Thinking that he hadn't seen his mentor in many years and that she was coming to the provincial capital to visit him, Cheng Xiaofan, unable to rest, plunged into the space.
Within the Shennong Space, Cheng Xiaofan utilized its power to prepare several dishes, such as braised lobster chunks, steamed sea turtle meat, roasted wild boar, and shredded pork with green peppers.
The sea turtles were caught from Bai Mang Lake last time, and there was plenty of meat stored in the space.
Various vegetables were also cultivated in the space. The quality of these vegetables was completely different from those sold in the market, containing spiritual substances, and their taste and nutrition were beyond compare.
Cheng Xiaofan prepared a total of twelve dishes and a large pot of soup. The combination of color, aroma, and flavor was an absolute culinary masterpiece, enough to make one's mouth water uncontrollably.
Emerging from the space, Cheng Xiaofan realized it was still early before dawn. He immediately lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and rested.
He woke up to find that the sky was already bright!
Cheng Xiaofan went to the bathroom to wash up and returned to find that Meilina and Jin Yanyun had also woken up.
"Mr. Cheng, hello!" the two beauties greeted him in unison.
Cheng Xiaofan nodded at them with a smile.
"Meilina, has your head fully recovered by now?" he asked Meilina with a grin.
Upon hearing this, Meilina quickly replied, "Mr. Cheng, my head still feels a bit dizzy!" She knew that if she said she had recovered, Cheng Xiaofan would likely leave her side immediately.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Meilina, that must be your imagination. In reality, your head has completely healed."
"This morning, a university mentor of mine is coming all the way from the capital to visit me. We'll have lunch together, and I'll be heading back in the afternoon!"
"What, you're leaving this afternoon?" Meilina knew very well that the person standing before her was a divine physician, and no matter how she feigned, she couldn't hide anything from his eyes.
However, his intention to leave that afternoon brought on a feeling of reluctance.
Meilina couldn't help but ask again, "Mr. Cheng, after you leave, will those demonic cultivators come looking for trouble with me again?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Meilina, you don't need to worry about that. If they want trouble, they can only come to me; they won't bother you anymore."
"However, I'll be making a trip to Forsman Island soon to resolve the issue of the demonic cultivation world once and for all."
Hearing this, Meilina excitedly said, "Mr. Cheng, when you reach the United States, you must notify me! Please give me a chance to be a good host!"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and smiled, "Alright, I'll definitely call you then!"
He then said to Jin Yanyun, "I'll be hosting my mentor at the guesthouse here for lunch. Please inform Old Hua and have you both come over."
Jin Yanyun quickly replied, "Okay, I'll inform Director Hua shortly!"
After breakfast, Jin Yanyun asked Cheng Xiaofan what dishes he wanted to order for the lunch with his mentor so that the chef could prepare in advance.
Cheng Xiaofan waved his hand and smiled, "No need for the chef to prepare. I'll arrange the dishes for lunch myself!"
"You're going to cook yourself?" Meilina asked curiously.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly and said, "It's not impossible for me to cook. You may not know it, but I'm not only a master farmer and a divine physician, but also a very good cook!"
Meilina laughed, "I didn't expect you to be a chef too! I must taste the delicacies you make today!"
Jin Yanyun did not participate in this conversation.
She had already learned from the live stream video provided by Lu Shengming that Cheng Xiaofan was a master at preparing food.
He was a typical all-rounder; whatever others could do, he was adept at.
"Mr. Mei, when you're cooking, can I watch and learn from the side?" Meilina then asked Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan shook his head and said with mock seriousness, "Meilina, your request is very reasonable, and I shouldn't refuse it."
"However, my culinary skills are inherited, and certain procedures during the preparation process absolutely cannot be leaked to outsiders. Therefore, to avoid violating the oath I once took, I can only apologize and say that I cannot grant your request!"
Meilina listened and said, "It's okay, Mr. Cheng. I've also heard that every profession in China has its own unwritten rules. I understand your predicament!"
"Thank you for your understanding, Meilina!"
Cheng Xiaofan immediately stood up and said, "I need to go out for a bit to the market to buy some ingredients."
This was merely an excuse.
Otherwise, if he were to sit here chatting with the two beauties and then suddenly produce a table full of dishes for lunch, how would he explain it to them?
Upon hearing this, Jin Yanyun quickly said, "Mr. Cheng, please write down what ingredients you need, and I'll have someone purchase them for you!"
Meilina added, "Yes, Mr. Cheng, you are my attending physician and also my personal bodyguard. How can we let you go out to purchase ingredients!"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed heartily at their words, "You don't understand. My requirements for purchasing ingredients are quite strict, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to achieve that special taste."
"Just as I can see a person's health condition from their aura, and even know what they've been up to recently, it's the same with ingredients."
"Similarly, in the market, I can tell whether some ingredients contain a special spiritual substance, and this spiritual substance is precisely what I need. This is not something an ordinary chef can do!"
"..." Hearing him say this, the two beauties were rendered speechless.
Especially Meilina, after hearing Cheng Xiaofan's words, she felt as if she, a physics researcher, was utterly ignorant in front of him.
"Spiritual substance" was a term that was completely foreign to Meilina.
However, she had absolute faith in the existence of such a substance that Cheng Xiaofan spoke of.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have known what insidious means Hainuoji had employed against him at first glance.
"Mr. Cheng, you are truly an extraordinary person. After hearing what you said, I admire you even more!"
Meilina gazed at Cheng Xiaofan with her star-struck eyes and said, "If I have the chance in the future, I truly wish to become your disciple and learn more from you!"
"You two chat, I need to go to the market to get the supplies!" Cheng Xiaofan dared not continue chatting with her.
If they continued to talk, he feared the foreign beauty would cling to him like a leech on a egret's leg, impossible to shake off.
Ring ring!
Leaving the guesthouse, Cheng Xiaofan's phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw it was a call from his "White Goddess."
"Xiaofan, are you still in the provincial capital?" Cheng Xiaofan heard Bai Yiling's soul-piercing, gentle voice from the other end as soon as he answered the call.
