Chapter 49: The Temptation of Gourmet Food

Su Zhai, kitchen.

A little boy carrying a basket of verdant fragrant leaves handed it to Su Mu, "Grandma, my mother asked me to bring this over."

"My good grandson has worked hard, this was the only ingredient missing."

"You're welcome, Grandma." The little boy sat obediently on a small stool in front of the stove, picked up the fire poker, and poked at the fire.

Su Mu poured the fragrant leaves into the braising broth, and suddenly a rich aroma burst forth, even drifting out to the street, causing passersby to look over repeatedly.

"Go to Su's Braised Delicacies and buy some meat; this is too tempting."

"Don't even mention it, in all of Yun Du, only Su's braised delicacies are both delicious and reasonably priced; the prices haven't changed in all these years."

"Even the Emperor goes there to eat."

"Hurry up, I'm about to swallow my own tongue."

Xiao Mi smelled the fragrance in the air and said urgently to Su Xi, "Big Sister, I'm so hungry. I don't want to eat pastries anymore, I want to eat meat."

"We have it, we have everything." Su Xi, carrying Xiao Mi and Xiao Xingxing on her back and holding a slender calico cat in her arms, entered the main gate of Su Zhai.

The gatekeeper stopped her, "Young lady, please stay your steps. May I ask who you are looking for?"

"I am returning to my own home," Su Xi said with a smile.

The gatekeeper looked Su Xi over, suddenly slapped his thigh, and ran inside the residence, "Old Madam, Old Master, the Eldest Miss is back—"

Su Xi followed and continued walking inside.

Su Mu held her eldest grandson, incredibly excited, "My good grandson, your eldest aunt is back."

"Is the eldest aunt the Fairy Aunt?" Su Fengpu hugged Su Mu's neck; he had heard plenty of stories about the Fairy Aunt from his mother.

Su Mu nodded, "Yes, that's the Fairy Aunt."

After Su Xi greeted Su Mu and her eldest nephew, she set down Xiao Mi and Xiao Xingxing from her back.

Xiao Mi hugged Xiao Xingxing and greeted Su Mu very sensibly, "Hello, Grandma. My name is Xiao Mi, and I am a companion traveling with Big Sister."

"Xiao Mi? Traveling companion?" The moment Su Mu saw Xiao Mi, her mind was filled with thoughts—she had become a grandmother, she had a granddaughter...

"Yes," Xiao Mi replied, "In the future, I will introduce Big Sister to my older brother, and then Big Sister will be my sister-in-law."

"That's good~" Su Mu looked at Xiao Mi's appearance, thinking that her brother must also be good-looking; if they could get along, it would be a happy event.

She had originally thought that her daughter would be unable to start a family after cultivating immortality. If she could have an immortal partner, that would naturally be excellent.

Su Xi: "... Mother, she is just a child; please don't take what she says seriously."

Xiao Mi pouted slightly, "Big Sister, you shouldn't say that about children. We are very serious when we speak, right, little Su Fengpu?"

Su Fengpu dared not nod, nor did he dare to shake his head; he was just stunned on the spot... was it right or was it not?

Gu Shi, supporting her large belly, hurried over, "Eldest Sister is back; we have been longing for you day and night."

"Sister-in-law, walk slowly, don't rush." Su Xi hurried over to support her, "I was just saying I would go see you, why did you come here? Are you close to giving birth?"

"It's this month. Eldest Sister, you must stay for a few more days and let us soak up your immortal aura; perhaps I will be able to cultivate immortality in the future." Gu Shi held Su Xi's hand, showing no distance at all.

Seeing that they had a good relationship, Su Mu felt at ease.

In other families, the relationship between sisters-in-law is complicated; they don't just bicker, they fight and become enemies, causing complete chaos.

"Grandma, what delicious thing are you making? It smells so good," Xiao Mi tugged on Su Mu's sleeve.

Su Mu was about to answer when she saw the calico cat squatting on the ground...

"Xi-niu, who is this?" Su Mu asked Su Xi.

Su Xi hurriedly said, "It's my fault, I neglected her because she turned small. She is Da Jin's wife, her name is Da Miao, and Xiao Xingxing is their son."

Da Miao transformed into human form, her figure petite and graceful, her appearance charming and enchanting, beautiful enough to capture one's soul, "It's fine, you all reunite first; I am very happy just watching."

Su Xi looked at her in surprise, "A girl changes eighteen times; so it's the same for Spirit Demons."

Da Miao couldn't be bothered to pay her any mind; she took an exquisite gift box from the storage beast ring on her wrist and handed it to Su Mu, "There are ten thousand-year spirit fruits inside, a small gift for our first meeting."

"This is too precious! No, no." Su Mu hurriedly declined.

Xiao Mi watched them exchange pleasantries and said to Su Fengpu, "Do you know where that fragrance is coming from?"

Su Fengpu nodded, "I know, Grandma and I are boiling braising broth."

"Can you take me to see it?"

"I can, but my grandma never lets me mess with it."

"I won't touch it, I'll just look."

Immediately, Su Fengpu walked in front, and Xiao Mi, holding Xiao Xingxing, followed him toward the kitchen.

By the time Su Xi and the others noticed, the three little ones had long since disappeared.

Xiao Mi stared at the large pot of braising broth, swallowing her saliva uncontrollably, and said to Su Fengpu, "Look, who is at the door?"

Su Fengpu did not doubt her, immediately looked over, saw no one at the door, and even walked out to check, "Who?"

A small golden gourd appeared in Xiao Mi's hand, and she secretly collected some of the braising broth.

Su Fengpu ran back into the courtyard, and after confirming there was no one there, he turned back and saw Xiao Mi standing at the door holding Xiao Xingxing, and replied honestly, "It seems they have already left."

"Mm!" Xiao Mi nodded.

Su Fengpu said, "Are you hungry?"

Xiao Mi's eyes lit up, "I am hungry."

Su Fengpu opened the cupboard, took out a pastry box, and a plate of sliced braised meat, "Grandma left these for me, let's eat together."

"Okay!" Xiao Mi helped him carry the braised meat.

"Let's go eat under the jujube tree outside." Su Fengpu carried the pastry box.

When Su Xi came over, the two little ones and one small golden cat were eating and drinking, drinking the Spirit Spring Water she had given to Xiao Mi.

When Da Miao, Su Mu, and Gu Shi followed over, they couldn't help but laugh.

"So delicious! It's even better than what Uncle Zu Lu makes," Xiao Mi said with a satisfied smile.

Su Xi wiped her greasy little mouth and asked Su Mu, "Mother, do you have the recipe for this braised dish? When Xiao Mi goes home, I'll have her family make it for her."

"Yes, yes, I have several," Su Mu replied readily. "I had intended to pass them on to you, but then you went off to cultivate immortality."

Xiao Mi's eating came to an abrupt halt. "For me?"

"That's right," Su Xi smiled. "Once your family finds you, you aren't allowed to be willful and run off again."

"Thank you, Big Sister, thank you, Grandma," Xiao Mi replied happily.

Su Fu and Su Zhangqing also returned, bringing many delicious treats. After some introductions, the lively reunion banquet began.

At the same time, Da Jin, who was a guest in the Huang Gong along with Rong Shou and Xue Fuyi, sent a voice transmission to Da Miao, wanting to ask if Xiao Xingxing missed him.

As it turned out, the voice transmission talisman did not fly in the direction of the South Dao Sect.

Da Jin immediately followed the trail of the voice transmission talisman.

Finally, he arrived at the Su Zhai.

And as soon as he arrived, he smelled Su Xi's scent.

His golden vertical pupils suddenly widened. "Young Sect Master?"

?? Good night~~ Xiao Mi's identity is very easy to guess, right? Haha~ Love you all, mwah!!!
