Su Nan, after a brief moment of speechlessness, looked at the Orleans roast chicken in Li Zhoujun's hand. Her big eyes sparkled as she exclaimed, "Wow! Master, it smells so good!"

Li Zhoujun chuckled, "Of course, when your master makes a move, you know it's going to be good. This is a chicken at the Foundation Establishment stage. Just one drumstick is enough for you; eating too much isn't good for your body."

After saying that, Li Zhoujun tore off a drumstick for Su Nan and then went to sit at the table, starting to eat.

As the Orleans roast chicken entered his mouth, a long-lost flavor filled Li Zhoujun's taste buds. He remembered the last time he had eaten Orleans roast chicken was back on Earth, before he transmigrated here.

Meanwhile, Su Nan looked at the drumstick in her hand and then at the half-eaten chicken in Li Zhoujun's hand, she then took a bite of the drumstick, and her face froze in surprise.

It was delicious!

Not only that, she could clearly feel a gentle energy entering her limbs and bones as she ate, as if she was soaking in a hot spring.

A chicken at the Foundation Establishment stage must be a chicken demon, right?

Su Nan had read about the cultivation levels of practitioners and demons in a book before. It was said that demons at the Foundation Establishment stage could already speak human language and were sometimes worshipped as mountain gods in certain places.

Yet here her master was, roasting a Foundation Establishment stage chicken demon like an ordinary chicken. This alone showed that her master was undoubtedly a powerful figure!

Of course, what Su Nan didn't know was that the chicken in her hand was hunted by Li Zhoujun when he was being sneaky.

But as Su Nan continued eating the drumstick, two streams of blood unknowingly flowed from her nose, and then she fainted.

Li Zhoujun, who was enjoying his meal, was stunned when he saw this scene. "Goodness, even one drumstick is too much for her. Next time, I'll just let this girl eat the chicken butt."

Despite his words, Li Zhoujun still carried Su Nan into a room to let her rest.

The next morning.

Su Nan slowly opened her eyes, waking up in a room in the Cloud Dwelling Palace.

"Ah, it smells so good!"

Still a bit groggy, Su Nan's eyes widened as she smelled a fragrance. She quickly got out of bed and left the room.

As soon as she stepped out, she followed the scent to the kitchen.

At that moment, Li Zhoujun was sitting by the firewood, focused on keeping the fire going.

Seeing Li Zhoujun's face illuminated by the orange flames, Su Nan felt a warmth in her heart.

Her master, a powerful figure of the current era, must have long reached the stage of Inedia, yet he was willing to lower himself to cook for his newly accepted disciple. How could she not be moved?

At the same time, Su Nan felt fortunate for having resolutely chosen Li Zhoujun as her master. Otherwise, where would she find such a good master?

"Oh, little girl, you're awake?"

Li Zhoujun smiled as he saw Su Nan suddenly appear. "That drumstick was too much for you yesterday. After thinking it over all night, I've decided that next time we have chicken, I'll have to reluctantly save you a chicken butt."

Su Nan: "..."

"Thank you, Master," Su Nan said sincerely after a moment of speechlessness.

She could feel that her master genuinely cared for her.

Li Zhoujun was taken aback. "Uh, little girl, do you really like eating chicken butt that much?"

Su Nan: "..."

"Master, I finally understand why you're so good-looking but don't have a mistress." Su Nan grinned.

Li Zhoujun was puzzled. "Why?"

"Because, Master, you have a mouth." Su Nan said earnestly.

Li Zhoujun raised an eyebrow. "Don't you have a mouth too? Or do you have two?"

Su Nan: "..."

Su Nan swore she had never been so speechless in her life.

She then shifted her gaze to the pot on the stove and changed the subject. "Master, what are you cooking? It smells so good."

"I was worried you'd have to cook when you woke up, so I made a pot of vegetable and lean meat porridge in advance," Li Zhoujun said with a smile.

Su Nan: "..."

Ahhh!

I'm going crazy!

Is my cooking really that bad?!

Feeling aggrieved, Su Nan decided she would finish the entire pot of porridge later, leaving nothing for her master!

After a while, the porridge was ready.

Su Nan took a bowl and filled it to the brim with porridge.

But halfway through eating, Su Nan's nose started bleeding again. She looked at Li Zhoujun, her head spinning. "Master, is this lean meat the leftover chicken from yesterday?"

Li Zhoujun nodded. "Yes, we can't waste food."

"Second round..."

Su Nan's mouth twitched, and then she fainted again, collapsing onto the table.

Li Zhoujun watched this scene, shaking his head with a sigh. "Goodness, this girl is destined to eat chicken butt!"

After finishing the porridge himself, he once again carried Su Nan back to her room.

***

It wasn't until the afternoon that Su Nan woke up.

The first thing Su Nan did when she opened her eyes was set a small goal for herself: to learn how to cook.

She had no choice; her master's love was too overwhelming. If she fainted every time she ate, wouldn't she become the first person in the Dao Heaven Sect to be over-nourished to death?

How embarrassing would that be!

Creak.

The door to the room opened.

Li Zhoujun walked in, smiling at the now-awake Su Nan. "You've slept the whole day, little girl. Are you hungry? If you are, I'll cook for you."

"No, Master, I'm not hungry at all!" Su Nan's expression changed immediately upon hearing this.

Although her master's cooking was delicious, fainting every time she ate was too much to handle!

"That's a pity. I caught a rabbit today and was planning to make braised rabbit meat," Li Zhoujun said regretfully.

"Does the rabbit have cultivation?" Su Nan couldn't help but swallow at the thought of her master's cooking.

"Don't worry, it's only at the ninth level of Qi Refining," Li Zhoujun laughed. "I'll control the portion this time, and you definitely won't faint."

"Master, make it extra spicy!" Su Nan said, wiping the drool from her mouth.

"No problem," Li Zhoujun replied with a smile.

***

An hour later.

After eating a few bites of rabbit meat, Su Nan slept until the next morning.

The next morning, when Su Nan woke up, the first thing she did was rush to the kitchen, where she saw Li Zhoujun about to cook porridge.

Her expression changed dramatically. "Master, put down the rice, let me do it!"

"Uh, okay..."

Li Zhoujun was momentarily stunned but agreed to let Su Nan take over.

For some reason, Su Nan's first attempt at making porridge turned out surprisingly well.

After tasting a small bite, she found it quite good, and tears welled up in her eyes. Her survival instincts were kicking in!

Ten minutes later.

After finishing the porridge, Li Zhoujun put down his bowl and chopsticks, smiling at Su Nan. "The porridge tastes good, you've improved."

"Sniff, it's all thanks to your teaching, Master," Su Nan said, genuinely wanting to cry. Making this pot of porridge wasn't easy; she had done it step by step, very carefully.

Li Zhoujun chuckled at her words. "Alright, stop flattering me. I was planning to teach you the cultivation method yesterday, but you slept the whole day. Come to the Cloud Dwelling Hall later, and I'll teach you the cultivation method today."

"Thank you, Master!"

Hearing that her master was finally going to teach her cultivation, Su Nan's previously gloomy face lit up with excitement.
