546: Two foodies

Yao Delong quickly extinguished the fire and changed the subject:

"Senior has appeared, may I ask what guidance you have? Do you have any new instructions regarding the investigation of Old Demon Hundred Refinements?"

You Yuan waved her fair, tender hand: "Guidance can wait! First priority: find food!"

Her face full of excitement, she pointed towards the faint outline of a huge city visible in the east,

"That direction, Evil Qi soars to the sky and the Mortal World is bustling. The Spiritual Qi is mixed, but the food Qi is most abundant. There must be good things there! Let's go!"

Without asking for opinions, a flash of light darted into Yao Delong's arms... or rather, his shoulder?

She habitually jumped up and sat down again.

As soon as Qiong Shuang heard the word "eat," the elder sister's composure immediately wavered, and she blurted out:

"Yes... yes! Big Brother! Let's go! I smell an extremely rich...

A mixed aroma of Mortal fireworks and spiritual plant oils! Ten times more fragrant than my barbecue grill!"

The previous dejection was swept away, her eyes sparkling brightly.

Watching the spirit and the flood Dragon instantly form a "united front for eating, drinking, and merrymaking," Yao Delong helplessly rubbed his forehead.

Alright... Jinling City, let's see if we can gather any useful information. Let's enter the city first.

With good luck, maybe we can even hear some rumors in the restaurant. "Hold tight... or follow closely!"

He instructed Qiong Shuang, who had transformed into a silver glow and was following him closely,

And then transformed into a streak of green light, devoid of any spiritual power fluctuations yet fast enough to tear through space, ripping through and speeding away!

Under the same sky, ten thousand miles away, was the Ba Xia Dynasty's renowned Ten Thousand Flowers Spring Roaming Valley.

A hundred flowers bloomed in competition, exotic beasts roamed docilely, a scene of immortal harmony.

The Demonic Woman Xin Yuelan lay idly beneath a huge Demon Blood Red Cherry tree,

Her charming eyes half-closed, teasing a wisp of black Evil Qi entwined around her fingertips.

Suddenly—

She abruptly sat upright! All traces of laziness vanished, and two points of demonic red light in her eyes ignited like burning ghost fires!

Within her body, a 'yanshen fetus thread' that was of the same origin as a certain power deep within Yao Delong's core,

Yet as fine as a strand of hair and spread throughout hidden corners, began to 'throb' madly and silently!

"Giggle, giggle..."

Xin Yuelan's red lips curled into a smile that could captivate all beings, her eyes gleaming with excitement and a demonic light, as if a 'prey had been caught',

"This guy... finally decided to crawl out of his iron-shelled turtle hole?"

Her lazy voice, carrying an irresistible demonic charm, drifted away: "Send a message to Luo Tianying..."

Before she finished speaking, the Void Realm beside her rippled as if a stone had been cast into water,

A black-robed figure, its face shrouded in writhing shadows, knelt on one knee, its voice dry as if rubbing:

"Saintess, forgive this disturbance! Your subordinate just received a message from Young Miss Luo: Yao Delong has left the Yin Yang Sect and is rushing at full speed to... Jinling City!"

The smile on Xin Yuelan's lips deepened, carrying a hint of understanding:

"Tell her to stop Yao Delong in Jinling City at all costs. We are rushing there at full speed!"

She said, lazily getting up and stretching with breathtaking grace.

"Yes!" The figure in the shadows acknowledged the order and melted into the air.

"A'Da," Xin Yuelan called out to the air again. The ground shook violently!

From A'Da's Beast Taming Ring, a Demonic Beast, resembling a black mountain,

Covered in dull, metallic-sheened scales, with three twisted, spiraling, hideous giant horns on its head,

And exuding a ferocious, primordial aura, silently appeared beneath the giant cherry tree.

Xin Yuelan lightly landed on the shoulder of that monstrous Demonic Beast, which resembled a moving steel fortress.

Immediately, the massive Demonic Beast stomped its four limbs on the ground!

Boom!

Only a huge, deep pit with edges melted and collapsed by high temperatures was left in its place!

Violent air currents left dozens of traces. Yet, the beast's massive metallic figure had already torn through the air,

Transforming into a scorching black whirlwind, its speed was no slower than a Peak Soul Transformation Escape Light,

And it shot towards the magnificent city named 'Jinling' in the east!

The southeastern corner of the Ba Xia Dynasty. It appeared like a city that could swallow the sky.

Jinling City truly lived up to its name as a giant metropolis of Jiangnan! Its city walls were black as if cast from Hundred Refinements refined iron, towering for hundreds of miles!

The city walls were covered with ancient Talismans and glowing cannons that shimmered with faint Formation Qi.

Passing through the city gate tunnel, wide enough for four carriages abreast and flowing with faint spatial Formation fluctuations,

A wave of clamor, carrying the scent of Mortal World fireworks, crashed upon them!

"That's the one!"

Qiong Shuang's nostrils quivered, her cravings having long been clamoring, as she pointed to a towering, cloud-piercing building ahead,

With carved beams and painted rafters, a nine-story treasure tower where Immortal Qi and flowing mist mingled with Mortal opulence,

"Immortal Gazing Tower! Even the refined top-grade Spiritual Qi is spewed from the mouths of the large stone beasts at the entrance!"

In a private room on the third floor of Immortal Gazing Tower, by the window.

You Yuan had completely taken over the entire White Jade table, sitting cross-legged in the air, with a mountain of various dishes meticulously cooked by top Mortal chefs piled before her.

The rising mist from the Heavenly Mountain Snow Bud Pigeon hadn't even floated up before she slurped it all away with a small mouth.

The Chu River Stir-fried Dragon Liver Shrimp had just begun to sizzle when it entered her invisible 'spiritual mouth'.

The Song River Three-Layer Steamed Immortal Brew Ham disappeared without a trace before her in just one second...

Yet, her stature was still that of a palm-sized little girl!

"Hey! Gluttonous Dragon! Eat more gracefully! Don't make the table messy with soup and water like a reincarnated hungry ghost, it spoils This old lady's appetite!"

You Yuan's small hand precisely slapped away Qiong Shuang's hand that was secretly reaching for the last piece of Spirit Fat Jade Bamboo Crisp!

Qiong Shuang was so angry she wanted to flip the table!

She had already restrained herself, returning to her silver-armored elder sister form to elegantly wield her chopsticks, yet this tiny spirit artifact's hand was faster than her eyes?!

And she's blaming her?! She looked at the entire Braised Spiritual Phoenix Tail Chicken, head and all, that had instantly vanished before You Yuan, not even getting a touch from her chopsticks,

So angry that her silver hair almost stood on end: "You! Don't go too far! Is it amazing to devour everything with spatial Dao principles?!

If you dare, don't snatch! Let's have a fight! Whoever loses goes downstairs to gnaw on steamed buns!"

She slammed the table, carefully not breaking the Black Ironwood table, which was said to withstand Golden Core Realm force, and glared menacingly at You Yuan.

"Fight? Gnaw on steamed buns if I lose??"

You Yuan stopped her "stormy inhalation" and scanned Qiong Shuang's curvaceous silver-armored figure up and down as if looking at an idiot,

Then she put on a compassionate air, sighing and shaking her head, "Alas... poor child, your mind is already broken at such a young age.

This old lady must stay clear-headed to avoid being infected by stupidity. For now, some of the essence on this table will be sacrificed to feed your barren brain-worms."

With that, she actually flicked a fragrant "Spiritual Qi Myriad Harmony Soup," condensed from pure Five Elements Dao Origin Qi, towards Qiong Shuang.

While this Origin Qi soup was indeed extremely beneficial for cultivation, the way it was flicked out was practically like feeding a dog!

"Pfft, cough, cough!" Yao Delong faced the stone table, coughing and stifling laughter, forcibly suppressing the twitching of his facial muscles—he couldn't even explain it!

Qiong Shuang's face turned white with anger! Her eyelids twitched wildly!

"Enough!" Yao Delong groaned, headache-ridden, and impatiently knocked on the table, drawing sidelong glances from the Loose Cultivators at nearby tables.

"Shop Assistant!"

The Foundation Establishment Stage Shop Assistant, cowering in the corner, trembled at the faint coercion, then scurried forward, his face pale:

"Immortal Venerable... Immortal Venerable, what are your orders?"

"The dishes just served," Yao Delong casually pointed at the mess on the table after You Yuan and Qiong Shuang's 'raid',

"Bring another identical set."

The Shop Assistant's face turned even paler. He bowed, wiping sweat, and cautiously replied:

"Immortal Venerable, please allow me to explain... The... the Heavenly Mountain Snow Bud Pigeon, freshly slaughtered and preserved whole with ground vein cold spring Qi, only has three portions left for today. The Chu River Stir-fried Dragon Liver Shrimp's 'Startled Dragon Pattern' shrimp has just run out for this ten-day period, and the Song River Immortal Brew..."
