569: Chapter 569 Maybe eating something sweet will cheer me up?
"Mm, forget it, let's not talk about that~
Let's go, Su Yun! We're entering the city now!"
Meng Shuyan looked at the city gates not far away and spoke with an excited tone.
In the past, although she had left the Ancestral Land a few times,
she had only passed by this city on a spirit boat, looking down at it from the sky.
Now that she had the chance, she naturally wanted to have a good look around!
Such a bustling city was bound to be very interesting~
With her red lips slightly curled, Meng Shuyan transformed into a streak of light and descended from the sky, heading toward the city gates.
She didn't notice that the moment she descended,
Su Yun's expression changed instantly.
But soon, his expression returned to normal.
At this moment, Su Yun's heart felt a bit heavy.
Because he suddenly sensed that beyond this cultivation city before him, there was nothing further away.
That meant...
Revered Master, she...
By then, Meng Shuyan had already reached the city gates. Seeing that Su Yun hadn't followed, she immediately waved her fair hand.
"Su... Yun... what are you doing dazing off in the sky! Hurry over!"
"Coming!" Su Yun snapped out of his thoughts upon hearing her, replied, and took a step forward to catch up.
...
After entering the city.
Meng Shuyan's beautiful eyes lit up as she moved with elegant steps onto the busiest street.
Meanwhile, she looked left and right, as if everything in the city was incredibly novel to her.
Upon seeing Meng Shuyan and Su Yun, the roadside vendors called out enthusiastically:
"Young Master and Young Miss over there, come have a look~ Freshly baked Yao Beast meat pies, meat buns, dumplings...
They're delicious and can increase your cultivation! Very cheap, only one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones per portion."
"The latest rouge and powder, made from various precious Spiritual Plants!
There are also Spiritual Artifact jewelry designed and forged by a Great Master! Not only do they look good, but they can also be used in battle!
Young Miss over there~ would you like to buy one?"
"Spirit Flower Cakes made from precious spiritual flowers! Don't miss out as you pass by!
A thousand-year-old family craft, if it's not delicious, no Spirit Stones required!"
"Su Yun, look at this~ these pastries seem quite good!" Meng Shuyan's beautiful eyes fixed onto the Spirit Flower Cakes displayed at a certain stall.
Those Spirit Flower Cakes were colorful and vibrant, appearing to be made from different types of spiritual flowers.
The owner of the Spirit Flower Cake stall was a woman in green. Seeing that Meng Shuyan seemed interested in the cakes, she quickly said:
"Young Miss, you have great taste. These are all Spirit Flower Cakes made from various spiritual flowers.
This blue one is made from Ice Mist Flowers, it has a cool and sweet taste!
That red one is made from Crimson Lotus Flowers, it tastes sweet and fragrant..."
"Is it really that good?" Hearing this, Meng Shuyan flashed forward, her eyes blinking as she carefully examined the Spirit Flower Cakes.
"Of course it's good!" The woman in green nodded. "If it's not good, no Spirit Stones required."
"Then I'll buy two of every kind!"
"Coming right up~ I'll wrap them up for you, Young Miss!"
The woman in green deftly took out several spiritual leaves, wrapped up the various colored Spirit Flower Cakes, and handed them to Meng Shuyan.
Meng Shuyan directly produced a bag of Spirit Stones and bought the cakes.
At this moment, she suddenly noticed that ever since Su Yun followed her into the city, he seemed to have remained silent, as if he was in a bad mood.
Could he have something on his mind?
She kind of wanted to know.
But she and Su Yun had only just met.
It wasn't appropriate to ask him directly!
Right, maybe eating something sweet would make him feel better?
Meng Shuyan's beautiful eyes shifted as she took one of the packages of Spirit Flower Cakes from her bosom and handed it to Su Yun.
"Su Yun, take this! This lady is treating you to Spirit Flower Cakes~"
"Alright, thank you, Revered Master!" Because Su Yun was lost in thought, he answered instinctively.
"Eh? Mas... ter?" Meng Shuyan looked at Su Yun with some suspicion.
Earlier, Su Yun had also started to say the word 'Revered Master'.
She hadn't thought much of it then, as Su Yun said it was a slip of the tongue, but she didn't expect him to say it again.
And he specifically said 'Revered Master'.
She couldn't have misheard it this time, could she?
Why was Su Yun calling her Revered Master?
Could it be that his Revered Master looks very similar to her?
"Cough, it's nothing. I was dazing off just now, so I misspoke." Su Yun gave a slight smile and took the Spirit Flower Cakes. "Thank you, Miss Shuyan!"
He was so used to calling her Revered Master in the past that he hadn't reacted in time.
"Oh... okay, then hurry up and try some!" After saying that, Meng Shuyan extended her slender fingers, gently picked up a piece of Spirit Flower Cake, and placed it into her small cherry mouth.
Actually, she wanted to continue asking about Su Yun's Revered Master.
But the delicious food was right in front of her.
She would ask Su Yun after she finished eating.
Hmph, she believed things weren't that simple. How could he possibly slip up twice? There was definitely something fishy!
As she thought, Meng Shuyan didn't forget to carefully savor the Spirit Flower Cake.
Then, her beautiful eyes widened, and she spoke excitedly, "Mmm~ this... is so sweet! I like it!"
It was her first time eating this kind of pastry, and the taste was surprisingly good.
Although she could occasionally taste many delicacies within the clan,
the purpose of making those spiritual foods was mainly to better promote the improvement of cultivation.
Therefore, they just contained more spiritual energy, and the taste wasn't necessarily good.
"Su Yun... why haven't you eaten yet? It's really delicious!"
Meng Shuyan looked at Su Yun with sparkling eyes.
As she spoke, she couldn't help but eat a few more pieces of Spirit Flower Cake. Before she had even finished, she put a few more pieces into her mouth, her little face puffed up, looking quite adorable.
"Okay, I got it." Seeing this, Su Yun was almost dazed, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Wait? Who could resist such an adorable Revered Master?
But these Spirit Flower Cakes are probably tasteless, right?
After all, this is inside a dream.
Thinking this, Su Yun looked at the different colored Spirit Flower Cakes wrapped in the leaf in his hand.
He didn't really choose and just picked up a white Spirit Flower Cake at random, taking a light bite: "Eh? It's sweet?"
It actually had a taste?
Wasn't this a dream?
How could this be?
Could it be because Revered Master had eaten these Spirit Flower Cakes and remembered the taste,
so it was also manifested in the dream?
Whereas Revered Master hadn't seemed to eat the delicacies at that banquet earlier, so they had no taste?
This dream is way too realistic, isn't it?
"Su Yun, it's not bad, right!" Meng Shuyan said with a beaming smile.
"It's very good. Miss Shuyan, you have quite good taste!" Su Yun agreed.
He also finished the Spirit Flower Cakes in his hand in a few bites.
Since it was Revered Master's kindness, he would naturally accept it all~
"Then do you want more? I bought a lot, there's more here."
"No need, you eat!" Su Yun shook his head.
