138: drumstick
Half an Hour later.
The rich aroma of the Frog Legs Li Changfeng was roasting had already begun to spread.
Nan Qingyue swallowed hard, her eyes lighting up as she fixed her gaze intently on the Frog Legs roasting over the fire.
"Master, this Big Bird smells so good!" Nan Qingyue took a deep sniff.
Nan Qingyue had absolutely no doubts about Li Changfeng.
Since Li Changfeng said these Frog Legs were the Jiu Xiao Yun Bird, Nan Qingyue believed him completely.
Luckily, that guy Zhang Yun wasn't around, or he definitely would have exposed Li Changfeng's lie.
"Alright, stop calling it that. Actually, it has another name: Frog Legs," Li Changfeng chuckled. He really didn't want to deceive Little Qingle.
Hearing this.
Nan Qingyue nodded vigorously. "Yes, I understand, Master."
"Come on, Master, let me cut some down for you to try," Li Changfeng chuckled.
Speaking of which, Li Changfeng got to work. He took out a Dagger and carefully sliced off a Chicken Drumstick.
The most fragrant part of the Frog Legs was the Chicken Drumstick—it was not only meaty but also very plump.
Especially after being roasted over the fire, the remaining juices gave off a rich aroma.
Nan Qingyue couldn't wait any longer. She immediately stood up and took the Chicken Drumstick from Li Changfeng's hand.
"Thank you, Master!" Nan Qingyue nodded vigorously, eagerly taking the Chicken Drumstick from Li Changfeng's hand.
Then, Nan Qingyue took a huge bite, looking completely satisfied.
Nan Qingyue grinned, her eyes shining as she looked at Li Changfeng.
"How is it? Is it tasty?" Li Changfeng also looked slightly expectant, as this was his first time cooking.
If Nan Qingyue found it delicious, Li Changfeng could satisfy his vanity a little.
Isn't cooking just about getting praise from others?
Li Changfeng focused his gaze on Nan Qingyue.
"Delicious, delicious! Master, these Frog Legs are too delicious!" Nan Qingyue spoke while eating, her mouth completely stuffed.
"Eat more if it's good!" Li Changfeng was overjoyed upon hearing this.
He hadn't expected his first time roasting Chicken to turn out so well.
Li Changfeng carefully took out the Dagger and cut off the other Chicken Drumstick.
Li Changfeng handed it to Nan Qingyue. "Here, there's another piece!"
"But, Master, I've already eaten one. Why don't you keep this one?" Nan Qingyue smiled slightly, pushing the Chicken Drumstick back.
The Chicken Drumstick was delicious, but she couldn't eat too much.
How could she eat all of it when her Master hadn't even had a taste?
Nan Qingyue naturally understood Etiquette; good things must be shared with the Master.
"Master doesn't like to eat it, Little Qingle, you eat it," Li Changfeng said, telling a white lie.
Thinking back to when he was still in the 21st Century.
Li Changfeng had Chicken Drumsticks for every meal back then, and he didn't think they were anything special.
But after arriving in this Xuanhuan world.
Li Changfeng finally understood that Chicken Drumsticks were simply a Delicacy of the Mortal World!
The food here was simply awful—hard to swallow!
Besides relying on some Wild Fruits to fill his stomach, Li Changfeng had only been eating Spiritual Plants and spiritual fruits, which he was practically sick of.
"Really?" Nan Qingyue looked up, gazing at Li Changfeng with a small, expectant look.
"That's right!" Li Changfeng nodded.
"Then, Master, I'll really eat it?" Nan Qingyue asked cautiously.
"Eat. Little Qingle still needs to grow. Hurry up and eat," Li Changfeng reached out and gently patted Nan Qingyue's little head.
A long while later.
Nan Qingyue finally snapped out of her daze, her eyes shining, and she stopped being polite.
Nan Qingyue grabbed the Chicken Drumstick and shoved it straight into her mouth. This was simply the best thing she had ever eaten.
It was truly a Delicacy of the Mortal World!
Half an Incense Stick later.
Li Changfeng and Nan Qingyue had finished off the Frog Legs.
Nan Qingyue let out a satisfied burp.
"How was it? Are you full?" Li Changfeng smiled slightly.
"Master, I'm stuffed to death! This was the best meal I've ever had." Nan Qingyue smiled contentedly. "Master, can I still eat Roasted Frog Legs later?"
"It's simply too fragrant."
Nan Qingyue chuckled, having even licked the bones clean.
Watching this scene, a particularly wicked image actually flashed through Li Changfeng's mind... Li Changfeng swallowed hard, sucking in a cold breath.
"Master, what's wrong?" Nan Qingyue looked up at Li Changfeng, her small eyes making her look pitiful.
Nan Qingyue calmed herself, handing the bone in her hand to Li Changfeng.
"Master, do you want to eat it too? Here you go." Nan Qingyue was adorable; she actually handed the bone to Li Changfeng.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng quickly shook his head, sucking in a cold breath.
"No, Little Qingle, you misunderstood. Master doesn't want this bone. Quickly throw it away; bones can't be eaten." Li Changfeng quickly waved his hand.
Just now, Li Changfeng had been captivated by Nan Qingyue licking the bone, and he had an evil thought.
However, Li Changfeng certainly couldn't voice this thought, as it would be an insult to his status.
The dignified Young Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect couldn't be so depraved!
"Oh, Master, can't this bone be eaten? But I thought it felt so crispy," Nan Qingyue blinked, feeling curious.
As Nan Qingyue spoke, she reached out and grabbed another bone, continuing to lick it.
Li Changfeng felt utterly helpless. He had no choice but to stand up and turn his back to Nan Qingyue.
If he didn't see it, he wouldn't have those thoughts.
Why did this Little Girl have to be so alluring even when eating bones?
"If it's tasty, go ahead and eat it," Li Changfeng sighed.
Nan Qingyue couldn't resist it long ago; she actually ate the bones too?
She was simply a Foodie.
And a Major Foodie at that!
A long while later, Nan Qingyue let out a satisfied yawn, stretched, and slowly stood up.
"Master, I'm full." Nan Qingyue lightly tapped her toes and came to stand in front of Li Changfeng.
Nan Qingyue smiled slightly, beaming at Li Changfeng.
Li Changfeng nodded. "It's good that you're full."
"But, Master, are we going to keep waiting here? How much longer will it take?" Nan Qingyue looked a little disappointed in her eyes.
Nan Qingyue sucked in a cold breath; she still wanted to go and save Situ Jiu.
But even now, there was no sign of the Seven-Colored Powder.
Without the Seven-Colored Powder, she couldn't save Situ Jiu, and there was absolutely nothing she could do.
If they continued to stay here, she didn't know what would happen in the end.
"If no one comes by Noon, we will go to Yizhou City." Li Changfeng's eyes brightened; he had already planned this out.
Li Changfeng wouldn't place all his hopes on Wang Yi.
In matters like this, only he himself could be relied upon.
"Okay, Master!" Nan Qingyue nodded vigorously. Clearly, Li Changfeng's decision was exactly what she had been thinking.
