190: Chapter 190 Alluring Beauty Remains

"Alright, Yuchen, my Master said I don't need to return to the Sect for these next few days. Can I stay here and practice the Sword Technique with you all?"

Having witnessed Xiao Yuchen's Sword Technique, Dongfang Qingcheng was completely convinced. She felt that as long as she stayed by Xiao Yuchen's side, her Sword Technique would definitely improve significantly.

"That doesn't seem right, does it? I'm not the owner of this place; I'm just staying at the Wen family's residence. Staying here wouldn't be as comfortable as living in the City Lord's Mansion."

Xiao Yuchen intended to refuse; he wasn't sure what might happen once two women were brought together.

"How can a Cultivator covet material comforts? You can just let me squeeze in with your little girlfriend; you don't need to worry about cooking for me either. I can already fast now."

"Uh... don't talk nonsense. She... she is my little sister, not my girlfriend." Xiao Yuchen quickly explained.

"You men are all duplicitous. Could it be that you don't have other intentions toward her?"

In Dongfang Qingcheng's view, Xiao Yuchen must be lusting after beauty; otherwise, why would he stay at the Wen family residence? She couldn't see anything special about the Wen father and daughter.

"I don't. If the Wen father and daughter agree, you can stay, but you'd better watch your mouth. If you talk nonsense, you will leave immediately."

"No problem, as long as I can stay."

Soon, the two of them returned to the Wen residence. Hearing that Princess Dongfang Qingcheng actually wanted to live in her home and practice the Sword Technique with her, Wen Ruyu felt very conflicted.

Logically speaking, having a good relationship with the Princess would definitely be beneficial for her. Whether in Qingshan City or after going to the Qingyun Sword Sect, Princess Dongfang Qingcheng could provide her with convenience.

But facing the Princess, she felt somewhat inferior. Whether it was family background, cultivation, or beauty, she couldn't compare to the Princess. If the Princess were allowed to stay here, would she still have a chance?

However, Wen Ruyu only hesitated for a moment before agreeing, because she knew in her heart that she couldn't refuse. Moreover, the three of them would all be going to the Qingyun Sword Sect in the future, and there would be plenty of opportunities to be together; she couldn't stop it anyway.

"Sister Ruyu, thank you so much. You are truly so understanding. No wonder Yuchen treats you so well; I'm so envious."

"Princess, it is our honor that you can come to our home. Qingshan City is able to be so peaceful all thanks to the City Lord."

Seeing the two women chatting and laughing, Xiao Yuchen took the initiative to leave and sat down with Wen Qing.

"Xiao Chen, you just arrived in Qingshan City and have already won the heart of the Princess. You are simply a winner in life."

In Wen Qing's view, since the Princess had actually come to their door on her own initiative and even requested to live here, it meant that the relationship between the two was definitely not ordinary. He feared his daughter would have no chance.

"Uncle Wen, please don't talk nonsense. The Princess and I are just friends. She came here just to thank me and, by the way, teach us the Qingyun Sword Technique." Xiao Yuchen casually found an excuse.

"Oh, so that's how it is. The Princess is truly thoughtful. Since she is helping us so much, we must show our appreciation. How about this, I will go catch another Gale Leopard to entertain the Princess."

Wen Qing was indeed very poor in his comprehension of the Sword Technique, but he was quite talented in culinary arts. For the past few days, he had been following Xiao Yuchen to learn cooking and had already reached the level of a city chef.

"There's no need to go to such trouble. The Princess can already fast; she doesn't need to eat."

"How can that be? We can't just let the Princess watch us eat. We don't have anything else in our home; this is all I can do."

Seeing Wen Qing so insistent, Xiao Yuchen did not stop him. An hour later, Wen Qing actually returned with two Gale Leopards.

The three of them practiced the Sword Technique on the side, while Wen Qing prepared the meal. Two hours later, the aroma filled the air. Wen Ruyu's stomach began to growl, and even Dongfang Qingcheng was attracted by the fragrance.

"What are you making? How can it be so fragrant?"

Dongfang Qingcheng walked to the dining table and sniffed the stewed meat.

"This is the meat of a Gale Leopard. Would the Princess like to have a taste?" Wen Qing invited her proactively.

"This... then I shall have a little taste?"

Dongfang Qingcheng picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth; her eyes lit up instantly.

"How can this taste so delicious?"

As the Princess of Qingshan City, Dongfang Qingcheng considered herself to have eaten many delicacies, but this was the first time she had tasted something so delicious.

"I am glad the Princess likes it."

Wen Qing was somewhat proud. Being able to gain the Princess's approval made all his research over these past few days worthwhile.

At this moment, Wen Ruyu also walked over, picked up a piece of meat, and put it into her mouth, but she couldn't help but feel uninterested.

"Father, what you made is not as delicious as what Brother Yuchen makes."

"You brat, the Princess said it's delicious. Don't you know how to save some Face for your father?"

Wen Qing was speechless; his daughter seemed to be leaking air, always undermining him.

"I'm not lying; it's just not as delicious as what Brother Yuchen makes."

"Sister Ruyu, you mean Yuchen can cook too?" Dongfang Qingcheng seemed to have discovered a new continent.

"Of course. The dishes Father makes were all taught by Brother Yuchen. They aren't even half as delicious as what Brother Yuchen makes. Moreover, Brother Yuchen can make many other delicious things that I guarantee you have never eaten before."

Hearing Wen Ruyu's words, Dongfang Qingcheng became interested. Although she could fast, how could she refuse delicious food?

"Yuchen, how about I give you another chance to show off?" Dongfang Qingcheng asked tentatively.

"No need. Have you forgotten what you said before? You said that a Cultivator must abandon desires and be transcendent and refined so that their cultivation can improve faster, and that eating is too vulgar."

Being exposed by Xiao Yuchen, Dongfang Qingcheng felt a bit embarrassed, but how could she refuse the temptation of delicious food? She said again, "As long as you cook for me once, I will forgive you for taking advantage of me. How about it?"

"What do you mean? Who took advantage of you?" Xiao Yuchen asked, puzzled.

"It was when you were treating my illness. Do you dare to say that you didn't use your hands to touch my... that... place? Do you think I don't know?" Dongfang Qingcheng said, feeling a bit shy.

"Hey, you can eat anything, but you can't say anything. That was normal treatment. Your father and your Master were both watching on the side at that time."

"I don't care. Anyway, you touched it. Either you make me a delicious meal to compensate me, or you will have to be responsible for me."

"I... fine, I'll do it."

Xiao Yuchen knew deeply that it was impossible to reason with women; whether on Earth or in the Cultivation World, it seemed to be the same. In the end, he could only compromise.

Since he had agreed, Xiao Yuchen was not stingy. He took out a lot of fruits, snacks, and drinks from the System Space, letting them eat while they waited.

Afterward, Xiao Yuchen took out a pile of ready-to-eat cooked food, such as roast chicken, roast duck, peanuts, and various other cold dishes.

This scene truly shocked Dongfang Qingcheng. Even the Wen father and daughter found it somewhat hard to accept. They really wanted to snatch Xiao Yuchen's Storage Ring and take a good look at what was inside.

"Yuchen, what are all these things? Why have I never seen them before?" Dongfang Qingcheng couldn't help but ask.

"There are still many things you haven't seen. Today, I will let you eat to your heart's content."

As he spoke, Xiao Yuchen processed the other Gale Leopard and made a whole roasted leopard. The animals here absorbed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and were much more delicious than the poultry on Earth; even he found it hard to refuse.
