Cloudy Days and Sunny Days

As the founders of the "Come Again" barbecue restaurant, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou naturally possess excellent culinary skills.

This was already evident back in Yanjiang County, and now that Lu Yang has mastered the Samadhi True Fire, his strength has reached a new level.

During the Foundation Establishment Realm, Lu Yang was confident that he had no rivals when it came to grilling skills.

Lu Yang shook the meat skewers, the cumin and chili powder rolling between them. When the fire ignited them, the flavors were fully released, and even Qin Yanyan, who preferred light flavors, couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"Come on, it's done baking!"

Lu Yang placed two large handfuls of meat skewers into the grill pan with a loud thud, which sounded quite substantial.

Meng Jingzhou wasn't idle either; he kept changing the roasted potato slices, roasted chives, and roasted tofu in his hands, and the tempting aromas he emitted were in no way inferior to Lu Yang's.

"Delicious!" Li's parents exclaimed after eating two skewers of meat. As expected of a good student, not only is his cultivation high, but his cooking skills are also excellent. Li Haoran is completely incomparable to him.

"I'll have one too!" Li Haoran had long heard of the legendary grilled skewers of Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Meng, but had never had the chance to try them.

These were once so delicious that they brought down the entire Immortal Cult.

"Delicious!" Li Haoran's eyes lit up; this was the best grilled skewers he had ever eaten.

Qin Yanyan and Su Yiren ate cautiously in small bites, but gradually, as the atmosphere became more lively, they became less reserved.

Everyone was full and satisfied, their faces beaming with contentment. Seeing everyone enjoying themselves so much, the Immortal Fairy was practically drooling with envy.

She is in a spirit state, has no sense of taste, and cannot eat.

"Lu Yang, let me use your body, and I'll eat two skewers too," the Immortal Fairy suggested to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang didn't mind at all and generously handed over control of his body to the fairy.

The Immortal Fairy happily took over Lu Yang's body and ate heartily without any restraint.

"Haha, Senior Brother Lu, you've really let loose!" Li Haoran laughed. Senior Brother Lu had been eating quite elegantly before, but just now he seemed like a completely different person, eating skewers and drinking bamboo juice with gusto. There are many red bamboo forests in the mountains near Luofeng County, and the bamboo juice is clear, sweet, and very delicious. Many tourists who come here will try this delicacy.

Lu Yang sighed. "She's supposed to be a fairy, can't she at least have some self-respect?"

"Ying Tianxian and the others also advised me to speak as little as possible in front of outsiders. They also said that the four of them had worked hard to improve the outside world's impression of immortals, and I shouldn't mess it up."

"But there are no outsiders here." The Immortal Fairy didn't treat Lu Yang as an outsider.

"But the problem is you're using my body!" Lu Yang retorted angrily.

"Oh dear, why are we dividing what's yours and what's mine?" The Immortal Fairy was very generous. "When I find my inheritance, I'll give you half."

Lu Yang remembered that when he first met the Immortal Fairy, she had said that she had buried a treasure trove of immortal treasures in the North Star.

Based on Lu Yang's understanding of the Immortal Fairy, there's probably nothing good inside.

"If all else fails, I'll teach you a few culinary skills at the immortal level." The Immortal Fairy regarded the second-in-command of the Immortal lineage as her successor.

Lu Yang rolled his eyes and didn't say anything.

Putting aside this little incident known only to the two of them, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

Mr. and Mrs. Li arranged rooms for Lu Yang and the other guests.

After washing up, Lu Yang took out a pillow about half his height from his identity jade pendant. This was Lu Yang 'Lu Yang cuddly pillow; he liked to hug something while sleeping.

Lu Yang has over ten years of sleeping experience and can sleep well anywhere; he's never picky about where he sleeps.

The next morning, Lu Yang woke up to find the pillow he had kicked to his feet, looking rather pitiful.

"This little girl named Su Yiren is very thoughtful," the Immortal Fairy suddenly remarked.

"What's the meaning?"

"While you were sleeping, she set up a formation in the courtyard. It's useless to you, but it will allow Li Haoran's parents to cultivate unconsciously, infusing them with spiritual energy and increasing their cultivation level. However, this will take a long time, and it's not apparent now. Li Haoran's parents won't even notice it."

Lu Yang stepped out of the room, stretched, and noticed the pleasant, overcast weather.

Lu Yang prefers cloudy days to sunny days.

He saw Li Haoran practicing martial arts and meditating in the courtyard.

"Junior Brother Li is so diligent even when he gets home?" Lu Yang was surprised. He thought he got up early enough, but he didn't expect Li Haoran to get up even earlier than him and be cultivating.

I don't remember him being this diligent when he was at the Ask Dao Sect.

Li Haoran said seriously, transmitting his voice to Lu Yang: "Senior Brother Lu, you don't know this, but even though my parents were happy to welcome me home yesterday, based on my experience, once they've had a good night's sleep and the next day is over, they'll scold me, saying that all I do at home is eat and sleep, and that I'm living a very decadent life."

"Instead of letting them scold me, I'd rather take action first and pretend to be very diligent. Anyway, it's just a little bit in the morning; I can go out and play during the day, and they can't stop me."

Lu Yang suddenly realized that there was such a thing as knowledge involved.

Li Haoran didn't say was that if Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou didn't come, his parents could still spoil him for a couple more days, but once Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou arrived, the time they could spoil him would be greatly shortened!

"Haoran, you're up so early?" Li's mother was delighted to see Li Haoran cultivating so early in the morning, with Lu Yang standing beside him.

It must be that Lu Yang was cultivating with Li Haoran.

Li Haoran: "..."

He really wanted to say, "Mom, my fifth-place ranking in the Ask Dao Sect is really quite impressive."

This is true. With Li Haoran's talent, he would be the undisputed number one in his class, whether in a first-class or a top-tier sect. Even in the earlier years of the Ask Dao Sect, he would rank among the top three.

Unfortunately, there are too many monsters and demons this year.

While eating breakfast, Su Yiren ate quietly without mentioning the array she had set up in the courtyard the night before, seemingly not wanting anyone to know about it.

If it weren't for the Immortal Fairy, Lu Yang wouldn't have known either.

"Come on, I'll take you around the county!" Li Haoran called to Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou. After thinking for a moment, he also called Qin Yanyan and Su Yiren.

"I only invited you because you're guests, so don't overthink it," Li Haoran said to Su Yiren.

Despite this, Su Yiren still smiled happily.

As the group prepared to leave, the already gloomy weather grew even darker, the clouds thickened, and the faint sound of thunder could be heard.

"It's going to rain heavily." Li Haoran looked up at the sky, somewhat disappointed. Luofeng County was known for its rain, and judging by the intensity of the overcast sky, a downpour was inevitable. "Looks like I can't go today."

Upon hearing this, Su Yiren struck the sky with her palm, and the dark clouds that had been pressing down on the city instantly dissipated, replaced by a clear sky.

Su Yiren smiled gently, as if nothing had happened. "The weather's sunny now, let's go out."

Li Haoran: "..."

The second update might be a little later.
