Ch. 10 - The Story Begins
“Brother Zimo, just let me have a bite, pleeeease~” Liao Ruyan whined, putting on her cutest act.
“You wanna eat? Fine. Flatter me a little, maybe I’ll consider it,” Xu Zimo snorted.
“I refuse!” Liao Ruyan said seriously. “I’m not the kind of person who grovels for food. I will never lie just to fill my stomach.”
She looked at him with wide, sincere eyes and continued, “I’ve always believed that language is the most beautiful art in the world. But your handsomeness goes beyond words, just looking at you feels like a sin. Oh no, is this… love? Turn away, quick! Don’t let me see your face! My heart’s beating too fast, what if it beats itself to death?”
“Don’t speak such harsh truths,” Xu Zimo joked with a glare.
“Fine, you’ve earned a drumstick later.”
On the side, Lin Ruhu and Zhang Zhongtian silently muttered: “Shameless, the both of them. One’s bold enough to say it, the other actually takes it in stride.”

The fire was extinguished, and the dishes were brought over.
The braised Alchemy Sage-Fowl was golden and crispy, mouthwatering at first glance.
The steamed one, when the lid was lifted, released an intense spiritual aroma, as if every drop of its essence had melted into the pale broth.
“Come on, drink up!” Xu Zimo raised his bowl. “Here’s to chicken soup!”
The moment the meat entered his mouth, he could feel warm energy flowing through his entire body, rich, dense spirit energy coursing through his veins.
His cultivation nearly broke through to the Spirit Meridian Realm on the spot.
Everyone devoured the feast. By the end, they felt invigorated, bursting with energy, like they’d ascended to immortality.
“Where’d you buy this chicken? It’s amazing!” Liao Ruyan asked while gnawing a drumstick.
