His cooking is so delicious that he's become the darling of the entire cultivation world.

Chapter 46 Regret

Yun Ci opened the door and entered the courtyard.

Little White ran over, and Little Black also ran towards Yun Ci.

Just now, Xiao Hei must have been playing in the water, getting himself all wet, and his skin is shiny black.

Yun Ci closed the door, squatted down to pet Xiao Bai, and then patted Xiao Hei.

The feel is completely different.

Xiao Bai glanced at Xiao Hei with her purple eyes.

Little Black suddenly shuddered and immediately ran away, shrinking into the water to peek at Little White.

"Pfft, Little Black, why are you such a coward?"

Perhaps due to bloodline suppression, Xiao Hei was always afraid of Xiao Bai, but he had never seen Xiao Bai bully Xiao Hei.

Yun Ci smiled and patted Xiao Bai.

I ate lunch this afternoon, so I don't feel hungry now.

Yun Ci picked some fresh vegetables for Xiao Hei and put them in the rice bowl next to Xiao Hei's water basin.

I left a few pieces of beef jerky for Xiaobai.

"I'm going to lie down for a while. Little White and Little Black, if you're hungry, eat something else first."

With that, Yun Ci got up and walked into the house.

After the market fair ends, he's going to lie in bed and sleep in for a few days!

Yun Ci returned to her room and immediately collapsed onto the bed.

I should have earned a few hundred spirit stones these past few days... Hmm... I haven't taken my shoes off yet... Too lazy to get up...

Soon after, the sound of the young boy's soft breathing could be heard from inside the room.

When Xiaobai came in, he saw Yun Ci lying on the bed fast asleep without even taking off his shoes.

Its small body gradually began to glow.

There was no response for a long time.

Xiao Bai looked at the sleeping boy.

It seems it's still not working; my spiritual power hasn't recovered. Forget about transforming into human form, I can't even speak the human language.

Xiao Bai pulled the blanket over Yun Ci.

......

Meanwhile, at the Refining Peak.

When Chu Ziming returned to his cave, he saw Elder Chengxuan standing with his hands behind his back and a serious expression on his face.

Chu Ziming looked up at the sky. "Master, am I not too late? Hehe."

Elder Chengxuan's eyes were unreadable, and his tone was ambiguous, "You went to set up a stall with Yun Ci again?"

Chu Ziming nodded, "Mhm."

The bright-eyed boy said excitedly, "Master, let me tell you, Yun Ci's cooking today was especially delicious! Many people couldn't get any, but Yun Ci and I were the first to get some, hehe!"

Elder Chengxuan's expression was serious. "Didn't you bring a copy for your master?"

Chu Ziming was taken aback. Seeing his master's enigmatic face, he stammered, "I...I forgot."

"Hmph! You really are my good apprentice!" The last word was drawn out.

Chu Ziming lowered his head. "Master, I was wrong," he muttered softly, "You didn't tell me either..."

Elder Chengxuan, with his hands behind his back, took out a plate of food.

Chu Ziming's eyes widened. "Master, don't you have this? Where did you get it? I didn't see you go there."

Could it be that Master disguised himself and went to buy it?

Elder Chengxuan said leisurely, "That junior disciple Yunci had other disciples deliver it to me."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ziming...?

No, how could he not know?

"Hehe, Master, I'll bring you some next time too!"

Elder Chengxuan gave Chu Ziming a disdainful look, "Go back to your cultivation immediately."

"Yes, Master! Hehe, I'm off." Chu Ziming dashed back to his cave.

Elder Chengxuan withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and picked up a slice of braised meat with his chopsticks.

Mmm, it tastes delicious.

......

Danyao Pavilion.

No one may enter without an application; the disciples who bring the food wait outside.

Elder Huaiyuan came out and asked, "What is it?" He was taken aback when he saw the food in the hands of the disciple outside.

"Greetings, Elder Huaiyuan. This is from Yunci, who asked me to give it to you."

Elder Huaiyuan accepted it upon hearing this, saying, "Hehe, little Yunci is so thoughtful."

The disciple bowed respectfully again, "Elder Huaiyuan, I'm going back."

Elder Huaiyuan nodded and walked in with a smile, carrying the food.

The outer disciple walked up and glanced at the plaque with the three large characters "Dan Yao Ge" (丹药阁, meaning Pill Pavilion).

This is the Pill Pavilion.

I wonder if he'll ever get in there in his lifetime.

The outer disciple's expression was filled with longing, but then, as if he had thought of something, his resolve suddenly hardened!

Yun Ci once said that human will can overcome nature, and that outer disciples can also rely on hard work.

Senior Brother Xu formed his Golden Core after eating all the food made by Yun Ci.

He ate Yun Ci's food for free today, so he can definitely do the same!

The outer disciple quickened his pace, preparing to return to his cave to begin his cultivation.

......

A pavilion and tower stood amidst peach blossoms drifting in the wind, the surroundings as beautiful as a fairyland.

There were two tall, slender figures in the pavilion.

“Ji Qing, you chose to remove him from your ranks back then.”

Sect Leader Cangxuan picked up a chess piece, looked at the board, and placed it on a spot...

"Life is like a game of chess; once a move is made, there's no going back."

Upon hearing this, Immortal Venerable Jiqing lowered his eyes slightly, and his slender, fair fingers holding the chess piece paused for a second.

Without saying a word, he put down the chess piece.

Sect Leader Cang Xuan frowned slightly as he looked at the still indifferent and aloof man in front of him.

At this moment, a disciple walked over.

First, he bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Sect Leader! Greetings, Immortal Venerable! Sect Leader, the disciples outside say this was brought to you by Yun Ci."

As he spoke, the disciple looked at the food in his hand.

The rich aroma made me swallow hard.

Is this the food that Yun Ci made?

The Immortal Venerable Jiqing glanced over indifferently.

Sect Leader Cang Xuan was taken aback, not expecting Yun Ci to send him food.

Just as he was about to take it.

A flash of spiritual energy appeared, and the plate was already on the chessboard.

The pieces have also been shuffled...

But the Immortal Venerable Jiqing was completely unconcerned.

The usually composed Sect Leader Cang Xuan revealed a hint of helplessness on his face. "Ji Qing."

The disciple opened his eyes wide and quickly lowered his head.

Sect Leader Cang Xuan waved his hand, "You may leave now."

"Yes, the disciple retire."

After everyone left, Sect Leader Cangxuan sat down.

Seeing the person staring at the food in front of him but not touching it, he knew that Ji Qing would not eat food from the mortal realm.

"Ji Qing, don't tell me you... regret it."

As Sect Leader Cangxuan spoke, he thought of Yun Ci.

That young disciple was indeed simple and likable, and he found him quite agreeable.

The Immortal Venerable Jiqing had already stood up, dressed in white robes as pure as snow. "I'm leaving now."

He then vanished from the spot.

Sect Leader Cangxuan looked at the dishes on the chessboard and sighed.

They sat down and started eating.

I nodded. Although it lacked any particular charm, it had a perfect balance of salty and sweet flavors and a unique taste.

good to eat.

......

It got completely dark.

The small courtyard behind the mountain was quiet, with only fireflies flying through the air.

Boom!

The gate to the courtyard was pushed open.

Little White in the yard looked at the red-haired boy at the door.

Gu Yan pursed his lips slightly, looked around, and walked up to the white beast. "Is Yun Ci here?"

Xiao Bai neither nodded nor shook his head.

He didn't sense any malice from the red-haired boy.

Gu Yan was slightly annoyed. "I'm here to deliver something."

Xiao Bai saw what the red-haired boy was holding, paused when he saw something, and turned to look in the direction of the main house.

Gu Yan understood and got up to walk towards the main house.

Gu Yan walked to the door, looked at the door with a crack in it, and hesitated.

Frustrated, she ruffled her red hair.

She knocked on the door twice and said awkwardly, "Yun Ci, it's me."

There was no response from inside, and Gu Yan frowned.

Knocked again.

Still no response.

Gu Yan pushed the door open, somewhat annoyed. "Didn't you hear me?"

I never realized Yun Ci was so easily angered!

The room was completely silent, but those who cultivate immortality have strong senses.

Gu Yan immediately sensed that someone was inside the room.

Xiao Bai also ran in and ran to Yun Ci's bedside.

Gu Yan noticed the slightly bulging quilt on the bed in the inner room.

Xiao Bai sat on the edge of the bed. Gu Yan hesitated for a moment, then awkwardly walked over.

The commotion hadn't disturbed the little boy on the bed. He had his eyes gently closed, his hair was slightly curly, and his eyelashes were long. His sleeping face looked peaceful and adorable.

Gu Yan was stunned for a moment.

He recalled the first time he met Yun Ci, when the young boy stared at him with bright, watery eyes and called him Senior Brother Gu Yan.

But he later said so many hurtful things to Yun Ci.

Gu Yan became somewhat irritable.

Xiao Bai looked at the red-haired boy, feeling puzzled.

If you take this long to deliver something, Yun Ci will be woken up soon.

Although it had never seen Yun Ci being woken up.

Gu Yan took out a storage ring.

If Wen Miao were here, he would definitely recognize that this storage ring was produced by Lingxiao Pavilion and is extremely rare.

Lingxiao Pavilion has everything: top-grade pills, cultivation techniques, divine magic weapons, and even things from the Demon Realm.

Countless cultivators want to buy things from Lingxiao Pavilion, but things from Lingxiao Pavilion are not so easy to obtain.

Gu Yan thought for a moment and then placed the storage bag on Yun Ci's finger.

Yun Ci's hands were small and soft.

The storage ring was a bit too big when it was first put on, but after it was properly worn, it shrunk to the size of Yun Ci's finger.

"I've given you the storage ring, so don't take my previous words to heart."

Gu Yan muttered.

"Hmph..." The young boy on the bed stirred.

Gu Yan quickly shut his mouth, looking at Yun Ci. The red-haired boy's mind was racing, wondering what Yun Ci would say when he woke up.

As a result, the boy simply rolled over and stretched out one leg onto the blanket.

Gu Yan, “…”

He got up and looked around the room.

"Why isn't there even any lighting?"

The little black guy eating cucumbers outside, ? ? ?

Suddenly, I remembered that my second senior brother hadn't given Yun Ci the Night-Shining Pearl.

Gu Yan took out several palm-sized luminous pearls from his storage bag.

There was one in the inner room, one in the outer room, one on the table, one in the other two rooms, and one in the yard.

"These few are not enough. When Second Senior Brother comes back, we'll have to ask him for a few more."

Yun Ci was still sleeping.

Gu Yan stayed for a short while before leaving.
