Chapter 1556: Chapter 1576: Wouldn’t It Be Better to Just Do It Directly? Why Pretend for So Long?_1

The sky gradually darkened, and Little Gold fell into the valley.

"Let’s rest. We’ll continue at dawn tomorrow."

"Alright."

Little Gold took to the sky, searching for food in the nearby mountains and forests.

"Young Master Lin, where is it going?"

Lin Chen answered, "Little Gold is in its growth stage. It has an astonishing appetite and needs to feed every day. It’s gone hunting."

Liu Yuqi gave a small gasp, then asked curiously, "I heard that an adult Golden Winged Roc possesses remarkable power - even a peak Celestial Immortal might not be its match. How strong is Little Gold now?"

Lin Chen chuckled, "Its power is similar to that of an Earth Immortal. After all, it’s only a few years old, it’s still a child."

Liu Yuqi marveled, "So it’s as powerful as an Earth Immortal at only few years old. The Golden Winged Roc is truly impressive."

Lin Chen stopped at the edge of the pond in the valley. With a casual swipe of his hand, several fish of different species and sizes flew out of the water, landing at his feet.

Lin Chen inspected them for a moment, selecting two and kicking the rest back into the water.

Liu Yuqi watched Lin Chen curiously, "Young Master Lin, what are you doing?"

Lin Chen laughed, "I’m cooking. Don’t you eat meals regularly?"

Liu Yuqi looked curious, "Young Master Lin, you can cook? When traveling, isn’t it enough to simply take Grain-Purifying Pills?"

Lin Chen asked, "Are the Grain-Purifying Pills tasty?"

Liu Yuqi shook her head, "No taste at all. You just swallow them."

Lin Chen shrugged, "Well, there you have it."

He cleaned and prepared the two fish, slicing one and placing it on a plate. He then used a frost spell to cool the fish. The other he cut into pieces and began grilling in a skillet.

Liu Yuqi and Cui Hong exchanged a look, a strange glimmer in their eyes. But they quickly regained their composure.

Before long, Lin Chen finished cooking dinner, portioning the grilled fish into three plates and serving them to the two women. Fhe fresh fish sashimi was set in the centerpiece of the table, with three dipping dishes.

"This is so delicious!"

After a few bites, Liu Yuqi remarked with surprise, "Young Master Lin, you’re truly talented. You even have such exceptional culinary skills..."

Lin Chen grinned, "Just average skills. The ingredients are the key."

After dinner, Liu Yuqi took the initiative to say, "Cui Hong, go clean up the dishes."

Lin Chen didn’t object. After all, who would object to having someone else do the washing up?

As Lin Chen and Liu Yuqi chatted casually, occasionally glancing at the silently dish-washing Cui Hong, their eyes held a hint of amusement.

The three continued traveling together for several days. They had become quite familiar with each other.

"This is the Worship Moon Mountain Range. After crossing it, we’ll reach the Vast Sea Wilderness. After crossing the Vast Sea Wilderness, the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace will be just a short distance away."

Lin Chen smiled, "Let’s first cross the Worship Moon Mountain Range. We should take the edge path and loop around. In the central area, we might come across formidable demonic beasts. With our current strength, we wouldn’t stand a chance."

That night, Lin Chen cooked another feast, this time spicy. It was so spicy, the two women’s faces flushed red.

"It’s too spicy..."

Liu Yuqi took out a bottle of light green liquid and took a sip, breathing a sigh of relief.

"So spicy, but so delicious. Young Master Lin, your cooking skills are absolutely outstanding."

After a pause, Liu Yuqi took out two more bottles, one for Cui Hong and the other for Lin Chen.

"Young Master Lin, this is a specialty I bought on the road, a Hundred Fruit Juice. It helps to reduce spiciness, has a slight sourness and really stimulates the appetite. Want to try some?"

"Thank you."

Lin Chen took the bottle, opened it, and took a sip.

It was a little sour, sweet, somewhat like kiwi juice, and quite delicious, but there seemed to be an unusual aroma hidden in the juice.

Lin Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a soft laugh, "Quite tasty, I feel girls may prefer this flavor."

Liu Yuqi giggled, "Relative to men, women certainly prefer this flavor, but it pairs well with the spicy dishes."

"Hmm!"

After dinner, Cui Hong again started to clean the dishes. Lin Chen returned to his resting pavilion, sat cross-legged on the bed, and soon fell deeply asleep.

Liu Yuqi watched Li Chen fall onto his bed-strewn pavilion, a hint of delight in her eyes.

"Young Master Lin..."

Lin Chen didn’t respond, continuing to sleep soundly.

Liu Yuqi took a few steps closer, her voice a bit louder, "Young Master Lin?"

Lin Chen still showed no sign of consciousness.

Cui Hong said, "After taking the Three-Day Drunk, he won’t wake up for at least two days. There’s no point in calling him."

Cui Hong spoke coldly and bluntly. Liu Yuqi didn’t seem to mind, and turned to smile, "It’s always better to be cautious."

Cui Hong frowned, clearly annoyed, "He’s just an Early Jinxian, and the Golden Winged Roc barely matches an Earth Immortal. Why are we being so cautious? We can just take action. Following him all this way is a waste of time!"

Liu Yuqi chuckled, "It’s easier to make a move after getting familiar with him. Why use force when we can use our brains? More importantly, what if the Golden Winged Roc runs away? You know how much a young Golden Winged Roc is worth!"

Cui Hong snorted and huffed, "But look at you, playing the part of the damsel in distress and enjoying the ride while I do all the errands - serving tea, tidying up, and washing the dishes."

Liu Yuqi blinked, laughing, "I will give you half of the gains. Is that alright? Are good sisters supposed to squabble over such things?"
