Chapter 48: Cooking with Elder Jing (4)
“How is it?” Elder Jing asked nervously when she saw Yang Wei taking the first bite of her meat.
It has been a long time since she has ever cooked and it was the first time she ever cooked for a male.
Yang Wei savored the meat slowly for a while before swallowing it down his throat and turned to look at Elder Jing who was trembling.
Smiling brightly, Yang Wei said, “It’s delicious Jing Feng and I can’t help myself but want to eat more of your cooking.”
Yang Wei was genuine and was not sweet-talking as he believed this piece of meat he just ate to be the best food he ever tasted.
Even more than his own cooking as he does not know how long it has been to be able to taste someone’s cooking other than him.
Without noticing, tears started flowing out of Yang Wei’s eye, shocking Elder Jing that she thought the food was extremely bad.
“Y-Yang Wei, is the food really that bad? You can be honest with me and stop forcing yourself to take a second bite.” Elder Jing exclaimed as she tried to take meat away from him.
Although she was usually harsh on him, she wanted him to learn the reality and cruel world. She doesn’t want to give him a false scenery where everything is colorful even if she knows his mind is strong.
Yang Wei chuckled softly as he wiped some of his tears.
Afterward, he grabbed hold of Elder Jing’s hand to prevent her from taking away his plate.
Looking deeply in her eyes, Yang Wei said emotionally, “I’m crying tears of joy because of how delicious your cooking is. It was the best piece of meat I have ever tasted in my entire life.”
Elder Jing blushed a little bit and said, “If you like my meat then eat more but don’t cry again. I was scared that it tasted disgusting and you just wanted to compliment me to not make me feel bad.”
Elder Jing was in a happy mood that she wasn’t really terrible at cooking like she believed herself to be.
‘Seems like I have a talent in cooking just like in alchemy.’ Elder Jing smiled as she grabbed another piece of meat that she cooked before stuffing it in her mouth.
But a thunderstrike struck her brain when she tasted the meat. A confused expression occurred on her face as she looked at Yang Wei who was chomping down on her meat cheerfully.
‘My meat is not even as tasty as Yang Wei so why is he eating mine instead of his?’ Elder Jing was perplexed when she felt her meat was considered average.
It wasn’t as juicy and tenderized as Yang Wei’s meat.
When she took another bite, she already felt like stopping because it wasn’t even on par with his.
However, seeing Yang Wei was being genuine and eating her meat, Elder Jing’s heart melted softly from being appreciated for her effort.
Elder Jing decided to stop eating her piece of meat and allowed Yang Wei to eat them all as his stomach was like a black hole.
Yang Wei was eating everything extremely fast, almost like he was afraid of someone stealing his food.
‘Such a childish man,’ Elder Jing giggled softly when Yang Wei acted like a child.
As she prepared to cook some more meat for Yang Wei to enjoy, a loud boom occurred nearby the cave they’re in currently.
A dark and sullen expression appeared on Elder Jing’s face when she heard the sound of sword clanking and people fighting.
“I was just enjoying my moment and to think I get interrupted right now.” Elder Jing exclaimed in a fierce tone as she got up.
Yang Wei was shocked by the sudden fighting nearby but was even more frightened by the tone of Elder Jing.
‘E-Elder Jing is mad and she had an ice-cold look.’ Yang Wei said inwardly as he swallowed his meat unconsciously without biting it.
“Yang Wei, stop eating for now as we got some people who are seeking death. Also, make sure you have Xiao Wei hidden until it is an emergency.” Elder Jing ordered as she activated her spatial ring to grab her sword.
She was enraged and wanted to slice some limbs off of some people as she walked out.
Yang Wei didn’t dare to delay as he hurriedly followed behind with his sword held in hand to prepare for a fight.
A fight that would be imprinted in his memories forever when he witnessed the prowess of a Houtain realm cultivator when being enraged.
Booooom
As soon as Elder Jing deactivated her barrier, the noise became louder and they could feel an intense concentration of true qi on the west side of them.
The distance was a mere 15 kilometers away from them and since they’re near a high altitude, Yang Wei and Elder Jing could see the fight scene happening in front of them.
Currently, two sects with different robes colors are fighting fiercely among themselves, causing multiple trees to collapse.
A once beautiful forest was decimated in a matter of minutes.
Yang Wei could even see multiple Lightning Wolf and some other demonic beasts running away from the scene.
It was understandable since the demonic beasts are only around the Foundation Core and Core Formation realm.
Meanwhile, the two sects who are fighting against each other have people in the Nascent Soul realm.
It wasn’t just one single person but multiple so the demonic beasts would only be seeking their death if they’ve only stayed longer.
The Lightning Wolf who dared to fight against Yang Wei was because it couldn’t detect Elder Jing’s cultivation.
Also, it wasn’t afraid of Yang Wei since Elder Jing showed no intention in their fight and he was extremely hungry that his logic of thinking was messed up.
“Hmph, so it’s these two great sects, Burning Sword Sect and Azure Sword Sect fighting.” Elder Jing gnashed her teeth when she noticed the two sects who interrupted her cooking time.
Yang Wei stayed dead silent when he heard Elder Jing cursed aloud as he didn’t want to do anything that could enrage Elder Jing even more. ‘May the two sects rest in peace for offending Elder Jing.’
