As the founders of Come Again Barbecue Shop, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were naturally skilled.
This was evident back in Yanjing County. Now that Lu Yang had mastered the Three Flavours True Fire, his abilities had further improved.
Among those in the Foundation Establishment stage, Lu Yang was confident that no one could match his grilling skills.
Lu Yang shook the meat skewers, causing the cumin and chili powder to roll over the meat. When the fire hit them, the flavors were fully unleashed, making even Qin Yanyan, who preferred light flavors, swallow her saliva.
Come on, its ready!
Lu Yang placed two large handfuls of skewers onto the grill plate, producing a heavy thud that emphasized their weight.
Meng Jingzhou was also busy, grilling potato slices, chives, and tofu, emitting an aroma no less enticing than Lu Yangs.
Delicious! Father and Mother Li exclaimed after eating two skewers each. They were genuinely impressed, praising the students for their high cultivation and superb cooking skills, which made Li Haoran look inferior in comparison.
I want one too! Li Haoran had heard of the legendary skewers from Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Meng but had never had the chance to try them.
These were the skewers so delicious they once caused the downfall of the entire Undying Sect. (TL Note: Probably a reference to the phrase Country toppling beauty, we now have a Sect toppling skewer)
Delicious! Li Haorans eyes lit up. These were the best skewers hed ever tasted.
Qin Yanyan and Su Yiren initially ate delicately, but as the atmosphere grew more lively, they also relaxed.
Everyone ate to their hearts content, wearing satisfied expressions. Seeing their enjoyment, the Everlasting Fairy almost drooled with envy.
She was in a soul state, without taste buds, unable to eat anything.
Lu Yang, let me use your body. I want to eat too. The Everlasting Fairy negotiated with Lu Yang.
Lu Yang didnt mind and generously switched control of his body to the fairy.
The Everlasting Fairy joyfully took over Lu Yangs body, eating heartily without any reservation.
Haha, Senior Brother Lu, youre finally letting loose! Li Haoran laughed, noticing Senior Brother Lus previously refined eating habits had suddenly changed, now devouring skewers and drinking bamboo juice with gusto. Near Luofeng County, the red-leaf bamboo forests produced clear, sweet bamboo juice that many tourists loved to try.
Lu Yang sighed. As a fairy, couldnt she be a bit more reserved?
Ying Tian Immortal and the others also advised me to speak less in front of outsiders. They said that after much effort, they had managed to improve the public image of immortals, and I shouldnt ruin it.
But there are no outsiders here, the Everlasting Fairy didnt consider Lu Yang an outsider.
The problem is, youre using my body! Lu Yang retorted.
Come on, why differentiate between yours and mine? The Everlasting Fairy generously offered, When we find my inheritance, Ill give you half.
Lu Yang recalled that when he first met the Everlasting Fairy, she mentioned having buried an immortal treasure under the North Star, filled with her cherished items.
From what Lu Yang knew of the Everlasting Fairy, there probably wasnt anything valuable in there.
If thats not enough, Ill teach you a few immortal-level cooking techniques. The Everlasting Fairy considered Lu Yang her successor.
Lu Yang rolled his eyes but said nothing.
Setting aside this little episode known only to the two of them, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal.
Father and Mother Li arranged rooms for their guests.
After washing up, Lu Yang took out a half-human-sized pillow from his identity jade tag. He liked hugging something while sleeping.
With over ten years of sleeping experience, Lu Yang could sleep well anywhere and was not picky.
Early the next morning, Lu Yang woke up to find his pillow kicked to the foot of the bed, looking pitiful.
That little girl Su Yiren is thoughtful. The Everlasting Fairy suddenly remarked.
What do you mean?
While you were all asleep, she set up a formation in the courtyard. It wont do much for you, but for Li Haorans parents, it will subconsciously help them cultivate and infuse spiritual energy, slowly increasing their cultivation. It will take a long time to see effects, so they wont notice.
Lu Yang stretched as he walked out of his room. The weather was nice; it was cloudy and cool.
Lu Yang preferred cloudy days to sunny ones.
He saw Li Haoran practicing boxing and meditating in the courtyard.
Li Shidi, so diligent even at home? Lu Yang was surprised, thinking he had woken up early, only to find Li Haoran up even earlier and already training.
He didnt remember Li Haoran being this diligent at the Dao Seeking Sect.
Li Haoran seriously transmitted to Lu Yang, Senior Brother Lu, you dont know. Yesterday my parents were happy to see me back. From my experience, after sleeping on it, the next day theyll start scolding me for being lazy, only eating and sleeping at home.
Rather than getting scolded, Id better take action and pretend to be diligent. Its just for the morning; they wont mind what I do the rest of the day.
Lu Yang understood. He didnt expect such wisdom in this situation.
What Li Haoran didnt mention was that if Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou hadnt come, his parents would have pampered him for two more days. But with them around, the pampering time was greatly reduced!
Haoran, up so early? Mother Li beamed, seeing her son practicing so early, with Lu Yang standing nearby. She assumed Lu Yang was encouraging Haoran to cultivate.
Li Haoran:
He wanted to say, Mom, my fifth place in the Dao Seeking Sect isnt that bad.
Indeed, with Li Haorans talent, he would be the top in any first-rate or super-first-rate sect, and even in the Dao Seeking Sects previous cohorts, hed rank in the top three.
But this cohort had too many exceptional talents.
During breakfast, Su Yiren quietly ate, not mentioning the formation she set up last night. It seemed she didnt want anyone to know.
If not for Everlasting Fairy, Lu Yang wouldnt have known either.
Lets go for a walk in the county! Li Haoran invited Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou. After thinking for a moment, he also invited Qin Yanyan and Su Yiren.
Considering you are guests, Im inviting you. Dont overthink it. Li Haoran told Su Yiren.
Despite his words, Su Yiren smiled happily.
As they were about to set out, the initially overcast weather grew darker, with thickening clouds and faint thunder.
Its going to rain heavily. Li Haoran looked up regretfully. Luofeng County often had rain. Given the dark clouds, a heavy rain was imminent. Looks like we cant go out today.
Hearing this, Su Yiren struck the sky with a palm. The dark clouds instantly dissipated, revealing a clear, sunny sky.
Su Yiren smiled gently as if nothing had happened, Its sunny now, lets go out.
Li Haoran:
