Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Cooking Personally!

On the way back, Tan Xiaoyu looked dejected.

Tan Dong, a man of great stature, quickly understood the situation and couldn’t help but sigh, “Xiaoyu, are you convinced now?”

Tan Xiaoyu hung her head in silence, and it took a long time before she said,

“How… how is he so powerful?”

Tan Dong shook his head, gazing out of the car window, and said indifferently, “In this world, geniuses do exist! Xiaoyao in his twenties is already frightening enough, but now I suspect that he might not be just Xiaoyao, but perhaps a…

Heavenly Being! ”

“Heavenly Being…” Tan Xiaoyu murmured to herself.

“Didn’t you say that Heavenly Beings might not even exist?”

Tan Dong let out a wry smile, “I indeed thought that after Xiaoyao there would be no more beyond, but now I realize that realms above Heavenly Beings do exist, and I simply don’t even have the qualification to know about their existence!”

Tan Xiaoyu remained silent.

Tan Dong was right.

To such high-level existences, people like them didn’t even have the qualification to know.

“Dad, this is it for my life, but you are still young. Though you’re a girl, I hope you can go even further!”

“Mhm!” Tan Xiaoyu nodded her head.

“In another month, it will be the once-every-four-years Martial Arts Tournament! I will take you with me to participate, to broaden your horizons and see the heroes of the world!” Tan Dong said.

Xue An didn’t return to the martial arts school but went straight home.

After Qin Yu personally saw him off, she immediately returned to the Qin Family and saw Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan was now energetically dealing with the group’s affairs every day.

However, as soon as his granddaughter returned, he immediately cast aside all the work at hand.

“How did it go?”

Qin Yu took a deep breath, “Mr. Xue won!”

Qin Yuan, as if he had anticipated this, nodded, “How long did the fight last?”

Qin Yu gave a bitter smile, “Defeated the enemy with one punch, killed with one punch!”

Qin Yuan was taken aback, “You mean…”

Qin Yu nodded, “It only took two punches! Yu Qing, who swept through the Beijiang Martial Arts World, was killed!”

Qin Yuan was also shocked; he had predicted that Xue An could win. But he hadn’t expected the win to be so easy!

It seems he still had not estimated Xue An’s strength highly enough!

Qin Yu continued, “I asked Master Tan, and he had only two words to describe

Xue An!”

“Which two words?”

“Heavenly Being!”

Upon hearing this term, Qin Yuan abruptly stood up and paced back and forth in the room. After a long while, he suddenly slammed his hand on the table.

“Yu’er, we must win over Mr. Xue at all costs, and we must be more respectful than before!”

“Yes!”

“I’ve heard that Mr. Xue is still living in a rundown neighborhood. Now that our villas by Yunmeng Lake have been completed, gift him the Number One Tian Villa!”

If anyone else were present, they would be astonished by Qin Yuan’s generosity.

Yunmeng Lake is the most scenic lake in Beijiang, and not too far from the city center, where Longtai Group has developed a housing project touted as the most high-end villa community in all of Beijiang.

The location of the Number One Tian Villa is especially exceptional, and although a businessman once offered a hundred million for it, Qin Yuan didn’t sell.

Now, he was giving it to Xue An as a gift.

Qin Yu also nodded without hesitation, “Yes!”

“Mr. Xue has two daughters, remember to gather plenty of snacks and toys that children like. Make sure to please Mr. Xue!” Qin Yuan added at the end.

Qin Yu took the command and left.

Qin Yuan stood in his office, murmuring to himself.

“Heavenly Being… In this world… are there really Heavenly Beings?”

Today was Tang Xuan’er’s day off, and because she was worried about the two little girls, she quickly bought some groceries and hurried home.

As she opened the door, she found Xue An busy in the kitchen.

Tang Xuan’er paused slightly, and the two little girls swarmed her as soon as they saw her.

If one talked about affection, Xue Xiang and Xue Nian’s feelings toward Tang Xuan’er were the deepest.

“Auntie Xuan’er, do you think our new dresses are pretty?” Xue Xiang asked, showing off.

Tang Xuan’er smiled and ruffled the heads of the two little girls.

“So pretty! You both look just like little fairy princesses!”

“I’m not a little fairy, I’m Nian Nian!” An Yan said, not understanding what a little fairy meant.

Compared to her sister Xue Xiang, who loved beauty, little sister An Yan, besides her love for eating, hadn’t yet developed a concept of beauty and ugliness!

At this moment, Xue An, with an apron tied around him, came out of the kitchen with a smile, “Xuan’Er, I bought some big crabs on my way home today. Try my cooking skills later!”

Tang Xuan’er’s mood brightened, and she couldn’t help but smile, “I remember when we were in school, you said you hated cooking the most!”

Xue An laughed, “That’s because there was no one worth cooking for!”

It was an easy statement to misunderstand, at least it made Tang Xuan’er blush.

But Xue An didn’t notice; he was actually referring to the two little girls.

After three thousand years of cultivation, Xue An had, by chance, met a master who had entered the way through his culinary skills and had learned much about cooking from him.

Now Xue An dared not claim to be a master of culinary ways in the Immortal Realm, but outdoing the mundane was a breeze.

So when the crabs were done and brought to the table, the aroma made Tang Xuan’er’s mouth water uncontrollably.

As for An Yan, she was already drooling at this point.

“Eat! Let’s see how it tastes!”

Tang Xuan’er served the crabs to the two children first, then took a bite herself.

Then she was stunned.

This taste…

It was simply indescribable!

As if countless flavors burst on her taste buds at once, it made Tang Xuan’er feel dizzy in an instant.

Tang Xuan’er had never imagined there could be such soul-stirring food in the world.

“Is it good?” Xue An asked.

Tang Xuan’er nodded, “Actually, if you got nothing better to do, you could make a living as a chef!”

Xue An looked at this girl who had been his classmate since high school and smiled.

He felt endless gratitude toward Tang Xuan’er.

After An Yan was forced to leave Beijiang, the two girls were basically raised by Tang Xuan’er!

Xue An had always kept this kindness in his heart.

This was also why he was willing to cook personally for Tang Xuan’er.

Otherwise…

He remembered that once, a high-ranking Immortal King had gone to great lengths just to have Xue An make a meal for him.

Xue An couldn’t be bothered.

The crabs were quickly finished.

Tang Xuan’er, still longing for more, licked her fingers.

The taste was truly too delicious, so for a moment she forgot a girl’s modesty.

Then Xue An took out an Elixir and handed it to Tang Xuan’er.

“What’s this?” Tang Xuan’er looked puzzled.

“This is made by daddy, and it tastes so yummy! Auntie Xuan’Er, you should try it too!” Xue Xiang said.

Tang Xuan’er took it and, without much thought, she ate it.

Instantly, it was as if she had swallowed a bomb; the Elixir dissolved once inside her and began to purge toxins from her cells.

Tang Xuan’er let out a cry of surprise and rushed into the bathroom.

Xue An smiled slightly.

This Elixir contained the root of the Xuan Yin Lotus, and the root of this rare ingredient was the most potent part.

Ordinary people couldn’t use it, so they instead turned to the gentler Xuan Yin Lotus seeds.

However, Xue An was a master in alchemy, so he easily refined the power of the Xuan Yin Lotus root.

This also made the potency of this Primordial Essence Elixir increase by more than tenfold.

If eaten directly, Tang Xuan’er probably couldn’t handle it.

But the crabs were not ordinary crabs; while cooking them, Xue An had added many refined herbal essences.

A random bite could probably cure all ailments for an ordinary person!

There was no helping it, Xue An’s indulgence in his children had reached the point of sparing no cost or effort.

As long as it made the two little girls happy, he would pluck the moon from the sky for them.

With this foundation in place, Xue An then dared to let Tang Xuan’er consume this advanced version of the Primordial Essence Elixir!
