Chapter 493: There Are Still Two Heads
Chapter 493: There Are Still Two Heads
...
"What's that smell..."
"So fragrant! Even better than spicy strips!"
"It seems to be coming from the Ancestor's cave—are the Ancestor and Sect Master cooking something?"
The cola chicken wings weren't even finished yet, but their aroma had already spread for miles. All the Moon Shadow Sect disciples were sniffing the air eagerly, mouths watering.
Su Qinian, who had been playing with the spinning old man in the washing machine, suddenly stopped. His sharp gaze turned toward the Slanted Moon Three Stars Cave.
"Old Zhang and Old Li aren't here—no one to compete with me! Heheh!"
With those words, he shot out from the washing machine like a cannonball, flying straight toward the Slanted Moon Three Stars Cave.
...Meanwhile, Chen Huaian placed the cola chicken wings on the table. Li Qingran was already drooping with anticipation, completely unable to focus on cultivation.
This should have been impossible—she was at the Nascent Soul stage with numerous innate talents. How could she be so lacking in self-control? Even if presented with a full imperial banquet or every flavor of spicy strips and instant noodles, she wouldn't even blink once while meditating.
Yet now she was utterly distracted by the tantalizing aroma. Only when the food was served did Li Qingran realize that dishes could literally glow.
The cola chicken wings before her were indeed glowing! The light brown sauce shimmered with an amber luster under the faint light. Each wing was coated in a crystal-clear sugar glaze—the sticky syrup formed as the cola reduced—exuding an intoxicating blend of caramel and spices.
"Master, you... you should eat first."
Despite her craving, Li Qingran restrained herself.
"I already ate in the kitchen."
What a considerate disciple, always thinking of her master first. Chen Huaian felt warmed as he picked up a chicken wing and held it to Li Qingran's lips. "Here, say 'ah~' and open up." ṙἈƝŏBËᶊ
With the delicacy right before her, Li Qingran finally surrendered, parting her lips to take a delicate bite. The skin gave way to tender, juicy meat that slid effortlessly off the bone, while the rich sauce had penetrated every fiber—sweet yet savory, bursting with flavor.
The chicken seemed to melt into liquid the moment she swallowed. Even after it was gone, Li Qingran couldn't help but swallow hard again.
Then something remarkable happened—her True Essence stirred violently, its circulation visibly accelerating.
"Master! These cola chicken wings actually have effects similar to pills?!" Li Qingran's eyes widened.
Food with medicinal properties was considered medicinal cuisine—something she'd experienced before. But never anything this delicious.
As the saying goes, "good medicine tastes bitter." Most medicinal ingredients were inherently unpalatable, making it nearly impossible to craft them into gourmet dishes.
Li Qingran picked up another piece, carefully analyzing it to identify what herbs Master had used and how he'd masked their bitterness. But to her astonishment, there were no herbs at all—just ordinary chicken and cola, the latter being junk food by definition. These ingredients shouldn't have been capable of producing pill-like effects.
"This... is the Dao!" Chen Huaian smiled mysteriously. "When one masters the Dao of Cuisine to its peak, they can imbue food with spiritual essence. The type of essence depends on the ingredients' nature and the cook's intent.
"Chicken has warming properties, so I enhanced it to stimulate True Essence flow—similar to Qi Gathering Pills but without their side effects. No potential overdraft, no diminishing returns from overuse."
"So... so incredible!" Li Qingran gazed at Chen Huaian with starry eyes. "Master, how did you achieve this? Being peerless with the sword is one thing, but attaining enlightenment through cooking too!"
For once, Chen Huaian genuinely felt proud of his girlfriend's praise. When she complimented his swordsmanship before, he'd felt like a fraud—anyone could be formidable with the Electronic Girlfriend system.
But cooking was different. He'd truly suffered for a hundred years within the Fleeting Dream to master this skill.
"Ancestor! Sect Master! Are you there?"
Su Qinian's desperate shout came from outside: "Something terrible has happened!"
Frowning, Chen Huaian immediately checked his map for red dots, fearing a demon attack—but found none. What emergency could this be?
Opening the door, his vision darkened. The small clearing outside was packed wall-to-wall with Moon Shadow Sect disciples. At the forefront stood a haggard-looking Su Qinian.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Chen Huaian focused on Su Qinian.
"Ancestor, quickly!"
Su Qinian extended a withered hand, pitifully pleading: "Let me have just one bite... I'm literally starving to death here!"
Chen Huaian: "..."
"GET LOST—!"
...
Only after repeatedly promising to return to the Slanted Moon Three Stars Cave that night did Li Qingran finally release Chen Huaian. Being in a relationship definitely changed things—where she used to cling to him subtly, now she did so openly.
She practically wanted to chain herself to him 24/7.
And she'd recently adopted Lin Daiyu's dramatic tendencies, giving him constant headaches.
The moment Chen Huaian removed his VR headset, his phone screen lit up with game notifications:
[Feeding Complete!]
[Your Electronic Girlfriend's Affection +50]
[Current Affection: ♡♡♡♥20 (Divine Wandering in the Void Count: 1)]
[Affection Requirement Met: Absolute Physical Sensation Unlocked. Continue increasing affection to unlock more sensations!]
——Electronic Girlfriend Log——
21:00: Master is coming to sleep with me tonight! So happy!
Haven't bathed in a while... Though I don't smell, maybe I should try that Hundred Flower Cream Mo Shumei recommended? She says it makes you extra fragrant and enhances Dao Companion intimacy! Hehe!
Thought about Master x4,587,231 times.
————————
Chen Huaian shuddered.
Holy hell.
They should rename this game.
Call it "My Electronic Succubus Girlfriend" instead.
Having hand sensations was intense enough. Now they're unlocking full-body sensations except for the head? What's next?!
Wait...
Not entirely full-body.
Technically, everything except two heads.
...
Exiting the airship cabin, Chen Huaian found Wang Shouyi waiting outside.
"Senior, we've arrived at Wind Spirit Sect."
Wang Shouyi gazed grimly at the distant mountain.
"Senior, what are your thoughts on Wind Spirit Sect?"
Chen Huaian pondered briefly. "This venerable one... will view it sitting down?"
"That's not what I meant." Wang Shouyi sighed. "You saw during the Celestial Jade Marrow competition—Wind Spirit Sect isn't just powerful, they've modified firearms and even snatched treasures from Great Thunder Temple's jaws... Her Eminence's orders are to invite their sect leader to Kunlun Immortal Palace as a guest."
He paused, his expression growing graver.
"Senior... our mission is extremely challenging!"
Chen Huaian's lips twitched.
Challenging?
"Senior, truthfully, I got beaten black and blue last time at Wind Spirit Sect. Their leader is a monster—I couldn't even fight back!"
Fear flashed in Wang Shouyi's eyes.
Chen Huaian waved dismissively.
"Let's go, Little Wang. This venerable one will take you."
He strode confidently toward Wind Spirit Sect's gates.
"Senior, you..."
Wang Shouyi watched Chen Huaian's retreating back in confusion.
He didn't understand.
Despite having explained Wind Spirit Sect's dangers...
His senior seemed utterly unconcerned, moving with such ease that it didn't feel like visiting a hostile sect.
