Chapter 61: Beggar Chicken (2) (2/2)
Yang Wei wasn't an exception too as his stomach was eager to chomp on the beggar chicken already but he needed to be patient with this dish or else, his effort would be wasted if he rushed and cracked open the dirt.
Suddenly, footsteps can be heard from outside, alerting Yang Wei and Elder Jing.
”Damn it, they arrived back too quickly. I didn't make any for them.” Yang Wei cursed aloud as he was not willing to share the beggar chicken with his so-called disciples.
Not even Lian Xinyue was an exception because Yang Wei only planned on eating the beggar chicken with Elder Jing.
”You don't have to worry about them interrupting us. I already carved some wording in the entrance for Elder Pao Huang to see with my true qi.” Elder Jing said with a prideful expression.
She had already expected them to clean the field fast since they don't want others to know that their sect has killed the members from the Purple Scorpion Sect which would bring disaster to them.
Meanwhile, Yang Wei wanted to clap his hand in admiration for her foresight but couldn't because his hand was currently holding Elder Jing's hand.
He was not willing to let go of it and pray that he can continue holding hers forever.
”The cooking seems to be done,” Elder Jing said with anticipation as she couldn't imagine the flavor that would be produced from this unusual cooking technique.
Yang Wei smiled bitterly as he could only let go of her hand to clear the fire out and used a small tree branch to bring the beggar chicken to the cold ground.
Elder Jing watched the process solemnly as she saw Yang Wei start cracking the dirt open, revealing a steamy white cloud in the air.
Yang Wei tried to open up the lotus leaves to reveal the glistening chicken but yelled aloud when he touched the lotus leaves.
”Hot,” Yang Wei exclaimed as he almost burned his finger from the heat and Elder Jing touched his hand in concern.
”Be careful next time. If others learned about a cultivator burning himself accidentally because of cooking then you're going to be a laughing stock.” Elder Jing exclaimed as she blew the finger to soothe his burnt wound, causing Yang Wei to blush slightly from the intimate action.
Yang Wei smiled with a gentle expression as Elder Jing's behavior reminded him of his deceased grandma where she would blow his finger gently when he burned his finger for touching the lotus leaves in a hurry.
”When you know the food is hot, you should wait for it to cool down before touching it. You're an adult already and you said it's your hometown specialty so you should know that the lotus leaves are extremely hot after being slow-cooked.”
Elder Jing scolded, causing Yang Wei's heart to have a meltdown.
Yang Wei couldn't hold back his emotion anymore as he leaned forward and kissed Elder Jing's lip, causing her to open her eyes wide in surprise at his bold action.
