Chapter 92 - An Invitation from the Yi Family (2/2)

“Scram!” Slapping her hand away, he warned, “If you don’t leave I’m going to take it back.”

“Yes Father, no problem Father!”

Shen Ying got up and walked towards the summit. After just a few steps, she heard Lonemoon’s voice calling out after her.

“Oh, I almost forgot. I don’t know how long it takes to wake up from my epiphany, so those are two months living expenses for Invincible Sect.”

As soon as Lonemoon finished speaking, a white aura suddenly swept through the entire sect.

The Spirit Qi in his entire body surged up and he was completely immersed in his epiphany.

Holding on to her bags, Shen Ying mumbled “What the hell!”

——————

Father Niu’s epiphany lasted over two months. His cultivation level rose from early stage Soul Formation to its late stage. This was the first time he experienced a jump in cultivation level, and boy, was it great! Suddenly, he felt a tinge of regret at not have gone earlier to Shen Ying for a heart-to-heart talk. Her words contained a beneficial Buff. [2. Slang. ]. If he had done so earlier, his cultivation would have progressed faster.

“The beef is overcooked, there’s not enough pepper in the chicken, the fish is too mushy, the soup is not thick enough. Father Niu, you don’t have enough respect for these little animals… why not let Little Hong do it?”

“Shut up!” Lonemoon’s mouth twitched. To hell with her! After just five minutes with her, his blood pressure was already rising. “Either eat up or scram!”

“…” I’m not even allowed to criticize bad cooking. Sad.

“By the way, are you close to Yi Feng?” asked Lonemoon. Having finished cooking, Lonemoon placed the last dish on the table.

“Who?” asked Shen Ying. The name did not ring a bell. She picked up a piece of meat, put it into her mouth and immediately grimaced.

“Yi Feng is the Yi Family Patriarch,” explained Lonemoon. Then he added, “At the sect competition- he was the one with the spirit beast who sat on your right.”

A picture of a huge trembling cat flashed across Shen Ying’s mind and she exclaimed, “Oh! You mean the cat slave.”

“…” What do you mean cat slave. “That’s just his spirit beast.”

“We met twice. I don’t know him well,” replied Shen Ying, her hand stealthily pushing the piece of meat over the table.

Glaring at her, Lonemoon picked up another pair of chopsticks on the table and rapped her on the knuckles with it. “Don’t throw it away, finish it! You know you can only dine at a restaurant every three days. You make sure you finish up your food. Don’t waste it.”

You beast!

Shen Ying’s mouth twitched. How she missed the chef who was now in seclusion. She was so used to the chef’s fine dining cooking that having to eat food cooked by Father Niu was pure torture.

“That’s weird. Why did he suddenly send you an invitation?” Lonemoon pulled out a red invitation card and passed it to her. “I received it this morning. It says you are invited to Yi Family for a discussion on beast control. It’s addressed to you and not the sect master of Invincible Sect.”

Shen Ying looked at the invitation card. After a moment, she said, “Oh, I think I promised him I would accompany him to hunt for rare animals when I was free.”

“No wonder…” Lonemoon nodded. “The last time he was in the Immortal Ascension Pagoda, his Lion Roaring Beast, Silver Snow, was injured critically. I believe the purpose of his invitation, besides building a good relationship with our sect, is to look for a new spirit beast.”

A thought struck Shen Ying and eyes brightening, she asked, “Is the Yi Family residence very far from here?”

“The Yi Family is situated at the northernmost part of the Upper Azure World, close to the Mirage Sea Shore. It is indeed very far, about four to five days’ journey if we go by transportation array.”

“Then why don’t we leave now…”

“Finish your food before leaving!” Lonemoon pointed at the chopsticks she had discarded on the table.

“…”

Chef, if you don’t come out of seclusion soon, I’m going to lose my sense of taste.
