Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Phew...phew...

Even though Qin Manyun was repressing herself with all her will, she could feel her breathing speed up. Her pupils dilated as she gave the pot of tea eggs a deadly stare.

No wonder the fragrance was so captivating. It was an Immortal treasure!

This tea contained Insights! It had to be an Immortal treasure!

He actually used these to boil the eggs? How wasteful!

So wasteful! This gave Qin Manyun a new understanding of the term ‘wasteful’. Her heart was twitching in pain!

She quickly averted her gaze, terrified that she might start tearing up the longer she stared at it. What hurt her the most was that these eggs were neither dragon eggs nor phoenix eggs. They were not even demon eggs! They were merely some ordinary chicken eggs! Even though the tea leaves were the main focus here instead of the eggs, this was still too wasteful!

Luckily, the brother and sister did not know what kind of tea eggs they were about to eat. Had they known, they would have been shocked and screamed instantly.

Gu Ziyao took out the box and handed it to Li Nianfan. “Mr. Li, here’s a small gift for you. I hope you like it.”

“Aw, look at you! You didn’t have to!” Li Nianfan shook his head. They were being too polite. The last time they met, the brother left him a couple of Spiritual Stones. Now, the sister brought him a gift? How polite!

“Mr. Li, this is just normal clothes, it’s nothing much. Sister Manyun mentioned you were picking out a dress for Miss Daji, that’s why I brought this over.” Gu Ziyao smiled.

Li Nianfan accepted the box. “You’re too kind. Thank you.”

The box was half-transparent, allowing the pure white tulle dress inside to be visible. The dress was inlaid with purple yarn while the two straps were inlaid with pearl-like ornaments, exuding a soft glow like a halo. The hem of the dress also had some golden flower prints, exuding an air of elegance, nobility, and glamour.

With just a glance, Li Nianfan knew that this dress was great for Daji, so he had to keep it. Seeing that Li Nianfan was keeping it, the brother and sister let out a sigh of relief. They were delighted! The expert seemed to be pleased. This was a great start!

They sat down uneasily. Then, they caught sight of the other dishes on the table. They realized that other than the tea eggs, there was also a pot of vegetable congee paired with a plate full of big, white steamed buns. There were also some smaller dishes and a fruit dish.

Breakfast was supposed to be the most nutritious meal of the day. Having too many dishes would be unhealthy. This amount was just right. Li Nianfan took out all of the ingredients he brought with him. Since he had guests, he could not give them a bad impression.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Qin Manyun’s eyes sparkled as her saliva oozed out.

An opportunity!

This meal was an opportunity!

It seemed that the expert was in a good mood today! What a treat! What a handsome treat!

Daji elegantly picked up a ladle to scoop some congee for each of them.

“Thank...thank you.” Gu Ziyao and her brother accepted the congee cautiously, their voices almost trembling.

She was an Immortal!

‘Father! Your children are making you proud! An Immortal is scooping us congee!’

‘However...I’m terrified! So terrified!’

Gu Ziyao looked at the congee in her hands. Her beautiful eyes admired them with a trace of surprise. She could see that every grain was bloated with congee juice—moist and thick. They sparkled like the stars reflected by the sea.

Furthermore, it was embellished with some green vegetables, making the congee less plain-looking. These green vegetables glittered in emerald green. Every slice was equally cut, looking neat and tidy.

This bowl of green congee exuded a great sense of beauty. Gu Ziyao swore that none of the delicious dishes she had eaten in her life was as good-looking as this bowl of congee!

Gradually, the fragrance of the congee overpowered the fragrance of the tea eggs, rushing into her nose and tempting her taste buds. She jolted slightly as she had goosebumps all over.

‘So tempting! I can’t take it anymore! I need to eat it now! I can’t hold on anymore!’

Gu Ziyao intended to maintain her graceful posture, but at this moment, she was unable to keep it up anymore. Hastily, she raised the bowl to her lips, and instead of taking a small sip, she gulped a big mouthful of it.

“Argh!”

When the congee touched her tongue, she let out a low moan of pleasure. It was like drinking the first sip of water in a desert, nourishing every corner of her body. Even her soul started to tremble. This feeling was too...too good!

Even though the congee seemed pasty, it was very easy to drink. As it was accompanied by fresh vegetables, the taste of the congee was at its best! If Gu Ziyao had not tasted this dish herself, she would never believe that a bowl of green congee could be this delicious!

Was this merely a bowl of green congee?

Gulp!

After she swallowed the mouthful of congee, her stomach seemed satisfied. Just as she was about to take a second mouthful, she froze abruptly. Her eyes went wide in disbelief!

Was...was that an Insight?

This congee contained Insights?!

What kind of Immortal congee was this?

Before she could let out a gasp, she heard her brother gasp as he jumped up from his seat.

“Wow!”

“This...this...this congee...” Gu Ziyu pointed at the pot of congee on the table with his trembling finger, sounding shocked like never before. He had a look of surprise on his face.

Instantly, the temperature of the room dropped to freezing point. Qin Manyun’s face was as pale as paper, while Gu Ziyao’s heart was in her throat. She had a look of pain in her eyes as she considered disowning this brother. Even though Daji’s face remained unchanged, she was ready to make Gu Ziyu vanish in the blink of an eye!

Everyone looked at Gu Ziyu all at once.

Feeling their sharp gazes pointed at him, Gu Ziyu could not help himself from shivering a little. He could feel a chill going down his spine. Instantly, he was reminded!

His mind went blank as he almost peed in his pants. He stuttered, “...too...too...delicious!”

He could feel his scalp itching and his eyes tearing up as he mumbled incoherently, “That... Mr. Li, please, excuse me... I... I’ve never eaten such a delicious dish... I was too excited. Really! Too delicious! So delicious that I want to cry! I’m crying!”

Li Nianfan laughed. “Don’t worry, eat more if you like it.”

He thought Gu Ziyu was going to take off his clothes!

This further proved that the food he made was indeed delicious! Even a rich kid like Gu Ziyu was so impressed! Of course, Li Nianfan was very pleased!
