Ye Jiu’s cooking was quite laborious, but these dishes weren’t for herself, they were for Yuan Jun Taoist.
In all fairness, during this time, the old Taoist had been quite helpful to her without asking for anything in return, giving her so many fine things, and only asking for some delicious food in exchange, for her to cook a meal for him.
Having taken so much advantage of his kindness, even Ye Jiu herself felt somewhat uneasy.
Yet, not to mention her own situation, even considering the few planes she was now able to connect with, there was probably nothing that could catch his eye.
After all, the world he belonged to was simply too high-end, and in hers, she figured she was at best suited for a role as humble as holding his shoes.
When Ye Jiu first met Yuan Jun Taoist, she hadn’t dismissed the idea of obtaining some cultivation techniques from him.
Unfortunately, the world she lived in lacked spiritual energy, it was sufficient for practicing Inner Strength, but nowhere near enough to support the cultivation of Immortal Law, so Ye Jiu had to abandon the thought of becoming an immortal.
Later on, she pondered that living for such a long time like Yuan Jun Taoist, secluding oneself for hundreds of years, seemed rather meaningless.
It was better to live like she did now, with a brief lifespan but a carefree life, doing as she pleased, which was more than what many could ask for.
One should be content with one’s lot in life, otherwise, it would only lead to unnecessary distress.
Ye Jiu’s cooking was quite complex, involving steaming, frying, boiling, and stewing, all to please the Immortal. She deliberately spent a long time learning from chefs, and combined with the meat imbued with spiritual energy, the taste should be quite good.
By the time everything was finally ready, it was already nearing dawn.
Having given a pot to Ye Bai and Ye Hei, Ye Jiu packed the rest into containers she had prepared earlier and stowed them in the main storage compartment of her space.
The principle behind the construction of the storage compartment was a mystery, but anything placed inside would remain exactly as it was, no matter how much time passed.
Using such an artifact for storage was truly ideal.
This way, she also didn’t have to remake everything whenever she needed it.
Seeing Ye Bai carrying the pot away with Ye Hei, Ye Jiu packed all the food she had prepared for Yuan Jun Taoist into lunch boxes, striving for perfection in both flavor and appearance.
Then, Ye Jiu went home and locked herself in her room.
Fortunately, in the middle of the night, nobody noticed her comings and goings.
After tidying herself up a bit, Ye Jiu lay back on the bed and entered her space.
When she last contacted Yuan Jun Taoist, he was still inside a secret realm and hadn’t come out; she had no idea about his current situation.
The secret realm was fraught with danger, and fearing to disturb him with a direct video call, Ye Jiu first sent a message to explain the situation before sending over the food she had prepared.
When there was no reply after a long wait, Ye Jiu guessed that he might be busy, so she didn’t wait any longer.
Picking up the Jade Pendant next to the Trading Device, Ye Jiu’s lips were filled with a smile, along with a faint sense of longing she herself hadn’t realized.
Sikong Mo’s demeanor was different this time, and although he had already adjusted his expression, Ye Jiu could still sense a heavy air of sternness coming from him.
"What happened? Has there been an incident?" Ye Jiu stepped forward and voiced the first thought that flashed through her mind.
Sikong Mo shook his head, "The frontier border has been engaged in battle. I just came down from the battlefield and haven’t had time to adjust. Did I scare you?"
