I Just Won't Play By The Book

Chapter 146 Temptations of Delicacies

“There’s another bowl here, you can eat it.”

At this moment, Jiang Beiran placed a bowl of sweet water noodles in front of Mu Yao.

This time, Mu Yao didn’t push the bowl away. Instead, she picked up her chopsticks and said, “I’m getting a little bored of eating tofu, so I want to eat something else. It’s not that I want to eat your noodles desperately.”

Jiang Beiran could not be bothered with her and continued eating.

Although Jiang Beiran did not look at her, Mu Yao still picked up a strand of noodles and put it into her mouth.

As the gluten-like noodles broke in her mouth, the chewiness made her heart skip a beat.

“What is this red oil made of… why does it smell so good? Hmm… let me try another strand. I want to taste how the red oil is made. Hmm! That’s it.’

After convincing herself in her heart, Mu Yao picked up another noodle and ate it.

Then, she ate the third noodle strand, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth… She quickly finished the bowl of sweet water noodles.

“Phew…” Seeing that there wasn’t a single noodle left in the bowl, Mu Yao couldn’t help but feel a little shy. However, when she realized that the other two didn’t look at her, she heaved a sigh of relief.

“That meat… I wonder what it tastes like.” Mu Yao thought.

Seeing Kong Qianqian’s satisfied expression after eating the meat, Mu Yao couldn’t help but swallow her saliva again.

“No! It’s just some regular food. How can cultivators covet the desire of their stomachs!” After scolding herself in her heart, Mu Yao continued to take the plate with the tofu and started eating. However, after only two bites, she really couldn’t eat anymore.

“I clearly felt that Qianqian tofu was pretty good…” Mu Yao wondered.

“Senior sister, stop eating tofu. Try this. This is much better than tofu.” Kong Qianqian said as she placed a plate of blood curd in front of Mu Yao.

“What is this?” Mu Yao asked.

“I don’t know either.” Kong Qianqian shook her head and looked at Jiang Beiran. “Sir, what is this dish called?”

“Blood curd. It’s made from duck blood.”

“Blood!?” Kong Qianqian and Mu Yao were both shocked.

“Yeah.”

“Can you eat duck blood too?” Kong Qianqian asked.

“Aren’t you enjoying it?”

“Yeah.” Kong Qianqian continued to eat with her head down.

At this moment, Jiang Beiran suddenly asked curiously, “Can you tell what’s in this blood

curd?”

Upon hearing Jiang Beiran’s question, Kong Qianqian slowed down her chewing speed slightly and answered, “Hmm… it tastes like chicken soup.” “Oh? Your tongue is really amazing.” “Hehe.” After being praised, Kong Qianqian smiled foolishly. “My father is a chef, so I’ve eaten a lot of delicious food.” “Did you taste anything else?”

“Yes… There’s also sesame pepper, coriander, and the same red oil as in the noodles.”

“Not bad, you do have some talent in cooking.”

“Then please accept me as your disciple. In the future, you can teach me, and I’ll cook for

you.”

“Cough!”

Hearing her senior sister’s cough, Kong Qianqian decisively lowered her head and continued eating.

Cultivators’ appetites were much bigger than normal people’s. Soon, the table of dishes was finished. Even Kong Qianqian’s tofu was finished along with Jiang Beiran’s three-string meat.

During this time, when Mu Yao saw that no one was paying attention to her, she secretly ate a few mouthfuls of blood curd. If no one saw her ate the blood curd sneakily, then no one would know she ate it. So, she believed that she had held her ground.

After eating and drinking to their heart’s content, the four of them packed up the kitchen utensils into their storage rings and returned to Sturdy Bull’s carriage to continue their journey.

After traveling for a day and a night, Ah Niu saw a watch tower by the side of the road. He opened her curtain and asked, “Young Master Jiang, there’s a small town ahead. Do you want to find an inn to rest there?”

Without waiting for Jiang Beiran to speak, Kong Qianqian shouted first, “Sure, sure! Let’s go to the town and take a look.” After saying that, she grabbed Mu Yao’s arm and said, “Is that okay, Sister Mu?”

“Sigh, fine. Let’s go to the town and find an inn.’

Jiang Beiran was about to speak when three options popped up in front of him.

[ Option 1: Everyone goes to the town together. Reward for completion: Haunted Spirit Technique (middle tier black grade)]

[ Option 2: Let Kong Qianqian and Mu Yao go to the town. Reward for completion: Glazed Tile Knot (high tier yellow grade)]

[ Option 3: Don’t go to the town. Completion Reward: Random basic attribute points + 1]

“I knew it… Fortunately, I made preparations beforehand.”

The reason why Jiang Beiran liked to be a lone ranger most of the time was that he knew that if someone were to travel with him, that person would be targeted by this world together.

For example, if Mu Yao and the others came here by themselves, they would not encounter much trouble in the town ahead. However, when they were with him, the trouble would be magnified infinitely.
