Chu Yunyi's lips curled into a bright smile as she spoke softly to him.

"Thank you."

Hua Qi sat down with a sullen face and no expression, as if her thanks had nothing to do with him.

However, at that moment, he suddenly asked,

"Do you cultivators also eat like mortals?"

Upon hearing this question, Chu Yunyi couldn't help but laugh. Her bright eyes sparkled as she patiently explained.

"Actually, for us cultivators, food is not a necessity. If we don't eat, we can sustain ourselves for a long time simply by relying on the abundant spiritual energy around us."

However, even if one can embark on the path of cultivation and become an extraordinary being, one is still essentially human, and naturally possesses various desires, one of which is tasting delicious food. Therefore, of course, we can enjoy fine cuisine!

Faced with Chu Yunyi's detailed and kind reply, Hua Qi simply responded with a single word.

"Oh."

Then they fell silent, and for a moment, only the soft sounds of chewing and the occasional clinking of bowls and chopsticks could be heard on the table.

A gentle breeze swept by, bringing a touch of coolness; soft sunlight streamed into the courtyard, illuminating everyone's face.

At this moment, the atmosphere was exceptionally peaceful and serene, and even Chu Yunyi was immersed in this pleasant feeling.

After lunch, Chu Yunyi rested for a while, then picked up her sword again, went out of the courtyard, and began practicing her swordsmanship.

She was agile and swift, her swordsmanship sharp and fierce, every move and stance imbued with killing intent.

Meanwhile, the honest and kind old man was sitting in the courtyard, skillfully weaving a bamboo basket.

In contrast, Hua Qi's task was much more arduous.

He first went to the backyard and split the mountain of firewood one by one; then he ran to the bamboo forest to cut down bamboo and carried it back.

Not only that, but he was also responsible for washing the dishes after meals and carrying water back to the house from a distance.

Despite having a lot of work to do, Hua Qi always worked diligently and silently without any complaints.

Time passed by, and before we knew it, an afternoon had quietly slipped away.

As night fell like a giant black curtain, Old Man Niu finished his day's work, ate a simple dinner, and went inside to rest. He did not appear again after that.

However, Chu Yunyi did not stop there. She moved to the center of the courtyard, but not to practice swordsmanship, but to cultivate.

The moonlight, like water, fell upon her, bathing her in a soft, silvery glow.

Just then, Hua Qi, who had just finished her work, stood quietly to the side, her gaze fixed on Chu Yunyi, looking as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Chu Yunyi noticed Hua Qi's gaze, opened her eyes and looked at Hua Qi with a hint of doubt in her eyes, as if asking him what he wanted to say.

Seeing this, Hua Qi stepped towards Chu Yunyi. When the two were face to face, only a few feet apart, he finally mustered up the courage to speak.

"Could you teach me how to cultivate?"

Although the voice was not loud, it was full of sincerity.

Chu Yunyi paused slightly, then a sly smile appeared on her lips as she replied,

"Sure, as long as you come back with me, I will teach you diligently. What do you think?"
