Chapter 226 Master Ming’s Golden Immortal Rice?! Taken?!
The Mu Clan settlement.
It was situated just beyond the ranges of the Blue Steam Mountain.
Superior clans within the Dragon Blossom Sect were granted authority to establish settlements, so as to keep them close to the sect.
This arrangement ensured that any disciple aspiring to join the sect would have the opportunity to do so, with their rank sometimes influenced by gender. Other clan settlements, like the Su Clan settlement previously overseen by Su Meirong but now feared for the presence of her nephew, Grandmaster Lin Feng, Chief of the Thunder Cloud Summit, also existed.
Even sects were permitted to have their own settlements, such as the Azure Lotus Sect.
Ultimately, such growth benefitted the matriarchs.
At the heart of the Mu Clan settlement lay the Golden Immortal Rice Fields, a vast expanse of shimmering golden grains swaying gently in the breeze.
The golden immortal rice grown in these fields was originally planted by Mu Zhihao himself. When cultivators consumed it, it boosted their spiritual sensitivity, speeding up their absorption and refinement of spiritual energy. This led to quicker progress in cultivation, sharper mental clarity, and better defense against spiritual attacks.
Plus, it was a real boon for cultivators gearing up to break through to the Core Formation Realm.
These precious fields were tended to by one man, Mu Ming, affectionately known as Master Ming.
Being the wise man that he was, Master Ming believed that the key to happiness was mastering the art of cooking rice.
By now, everyone in the sect were used to his number one mantra.
"He who can cook rice perfectly can conquer the world... or at least conquer hunger!"
Master Ming spent years perfecting his rice-cooking skills, much to the confusion of his fellow clan members who couldn't understand why anyone would spend so much time obsessing over a humble grain. But Master Ming knew better.
He understood that in a land where rice was more precious than gold, the ability to cook it flawlessly was a skill worth its weight in... well, rice.
Possessing a mid-stage Golden Core, he had lived for quite a long time. He had prepared for any and everything... except for Yang Wei.
...
The morning was still fresh.
Mu Lin and Huo Yue sat on cushions around a low table on the veranda of the house, enjoying the fresh breeze from the courtyard as they relaxed with some calming tea.
"I actually thought my aunt would come with you."
Mu Lin picked up her teacup with both hands, closed her eyes, and took a sip of her tea. "Well, after you left yesterday, she said she was returning to Green Sanctuary Peak to stay with Chief Guo and Elder Qian for some time," she said after swallowing.
Huo Yue looked at the tea in her cup, "Oh, that's true. I tend to forget Aunt Zirou trained under Elder Qian."
"Honestly, it's the first time I'm even hearing of Elder Qian. I first saw her during the Heavenly Court situation, and wow, I can't believe I'm saying this, but she's likely the most beautiful woman in the sect if not the entire kingdom."
Huo Yue nodded slowly, "I agree. Normally, I'd have said it was, uh, what's her name, Liu Yan? But Elder Qian looks like royal beauty."
Mu Lin proudly flicked her hair back, "Humph! It's simply because she's a more mature woman. It seems most men tend to look to them for care because they believe they can take care of their problems," she scoffed, "Pathetic."
"There's this woman in the White Serpent Sect called Sun Yurong.." Huo Yue rubbed her chin, as if searching for the right words. "I think she's just as beautiful as Elder Qian."
Mu Lin frowned slightly. "Ah, that woman they call a blood scorpion. I don't really like her much, whenever I look into her eyes, I just feel uncomfortable, like she has some evil intentions."
With a snap of her fingers and a smile on her face, like she'd found some profound answer, Huo Yue replied, "Oh, if Yang Wei were here, he'd call that dangerously sexy!"
"Dangerously sexy?" Mu Lin raised an eyebrow.
Huo Yue picked up her teacup and sipped her tea loudly, mumbling as she sipped, "Well, maybe I didn't get the term right, but you know, the kind of sexy that's just dangerous. Like you know you're getting into trouble by letting yourself get attracted to them."
"Kind of like, Wei?"
Huo Yue giggled a bit, placing a hand over her mouth to stifle her laughter as she held her teacup in the other, "N-no, Wei Shuai's mostly playful."
"Mhm, but he does have his sexy moments."
The two of them then closed their eyes.
Simultaneously, they looked away from each other as their cheeks turned red; the images of them and Yang Wei in bed flashed into their heads.
Before long, Mu Lin snapped out of her blushing and gave Huo Yue a small shrug. "You bad girl, you didn't tell me about what happened last night," she whispered, instinctively lowering her voice so no one else could hear.
Huo Yue shyly tucked her hair behind her ear as her blush intensified. "I-I, uhm, it was fun..."
And a little painful... but the good kind.
Mu Lin gave Huo Yue a teasing side-eye, showing she knew this blue-haired beauty was holding back too much information. She nudged her. "Come on, spill the beans. How did he treat you? Did you guys go all the way? Did you see his dick?
Did you see how big it was?!"
It was as though the more she talked, the dirtier her words became, and Huo Yue felt even more embarrassed, causing her to shift her gaze away.
How can she comfortably say d-di... that word!
Mu Lin leaned closer. "Oh? Now I know why you're not telling me." She wore a calm expression and settled back into a proper lotus position to peacefully indulge her tea.
"Eh?" Huo Yue said, feeling trapped.
Clearly trying to trick Huo Yue into talking, Mu Lin stroked her chin thoughtfully. "I guess you and Wei didn't do anything in the end. Perhaps, *side-eye* he isn't that attracted to you..."
Huo Yue instantly turned as red as a hot chili pepper and blurted out, "He definitely did! W-we did all sorts of naughty things! He touched me so much and was even rough with me in ways that I like! And his DICK it's the biggest and only one I ever want to see... I-I love it!"
Mu Lin's eyes widened, not necessarily because of what Huo Yue said, but rather because Yang Wei and He Dongmei were standing behind her. "What?!" Huo Yue asked, her temper still slightly heated.
"B-behind you," Mu Lin pointed.
Huo Yue looked back, and the moment she saw the two behind her, she squeaked like a rat caught in a trap. "eeeEEEKkk!"
Yang Wei, who just looked at her with the plainest expression on his face, awkwardly commented, "Ooookay."
On the other hand, He Dongmei had the reddest face; after all, she was very inexperienced when it came to matters of the heart, let alone the bed.
Are Senior Brother's women really this perverted?!
Yang Wei, carrying two trays of food, placed them on the table and sat down at the same time. "I can't believe you really cooked," a surprised Mu Lin commented as she looked at the covered bowls of food before them.
Yang Wei chuckled. "I decided to treat my two beautiful women to something special. At least slowly make up for how selfish I'm being by wanting you both."
Mu Lin shrugged. "Eeeehh."
I actually knew this would happen long before now.
Shamefully, Huo Yue adjusted herself to sit properly, still feeling very embarrassed. He Dongmei then began to uncover all the plates and bowls to reveal a variety of food assortments.
But then, Mu Lin noticed something different about the rice. "Hm, wait a minute, this rice porridge..." she paused, leaning in to inspect it properly. Huo Yue was already digging into the rice porridge with a bright smile on her face, obviously enjoying it. "I know, right?! It tastes so good!" she exclaimed to Mu Lin.
Mu Lin observed how the rice glistened like gold and quickly used her chopsticks to take a bite. When she tasted it, she immediately turned to Yang Wei. "This is the Mu Clan's golden immortal rice, isn't it?!"
Yang Wei nodded casually. "Mhm, yeah."
Mu Lin panicked a bit, slamming her hand on the table. "Don't say it so calmly! I know Master Ming would never let anyone touch his precious rice, so you must've stolen it!"
Yang Wei ate some rice porridge and nodded again. "More like I borrowed it without asking."
"That's still stealing!" Mu Lin exclaimed, but then she paused, trying to calm herself. "Well, whatever, it's fine. I don't think he'll complain much if you just took a basket full..."
Yang Wei rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Hmm, I emptied the entire field."
"YOU WHAT?!!"
