Ch53 - Difficult Heroine

Soon enough, the two-person grilling fish became four-person grilling meat.

Liu Mufeng took out the marinated demon beast meat from his storage ring, put it on the brazing iron, and placed it on top of the fire. Liu Mufeng was responsible for grilling together with the hero. Jiang Xu and the heroine were responsible for eating the meat.

“Fellow Daoist Liu, your cooking skill is excellent. Your marinated demon beast meat is so delicious!” After eating the meat that Liu Mufeng prepared, the heroine was full of praise.

“Fellow Daoist Meng is overpraising me. I just made it casually.”‘This young miss could really eat. He had marinated this rabbit meat and planned to grill it tomorrow for him and Xiao Xu to eat. Unexpectedly, the heroine ate half of it in less than half an hour. What a pig! Fortunately, it was only a demon beast in the Spiritual Realm. If the demon beast meat in the Spiritual Mortal Realm was eaten by others, Xiao Xu would definitely feel distressed.’

“Yeah, I also smelled that the marinated meat was fragrant!” After speaking, the hero also started eating.

“Mufeng’s cooking skills are really great. The food he cooks is especially delicious.” Jiang Xu smiled when he said this. There was a sense of pride in his voice.

“Would you like a drink?” Taking out the water bag, Liu Mufeng handed it to Jiang Xu.

“En!” Reaching out to take the water bag, Jiang Xu took a sip of the diluted spiritual water. As they have been throwing spiritual stones into the lake for the past few years, the spiritual energy of the water was relatively strong. It was getting difficult to absorb if they drank it directly. So, consequently, they were drinking diluted spiritual water. The same goes for Xiaoyuan and the others.

“Wipe your mouth.” Seeing Jiang Xu’s mouth had a lot of oil stains from eating the meat, Liu Mufeng took out a handkerchief and wiped the corner of Jiang Xu’s mouth himself.

“Thank you.” He glanced at Liu Mufeng with a smile, and Jiang Xu continued to eat. He urged in his heart, ‘Eat faster, or else Meng Shishi and Zhantian will eat all up.’

Looking at the intimate behavior of the two, the hero could not help frowning and thought to himself, ‘Isn’t the person Jiang Xu liked is Xu Qianshan? Why is he flirting with another man now?’

Seeing that Jiang Xu and Liu Mufeng were so close, the heroine’s eyes flashed with contempt. She thought to herself, ‘Jiang Xu is really disrespectful. When he was in Jialan City, he seduced his cousin’s fiance. After leaving Jialan City, he actually hooked up with a wild man.’

After she was full, the heroine began to help to grill the meat and let the hero eat. Jiang Xu also began to help Liu Mufeng to roast the meat and let Liu Mufeng eat.

“Fellow Daoist Liu, what kind of spiritual root are you?” The heroine asked with a smile while thinking, ‘I don’t know what kind of aptitude and strength this man has to actually catch Jiang Xu’s eyes.’

“Oh, I’m a fire and wood double spiritual root.” Liu Mufeng lowered his head and ate a piece of roast meat, and said in his heart,‘This heroine seems to be paying a lot of attention to me. This is not a good thing.’

“Oh, fire and wood double spiritual root. No wonder I always feel that the flame aura on Daoist Liu is so strong. AndXiaoXu,XiaoXu also seemed to have a flame aura as well.” Said the heroine whilst looking at Jiang Xu suspiciously. ‘Strange, Jiang Xu has a golden single spiritual root. Why do I feel that the other party has the aura of fire? Is it my own delusion?’

Hearing this, Jiang Xu’s hand holding the iron drill stiffened. ‘Did Meng Shishi see that he had refined the Beast Fire?’

Hearing this, the heroine smiled. There was a little more pride in the smile. “Fellow Daoist Liu is overpraising me. In fact, I am still having difficulty refining a third-level medicinal pills, and the second-level medicinal pills are just okay.”

“That’s already amazing. You are too modest, Fellow Daoist Meng.” ‘Are you stumbling when refining third-level medicinal pills? Seriously?According to the original book, when the heroine entered the secret realm at nineteen, she was an all-powerful third-level alchemist. Now there was only one year left before the opening of the secret realm.’

Was it because the heroine didn’t get the bracelet dimension and the inheritance of the third-level alchemist? Hence, her Alchemy technique was not as excellent as described in the original book? Sure enough, the so-called genius was destined for failures depending on the opportunities. There was no dimension and ten times the flow of time as she refined pills to cultivate and no dimension for planting spiritual plants to practice her skills. So no matter how talented she was, it was all in vain.

“My Alchemy skills are far worse than my grandfather’s.” The heroine’s biggest wish was to become a great fourth-level alchemist like her grandfather.

“Lord Meng Cheng is the most honorable fourth-level alchemist in Lingwu Continent. His Alchemy skills are naturally brilliant. However, it is rare for Fellow Daoist Meng to have such a sky-defying alchemy qualification at such a young age.”

“Oh, Fellow Daoist Liu, don’t praise her too much. If you praise her again, she will be embarrassed.” The hero said with a smile.

“Yeah, Fellow Daoist Liu is too rewarding. I smelled a faint scent of herbs on Fellow Daoist Liu. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Liu is also an Alchemist? A cultivator with dual roots of fire and wood is the most suitable to be an alchemist.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, the heroine asked innocently.

Hearing this, the hero was stunned. He looked at Liu Mufeng in astonishment. “Fellow Daoist Liu is an alchemist?”

“No, how could it be? Mufeng doesn’t know how to make pills.” Shaking his head, Jiang Xu hurriedly denied it. He complained silently in his heart, ‘Damn Meng Shishi. Is she a dog? Her nose is so sharp.’

Looking at her obviously nervous sweetheart, Liu Mufeng smiled softly. “Fellow Daoist Meng, you are really joking. My Liu family has been Master Spiritual Planters for generations. How could it be possible for me to become an alchemist?”

“Ah? Master Spiritual Planter? Fellow Daoist Liu is a Spiritual Planter?” Blinking, the heroine asked uncertainty.

“Of course, my family has been a Master Spiritual Planter for generations. My grandfather is a third-level spiritual planter, and my father is a second-level spiritual planter. I am also a second-level spiritual planter.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng answered calmly.

“No wonder I smell the medicinal fragrance on Fellow Daoist Liu. It turns out that Fellow Daoist Liu is a spiritual planter. I’m sorry, but I made a mistake.” ‘Was he actually a spiritual planter, not an alchemist?’

“It doesn’t matter. Both Master Spiritual Planters and Alchemists have the scent of spiritual plants on their bodies. It is normal to admit mistakes.” Laughing, Liu Mufeng said disapprovingly and expressed in his heart, ‘This heroine has a good nose.’

“Fellow Daoist Liu, you said that your family has been a spiritual planters for generations. Come on, Fellow Daoist Liu is also from a big family, right?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, the hero asked with a smile.

‘Want to check my details? It seems that the male protagonist is also suspicious!’“To be honest with Fellow Daoist Xiao, my family is just a small family head in a small town. It is incomparable to a big family like the Xiao family in Jialan City.”

“Fellow Daoist Liu, you are too modest. The family in the town is also a family.” With a smile, the hero said disapprovingly.

“Oh? Which family is it? If Fellow Daoist Liu’s family are spiritual planters, they can cooperate with our Meng family.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, the heroine asked the bottom line.

“Oh, it’s the Liu family in Shuangyang Town. Our family makes a living by cultivating and selling spiritual plants. I hope Fellow Daoist Meng will take care of my family’s business.” Smiling warmly, Liu Mufeng didn’t hide it. Anyway, the Liu family were really a family of Spiritual Planters, and he should not hide it.

“Liu Family, I know. Senior Brother Liu Muyan was born in the Liu Family in Shuangyang Town. He is a third-level spiritual planter in the Sect. I often buy spiritual plants from him.” Speaking of the Liu Family in Shuangyang Town, the heroine was shocked, and her eyes widened.

“Liu Muyan is my second cousin. He is my uncle’s son. My father is the fifth oldest. I am the ninth oldest in the family.” With a smile, Liu Mufeng told the truth.

“Oh, so you are Senior Brother Liu’s cousin. No wonder you have such a strong scent of spiritual plants.” Hearing Liu Mufeng talking about his family, the heroine somewhat believed in him as a spiritual planter. Because Shuangyang Town does have such a family of Master Spiritual Planters. Moreover, Liu Muyan was a person she knew in the Sect.

“I didn’t expect Fellow Daoist Liu’s family to have a great spiritual planter like Senior Brother Liu. It’s really amazing.” Smiling, the hero didn’t expect the other party to be cousins with Liu Muyan. He thought he had already found that mysterious alchemist, but he turned out to be a spiritual planter, what a disappointment.

“It turns out that both Fellow Daoist friends know my second cousin. We can get together and have a few drinks if we meet another day.” Liu Mufeng smiled while thinking, ‘Since they know that Liu Muyan is a spiritual planter, and they know the Liu family in Shuangyang Town. They should not doubt his identity as a spiritual planter.’

“Okay, then, let’s have a good drink together if we have a chance to see each other again.” Nodding, the hero readily agreed and thought to himself, ‘Seeing Liu Mufeng like this, he wouldn’t lie. He should really be a spiritual planter.’

“Fellow Daoist Liu, your bracelet is so special. It looks stunning.” Inadvertently seeing the bracelet on Liu Mufeng’s wrist, the heroine couldn’t help but widen her eyes. Inexplicably, she had an urge to get that bracelet very much.

Hearing this, the hero also looked over. “Fellow Daoist Liu, your bracelet has a lot of pretty patterns, and it doesn’t look like a man’s ornament. Otherwise, I’ll give you 500 spiritual stones, and you can sell it to Shishi. I think it’s more suitable for women to wear it.”

Hearing the hero, the heroine laughed. “Yeah, I like it a lot too. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Liu can give up his treasure?”

“No, no!” Shaking his head, Jiang Xu hurriedly refused. ‘What are they doing? They actually want Mufeng’s bracelet. That’s their baby! How could it be sold at a low price of five hundred spirit stones? A treasure like the bracelet, not to mention five hundred spirit stones, even five million, five hundred million, and five hundred billion spirit stones are not worth the bracelet’s value.’

Seeing that this time she was not a white lotus, but a forthright heroine, Liu Mufeng frowned in embarrassment. “Fellow Daoist Xiao is right. This bracelet is indeed a woman’s accessory. This is the only thing my mother left me. It is also the only heirloom my parents left me. I don’t know how many spirit stones it is worth if I sell it, but no matter the situation is, I won’t sell this bracelet.” Having said that, Liu Mufeng sighed sadly, his expression was so dejected as if he was missing his deceased parents.
