Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 1400: Rare Occurrence

Jiangli remembers that when Ying Ming started cooking, it wasn’t very good. People back then practically lived off raw meat and blood, and had no cooking techniques.

Even the use of fire was still a recently acquired skill.

The so-called cooking was mostly just roasting with fire.

Most people ate food raw for convenience.

But Jiangli couldn’t eat it.

The taste of blood always made her vomit.

This issue remained even after arriving at the Water God Temple.

To accommodate her, Ying Ming began to learn cooking.

However, at first the food wasn’t good, and since Jiangli wasn’t familiar with him, she often threw tantrums, making the Water God Temple a restless place.

She remembers that Ying Ming would never get angry and would always soothe her repeatedly.

For a long time, she even suspected that Ying Ming had no temper.

But later, she realized that Ying Ming did have a temper.

She also remembers that Ying Ming improved his culinary skills swiftly for her, making increasingly delicious meals.

As time passed, grains began to appear in the world. Though not abundant, it was a significant development.

The variety of edible ingredients kept increasing.

The heavens provided humans with plenty of protection.

During that time, Jiangli grew accustomed to Ying Ming’s cooking and couldn’t enjoy anything else.

As a result, during the three thousand years sealed at Beihai, she practically ate nothing.

"What are you thinking about?"

As Jiangli was thinking, Fu Shiyan’s voice rang in her ear.

He placed a piece of fish in Jiangli’s bowl.

Something she enjoyed eating.

Jiangli came back to her senses and said while eating, "Nothing much, I was just wondering where Qu Lin might go."

Fu Shiyan glanced at her, his gaze dimming slightly, "There’s no rush. I’ll handle it, you should eat first."

Upon hearing this, Jiangli nodded, "It’s delicious."

Fu Shiyan’s lips curved, "Then eat more. These are fresh ingredients just bought by Master Wu."

Jiangli agreed, responding with an okay, and continued eating leisurely.

She wasn’t lying to Fu Shiyan.

His cooking skills were indeed excellent.

Better than any grand meal she’s had before.

Unfortunately...

Such delicious meals are rare.

After but not resting immediately. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

While Fu Shiyan was tidying up, Jiangli went to the statue of the Ancestor and solemnly offered incense.

Then she summoned Tianxuan and Master Wu to inquire about the situation.

Tianxuan said that the Xuanmen clan had been notified to be cautious.

Jiangli asked, "Does anyone know where Qu Lin is?"

Tianxuan shook his head, "No, nobody knows what’s happening. They’re not aware of what’s happening at Dangshan, let alone elsewhere."

Jiangli’s brows furrowed slightly.

Seeing her displeasure, Tianxuan comforted her, "This matter can’t be rushed, sister. As Qin Sai mentioned, if Qu Lin knows his every move, then Qu Lin likely knows that Qin Sai has been captured. He won’t easily reveal himself. It will be difficult to track him; we’ll have to wait for him to make a move."

Upon hearing this, Jiangli thought, there’s no time left.

She looked up towards the window.

The Zhongyuan Festival was approaching.

It’s the time when Evil Qi and ghostly energies are at their peak; Qu Lin must act before the festival, at the latest during it.

He’s unlikely to stop easily now.

Jiangli’s expression grew somber.

Later in the evening.

She and Fu Shiyan returned to the room to rest.

Neither intended to sleep separately, nor was there any impropriety.

Jiangli could only sleep well when beside Fu Shiyan.
