Chapter 17
“Ahem,” Xiao Changtian coughed. The fragrant wind that wafted into the tip of his nose caused his blood to surge.
Afraid that he would faint, he quickly pushed Mu Jiuhuang away.
“Jiu’er, be careful next time. I’ll teach you how to cut vegetables now,” Xiao Changtian said softly, changing the topic. He came to the chopping board and raised the knife in his hand.
“Yes,” Mu Jiuhuang’s face was flushed and she almost buried her face in her chest.
“Look carefully. For a vegetable like the ground melon, you must cut it along the lines of the melon. Just like this…” Xiao Changtian demonstrated it himself. The ground melon was a special product of Dayang Town. It looked like a potato, but the texture inside was complicated. If one didn’t cut it according to the lined texture, it would ruin the taste.
Mu Jiuhuang watched carefully from the side, not daring to make any mistakes.
Xiao Changtian’s blade fell.
Ye Fan, who had just picked up his axe, saw this and his expression changed.
His master’s strike didn’t show any signs of using a knife. It didn’t even carry any sword intent. It was as if he was really cutting vegetables. It was extremely ordinary!
“This is the true meaning of the return to mortality!” Ye Fan exclaimed in his heart. He was still far from his master.
Mu Jiuhuang was also watching with great interest, “I didn’t expect such a peerless expert like the master to actually cook and be so skilled at it.”
“Senior’s cutting technique looks very simple, but it seems to have the unique charm of a certain skill that has reached mastery,” As Mu Jiuhuang looked on, she was engrossed. Suddenly, she had an epiphany. The barrier of the realm in her dantian was thus broken by more than half.
“This…” Mu Jiuhuang was shocked. The senior was really too strong.
As expected, it was only right to follow the senior to comprehend the Supreme Dao.
In the Qingyun Sect, Chu Yiren looked at Huo Qingyun and frowned. She shook her head and said, “You won’t do for me.”
Huo Qingyun, “???”
Huo Qingyun was dumbfounded. The sect leader had simply informed him to come to the main hall. He didn’t even know what was going on, and he was already told that he couldn’t do it.
“Young lady, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t just say whatever you want,” Huo Qingyun’s face darkened. He had already noticed the suspicious look in his junior sister’s eyes.
This made him very angry. Why was the other party spouting nonsense here? What if his junior sister misunderstood?
“I don’t feel anything toward you,” Chu Yiren shook her head again. Although the man in front of her was handsome and had extraordinary cultivation, Chu Yiren did not feel any romantic feelings.
“You…” Huo Qingyun was speechless. He felt like his words had not been taken heed by Chu Yiren.
“Qingyun, this is the daughter of Beast-taming Sect’s sect leader, Chu Yiren,” Perfected Qing Yun introduced.
“Oh, I see. I don’t have any feelings for you either,” Huo Qingyun replied. He wanted to reply to Chu Yiren so that she would feel the same feeling of being ignored.
However, the result he was expecting did not appear.
“Boring,” Chu Yiren said disdainfully. She rolled her eyes at him and bid farewell to the sect leader, “Senior Qing Yun, I’ll take my leave.”
Then, she rode the snow wolf king and left the Qingyun Sect, leaving the furious Huo Qingyun behind.
“Damn this Chu Yiren. I’m going to teach her a lesson the next time I see her. I’ll let her know how powerful I am,” Huo Qingyun said angrily.
However, Wang Luoli, who was standing beside him, had a suspicious look on her face as if she was pondering over something.
“Junior sister, you have to believe me,” Huo Qingyun hurriedly explained. If this caused his junior sister to misunderstand, that would be a huge matter.
“Huh. Senior brother, why are you telling me this?” Wang Luoli replied and left with a red face.
“Junior sister, you really have to believe me…”
After leaving the Qingyun Sect, Chu Yiren’s expression was gloomy. she had not expected that she would not feel anything for the head disciple of the Qingyun Sect, a genius.
After that, Chu Yiren visited a few other sects, but without exception, she felt nothing for all of the talents in those sects.
“Damn it, this is a huge continent, but I can’t even find a husband?” Chu Yiren sat on the snow wolf’s back, looking helpless.
“Miss, let’s find a nearby inn for a breather,” Elder Wang consoled.
Although they were cultivators and would not be tired, nor did they lack spiritual stones, Elder Wang could not stand it anymore.
The young miss of his sect said straight to the faces of others that they won’t do out of the blue. It was simply impolite.
They should look for an inn to rest for the day, for now. He still needed to have a good talk with Chu Yiren about the whole matter. After all, he had been through this and knew more about courting.
“Alright,” Chu Yiren sighed and had no choice but to agree.
“The nearest one is the Dayang Sect’s inn,” Elder Wang looked at the map and pointed ahead.
The two of them then walked towards Dayang Town’s inn.
To not scare the mortals, Chu Yiren had the snow wolf king shrink itself to the size of a large white dog.
“Let’s go, why aren’t you moving?” Chu Yiren looked at the snow wolf king that was lying on the ground and frowned.
Even Elder Wang’s face darkened. The snow wolf king was trembling in fear.
The snow wolf king was a powerful demon. Even if it was facing a Heavenly Tribulation Realm expert, it would not be so afraid.
The two of them thus stared at the approaching Xiao Changtian with vigilant eyes.
Xiao Changtian had just finished his lunch and was taking Alpha out for a walk. Alpha could now walk on its own and didn’t need Xiao Changtian to carry him.
As Alpha and Xiao Changtian approached, the snow wolf king trembled even more.
“There’s something strange about this man. Be careful,” Elder Wang immediately sent a telepathic message to Chu Yiren. He stared at Xiao Changtian with a frown.
He clearly felt that the Xiao Changtian was only a mortal. However, the snow wolf king’s fear was also real. It was because of the appearance of this man and dog that the snow wolf king did not dare to move.
Chu Yiren, who was at the side, was originally also on guard. However, when she saw Xiao Changtian’s face, her heart suddenly beat faster, and her face unconsciously turned red.
She could feel romantic feelings now.
“I’m Chu Yiren. Can you be my husband?” Chu Yiren walked up to him and asked. Her breathing became rapid, and her body trembled uncontrollably due to her nervousness.
Xiao Changtian, “???”
Elder Wang, “???”
The two of them were dumbfounded on the spot.
“What’s the situation?” Xiao Changtian looked at Chu Yiren, wondering if there was something wrong with this girl’s brain.
But he definitely couldn’t say it out loud.
After all, someone was behind this lady. He seemed to be this lady’s elder.
“Young lady, please make way. I’m going home,” Xiao Changtian picked up Alpha and looked at Elder Wang, who was standing behind Chu Yiren.
“Yiren, make way,” Elder Wang quickly pulled Chu Yiren away.
