasn't afraid of the Blood Sea Sect at all!
