Chapter 121: It’s Time to Make Up for It

Following the scent permeating the air, Luo Yuebai autonomously walked into Su Jingzhen’s courtyard.

He made his way to the kitchen.

Not only him, but Yan Xia and the other four maidservants had also caught wind of the scent permeating the air.

Curiosity led them to gather in the courtyard.

Seeing Luo Yuebai’s arrival, the six maidservants were immediately frightened and hurriedly bowed.

“Greetings, Lord Luo!”

Luo Yuebai paid no attention to them, his gaze fixed on the kitchen door, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

“Who’s cooking?”

“In response to Lord Luo, it’s Master Su.”

The two maids who had been chased out of the kitchen earlier nervously responded.

Hearing this, Luo Yuebai’s curiosity grew even stronger.

“Friend Su has this culinary skill?”

Speaking to himself, he stepped into the kitchen, and as soon as he entered, the scent became even richer.

Several dishes were already laid out on the table.

Stewed, braised… they all looked mouth-watering.

Luo Yuebai, a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, had long abstained from worldly pleasures.

But now, he couldn’t help but salivate.

“Friend Su, you’re back?”

“Did you make all of this?”

Luo Yuebai was genuinely astonished.

At this point, he didn’t bother with formalities with Su Jingzhen. Without waiting for an invitation, he sat at the table, picked up his chopsticks, and began to taste.

Just tasting a piece of braised leopard meat completely opened Luo Yuebai’s taste buds.

Seeing this, Su Jingzhen thought to himself, this guy’s eating habits are so similar to Shuang Jiang’s?

Today’s meat was prepared in abundance, but judging from Luo Yuebai’s eating habits, he was still worried it wouldn’t be enough, so he didn’t even bother to invite the six maids outside.

He simply scooped up a bowl of spiritual rice and sat opposite Luo Yuebai.

Neither of them spoke during the meal.

Both of them wolfed down their food, and their eating habits were equally uncouth.

Before long, most of the various preparations of black wind leopard meat had been devoured by the two of them.

The amount that Su Jingzhe prepared today was actually for his six maids.

So even with the formidable appetites of the two, they couldn’t finish it all.

After wiping his mouth, Luo Yuebai returned to his elegant demeanor.

Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but smile, “Isn’t it said that cultivators have to practice fasting after reaching a certain level?”

There was a hint of teasing in Su Jingzhen’s words.

But Luo Yuebai also smiled, “There is such a saying, but that’s because they haven’t met a great chef like Friend Su.”

He wasn’t joking.

Because Su Jingzhen suddenly saw golden text in front of him.

What surprised Su Jingzhen was that this triggered a three-hit combo from Luo Yuebai.

Alchemists, to some extent, could be considered advanced chefs.

And in the cultivation world, besides Su Jingzhen, there might not be any second-grade alchemists willing to cook.

Revealing this unexpected skill naturally conquered countless people.

Am I really winning them over with my cooking skills?

Su Jingzhen thought to himself, his face slightly unnatural.

Because as soon as Luo Yuebai’s words fell, he suddenly saw in Luo Yuebai’s eyes a hint of heat.

There’s a line I won’t cross, no matter what!

Luo Yuebai smiled and asked again, “By the way, now that we’ve finished eating, I forgot to ask Friend Su, what meat were we eating just now?”

Hearing this, Su Jingzhen pointed to the intact black leopard skin in the corner.

“Last night, when I went down the mountain, I happened to encounter a black wind leopard and killed it.”

Hearing this, Luo Yuebai looked somewhat surprised.

“Judging from the fur, it should be a first-grade black wind leopard. It was indeed unlucky to encounter Friend Su.”

Luo Yuebai nodded knowingly.

But Su Jingzhen smiled, “When I was dealing with this guy just now, I also prepared a gift for Brother Luo.”

Hearing Su Jingzhen’s words, Luo Yuebai’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Before he could inquire, Su Jingzhen pointed to the bloody long strip hanging on the kitchen wall, about a foot long.

Luo Yuebai’s gaze followed, growing more puzzled.

Subconsciously, he asked, “What is this?”

Su Jingzhen smiled again, “This thing is beneficial for cultivators like Brother Luo who often visit the Flower Moon Pavilion.”

“The female cultivators at the Flower Moon Pavilion are really too tempting. Taking this back and brewing it into a jar of wine will surely make Brother Luo’s spear even more unyielding.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuebai suddenly reacted, his expression stunned.

He never expected that Su Jingzhen, who appeared refined and gentlemanly, would suddenly make such suggestive remarks.

Su Jingzhen didn’t notice that by now, Luo Yuebai’s ears were tinged with a blush.

After a moment of hesitation, Luo Yuebai spoke with some difficulty, “So… that thing is…”

Su Jingzhen nodded and smiled, “That’s right, it’s from a first-grade black wind leopard, its whip!”

“When I’ve improved my strength someday, I’ll go up the mountain to hunt for tiger whips, dragon whips, and such, which might be even more potent. By then, when you go to the Flower Moon Pavilion again, you won’t need any support to walk out.”

As Su Jingzhen spoke, there was a hint of pride in his eyes.

But this wasn’t his original intention.

However, the heated gaze Luo Yuebai had given him earlier made him a bit uncomfortable. So now, deliberately mentioning the Flower Moon Pavilion and speaking suggestively, he was hinting to Luo Yuebai that he was a normal man who liked women.

He was not interested in swords and fencing.

But upon hearing Su Jingzhen’s words, Luo Yuebai’s face suddenly became less natural, with a faint blush on his cheeks.

But he had to go along with it, “Y-Yes, indeed, it’s a good item!”

As he said this, Su Jingzhen stood up and put the whip in a jar, handing it to Luo Yuebai.

Seeing this, Luo Yuebai still maintained that unnatural smile on his face as he stood up, taking the jar.

“I suddenly remembered that there are some matters in the Evil Moon Sect that need to be dealt with. After all, the celebration of the Evil Moon Sect is in two days. Since Friend Su has safely returned, I can rest assured. As always, if you need anything, feel free to come find me.”

With that, he left directly.

Watching Luo Yuebai leave, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but smile.

“Perhaps this is the difference between cultivating Qi and cultivating the body. I admit that the vitality in these black wind leopard meats is abundant, but I didn’t expect it would make Brother Luo’s face turn as red as if he were in a sauna. He’ll probably need some time to digest this vitality.”

Then he chuckled again, “This is enough to see that Brother Luo is indeed a bit deficient. It’s time to make up for it…”
