"A person, in their lifetime, to be able to drink such a cup of tea, is a great fortune!"
For Shen Ruobing to utter such words left the beauties present thoroughly shocked.
Shen Ruobing cherished tea as her life. She had tried almost all the famous teas, both domestic and international, and often lamented that despite the great fame of some teas, none could truly satisfy her.
"Sister Ruobing, in your heart, what kind of tea is this?" Mo Yunying asked curiously.
Shen Ruobing pondered for a moment and said, "How to put it? You wouldn't be wrong to call this tea 'immortal tea'."
"This doesn't just refer to its exquisite taste, but it also contains a kind of spiritual energy that can improve your body's functions and allow your potential to achieve a certain breakthrough!"
"You could say this is a spirit tea. The person who can cultivate such a tea is equivalent to an immortal being!"
This last sentence utterly dismissed Cheng Xiaofan.
The implication was clear: telling Bai Yiling not to deceive herself any longer. Cheng Xiaofan was just an ordinary person; how could he possibly cultivate such a tea!
In the kitchen, Cheng Xiaofan was secretly astonished. Was the evaluation this beauty named Shen Ruobing gave him too high?
Was he an immortal being?
He had never noticed any trace of celestial aura about himself.
However, among these beauties, Cheng Xiaofan noticed that his goddess Bai Yiling was constantly at a disadvantage.
This pained him!
If these beauties were not Bai Yiling's sisters, he would have slapped them with a row of open palms, forcing them to kneel and apologize to his goddess.
When had his goddess ever been treated like this?
Hmph!
I can't stand it anymore!
I'm going to reveal the truth to them!
I... am not an ordinary person at all!
What a bunch of idiots!
Could an ordinary person be favored by a goddess?
He immediately dialed Bai Yiling's number: "Yiling, please clear the tea set from the table. I'm about to serve the dishes!"
"Okay, I'll clear it right away!"
Bai Yiling hung up the phone and had just finished clearing the tea set from the table when, with a whoosh, a figure soared into the air, spun gracefully in mid-air, and floated in.
Caught off guard, everyone was startled by this figure.
Was it a ghost in broad daylight?
But upon closer inspection, they were all dumbfounded. The person who appeared before them was Cheng Xiaofan.
He stood with his arms outstretched, each holding six plates of food stacked on his forearms, and on his head, he balanced a pot of steaming hot soup.
Instantly, the entire pavilion was filled with a tantalizing aroma.
Cheng Xiaofan flicked his arms, tilted his head slightly, and before the beauties' eyes could even follow, the twelve plates of dishes were neatly arranged on the table.
The pot of steaming hot stewed wild chicken with mushrooms was placed in the center of the table.
"Ah, how did you do that?" Liu Wanqing asked, her face filled with astonishment.
Cheng Xiaofan shrugged his shoulders with a look of deep suffering, lamenting, "When I was studying in the capital, I worked part-time in hotels during my winter and summer breaks and learned this skill."
"Alas, my family was truly poor back then. To earn tuition fees, I gave it my all, and that's how I learned this unique skill of serving dishes!"
"..." Alright, we'll believe you then!
But!
Lu Yinshuang raised the crucial question: "Hey, Cheng Xiaofan, this is the top of the villa, three stories high. How did you get up here?"
Such a scene could only be seen in movies.
It was utterly impossible in real life.
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly and, out of habit, switched to his serious-yet-blatantly-lying mode, saying, "It's nothing much. I'm a child who grew up in the mountains, wild and untamed. I often climbed trees to find bird nests and went into rivers to catch fish and shrimp. Climbing high and low like this, it's all practice."
"I remember once, I was picking wild fruits in the deep mountains and somehow angered a wolf. It lunged at me. Scared, I let out a cry and ran for my life."
"Oh my, I was truly terrified that time. I don't know how it happened, but just as the wolf was about to catch up, I leaped and somehow flew more than two meters into the air, landing on a large tree."
"Afterward, I finally understood that it was at the moment of life and death that my body's powerful potential was unleashed, allowing me to escape death."
"Later, I practiced this potential in the deep mountains whenever I had free time, gradually mastering the lightness of being like a feather and the art of soaring through the air."
"Alright, believe it or not. I'll go down and get some wine for you!"
With that, he immediately leaped from the top of the villa, circled in the air once, and then floated down.
"Heavens, this Cheng fellow can really fly!"
"This is typical martial arts ability of a rogue thief from the movies!"
"Bai Yiling, you're not seriously taken by him just because of this skill, are you?"
"Yes, Bai Yiling, if you chose to settle down in Zhuxi Village solely because of this skill, it's not worth it!"
"Such abilities as climbing walls and running on rooftops, while perhaps respected in olden times, have no value in modern society."
"Yiling, you must have been poisoned by too many martial arts novels, and that's why Cheng Xiaofan has captivated you!"
"..." What could Bai Yiling say?
The imaginations of these sisters were truly wild!
It made it impossible for her to continue the conversation.
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan had just entered the kitchen. Hearing the words spoken by the beauties on the villa roof, he almost collapsed.
Damn it!
What did they think he was?
It seemed that for his goddess Bai Yiling's sake, he really had to show them a real skill!
Cheng Xiaofan took bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen, retrieved a few bottles of happy wine from his spatial storage, and with another leap, flew back up to the rooftop.
"Wow, what kind of fish is this? It's so delicious!"
"Good heavens, I've eaten plenty of Chinese brocade lobsters, but why does this lobster taste so amazing?"
"This stir-fried tiger skin peppers tastes different! It's too good! Where can I buy this?"
"Oh my, even the taste of this cabbage is extraordinary! Just smelling it makes one intoxicated!"
"Bai Yiling, it's a waste if Cheng Xiaofan doesn't become a chef!"
"By the way, Yiling, ask Cheng Xiaofan, I want to hire him as a chef for my company. I'll pay him 150,000 yuan a month. See if he'll agree!" Lu Yinshuang said at this moment.
"No!"
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan's resounding voice came from the side.
Lu Yinshuang, having been refused, looked at Cheng Xiaofan with disbelief and asked, "Cheng Xiaofan, what do you mean?"
"Fifteen thousand a month, you can't earn that much in a year of farming!"
"If you think it's too little, we can discuss it further and increase the offer!"
If it weren't for the fact that Cheng Xiaofan's dishes were so incredibly delicious, Lu Yinshuang would never have said such a thing.
In C City, as a prominent real estate developer, who dared to disrespect her when she asked for a favor?
Being outright refused was simply unimaginable.
"I'm sorry, this is not up for negotiation!" Cheng Xiaofan placed the wine and chopsticks on the table, saying with a serious expression.
