Chapter 60: Beggar Chicken (1) (1/2)
”What is beggar chicken? I never ever heard of that dish before in my life.” Elder Jing asked softly.
Yang Wei smiled briefly but kept silent, causing Elder Jing to become irritated by the secrecy.
”Tell me now or I will feed you my newest pill creation.” Elder Jing threatened, hoping to make Yang Wei confess up about beggar chicken.
However, Yang Wei merely shook his head and said, ”It'll be no fun if you know it beforehand.”
And he continued, ”Trust me this one time, I promise to make the best chicken dish you will ever taste in your entire life.”
Elder Jing could only clench her fist as she walked toward the cave and glanced at Yang Wei from time to time.
Once they arrived in the cave, Elder Jing stared at Yang Wei, indicating to him to hurry up and make the beggar chicken for her already.
She was starving from fighting for so long since she hasn't been fighting much besides concocting pills. Yang Wei saw her stomach grumbling and giggled softly as he withdrew a chicken from his spatial ring.
Elder Jing became dumbfounded and asked, ”Where did you get that chicken from? I'm pretty confident that there are no chickens in my courtyard and you would have cooked that already otherwise we wouldn't have to kill a Lightning Wolf for its meat.”
Hearing her questions, Yang Wei scratched his head slightly in embarrassment, almost like he wasn't willing to tell Elder Jing how he obtained the chicken.
Elder Jing squinted her eyes at Yang Wei because she knew him too well that whenever he acted unnaturally, it meant he was hiding something from her.
”Tell me now or would you want to eat some punches before telling the truth.” Elder Jing made a grinning face as she clenches her fist, causing some cracking sounds to echo around the cave.
Yang Wei started sweating and trembled in fear as he hurriedly exclaimed, ”It was during the time when we were catching up to the Feather Wind Sect disciples. I was too far behind you and saw some chicken scurrying around the forest so I decided to catch some of them first before meeting up with you.”
Yang Wei lowered his head in shame once he revealed the truth about him getting the chicken. It wasn't that he didn't care about his fellow disciples but it was because he was confident in Elder Jing's ability to save everyone so he thought it wouldn't hurt to spend some time catching some chicken.
Even though cultivators do not require food anymore to fill their stomachs, Yang Wei still enjoyed the process of eating delicacies and with Elder Jing as a companion, he was willing to cook as many times as possible to brighten her mood.
After learning a little bit about her tragic past, Yang Wei wasn't going to just sit still and not do anything to make Elder Jing feel happier with him by her side. This was a good chance for him to earn some more attraction points from Elder Jing.
Meanwhile, Elder Jing twitched her mouth slightly in disbelief at Yang Wei's carefree attitude.
