Chapter 163: Chapter 159: Wasting Resources for that Flower

Behind everyone, there were several long tables lined up, heaped with a variety of ingredients, such as king crabs, little green dragons, star groupers, oysters, fresh abalones, fresh spotted prawns, squid tentacles, pork belly, beef skewers, meatballs, chicken, pig kidneys, squab, leeks, fresh mushrooms, taro chunks, eggplants, corn, sweet potatoes, chestnuts, peanuts... a feast for the eyes, with everything one could wish for.

The seafood and beef were brought by the Elder Madame Xuanyuan, while the rest was prepared by the Ruo Family.

The kids sat on one side, with the adults sitting opposite.

Ruo Zhou, being the eldest, sat in the middle of the children’s section, with Yan Heng and Ruo Shui taking positions at both ends to conveniently look after the kids.

To the left of Ruo Xuan was Xuanyuan Que, and to her right sat Yan Jiaojiao, with Yan Feng beside her.

For the Ruo Family’s youngsters, barbecuing was a first-time experience, and the abundance of food had them extremely excited.

Ruo Xuan held a skewer of grilled beef in her hand, chicken wings sizzled on the grill, while in front of her, on the rack, were a little green dragon, two oysters, a skewer of spotted prawns, and a small piece of taro, all keeping her hands full and busy.

Xuanyuan Que sat by her side, leisurely grilling several squid tentacles, and occasionally flipping the little green dragon, spotted prawns, and other foods in front of him.

Ruo Xuan, "Brother Xuanyuan Que, when the beef skewers are ready, I’ll give you some to eat."

Xuanyuan Que didn’t respond, merely glancing at the beef skewers in her hand with a look that didn’t quite believe she could grill them properly.

In a while, she would surely ask for his help.

Indeed, as the charcoal under the grill grew redder and hotter, the meat sizzled, and a delicious aroma filled the small courtyard.

Ruo Xuan became too busy to manage and hastily called out, "Brother Xuanyuan."

With just one shout, Xuanyuan Que intuitively passed several squid tentacles to Elder Madame Xuanyuan across from him, leaving two for her: "They’re ready to eat."

Then he took the skewers from Ruo Xuan’s hands and helped her flip the food in front of her, his movements composed and unhurried, as if he had been waiting for her to ask for help all along.

Ruo Xuan unreservedly took the two grilled squid tentacles and bit right into them.

Elder Madame Xuanyuan, sitting across from them, shared her grilled squid tentacles with those around her and, seeing Xuanbao eat without blowing on them, quickly reminded her, "Xuanbao, be careful, it’s hot."

If her mouth got burned, everything would taste bland afterward.

Ruo Xuan pouted upon hearing this, blew on the tentacles gently and then bit cautiously. She found that they were only slightly hot, just the perfect temperature for barbecue, as Divine Lord Xuanyuan had used his Spiritual Power to bring the heat to just the right level.

"It’s not very hot, a bit of heat makes it tastier!" Ruo Xuan took a big bite, her eyes sparkled as she mumbled, "Mmm, not hot, so delicious! So fragrant! And chewy! Brother Xuanyuan is amazing, how could you grill the squid tentacles so well!"

Ruo Xuan kept biting into one tentacle after another, her little mouth just couldn’t stop.

Elder Madame Xuanyuan and Granny Lei, thinking it wasn’t hot, both took a bite.

"Hiss!" Sounds of sharp inhalation echoed around!

How could they call this not hot?

Was Xuanbao’s mouth made of iron?

Ruo Xuan paused for a moment and glanced at Xuanyuan Que.

Xuanyuan Que’s expression remained unchanged as he continued to grill the skewers.

Ruo Xuan then realized that Divine Lord Xuanyuan had only cooled down the skewers for her.

True, they couldn’t let others know about their Immortal Technique, so only her own skewers weren’t hot to the mouth!

The others had just come off the grill, of course, they were hot, but since she had already eaten them, everyone must think she wasn’t afraid of the heat, so Ruo Xuan continued to pretend to blow on them before eating.

Soon Ruo Xuan nearly finished one whole skewer of squid tentacles. Then she remembered Xuanyuan Que hadn’t had even a bite, so she vigorously blew on the last tentacle on the bamboo skewer and offered it to Xuanyuan Que, "Brother Xuanyuan, you eat."

Xuanyuan Que glanced around, noticing they were surrounded by people. This was leftovers from her, sharing a single skewer was a bit too intimate, and they weren’t siblings.

He might not consider these matters, but he couldn’t pretend to be unaware, so he declined calmly, "You eat, I won’t."

Moreover, he had clearly seen her droplets of saliva landing on the squid tentacles when she was blowing on them.

How could he bring himself to eat it?

Xuanyuan Que was the quickest to grill his food to perfection, but everyone else’s skewers weren’t even ready. Yan Huan, seeing Xuanbao enjoying her food, had already been drooling and, hearing Xuanyuan Que refuse, quickly said, "Xuanbao, if cousin doesn’t want it, I’ll have it!"

The food grilled by his little cousin was simply bursting with flavor.

It was a shame he only grilled for Xuanbao, and they only got their chance when she was done.

"Here!" Ruo Xuan was generous and handed it over immediately. After all, she still had another skewer, and only the last squid tentacle was left on this one.

"Xuanbao, my dear sister, you’re the best," Yan Huan stood up and ran over to grab it, only to see Xuanyuan Que snatch the tentacle away and eat it in one bite.

Ruo Xuan: "Brother Xuanyuan doesn’t eat, does he?"

Yan Huan: "Little cousin, why are you snatching my squid strips?"

Xuanyuan Que: "I just felt like eating them suddenly."

Xuanyuan Que looked at the other skewer of squid strips in Ruo Xuan’s hands, "Have you had enough? Then give me the rest. I’ll eat, and you can do the grilling!"

Ruo Xuan quickly turned away, "No! I’m not full yet! I want to eat!"

Dissatisfied, Yan Huan sat back down. The little cousin was biased, he couldn’t help muttering, "He always takes care of Xuanbao!"

Yan Jiaojiao: "Xuanbao is still young, shouldn’t she be taken care of? You’re the older brother, you should look after the younger ones, right? Ever heard of respecting the old and loving the young? Ah, second brother, quickly flip that chicken drumstick for me, it’s about to burn! Hurry hurry hurry..."

In front of Yan Jiaojiao, there was even more food, and she had taken two portions of everything. She was frantically flipping them with both hands and feet.

Yan Feng and Yan Huan, the two brothers, hurried to help her flip, not even minding the food they were grilling themselves, fearing that what she grilled would all be burnt and inedible.

"I told you not to be greedy, grill one thing at a time. See how you can’t manage? You’re not going to finish all that you grilled, so greedy!" Yan Huan muttered.

Yan Jiaojiao retorted unhappily: "What I’ve grilled isn’t just for me, I’m grilling it for everyone to eat!"

"It’s all turned to charcoal now, who would want to eat that!"

The siblings bantered and grilled, making the scene lively and fun.

In the midst of her hustle, Yan Jiaojiao accidentally dropped a few chestnuts.

The chestnuts hit the glowing coals, causing the bright charcoal to suddenly burst with a ’pop’ sound.

Sparks flew up, one of them landing on the back of Ruo Xuan’s hand.

Ruo Xuan quickly finished off that skewer of squid strips and was reaching out to help flip a small green dragon on the rack when she suddenly felt a burn and instinctively withdrew her little paw.

Xuanyuan Que quickly put down the skewer he was holding, grasped her small hand, and gently rubbed the back of her hand, where she had been burnt, channeling a stream of spiritual power, "Does it still hurt?"

Ruo Xuan shook her head.

Xuanyuan Que, looking at the slightly red back of her hand, wasn’t reassured, so he channeled a bit more spiritual power into it.

Yan Jiaojiao was anxious: "Xuanbao, are you okay?"

Everyone else also stood up anxiously: "Xuanbao, did you get burnt?"

"I’ll go get the burn cream."

"Go get some ice."

...

Ruo Xuan quickly said: "It’s okay, I’m not in pain, really, it’s fine!"

She had just felt the pain when the Divine Lord Xuanyuan healed her.

Ruo Xuan hurriedly raised her hand to show everyone.

Seeing that Ruo Xuan’s delicate little hand wasn’t even red, everyone was reassured. Then they told her to sit further away, be careful, and they also reminded the kids to be careful.

Xuanyuan Que also told Ruo Xuan, "I’ll grill, you sit further back."

Plants are naturally afraid of fire.

Ruo Xuan obediently moved back a bit, propped her chin with one hand, and watched Xuanyuan Que flip the food: "Brother Xuanyuan, is the little green dragon almost ready? I want to eat more, I’m hungry."

"Almost," Xuanyuan Que unnoticeably infused the little green dragon with a stream of spiritual power, making it cook faster, taste more delicious, and the meat even more tender.

The aroma around intensified several degrees.

Even the little puppy Demon Lord couldn’t help but run over.

For that gluttonous flower, Xuanyuan Que was using spiritual power to grill meat, which was simply a waste of heaven’s gifts!

But it was really fragrant!

Even the dog couldn’t help drooling!

"Woof woof woof..."

I want some too!
