"Can that thing be exchanged for food?" Lan Xi muttered, "Why didn’t you say so earlier!"

In everyone’s view, she took out the Blood Jade Fan and rummaged around in the Blood Jade Space.

Then she pulled out a shiny, glittering gold brick.

Rong Feng had a full head of black lines looking at his mentor’s grand gesture and couldn’t help but ask, "I remember there was no such thing in the Blood Jade."

"I had erected a column in front of the Caixia Pavilion, but I found it too much of a hindrance, so I smashed it. I intended to throw it away but, fearing it might hurt someone, I put it in the Blood Jade. It’s been there for ten thousand years and I forgot about it.

" Lan Xi nonchalantly tossed the gold brick to Rong Feng, "Is this enough for a meal? "

Rong Feng looked at his mentor with a twitch at the corner of his mouth and said, "Mentor, this is going to draw envy."

He remembered how much trouble he went through to earn money in the Mortal World.

He had been a bodyguard, told fortunes, ran errands, did odd jobs... and at his most pitiful, he even scrubbed toilets...

Lan Xi blinked, "Not enough? If it’s not enough, I can give you another piece!"

Rong Feng quickly waved his hands, "It’s enough, it’s enough. It’s just that this one is too big, I’m afraid the store won’t be able to break it. Just split it into finger-sized grains."

It was a good thing they were in a private room, or it would have been big trouble.

Just now, he was about to stop his mentor from extending the old man’s life, but as his mentor was so fond of candy figurines, and with the two youngsters by their side eagerly eating away, he went along without caring.

It was embarrassing to admit it out loud.

After all, eating without paying is quite shameful.

He hoped it wouldn’t cause too much of a sensation.

With a casual wave of her hand, the gold brick in front of Lan Xi turned into pieces of broad bean-sized golden beans.

Rong Feng and the others, including Mi Xi, had their eyes glued to the sight.

"Amazing, worthy of being my mentor!" Rong Feng quickly gathered all the golden beans and put them into a cloth bag.

He dutifully filled four large bags; now there was money for wine in the future.

Rong Feng let out a howl, pushed Mi Xi away, sat close to Lan Xi, and said with a beaming smile, "Mentor, you’re incredible."

Mi Xi was speechless, it’s just some gold after all!

Although Taibai Hall wasn’t as luxurious as the Goddess Palace, the plaques in the attic and the beams in the house were all made of gold.

When he returns, he’ll just dig them out from the rubble.

San Qi quietly licked her candy.

Chaos devoured everything on the table that was edible.

Lan Xi cocked her head and asked the dazed Shaoqing beside her in a low voice, "Ah Qing, are you missing home?"

Shaoqing lifted his cool, dark eyes and shook his head, "My mother and I depended on each other since childhood. The year I got the Dew Grass, I went back to find mother had passed away, her soul was gone. I have no kin left."

It was the first time Lan Xi had heard him speak of his past.

She remembered meeting him when she was five hundred years old.

She had casually asked him to keep her company, never expecting he would actually show up.

Not only did he come, but he also waited for her for three days.

"Ah Qing, would you be willing to go back to the Mortal World?" Lan Xi genuinely asked him.

The things Mi Xi had said to him, she had considered them herself.

The Heavens were ultimately not suited for him, and now the secret of the Heavenly Sword was still unknown. Once someone with ill intentions found out...

She didn’t dare think of the consequences...

Upon hearing this, Shaoqing suddenly raised his head, his icy gaze locking onto Lan Xi with a touch of panic in his expression, "Are you trying to drive me away?"

Panic filled his voice.

At that moment, Mi Xi turned his head to look at Lan Xi.

If possible, he wished that she would let go now.

After all, they were people from different worlds.

But Lan Xi bit her lip, worried that he might misunderstand, and quickly shook her head, "No, I’m just asking. If you like the Mortal World, I won’t force you to stay by my side."

In truth, knowing that he didn’t want to leave, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

If he were to leave, her future days would be much more boring.

"Lan Xi, unless I die, I will stay by your side for all eternity," Shaoqing proclaimed earnestly, his dark eyes resembling an oath as he looked at Lan Xi.

Lan Xi immediately smiled, her eyes curving, and she reached out to touch his head, saying cheerfully, "Ah Qing is the best."

Mi Xi’s face darkened. Couldn’t they display their affection in private?

It seemed Lan Xi treated his words as if they were a gust of wind passing by.

Keeping Shaoqing by her side would ultimately harm him.

Three Seven and Chaos immediately clapped their hands in approval.

Over the years in No-return Valley, they had taken care of Shaoqing as if he were the man of the house, for ten thousand years.

Now seeing Lan Xi and Shaoqing getting along so well, of course, they were happy!

"Rong Feng, why is the food in the Mortal World so delicious?" Chaos asked, holding a roast chicken and taking big bites.

Rong Feng crossed his arms and cast a sideways glance at him, saying indifferently, "Immortals don’t need to eat, so naturally no one studies gourmet food.

On the odd occasion that we do eat, it’s merely to satisfy our own palates.

Eating too much can actually harm our bodies.

Humans are different; they need food to survive.

It’s something everyone must consume, so over time, naturally, people studied it.

After countless years of evolution and survival of the fittest, what we see now is the result. "

Chaos and Three Seven nodded in understanding, their eyes fixed on the dish, holding their food and eating quickly, as if afraid someone would snatch it away from them.

"This one Golden Bean is enough for you to eat a whole table of food, so don’t rush, let’s enjoy it slowly," Rong Feng said with a smile.

"Three Seven, eat less. Eating too much of this is not good for you," Chaos said, the beast that he was, there was nothing he couldn’t eat.

However, Three Seven was a Spiritual Medicine, born in the Blood Demon Sea, and should avoid too much contact with the mundane.

No sooner had Chaos finished speaking than Three Seven clutched his stomach with a pale face, looking at everyone in pain, "It’s no good, I hurt!"

"I told you not to compete with me," Chaos said with a smug smile.

Three Seven ran off to squat in the latrine.

Mi Xi: "..." No dignity at all!

Although Lan Xi was an immortal and had powerful Mana, eating a little of these things wouldn’t harm her, but she did not overeat.

Despite the deliciousness, lacking in Immortal Spirit Qi naturally took away from the culinary experience.

She was still very concerned about finding the Primordial Demon Dragon.

Shaoqing was quiet, mostly watching them eat.

Just as the group enjoyed a rare moment of leisure.

The door to their private room was suddenly knocked upon.

Rong Feng stood up to open the door.

When the door opened, there stood a straight line of guards, each holding a broadsword.

The leader of the guards glanced directly inside the room, and seeing the people exactly as described by the passerby, immediately drew his sword and pointed it at Rong Feng, "Our official invites you to come to the Yamen."

"?" Rong Feng looked over the guards before him with displeasure, "Pointing a sword at us, have we broken the law?"

"Impersonating immortals, causing chaos, if you refuse to go, your accomplices in the fraud will be executed on the spot," the guard said, pulling out a portrait from his bosom. The portrait was of a young man.

Rong Feng was puzzled; all of their people were here, so what accomplices could there be?

He used Immortal Technique to find out that the man in the portrait was the old man who sold candy figures.
