Chapter 415 - 407: The Bigshot vs. The Foodie
Great, now the Space Transmitter is malfunctioning too, and I can’t be transported directly to the mission location. Do I have to walk there?
Rubbing her empty stomach, so hungry!
It’s near dusk, so let’s rest for the night and plan tomorrow.
The world is unpredictable, nature is merciless.
She, unfortunately, is just a victim of this disaster.
Dragged here inexplicably, almost meeting her doom.
Alas!
Petting Xiao Li’s fluffy little head, it feels great.
"Play on your own, sis has work to do."
Putting up the sturdy tent, laying down the plush electric blanket.
Setting up the foldable table, sitting cross-legged.
Where to get food? Naturally, order from the Food City.
Fried chicken, grilled sausage, burgers, fries, cream pudding with cola.
Cheng Xiaoxiao casually browsed the Food City in the mall subpage, lots of delicious stuff.
This is it, the old brand.
She started tapping on a restaurant called "Pecking Chicken."
Wishing she could order one of everything.
Looking at the golden-brown pizza, Cheng Xiaoxiao gulped, did she order too much? Plus, can she finish it with the pizza?
Just as she was hesitating.
"What are these things?"
A voice close to her ear, deep and magnetic.
A shiver ran through her body.
Startled, Cheng Xiaoxiao’s finger accidentally poked the checkout icon.
The items she ordered instantly appeared on the table.
Cheng Xiaoxiao leaned over, turned her head.
Seeing the majestic appearance of the master up close is even more intimidating!
But, isn’t he supposed to be recuperating his soul body? What’s he doing here all of a sudden?
No, no, her thoughts drifted.
"M-Master, you, you can see it."
Cheng Xiaoxiao pointed at the store page questioning.
Mo Xiaoyi nodded.
"I can’t read the text, but from the pictures, it should be food."
Cheng Xiaoxiao sprang up, bumping her head against the top of the tent.
"Ouch!"
"This is..." not science at all.
"How come you can see it?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao stuttered.
"If it’s a storage-type Magical Treasure, why don’t I sense any Spiritual Treasure aura?"
Is that the main point?
Master!
That’s not the point, the point is her secret is exposed.
This is just unscientific.
And then, something even more unscientific happened...
Someone, without a teacher, tapped twice on the page and then pressed the checkout icon, and the things he ordered, burgers and chicken wings, appeared on the table.
"Ah, I see now."
See now, my foot!
This, this soul body, why can he use her bugged golden finger so freely and skillfully... and without learning?
Cheng Xiaoxiao was petrified.
Who is she?
Where is she?
What is she supposed to do?
Completely bewildered.
Why can’t she touch him, but he can operate her stuff?
This is just unfair.
Hold on, "What are you doing?"
Seeing him about to act again, Cheng Xiaoxiao quickly scolded.
"Dude, these things cost money. Ordering so much, I can’t even finish it, yikes, yikes, yikes, yikes."
She’s about to go crazy!
Someone was scratching his head, sulking.
While another calmly floated to the table opposite, sat cross-legged earnestly, and started eating the food on the table.
"The taste is not bad."
He hasn’t tasted mortal food in hundreds of years.
The soul body is too weak, replenishing some Primordial Energy can’t hurt.
Cheng Xiaoxiao laid on the table, inch by inch staring at the person opposite.
Her face filled with disbelief.
"Master, has your character broken?"
Don’t you know?
You’re an Immortal. How can an Immortal Cultivator eat ordinary food? How can you indulge in mundane cravings?
Watching the increasing disappearance of food on the table.
Someone grabbed a chicken leg, gnawing it fiercely, chewing aggressively.
The master cultivator turns into a foodie in seconds.
Her worldview was completely shattered.
"This being eats once every three days."
Left with an inexplicable sentence.
The ethereal soul body vanished in an instant.
She just became the big fool.
It drove her mad.
Life is full of surprises indeed.
...
The quiet night, isolated and silent.
A good night’s sleep.
With such a ruckus, surely no creatures within a radius of several miles would bother her.
Packing up the tent.
Looking at the bumpy gravel path.
She opened the panel store, decisively spent 2800 System Coins, and bought a mountain off-road bike.
Wearing knee pads, Protective Bracelet, helmet, goggles, and thermal clothing.
Off we go!
As for the direction.
She remembered learning before, in the morning facing the sun is east, behind is west, left is north, right is south.
Looking up at the sky, where is the sun?
Since the disaster, it’s been a long time since she saw sunlight, the sky’s always dim and full of swirling snowflakes.
Choosing a direction by instinct and hitting the road.
Riding along, stumbling and tripping.
Along the way, she picked up lots of animal corpses, all shaken to death.
Three days later, Cheng Xiaoxiao arrived at a shallow creek, with a gently flowing, clear stream.
The creek water carries a warm scent, unusually unfrozen, there might be hot springs in this mountain.
Building a fire.
Boiling water, prepping the wild chicken, washing the fresh mushrooms picked along the way.
Adding spices, putting in the wild chicken and mushrooms, simmering it up.
Until the aromas of chicken and mushrooms blended, the strong scent wafting through the wisps of white smoke made mouths water.
She uncovered the lid, a wave of heat rose from the clay pot, immediately filling the mountain with a stronger fragrance.
"Gulp."
Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but lick her lips, her hunger intensified.
She had just set the table when someone suddenly appeared in front of her.
This time, Cheng Xiaoxiao was only surprised for a moment before turning away.
Just on time.
"What is this?"
"This is chicken stewed with mushrooms, fresh and delicious, a top-notch taste. Does the Master want a bowl?"
"Yes!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao secretly rolled her eyes, the master is just a little foodie.
Diagnosis confirmed.
The meat is tender and smooth, soft and tasty, with a kind of natural aroma never tasted before amidst the heat.
The perfectly suited spices masked the eggy smell of the wild chicken. Moreover, mushrooms rich in amino acids enhanced the flavor, this chicken soup was truly flavorful, beyond delicious.
Thinking of something, Cheng Xiaoxiao cautiously spoke.
"I heard Immortal Cultivators have Divine Sense? Can the Master help me see which direction is the nearest city? I’ve been wandering in this mountain for three days, just mountains and trees."
Why else was she wandering for three days without leaving this snow-covered primal forest?
Seeing the master’s bowl emptied of chicken soup, Cheng Xiaoxiao hurriedly filled another.
She also poured herself a bowl, swiftly devouring the remaining chicken and mushrooms, leaving no trace of the chicken soup.
After two bowls of chicken soup, the flavorful mushroom stew seemed to have completely won over the master, as if he’d never tasted such a wonderful flavor, savoring it to the last.
Yet when looking at Cheng Xiaoxiao, his gaze restrained, reverting to that ethereal high figure, pointing in a direction.
