Under the pitch-black night sky, Xu Que brought a pile of firewood over. He then condensed his Qi into a wisp of Fire Element Spiritual Qi and lit it up.
The sound of the firewood crackling woke Zi Xuan and the Flaming Sun Princess up.
"Master Hua, what are you …" Zi Xuan's eyes widened in shock.
The three of them were running for their lives. If he were to light a fire in the middle of the night, wouldn't that attract the attention of the enemies?
Xu Que waved his hands and replied calmly, "We've been on the road for a whole day. It's time for us to eat something. You don't have to worry about the assassins. When I was gathering firewood, I laid down a spell that was passed down from my ancestors. This spell can only be broken by an Infant Transformation Stage cultivator. Once they come near, they will definitely die!"
He spoke very seriously, causing Zi Xuan and the Flaming Sun Princess to be stunned.
"Master Hua, you're actually an expert in spells?" Zi Xuan asked in surprise.
Xu Que smiled shyly, "I know a little. Killing a few Original Infant Stage cultivators shouldn't be a problem!"
"This …" Zi Xuan opened her mouth wide in astonishment.
The Flaming Sun Princess frowned and replied coldly, "I've never heard of any spell in this world that can kill an Original Infant Stage cultivator."
Zi Xuan hurriedly nodded her head, "That's right. Master Hua, please extinguish the fire. If you attract the assassins here, we won't be able to escape!"
"It's alright. Believe me. That spell was passed down from my ancestors. It can definitely kill an Original Infant Stage cultivator!" Xu Que laughed.
Actually, he didn't even lay down any spell. He just didn't have the patience to waste any more time. He wanted to take the opportunity to lure the assassins over and kill them all in one fell swoop.
This way, he could kill two birds with one stone. Not only would he be able to eliminate the danger of the two ladies, he would also earn experience and act tough points. It was a win-win situation.
Xu Que didn't speak any further. He then took out a few marinated chicken wings and placed them on the grill. He then started barbecuing!
Zi Xuan was astonished, "Master Hua, you … You're eating this? These are chicken wings. There's no meat in them. You can't eat them. "
The Flaming Sun Princess frowned as well as her face turned cold.
Within the Imperial Palace, only high quality food would be served on the table as part of the Imperial Cuisine. Poultry like chickens were not qualified to be part of the Imperial Cuisine. Hence, no matter how hungry she was, even if a whole chicken was placed in front of the Flaming Sun Princess, she wouldn't even bat an eye at it. What's more, a chicken wing that even the commoners wouldn't eat?
But now, this "Hua Wu Que" was taking such a huge risk just for a few pairs of grilled chicken wings!
"It's edible. You'll know later." Xu Que was already a little distracted. Although he liked to flirt with girls, he loved to show off and eat delicious food more!
Actually, they could only blame Zixuan and Zhang Xuan for this. Their hair and faces were covered in dust. How could they compare to the temptation of acting cool and the delicacies? If the two of them were to casually freshen up and restore their former appearances, it would probably be a different story.
"Chicken wings are such a low quality ingredient. Even mortals would throw them away and yet you use them as food. Aren't you a little too hungry to be picky?" The Flaming Sun Princess opened her mouth once again but this time, her words were a little harsh.
When Xu Que heard this, he was displeased. He raised his eyebrows and replied plainly, "Oh!"
The Flaming Sun Princess furrowed her brows in anger. Just as she was about to scold him, "How dare you!", Zixuan's reaction was faster than her. She tugged at her sleeves, indicating that she shouldn't act rashly.
The Flaming Sun Princess took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice, "Extinguish the fire. Once we reach the Imperial City, we will definitely treat you to the finest dishes …"
"Chi!"
At this point, the skin of the chicken wings started to heat up. The oil dripped into the fire, emitting a light sizzling sound.
A thick fragrance permeated the air, refreshing the mind.
The Flaming Sun Princess was stunned.
Even Zixuan was dumbfounded. Chicken wings … actually had such a fragrance?
Xu Que's lips curled into a smile. He knew that the food in this world wasn't good. Even if one's status was high and they had eaten all sorts of delicacies, so what? Compared to these chicken wings, they were far inferior.
"The last time I saw that old beggar, his cultivation level was higher than an Infant Transformation Stage cultivator. He even boasted that he had eaten all sorts of delicacies. In the end, didn't he still succumb to my chicken wings? You're just two girls from the Imperial City. I don't believe that you can withstand such delicacies! "Xu Que thought to himself.
Soon after, seeing that the fire was almost ready, Xu Que took out a bottle of high quality honey and started to brush it on the chicken wings.
"Chi la!"
White smoke rose up as the aroma became stronger and stronger. The smell of charcoal and the special spices was enough to make anyone's mouth water.
The Flaming Sun Princess and Zixuan opened their eyes wide, unable to speak a single word.
Compared to their hunger, they were more shocked. A few ordinary chicken wings had actually been turned into treasures in the hands of this "Hua Wu Que". He had even roasted them into food that smelled and tasted good. It was truly shocking!
"Ladies, do you want a mild or medium spicy one? Or insanely spicy one? "At this point, the honey in Xu Que's hand had already turned into a bottle of chili powder. He turned his head and asked the two ladies with a smile.
The Flaming Sun Princess didn't reply. Zixuan was stunned for some time before replying, "Mild … Mild spicy!"
"Alright!" Xu Que laughed and replied.
In the pitch black night, under the full moon, next to a pile of firewood.
The warm charcoal fire illuminated Xu Que's exquisite face, making it look extremely bright.
With a flick of his wrist, bits of chili powder fell like rain onto the golden chicken wings, as though they were embellished with cinnabar.
This scene was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the two ladies.
After all, a man who was serious was the most handsome!
After all, Xu Que had an additional 20 points of charm on him!
The two ladies stared blankly at Xu Que as he finished cooking. It was only when two fragrant chicken wings were placed in front of them that they regained their senses.
"It's been a tiring day. Let's eat something and happily return to the Imperial City." Xu Que revealed a warm smile.
Under such an atmosphere, a man and a widow … Err, a man and two women, alone in the dead of the night.
A person's inner defenses were usually at their weakest.
Xu Que's actions and smile, in addition to his charm, had a huge impact on the two ladies.
One of them was the Princess and the other was the Princess' best friend. The two of them had always been the center of attention and had enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.
However, they were the pride of the heavens. Regardless of whether it was Zi Xuan or the Flaming Sun Princess, their hearts were proud and aloof.
But now, Xu Que was like a big brother who had suddenly descended upon them, giving them a feeling that they had never felt before. This feeling was called being taken care of and having someone to rely on.
Facing such a wonderful feeling, Zi Xuan chose to accept it.
She smiled sweetly and looked at Xu Que with her innocent eyes. She took the pair of roasted chicken wings and thanked him with a voice as soft as a mosquito's.
As for the Flaming Sun Princess, she was a proud and aloof person. Facing such a feeling, she was flustered.
Hence, she subconsciously chose to resist.
Her face turned cold as she turned her head away and said, "Take it away. I will not eat this."
The moment she said this, she paused and realized that she had said the wrong thing. The word 'I' was enough to reveal too much information.
Zi Xuan's face changed.
