Chapter 867 Spicy Pot

Dong Zhenjiang was about to explode with anger. He thought Qin Haodong was just a freshman with low cultivation, so he wanted to show off his power as an old student and hook up with the beautiful girl.

But he didn’t expect that this guy was so cunning. He had obviously reached the late stage of the Apotheosis Realm, but he pretended to be a beginner.

He was humiliated publicly and lost more than 100 top-level Spirit Stones, which were all he had.

Qin Haodong didn’t care how he felt now. He said to Wang Dalei, “Mr. Wang, am I the winner of this competition?”

Wang Dalei nodded, “Of course you are.”

Qin Haodong came over to Dong Zhenjiang and said, “You’re defeated! Give me your stones!”

“What…”

Dong Zhenjiang wanted to eat his words, but he gave up when he saw Wang Dalei.

No one could violate the school rules unless he wanted to be expelled.

In desperation, he took out 100 top-level Spirit Stones from his Storage Ring and gave them to Qin Haodong.

“Thank you so much for your help.”

He now had 100 top-level Spirit Stones, plus the 20 stones he got before. Now he had enough money to buy the Star-Moon Bodhi Fruit.

Poor Dong Zhenjiang, who felt so ashamed and distressed, vomited blood again.

He pointed at Qin Haodong and shouted, “How dare you trick me? Just wait. My brother will avenge me.”

“Feel free to come and look for me if you have any more Spirit Stones.”

Qin Haodong put all the 120 top-level Spirit Stones into his Storage Ring and then left happily with Zhao Xingyue.

“Wow, amazing! How can you get so much money in such a short time?”

Zhao Xingyue asked with admiration.

Qin Haodong touched her delicate nose and said with a smile, “This is your credit. Those fools were attracted by your beauty.”

“Haodong, please don’t make fun of me,” Zhao Xingyue said shyly. “I’m hungry. Let’s go eat.”

“Okay, we made such a big sum of money. Let’s celebrate!”

“Great, I want something delicious.”

Zhao Xingyue took Qin Haodong’s arm and went to the canteen of the Tortoise Academy together.

It was time for dinner, and the canteen was crowded with students.

Qin Haodong took a seat. Since he was not familiar with the food here, he just waited for Zhao Xingyue to buy something.

After a while, she came back with a plate, on which there were four dishes and some steamed buns.

Qin Haodong was a little hungry, but he had no appetite when he caught sight of the dishes. They were just vegetables cooked in pure water.

But Zhao Xingyue looked quite satisfied. She picked up a piece of meat with the chopsticks and put it in her mouth. She kept nodding and said, “It’s so delicious. Brother Qin, try some. They are almost as delicious as the King… almost as delicious as my chef’s.”

She seemed to have mentioned something she should not say. She looked at Qin Haodong nervously, but he didn’t seem to catch it.

Maybe the dishes here didn’t look good, but they might taste very good?

Qin Haodong tried a piece of meat, but then immediately spat it into the trash can next to him after chewing it for a while.

“Hey! What is this? It tastes awful and has a fishy smell. How can we eat something like this!”

Looking at his expression, Zhao Xingyue asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? I think it’s delicious!”

“I got it. You haven’t eaten any delicious food yet. Let’s go back. I’ll make something good for you!”

Qin Haodong realized that the food here was much worse than that on the earth.

But that was quite normal. Even the Huaxia people had been cooking food in pure water before the Song Dynasty. Fancy cooking methods such as steaming and frying were created afterward.

Besides, in the whole world, no country could compete with Huaxia in cooking. It was the same in the Cultivation World, where he usually cooked for himself.

It was a pity that he only had cooking skills but no good ingredients then.

But things were different now. He had stored a lot of delicious food in the Storage Ring, and before he came here, he had taken away all the things in the warehouse of the Alien Demons. The food he had now was enough for several people to eat for 100 years.

Zhao Xingyue had been eating such things since she was a child, so she didn’t feel there was anything wrong with the food. But since Qin Haodong insisted, she followed him back to the dormitory.

The sun was setting now. Although the courtyard was still covered with golden sunlight, it was much cooler.

Qin Haodong put a table and a few chairs in the yard. Then he took out some pots and pans to cook.

Zhao Xingyue, who found these items unfamiliar, asked curiously, “Haodong, what are you doing?”

“Just wait and see. I’m sure you’ll want to eat it again.”

Qin Haodong made a spicy pot. It was a specialty dish of Sichuan and Chongqing. It was very delicious and spicy, hence its name.

The dish looked and smelled good.

“Haodong, what is this? Is it delicious?”

Although the Lingwu Continent was rich in Spiritual Qi, there were no such things as chili and pepper. That was why Zhao Xingyue was quite curious about the spicy pot.

Qin Haodong tried a piece of lotus root. “It tastes good. Try it. It’s much better than the garbage in the canteen.”

Zhao Xingyue had never seen such dishes before. She also put a piece of lotus root into her mouth.

She was a little cautious at first, but after a second, her beautiful eyes instantly widened and she swallowed it immediately.

“It’s amazing!”

Ever since they met, Zhao Xingyue had always maintained the image of a noble lady. She was well-behaved, elegant, and graceful.

But her mind was now controlled by the spicy hotpot. She could not think of anything else except for the spicy food. She put the ham, the tofu, and the potato chips into her mouth nonstop.

“Wow! It’s delicious!”

However, Zhao Xingyun, who had never tasted spicy food, soon suffered a lot. She kept fanning herself, trying to cool her burning mouth and tongue.

“What’s the taste? It’s so weird!”

Looking at Zhao Xingyue who was sweating, Qin Haodong smiled and said, “The dish is quite spicy. but you’ll get used to it.”

Zhao Xingyue stuck out her tongue and said, “It’s delicious, but it’s so spicy!”

“Well, just have a drop of this.”

Qin Haodong then gave her a glass of beer that had been iced by Icy Life Energy.

It was midsummer. During the hot summer evening, having spicy hotpot and drinking a glass of ice beer was perfect.

Zhao Xingyue took a big gulp. She felt so cool and comfortable that she cried, “It’s great! But what is this? I haven’t drunk such things.”

Qin Haodong said, “It’s beer. If you don’t like it, I have other drinks here.”

Then he gave her a bottle of iced carbonated drink.

Zhao Xingyue took a sip and nodded, “This is better.”

Qin Haodong smiled and said, “Just drink it. I still have a lot here.”

“Brother Qin, where did you get so much delicious food? I have never seen them before.”

Qin Haodong said, “I don’t know either. Master gave them to me.”

He left all the things that he could not explain to the imaginary master.

But Zhao Xingyue didn’t care so much now. She put her chopsticks into the spicy pot once again.

At this time, more than a dozen people gathered around Qin Haodong’s dormitory. They were students of the Tortoise Academy and all of them were attracted by the fragrance of the spicy pot.

They looked at the spicy pot with greedy eyes. It smelled so good and they had never smelled such rich flavors before.

Although they were all cultivation artists, they were far from being otherworldly in the Divine Realm.

A fat man in purple said, “What is this? Why does it smell so good?”

Qin Haodong put down his chopsticks, took a sip of ice beer, and said, “This is spicy pot.”

The fat man and others could not resist the temptation anymore. They all walked in.

The fat man looked at the spicy pot and asked eagerly, “Guys, can we have a taste of the spicy pot? We can pay for it.”

Qin Haodong suddenly had a good idea. Although he had 120 top-level Spirit Stones now, he was still a poor student in this college. It seemed that all these men were rich. Maybe he could get some stones from them.

He said, “Okay, one top-level Spirit Stone for a spicy pot.”

“It’s too expensive!”

They were all shocked. One top-level Spirit Stone was enough for them to eat in the canteen for a week.

Qin Haodong said, “It’s not expensive at all. You can’t have such delicious food anywhere else.”

Then he picked up another piece of brightly colored ham and enjoyed it.

He was very confident that no one else knew how to make the spicy pot dish in Lingwu Continent. Rare goods were naturally expensive and one top-level Spirit Stone was quite cheap for such delicious food.

Smelling the spicy pot, the fat man gave one top-level Spirit Stone to Qin Haodong. “I’m Zhang Dapeng and I’m living next to you. Please serve me the spicy pot.”

“No problem.”

Qin Haodong took out a dish, filled it with spicy food, and handed it to him.

Zhang Dapeng put a piece of potato chip into his mouth, chewed it for a few seconds, and then seemed to be intoxicated by the taste.

“Dude, how is it? Say something…”

“Hurry up and tell me! It smells so good, but I guess its taste is nothing special.”

“Hurry up and tell me if it tastes good…”

All those around looked at Zhang Dapeng eagerly. But the fat man seemed to have forgotten about them. He gobbled all the food in an instant.

“Ah… Yummy… But it’s so spicy!”

Zhang Dapeng was satisfied, but the food was spicy and made him uncomfortable. He looked at the golden beer in front of Qin Haodong and said, “Hey, could I have a drink?”

Qin Haodong said with a smile, “Of course, one top-level Spirit Stone for a cup.”
