BXBX NOVEL Chapter 47: Cooking with Elder Jing (3)
“What was that?” Yang Wei stood up and tried to look for the source.
Elder Jing also became wary as she used her spiritual sense to see what’s going to happen.
However, her lips soon curved upward as she ordered Yang Wei to sit back down.
Yang Wei was confused but in the end, he nodded his head as he sat back down before staring at Elder Jing for an explanation.
Elder Jing chuckled as she exclaimed, “It has nothing to do with us, Yang Wei. Just two sects fighting each other as they are trying to get a treasure.”
When Yang Wei heard Elder Jing’s word, he instantly understood it was the sound of fighting between two sects who wanted to obtain the treasure for themselves.
They were all friendly and smiling at each other in the gathering but once they’re inside, all facade has been brushed off as they exposed their true self.
“I see, no wonder you’re smiling at their fighting.” Yang Wei said as he wasn’t going to bother with their fighting.
“Of course I’m smiling. Two greedy sects that want to grab the treasure for themselves and start fighting each other in the mystery realm is a disgrace.” Elder Jing sneered as she had seen her fair share of these kinds of situations.
Yang Wei continued to finish his meat before grabbing another raw meat but this time, he didn’t season it.
Instead, he glanced at Elder Jing and waited for her response. Elder Jing saw his glance and pondered for a few moments.
Afterward, she said, “Alright, I try to cook this piece of meat but you must guide me properly. Otherwise, I’ll make you swallow the entire meat if it tastes terrible.”
Originally, she had lost all interest in cooking since she couldn’t comprehend the technique Yang Wei did but now she is in the mood.
“Yang Wei, do you want to make a bet on which sect will come out victorious and how many people would die?” Elder Jing asked mischievously as she held one of the condiments.
Yang Wei wrinkled his eyebrow before saying, “I wouldn’t know the answer to this gamble because I can’t detect them at all with my measly spiritual sense.”
Elder Jing was able to sense them because of her superior cultivation base but Yang Wei was different.
He was still in the 8th stage Qi Condensation realm and currently in a bottleneck despite the previous fighting with the Lightning Wolf.
Elder Jing saw Yang Wei sighing and knew what he was thinking again.
“Yang Wei, remember, cultivation base is never a thing to rush for. You must create a solid foundation before advancing to the next stage.” Elder Jing said and continued.
“Honestly, it was already an amazing feat for you to be able to become the 8th stage Qi Condensation realm in this short amount of time. It took me a long time to get to my current realm.”
Yang Wei raised his eyebrow in suspicion as he was pretty sure Elder Jing was not much older than him yet she was already in the Houtian realm.
Elder Jing sighed as she explained how she got to her current stage was because of her family resources and the pills she got.
Yang Wei listened in detail and held a gawking expression when he found out that Elder Jing used to consume pills like cabbages in the street.
“Sigh, no wonder why I got rejected harshly. We are indeed separated by our status that is as vast as heaven and Earth,” Yang Wei said when he found out how ridiculous his action was.
He was like a frog in the well that believed Elder Jing was just a sect elder in the third-rate sect. Now that he figured out a little bit of her true identity, he was akin to a toad trying to eat swan meat.
Meanwhile, Elder Jing became sullen as she flicked her hand at Yang Wei’s forehead, hitting it extremely hard.
Yang Wei didn’t scream in agony but still rubbed his forehead with his hand as he looked at her pitifully.
His expression was asking why she suddenly hit his forehead as he did nothing wrong.
“Speak nonsense like that again and I will thrash you harder,” Elder Jing said solemnly as she warned Yang Wei.
Yang Wei hurriedly nodded his head as he complied with her request. ‘Why is Elder Jing suddenly so serious and mad at me?’
Although Yang Wei did not know why Elder Jing would become furious at his remark, he was not willing to pry for more information.
‘Hmph, to make someone fall in love with you has nothing to do with status. It’s about your dedication and motivation in winning a maiden’s heart.’ Elder Jing exclaimed inwardly as she gave an ice-cold look at Yang Wei.
She wasn’t joking when she said she would thrash him really hard if he spouted such nonsense in front of her again.
Seeing the tamed behavior of Yang Wei, Elder Jing sighed in the end as she asked Yang Wei for instruction on seasoning the meat.
She was still hungry and one piece of meat will never be enough to fill her stomach.
It may make her seem like a gluttonous woman but she didn’t mind letting Yang Wei know that she was no different than other women despite being a Houtian realm cultivator.
Yang Wei didn’t think further like Elder Jing as he was excited to show her the steps in cooking.
“We will first season the meat with these two condiments so then the flavor can be enhanced once we bring it to the fire. Also, the meat is already beaten previously so once it is cooked, the meat will become tender and melts directly in your mouth.”
Yang Wei instructed as he held Elder Jing’s hand to lightly pour some of the seasonings on the meat.
Elder Jing didn’t say anything as she allowed Yang Wei’s hand to guide her.
A few moments later, Elder Jing got the hang of it as she seasoned the rest of the meat happily.
