"Ning Luo's Brother, are you here for a picnic or for Training?" Nalan Yanran asked as she looked at Ning Luo.

"Ah, life can't only be about the drudgery before our eyes. There should also be poetry and distant horizons. Although this is Training, we can still treat it like a trip. It's an attitude toward life!" Ning Luo said earnestly.

"Then enjoy your food by yourself!" Nalan Yanran said disdainfully.

"You're not eating?" Ning Luo asked, looking at Nalan Yanran.

"I'm trying to lose weight. Of course I'm not eating!" Nalan Yanran immediately replied.

"Really not eating?" Ning Luo asked again.

"I said I'm not eating, so I'm not eating. Besides, tigers are so scary. Who could possibly eat one?

"I, Nalan Yanran, would rather starve to death, die out here, or jump down from here than eat your roasted tiger meat!" Nalan Yanran crossed her arms, stood to one side, and proudly raised her chin.

Ning Luo knew Nalan Yanran was hopelessly tsundere, so he simply ignored her and walked over to the riverbank.

He then took out the salt he carried with him and went to find some honey.

Then, he cleaned the Crimson Flame Tiger, chopped it up, and put it into a pot to stew. He placed the four tiger legs on the grill as well.

He sprinkled them with the spices he had made himself.

He had named the spice blend Thirteen Spices.

Before long, a rich fragrance wafted out.

The entire forest was filled with its heady aroma.

Then, using the Beast Fire he had taken from the Crimson Flame Tiger, he lit the flames and began grilling! He used the Crimson Flame Tiger's fire to grill the Crimson Flame Tiger's meat.

He had truly taken from the people and used it for the people.

It was also completely green and pollution-free! In an instant, the fragrance burst forth, drifting thickly through the air.

Nalan Yanran caught the scent and could not help glancing over several times. But then she remembered what she had said earlier, snorted coldly, and turned her head away.

Ning Luo still ignored her and simply continued grilling the tiger meat in his hands.

On the other side.

The tiger meat in the pot was bubbling away.

Ning Luo added some herbs and made a medicinal tiger soup.

In fact, grilling tiger meat was also a form of cultivation.

He wanted to become an Alchemist, and Alchemists had extremely high requirements for fire control. A slight mistake could ruin a pill, and grilling tiger meat was a way for him to practice controlling fire.

The heat could not be too fierce, or the meat would burn. But it could not be too low either, or the meat would not cook through.

After grilling for a while, the fragrance spread everywhere.

Several small Magical Beasts cautiously poked their heads out and stared at Ning Luo. Ning Luo was now a Dou Zhe and had no fear of such small Magical Beasts. With a soft shout, he scared them away at once.

He grilled the tiger skin until it turned golden, looking crisp, tender, and delicious. Then, unhurriedly, he brushed it with honey.

At once, the entire roasted tiger leg seemed to gain a soul. Its fragrance erupted instantly.

The powerful aroma spread through the air, and even Ning Luo could not help swallowing as he grilled it.

"It would be even better with some cumin," Ning Luo sighed.

However, this world had no cumin. He sprinkled on some of his homemade Thirteen Spices, and the aroma exploded into the air.

"Mmm, it smells so good!"

Ning Luo held it close to his nose and took a sniff.

At that moment, Nalan Yanran stared fixedly at Ning Luo and swallowed.

Ning Luo smiled. "Junior Sister, do you want some?"

"I said I'm not eating, so I'm not eating!"

Nalan Yanran immediately turned her head away, as though that could ward off the temptation of the aroma.

"Fine, then. If you're not eating, I'm going to eat it. I won't save any for you!" Ning Luo said, then took a bite.

Crunch—

Crispy on the outside and tender within, fragrant and delicious! The rich flavor burst in his mouth, filling it with savory oiliness.

"So delicious!"

Ning Luo ate while wearing an expression of blissful enjoyment.

As he spoke, he took another bite! Just then, Nalan Yanran suddenly rushed over and snatched the half-eaten tiger meat from Ning Luo's hand.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't eat?" Ning Luo looked at Nalan Yanran in surprise.

"Hmph, what's it to you!"

Nalan Yanran grabbed the tiger leg and immediately bit down.

"Mmm, so fragrant!"

Nalan Yanran cried out at once.

"You should give me some! There's still my saliva on it!" Ning Luo hurriedly shouted.

"Hmph, if you want some, roast another one yourself!" Nalan Yanran said firmly.

Then she held the tiger leg and began eating by herself, repeatedly saying, "Delicious," as she ate.

Before long, Nalan Yanran had finished the entire tiger leg.

Then she drank a large bowl of Ning Luo's tiger medicinal soup.

"Burp~" Nalan Yanran let out a satisfied burp, sat on the ground, and rubbed her round belly.

"Delicious!"

"Aren't you trying to lose weight? Why are you still eating so much?" Ning Luo asked as he looked at Nalan Yanran.

"Who was it again? Oh, right, Lu Xun. Didn't Lu Xun say that food and love must never be let down? Only when you're full do you have the strength to lose weight!" Nalan Yanran said as she lay down beside Ning Luo.

"What is that? It smells so good!"

Just then, Ning Luo suddenly heard a soft, ethereal voice.

Ning Luo looked up.

A woman had arrived beside them. She wore white robes and a white skirt, her three thousand strands of ink-black hair cascading like a waterfall to her slender waist. Her breathtakingly beautiful face resembled a flower fairy hidden in the mountains, untouched by worldly concerns, carrying a moving, ethereal grace. Her eyes shifted gently, holding only a calmness that seeped into one's bones, without the slightest desire to compete.

"Master!" Ning Luo cried in surprise.
