One kun-year later.
The villa district of Shrek City.
Wisps of white mist rose from a spread of spirit dishes on a broad, solid-wood round table. Light spilled from the Soul Guidance Lamps, bringing out the vivid colors of the food.
Roasted beast legs, thousand-year spirit fowl soup, sweet, fresh seafood, spirit vegetables, and pastries filled the tabletop, their fragrance slowly spreading through the room.
Wu Siduo wore her reddish-brown hair in a high ponytail. Her figure was full, her years of cultivation having honed a firm, well-proportioned physique, and her features were striking.
With a turn of her wrist, she picked up a large piece of roasted beast leg with her chopsticks and brought it straight toward Tang Qingye's bowl.
"The meat is cooked just right. Have some more."
Leng Nu Jiao was tall and slender-waisted, with a lush, shapely figure. Her simple, elegant clothes lent her a poised, gracious air.
Unwilling to fall behind, she thrust her bamboo chopsticks across first, pushing the tender spirit fish in front of Tang Qingye.
"Beast meat is too heating. Spirit fish is more nourishing and better suited to you."
Though the two were six years apart in age, their curves were almost no different. As they raised their arms, their shoulders lifted with them, and their chopsticks competed above the plates, neither willing to yield an inch.
"Have mine, Young Master."
"Have mine, Little Ye!"
Gu Yuena wore a plain white dress, her long black hair falling softly over her shoulders. Her skin was luminous and fair, her beauty unearthly.
Holding a piece of honey-preserved spirit fruit between her fingertips, she stayed out of the contest. She simply watched Tang Qingye quietly, a trace of curiosity rising in her eyes as she waited to see how he would handle the situation
