Chapter 42: Heaven Is Far Too Partial!

“Was it really you who cooked all this?” Luo Xia was stunned.

How could anyone be so extraordinary? In modern times, he’d be the ultimate catch—wealthy, handsome, and even a master in the kitchen. A man who could cook—how rare!

“Who else in this world could create such flavors but me?” Situ Tengyi replied with unabashed pride. Besides, it was only for her sake that he’d stepped into the kitchen.

Luo Xia was speechless.

Was it really necessary to be so overwhelming?

“Luo Luo, look at me. I’m an eighth-level powerhouse, strikingly handsome, I can cook, and most importantly, I treat you well. A man like me is one in a million—even if you searched high and low, you wouldn’t find another. Have you considered marrying me right away?”

“Pfft—” Luo Xia choked on her food, unable to help herself. Was that all this man ever thought about?

Just then, the little creature curled up in her arms could no longer resist the lure of the food. It wriggled free, clambered onto the table, and began to eat ravenously. Meanwhile, Xiao Ying clamored inside its space, so Situ Tengyi had no choice but to let it out as well. He even released his own spirit beast—a multicolored qilin. He was in a fine mood today, and so his spirit pets enjoyed the bounty.

Luo Xia’s mind had barely recovered when she suddenly found Xiao Ying and a resplendent qilin tussling for food before her eyes. Her pupils widened in disbelief.

With these creatures crowding in, the private room instantly became cramped.

“Stunned?” Situ Tengyi slid a dozen dishes over to her, leaving the remaining food for the three spirit beasts to share.

“They—” Luo Xia found herself at a loss for words.

“That’s the multicolored qilin, my spirit beast. It’s at the peak of eighth level, which is equivalent to the peak of human level ten,” Situ Tengyi explained with a smile.

How unfair! Heaven truly favored him too much.

“But since I’m your husband, all this belongs to you as well. So, my dear, don’t look at me with those eyes full of envy and longing.”

Luo Xia was speechless again.

She wanted to be strong too! She wanted to summon a powerful spirit beast at will as well!

…

While Luo Xia and Situ Tengyi were enjoying their feast, trouble was brewing on Luo Yi’s side.

Though Luo Yi and Luo Mei had maintained a show of friendliness during their journey, as soon as they arrived at Guang Juxian and were out of Luo Jingfeng’s sight, their rivalry flared up.

Sure enough, a fight broke out.

At this time, Luo Jingfeng had already retired for the night, leaving the five siblings to enjoy their late supper.

Luo Yue, Luo Rong, and Luo Xiang naturally sided with Luo Yi. Luo Mei was left isolated, and since she was no match for Luo Yi, within ten moves Luo Mei found herself with a sword pressed to her snowy-white throat.

Guang Juxian allowed its patrons to fight as long as nothing inside was damaged. Any damage would have to be compensated at ten times the original price. In fact, many came to Guang Juxian specifically to watch such battles of strength, so no one intervened. If anything, the bystanders only encouraged them to fight harder.

“Luo Mei, go die!” Luo Yi glared at Luo Mei with hatred.

This wretched woman dared to vie with her for the Evil King—she must be tired of living!

Luo Mei glared back, equally full of hatred. “Luo Yi, have you forgotten Grandfather’s teachings? If you dare kill me, Grandfather will never forgive you!”

Luo Yi sneered. Who was she now? She was the reincarnation of the Phoenix! Grandfather would be eager to exalt her, not punish her for killing Luo Mei. Whatever he said at home was just the posture of an elder disciplining the younger generation.

“Oh really?” Luo Yi’s sneer deepened. “Too bad you’ll never know.”

Seeing the unmistakable killing intent in Luo Yi’s eyes, Luo Mei grew frightened. She looked to Luo Yue and the others. “Aren’t any of you going to stop her?”
