99: Healing Burning Meat Sect!

You activated Spirit Food Battle.

Spirit Food Battle's effect today: Self-healing ability increased by 100%, works even better when combined with healing methods.

After a brief moment of surprise, you went to the kitchen to look for meat.

Of course, beef was excluded.

You found some lamb and pork, along with some vegetables.

You started grilling the meat, and the aroma instantly spread for miles.

Meng Yun leisurely sat in the spacious courtyard, gazing at the pavilions, fountains, and rockeries, as he lit the charcoal and began grilling.

Wisps of smoke curled upwards, and the aroma instantly wafted away.

"Sniff, sniff~"

The first to smell the scent was the maid, Yu'er, who lived in the servants' quarters. Initially, intimidated by Shangguan Qing's intimidating presence, she would never have dared to come out.

However, Meng Yun's grilled meat was simply too fragrant. Even Meng Yun himself couldn't help but drool, let alone Yu'er, who had never seen much of the world!

Products from the system are always top-notch.

"Gulp..." Yu'er swallowed her saliva frantically and finally couldn't resist, peeking out through the crack in the door.

Shangguan Qing was nowhere to be seen for a long time.

Finally, she mustered her courage and pushed the door open.

Meanwhile, Meng Yun was salivating while flipping the grilled lamb. The sizzling, oily meat had completely captivated him.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps from behind him.

"Shangguan Qing, you can't resist eating my... Hmm?

Yu'er, why is it you?"

Meng Yun was startled.

He had originally fantasized about luring Shangguan Qing out with this divine culinary skill.

The fish had indeed taken the bait.

But it wasn't Qing'er, it was Yu'er.

"Young Master Meng... your grilled meat is too fragrant, I, I just can't resist anymore~"

Yu'er was a bit shy for a moment, but even as she spoke, her gaze remained fixed on the grilled meat, refusing to let go.

"Want some?"

Meng Yun took out a freshly grilled skewer and brushed it back and forth in front of the girl's nose.

"Mmm, mmm, mmm!"

Yu'er nodded like a pecking chick, her drool almost flowing down.

"If you cut your finger, I'll give it to you... Hmm?"

Before Meng Yun could finish his sentence, Yu'er had already cut her index finger with her spiritual energy.

Meng Yun was dumbfounded and mechanically handed her the meat skewer.

Yu'er's eyes lit up. She quickly took it, opened her gaping mouth, and devoured it, not even caring that it was hot.

"Mmm-mmm, so good, so good~"

Yu'er made such sounds.

"Don't just focus on eating. Use your spiritual energy and try to heal the wound," Meng Yun reminded her from the side.

Yu'er herself was at the Foundation Establishment stage, but she hadn't become anyone's cauldron. If she ever reached the Golden Core stage, she would also go to the front lines to fight.

"Self-healing?"

Yu'er, who had finished one skewer, was still craving more, but she could only obey Meng Yun's request.

Spiritual energy instantly enveloped her finger.

The wound actually began to heal rapidly at a visible speed.

"When did my self-healing ability become so powerful?!" Yu'er's eyes widened.

"It's fine, here's another skewer for you. Go play, alright?"

Meng Yun casually handed her a skewer and sent her away.

He hadn't expected the first two skewers to be eaten by her.

Never mind,

Consider it... a little perk for the guinea pig.

What? You're asking why Meng Yun didn't experiment on himself?

Nonsense, he's so afraid of death, what if he gets tetanus from cutting his finger!

Shangguan Qing stood by her boudoir window, taking in the scene of Meng Yun feeding Yu'er.

In the girl's heart, a certain emotion began to surge.

She had fought on the battlefield for two months, escaping death several times, yet she had never experienced such a great emotional fluctuation.

It was just Meng Yun.

He ate her food, lived in her house, and used her things.

Not only did he boss around her maid, but he also exchanged glances, flirted, and showed affection with her maid.

This hatred will never end...

Click.

The last sliver of the window closed.

A certain inexplicable low pressure began to permeate her boudoir.

"Grrr..."

Shangguan Qing sat by the bed, sniffing the scent of grilled meat that relentlessly invaded even with the doors and windows tightly shut. Her stomach finally rumbled uncontrollably.

She had returned from the battlefield and rushed home without a moment's rest.

She hadn't even returned to the main residence, coming straight to the side hall where Meng Yun resided as soon as she got home.

Hmm...

To cultivate with him.

And then be... massaged and taken advantage of by him.

She hadn't had a drop of water since.

What did she get in return?

Being bullied by Meng Yun.

And him acting like a cuckold in front of her.

Picking up the teapot, Shangguan Qing's pretty face was frosty as she silently refilled her cup with tea.

She swore she would never come to Meng Yun's place again.

Not for a week.

Not for three days!

Two days, two days would be fine, right?!

"Creak."

Her door was suddenly pushed open.

The aroma of grilled meat rushed straight towards her.

"Oh, tea with grilled meat, you really know how to enjoy yourself!"

Indeed, it was Meng Yun who had arrived.

He had grilled a dozen skewers, a mix of meat and vegetables, and brought them all to Shangguan Qing.

In Shangguan Qing's eyes, a hint of surprise, and a faint, uncontrollable joy, emerged.

It turned out that Meng Yun still cared about her after all.

Yu'er had eaten two skewers.

But Meng Yun brought her more than twelve skewers.

Placing the metal tray on the table, Meng Yun raised an eyebrow, indicating:

"Want to try my cooking?

If I succeed, I'll really open a grilled meat sect!"

He had even thought of the sect's name—

Healing Barbecue Sect!

Barbecue Sect, we'll give you sour, sweet, bitter, or spicy whenever you want!

Shangguan Qing glanced at Meng Yun, the frost on her face having already melted away. She reached out and took a skewer of grilled meat.

The iron skewer was a bit hot, but at the Nascent Soul Realm, she could completely tolerate it.

Though she didn't want to admit it,

The aroma of the grilled meat had already made her unable to resist any longer.

However, with Meng Yun standing beside her, smiling and staring intently, Shangguan Qing had no choice but to delicately part her cherry lips and gently tear off a piece of meat with her pearly teeth.

The firm, chewy texture of the meat danced and bounced in her mouth, and the savory and spicy taste instantly bloomed on her tongue.

A delicious taste on the tip of her tongue.

Shangguan Qing's pupils instantly dilated.

In this world, there was such delicious grilled meat?

She tore off another piece.

And bit off another piece.

A large mouthful, stirred in her mouth with her lips and tongue, thoroughly mixed with the girl's saliva.

Unknowingly, a large skewer of grilled meat, weighing half a pound, was eaten by her just like that.

Shangguan Qing narrowed her eyes in satisfaction, chewing and savoring it carefully.

Meng Yun stroked his chin, extremely pleased with the girl's eating habits.

This girl, she was enjoying her meal.

However, should he perhaps prepare some sauce in the future to make his grilled meat even better?

It wasn't until Shangguan Qing had completely swallowed the last bit of meat in her mouth that she belatedly realized her engrossed eating posture.

She cautiously glanced at Meng Yun, saw him frowning, seemingly deep in thought, and then quietly breathed a sigh of relief, eagerly grabbing another iron skewer...

But a blush still unconsciously crept onto her cheeks.

Meng Yun: ...

Honestly speaking.

Pretending not to see was still very tiring, you know.

After all, Shangguan Qing was so beautiful, and her posture while eating was truly adorable and charming.

She was simply a feast for the eyes.

Finally, Shangguan Qing ate two-thirds of the grilled meat.

Actually, she wasn't full yet. As a dignified Nascent Soul, this much meat wasn't even enough to fill her teeth.

But to avoid embarrassing herself in front of Meng Yun, she still voluntarily stopped at the appropriate time.

"Shangguan Qing, come and check your wound?"

Meng Yun finally spoke up to remind her.

Shangguan Qing had eaten so much, her recovery speed must have been maximized.

"Wound? What's there to..."

Shangguan Qing was puzzled, but she still obediently checked it.

Upon seeing it, her pupils widened, and she was instantly surprised and delighted.

Her wound, which had already faded by more than half under Meng Yun's massage, had now faded by more than another half after eating a meal of grilled meat!

"Meng Yun, this is...?"

After her initial delight, Shangguan Qing quickly reacted.

She asked the above question with a hint of hesitation and a hidden touch of anticipation.

Meng Yun smiled faintly and nodded: "Specially made for you, healing grilled meat, do you like it?"

Shangguan Qing didn't answer.

But the blush on her face had already answered everything.

"Meng... Yun, wait, will you massage me again later...?

You weren't finished just now."

Meng Yun could hardly believe his ears.
