Chapter 1274: Chapter 1271: Where Did This Mad Woman Come From (5th Update)

Xue An gave a deep look at the maid with sincere expression on her face.

In actuality, with Xue An’s culinary skills, he could certainly point out many flaws in her cooking.

But for the average person, and even for ordinary cultivators, her cooking skills are considered quite good.

Many people believe that once one embarks on the path of cultivation and achieves some success, food becomes less important.

This is actually a misconception.

Although cultivators can survive without eating, this does not prove that food is not important.

On the contrary, in The Multiverse, cuisine is a profound knowledge and even a complete cultivation system.

Because in The Multiverse, there are countless exotic ingredients.

And the rarer and more precious the ingredients are, the more they help in cultivation.

For example, the best part of Spiritual Medicine herbs suitable for making Elixir is used for medicine, but the rest also possess abundant Spiritual Power. However, consuming them directly can lead to an inability to absorb the wild Spiritual Power, or even harm oneself instead.

At this time, the importance of culinary skills becomes evident.

The more sophisticated one’s culinary skills are, the more they can neutralize or detoxify the toxicity in the ingredients through techniques or secret arts, and release the contained Spiritual Energy. These, after consumption, greatly assist in cultivation.

Although this change is not as rapid as that of Elixirs, it is side-effect-free, and the accumulative progress over time is also considerable.

This has made those with superb culinary skills sought after by the powerhouses of The Multiverse.

It can even be said that the stronger one is, the higher their expectations for culinary skills.

Originally, Xue An was not only the top in Cultivation Level and strength, but his cooking skills were also acknowledged as the best by many who had tasted his dishes.

Therefore, he naturally did not admire these dishes.

And when he heard the words from the maid, Wu Ma, Xue An gave her a deep look.

Wu Ma bowed her head under his gaze, but her eyes were full of hope.

After a moment.

Xue An nodded, “Alright! Then I will teach you once!”

As he spoke, Xue An waved his hand, and a Divine Sense containing information flew into Wu Ma’s mind.

Wu Ma’s body shuddered, her eyes showing momentary confusion before she regained her senses after a while.

Then, shock appeared in her eyes.

As someone obsessed with cooking, she recognized how precious the culinary techniques bestowed by Xue An were.

Therefore, she took a deep breath, deeply bowed to Xue An, and said with a trembling voice, “Thank you, young master! I will redo the dish right away!”

With that, she rushed off without even bidding farewell to Sheng Miaotong.

Xue An smiled and opted not to return but instead stood there quietly waiting.

Sheng Miaotong looked at Xue An, then at Wu Ma who hurriedly left, growing even more puzzled.

This guy… does he really know about cooking?

Su Junneng also recovered, and his heart trembled slightly.

Time passed quickly, only about the duration of a tea time.

Suddenly, Wu Ma hurried back with a plate in her hands, approaching Xue An respectfully, holding it up and gasping, “Young master, please try again!”

Xue An casually took a pair of chopsticks, tasted a piece, then put the chopsticks down and calmly said, “Acceptable!”

After saying that, he left.

Upon hearing the word “acceptable” from Xue An, Wu Ma was overwhelmed with joy, bowed deeply towards the direction Xue An left, and with a trembling voice, said, “Thank you, young master!”

Her voice filled with excitement.

Seeing this, Sheng Miaotong, still puzzled, came over and picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.

Upon chewing it, Sheng Miaotong’s eyes gradually widened.

Wu Ma, smiling, asked, “Second young mistress, how is it?”

Sheng Miaotong eagerly grabbed more with the chopsticks and gulped it down, then finally took a deep breath.

“Can’t describe it, but it tastes much better than before!”

Wu Ma laughed heartily, “Yes! All thanks to this young master!”

Sheng Miaotong remained silent.

At this moment, Su Junneng came over with a smile, trying to look elegant as he smiled at Sheng Miaotong, “Second Miss, you….”

Before he could finish, Sheng Miaotong threw down her chopsticks and clattered up the stairs, leaving swiftly.

Su Junneng was left standing awkwardly, and seeing Ms. Wu nearby, he forced a smile, “I’ll try some too!”

He reached out to grab the chopsticks.

But this time, Ms. Wu’s face wasn’t smiling; instead, she stepped back and said distantly, “Sorry, the Second Miss is a germaphobe and doesn’t allow anyone to touch her utensils!”

Su Junneng’s eyes nearly popped out in shock, “But just now that guy clearly….”

He wanted to say that Xue An had just used the chopsticks.

But before he could finish, Ms. Wu had already swiftly walked away with the plate.

As she passed the pale-faced old servant, Ms. Wu whispered, “I won’t tell the Second Miss about this incident, but I hope you’ll behave yourself!”

The old servant shivered with fright, hurriedly bowed, and said with a trembling voice, “Yes!”

In an instant, the courtyard turned empty.

Even the tables and chairs were taken away by the servant girls.

Su Junneng just stood there dumbfounded, surrounded by people who had come with him, exchanging glances.

After a moment, Su Junneng’s pretty face twisted with resentment and anger, and after glaring upstairs, he turned and left the inn.

Once he left, the others also scattered in a rush.

Meanwhile.

In the room.

Xue An silently drank his tea.

Sheng Miaotong sat across from him, staring intently at him.

The more she looked, the more charmed she felt, and the softer her eyes became.

A handsome man, strong, and even with great culinary skills!

This young man was truly rare!

Feeling overwhelmed, Sheng Miaotong couldn’t help but speak, “Young Master Xue! Who did you learn your cooking skills from? Could you teach me?”

Xue An shook his head.

“Oh, I really want to learn! Please teach me!” Sheng Miaotong’s voice was almost whining.

Xue An still did not speak.

At that moment, Xing Yushu, who had just woken up from a nap, came out from the inner room.

Shocked to see that the fierce-looking girl was still in the room, he paused.

Sheng Miaotong chuckled and greeted him, “Hello!”

Xing Yushu was a bit dazed and looked towards Xue An for guidance.

Xue An, without lifting his head, said calmly, “Yushu, please escort this lady out!”

“Yes!” Xing Yushu stepped forward without hesitation.

Initially, Sheng Miaotong thought Xue An was joking.

But when she was physically pushed out of the room by Xing Yushu, and after the door was loudly shut,

It dawned on her that she really had been kicked out!

This infuriated Sheng Miaotong, as no one had ever dared treat her this way before.

She raised her hand to pound on the door, but stopped mid-air and stamped her foot instead, muttering resentfully, “Hmph, think you can drive me away? No way! I shall stubbornly stick to you!”

With that, she turned around huffily and left.

Inside the room, Xing Yushu curiously asked, “Sir, who is that woman?”

By now, Xing Yushu felt much better after venting for so long.

Xue An drained his teacup and said indifferently, “Who knows! Probably some crazy woman from somewhere!”

Xing Yushu nodded in agreement, “I think so too!”
