I Have A Dual World Seal

Lu Zheng was at a loss for words.

At that time, they had just left Tushan and were preparing to return to the Central Plains. They couldn’t possibly go back for just a few sheep and cows, right?

Moreover, after inviting Yue Yifeng, Mo Yue Xian, and a monk and a daoist for a meal, he had little left. He took some back to Tonglin County, a few meals for the Liu Family, a few meals for Peach Blossom Plain, and took a portion back to Blue Star. Shortly after, Ao Qian arrived.

The little bit of meat was eaten clean within less than two months.

Even though Mo Yue Xian was evidently teasing her, Tu Yujiao was still very angry.

The worst thing for a foodie is to be despised by another foodie.

So Tu Yujiao took it out on Lu Zheng, "I don’t care! This time when we go to Tonglin County in Central Plains, I want to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, I want to eat Whole Chicken Feast, and I want to eat the Three Animal Hundred Dishes Banquet!"

She had eaten Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and Whole Chicken Feast before. The Three Animal Hundred Dishes refers to using pigs, cows, and sheep, making a hundred dishes from the whole body!

She only heard Liu Qingquan brag about it; although she had eaten the various dishes scatteredly, she never had them combined into a banquet.

Tu Yujiao ground her teeth, a smirk forming on her lips, "Otherwise, I’ll tell Qingyan you’re flirting with me!"

Lu Zheng proclaimed his innocence, "I didn’t!"

Tu Yujiao squinted her eyes, "I’ve lived over a hundred years, don’t think I didn’t catch that double entendre of yours just now."

Lu Zheng: !!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ

"Deal or no deal?"

"Deal!"

Lu Zheng nodded vigorously, "Not only will I make the Three Animal Hundred Dishes Banquet, but I’ll also make the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall into my new creation, Aquatic and Terrestrial Buddha Jumps Over the Wall—guaranteed to satisfy you!"

Only then did Tu Yujiao let Lu Zheng off the hook. By this time, the shopkeeper had also sliced various roasted and marinated meats and brought them up to the table one by one.

"Come on, let’s dig in!" Mo Yue Xian called out.

Lu Zheng took out a few bottles of Cyan Plum Wine and Flower Carving Wine from the gourd and placed some on each of the two tables, "Wuliangye is too strong, let’s drink fruit wines and huangjiu today. We can wait to get drunk back in Tonglin County."

Tu Yuchen took the porcelain bottle, uncorked it, and took a deep inhale, "The aroma is delightful, wonderful indeed!"

Lu Zheng picked up the Flower Carving Wine and poured a full glass for Yue Yifeng as well, "Brother Yue, please!"

"Please!" Yue Yifeng raised his glass and drank it down.

At this moment, Mo Yue Xian recounted the events of their last meeting with Lu Zheng.

"So there was a daoist from Yuan Mountain Temple and a monk from Dharma King Temple." Tu Yuya nodded, having understood the situation from that day.

"Why are they everywhere?" Tu Yuxing scoffed, "Whenever I come to the Central Plains, I always run into them, warning me not to mess with the reputation of Central Plains women. Seriously, am I that kind of person? I steal hearts, not people!"

Lu Zheng was speechless, and Tu Yuchen patted his brother on the shoulder, "Not much better though."

At this time, the folks from Tushan also understood the relationship between Lu Zheng and the Yue Yifeng couple, and admired Lu Zheng’s broad-mindedness.

Being challenged to a duel on the road and then inviting the opponent to dinner after winning is not something an ordinary person can do.

Those who can do it either are extremely kind-hearted or possess great vision and mindset, able to win others over with their strength, character, and personality.

Lu Zheng certainly wasn’t the first kind; judging from Yue Yifeng pouring wine for Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng might not fully embody the second kind yet, but he’s close.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be peacefully sitting together, eating meat and drinking wine.

Lu Zheng picked up a slice of beef tripe with his chopsticks, popped it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly, nodding in approval, "Not bad."

The chili pepper, with a slightly sweet and spicy flavor, the sweetness akin to honey, and the spiciness a bit dry, was truly a unique spice Lu Zheng hadn’t tried before.

"Isn’t it distinctive?" Tu Yujiao asked.

"Indeed." Lu Zheng nodded.

"Then shall we add another dish to the Whole Chicken Feast?" Tu Yujiao asked enthusiastically.

"Sure!" Lu Zheng gestured an okay sign with his hand, indicating it’s all set.

On the other side, Mo Yue Xian asked, "Are you planning to travel to the Central Plains?"

Tu Yuya nodded, "Qingyan invited us to tour the Central Plains."

"Back then, Qingyan and I got along well, and now it’s been a long time since we met. I quite miss them." Mo Yue Xian’s eyes shifted as she spoke coyly, "Coincidentally, we’re also planning to travel to the Central Plains, shall we join you?"

"Oh please!" Tu Yujiao snorted, directly revealing Mo Yue Xian’s intent, "If you want to join for the banquet, just say so. Do you even know what Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is? Do you know the variety of preparations for the Three Animal Hundred Dishes Banquet?"

Even gentle and serene Mo Yue Xian was slightly irked by Tu Yujiao’s provocation.

Tu Yuya maintained her big sister demeanor, especially since they were somewhat the hosts and Yue Yifeng and Mo Yue Xian didn’t find fault with them, they wouldn’t lose their manners.

"Brother Lu is generous, and Qingyan is hospitable. You all being together is naturally fine." Tu Yuya said calmly.

Mo Yue Xian smiled upon hearing this, her eyes squinting, her grin somewhat fox-like, as she raised the cyan porcelain bottle to pour a glass of Cyan Plum Wine for Tu Yuya.

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

Yue Yifeng maintained a formal posture while eating, listening to Mo Yue Xian and Tu Yuya’s exchange without reacting, instead turning his gaze to Lu Zheng.

"By chance, Yue Mou recently had some insights and would like to learn from Brother Lu’s Direct Inheritance Technique."

On the day of the spar, Yue Yifeng lost to the "Feiyu Riding the Dawn Sword Scripture" under Lu Zheng’s Nine Swords Unleashed, and during the meal, he discovered that this was not Lu Zheng’s main cultivation technique.

This was a lingering regret for Yue Yifeng, and upon encountering him again, he wasn’t initially inclined to fight, but hearing Mo Yue Xian’s suggestion of traveling together provided the opportunity.

Lu Zheng chuckled, poured more Flower Carving Wine for Yue Yifeng, "You know I’m from White Cloud Temple, don’t you? My Direct Inheritance Technique isn’t as good in attack as the ’Feiyu Riding the Dawn Sword Scripture’."

"But I’ve researched it." Yue Yifeng said indifferently, "White Cloud Temple is a major Daoist sect, far stronger than Feiyu Mountain."

Lu Zheng rubbed his hands, "Not necessarily, Feiyu Mountain is quite renowned."

Feiyu Mountain wasn’t weak among the sword cultivation sects, but in recent years it had somewhat declined, at least not as prominent as Cloud Ascending Mountain, also located in Jingzhou of Guanglin Dao.

"But it’s no match for Innate Cloud Qi." Yue Yifeng added.

"That’s true." Lu Zheng nodded, not belittling himself—the Innate Cloud Qi of White Cloud Temple was indeed famous worldwide.

Seeing Yue Yifeng and Lu Zheng arrange a duel, the Tushan Foxes were enthusiastically prepared to watch the commotion.

Though they were sure Yue Yifeng wasn’t Lu Zheng’s match, they refrained from mocking.

The reason was simple: they couldn’t defeat Yue Yifeng themselves, so what right did they have to mock him?

"Can you freely travel to the Central Plains?" Lu Zheng asked, recalling the day when Master Miaoyi and Zen Master Chi Huan obstructed the way.

Yue Yifeng nodded calmly, "Certainly, Yue and I planned to visit the Central Plains this time, wanting to see the sea."

"Understood." Lu Zheng nodded, "Then I welcome you to come and visit my home."

...

Thus, after purchasing a batch of chili peppers in Jiezhou, they added two more people on the way home.
