92. Stinky tofu is really delicious

By the time I finished telling the story, it was almost noon.

With a dry mouth, Chen Yin finally persuaded the little foxes to go eat. He was finally able to walk out of the room with a sore back.

As soon as I went out, I heard a cold voice behind the door:

"Are you happy being surrounded by a bunch of little girls?"

"That's really fun." Chen Yin said with a smile, "Who doesn't like to be surrounded by a group of cute little foxes?"

Qingying sneered: "Then do you know that during the time you were obsessed with fox sex, you have been targeted by someone?"

"I know."

Chen Yin answered very straightforwardly, which made Qingying stunned for a moment.

"I even know which family that guy is from." Chen Yin glanced unconsciously into the distance.

...Ju Shaohe is indeed not that magnanimous.

As early as when Chen Yin entered the room, he was aware of the monk who had followed him.

It goes without saying that this person must be Ju Shaohe's subordinate, who came to find out about his background.

But Chen Yin didn't care. That group of people could not pose a threat to Chen Yin.

"Young master, if you don't get angry even when I get angry with you, you're too easy to bully."

Chen Yin shrugged: "Anyway, I'm bored waiting these two days, so I'll see if there's anything fun to do."

"Are you sure you don't want to show off in front of that beautiful South American girl?" Qingying narrowed her eyes playfully.

"...You really misunderstood me. I'm not that boring."

He smiled and said, "I have a beautiful woman like you by my side who can be used to feast my eyes. Why should I pursue a mortal beauty who doesn't like monks?"

Qingying raised her eyelids and pretended not to hear Chen Yin's teasing.

"It's up to you."

She continued in a gentle voice: "However, I was careful and left a mark on that person."

"Unexpectedly, this mark just happened to hear something interesting. I thought you might be interested."

As Qingying slowly began to tell the story, Chen Yin's expression gradually changed from being nonchalant at the beginning to becoming somewhat serious and silent.

Only after Qingying finished speaking did Chen Yin slowly close his eyes and said calmly:

"...According to what you said, I actually hit the jackpot?"

"I can't guarantee its authenticity." Qingying crossed her arms and turned sideways with a cool and tall figure. "I'm just giving you this information as a gift of friendship."

"It's up to you to decide how to do it."

Chen Yin hesitated for a moment, then turned around and asked, "How much do you know about the Canghe Sword Sect?"

"I know what to ask."

Qingying glanced at him with her beautiful eyes, then turned around and said:

"The leader of the Canghe Sword Sect, Ju Canghai, had a son when he was old. He only has Ju Shaohe, and he treats him like a treasure and his lifeblood. This is known to everyone in the world of immortal cultivation."

"The rest, figure it out yourself."

Chen Yin's eyes flashed, and after a moment he slowly nodded.

"……Thanks."

-

At noon, Nan Xiaoxiang, who was wearing a plain white dress, had just finished decocting the medicine. When she was about to push the door open to go out to eat something, she saw a man standing at the door, looking at her with a smile.

"Mr. Chen? What's the matter?"

"Miss Nan, you really love to joke. Didn't you invite me to have lunch with you?" Chen Yin asked back with a surprised look on his face.

Nan Xiaoxiang was stunned for a moment, and her tone was a little flustered:

"I, that was just a polite way of speaking—"

"Since you're going to do a play, why not do the whole thing? There's no point in doing half of it and then giving up."

"Besides," Chen Yin spread his hands innocently, "I've spent all my money on the road these past two days, and I can't afford to eat. I'm sure Miss Nan won't mind if I ask her to share a meal with me, right?"

Nan Xiaoxiang looked at the man in front of her with a smug smile on his face and sighed helplessly.

...But in comparison, Nan Xiaoxiang would rather have lunch with this annoying man. Compared with Ju Shaohe, at least this man is sincere and not hypocritical. It's not that tiring to get along with him.

Besides, she was using him as a shield after all, so Nan Xiaoxiang did not refuse too much:

"Okay... Then I'll ask the kitchen to prepare more food--"

"Hey, it's a rare occasion for us to have dinner together. What's the point of eating at home?"

Chen Yin started to act like a rogue again: "Didn't Young Master Ju say that there is a restaurant in the east end of the city that serves delicious food? Why don't we go and try it?"

Seeing that this man was still trying to get ahead of himself, Nan Xiaoxiang's tone became a little stiff:

"Mr. Chen, we at Xiaoxiang Clinic have always been kind and generous. We don't have much extra money, so we can't just go to the East City Restaurant and eat and drink as much as we want."

"Besides, Master Chen is a cultivator after all. If he really wants money, it's easy. Why bother a mortal woman like me?"

Chen Yin nodded in sudden realization: "Oh, so you are just like me, a pauper."

Nan Xiaoxiang: “…”

...Just bear with it. If you argue with him, you will lose.

"In that case," Chen Yin said briskly, as if he didn't notice the anger on Nan Xiaoxiang's face.

"I know what to eat. Follow me!"

After saying that, he grabbed Nan Xiaoxiang's hand and pulled her out of the clinic without further ado.

"you!"

Nan Xiaoxiang was both ashamed and angry, but her frail body made it impossible for her to break free from Chen Yin's hand. Before she could react, she was dragged onto the street by Chen Yin.

When walking out of the clinic, Chen Yin glanced at the corner of the clinic inconspicuously.

After the two people walked out of the clinic, a figure followed them silently.

Only then did Chen Yin withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and continued walking forward as if he hadn't seen anything.

-

Nan Xiaoxiang's physical strength was indeed worse than Chen Yin had imagined. However, after walking a few steps, her face was already flushed, she was sweating profusely, and she was gasping for breath.

She adjusted her breathing for a long time before trying her best to maintain her reserved image and asked indignantly:

"I have no grudge against you, why do you have to be so disrespectful to me in public and destroy my reputation?"

"It's just holding hands. You won't get pregnant. How can it ruin your reputation?"

Chen Yin said carelessly: "You are always so reserved like a lady from a wealthy family. You have been procrastinating for so long that I can't wait any longer."

Nan Xiaoxiang bit her teeth lightly, a few strands of hair stuck to her forehead and temples by her sweat, and her rosy face after the intense exercise looked particularly pitiful.

She was really angry and had no idea what to do.

"Mr. Chen is obviously not someone who doesn't know etiquette, so why does he keep making things difficult for me?"

She tried her best to calm her voice: "If it is still because of me using you as a shield, I can apologize to you."

"Oh, you're being polite to me."

Chen Yin grinned and patted Nan Xiaoxiang's shoulder heavily: "I've already told you, treat me to a meal and we'll put this matter behind us."

Nan Xiaoxiang clenched her fists tightly.

...hardened. The fist hardened.

"You brought me here, what do you want to eat--"

Before he could finish his words, Nan Xiaoxiang suddenly realized that he had arrived at the western commercial street.

This is where ordinary people buy their daily necessities. Occasionally there will be gatherings, with vendors coming from all over the country selling small items, and some merchants setting up stalls to sell food.

At this time, Chen Yin was standing in front of a roadside stall, smiling and saying to the owner: "Two bowls of stinky tofu, spicy and with cilantro."

Nan Xiaoxiang couldn't believe her eyes.

"You... came all the way here just to take me to eat stinky tofu?"

"What else?" Chen Yin turned his head in surprise. "You don't want to take me to a big restaurant, so you can't even bear to eat at a street stall?"

"This is not..."

Nan Xiaoxiang blinked her long eyelashes and said, "It's just that almost all the monks I've met can't stand the taste of stinky tofu. No one is willing to eat it."

"Mr. Chen, don't you mind the smell of stinky tofu?"

"Why would you mind? You're just being fussy."

As he was talking, two bowls of stinky tofu were served. Chen Yin stuffed his mouth with them and said vaguely, "It's delicious, so what's the big deal?"

"It's those people's loss that they didn't get to taste the most delicious food on earth, stinky tofu."

After saying that, he started swallowing in big gulps.

Nan Xiaoxiang was slightly distracted. This was the first time she had seen a cultivator who didn't care about his image so much and even ate stinky tofu like delicacies from land and sea.

She suddenly felt that the man in front of her was not as annoying as she had imagined.

Seeing that she didn't move her chopsticks, Chen Yin puffed his cheeks and asked, "What's wrong? Miss Nan can't stand the smell of stinky tofu?"

"Do not."

Nan Xiaoxiang looked at the bowl of stinky tofu with rich soup and said softly, "Just the opposite."

"...I really like eating stinky tofu." The corners of her mouth seemed to curl up unconsciously.

She picked up a piece, slightly opened her cherry lips, and put it into her mouth.

The fresh and rich soup tastes delicious between your lips and teeth, and the fragrance overflows.

The familiar scent instantly brightened her mood.

“I’ve loved eating stinky tofu since I was a kid.”

Nan Xiaoxiang suddenly started talking to herself: "When I was a kid, I followed my grandfather to learn medicine. If there was a prescription I couldn't memorize or a medicine name I couldn't remember, I would get upset and not want to memorize it."

"At this time, grandpa would reward me with stinky tofu. If I could memorize it, he would take me to eat it."

"That was my favorite food when I was a kid. The stinky tofu from Guyu Town is also unique in Yanxia Prefecture. After eating it, I will definitely not—"

She suddenly covered her mouth.

Why should I tell him these things?

Chen Yin still had his mouth full of tofu, and he had already ordered his third bowl, which was almost empty.

"Huh? Why did you stop talking halfway?"

"Nothing, nothing." Nan Xiaoxiang looked at him eating with a satisfied look on his face and couldn't help but lower her head slightly.

At the same time, I said to myself silently in my heart:

...He is a monk after all. What's the point of talking to him about mundane life?

While eating, Chen Yin glanced behind him inadvertently out of the corner of his eye.

In a very hidden corner of the house, a dark shadow flashed by.

Chen Yin pretended not to notice and continued to eat his stinky tofu. When he finished the bowl, he grinned with his mouth full of oil:

"Boss! Another bowl please!"
