Demonic Dao Fanfiction: Protecting You from Worries for a Lifetime

restaurant.

Xue Yang and Wei Ying were already waiting in the restaurant. However, when Chao Yang, Meng Yao, and Fen Hua entered the restaurant, Wei Ying and Lan Wangji looked embarrassed, while Xue Yang was visibly angry.

Chaoyang: "What... happened?"

Chaoyang didn't wait for the two to explain anything. When Chaoyang, Meng Yao and Fen Hua noticed the few marks on Wei Ying's neck that were inadvertently revealed, they raised their eyebrows in understanding and their expressions changed.

Seeing everyone's cold faces, Wei Ying hurriedly reached out to cover his face, his face flushing even redder, and he stammered, unable to speak. Xue Yang, seeing this, became even more furious and snorted coldly.

Chaoyang stepped forward and whispered in Wei Ying's ear, "Aying and Lan Wangji...?" But no matter how soft the voice was, how could everyone present, who were all cultivators, not hear it? After hearing this, everyone present had different expressions.

“Puff!” Wei Wuxian couldn’t help but spit out the tea as soon as he took a sip after receiving it from Lan Wangji. He then burst into a violent coughing fit and said hurriedly, “Ahem…Uncle, what are you talking about!”

Chaoyang first glanced at Lan Wangji with a scrutinizing gaze, then gently pointed at his neck. Wei Ying subconsciously covered his neck, a blush spreading from his neck to his eyes and gradually climbing up his face. He glared at Lan Wangji, as if blaming him, before shyly saying, "No...no, uncle, Lan Zhan and I are not like you think."

Chaoyang gently took Wei Wuxian's hand and began to feel his pulse. He was relieved to confirm that his Yuan Yang was still there. Then, he gently waved his hand on Wei Wuxian's neck, and the marks on his neck magically disappeared.

Chaoyang warned Wei Wuxian earnestly, "You're still young. Doing this too early will damage your foundation. Wait until you're an adult. That will be the right time."

As the red mark on Wei Ying's neck vanished, Lan Wangji's expression grew noticeably colder, his eyes revealing a subtle hint of disappointment. It was as if the disappearance of the red mark had taken away some subtle anticipation from his heart, leaving his previously calm face with an inexplicable coldness.

However, when Chaoyang's words reached their ears, Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian couldn't help but feel their cheeks getting hot at the same time. Wei Wuxian's face even turned red. Although Lan Wangji's facial expression did not change, careful observation revealed that his ears were already red.

At this time, the disciples came in with Qinghengjun, Wen Ruohan, Nie Mingjue and Nie Huaisang, breaking the awkward scene.

Qing Hengjun and the others were stunned by the tense atmosphere in the room, their gazes darting between the people, as if trying to figure out what was going on. Wen Ruohan even asked directly, "What are you talking about? The atmosphere is so strange, weren't we supposed to have breakfast?"

Wei Wuxian hurriedly followed what Wen Ruohan said and changed the subject, "Everyone is in for a treat today. Today's breakfast is made by my uncle himself." After saying that, he glanced at Lan Wangji again, and seeing that the latter still maintained that cold expression, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

Wen Ruohan and Nie Mingjue were shocked and said, "Oh? Sect Master Xuanyuan can actually cook?" There was a hint of surprise and admiration in their tone, and they were obviously surprised that Sect Master Xuanyuan could cook.

Chaoyang smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in his eyes, "Yes, it's rare for me to cook for you, you must try it."

Nie Huaisang jokingly said, "Brother, you may not know that once you step into the Guiyuan Sect, whether you are an outer disciple or an inner disciple, you must learn the art of cooking."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became more tense. Nie Mingjue frowned slightly upon hearing this, clearly puzzled and surprised by Guiyuan Sect's rule. "Why is this? A gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, so why do all Guiyuan Sect disciples have to learn cooking?"

Chaoyang elaborated, "The reason is that there are special formations in the world of cultivation. Within the range of these formations, the use of spiritual power and anything related to spiritual power is prohibited, and within the formation, one is like an ordinary person. These formations are usually set up in secret realms, causing many disciples to become extremely emaciated upon leaving the secret realm, and some even suffer damage to the foundation of their cultivation. This is precisely to prevent this from happening. Therefore, learning cooking has become a necessary skill. We don't require you to cook delicious food, but at least you must be self-sufficient and ensure you don't go hungry."

Everyone then suddenly realized what was going on.

Qing Hengjun asked the key question right away: "Secret Realm? Has Sect Master Xuanyuan ever taken his disciples to the Secret Realm?"

Hearing this, Wen Ruohan and Nie Mingjue turned their gazes to Chaoyang again. Chaoyang smiled and suggested, "Sect Master Lan, why don't we sit down and talk while we eat?"

Qing Hengjun: "Sorry! I almost forgot. Let's talk while we eat."

At this time, Wen Ruohan also interrupted, "Regarding the secret realm, Sect Master Xuanyuan, are you referring to the secret realm mentioned yesterday? I understand from your words that you have made great achievements in the field of secret realm exploration. I wonder if you can share some valuable experience?"

Chaoyang smiled and nodded, motioning everyone to sit down.

Wen Ruohan's words were tinged with respect and curiosity, clearly showing great interest in Chaoyang's experience in exploring secret realms. Following Chaoyang's gesture, everyone took their seats, and Nie Huaisang eagerly called for the attendants to bring the already prepared delicacies to the table.

Besides Chaoyang's wontons, the table also featured other dishes prepared by Meng Yao and the others. They were all delicious, and for a moment, the room was filled with an alluring aroma. Although Nie Mingjue still had many questions in his mind, he was also infected by the atmosphere. He temporarily put aside his doubts and began to savor the food on the table.

Chaoyang deftly picked up his chopsticks, gently picked up a piece of vegetable, and put it into his mouth to savor it carefully. Then he slowly spoke, "There are three types of secret realms. First, after the death of a powerful cultivator, their training cave becomes a secret realm. There may be inheritance left in the cave, but you have to judge its quality. Second, there are naturally formed secret realms. These secret realms usually have certain cultivation requirements. According to the current state of the world, the secret realm you discovered may only be accessible to those in the Foundation Establishment stage. The secret realm of the Golden Core stage may have to wait. Finally, due to the low level of this world, the third type of secret realm may not appear."

After hearing this, Wen Ruohan's eyes flashed with surprise. He hadn't expected the secret realms to be so meticulously categorized. He couldn't help but ask, "Then, Sect Master Xuanyuan, which secret realm have you entered?"

Chaoyang smiled slightly: "In my original world, such secret places are everywhere."

Upon hearing this, Nie Mingjue couldn't help but feel yearning: "Is there any danger in that secret realm?"
