Chapter 1106: Chapter 1103: Mysterious Woman
Mu Chuan was chatting with Yun Zhan, and when they saw Xu Wendong approaching with grilled meat, both of them showed a smile filled with intrigue.
It was clear they didn’t expect this originally proud fellow to behave so humbly.
"Chen, what brings you here?" Yun Zhan asked with a half-smile.
Xu Wendong replied nervously, "I can’t get used to the food of the Dragon Clan, so I grilled some meat and specially brought it here for you two elders to taste."
With a wave of his hand, Yun Zhan made the skewers Xu Wendong was holding fly out of his grasp.
"Not bad!" Yun Zhan sniffed the aroma of the grilled meat in his hand and then gave Mu Chuan some.
To be honest, Xu Wendong’s grilled meat did indeed have a richer flavor than the ones provided by the Dragon Clan.
Especially that spicy taste, which left both of them wanting more.
"Were you a cook before?" Mu Chuan asked while eating.
Xu Wendong promptly replied, "I have learned some cooking skills."
Mu Chuan nodded slightly, then said, "Not bad craftsmanship. From now on, deliver some grilled meat to us daily."
Yun Zhan also said, "Not bad. If you serve big brother Mu Chuan well, he will surely keep you from being bullied."
Xu Wendong was moved to tears, "Thank you, brothers."
"Alright, get lost!" Mu Chuan said impatiently, not wanting to see Xu Wendong.
Xu Wendong immediately bowed and exited Mu Chuan’s cave. When he returned to his own cave, he unexpectedly found a young woman secretly eating his grilled meat.
She looked about eighteen or nineteen, wearing a sky-blue long dress with intricate embroidery of various exotic flowers and flying butterflies, adding vitality and life to the entire dress.
The girl’s skin was as white as snow, and her collagen-rich face glowed with youthful radiance.
A pair of bright eyes were like the moon in a lake, crystal clear and filled with Spiritual Energy.
Her long eyelashes gently trembled like butterfly wings, enchanting anyone who saw them.
Her dark hair cascaded down to her waist, subtly curling in waves, adding a touch of alluring charm.
Her lips curved into a charming smile.
The smile was like the sunshine of spring, warming the heart, as if it could dispel all darkness.
Upon seeing Xu Wendong appear, the woman’s pupils suddenly revealed a look of tension and anxiety, and she instinctively hid the skewers behind her back.
"Well...I...I wasn’t stealing your grilled meat!"
The woman nervously stretched out her left hand to wipe away the childish sauce at the corner of her mouth, but the chili on the grilled meat made her lips slightly red, looking temptingly succulent.
Moreover, she was making quirky "haha" sounds.
Xu Wendong was amused and said, "Even if you eat some, it’s not a big deal. Can’t you handle spicy food? If you can’t, I can make it without chili."
He couldn’t discern the cultivation level of the woman before him, nor could he tell if she was human or demon.
But that wasn’t important.
Since he wasn’t a bad person by nature.
The woman revealed a shy smile, "If you could use just a tiny bit less chili, that would be great."
Xu Wendong responded with a nod and then brought out some uncooked meat, placing it over the fire to slowly roast.
In no time, the skewers sizzled, releasing a faint aroma of meat.
Especially when Xu Wendong sprinkled the barbecue seasoning he brought from Earth, the aroma of the grilled meat intensified.
This made the young woman swallow involuntarily, her eyes revealing a passionate glow.
"Here you go!" Xu Wendong divided the grilled meat into two portions, one with chili, the other just with some seasoning.
"Thank you!" The woman eagerly took the grilled meat Xu Wendong handed over and devoured it.
Although she had already sneaked some of Xu Wendong’s grilled meat earlier, what she ate before was almost dried out and had chili, which only tasted a little good to her.
But now, tasting freshly prepared grilled meat, she almost swallowed her tongue.
"It’s only polite to reciprocate. You invited me to eat, so let me offer you some wine!"
The woman produced a Jade Gourd, uncorked it, and offered it generously to Xu Wendong.
Xu Wendong took the Jade Gourd, and as soon as he sniffed it, he caught an intoxicating aroma.
Without any hesitation, he tilted his neck back and took two sips.
Instantly.
An inscrutable aura spread through his Dantian, providing immense satisfaction to his body and mind.
Moreover, he even felt slightly tipsy.
Just a couple of sips and he felt slightly drunk; it was clear this was no ordinary wine.
Moments later, the woman finished eating her meat, let out a contented burp, and said, "I’ve eaten my fill, thank you for your hospitality. Let’s meet again sometime!"
Xu Wendong laughed and said, "If you want to eat meat, feel free to come by anytime. You’ll be well-fed!"
The woman agreed, rose to her feet, and walked towards the exit.
As she reached the entrance of the cave, she turned back to look at Xu Wendong, her exquisite face showing a charming smile, "My name is Qingxuan. If anyone bullies you, you can use my name." With that, she turned and gradually disappeared from Xu Wendong’s sight.
"This woman probably has quite a background!" Xu Wendong thought to himself, but didn’t dwell on it.
What he urgently needed to do was learn the Nine Dragons Refinement Technique first; only then could he establish himself within the Dragon Clan.
Secondly, he needed to find a way to obtain the Dragon Blood Resurrection Grass.
Without the Dragon Blood Resurrection Grass, having countless women around him wouldn’t be of any use.
Because humans lived in relatively centralized areas within the Dragon Clan, when Xu Wendong grilled meat, the aroma spread around the nearby areas, and many humans caught the enticing scent.
Suddenly, many people began paying attention to Xu Wendong, and some even came over in the evening to chat and snag some meat.
After all, the food provided by the Dragon Clan wasn’t very good.
Xu Wendong warmly welcomed them.
However, most were elders, not young people.
Clearly.
The young ones were busy preparing for tomorrow’s examination, all wanting to learn the Dragon Clan’s Nine Dragons Refinement Technique.
Actually, everyone knew that once they entered the Demon Realm, leaving would be difficult, but they still held onto a shred of hope.
That’s why they wanted to learn the Dragon Clan’s cultivation techniques.
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
That afternoon.
Xu Wendong intentionally grilled more skewers and then visited the ten Human Race strongmen who would be participating in the examination.
The ten Human Race strongmen expressed surprise at Xu Wendong’s arrival, seemingly not expecting him to be so socially adept.
But they didn’t overthink and began tasting the skewers Xu Wendong brought.
As they ate, they exclaimed in delight, for they had lived so long with the Dragon Clan that they had grown tired of the Dragon Clan’s food.
Little did they know, Xu Wendong had already poisoned their grilled meat...
