NOVEL NEXT Chapter 37
“I'm Yi Feng. May I ask for the young ladies' names?” Yi Feng politely asked.
“Bai Piao Piao,” the woman in white replied softly.
“This is my younger sister, Mao Mao.”
“Nice to meet you, Miss Bai, Miss Mao Mao,” Yi Feng greeted with a nod.
“Come, have something to eat.”
Yi Feng nodded again, then wrapped some meat in lotus leaves and tore off two pieces to hand to Bai Piao Piao and Mao Mao.
“Hey, this oily stuff you’re giving looks so dirty, my young miss would never eat it!” Mao Mao frowned and said.
“Mao Mao, don't be rude,” Bai Piao Piao gently admonished, then looked apologetically at Yi Feng, “Since Young Master Yi personally prepared this, Piao Piao will thank you.”
Having said that, her delicate jade-white hand took the chicken meat Yi Feng handed over, but she only tore off a small piece and put it into her cherry-like mouth.
Obviously, she didn't have much interest in Yi Feng's food, and only tore off a piece out of courtesy to Yi Feng.
But when that delicacy entered her mouth, the calm-faced Bai Piao Piao's beautiful eyes slightly frowned.
“Young Master, this food is very delicious,” she couldn't help but exclaim.
With her level of cultivation, she would normally no longer have interest in mortal food. But the crispy and tender chicken meat just now, with its flavor and texture, aroused her appetite and made her tear off another small piece.
“Big sister, is it really that delicious?”
Mao Mao was a little skeptical.
Because no one knew Bai Piao Piao better than her. She was never one to indulge in food, yet she had uttered such praise, which made Mao Mao shocked.
So she also quickly tore off a small piece to try.
"Oh, it really is very delicious!"
Mao Mao was a straightforward girl. The moment the delicacy touched her tongue, her big eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Please excuse me," Yi Feng said flatly with a slight nod.
The two girls' reactions were not beyond his expectations, but rather within his anticipations.
Most people in this world were busy with cultivation and making a living. Apart from simple seasoning, even salt and MSG were absent from their food. Tasting his homeland's delicacies for the first time, their reactions were very normal.
Yi Feng's calmness made Bai Piao Piao look at him with some admiration.
She rarely complimented anyone. In her sect before, countless outstanding disciples would feel elated if she so much as glanced at them.
Yet this ordinary man didn't make anything of it at all.
Was he pretending?
She observed him.
His expression was sincere, eating his own food and drinking his own wine, immersed in his own emotions...
He was not pretending.
Nor was there any pretense in his actions.
Moreover, his gaze was pure, his words not frivolous at all. He didn't even glance extra at her beauty.
This ordinary man was really interesting.
As Bai Piao Piao sized up Yi Feng, her red lips unconsciously curled up. She suddenly asked, "What do you think of me?"
"Gentle and virtuous," Yi Feng smiled.
Bai Piao Piao raised her brows and said, "You know that's not what I'm asking..."
Yi Feng helplessly shook his head and said, "As beautiful as a heavenly fairy, able to captivate a nation."
Bai Piao Piao laughed behind her hand.
"Does that mean you like me?" She asked, her pupils contracting as she observed Yi Feng.
"I do," Yi Feng nodded sincerely.
Yi Feng's frank admission surprised Bai Piao Piao. His lack of concealment was unexpected. It made her ask further, "Why?"
"A graceful lady, a gentleman's delight," Yi Feng drank some wine and stated frankly.
"What an excellent line, 'A graceful lady, a gentleman's delight'," Bai Piao Piao couldn't help but exclaim admiringly. In her heart, she looked at this ordinary man with new eyes.
She asked again, "But there's one thing I still don't understand..."
"What is it?"
"You say you like me, but don't look at me more than necessary?" Bai Piao Piao's mouth curled up. "Could it be you were lying just now?"
Yi Feng shook his head helplessly.
"It's just that I happen to like you. You aren't someone who belongs to me."
"And there's another saying."
"What is it?"
"Don't leer at someone if it's improper."
"Young Master, you really make me look at you with new admiration. Such golden sentences keep coming from you," Bai Piao Piao couldn't help but stand up and bow slightly to Yi Feng. "I must say, I've learned a lot from you today."
