Lu Chen's Celestial Devil Astral Body took 15 days to recover. With such a big thing happening in King City, it was better for him to leave as soon as possible.
According to the route, Lu Chen planned his itinerary.
"This way, I can pass through seven cities and resupply on the way. I can also take on some commissioned missions to earn some cash coupons."
Speaking of cash coupons, Lu Chen had a headache. It was indeed inconvenient to be an unaffiliated cultivator. There was no fixed income for cash coupons.
The surroundings of King City were not safe, so Lu Chen sped up.
Two days later, Lu Chen arrived at the first transit city and took on the task of escorting a caravan.
The reward was not high. The caravan found a total of five cultivators. After escorting them to the nearest city, each person would be given 300 cash coupons.
It was not much, but the price of goods in the Dong Yue Nation was indeed tight. Three spirit vein mines had been destroyed and stopped mining, causing the cash coupons to be extremely scarce.
Three days later, the escort mission was completed. Lu Chen took on another escort mission in the same city and went to the next city.
…
Ten days later, Lu Chen arrived at Zhennan City. His next stop was Snow Mountain City.
"By the way, Xue 'er and Grand Uncle are near Snow Mountain City. I don't know if I will have a chance to meet them after leaving Dong Yue Nation. I should go and see them."
This time, Lu Chen gave up on accepting missions and went to the Snow Mountain Region alone.
The further northwest he went, the colder the weather became. The previous snow mountain had been destroyed, and the road was impassable. However, the surrounding mountains were still covered in snow all year round. When he entered the snow mountain region, it was a field of white snow.
After a day's journey, Lu Chen saw that it was getting late. He set up a bonfire under a rock and prepared to camp.
Little Green and Xiao Min were ghost pets after all. When Lu Chen did not use his Fighting Soul, they could only come out for a short while. Only Furball and Rhubarb had their own bodies and could accompany Lu Chen all the time.
These two guys were playing around in the snow. Lu Chen was too lazy to care about them. He was busy cooking dinner.
Lu Chen and Rhubarb were probably tired of eating grilled fish every day. In the previous city, Lu Chen had also bought some meat. At this time, he took out a Snow Rabbit, processed it, and skewered it on a branch to barbecue.
Barbecue without seasoning was soulless! Lu Chen naturally wouldn't treat himself unfairly.
"Oil, cumin, chili, and some salt … Hmm, I feel that if I go back and open a barbecue restaurant, even Old Xu's Barbecue Restaurant won't have as good a business as mine." Lu Chen took a deep breath, and a rich aroma wafted into his nose.
Rhubarb was no longer playing around with Furball. It stood beside Lu Chen and stared at the barbecue with eager eyes. It was so anxious that it was about to cry.
"Don't worry, don't worry, the heat isn't right yet. Let's barbecue for a while more so that the flavor will enter. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Take a bite, tsk tsk tsk, that taste …" Lu Chen said as he swallowed his saliva. "Oh, I still have some Chen Liang wine.
At this moment, Big Yellow suddenly realized something and barked as it looked at the night sky in the distance.
Lu Chen raised his head and saw a woman in white walking over.
"Hmm? It's so late at night. Where did such a beauty come from in the wilderness? "Lu Chen suddenly frowned.
Of course, in the Jiutian wilderness, Lu Chen instinctively increased his vigilance when meeting strangers.
The woman walked over and her gaze stopped on Lu Chen for a few seconds. No one knew what she was thinking.
"Miss, you …" Lu Chen found that this woman had a badge on her chest, but it was covered with a layer of fog. It seemed to be the effect of some kind of rune, which made him unable to see the other party's cultivation level.
"Miss, is there something you need?"
The woman's slightly vigilant gaze seemed to relax. "What did you call me?"
Lu Chen was a little confused. Was it wrong for him to call her Miss? What else should he call her?
"You didn't tell me your name. If I don't call you Miss, you didn't tell me your name."
That person frowned slightly. After thinking for a while, it seemed to make sense.
Interesting!
"Hey, what level of cooking master are you?" the woman asked.
"9 stars. What's wrong?"
"Nothing. The rabbit meat you roasted seems to be very fragrant. It's different from the other 9 star cooking masters I know." The woman's gaze finally moved away from Lu Chen and fell on the roasted meat.
"Oh, I added some barbecue seasonings from my hometown. It's different from the usual recipes." Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the other party was attracted by his roasted meat.
"Hey, you can't be thinking about my roasted meat, right?" Lu Chen said. "Rhubarb can eat at least two-thirds of it. There's no share for you here."
The woman looked at the Rhubarb dog beside Lu Chen with surprise. He actually warned me in order to leave food for a dog!
This guy really has guts!
The aroma of the roasted meat had already spread. That tempting smell made people unable to help but swallow their saliva.
Speaking of which, I really haven't walked around alone for a long time. Usually, I'll leave the trivial matters to others to do.
In order to track this guy, she hadn't eaten a full meal for several days.
Coming to the Great Snow Mountain, the temperature plummeted, and people became hungry quickly. In addition, this guy's roasted meat was really tempting. The woman really couldn't help it.
Why don't I just rob him?
Gu gu gu, the woman's stomach failed to live up to her expectations and growled.
After Lu Chen and the woman discovered it at the same time, the atmosphere became a bit awkward.
Are you hungry to this extent?
Finally, Lu Chen sighed. "Forget it, forget it. I'm not very hungry. You guys eat. Come on."
Lu Chen cut a piece of thigh meat and handed it to the woman. Looking at the rest of the rabbit meat, he gave it all to Rhubarb with a heartache.
The woman took the branch and gently took a bite. Suddenly, a strange taste spread on the tip of her tongue. With a bite, the delicious meat filled her taste buds. This kind of satisfying feeling made people forget to leave.
In a state of hunger, ordinary food is a delicacy, not to mention such a unique delicacy!
The woman widened her eyes and looked at Lu Chen in surprise, "Delicious!" After saying that, she couldn't wait to take another bite.
Lu Chen smiled, "Look at you being so impatient. Eat slowly."
Rhubarb's side was absolutely sweeping away the food. Seeing this, even the little furball was greedy. This guy who didn't like dead things actually forcefully snatched a piece of meat from Rhubarb to taste it.
The three guys were eating, one uglier than the other. Lu Chen was really hungry and helplessly took out another fish to roast.
"Look at your table manners, I originally said I wouldn't eat …"
However, after the fish was roasted, the woman finished eating the rabbit leg and looked at Lu Chen eagerly.
"No way, you're still not full?"
The woman eagerly nodded, "I've been hungry for several days …"
"This … Forget it, I'll give it to you."
"Is that wine you're drinking?" The woman was still not satisfied with the roasted fish. Her gaze fell on the wine glass in Lu Chen's hand.
At this point, there was no need to say anything more. Lu Chen tactfully handed the wine glass to the woman.
Half an hour later, after eating and drinking to their fill, Rhubarb and the little furball fell asleep. Lu Chen looked at the woman, "You're still not leaving?"
The woman wiped her mouth, her face slightly red. Her pair of sparkling eyes looked at Lu Chen and her voice was slightly drunk, "I'm a little scared in the snow mountain alone. Can I go with you?"
