Chapter 2085
With a dismissive "never seen the world" look, she slowly added, "No, it was a gift. The three evil fire phoenixes from the Heavenly Realm saw that we were training hard here, tired, exhausted, and hungry, so they took the initiative to give us two eggs to fill our stomachs."
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to argue with you." Xia Jiuyou rolled her eyes at him, her words dismissive, but her hands moved even faster—her jade-like fingers flew, bringing the egg custard, shimmering with iridescent light, into her mouth. The glistening essence slid down her chin, but she didn't bother to wipe it away.
"We must leave this mountain range immediately, or things will change."
"Hey, I told you before, you can't eat this stuff like that, or you'll get so hot at night you won't be able to sleep." Chen Xuan leaned against an old tree next to him, swinging his leg with a half-smile, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
"Hmph, although I am only a Qi Refining cultivator, how could you possibly fathom my foundation? A mere Xuanfeng egg cannot hold me back." Xia Jiuyou straightened her slender waist, her eyebrows and eyes filled with arrogance. She even deliberately accelerated her swallowing speed as she spoke, as if to prove that what she said was true.
"Oh? What if I add a ten-thousand-year-old blood ginseng and a six-thousand-year-old safflower?" As soon as Chen Xuan finished speaking, he flipped his palm and two spiritual herbs appeared out of thin air—the ten-thousand-year-old blood ginseng was completely red, with morning dew still clinging to its roots, and its spiritual energy was almost solidified.
The six-thousand-year-old red flower is as bright as a raging fire, with a faint glow flowing on its petals, and its fragrance alone is enough to invigorate the spirit.
The moment Xia Jiuyou saw the two spiritual herbs, the arrogance on her face froze instantly. Her jade chopsticks clattered onto the snow-white animal hide, her pupils contracted sharply, and her whole body went numb.
"Chen Xuan...you...you! Why didn't you say so sooner?" Xia Jiuyou's voice was trembling with tears as she slapped her thigh in frustration—she had eaten too quickly and most of the steamed egg custard was already gone. If she had been a moment later, she was afraid that the heat of the spiritual energy would have disrupted her meridians.
"I already told you that." Chen Xuan rolled his eyes helplessly, then flipped his palm again, and a jade gourd with a faint icy blue luster flew through the air. "Catch it, drinking some of this will help neutralize it."
Xia Jiuyou hurriedly caught the gourd, and the moment she pulled off the stopper, a refreshing chill mixed with the aroma of immortal spirit wine rushed towards her, instantly soothing her burning throat.
"It's Condensed Dew Brew, with its extremely cold nature, which is just right to suppress this heat." She breathed a sigh of relief, tilted her head back and took a small sip. The cold air slid down her throat, and the burning pain in her dantian was indeed greatly reduced.
By this time, the roasted venison on the campfire was sizzling and dripping oil, its golden skin emitting a charred aroma, and the oil dripping onto the embers with a crackling sound.
Chen Xuan reached out and tore off a thick hind leg, casually tossing it to Xia Jiuyou. He then ripped off a front leg for himself, opened his mouth, and took a bite. The aroma of meat mixed with the smoky fragrance filled the air as he ate with great relish.
Xia Jiuyou frowned as she watched him wolf down his food. She, on the other hand, knelt quietly on the fluffy animal skin, her jade fingers pinching the venison and chewing slowly. Occasionally, she would sip some cold dew wine. Her cool profile was bathed in a soft glow in the firelight.
After a hearty meal, Chen Xuan stretched out his arms and legs, making a cracking sound as he did so.
As soon as he turned around, he caught a glimpse deep in the cave—a colorful animal hide, about ten feet wide, was laid out flat and neat, clearly a carefully prepared temporary bed.
He immediately chuckled, raising an eyebrow as he looked at Xia Jiuyou, who was bending over to warm herself by the fire.
"Always pretending to be high and mighty, but when it comes down to it, your body tells a different story," Chen Xuan muttered under his breath, his voice low but just loud enough for the other person to hear. "What are you standing there for? The bed's all made up. Aren't you going to warm it up and wait for me to serve you?"
As the saying goes, "When you're full and satisfied, you start thinking about sex," and that's certainly true.
Xia Jiuyou's cheeks flushed red instantly. She opened her mouth to say something harsh, but when she thought of Chen Xuan's cruel, bloodthirsty, and ruthless way of eating, and then glanced down at her prominent cleavage, her body trembled inexplicably. The harsh words that were on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back down.
