My ancestors were spiritual plant growers, so it's not surprising that I hunt demons every day,

"The token is fine."

After carefully verifying and confirming that everything was correct, Cui Zhengming returned the jade pendant to the middle-aged cultivator, nodded to Cui Ying, and indicated that he could take the item out.

Cui Ying glanced around, then obediently took out the small wooden box and handed it to Cui Zhengming, then stood on the shore and waited quietly.

Qin Simiao beamed and nodded happily upon hearing this: "That's right, Sister Cui Ying is your young master's savior."

Hua Yin peeked out, her big, round eyes scanning Qin Simiao and Cui Ying up and down. She quickly gave a knowing, ingratiating smile and said:

"Young Master, I've been with you for so many years and I've never seen you so happy. You wouldn't have taken a fancy to this little female cultivator, would you?"

"Don't talk nonsense, Sister Cui Ying will be unhappy."

Qin Simiao suddenly remembered that Cui Ying had seen her completely naked while she was changing clothes, and her ears burned again. After scolding Shi Yin, General Yan Hu, who was standing next to her, suddenly frowned and suggested in a low voice:

"Young Master, we should go back now. The City Lord is waiting for you."

"Not urgent."

Qin Simiao waved her hand dismissively and looked in Cui Ying's direction again, saying:

"General Yan is busy with affairs, so you should go back first. I have already made arrangements to treat my savior to dinner later."

While Qin Simiao and her servant were talking, Cui Zhengming also understood Cui Ying's hint. He put the small wooden box in his pocket, pulled the middle-aged cultivator aside, whispered something to him, and handed over the money and the goods, thus completing the mission.

"Sister Cui Ying, it's me..."

At this moment, Qin Simiao walked up to Cui Ying, and only managed to say a few words shyly before Cui Ying gave him a strange look and then turned to General Yan beside her, saying:

"Since your family is waiting for you, you should go back quickly."

"Sister Cui Ying, don't be in such a hurry to send me away. Didn't we agree to invite you and the two uncles to have dinner at Yunxiangji?"

Qin Simiao didn't even glance at Yan Hu behind her, and took a step closer to Cui Ying, saying, "Sister Cui Ying, don't move yet."

Cui Ying was slightly taken aback, wondering what Qin Simiao was up to. Just as she froze in place, Qin Simiao reached out and took a wisp of fluff from her hair, holding it in his palm and smiling at Cui Ying.

Hua Yin, who was standing next to her, also came over and smiled cleverly at Cui Ying:

"Hehe~ Fairy sister, please don't hesitate. You know, apart from having dinner with my wife, my young master has never had any female cultivator as lucky as you."

"Huayin is right, please give me this opportunity, Sister Cui Ying."

Seeing Qin Simiao's persistent expression, Cui Ying had no choice but to nod: "Okay, let's eat."

As she spoke, she turned to Cui Zhengming and Zhao Sihai and said, "Father, Uncle Zhao, come on, the young master of the Qin family is inviting us to have a spiritual meal."

Zhao Sihai raised his white eyebrows and said with a broad smile:

"My stomach has been growling for ages, I've been waiting for you to say that."

Qin Simiao nodded with a smile and called out, "In that case, let's hurry up and go."

"Okay, I am indeed hungry."

After seeing off the middle-aged cultivator and his group, Cui Zhengming put away the spirit stones and came over. Hearing this, he readily agreed.

But when Qin Simiao returned to the Black Cavalry Guards, General Yan frowned again and said:

"They are all rogue cultivators with no foundation. Even if they saved your life, young master, I can simply send them away with some spirit stones and valuables. Young master, you are of noble birth, why should you condescend to invite these people to dinner?"

Qin Simiao narrowed her phoenix eyes, a rare hint of anger rising within her:

“General Yan Hu, you are my father’s right-hand man, and I respect you. But please remember that they are my saviors. If you are not happy, you can leave first. Besides, it is not your place to lecture me on how to do things.”

"Young master, please calm down. This humble general had no such intention."

Qin Simiao's anger immediately caused Yan Hu and the other Black Cavalry Guards on the opposite side to kneel down.

Zhao Sihai and Cui Zhengming, who were not far away, were startled by this scene and whispered in surprise:

"Wow, who is this kid? He's so powerful."

It's no wonder they were so surprised; the black-clad guards were composed of Qi Refining cultivators, and their mere presence exuded a chilling aura.

What kind of simple person is Qin Simiao, who can make these people kneel down?

Luckily, they didn't offend this kid, otherwise, their fate would have been very different.

After Cui Ying and the others had left, Qin Simiao then asked Yan Hu and the others to stand up, and greeted them:

"Sister Cui Ying, I know there is a Foundation Establishment Spirit Chef in Yunxiang Village. Let's hurry over there, or we might miss meeting that extraordinary spirit chef."

After urging everyone on, Qin Simiao led them into the Huaxitan Market.

Xixi Beach Market and the other nine cities of Leiyun all belong to Huichuan Prefecture and are under the jurisdiction of the powerful cultivation clan, the Qin family.

The Qin family patriarch, on the surface, only possessed the cultivation of the early Nascent Soul stage, but in reality, he had already broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage and was only one step away from the Divine Transformation stage.

Cui Ying never expected that she would arrive in Huichuan Prefecture so early in this life.

In her previous life, she was always busy cultivating and improving her cultivation level, traveling between various mountain ranges and secret realms. She was either fighting with demonic beasts or battling with enemies, and rarely had the opportunity to visit Huichuan Prefecture, which was famous for its waters and seas of flowers.

Therefore, after following Qin Simiao into Huaxitan Market, she followed behind Cui Zhengming and Zhao Sihai, looking around with a slightly curious gaze.

Although Yan Hu, who was following behind, was dissatisfied, he did not dare to say anything because Qin Simiao was present. He could only send people to Yunxiangji to clear the area.

After walking along a very wide street, the group soon saw a small, suspended building half-hidden in a sea of ​​flowers.

"Uncles, Sister Cui Ying, please take a look and see what dishes you would like to eat."

Cui Zhengming had never seen such a luxurious and extravagant restaurant in his life. Even after Chengyun entered the small building and sat down at the table, he was still feeling somewhat dazed.

Upon hearing this, he and Zhao Sihai waved their hands somewhat awkwardly: "You guys order, you guys order, I'll eat anything, I'm not picky."

After Qin Simiao looked over, Cui Ying looked at the crystal recipe on the table and said:

"Braised snow shark fin, pork tenderloin in a lotus leaf, cherry snow frog, iris pink crab soup, honey-roasted spirit goose, rouge tofu, ten catties of braised spirit bones, and you can handle the rest."

“I ate the same food as Sister Cui Ying.”

Not long after Qin Simiao made his statement, several masked but graceful female cultivators placed the food on the table one by one.

"The food is all served, let's eat!"

"Well, then we won't stand on ceremony."

Cui Zhengming had never seen such exquisite dishes before. He felt that just smelling them made his lungs feel like they were filled with an enticing aroma of spiritual food, which not only made his mouth water and whetted his appetite, but also instantly eliminated the fatigue from his journey.

"You should eat quickly too."

While Cui Zhengming and the others were enjoying their meal, Cui Ying placed the ten catties of braised spirit bones on the table in front of Ta Xue, gently patted Ta Xue's head, and smiled:

"Now that we've finished eating, we can head home as soon as possible. Brother Shiyin is still waiting for us at home."
