In the late night, Head Chef Fu and Chef Du were having a great time in the kitchen of the Twenty-Ninth Bureau canteen.

Sect Leader Li was just there to lend a helping hand.

Li Jing was already familiar with Fu Jianzhou’s cooking skills, but this young junior... was he skilled?

Indeed, specialization is essential!

The three disciples served Master Qing in different ways, and naturally, each of them added different "attribute points".

Accompanied by the sound of ’ding ding dang dang,’ Du Yu quickly plated the celery shrimp.

"Not bad, young junior." Li Jing chuckled, looking at Du Yu.

He had quite a deep understanding of Du Yu’s abilities.

It’s precisely because of this that Li Jing was very surprised; this prodigy in Great Xia could actually handle the kitchen?

Master Qing truly has a way with his disciples...

"I can only make these four dishes." Du Yu smiled as he placed the dish on the tray, "I’ve reached my limit; the rest is up to Senior Brother Fu."

Sautéed bamboo shoots, boiled greens, celery shrimp, and cold lotus root slices.

Li Jing and Fu Jianzhou looked at the three warm and one cold dishes; they truly had no oil and were dauntingly bland. The ’meatiest’ was the shrimp.

Du Yu said: "These four dishes together have a name."

A bit further away at the stove, Head Chef Fu tossed the ladle and loudly asked, "What’s the name?"

Du Yu replied, "Master Qing’s Delight Set."

"Haha."

"Heh." The two senior brothers were amused.

Du Yu looked at the "Qing Delight" on the kitchen table and couldn’t help but smirk.

This plain and bare fare could even make a Wolf Lake Dog shake its head!

But it perfectly suited Master Qing’s taste.

Hmm...

"What are you laughing about, so happily?" A head popped out at the kitchen doorway, sneaky and secretive.

"Hold on a minute, Mengnan, we’re just missing one dish." Fu Jianzhou called out, "The junior insists on having spicy chicken."

Li Jing looked at the girl: "Can these dishes go into the mountain gate?"

Li Mengnan thought for a moment, "It probably won’t be a problem?"

Li Jing smiled at the bewildered junior sister: "That’s your world, your mountain temple; you’re the one who calls the shots."

Li Mengnan looked at the longing and anticipation on Du Yu’s face and quietly said, "Actually, I want to eat meat too."

Li Jing: "..."

Du Yu smacked Li Mengnan on the shoulder, his face full of emotion: "You’re truly a female Bodhisattva!"

"Go away." Li Mengnan blushed slightly and scolded Du Yu, "We’ll eat outside the mountain temple; I’ve already tidied up over the cliff."

Du Yu: "Where are Master Qing and Shiwei?"

Li Mengnan: "Third sister is currently taking Master Qing on a tour of the mountain temple. They’ll start eating when we arrive."

"All set!" Fu Jianzhou lifted the pot, and the crispy, fragrant spicy chicken was plated, its aroma spreading, oil sizzling.

Du Yu swallowed.

It has to be my Senior Brother Fu!

This dish, this king wishes to call it "Yu Huixi"!

The disciples tidied up the kitchen a bit, planning to clean it together when they returned. With nods of approval from the senior brothers, Li Mengnan also took out the alms staff.

The gray-white alms staff was particularly exquisite, with a big ring encased in a small ring at the head.

"Ding-a-ling~" As Li Mengnan gently lifted it, the exquisite circular ring emitted a pleasant sound.

Li Mengnan held the alms staff and gently tapped the ground with the handle.

"Whoo~"

The kitchen scene began to transform and swirl into a vortex.

Again, Du Yu saw Van Gogh’s "Starry Night."

As the vortex rotated clockwise and continued to spin backwards, the scene became clear again, and everyone had arrived at Peach Blossom Realm.

"Whoa~" Du Yu, holding the dishes, looked around at the beautiful scenery.

There wasn’t a demonic plant in sight, just common trees.

The last time Du Yu came here, it was all barren, but now it’s lush and green.

"This way." Li Mengnan led the way ahead, feeling a sense of accomplishment about hosting her sect mates in her world.

"Did Uncle Li really splurge?" Du Yu walked through the woods, looking around at all the wealth.

But compared to demonic plants, ordinary trees are much cheaper.

Li Mengnan smiled gracefully and walked alongside Waiter Xiaodu: "My dad makes money just for me to spend!"

Du Yu pursed his lips, you’re not being reserved at all.

Li Mengnan was displeased, "Hey, you! What’s with that face? Am I wrong?"

Du Yu: "Ah yes, yes, yes!"

Li Mengnan’s beautiful eyes turned, and she playfully said, "Do you think, after my dad passes away in a hundred years, all the wealth will be mine?"

Du Yu: "..."

You are truly a filial child~

But, that’s quite reasonable.

Li Mengnan: "Since it’s all mine, and my dad’s eating, wearing, and using my stuff every day, I haven’t said anything."

Du Yu: ???

The two senior brothers were also surprised, this...

Makes sense!

Du Yu turned to look at Li Mengnan: "The most filial daughter of the Ancient Pine Tower!"

"Haha~" Li Mengnan laughed and gave Du Yu a sidelong glance, suddenly running a few steps to the right.

Only then did Du Yu realize that there were still demonic plants hidden in the forest.

Maple Tree?

Li Mengnan’s fingers fell on the bark, and her fingertips smeared a bit of maple syrup: "The Maple Trees were given by third sister, over ten of them, spread throughout the forest."

Hearing this, Du Yu’s heart stirred.

He turned to the two senior brothers but spoke to Li Mengnan: "It’s Shiwei’s housewarming gift to you?"

Li Mengnan: "That’s right."

Fu Jianzhou/Li Jing: "..."

Where do you put us two?

Li Mengnan seemed to have noticed something and "pfft" laughed out loud.

Her fingertips were stained with maple syrup, and she looked at Senior Brother Li Jing: "Senior Brother Fu helped me move house, it was really hard.
