Chapter 1257 - White Emerald Jade Soup
Each time He Yingwu caught the faint smile at the corner of Liu Wuxie's lips, his heart skipped a beat.
"Wuxie, don't tell me you're planning to con others again," He Yingwu whispered. From his understanding of Liu Wuxie, this meal couldn't possibly be just for fun. There had to be a plan hidden beneath his calm demeanor.
After all, Liu Wuxie had once fooled the Immortal Slaughter Palace, Mu Heng, Sheng Yue, the War Dragon Institute, and even the Dharma Institute. He had outsmarted them all.
"Even food can't shut your mouth!" Liu Wuxie shot He Yingwu a glare as the dishes arrived. The chefs prepared each plate exquisitely, crafting every detail so flawlessly that no one could resist with just a glance.
"Uncle He, can you tell me how my master cons others?" Xiao Luo asked innocently. She stuffed her mouth with a Divine Dragon Hand, chewing with bliss as oil glistened on her lips.
"Ahem, you'll find out in time," He Yingwu said, dodging the question. He grabbed a piece of Azure Bee Buddha Fang and bit into it, juices bursting across his tongue; it was the most delicious thing he had ever tasted.
"It's delicious!" Xiao Luo exclaimed, utterly absorbed in her food. The dishes melted the moment they touched her tongue. These were no ordinary foods; the chefs crafted them with the very laws of heaven and earth.
"These aren't common dishes. This Divine Dragon Hand is condensed with dragon aura, holding a trace of divine dragon essence. It can strengthen the physique and expand the soul sea..." Liu Wuxie explained. To taste an authentic Divine Dragon Hand in the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain was rare indeed. Whoever owned the Heavenly Gale Pavilion had to be an extraordinary figure.
"It seems you know your food well!" A voice cut in. An old man appeared before Liu Wuxie, having overheard his commentary.
"I only know a little," Liu Wuxie replied, narrowing his eyes. He hadn't sensed the old man's arrival at all. Through Ghost Eye, he saw that the man concealed his aura perfectly. He was likely an Earth Immortal.
Other Earth Immortals who visited Liu Wuxie's courtyard never hid their cultivation, so he judged their strength easily. This man, however, had concealed his aura so entirely that he appeared ordinary to everyone else. That alone shocked Liu Wuxie.
"To describe the profundity of these dishes so well—young man, you're no simple character," the old man praised. "The Heavenly Gale Pavilion has endured for tens of thousands of years, and you're the first to analyze its cuisine with such perfection."
