A Fine Slender Lady, a Gentleman's Pursuit

"I am Yi Feng. May I ask the names of you two young ladies?" Yi Feng asked politely.

"Bai Piaopiao."

"This is my younger sister, Maomao."

The woman in white said softly.

"Greetings, Miss Bai, Miss Piaopiao."

"Here, eat something."

Yi Feng nodded, then wrapped it in lotus leaves, tore off two pieces of meat, and handed them to Bai Piaopiao and Maomao.

"Hey, this thing is so greasy, and it looks so dirty. My young lady won't eat it," Maomao said, frowning.

"Maomao, don't be rude." Bai Piaopiao admonished softly, then looked apologetically at Yi Feng and said, "Since it was made by Young Master Yi himself, then Piaopiao thanks you, Young Master."

With that, her slender jade hands took the chicken Yi Feng offered, but she only tore off a small piece and put it into her cherry-like mouth.

Clearly, she wasn't very interested in Yi Feng's food. Tearing off a piece was merely out of politeness to Yi Feng.

But as the delicacy entered her mouth, Bai Piaopiao's calm expression subtly changed.

"Young Master, this food is truly delicious."

She couldn't help but praise.

Originally, with her cultivation, she had long since stopped eating mortal food. But the tender, flavorful chicken, with its perfect texture, had stirred her appetite, and she couldn't help but tear off another small piece.

"Ah, Miss, is it really that good?"

Maomao was somewhat incredulous.

Because she knew Bai Piaopiao better than anyone. Her young lady had never been one to indulge her appetite, so to hear such praise made her shocked.

Thus, she quickly tore off a small piece as well.

"Huh? It really is delicious!"

Maomao was a straightforward girl. The moment the deliciousness touched her tongue, her large eyes couldn't help but light up.

"You flatter me."

Yi Feng nodded calmly.

The reactions of the two women did not surprise him; they were entirely within his expectations.

Most people in this world were busy cultivating and making a living. Their food, apart from simple seasonings, lacked even salt or MSG. To taste his cuisine, which originated from a land of culinary arts, for the first time, their reaction was perfectly normal.

Yi Feng's composure made Bai Piaopiao look at him with a slight change in her gaze.

She rarely praised others. In her sect before, countless outstanding disciples would be overjoyed if she gave them even a passing glance.

Yet, this mortal was completely unfazed.

Was he pretending?

She observed him.

His expression was sincere, he was eating his own food, drinking his own wine, immersed in his own emotions...

He wasn't pretending.

There was no artifice whatsoever.

Moreover, his gaze was pure, his words were not frivolous, and he hadn't even glanced at her beauty more than necessary.

This mortal was truly interesting.

Bai Piaopiao appraised Yi Feng, her red lips curling up unconsciously, and suddenly asked, "What do you think of me, Young Master?"

"Intelligent and virtuous, gentle and kind," Yi Feng replied with a smile.

Bai Piaopiao's delicate eyebrows rose, and she said, "You know I'm not asking about that..."

Yi Feng shook his head helplessly and said, "Beautiful as a celestial being, capable of toppling nations."

Bai Piaopiao covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Do you like it, Young Master?"

As she asked this, Bai Piaopiao's pupils contracted slightly as she observed Yi Feng.

"I do."

Yi Feng nodded honestly.

Yi Feng's answer surprised Bai Piaopiao. To admit it so openly was unexpected, truly unexpected! It made her ask again, "Why?"

"A slender lady is a gentleman's pursuit."

Yi Feng took a sip of wine and stated frankly.

"Well said, 'A slender lady is a gentleman's pursuit.'" Bai Piaopiao couldn't help but exclaim, her impression of this mortal rising in her heart.

She asked again, "I just can't understand..."

"What?"

"Young Master, since you like me, why don't you look at me more?" Bai Piaopiao raised the corner of her lips and asked, "Could it be that Young Master was lying just now?"

Yi Feng shook his head helplessly.

"That's just me liking you. You are not my person."

"And there's another saying."

"What?"

"Do not look at what is improper."

"Young Master truly makes me see you in a new light. So many pearls of wisdom," Bai Piaopiao couldn't help but stand up and give a slight bow to Yi Feng. "I must say, this humble woman has learned a great deal from you today."
