Zhao Yingying Eats Barbecue and Breaks Through

"Th-Thank you very much, Young Master Mu."

Zhao Yingying suddenly remembered something her Imperial Father had told her. Some old monsters had very peculiar tempers; they disliked being called "senior" and preferred to be addressed as younger.

Zhao Yingying quickly corrected herself and addressed Mu Feiyang as "Young Master" again, this time adding his surname.

"Then you tidy up here first. I'll go get some medicine for your friend," Mu Feiyang said and left. He recalled that he had refined some healing pills before, but he wasn't sure where he had put them. He needed to go back and find them.

He himself definitely wouldn't need healing pills. The reason he had refined them was because Little Black had been severely beaten by him, so Mu Feiyang had made some healing medicine for Little Black to consume.

Mu Feiyang returned to his room and searched. Finally, in a corner, he found the healing pills he had refined earlier. Fortunately, there were still two left.

"Miss Zhao, there are two healing pills left here. They should be enough to heal your friend's injuries. You can give her the medicine first!"

"I also don't think Miss Zhao has had dinner yet! I'm grilling outside. After you've given your friend the healing medicine, you can come eat something."

"Okay, thank you, Young Master Mu."

After Mu Feiyang gave the healing pills to Zhao Yingying, he went back outside to eat barbecue. Such a large wild boar couldn't be entirely eaten by Little Black.

In the side room, Zhao Yingying watched Mu Feiyang leave. She looked curiously at the bamboo tube in her hands. Inside the tube were two dark, unappealing pills.

Using the dim light in the room, Zhao Yingying gazed at the two pills in the bamboo tube, lost in thought. While she could accept pills being stored in a bamboo tube, the current shape of the pills was something she found difficult to accept.

Normally, refined pills were the size of a longan fruit, round and smooth. If they were better quality pills, they would even have rings of pill markings on the surface.

But what about the pills Mu Feiyang had given her now?

Setting aside the medicinal efficacy, the shape of the pills alone was hard to stomach. They weren't round at all; instead, they were pitted and uneven, like mud balls a child had made.

Furthermore, they were much larger than normal pills, estimated to be about the size of an egg. Zhao Yingying wasn't sure if she should give them to her sister.

Zhao Yingying took out one pill and smelled it. Although its appearance wasn't great, it smelled quite fragrant.

"These pills should be okay, right?" Zhao Yingying said uncertainly, smelling the faint medicinal aroma.

However, thinking that Mu Feiyang was likely a hidden old senior, Zhao Yingying decided to give the pill to her sister.

Zhao Yingying broke the pill in half and put one half into Zhao Shanshan's mouth, then gave Zhao Shanshan a sip of water to help her swallow it.

"Sister, how do you feel?"

"Yingying, I feel much better now. My injuries don't hurt as much. I should be a lot better after resting for a night."

"You haven't eaten all day either. After you recover, you must thank that young master properly."

"Okay!"

"Then you rest for a while, Sister. I'll go out now."

Zhao Yingying got up and walked outside. She was genuinely hungry now. She had been in fear and trepidation all along, and she had carried Zhao Shanshan for such a long distance.

Besides, the smell from outside was too enticing. She really wanted to try that barbecue, which smelled even better than the food prepared by the imperial chefs in the palace.

"Young Master Mu, thank you for the pills."

Zhao Yingying came outside and bowed to Mu Feiyang, but her eyes kept darting towards the barbecue on the grill.

"Heh heh!"

"Sit down and eat something first. It's just two healing pills, there's no need to thank me so much."

Mu Feiyang had already prepared a stool for Zhao Yingying. He had even considered that Zhao Yingying might feel shy as a girl and had prepared a pair of chopsticks and a bowl for her.

"Okay!"

Zhao Yingying sat down and looked at the grilled meat in the bowl in front of her, lost in thought. If her guess was correct, this was likely the Porcupine Demon that had injured her sister.

Zhao Yingying picked up a small piece of grilled meat and put it into her mouth. Instantly, an unprecedented fragrance filled her entire taste buds. It was incredibly delicious.

The golden-brown skin was crispy and fragrant. With one bite, it was satisfyingly crunchy, while the meat inside was oily but not greasy. It melted in her mouth with hardly any chewing required.

Having tasted its deliciousness, Zhao Yingying couldn't hold back anymore. She quickly picked up another piece of grilled meat and put it into her mouth. It was so good she couldn't stop.

"Would you like to try this?"

Seeing Zhao Yingying eating voraciously, Mu Feiyang handed her a bottle of iced beer. How could one eat barbecue without beer!

"Young Master Mu, what is this?"

Having never seen beer before, Zhao Yingying looked curiously at the beer Mu Feiyang handed her. Why were there so many things here that she had never seen before!

"This is called beer. It's a perfect match for barbecue. Eating barbecue and drinking beer is the correct way to enjoy it."

Mu Feiyang smiled and demonstrated for Zhao Yingying. It was normal for these people not to know about beer, as it wasn't a product of this world.

"Mmm..."

Zhao Yingying followed Mu Feiyang's actions, taking a bite of barbecue and then a sip of beer. As expected, the sensation was different from before.

"How is it? Is it even tastier than before?"

Seeing Zhao Yingying's look of enjoyment, Mu Feiyang smiled. It was definitely a satisfying feeling to have his cooking recognized by others.

"It's delicious, incredibly delicious. I've never eaten anything so good before."

"If it's delicious, eat more. There's still plenty of roast meat here!"

Seeing Zhao Yingying with her mouth full of oil, Mu Feiyang suddenly found the girl a little cute. He continued to enjoy the roast meat as well.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Zhao Yingying, who was eating enthusiastically, felt a massive surge of Spiritual Energy appear within her body, darting all over the place.

Moreover, Zhao Yingying felt her Vajra Triple Layer realm beginning to loosen. She quickly put down her chopsticks and began to meditate.

She circulated her cultivation technique to refine the Spiritual Energy within her body, slowly guiding it towards her Dantian. After the Spiritual Energy completed a full cycle through her body, it rushed towards the barrier of the Vajra Triple Layer.

Once...

Twice...

The Spiritual Energy repeatedly struck the barrier. After five or six attempts, Zhao Yingying's Vajra Triple Layer barrier was finally broken.

Zhao Yingying's realm naturally advanced to the Vajra Realm Fourth Layer. However, the Spiritual Energy within her body had barely been consumed. Zhao Yingying continued to cultivate.

Mu Feiyang watched as Zhao Yingying stopped eating after only a few bites. Just as he was feeling puzzled, he noticed that Zhao Yingying's realm had broken through. Mu Feiyang was somewhat surprised.

"Is this wild boar meat really that potent?"
