Seeing his two cheap disciples in the mortal world only had eyes for the food on the table, and treated their master as if he were air, Cheng Xiaofan's face turned as grim as a rolled-up curtain, falling with a *slap*.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Cheng Xiaofan coughed heavily, as if to announce his presence. "Have you both finished cleaning yourselves?"
"Ah, Master!"
Upon seeing their Master sitting beside them, the two immediately realized they had lost all composure in front of such delicious food, and had behaved terribly.
*Thump!*
Long Xingyun and Jiang Xueyan both knelt before Cheng Xiaofan.
"Master, we were wrong!" they said in unison.
Seeing their utterly contrite expressions, Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but smile. "Get up, both of you. The dishes on the table were all made by me, to congratulate you on your new breakthroughs!"
"Master, you are simply too good to us!" Jiang Xueyan said emotionally.
Long Xingyun immediately added, "Master, you are our reborn parents. No matter when, we will never forget your immense kindness and virtue!"
"Let's forget it,"
Cheng Xiaofan frowned slightly, pursing his lips. "I'm not married yet, how can I have such grown children?"
"You've just broken through, and you were making noises like ghosts in the bathroom just now. You must have consumed a lot of energy. Hurry up and eat something!"
The latter part of his sentence made Jiang Xueyan so ashamed she wanted the ground to swallow her. She glared fiercely at Long Xingyun and whispered, "It's all your fault, acting like a bandit!"
Long Xingyun blushed, grinned, and looked as if he had gained a great advantage.
The two of them got up from the ground and eagerly sat down at the table. Each dish emitted an extremely rich and distinct aroma.
As these different scents wafted into their nostrils, their expressions became wonderfully varied.
*Hiss!*
"So fragrant!"
"Master, can we start eating?" Long Xingyun grabbed his chopsticks, licked his lips, and asked Cheng Xiaofan eagerly.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly and said, "I told you, this was specially made for you by your Master. You should have eaten long ago. Do you expect me to feed you myself?"
"Ah, thank you, Master!"
The two immediately raised their chopsticks, plunged them into the dishes, and stuffed the food into their mouths, eating with gusto.
"Hiss, this is too delicious!"
"Heavens, can a mortal make such food? This is clearly the work of immortals!"
"I feel like I'm about to become an immortal after eating this!"
"Are these green peppers from the Heavenly Court? Why do they taste so good!"
"Ah, this Ang Ding Long Fish, why does it taste so different from how it's prepared in hotels? It's unbelievably delicious!"
"Our Master is actually peerless in culinary skills!"
"Our Master's culinary skills should be unparalleled throughout the entire immortal realm!"
As they ate, the two did not forget to lick their lips... and their Master!
While eating, the two felt something was wrong again.
"Master, I feel filled with newly generated true qi, and I'm about to break through again!" Long Xingyun exclaimed with a shocked and astonished look.
At the same time, Jiang Xueyan also cried out in disbelief, "Master, I'm about to break through too!"
Looking at the two enveloped in true qi, Cheng Xiaofan was speechless. These two were indeed from hidden noble families, their spiritual roots were exceptionally good.
Two cups of Golden Tea allowed them to break through, and now, after eating food from another world, they were about to break through again.
How could the cultivators who spent their days around Nanshan Lake survive? Wouldn't they be driven mad with jealousy!
"Hurry up and go there to break through!"
Cheng Xiaofan pointed to the old woods.
"Thank you, Master!" The two hurriedly dashed out the door.
*Boom!*
Not long after, a deafening sonic boom erupted from the woods.
Under the setting sun, two streams of true qi rolled up trees and earth, soaring into the sky like mushroom clouds from within the woods.
The entire island in the lake seemed to experience an earthquake, shaking several times.
The loud noise from the island attracted the attention of those cultivators again.
"Heavens, that young man has broken through again!"
"How is this possible? In such a short period, this young couple has achieved two new breakthroughs consecutively? This has never happened in the history of ancient martial arts cultivation!"
"What kind of monster is this Cheng Xiaofan, and how is he helping them break through?"
"I've been fishing and stewing Ang Ding Long Fish for the past two days. Is it because my foundation is unstable or due to lack of talent, but I feel nothing at all?"
"I want to become Cheng Xiaofan's disciple, I wonder what the entrance fee is!"
Seeing Long Xingyun and Jiang Xueyan break through again, those cultivators' eyes turned green with envy.
When others cultivated, they sometimes had to endure for seven or eight years, or even decades, to achieve a rare breakthrough.
These two, however, managed two breakthroughs in one afternoon.
Some were so angry they wanted to draw their swords and commit suicide.
Why was the gap between people so vast?
In less than a moment.
Long Xingyun and Jiang Xueyan returned from the woods.
However, unlike last time, they returned wrapped in leaves.
During their breakthroughs, all their clothes had been torn to shreds.
As soon as they entered the house, a foul odor filled the entire room.
Fortunately, this time, Long Xingyun and Jiang Xueyan, without being instructed by Cheng Xiaofan, ran directly towards the bathroom.
Cheng Xiaofan quickly opened all the windows, which helped to dissipate much of the foul smell in the room.
There were still many dishes left on the table, but thinking of the stench in the room just now, he had lost all appetite for these delicacies from another world.
He would leave them for Long Xingyun and Jiang Xueyan to finish!
"Woof woof!"
As he thought this, the mischievous Bao Zi, the dog, bounded into the room.
*Master, don't always favor your two disciples. Am I not more loyal to you than they are?*
*Let your dog, Master, finish these delicacies from another world for you. I also want to find some breakthroughs through food!*
Without waiting for Cheng Xiaofan's permission, it leaped onto the table and began to sweep the plates with its mouth.
The mischievous dog clearly tasted the wondrous flavor of the alien cuisine. It devoured the remaining dishes like a storm, clearing them all in an instant.
The plates were licked clean as if washed with water, not a trace of residue remained.
"Woof woof!"
Bao Zi's voice was exceptionally excited. *Master, your dog is about to break through too!*
In Cheng Xiaofan's bewildered gaze, Bao Zi shot out of the door like lightning and, without needing any direction, ran towards the woods.
That patch of woods had quite a day this afternoon!
*Boom!*
Immediately, an even more shocking sonic boom erupted from the woods.
"Heavens, that dog that always follows Cheng Xiaofan has also broken through!" shouted some sharp-eyed cultivators at a high pitch.
Others sighed mournfully, "I now know that my life is not as good as that of a dog!"
