487: Tell and confess

“Where did you get this from!?” Fei Qingyan’s eyes widened; how did Xiao Feng hide something so large? And judging by the food, it must have just come out of the pot, still steaming...

“Eat first! We can talk while we eat.” Xiao Feng handed the large bowl to Fei Qingyan, then another bowl appeared in his own hand.

He and Fei Qingyan happily drank the soup and ate the mushrooms, using chopsticks made from local materials.

After one sip of the soup, Fei Qingyan and Xiao Feng forgot everything else and focused on eating.

Only after they were full did they savor the lingering taste in their mouths. At the same time, their stomachs continuously released “warm currents” that spread through their limbs and bones, making their entire bodies warm and nourished.

Not only that, but they also felt the internal energy within their bodies slowly growing stronger.

“This food…” Fei Qingyan felt her perception of the world being “impacted.” How could a bowl of mushroom soup be like eating a Great Rejuvenation Pill?

“Master, it’s like this…” Xiao Feng explained the Celestial Realms and the Cross-World Group to Fei Qingyan. As for his own system, he only briefly mentioned that he had such an ability.

“I never imagined you would have such an opportunity!” Fei Qingyan was shocked. What Xiao Feng said somewhat challenged her worldview.

She was completely bewildered, feeling a bit unreal, too fantastical!

“Master, I know it’s a bit too miraculous, but I didn’t want to hide it from you!” Xiao Feng said to Fei Qingyan.

“You shouldn’t have told me. Loose lips sink ships. You should keep these secrets to yourself. Even if they were exposed in front of me, I wouldn’t ask, nor would I speak of them…” Fei Qingyan shook her head slightly and said.

“I trust Master!” Xiao Feng shook his head and said, “Moreover, Master is the person I am closest to and trust the most!”

“…” Fei Qingyan pursed her lips.

“Alright, enough of that. Master, try this again.” Xiao Feng then took out two servings of quick-fried pig liver and three-colored brocade spirit chicken meatballs.

“Good!” Fei Qingyan smiled at the corner of her mouth, then took it and began to eat.

“This was made by a God of Cookery in the group,” Xiao Feng said.

“God of Cookery? He certainly lives up to the title! This deliciousness, and such effects… he deserves it!” Fei Qingyan nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

“By the way, don’t tell anyone else about this secret of yours, not even the Sect Master.” Fei Qingyan thought for a moment and said to Xiao Feng.

“Mhm! Don’t worry, Master, I’ll only tell you!” Xiao Feng nodded seriously and said to Fei Qingyan.

“Mhm~ Alright, I’m full. Let’s rest.” Fei Qingyan nodded and stood up, only then realizing that Xiao Feng had only set up one tent.

“…” Fei Qingyan pursed her lips, then turned to look at Xiao Feng: “Feng’er, why did you only set up one tent? Go get the other one from the horses.”

“No need, no need! Master, you sleep! I’ll keep watch for you!” Xiao Feng said to Fei Qingyan.

“Alright, I’ll relieve you in the latter half of the night,” Fei Qingyan said, then ducked into the tent.

However, Fei Qingyan did not sleep after entering the tent. Instead, she pondered for a long while in place. She didn’t know how much time had passed before she came back to her senses and entered a state of cultivation.

Xiao Feng watched the bonfire outside, quietly keeping watch. He seemed to be lost in thought, but his mind wasn’t on the tent. Instead, he was constantly practicing the Yan Yu Sword, wondering if he could improve it further.

The reason he first developed the Yan Yu Sword was because it was Fei Qingyan’s best and most frequently used martial art.

Early the next morning, Fei Qingyan emerged from the tent. Seeing that it was already light and seeing Xiao Feng by the bonfire, she couldn’t help but ask, “Why didn’t you wake me in the latter half of the night?”

While cultivating, she had become completely engrossed due to the delicious food, and all of that energy had already been “digested and absorbed” by her.

“It’s nothing! Just keeping watch, it’s not a big deal,” Xiao Feng said with a smile, “And I don’t feel tired.”

“Then I’ll keep watch tomorrow night,” Fei Qingyan said.

“It’s nothing! Really, it’s nothing!”

“No!”

“Master!”

“If you know I’m your Master, then listen to me!”

“Alright…”

Xiao Feng again prepared the gourmet three-piece set for Fei Qingyan: meatball + quick-fried pig liver, paired with mushroom soup.

“No matter how many times I eat it, it’s still so delicious!” Fei Qingyan couldn’t help but exclaim.

After eating their fill, they covered the fire pit and then continued on their journey.

Mythical Transcendent World.

Tang Mo looked at his shop, which was almost finished with renovations.

He officially opened for business. His savings were almost depleted, but of course, his goal wasn’t to earn a lot of money.

“Before opening, let’s do some more draws!” Tang Mo looked at his satisfaction points, which had already reached over twenty thousand, all from the “contributions” of the group members.

And ten thousand satisfaction points only allowed for one draw, so he drew twice.

[Congratulations! You have drawn the Recipe: Ginseng Roasted Chicken (Level 4)]

[Unlocked Ingredient: Millennium Ginseng (Level 3)]

[Unlocked Ingredient: Moonlight Spirit Chicken (Level 4)]

[Congratulations! You have drawn the Recipe: Rice Ball (Level 1)]

[Unlocked Ingredient: Spirit Rice (Level 2)]

Tang Mo’s eyes lit up. Roasted chicken + rice! Not bad, not bad!

Rice Ball (Level 1) Price: 500 per serving

Ginseng Roasted Chicken (Level 4) Price: 80,000 source points per chicken

Millennium Ginseng (Level 3): 2000 source points / 100 grams

Moonlight Spirit Chicken (Level 4): 2000 source points per chicken

Tang Mo put the new recipes on the menu and glanced at the ingredient prices. Hmm, very cheap!

Tang Mo’s restaurant was open, but throughout the entire day, only a few people came in.

This area was too remote, and there was almost no foot traffic. Most people wouldn’t come this way.

A few people finally came in, only to discover… the prices of the dishes on the wall, and they immediately ran away.

Holy cow! So remote! So expensive! Such a big shop… and there seemed to be only one young man, hardly any waitstaff… could it be a black market shop?

Being scammed was one thing, just losing money. But what if it was some transcendent incident, where they lost their lives? That would be a huge loss.

This also led to Tang Mo not having sold anything in his own world so far… instead, he had been constantly “exporting” to other worlds.
