Chapter 55 - 055 Witness the Miracle
The elder’s face, filled with frustration, was suddenly replaced by surprise. He looked bewildered as he turned his head, incessantly sniffing, without the slightest feeling of shame in what he was doing.
There was no room for embarrassment here, as more than half of the people present were mimicking his actions.
“Oh my lord, what is this scent? How could there be such a delicious feeling in
this world?”
“Is this smell coming from the secret room?”
“Cumin lamb, this… could this truly be a delicacy?”
The swallowing sounds never ceased in the crowd. Where else had they smelled
the heartwarming aroma of cumin lamb?
Not to mention, Yang Zhen was exceptionally talented; he not only handled the lamb perfectly, but even the barbecue sauce he crafted was of the highest quality. With Yang Zhen’s talent, he was indeed a master chef, able to bring out the most delicious taste of the cumin lamb.
Regardless if it were in the Nether State mainland or on the Azure Planet, nobody could cook the cumin lamb more delicious than Yang Zhen.
A sound of saliva dropping onto the ground was heard. A practitioner, with a blank stare, headed towards the secret room.
“This… this is too delicious. My loss of appetite disappeared. This is the most delicious taste in the world. If I could take a bite of this roasted meat, dying would be worth it!”
Of course, they would not really die. Most of the people who said such things were just expressing their inner feelings. However, they couldn’t control their saliva.
This Practitioner was walking forward while drooling. All the Practitioners around him jumped away, quickly dodging him as his drool soaked his clothes.
It was truly disgusting.
“You’re dis…ugh…” A burly man nearby wanted to rebuke the Practitioner but hadn’t expected that his own saliva would spray out. He couldn’t help it and hurriedly reached out to wipe it away.
As Yang Zhen flipped the roast meat and brushed the barbecue sauce on it continuously, the rich, heartwarming aroma grew more intense. Even Medicine Elder narrowed his eyes, smacked his lips and pulled out an excellent drink from his arms. He breathed in the aroma and took a sip of the drink, his face filled with satisfaction.
“Medicine Elder, you are…” Lan Fangyue gaped, staring at Medicine Elder in
disbelief.
As an alchemist, Medicine Elder had a unique palate and hadn’t praised any
food for many years.
Today, however, he was drinking while savoring the aroma, so contentedly!
Lan Fangyue was utterly shocked by this.
Next to them, Hua Youyue moved her eyebrows, turning to ask the two, “Have you ever seen this way of roasting meat?
Lan Fangyue and Medicine Elder simultaneously shook their heads, not to mention having seen it, they hadn’t even heard of it before.
“Hua Girl, we must keep Yang Zhen in Changyue Tower. Our tower misses nothing but a promising young talent like Yang Zhen. He not only has talent and good cultivation, but he also speaks politely – an indispensable talent. Changyue Tower needs him!”
Lan Fangyue glared at Medicine Elder, “It’s your stomach that needs him, isn’t it?”
Medicine Elder wasn’t offended, but turned to ask Lan Fangyue, “Don’t you want to eat it?”
“Who… who wants to eat it!” Lan Fangyue swallowed a mouthful of saliva surreptitiously and turned her head away.
Medicine Elder chuckled, turning to look at Hua Youyue.
Hua Youyue, lost in thought, nodded and said, “Now I’m a bit curious. Can he really comprehend the ‘Sky Crossing Void’?”
“Impossible!” Lan Fangyue and Medicine Elder exclaimed simultaneously.
The two looked at each other. Medicine Elder snorted, “Roasting meat and talent are two different things. Even you couldn’t understand the principle of the ‘Sky Crossing Void.’ How could a young lad like him possibly comprehend it?”
Lan Fangyue nodded without hesitation, then suddenly stared wide-eyed at the water curtain. “What is he doing?”
Hua Youyue and Medicine Elder looked over at the same time, their expressions also one of bewilderment.
In the water curtain, Yang Zhen sat down on the ground, unexpectedly pulling out a bottle of wine from nowhere. He started to eat the meat and drink the wine, leaving the crowd, drooling and staring blankly. The garments of the practitioners at the scene were soaked halfway with saliva.
Yang Zhen was indeed very content. No wonder the ancients all liked to drink and eat meat, it’s just so delicious!
Especially under Yang Zhen’s exceptional talent, he managed to cook a simple piece of grilled lamb to perfection. The technique, the heat levels, everything was just right. Add to that the succulent and flavorful nature of the Storm Lamb’s meat, and you have a feast. Yang Zhen really enjoyed his meal and drank to his heart’s content.
“Guys, this is life!”
Yang Zhen laughed out loud, raising his glass toward the water curtain, “Everything is worth celebrating when you’re living a good life, don’t leave a golden cup idly facing the moon. Shame there’s no moon here, or else I’d raise my glass to the bright moon, and there would be three of us… Burp…
Hearing Yang Zhen even burp, everyone’s eyes twitched, while many others murmured, repeating Yang Zhen’s words.
Especially Hua Youyue, a strange look flashed in her eyes as she murmured to herself, “‘Everything is worth celebrating when you’re living a good life, don’t leave a golden cup idly facing the moon… raise my glass to the bright moon, and there would be three of us’. There seems to be a Dao hidden in these words. It’s not the Grand Dao, but it’s something someone of Yang Zhen’s age shouldn’t comprehend. What kind of person is he?”
Lan Fangyue looked at Hua Youyue in shock, her disbelief clear. Despite being by Hua Youyue’s side for so many years, Lan Fangyue had never seen her show such curiosity about anyone.
Not only was Hua Youyue curious, but Lan Fangyue was also extremely curious. Even though Yang Zhen was vulgar, unruly, and unorthodox, he seemed to surpass all the so-called young talents in Flame City.
Compared to Yang Zhen, a genius like Ding Keqi faded in comparison, and became ordinary and insignificant.
Yang Zhen didn’t know about the monumental changes in Hua Youyue and Lan Fangyue’s thoughts. Right now, he was just thoroughly enjoying himself.
No wonder the ancients could come up with the idea that “Everything is worth celebrating when you’re living a good life”, you really need to live your own way and wander freely through life!
In Nether State, Yang Zhen experienced freedom for the first time.
Soon, the jug of wine was drained by Yang Zhen. He casually threw the jug away, laughed aloud and staggered to his feet with somewhat of a drunken swagger, “Live freely today with today’s wine. Guys, I’m going to sleep now, you’re lucky, you can catch the livestream of the top streamer’s sleep stream. Remember to hit 666!”
Everyone:
All eyes twitched, ready to rush in, break open the secret room and drag Yang Zhen out for a beating.
Live streaming sleep?
How could he come up with this? He had already defied conventions by live-streaming the grilling of meat and drinking, but a surprising number of people had witnessed the full process.
Now Yang Zhen was going to live-stream his sleep?
Make everyone watch him sleep?
What if Yang Zhen decided to sleep through the entire night? The thought drove everyone nearly mad; they felt as if they were being driven insane by this rascal, Yang Zhen.
Hua Youyue’s eyes were twitching too, a tiny vein popping on her forehead, revealing just how frustrated she was.
Lan Fangyue and Medicine Elder jumped in surprise, and just as they were about to calm Hua Youyue down, she snorted and turned to leave.
But then there was an exclamation from the crowd, followed by Yang Zhen s voice again.
Yang Zhen sat up suddenly, looking somewhat dazed, “Aiyoh, I think I forgot something important. Let’s not sleep yet. To the viewer who said they want to watch the host sleep, step out. I won’t punch you, I swear!”
Hua Youyue stumbled, her breathing unsteady. She turned to glare at Yang Zhen, her eyes twitching.
Yang Zhen waved his hand dismissively, “Nevermind, as a generous adult and model citizen, how can I blame my viewers?”
Everyone looked puzzled as they questioned their identities, where they were, and what in the world was happening.
Yang Zhen laughed, standing up, “Now I’m going to comprehend the cultivation method. Guys, open your eyes, it’s time to witness the miracle..”
