Chapter 221 - 218 Fire Refining Tower
"What the hell are you talking about, pigs can’t possibly fly, you... what are you doing!"
Ling Qianxue only glanced briefly before she turned back around, but she caught sight of Ye Xuan, who was spitting out food and had not yet managed to cover it up. Her pretty face immediately changed color.
"Uh, I just... choked by accident..."
Ye Xuan inwardly cursed his luck while plastering on a smile. Now things were getting tricky.
Ling Qianxue was not about to believe his nonsense; ice-cold, she stood up from her seat. Her pale hand slammed down on the stone table, startling Ye Xuan. However, after taking a few deep breaths, Ling Qianxue left the place in anger without saying anything.
"That was a close call."
Ye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could fully catch his breath, the stone table in front of him made a "crack" sound and a crack suddenly appeared.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan quickly reached out to support the table to keep it from collapsing but realized Ling Qianxue must be really angry this time.
"Big Brother Ye Xuan, honestly, Senior Sister Ling is like a fairy, and she rarely cooks specially for someone. Even if it’s hard to swallow, you should have endured it."
Tang Xiaoyan also looked at Ye Xuan reproachfully. It was a big deal that Ling Qianxue would cook for somebody; word of it could have caused quite a stir at the Heavenly Martial Hall. Probably countless disciples would gobble it up even if it tasted like pig food, but Ye Xuan had spat it out.
"I wasn’t prepared; why didn’t you warn me it was so awful so I could brace myself?" Ye Xuan said somewhat speechlessly. The dishes had seemed decent enough to the eye, but eating them had been an entirely different story.
