Whether Golden Spirit Mother or Mother Wu Dang, they had long since abstained from food for tens of thousands of years.
But the moment the yellow clay around the beggar's chicken was smashed open, the gluttony in their hearts was stirred once more.
Golden Spirit Mother immediately sent a Secret Language Transmission to Mother Wu Dang. "Junior Sister Wu Dang, what do we do? It smells so good, I can't take it anymore."
"Same here. How about we just snatch it?"
Golden Spirit Mother nodded at Mother Wu Dang. The two Taiyi Golden Immortals instantly forgot all about composure.
Before Hong Ze could react, Mother Wu Dang and Golden Spirit Mother had already torn off the two chicken legs.
"Damn, have these two girls gone crazy?"
In the instant Hong Ze stood there dumbfounded, Mother Wu Dang and Golden Spirit Mother had already stuffed the chicken legs into their mouths.
It would have been one thing if they had not eaten them, but after taking a bite, they could not help but be utterly shocked.
"This is Innate Spiritual Energy. How could these chicken legs contain Innate Spiritual Energy?"
"It's not just Innate Spiritual Energy. I can also sense a trace of Great Dao Essence within them."
"Don't make a sound. Let's pretend we don't know. Today, we must fleece Eldest Senior Brother properly."
While Golden Spirit Mother and Mother Wu Dang conversed inwardly, they looked toward the chicken in Hong Ze's hand.
This made Hong Ze somewhat wary, and he immediately hid the chicken behind his back.
"I say, Junior Sisters, you are both Taiyi Golden Immortals. Do you really need to fight your Eldest Senior Brother for chicken?"
Golden Spirit Mother smiled at Hong Ze. "Eldest Senior Brother, why be so stingy? Junior Sister Wu Dang and I are guests here. Shouldn't you prepare some wine and dishes to entertain us?"
After saying that, Golden Spirit Mother walked over to the wine jar and lifted it without hesitation.
As she casually knocked away the clay seal, Mother Wu Dang took three wine bowls from the side.
Mother Wu Dang placed the three bowls on the table and smiled brightly at Hong Ze.
"Senior Brother, one chicken is not enough for the three of us. Shouldn't Eldest Senior Brother make a few more dishes to go with the wine?"
At this point, Hong Ze knew that unless he prepared a full table of food and wine, he would not be able to send these two little girls away.
Left with no choice, he took out the half chicken in his hand and placed it on the table before them.
"You two Junior Sisters are right. Then today, Eldest Senior Brother will treat you properly."
With that, he turned and headed toward his little kitchen, making Golden Spirit Mother and Mother Wu Dang smile.
"Junior Sister Wu Dang, while Eldest Senior Brother is gone, let's hurry and see whether there is any calligraphy and painting around."
Mother Wu Dang nodded and began searching through Hong Ze's Thatched Cottage again.
Unfortunately, after searching for quite a while, she failed to find even half a piece of calligraphy and painting, which left Mother Wu Dang somewhat dejected.
Suddenly, Mother Wu Dang noticed what seemed to be a book on the table before her.
Without another word, she picked it up and opened it to read.
After staring at it for a long time, Mother Wu Dang could not recognize a single character. After all, what Hong Ze had written was not Demon Script.
Seeing the troubled expression on Mother Wu Dang's face, Golden Spirit Mother also leaned closer to look.
However, just like Mother Wu Dang, she could not understand a single word in the book.
Still, they decided to take it with them first, because they could sense powerful Dao essence between the lines of the book.
Just as Golden Spirit Mother tucked the book into her robes, Hong Ze emerged from the kitchen carrying several small dishes.
"Don't laugh at Eldest Senior Brother. I don't have any Heaven-and-Earth spiritual roots here. There are only a few vegetables I grew myself, so make do with them."
As he spoke, he placed the dishes on the table: shredded potato salad, smashed cucumber, and a plate of sugar-mixed tomatoes.
When Golden Spirit Mother saw the three dishes before her, a golden gleam rose in her eyes again.
"Eldest Senior Brother is being modestly boastful. The Innate Spiritual Energy contained in these dishes is probably beyond even the finest Innate spiritual fruits."
"Senior Sister Jin Ling, watch your expression. We absolutely cannot let Eldest Senior Brother notice anything. Otherwise, we may not get to eat this again in the future."
Golden Spirit Mother nodded to Mother Wu Dang, then sat directly beside the table. At the same time, she did not forget to fill a bowl of wine for Hong Ze.
"Eldest Senior Brother, you and I have been fellow disciples for tens of thousands of years, yet we have never had the chance to drink and talk together. Today, Junior Sister will borrow Eldest Senior Brother's wine to offer you a toast."
With that, she raised the wine bowl before her and drained it in one gulp.
A powerful and abundant surge of Innate Spiritual Energy instantly flooded every major meridian throughout Golden Spirit Mother's body.
She had nearly broken through directly to the Peak Stage Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.
Golden Spirit Mother was overjoyed and hurriedly filled another bowl for herself.
Just like that, before they had even taken a bite of food, the three of them had completely finished an entire jar of wine.
Hong Ze could not help but grumble inwardly, These two Junior Sisters drink so boldly. Could they be tough girls from the northeast?
He immediately said to Golden Spirit Mother and Mother Wu Dang, "Junior Sisters, you did not really come here today just to drink, did you?
"If there is anything you need Eldest Senior Brother's help with, just say it. It's only that Eldest Senior Brother's cultivation is low, so I cannot guarantee I can help you."
Golden Spirit Mother set down her wine bowl and asked Hong Ze directly.
"Eldest Senior Brother, I have been trapped at the Late Stage Taiyi Golden Immortal for ten thousand years. Does Eldest Senior Brother have any method to help Junior Sister break through?"
Hearing Golden Spirit Mother's question, Hong Ze shook his head helplessly.
"It is not that Eldest Senior Brother is withholding anything. I truly do not know how to help Junior Sister Jin Ling. Otherwise, Eldest Senior Brother would not still be a Heavenly Immortal even now."
Mother Wu Dang hurriedly spoke from the side. "Eldest Senior Brother, can cultivation truly represent everything?
"Do you think it is possible for someone to have very low cultivation, yet actually possess the power to destroy heaven and earth?"
Hong Ze frowned and said to Mother Wu Dang, "Cultivation represents strength.
"Our master and the two martial uncles are mighty Saints, which is why they possess the power to destroy heaven and earth.
"If Great God Pan Gu had not possessed the realm of a Great Dao Saint back then, how could he have opened heaven and earth and created the primordial world?
"So, Junior Sister Wu Dang, you must not take shortcuts in pursuit of strength. If things go wrong, you could fall into the demonic path and be doomed beyond redemption."
Mother Wu Dang nodded after hearing this, then immediately sent a Secret Language Transmission to Golden Spirit Mother.
"Senior Sister Jin Ling, it seems Eldest Senior Brother has made up his mind not to reveal his true abilities. Then today, let's make him suffer a real loss."
Golden Spirit Mother nodded. "Junior Sister Wu Dang is right. Let's see how long Eldest Senior Brother can keep pretending."
She then stood up directly and said to Hong Ze.
"Eldest Senior Brother's words just now gave Jin Ling some insight. I need to return and enter seclusion to contemplate them, so I will not disturb Eldest Senior Brother any longer.
"However, Jin Ling truly cannot bear to part with the fine wine and delicacies Eldest Senior Brother made, so I will take them with me. Please do not laugh at Jin Ling for being greedy."
After saying that, without caring whether Hong Ze agreed, she waved her hand at the food and wine before her and directly stored them in her Cosmos Sack.
Then, amid Hong Ze's shock, she took her leave from Hong Ze's Thatched Cottage.
"Damn, they're even taking leftovers to go?" Hong Ze was completely stunned by these two Junior Sisters.
