After traveling for the better part of a day, the group finally arrived at the border between the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Star Luo Empire.
On a flat piece of land, everyone set up a simple, temporary resting point.
Soon, wisps of smoke began to rise. Huo Yuhao took out the dried fish and mushrooms he usually prepared. He found a clean water source nearby, intending to make a mushroom and fish soup for Su Qingfeng.
Old Man Zhuang then took out various colored food blocks from his soul tool. He handed them out to everyone, saying lightly, "Those who are hungry can eat these. Although the taste is so-so, these are essential for the inner court disciples when they're out and about. They're made with over ten kinds of medicinal herbs and several highly nutritious ingredients, compressed and refined. They're rich in nutrients and can help you quickly recover your physical strength and are good for your body."
Su Qingfeng took one. The mask only covered the upper half of his face, so it didn't affect his eating. The area below his nose was exposed, making him seem even more refined, and making others even more curious about the area covered by the mask.
Seeing Su Qingfeng take a bite of the compressed food, the others also started eating.
The inner court disciples were already used to this compressed, nutritious food, but the seven from the outer court all wore strange expressions.
The strange, blocky food had a peculiar taste. Upon entering the mouth, it reacted with saliva, creating a mixture of multiple medicinal flavors that were unappetizing and difficult to swallow.
Even Su Qingfeng frowned, but out in the wilderness, having something to eat was already good enough.
"Xiaotao jie, please turn up the heat for me. The mushroom fish soup will be ready soon."
Over here, Huo Yuhao requested help from Ma Xiaotao.
Ma Xiaotao, knowing that Huo Yuhao's cooking was delicious, nodded. A ball of Evil Fire was injected into the fire. In a few seconds, the pot became red-hot, and the soup inside began to boil.
After a while, Huo Yuhao judged that the mushroom fish soup was almost ready. He immediately took out a pristine white bowl, filled it halfway, and then scooped the best fish and mushrooms from the pot into the bowl, revealing a happy smile.
Just as he was about to bring it to Su Qingfeng, Ma Xiaotao hurriedly asked, "Huo Yuhao, who are you going to give this bowl of soup to?"
"Of course, it's for Qingfeng ge. I said at the academy that as long as Qingfeng ge needed it, I would be willing to cook for him for the rest of my life, hehe." Huo Yuhao said.
Ma Xiaotao's face was covered in black lines. She took the fish soup from Huo Yuhao. "You're a boy, why do you always want to cook all day? It's so unpromising. I'll take the soup to him."
Huo Yuhao mumbled somewhat aggrievedly, "It's not for others. Cooking for Qingfeng-ge for the rest of my life isn't unpromising at all."
After saying that, Huo Yuhao had no choice but to serve the remaining fish soup to others for them to taste.
Ma Xiaotao then brought the fish soup to Su Qingfeng's side, revealing a rare smile. "Little Martial Uncle, this is the soup Huo Yuhao made. Would you like to try some?"
"Thank you."
Su Qingfeng's lips curved into a charming smile. He took the fish soup and drank a few mouthfuls, warming his stomach.
At this time, Dai Yutheng had already gone ahead to the front camp to inquire about the situation. That was the Star Luo army stationed outside the Mingdou Mountain Range. As the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke, he held a certain position in the Star Luo army.
One reason was to find out the current situation of the Mingdou Mountain Range, and the other was to have the Star Luo army send a group of people to cooperate with their actions.
Xiao Xiao drank a few mouthfuls of fish soup. Although she thought it tasted much better than the compressed nutritional food, a matter weighed on her heart, and she couldn't eat much.
Seeing everyone else eating, she gathered her courage and went to Su Qingfeng. "Special-selected student... no, Saint Son, can I speak to you alone for a moment?"
"What do you want to say? Can't you say it here?"
Ma Xiaotao was nearby and immediately became jealous when she heard about a private conversation.
"I... I'm sorry, because I wanted to say a few things that aren't so easy to say publicly, so..."
Facing Ma Xiaotao's imposing aura, Xiao Xiao became flustered, even stammering.
"Alright, Sister Xiaotao, don't scare her."
Su Qingfeng spoke, "What's on your mind?"
Perhaps some young girls have worries they can't share in front of others. They went to a corner, and Su Qingfeng looked at Xiao Xiao calmly.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Xiao's petite body bowed directly to him. "I'm sorry. I was impulsive before in the outer court. I didn't know you were the Holy Son. The reason you wear a mask is because you're very... good-looking! Not because you're ashamed. I'm sorry!"
Xiao Xiao bent over, her head barely reaching Su Qingfeng's thighs, facing the area five inches below his abdomen.
Su Qingfeng waved his hand, his expression calm. "I thought something was up. So it's like this. Don't worry about it. I've never cared about these things. Besides, it's true that I'm not presentable, right? Being so handsome that you're not presentable is also not presentable, isn't it?"
"Ah? Uh... yes!"
Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment. Looking at Su Qingfeng's indifferent demeanor, the knot in her heart untied.
It turned out she was being petty. Indeed, the Holy Son was so good-looking, like a celestial being. How could he be so narrow-minded?
"If there's nothing else, let's go back," Su Qingfeng continued.
Xiao Xiao grabbed Su Qingfeng's hand, her small face turning red. "Wait... wait a moment."
"What is it?" Su Qingfeng turned around.
"Um, I want to play the flute for you…"
Xiao Xiao fidgeted with her fingers, looking a little shy, like a young girl feeling awkward.
"Huh? Isn't this a bit much? We're still so young, and we're already at this stage? This isn't right, is it?"
Su Qingfeng's face flushed red. Play the flute for me? What kind of suggestive talk was this?
"What does age have to do with it? I've watched my mother play the flute for my father since I was a child. I've been working hard to learn to play the flute since I was six. Mom never said there were age restrictions on playing the flute."
The innocent Xiao Xiao widened her eyes.
The next moment, her aura changed, and a jade-green flute appeared in her hand. This jade flute was long, with lively phoenix carvings on it.
The wind blew through her skirt, and Xiao Xiao, holding the flute, possessed an ethereal beauty, although this kind of etherealness couldn't compare to Su Qingfeng's.
Seeing Xiao Xiao reveal her Martial Soul, the Nine Phoenix Auspicious Flute, Su Qingfeng immediately understood. He thought to himself, So she meant playing this flute, scared me to death…
He almost thought their Xiao family was that open-minded and explosive, letting their daughter watch his wife give him a blowjob…
Sorry, I, Su Qingfeng, misunderstood!
"Everyone's eating, and if they have music to listen to, their appetite might improve."
Su Qingfeng chuckled.
Xiao Xiao shook her head, "No, no, no. This song is only for you to hear!"
"Huh?"
Su Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, vaguely understanding. This little girl, wasn't she going to serenade him with her flute to show her affection?
"Dance of the Nine Phoenixes, Melody Seeking the Dragon~"
Xiao Xiao stood on a large rock, the wind gently blowing her clothes. She put the Nine Phoenix Auspicious Flute to her lips, and the beautiful flute music began to spread.
Mom said that this Nine Phoenix Seeking Dragon Melody could only be played for one person in a lifetime.
If you meet a man you'll never forget, a man you're sure to love for life, you must seize any opportunity to play it for him.
Otherwise, the nine phoenixes will lament, not only causing mental damage to the Martial Soul's owner, but the Nine Phoenix Aus
