"Wow, it smells so good."
Just as Jiang Feng was about to try the food he had cooked, Cheng Shaoqing came down from upstairs.
She had changed into a purple nightgown, looking quite elegant. Her damp hair hung over her shoulders, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes were a bit hazy, clearly having just taken a bath.
She looked incredibly enticing at this moment. Even Jiang Feng, who was used to seeing celestial beauties, couldn't help but stare, feeling a surge of heat within him.

"This silly girl, she's really bold, dressing like this in front of a man. It's like waving a piece of meat in front of a hungry wolf," Jiang Feng thought to himself, feeling a bit helpless towards Cheng Shaoqing's naive and sweet demeanor.
Since she could face him so openly, Jiang Feng decided not to think any impure thoughts and chose to see her with a clear mind.
"You're just in time. Sit down and eat with me. Try my cooking," Jiang Feng quickly invited.
"Let me see, what delicious food do we have here?" Cheng Shaoqing walked over confidently, sat opposite Jiang Feng, and her eyes lit up when she saw the dishes.
"Did you make this braised pork?" Cheng Shaoqing pointed at a large plate of braised pork, which looked and smelled delicious.
"Yes, try it," Jiang Feng handed her a pair of chopsticks.
Cheng Shaoqing didn't hesitate, picking up a piece of meat and putting it in her mouth. She chewed lightly; it was tender and flavorful, not greasy, slightly sweet, and filled with the aroma of various spices.
"Wow, it's so delicious," Cheng Shaoqing exclaimed, swallowing the whole piece in one bite, then quickly picking up another, eating without any regard for her ladylike image.
"Mm, it's so good.
This is the best braised pork I've ever had.
Wow, I want more."
Cheng Shaoqing kept eating piece after piece, with sauce even left at the corners of her mouth.
"Hehe, if you like it, eat more. Don't rush, no one is going to take it from you," Jiang Feng laughed.
"Okay, I won't be polite then," Cheng Shaoqing said, her mouth full.
Jiang Feng thought to himself, you were never polite to begin with.
Cheng Shaoqing swallowed and looked at Jiang Feng enviously.
"Here, let me get you a bowl of rice. It tastes even better with rice," Jiang Feng pushed his untouched bowl of rice towards Cheng Shaoqing.
Cheng Shaoqing took it and started eating quickly, almost choking.
*Cough, cough!* Cheng Shaoqing coughed a few times.
Jiang Feng quickly stood up, "Slow down, slow down, I'll get you some water."
"No need, I'm done," Cheng Shaoqing suddenly put down her chopsticks.
Jiang Feng was puzzled, "Why did you stop eating?"
"Oh, I can't eat anymore. I'm on a diet. I almost lost control. If I eat too much, all my efforts over the past few days will be wasted," Cheng Shaoqing said seriously.
"..." Jiang Feng was speechless.
Come on, dieting? Your figure is already perfect. If you lose more weight, you'll be too thin, and that won't be attractive. Plus, it might even be uncomfortable.
"Are you sure you don't want more? This braised pork is so good. If you don't eat it now, you might not get another chance," Jiang Feng said.
"No, I won't eat anymore," Cheng Shaoqing shook her head firmly.
"Then I'll eat it," Jiang Feng sat back down and started eating.
As he ate, he kept praising himself, "Mm, delicious. My cooking skills have really improved."
*Gulp!*
Cheng Shaoqing swallowed, looking at Jiang Feng enviously.
Jiang Feng saw her expression and secretly laughed, knowing she really wanted to eat more, so he deliberately tempted her.
"If you want to eat, just have another piece. Otherwise, I'll finish it all," Jiang Feng said.
Cheng Shaoqing couldn't resist anymore. She grabbed her chopsticks, "Alright, I'll have one more piece, just one last piece."
"Hehe," Jiang Feng laughed.
Cheng Shaoqing's face turned red, knowing she had fallen into Jiang Feng's trap. But with delicious food in front of her, nothing else mattered. She decided to eat first and worry later.

Despite her repeated promises, Cheng Shaoqing kept breaking them, and the two of them ended up finishing the entire plate of braised pork and a lot of rice.
Both of them had full, round bellies and kept burping.
"Ah, that was so good. I'm so full," Cheng Shaoqing said, still savoring the taste.
"If I have time, I'll cook for you again. Consider it the rent for staying here," Jiang Feng suggested.
"Alright, it's a deal," Cheng Shaoqing agreed without hesitation.
She didn't care about the rent; as long as she could eat braised pork, she was happy.
"Hehe!"
The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
The atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious, and the bright moon outside playfully shone in.
***
Late at night!
Jiang Feng returned to his room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and fell into deep thought.
"Living another life, I must find the best cultivation technique and the most powerful martial skills to train.
Let me think carefully. Over the past five hundred years, I've mastered countless cultivation techniques and martial skills, so many that I can hardly remember them all.
But I've found that the spiritual energy on Earth is too thin, not enough to support high-level cultivation techniques."
Even so, it was not something ordinary people could resist.
"Wait, I remember there's a super cultivation technique that doesn't require much spiritual energy.
It seems to be called the Nine Heavens Tyrant Body Technique.
Let me think about the specific method."
Jiang Feng began searching his mind for the Nine Heavens Tyrant Body Technique and quickly found the specific method.
"The Nine Heavens Tyrant Body Technique is divided into nine levels. Each level has immense power. If practiced to perfection, it can make one invincible with an indestructible body.
Alright, I'll practice the Nine Heavens Tyrant Body Technique.
Let's give it a try."
Jiang Feng focused his mind, began absorbing the thin spiritual energy in the air.
Strands of spiritual energy were drawn in, compressed, and finally directed into Jiang Feng's body, gathering in his dantian, forming a particle of spiritual energy.
The long journey of cultivation would start from this single particle of spiritual energy.
"It seems I need to exercise more regularly to strengthen my body.
A hundred-story building starts from the ground up. From now on, the foundation is solid."
As he grew stronger, his cultivation would increase, and his power would become greater.
***
Just like that, until the first light of dawn appeared, Jiang Feng finally opened his eyes.
"Phew! The spiritual energy on Earth is really thin. After a whole night, I only gathered a tiny bit of True Qi. I don't know when I'll reach the first level.
But fortunately, the Nine Heavens Tyrant Body Technique requires not only spiritual energy but also physical training. Both are indispensable."
According to what Jiang Feng knew, cultivators or martial artists in the lower realms had their own levels of cultivation, which were Foundation Establishment, Aperture Opening, Inedia, Golden Elixir, Elemental Infant, Out-of-Body, Body Fusion, Divine Transformation, and Tribulation Crossing.
Jiang Feng's primary task now was to successfully establish his foundation. To do that, he had to first master the first level of the Nine Heavens Tyrant Body Technique.
But this was not something that could be rushed. It required steady progress, step by step.
Jiang Feng looked out the window and said, "They say the morning is the best time of the day. It's a good time to find another martial skill to practice."
Jiang Feng searched his mind for a long time and finally decided to practice a martial skill called Azure Dragon Lion Tiger Strength.
Jiang Feng chose this martial skill because it included three very powerful moves: the Divine Dragon Phantom Step, the Flaming Lion Palm, and the Tiger Roar Overlord Punch.
Learning one skill would bring three benefits.
Moreover, when he fought Zhu Bajie in class yesterday, he had used two of these moves: the Divine Dragon Phantom Step and the Tiger Roar Overlord Punch.
Although he hadn't started formal training, he could use their forms but not their essence.
Even so, it was not something ordinary people could resist.
If he formally trained and reached a minor achievement, he would be even more powerful.
Someone like Zhu Bajie could have his bones shattered with just one Tiger Roar Overlord Punch.
