“Ling Yun, d-do you know how to do it?”

Qin Dongxue stared at Ling Yun with her beautiful eyes. Her gaze revealed a trace of awkwardness and anticipation.

Of the three, Qin Dongxue was the oldest. She was also Ling Yun’s and Ning Lingyu’s aunt. If neither of them knew how to do it, as the aunt, she could only step up to prepare the first dish of her life.

Ning Lingyu actually knew how to cook. She had learned her culinary skills from Qin Qiuyue. Just by preparing some regular dishes, their taste, scent, and presentation were extraordinary. It wasn’t too far off from the dishes that Qin Qiuyue made.

However, it was only limited to regular dishes made in a regular household. If she had to handle lobsters, abalone, and top-quality ingredients, Ning Lingyu wouldn’t know what to do with them. Before Ling Yun had become amazing, she hadn’t even tasted those dishes before, much less prepared them.

If Qin Dongxue didn’t know, there was no way Ning Lingyu would know either. The past Ling Yun was a person who only knew how to eat. Preparing meals was something that was entirely foreign to him.

“Aunty, Brother... why don’t we have something else today? I’ll cook today...”

Ning Lingyu was afraid that her brother, Ling Yun, would embarrass himself. Thus, she suggested this quietly.

Looking at Qin Dongxue, Ling Yun turned to look at Ning Lingyu after. He thought that it was time for him to step up.

Ling Yun got out of the car and opened the trunk, taking out the two lobsters that were over two feet seven inches in length. Holding one vividly-spotted lobster in each hand, he raised them lightly in front of the beauties.

“I’ll do it. But, I’ll need the two of you to be my assistants...”

“Ah?”

“Ling Yun, do you really know how to prepare them?”

Qin Dongxue and Ning Lingyu couldn’t even imagine that Ling Yun would have said that. This was simply unbelievable.

They couldn’t help but exchange looks with each other. Then, Ning Lingyu bit her luscious lips lightly and said softly, “Brother, you haven’t cooked before. Th-These lobsters are expensive, you know...”

Ning Lingyu was worried that Ling Yu was just pushing himself in front of Qin Dongxue and that he’d end up wasting such good ingredients. After all, they had a beautiful tank at home that was filled with fresh seawater. It wouldn’t be a problem to keep those lobsters for a few days.

Ling Yun chuckled. “How about you two beauties hold onto the abalones and crabs? That fish, too. Let’s head to the kitchen.”

With that, he walked past Qin Dongxue and Ning Lingyu, who were staring wide-eyed at him, and went into the mansion.

“Lingyu, does Ling Yun really know how to cook?”

Qin Dongxue held most of the ingredients in her hands, though she let Lingyu hold onto the fish as they walked into the living room.

“Um... I haven’t seen brother cook before...” Ning Lingyu could only respond truthfully.

Hearing that, Qing Dongxue’s beautiful eyes flashed with obvious pity and regret. She couldn’t help but sigh. “It’s over, it’s all over. Your aunty’s luxurious lobsters are going to waste, it’s going to be ruined by that brat...”

Ling Yun could hear them clearly from the front. Chuckling, he didn’t refute her as he walked straight to the kitchen holding the two large lobsters.

So, did Ling Yun know how to cook? Absolutely!

Not only did he know, but his culinary skills were top-notch. They were said to be legendary.

Ling Yun loved to eat, but even more so than that, he was an excellent chef!

When he was in the Great Cultivation World, even when he had attained the peak realm and didn’t have to eat, he would never let his stomach suffer.

Whether it was something that came from the skies, grounds, or seas, as long as it was an ingredient that caught Ling Yun’s eye, he caught it for food. He was proficient at frying, steaming, and all sorts of cooking methods. Whatever it was, he could do it all. His cooking wasn’t inferior to his medical skills at all.

Of course, his culinary skill was just one interest out of his many hobbies. Cultivation was something that was extremely dry. As one progressed toward the final stages, it would get drier. If one couldn’t even enjoy delicacies, being alive would be far too miserable.

Now that Ling Yun was in the kitchen, the biggest problem he had wasn’t his culinary skills. His biggest problem was how to use the high-tech facilities in the kitchen. So, he needed Ning Lingyu’s help to demonstrate that for him.

In such a huge mansion, the kitchen was obviously large too. It was both bright and spacious, equipped with every piece of equipment a kitchen could have. Arriving at the kitchen, Ling Yun was overwhelmed with the entire space.

“This set of knives seems pretty good...”

It seemed like Zhuang Meifeng, Ning Er, and the others had really put in all their effort while renovating the mansion.

When Qin Dongxue and Ning Lingyu walked into the kitchen, he directly asked Ning Lingyu how to use the equipment, requesting a live demonstration from her.

Ling Yun’s memory and understanding were extraordinary. With just a single demonstration, Ling Yun understood it all.

Seeing that Ling Yun didn’t even know how to turn the gas stove on, Qin Dongxue was left speechless. She thought that it seemed like Ling Yun hadn’t even entered the kitchen before. How would he prepare the seafood well? Only in his dreams!

“Alright, you guys have fun here, your aunty will just wait outside...” Qin Dongxue had lost all expectations for dinner tonight. She turned and walked out without hesitation.

Ling Yun laughed quietly as he began cleaning out the various pieces of seafood. He nodded while he listened to Ning Lingyu’s explanation.

Ning Lingyu knew that Ling Yun had a great memory. Once he saw something once, he would never forget it. Hence, even though she knew that Ling Yun might not be able to prepare the seafood feast well, she continued explaining the kitchen equipment with extreme detail and seriousness.

That was because she enjoyed the feeling of spending time with her brother. It gave her an indescribable warmth. She indulged in it.

“Brother, let me help you clean out that seabass...”

Ning Lingyu had already finished with her explanation of most of the equipment, and she was about to help Ling Yun prepare the expensive sea bass.

“Ah!” When Ning Lingyu finally saw Ling Yun’s knife-handling skills, she was completely shocked! He cleanly removed the scales of the fish, expertly slicing its stomach open and removing its innards in one swift motion!

Ling Yun laughed continuously. “What, is it surprising to you? Tonight, you’ll have a good taste of my skills.”

“Woah... brother, y-you, where did you learn to cook? Your movements are even smoother than mom’s...”

Ning Lingyu was both shocked and surprised. Without looking at any other aspect, just by observing his knife-handling skills, it already left her anticipating more.

Ling Yun smiled dryly. “Lingyu, help Brother clean these abalones. Then, you can go out to sit and wait with Aunty. Leave the rest to me.”

The lobsters and crabs were still fresh and alive. There was no way Ling Yun would let Ning Lingyu’s hands be pierced by them.

...

“Oh god, what is this fragrance?”

Without letting Qin Dongxue and Ning Lingyu wait too long, the fragrance wafted throughout the entire house after half an hour.

The aroma of freshly-cooked seafood drifted out from the kitchen into Qin Dongxue and Ning Lingyu’s nostrils. It aroused both of their appetites completely!

Before, Qin Dongxue still felt thoroughly disappointed. Now, she started to wrinkle her well-shaped nose with all her might as she continuously swallowed her saliva.

“This brat, so he really does know how to cook. And this smell!”

Qin Dongxue was thoroughly stunned. She couldn’t sit still anymore. Ling Yun’s performance in the kitchen left Qin Dongxue even more shocked than his battle prowess. She felt that he was simply unbelievable.

“Aunty, do you like your fish steamed, braised, boiled, or marinated?” Ling Yun’s voice trailed from the kitchen as he began to prepare the fish.

“Braised...” Qin Dongxue was still in disbelief. She casually responded with her favorite.

“Sha...” Ling Yun began preparing the fish.

“Hm?”

“Woah!”

Qin Dongxue and Ning Lingyu simultaneously smelled a mesmerizing fragrance. It enveloped the entire mansion, drifting through it endlessly.

“God, it’s so fragrant...”

“How could there be such a smell in this world...”

The two stunning beauties didn’t even think about maintaining their image. They felt like even their noses weren’t enough as they opened their mouths wide to take a deep breath!

So fragrant! It was simply intoxicating!

Why wouldn’t it be? Ling Yun wasn’t using regular cooking oil, he was using dragon saliva instead!

There was only one way to describe his cooking — extravagant! It was so extravagant that it was extraordinary. If Miracle Doctor Xue, Dugu Mo, Miracle Physician Valley’s young valley master, Hu Shaobai, Long Tianyu, or the others heard that he was using the dragon saliva as cooking oil, they would have been thoroughly frustrated!

On top of that, Ling Yun was using two-thousand-year-old ginseng as ginger slices and three-thousand-year-old Chinese Knotweeds as garlic!

With that level of extravagance, even cultivation geniuses in the Great Cultivation World would be drowning in envy!

If Shennongjia’s Master Shennong were still alive and knew about this, he would be thoroughly disgusted by him too!

In the face of the dragon saliva, two-thousand-year-old ginseng, and Chinese Knotweeds, the value of the lobsters and abalones paled in comparison!

All of the expensive seafood was nothing but side-dishes!

Ling Yun’s culinary skills were already extraordinary. Together with these condiments, it would be strange if the dishes he made weren’t insanely aromatic.

The reason Ling Yun did this was for the two people in the living room, Qin Dongxue and Ning Lingyu.

Outsiders weren’t even qualified to enjoy Ling Yun’s hand-made cuisine, not to mention these extremely rare treasures that couldn’t be found easily!

“Ling Yun, h-how long before you’re done? Aunty can’t wait any longer, I want to eat now!”

Qin Dongxue was agitated as she rushed straight to the kitchen and shouted.

“Hehe, it’ll be done very soon...” Without rushing at all, Ling Yun responded leisurely.

“Let’s go, we’ll bring the dishes out together!” There was no way Qin Dongxue could sit still any longer. She stood up immediately and called for Ning Lingyu.

After ten minutes, seven impossibly aromatic dishes were served on the dining table. The color, scent, and presentation were flawless. Qin Dongxue and Ning Lingyu couldn’t help but swallow their saliva continuously.

A few minutes later, Ling Yun brought the succulent lobster out on a beautiful plate. It had a sparkling red shell and juicy white meat, and Ling Yun had even sprinkled some intoxicating dragon saliva on it. The presentation was simply exquisite and left everyone drooling non-stop!

After Ling Yun sat down, he saw that the two beauties had already picked up their chopsticks and selected the first dish to indulge in. Flashing a brilliant smile, he said, “Let’s eat! I’ve prepared this just for you two!”

Qin Dongxue and Ning Lingyu couldn’t wait any longer. It seemed like they had lost all of their usual restraint as they began wolfing everything down, eating as if they were a tornado whipping up everything in their path!

Nobody spoke a word. At a time like this, how could one have any words!

It was simply too delicious. Qin Dongxue was just short of swallowing her own tongue. When she started hiccupping non-stop and couldn’t stomach any more, she tapped her beautiful lips lightly. Staring dazedly at the leftovers on the plate, she said reminiscently, “That was really delicious. Ling Yun, why aren’t you eating?”

Ling Yun flashed a grin as he chuckled. “I’m afraid that Aunty and Lingyu won’t have enough to eat. I’ll eat after you...”

Qin Dongxue and Ning Lingyu just had the most unforgettable meal of their lives. On the other hand, Ling Yun enjoyed the appearance of the two fairies as they ate. On that day, they understood what it meant to have a stunning meal.
