Chapter 39: Enchanted Cilantro
Lin Qi started to be vigilant. After all, four-star Devil Beasts could appear in the forest at any time.
“Master, be careful!”
Jin Lingling held Lin Qi’s hand tightly and was feeling a little nervous.
The grass rustled slightly. Lin Qi could feel an unprecedented silence. There was no wind around him, and the movement of the grass was particularly suspicious.
Was it a human or a demonic beast?
Lin Qi plucked up his courage and slowly pushed the grass aside. What entered his sight was only a low-star pig beast, and it was not the least bit aggressive.
“Phew…”
He let out a long sigh, turned his head, and said to Jin Lingling, “It’s okay, let’s go back!”
At that point, the two of them were wide awake, and they had nothing to do.
Jin Lingling teased, “Master, why does Yu Meng wear a cloak all day? She even wears a veil to cover her face. She’s wearing it right now as she sleeps.”
Lin Qi actually had no clue why. Since he first met Yu Meng, he had never seen her face. Even when she ate, she only lifted up the veil just high enough for food to enter her mouth.
He had never seen her real face.
Jin Lingling and Lin Qi looked at each other and nodded as if they were thinking the same thing.
Then, the two of them slowly moved closer to remove the hood of Yu Meng’s cloak. They tiptoed and did not dare to make a sound.
Both of them knew of Yu Meng’s temper. If she knew about it, she would definitely freeze them into ice cubes.
After taking off the hood of her cloak, Lin Qi noticed that Yu Meng’s beautiful black hair was actually emitting a faint fragrance.
Lin Qi then took off her mysterious veil to see what she looked like.
“Wow!”
Even Jin Lingling could not help but mutter in a low voice. The scene in front of him made Lin Qi’s eyes widen.
Yu Meng’s delicate cheeks were snow white and slightly flushed. One could tell that her dignified and beautiful face was the type to belong to a wealthy family.
“I didn’t expect Yu Meng to be so beautiful!” She praised.
Jin Lingling’s eyes were full of envy.
Lin Qi also swallowed his saliva. He had not come back to his senses for a while. After Jin Lingling lightly nudged him, he slowly put the veil back on.
Unexpectedly, when he touched Yu Meng’s ear, he woke her up. It seemed that her ear was sensitive.
“Ah!”
Yu Meng woke up and stared at Lin Qi and Jin Lingling.
Jin Lingling suddenly raised her head and pretended to look around, as if the situation had nothing to do with her.
Surprisingly, she was alluding that Lin Qi had done everything by himself.
Lin Qi looked at Yu Meng in a daze, and the muscles at the corner of his mouth began to twitch.
“What are you doing here?” Yu Meng asked coldly.
Lin Qi blinked. “Well, I actually wanted to wake you up. It’s almost dawn!”
Yu Meng looked up. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. How was it dawn?
Immediately, Yu Meng reacted and found that her veil was only hanging on one side, and her cloak hood had been taken off.
“Lin Qi! You…”
Lin Qi quickly explained, “I, I just wanted to see what you really look like. I didn’t mean any harm, and I didn’t do anything bad to you.”
“B*stard!”
As soon as her voice sounded, she immediately picked up the magic staff beside her and roared, “Go away!”
The magic staff generated a freezing spell and froze Lin Qi’s hands and feet, locking them to the trunk of the big tree.
“Ahhh! I was wrong. I’m sorry, Yu Meng!”
Lin Qi began to beg for mercy, but for some reason, when Yu Meng was seen by others, her temper suddenly became worse.
On the other side, Jin Lingling did not dare to make a sound at all. She only whispered to Lin Qi, “Master, just bear with it!”
Seeing Yu Meng walking toward him menacingly, Lin Qi was regretful of his actions but he was not afraid.
Yu Meng had already picked up her magic staff to punish him when Lin Qi had an idea. He shouted at Yu Meng, “Wait!”
“I’ll make you something delicious, okay?”
After hearing that, Yu Meng quieted down a little as if she was recalling the delicacies that Lin Qi had made.
“What are you going to make this time?”
Lin Qi smiled awkwardly. “Put me down first.”
Yu Meng frowned. With a gentle wave of her hand, the ice on Lin Qi’s body was instantly removed.
Lin Qi took a deep breath and entered the system to see what was suitable for Yu Meng.
‘I got it!’
“Enchanted Cilantro!”
Enchanted Cilantro could increase the efficiency of mana regeneration.
Lin Qi immediately walked to the front of the cooking pot and pretended to be making delicious food. In actuality, he had already finished making it from the system.
Yu Meng and Jin Lingling both wanted to go over and take a look, but Lin Qi finished cooking the delicious food at lightning speed.
All of a sudden, a fragrance assailed their nostrils, and both Yu Meng and Jin Lingling were stunned.
Lin Qi held the plate of Enchanted Cilantro and said with a smile, “This is a method of making cilantro that I invented at the last minute.”
Looking over, it was just ordinary cilantro, but the fragrance was so tempting that both Yu Meng and Jin Lingling went over to have a taste.
“This, this taste is…”
Jin Lingling became skeptical after eating the cilantro.
“Don’t tell me there are… Drunken Flowers?”
Lin Qi blinked and entered the system to check the recipe. There really were ingredients like Drunken Flowers in the dish.
The sweet taste of the Drunken Flowers had been completely absorbed by the cilantro, but its effects could still be brought out. It could definitely stimulate the taste buds.
Only on Manula’s tree could there be Drunken Flowers. Those Drunken Flowers could make one feel light and dizzy just by smelling them, let alone eating them.
If one ate them, it was equivalent to drinking a large glass of alcohol.
Fortunately, Jin Lingling had a good tolerance for alcohol. After eating the Enchanted Cilantro, she began to feel dizzy, and her face was slightly red.
“Master…”
Before Lin Qi could react, Jin Lingling laid down, and so did Yu Meng on the other side. However, Yu Meng was different from Jin Lingling. She could not handle alcohol and started to act funny.
“Hahaha!”
Lin Qi was shocked. He had not expected Yu Meng to laugh like that. He quickly went over to help Yu Meng up. “Yu Meng, are you okay?”
Yu Meng’s eyes were blurry and her cheeks were red. She looked at Lin Qi with a faint smile.
“Lin Qi, hehe. Lin Qi, you b*stard!”
Lin Qi thought that she would tear him apart in anger, but he had not expected that Yu Meng was actually relaxed when she was drunk. Her hands were only hammering Lin Qi’s chest weakly. It did not hurt at all.
“B*stard…”
Lin Qi helped her up, but she grabbed Lin Qi’s clothes tightly.
“Oh no…”
Lin Qi realized that Yu Meng had already wrapped herself around him. The touch of her skin made Lin Qi’s heart palpitate..
