Chapter 650 - Fateful encounter, atop and under the tree
The cook closed his eyes and took a deep breath, inhaling the soup aroma in the air. He had an intoxicated look on his face.
When Feng Jiu heard that, her lips curved and she quickly put the lid on the goblet. She took a lot of things. It was estimated that every teacher was getting the same things. Only a few items had only one thing. For those, she could not take all of them, but only half a portion.
Finally, after scooping a full ladle of spirit rice, she slipped away from the back.
“Mm? How come there’s only one marinated trotter remained for the deputy headmaster?”
“How come the headmaster’s spirit meat sauteed with matsutake mushroom is less than half? I remember there was a platter full of the dish.”
The other cook laughed when he heard him. “Have you become forgetful? Nobody dares to enter here randomly. With both of us here, it’s even more impossible to steal things in the kitchen.”
The two of them were cooks, but they were also cultivators at the foundation building stage. Who dared to steal things in the kitchen under their eyes?
“Mm, that’s so. Maybe I’m mistaken.” The cook smiled. He shook his head and went to look at the big goblet of soup. When he opened the lid, he saw that the vapours had not risen. With some surprise, he looked down at the fire with a strange expression on his face.
He remembered that the soup had been ready a moment ago. However, after it had been continuously warmed up, why did it not even have a little steam now?
Feng Jiu left the kitchen and headed for the direction of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range. She drew her breath and swept past at a very fast speed. In a flash, she disappeared in the mountain forest until she came to an uninhabited place. Then she took the things stolen from the kitchen out of the space and laid them on the ground.
“Who would ever think that my spatial space was used for this.” She sighed softly. Seeing the dozens of dishes and a goblet of stew in front of her, she laughed so hard until her eyes were invisible from view.
“Isn’t this divine justice? Students can’t afford to eat these, while teachers eat these rare foods such as spirit meat, spirit ginseng, spirit chicken, and others. Who should I share these with? Sigh!”
She shook her head with a look of triumph. Then she rolled up her sleeves and drank the fragrant soup first. When it entered her mouth, a strong and dense aroma accompanied spirit energy spreading out from the tongue tip. After a few mouthfuls of soup, she felt its spirit energy also went toward her meridian and nourished the green lotus raised in her meridian.
“Tsk, tsk. How fragrant! Isn’t this what Young Master Mo Chen going to drink? Hey hey, the soup is already at my place, you’ll just drink my mixed water! ”
She did not know that a figure in white sitting atop the big tree behind her, looking quietly at her under the tree.
A pair of serene and indifferent eyes were watching the youth who came to sit cross-legged under the tree and took out more than a dozen dishes from the spatial space. Some of the dishes were whole and some were two dishes in one. When he saw the youth drinking the soup satisfactorily while uttering the last sentence, there was a glimmer in Mo Chen’s eyes.
He watched the youth rolled up his sleeves, tore off a chicken leg and ate it while muttering, “I’m starving to death. I’ve not eaten a good meal like this since entering the academy.” He couldn’t help but be astonished.
The young man recognized that he was the youth in red under the tree outside the academy, but he did not expect to meet him here for the second time, again under the tree. But this time, he saw him stealing food here.
