Chapter 80 Long time no see
"Okay, let's not talk about this!"
Tang Zhen was a little shy because she couldn't help but reveal her true feelings. She stiffly changed the subject and said, "Um, Ye Qing, are you hungry?"
"Fortunately."
Ye Qing smiled.
People who practice cultivation draw the vital energy of heaven and earth into their bodies and transform it into true energy. True energy, as a special and powerful energy, can be used as nourishment to maintain the body. Therefore, food is no longer the only source of energy for cultivators.
As the level of cultivation improves, the number of times a cultivator needs to eat becomes less and less, and when the level of cultivation reaches above the innate level, he can already practice complete fasting, and can achieve endless life relying solely on his true essence.
Although Ye Qing's realm has fallen to the bottom due to his injury, his foundation is still there, so even if he doesn't eat, it will not have any impact.
At most, the body will consume some true energy to maintain its operation.
But the amount of true energy consumed by the body is just a drizzle.
"I'm hungry."
Tang Zhen obviously didn't hear a satisfactory answer. She wrinkled her nose and pouted her lips slightly.
"So, we're going out to eat?"
Seeing this, Ye Qing said this with a smile on his face.
"How about...we go buy some groceries and cook it ourselves?"
Tang Zhen suggested: "I've been to several nearby hotels and restaurants and eaten there a few times, but none of them suited my taste. I might as well make it myself. It's also healthy!"
Tang Zhen said, looking at Ye Qing expectantly, and finally added: "The dishes I cook are delicious!"
"Can you still cook?"
Ye Qing was a little surprised.
He really didn't expect that Tang Zhen could actually cook, and judging from her appearance, she was full of confidence and obviously had good cooking skills.
But from the outside, you really can't tell that she can cook.
The first impression Tang Zhen gives people is definitely that of a girl who has never had to do housework, a true princess at home, the kind who stays away from the kitchen.
"of course!"
Tang Zhen snorted, expressing her dissatisfaction with Ye Qing's suspicion. She said, "I'm not lying to you. I'm a very good cook. Anyone who has had the honor of eating my cooking always praises it highly. Every time Sister Xiaoyue comes over, she asks me to cook something delicious for her."
"so smart?"
Ye Qing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Then I want to see how good your cooking skills are."
"Then let's go buy some groceries."
Seeing Ye Qing's expression, Tang Zhen stood up immediately with a happy face and said, "Hurry up, let's go buy some food!"
"it is good."
Ye Qing stood up and called Chu Xian to go out together.
"Um, Senior, how about I go back first?"
Wen Tiandao looked embarrassed. He rubbed his hands and said, "I have asked someone to find a place to stay nearby. If you really need me, I can come anytime."
"Why don't you eat first before leaving, Taoist priest?"
Tang Zhen said a little embarrassedly: "I will soon become your disciple, how can I chase you away?"
"This one……"
Wentian Taoist was obviously moved.
Just as Tang Zhen said, the two of them were about to become master and disciple. Now all that was left was a ceremony. As a master, he still wanted to have a good relationship with Tang Zhen.
Especially since Tang Zhen is so talented, he can be said to be the most talented disciple of Tianji Sect in the past few hundred years. He attaches great importance to him and wants to have a good relationship with him.
And eating together is obviously one of the good ways to bring people closer together.
Of course he wanted to stay.
Besides, the food cooked by my future apprentice is always worth eating.
The problem is, Ye Qing!
He had already seen that Ye Qing was the absolute center among the three!
There is no need to talk about Chu Xian. From their address and attitude, it can be seen that the two of them are definitely in a genuine master-servant, superior-subordinate relationship.
The relationship between Tang Zhen and Ye Qing is subtle. They seem to be friends, but they are more than friends. Tang Zhen unconsciously reveals his attachment to Ye Qing everywhere, and even a fool can see it.
Tang Zhen obviously obeyed Ye Qing's words.
Even if it is something like becoming someone's disciple, first of all, Ye Qing's consent must be obtained.
Therefore, Tang Zhen’s words obviously did not count. Only after Ye Qing agreed did the old Taoist dare to stay.
What's more, Ye Qing's strength is there, he dare not easily get into trouble.
God knows how difficult Ye Qing’s life will be if he is unhappy!
Moreover, it will greatly affect his relationship with Tang Zhen.
The old Taoist priest would not be so naive as to think that after becoming Tang Zhen’s disciple, his importance in Tang Zhen’s heart would be comparable to Ye Qing’s.
That is absolutely impossible!
He had no doubt that if Ye Qing was unhappy, Tang Zhen would probably leave the sect immediately!
"Then let's have a meal together. After all, Zhenzhen is going to take you as her master, so you two should get closer and don't become too distant."
Ye Qing had no objection to this.
"Thank you, senior!" Wentian Taoist looked delighted and thanked Ye Qing.
"But I do have a request."
Ye Qing said, "You are too filthy, so quickly find a place to change into clean clothes and wash yourself thoroughly. Don't look like this in the future."
“Although there is no peculiar smell, I have to say, it looks really dirty!”
"I don't want Zhenzhen to call a dirty old man master in the future. Besides, as the leader of Tianji Sect, don't you think this outfit will bring shame to your Tianji Sect?"
The old Taoist's face turned red instantly.
"Um... Senior, I'm not usually like this. I encountered a special situation, so I looked like this."
He said awkwardly: "I'll go change my clothes right away!"
Ye Qing nodded and said nothing more.
The four of them went out together.
Ye Qing, Chu Xian and Tang Zhen went to the nearby vegetable market to buy vegetables, while Wen Tiandao went to his residence to take a shower and change clothes.
The three of them parted downstairs.
"How about we drive there?"
Tang Zhen suggested, "There is a vegetable market not far from the villa complex in the middle of the mountain, near the suburbs. The vegetables there are very fresh. They are all grown by farmers in the suburbs. They are much better than the nearby vegetable markets."
"It's not too far anyway."
Tang Zhen stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Ye Qing with inquiring eyes.
“Is it so troublesome to buy vegetables?”
Ye Qing laughed and shook his head, saying: "Okay, as long as you like it."
"Then let's go there!"
Tang Zhen pulled Ye Qing into the car and said to him, "Let me tell you, the food over there is much better than here, especially fresh and natural!"
"The rich people who live in the villa complex in the middle of the mountain like to go there to buy food. I also like to go there to buy food. Anyway, the food bought there tastes better."
Ye Qing smiled and nodded.
He and Murong Xue had lived in the villa complex halfway up the mountain for two years and knew that vegetable market.
Mother Wang really likes to go there to buy vegetables.
"you live there?"
Ye Qing looked at Tang Zhen and asked.
"Ah."
Tang Zhen said: "My dad bought me a house over there, and I usually live there, but I don't like it there. Living alone in a big house always feels empty, so I often come here to live."
Ye Qing nodded upon hearing this.
He had no intention of finding out about Tang Zhen's family, but judging from her behavior and temperament, she was definitely not a child from an ordinary family.
An average family cannot raise a girl like this.
He just asked and changed the subject. Chu Xian was driving in front, driving towards that direction while chatting.
The grocery shopping process was not very eventful.
Having entered the vegetable market, Tang Zhen took control of all the initiatives and took Chu Xian and Ye Qing to stroll around with great interest.
Chu Xian obviously had never cooked herself and didn't know much about this, but she was very interested, so she kept asking Tang Zhen for advice.
Tang Zhen was also happy to teach her, so the two of them discussed while buying groceries in front, and their relationship quickly became closer.
Ye Qing followed behind him carrying the dishes, like a follower.
If someone in the Central Star Region who was familiar with him saw such a scene, they would probably be frightened to the point of going insane.
The mighty Devouring Dragon Emperor would actually have a day like this!
It's really shocking!
"Xiao...Xiaoqing?"
Ye Qing was walking slowly behind the two women when suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind him.
The voice sounded a little old, belonging to an old woman. When the voice reached his ears, Ye Qing's body stiffened and he stopped.
After a while, he slowly turned around.
A familiar figure appeared before my eyes.
It was a familiar face, slightly older than before, with deeper wrinkles on it.
At this moment, there was an expression of disbelief on her face, as if she couldn't believe what she saw.
Seeing Ye Qing stop and turn around, a look of certainty flashed in her eyes, and then her body began to tremble.
Soon, her eyes turned slightly red and the muscles on her face couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Xiaoqing...is it really you?"
The woman's voice was trembling, and her face was filled with unconcealable excitement.
Ye Qing paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's me."
"Mother Wang, long time no see!"
