Chapter 5: Stir-Fried Wild Vegetables With Oil (2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘Since when did the sect master have a wok? Oh, right, she took it out from the cauldron earlier.’

Xiaohu had followed the sect master to the town and had seen the restaurants there. A few years ago, when the sect master still had a little money left, she had taken him there, but it had only been that one time.

However, he still remembered the taste of stir-frying at that time. He even secretly asked the waiter and found out that there was an iron pan that could be used to stir-fry vegetables.

However, this was not the most shocking thing. When Chen Muxue started scooping up the rice, the three children were truly shocked.

“Sect Master, why are we eating white rice today?” As Xiaohu spoke, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Chen Muxue was stunned for a moment. It was only then that she saw the shock and desire in the eyes of the three children.

‘Oh no! I forgot that before Grandpa Yuan was born, rice was very precious. Most people would mix it with other coarse grains or even husks and cook it together. Many people were only willing to cook porridge.’

She was wondering why there was so little rice in the rice jar!

However, Chen Muxue would not show that it was her mistake. She laughed and said, “Let’s eat some good food occasionally.”

It seemed that she not only had to worry about how to cultivate to protect the sect, but also how to make money.

After Chen Muxue moved her chopsticks, the children started to move theirs. However, even if they were to pick up food, they would only pick up wild vegetables. They did not take the initiative to pick up the small amount of oil residue.

Chen Muxue didn’t know that everyone usually ate plain boiled vegetables. She saw that the children’s faces were red from the spiciness and felt a little depressed. She had only cut two small chilies.

She had grown up in the southwest and had been eating spicy food since she was young. She had never considered that children could not eat spicy food.

‘Well, it would be fine after eating a few more times.’

Even though the children were constantly gasping for air due to the spiciness, none of them stopped eating. They all ate in large mouthfuls.

Fragrant, it was too fragrant! They never knew that wild vegetables could taste like this!

Chen Muxue saw that no one was taking any oil residue, so she took two pieces for each of them. Then, she put the extra piece in Xiahua’s bowl.

“The sect master hasn’t eaten any.” Xiaohua didn’t take it.

“It’s fine. You can eat it.” Chen Muxue smiled.

Chen Muxue was full. She put down her bowl and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The children seemed to have felt something as well. They didn’t care about the spiciness anymore and showed puzzled expressions.

Xiaohua was breathing in and recovering. She was about to eat the last piece of oil residue when suddenly, she grunted and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

“Xiaohua?!” Xiaohu was sitting next to Xiaohua. He quickly put down her bowl and patted her back. “What’s wrong? Where does it hurt?”

Xiaohua saw everyone’s concerned eyes and shook her head in confusion.”I’m fine. I’m just a little out of breath.”

A five-year-old child’s ability to express himself was not very clear, but Chen Muxue understood. This was because as a cultivator, she could still sense things.

She clearly felt a very top-grade spirit root the moment Xiaohua vomited blood. It was just a blink of an eye, so fast that she couldn’t see what kind of spirit root it was, but she knew it was on Xiaohua.

‘Was it poison?’ Chen Muxue was about to step forward to check, but the moment she stood up, a wave of spirit Qi spread out from her body.

“Sect Master, you’ve broken through?” Xiaohu looked at Chen Muxue in a daze. Even though he did not have the talent to cultivate, he had been with the sect master for a long time, so he could tell something had happened.

Dagui and Dafu looked at each other. They also felt that something was wrong after the meal, but it was not a bad thing.

Chen Muxue was stunned for a moment. After her brain was spinning at high speed, she looked at the empty plate.

It seemed that she was locked in with the iron wok.
