They shivered as they ate the tea eggs. They felt warmth pour into their minds as it cleared their heads.
This feeling was way more intense than when they drank the congee. It was as if someone had sobered them up and they had an awakening.
Gu Ziyao and Gu Ziyu could not believe what they were experiencing. The siblings were perturbed.
The Insights were intense!
It was as intense as an Epiphany.
A single egg heightened their senses. People would think they were maniacs if they told anyone about this.
Incredible, horrifying!
They forced themselves to stay calm. Then, they tried the side dishes. The side dishes, to their surprise, contained Insights, too!
This was not a meal, this was an Insights consumption feast!
Every bite was priceless!
Gu Ziyao had a thumping heartbeat. She knew at that moment that Qin Manyun was not exaggerating. Qin Manyun might have even described it poorly, too!
A bowl of congee, a tea egg, and a few side dishes were enough.
They were very full.
It was not because they were no longer hungry, but because the food contained too many Insights. Their absorption was at their limit.
Otherwise, they would not have wasted even a single grain of rice.
“Full?” Li Nianfan raised an eyebrow. “You guys haven’t even eaten the steamed bread I prepared.”
Qin Manyun smiled. Exasperated, she said, “We’re too full. Thank you for everything, Mr. Li.”
They all looked toward the steamed bread at the center of the table. They felt bad because the steamed bread looked plump and white. It looked like it would taste good and it might have contained Insights, too. If they missed this opportunity, they might never get the chance to eat it again.
It was a shame they had to miss this chance. It was too much, they could not handle it all at once. Their luck should have come in separate waves…
Li Nianfan smiled and asked, “So, how is it? Is it suitable to your tastes?”
“Yeah, tasty, it was super tasty. This is definitely the best meal I’ve ever had,” complimented Gu Ziyu without hesitation as he nodded repeatedly.
This answer was expected by Li Nianfan. He laughed and said, “Good.”
He was troubled by the leftover steamed bread. How could he get rid of the extra steamed bread?
Gu Ziyao noticed it and bit her lip. She asked, “Mr. Li, you’ve prepared this steamed bread for us. Although we can’t eat it now, we shouldn’t waste your efforts. Maybe we can take it back with us?”
“You want these steamed bread?” Li Nianfan was stumped.
Gu Ziyao nodded and sincerely said, “It would be a waste to throw such delicious food away. We don’t want to miss it.”
Of course, Li Nianfan did not think it was precious. But delicious food like this was hard to come by for them.
Li Nianfan nodded and smiled, “I prepared it for you in the first place. Of course, you can have it.”
The siblings and Qin Manyun were overjoyed. They hurriedly took one each and held it in their palms.
The steamed bread fit perfectly in one’s palm. It was plump and easy to grip. It had a bouncy texture, too.
The three of them were bewildered at how the steamed bread felt in their hands. It was strangely bouncy and soft.
Must be good!
It definitely was something good!
Gu Ziyao thanked Li Nianfan, “Mr. Li, thanks for your warm hospitality today. We should take our leave now.”
“Okay, take care.” Li Nianfan nodded.
The siblings walked out of his room. They were exhilarated and anxious at the same time.
It was unreal. They felt like they were dreaming.
They held onto their steamed bread and convinced themselves that this was reality.
Gu Ziyao sighed. “Who knew an expert like him exists in the Immortal Realm. We’re in luck!”
Gu Ziyu was thrilled. He smugly said, “Sis, you should thank me for that. I told you about him. If it wasn’t for me, we wouldn’t have had this opportunity, right?”
Gu Ziyao stroked his hair and smiled. “It was all thanks to you. As the saying goes, after ninety-nine times of bad luck, good luck will strike on the hundredth-time. Sounds about right.”
She looked at Qin Manyun and asked, “Sister Manyun, why do you look unhappy?”
“I think it’s a pity for all those ingredients used,” sighed Qin Manyun. She smiled sadly and explained, “Don’t you know? The boiled water for the tea egg was Spiritual Water. You can make a cup of tea with the tea leaves, too. Each sip you take will be an Epiphany.”
The smiles on their faces suddenly went stiff. They looked at Qin Manyun in disbelief. They were shocked speechless.
Gu Ziyu inhaled sharply. “You’re joking, right?”
“Do I look like I’m joking?” Qin Manyun teared up. “I almost asked the expert for the boiled tea egg water just now.”
Yikes—
The siblings gasped as they felt their skin crawl.
Arrogant, they were too arrogant.
They ate such a luxurious tea egg.
Gu Ziyu turned around and ran.
Gu Ziyao panicked. She was scared that her brother would go ask for that pot of boiled water. “What are you doing? Don’t make crazy decisions!”
Gu Ziyu did not look back as he said excitedly, “Leave me be. The expert will surely pour away the water, so I’m going to the sewers. Maybe I can wait for it…”
…
At the room.
Li Nianfan had his attention on the gift box from Gu Ziyao. He excitedly said, “Daji, come and try out these new clothes. I think it suits you.”
“Okay.”
Daji nodded. She looked surprised and shy. She took a look at Li Nianfan before she grabbed the gift box and headed into another room.
Soon, a commotion was heard coming from that room.
Li Nianfan could imagine what Daji was doing according to the sounds. He could picture it.
He licked his lips and looked toward that room. Then, he hurriedly moved aside.
Li Nianfan was astounded. He felt like someone had taken his breath away.
A Goddess-like beautiful woman walked out of the room. Her beauty made everything else around her blurry.
Li Nianfan tried his best to think of how to describe her beauty. He could only use old poetry to do so.
“Her figure and movement were graceful like a dragon’s. She reminds me of autumn chrysanthemum and pine trees in the spring. She was like the soft clouds, barely covering the shy moon, she was like snow in the wind. From afar, she was the sun, peeking from daybreak. Up close, she was a burning hot flower, creating waves.”
Daji walked over to Li Nianfan while looking at him as she blushed. She gently placed her head on his chest and said quietly, “Mr. Li, am I pretty?”
