486: Deteriorating "filial piety"

The other two, seeing this, immediately flew up with their swords and charged towards Fei Qingyan.

Fei Qingyan's gaze flickered slightly, and the long sword at her waist instantly unsheathed.

Clang! Sword light flashed.

Thump! Thump!

The two men seemed to have flown out only to fall uncontrollably to the ground.

Two streaks of blood appeared on their necks.

These five people were only at the Second Realm of the Acquired Level, yet they were so arrogant; the three kicked by Xiao Feng had already lost their breath.

With Xiao Feng's cultivation at the Third Realm of the Acquired Level, plus the quality of the cultivation techniques and martial arts he practiced, kicking these three to death was no problem at all.

"Are you alright, Master?" Xiao Feng walked back and asked Fei Qingyan.

"What could possibly happen to me?" Fei Qingyan couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"These five people... are they alright?" Xiao Feng looked at the five corpses on the ground, his brows furrowing slightly.

"What could happen? Dead people are normal," Fei Qingyan said, shaking her head slightly.

"Alright! Master, wait for me, I'll collect some spoils of war." Xiao Feng nodded; if Master said it was fine, then it was fine.

So Xiao Feng searched them, finding over thirty taels of silver, quite wealthy!

Then there was some rations and such, which Xiao Feng disdainfully threw away.

"That's all, Master, here." Xiao Feng handed the silver to Fei Qingyan.

"You keep it." Fei Qingyan waved her hand, saying that although thirty taels of silver wasn't a lot, it wasn't a small amount either, as a family of three only spent a little over ten taels of silver a month.

"Thank you, Master!" Xiao Feng didn't refuse; anyway, what was his was Master's, and Master... hmm! Is mine!

Xiao Feng mounted his horse.

"Let's go." Fei Qingyan looked at Xiao Feng, who was leaning against her again, sighed softly, and continued their journey.

The corpses on the ground were left unattended.

Xiao Feng felt Fei Qingyan's softness and couldn't help but feel a little restless; in fact, his feelings for Fei Qingyan had always been very complex, after all, from childhood until now, whether it was the grace of saving his life, the grace of raising him, or the master-disciple affection.

And all this time, the only "man" by Master's side had been him.

All of Fei Qingyan's gentleness had also been given to him.

It would be false to say that Xiao Feng had no thoughts, and what's more, Xiao Feng had long ago sworn that he would always protect Fei Qingyan.

In the past, he didn't have the courage, and that affection naturally remained hidden in his heart.

However, with the System and joining the Cross-World Group, Xiao Feng's root bone and comprehension improved.

He now felt "confident"!

With confidence, his backbone naturally stiffened.

Now, that affection of his had resurfaced.

Of course, he had also remained unchanged; he had long decided to dedicate his life to fulfilling the vow to protect Fei Qingyan.

If Fei Qingyan had someone she liked, then he would simply protect her silently.

Of course, as far as he knew, let alone having someone she liked, Fei Qingyan had probably only had intimate contact with him among men all these years.

Moreover, Fei Qingyan had always been quite aloof towards others.

Not to the point of being cold, but she wouldn't show much reaction.

The sun was about to set.

Fei Qingyan found a spot to set up camp, with a stream nearby.

"Master, you rest! I'll do it!" Xiao Feng quickly said, and without waiting for Fei Qingyan's consent, he directly pressed her down onto a stone to sit.

Then Xiao Feng started a fire and set up the tent.

He did it very skillfully, clearly very familiar with these things, but Xiao Feng hadn't been out much, so he must have secretly practiced them with such intentions in mind.

"Um, Master, please wait for me a moment! I'll find you something!" Xiao Feng set up the fire pit, with a bonfire underneath, then ran towards the nearby stream.

Fei Qingyan sat to the side, hands resting on her thighs, palm supporting her chin, watching Xiao Feng busy himself, a faint smile curving her lips.

Feng'er has grown up!

Soon, Xiao Feng returned with three palm-sized fish.

They seemed to have been cleaned already, skewered with branches, ready for grilling.

He took out the simple seasonings he carried with him and sprinkled them on.

"You even brought seasonings!" Fei Qingyan raised an eyebrow when she saw Xiao Feng take out several bottles of seasonings; she hadn't expected Xiao Feng to bring them.

Normally, when traveling far, she would also carry a small satchel with money and seasonings inside.

"Of course! I saw you forgot to bring them, Master, so I brought them along." Xiao Feng smiled, explaining that he had already put many things in his System space.

Speaking of this, Fei Qingyan's face couldn't help but flush slightly; this was her oversight.

After all, she was originally going to be a "teacher" and guide Xiao Feng, but who would have thought...

"Oh, right, Master, I'll give you something delicious later!" Xiao Feng suddenly curved his lips and said to Fei Qingyan.

"Hmm? What's delicious?" Fei Qingyan's eyes lit up when she heard Xiao Feng's words.

People take food as their heaven, and Fei Qingyan was no exception; she was also a foodie.

It's just that she wouldn't usually show her true self to others.

It would be better in the sect, and when she was with Xiao Feng, she would naturally be even more authentic.

After all, Xiao Feng and her had a truly unusual, very special relationship.

"You'll know later!" Xiao Feng smiled mysteriously, piquing Fei Qingyan's appetite.

Fei Qingyan pouted, clearly having her appetite piqued and feeling a hint of dissatisfaction.

Xiao Feng saw Fei Qingyan's girlish demeanor, and the contrast of the mature woman's cuteness instantly captivated him.

"What are you looking at!" Fei Qingyan said, pursing her lips, seeing Xiao Feng gazing at her infatuatedly.

"Ah!? That... Master, you're so beautiful!" Xiao Feng praised her earnestly.

Sincerity is a killer move; Xiao Feng's straightforward and earnest praise made Fei Qingyan's eyes flicker: "That... that's natural! Who doesn't know my Master's beauty! Oh dear! Look at your fish, it's about to burn!"

As soon as Fei Qingyan spoke, Xiao Feng hurriedly fiddled with the grilled fish, finding that the skin had already charred.

"Hiss~ Looks like I messed up!" Xiao Feng pouted, looking at the slightly charred grilled fish.

"It's fine! As long as it's cooked, and it's not too charred." Fei Qingyan proactively took a fish and took a small bite: "Hmm~ It tastes pretty good, with a slight charred flavor, which actually adds a bit of a toasted aroma, and the taste of the fish combined with the seasoning, it's not bad! Really! You try it!"

"Hmm~ Is that so..." Xiao Feng took a bite himself. Hmm! It was pretty much as Fei Qingyan said, indeed not that bad, but it wasn't perfect, which left him a little regretful.

Although it wasn't the first time he had cooked for Fei Qingyan, this was the first time they were having a picnic in the wild!

Soon after, the grilled fish was finished.

"Where's that delicious thing you mentioned?" Fei Qingyan licked her lips; as martial artists, those few fish were nowhere near enough to eat.

"Wait a moment, I'll perform a trick for you!" Xiao Feng curved his lips, then reached his hand behind his back.

Then, a large bowl appeared in his hand, filled with soup, and many mushrooms could be seen inside.

Immediately after, an unusually tempting aroma and rich umami scent directly wafted into Fei Qingyan's nose.

Xiao Feng also smelled it.

He couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva himself.

Good heavens! This is too fragrant! As expected of the God of Cookery in the group!

No wonder everyone praised Tang Mo! And they said Tang Mo's delicacies all had powerful effects; they weren't just delicious food, but also medicinal cuisine!
