A man in the Qin Dynasty changed the world by collecting entries.

He went to Ningyan's door and knocked.

"Dinner's ready, come out and eat!"

Squeak!

The door opened, Ningyan gave a light snort, ignored him, and walked directly towards the stone table.

When Ji Mo Huaxue came out, she smiled at Bai Yuan. It's unclear what the two of them talked about in the room.

The two looked at the dishes on the table, which looked and smelled delicious.

The soup, in particular, was steaming with wisps of white vapor, and you could vaguely see some beautiful tofu that looked like white jade, making it look incredibly tempting.

Ningyan knew Bai Yuan's culinary skills and could tell at a glance that this dish was extraordinary, even more special than any dish she had ever seen before, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what made it so special.

This was the first time Ji Mo Hua Xue had tasted food made by Bai Yuan, and just smelling the aroma made her mouth water.

This smell is just too tempting!

Seeing their expressions, Bai Yuan smiled and served each of them a bowl of soup.

"Try it! It'll be a good opportunity to see if my cooking skills have gotten worse lately."

Hearing this, Ningyan rolled her eyes at him. This was the kind of dish someone with declining culinary skills could make.

Chapter 75 An Irresistible Temptation (Please continue reading)

Under Bai Yuan's watchful gaze, Ningyan and Jimo Huaxue picked up spoons and scooped up a small spoonful of soup.

They held the spoon to their lips and blew on it gently before slowly putting it into their mouths.

A delicate, refreshing aroma blossomed in their mouths, not in a sudden, stimulating burst, but rather gradually. The flavor of the soup captivated their taste buds in a very gentle way, silently and imperceptibly.

Like a gentle spring rain, the soup was so soft and silent that by the time the two women realized what it meant, they had already swallowed it.

After taking a sip of soup, neither of them reacted. They then used their spoons to scoop up a small piece of white tofu, gently blew on it, and put it in their mouths.

The refreshing and smooth tofu, soft and delicate, mixed with the fragrant soup, made the two of them close their eyes and chew slowly.

"how is the taste?"

Bai Yuan observed their reactions and felt they were too calm.

As for Ningyan, she had already eaten the food I cooked and was mentally prepared, so it was fine if she acted calmly.

But Ji Mo Huaxue was eating something she had made for the first time, and she didn't show any shock like the others.

This puzzled Bai Yuan.

Upon hearing his question, Ningyan and the other woman snapped out of their reverie. It wasn't that they were unresponsive; rather, the scent had captivated them so much that they hadn't had time to process it before they were completely immersed in it.

Their cheeks flushed slightly, and they nodded.

"good to eat."

"This is the most delicious soup I've ever had!"

Hearing their feedback, Bai Yuan felt that this was more like it!

He then put a few more pieces of fried fish on their plates and specifically told Ningyan to eat more.

Of course, he didn't forget Xue'er, who had been watching them eat with longing eyes, and he also put a small piece on her plate.

The three people and the cat ate in silence, though they ate slowly and deliberately, their eating speed was surprisingly fast.

Before long, the two dishes and soup were completely devoured.

After a delicious meal, Bai Yuan completely won over the two women and the cat. Ning Yan's anger had long since dissipated. She wasn't actually that angry; it was just that Bai Yuan brought up the past, which made her feel a little embarrassed and annoyed.

At this moment, Ji Mo Hua Xue looked at Ning Yan and Bai Yuan and suddenly felt that something was not right.

In her eyes, the two of them seemed to have become even more attractive.

Not only people, but even Xue'er, who was licking her paws on the side, had a unique charm.

Ningyan felt the same way. She looked at Ji Mohua's fair and rosy face, which was so tender that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out with the slightest touch. She looked radiant.

She was already a stunning beauty, but now she was even more breathtakingly beautiful, leaving even the woman herself somewhat stunned.

Ningyan knew that Bai Yuan's dishes sometimes had extraordinary effects, so she immediately concluded that this situation was related to the dishes they had just eaten.

She cast an inquiring glance at Bai Yuan.

"Actually, the soup we just drank has beauty and skin-nourishing effects."

Bai Yuan smiled and explained, his gaze lingering on the two faces for a long time as he freely admired their good looks.

His smile made Ningyan and Jimo Huaxue's hearts pound wildly, as if a lost deer was running around aimlessly.

after all

Baek Yeon's own charm was also amplified.

However, they listened to what Bai Yuan said and immediately grasped the key point.

"This soup can beautify the skin?"

"Yes, long-term consumption can not only beautify the skin and nourish the complexion, but also achieve a certain degree of anti-aging effect and slow down the aging process."

Bai Yuan didn't hide these effects; he knew very well how attractive this thing was to women.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, both women's eyes lit up slightly.

The love of beauty is human nature, and no woman can resist the temptation of eternal youth.

However, Bai Yuan's next words poured cold water on their enthusiasm.

"This soup is quite special, and I can't teach you how to make it. Besides, it takes a lot of time and effort to make, so I'm afraid I won't be able to make it for you often."

Hearing this, the two were somewhat disappointed.

"But depending on my mood, it's fine for me to make soup once in a while."

Bai Yuan smiled and comforted the two of them.

It would be too tiring for him to make this soup every day, but it's okay to make it occasionally.

Hearing this, the two women expressed their satisfaction.

Ji Mo Huaxue even took the initiative to walk behind Bai Yuan and massage his shoulders as a reward for the meal he had cooked for them that night.

Of course, it's also so that I can enjoy this beauty-enhancing white jade soup more often in the future.

They had just finished eating when Xun Kuang came looking for them.

Seeing the three of them looking radiant, Xun Kuang was only slightly surprised and didn't pay much attention.

"Oh dear, it seems we're too late!"

He looked at the bowls and chopsticks on the stone table that hadn't been cleared away yet, and showed a regretful expression.

If I had known he would come earlier, I might have been able to get a free meal.

Bai Yuan smiled, then asked Ningyan to tidy up the table outside, while he brought Xun Kuang into the room and served him tea.

After sitting down and taking a sip of tea, Xun Kuang glanced at Ji Mo Huaxue, who was holding Xue'er beside Bai Yuan, and then gave Bai Yuan a strange smile.

Bai Yuan could also read what he wanted to say from his eyes.

Didn't you say it was just a misunderstanding? That you had no feelings for him? That you didn't need his help to make the connection?

Cough cough, it seems the third point is no longer needed.

Feeling a little embarrassed by his gaze, Bai Yuan felt awkward.

"Senior Brother Xun, I plan to move out of Xiaoshengxianzhuang in a few days, which will make things more convenient."

As he spoke, he glanced at the beautiful woman beside him.

Xun Kuang wasn't too surprised to hear this; it would indeed be inconvenient for Ji Mo Hua Xue to live in Xiao Sheng Xian Zhuang for an extended period.

Moreover, he knew that the Heavenly Sect seemed to be making some moves, and Bai Yuan's decision to move out of the Little Sage Manor was within his expectations.

So he simply nodded slightly.

"Since you've made up your mind, I'll talk to the sect leader later. During your time in Sanghai, you can come to the Little Sage Manor's library to read books anytime."

"Then thank you very much, senior brother! There are so many books in the library, I really can't finish reading them all in a short time."

Bai Yuan quickly expressed his gratitude, as he had not yet completed the task assigned to him by Chi Songzi!

The Confucian library contained a vast collection of books, and he had only read about a third of them in recent days, leaving him feeling dizzy and overwhelmed every day.

Xun Kuang smiled and nodded, then got up to take his leave.

He was originally there on behalf of Lu Zhonglian to discuss the Ji Mo Hua Xue matter with Bai Yuan. Now that Bai Yuan has said he wants to move out, there's nothing else to discuss.

"It's getting late, so I won't disturb your rest any longer."

"Take care, senior brother!"

After seeing Xun Kuang off, Ningyan washed the dishes and went inside.

The group sat and rested for a while, enjoying a rare moment of peace and quiet.

At this moment, Ningyan suddenly asked Bai Yuan, "Do you still have any Qi-Nourishing Pills?"

Bai Yuan nodded.

"Of course there are more, want to try some?"

"Ah."

Bai Yuan got up and went back to his room. Not long after, he came out with a small jade bottle.

"Here, this is it."

He placed the small jade bottle on the table and pushed it in front of Ningyan.

"Take this bottle of pills and use it. There are only five pills in it, which should last for about two or three days."

Bai Yuan had previously refined a lot of pills in Daliang. At his rate of consumption, he still had about one-third of the pills left, which would last him for a while.

Even after he moves out, he can continue refining, so he won't have to worry about not having any to use.

Ningyan didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the pills directly.
