Chapter 1681: Chapter 1701: Why Does It Seem Like Meeting the Bride’s Parents?_1

Lin Chen made a saluting gesture: "Yes, nice to meet you, Senior!"

Cao Hechuan chuckled: "You saved Xuan Ji. The entire Immortal Palace is grateful to you. Hmm, you’re quite handsome and your eyes possess an upright aura. No wonder Xuan Ji keeps mentioning you after coming back..."

Lin Chen felt a little embarrassed, while Yao Xuanji beside him apparently didn’t expect he would say such things upon meeting. She quickly blushed.

"Grandpa Cao, don’t make irresponsible remarks! Who has been thinking about him!"

Cao Hechuan grinned and replied: "Yes, yes, yes, I made a mistake. Actually, I was thinking about him. Our entire Immortal Palace, countless sects, almost turned the entire Immortal Domain upside down, but couldn’t find you. But this little guy, who is not even an immortal, rescued you back. I’ve been longing to meet him for a long time."

Lin Chen laughed: "Senior, you’re too kind. Although I did help her, she also saved my life multiple times. We helped each other. I did save her, but she is also a benefactor in my life. Without her, I wouldn’t have reached where I am today."

Cao Hechuan laughed heartily: "Good young man, let’s go. Regardless of who’s more lucky, you’re in for a treat today!"

Cao Hechuan took the two back to his residence. It was beneath a snow-covered mountain peak. However, the scenes on the mountain and at the bottom presented a stark contrast.

The periphery was a grassland that circled the entire canyon, working as a boundary line.

Outside was a freezing winter, while inside it was warm spring.

Within the grassland, there was an orchard, where various fruit trees were planted. Some of them were laden with fruits, emitting a faint fruit fragrance in the air which was quite refreshing.

Inside the orchard were several vegetable plots, divided into different areas and growing various kinds of vegetables.

The soil in these vegetable plots were filled with strong spiritual Qi, obviously they were special Spiritual Soil that had undergone special tempering. These vegetables were not any special varieties and were just ordinary vegetables that people see daily. However, under the cultivation of the Spiritual Soil, they grew extremely well.

The lush green vegetables, vivid red tomatoes, deep purple eggplants and so on, were all full of vibrant vitality.

These vegetable plots were arranged very neatly. It was quite soothing to see such orderly rows.

Lin Chen’s eyes brightened. This was absolutely a paradise on earth.

For ordinary people, it’s impossible to make such a place. But for immortals, small array formations and spells can achieve this. The only thing needed is dedication.

This old man was indeed living out his days as an ordinary person.

That being said, a Peak Celestial Immortal who can’t find the opportunity for ascension can be considered to have reached the peak of cultivation. Further cultivation would be futile, hence a lot of time could be used on other affairs.

"We’ll eat here today, I’ll cook!"

Lin Chen chuckled: "I’ll help in the kitchen."

Cao Hechuan turned his head towards Lin Chen: "Do you know how to?"

Lin Chen laughed: "Just an average cook, I just know how."

Yao Xuanji revealed: "Grandpa Cao, he’s fooling you. He’s a great cook! He always brings his cooking tools with him, and cooks for himself all the time."

Cao Hechuan chuckled: "That’s great. There’s this fish that needs a special preparation, otherwise, its frost aura is too strong, and it can cause certain harm to the body after eaten. I will handle the fish, while you prepare some vegetables. How’s that? All the vegetables in my garden are at your disposal."

Since Yao Xuanji had already said so, Lin Chen naturally couldn’t refuse again. He smiled: "Alright. If it doesn’t taste good, don’t mind it, Senior."

Cao Hechuan laughed: "With Xuanji praising your cooking skills, it certainly won’t be bad. Just cook at ease. After all, there are no outsiders here. If it’s good, we’ll enjoy it. If not, we’ll just fill our stomachs!"

Cao Hechuan went to handle the fish, while Lin Chen headed towards the vegetable garden, with Yao Xuanji following behind with a beaming smile.

"What are you planning to cook?"

Lin Chen laughed: "What do you want to eat?"

Yao Xuanji said with a sweet smile: "I like whatever you cook."

Lin Chen turned his head to look at Yao Xuanji, who looked back at him with an innocent smile, resembling a girl next door, showing no signs of her aloof and powerful demeanor as the Domain Lord.

Lin Chen chuckled: "If you don’t mind, I’ll just cook something at random."

"Okay, what do you need? I’ll help pick it."

Lin Chen scanned the vegetable plots: "Pick some green peppers, a few eggplants, and make a dish of stir-fried green peppers and eggplant. Also, get a cold tomato salad, make some vegetable soup, and then there’s the fish. That should be enough for three of us, right?"

"Okay, then I’ll go pick the green peppers."

After they finished picking vegetables, Cao Hechuan, who was preparing the fish, beckoned towards the distance. A heap of snow exploded from somewhere on Snow Peak, as a piece of meat flew down the mountain, landing directly near Lin Chen.

"This is a spiritual deer I hunted before. It was too much to eat, so I froze it in the snow. You see what you want to do with it. Young people need to eat meat. You can’t just eat vegetables. I also have homemade wine here. We’ll drink some later."

Looking at the big piece of deer meat in his hand, Lin Chen said with a smile, "Alright."

Lin Chen simply took out his own cooking tools and started preparing the dishes adeptly. On the other hand, as Cao Hechuan finished preparing the fish, Lin Chen also got everything ready, and started cooking.

Cao Hechuan finished the fish and stood by, looking at Lin Chen with a grin. He alternated between Lin Chen and Yao Xuanji, his gaze making Lin Chen shiver slightly.

Why did he feel like he was meeting his girlfriend’s parents for the first time?
