Chapter 407: Chapter 407: Little Dragon Girl

"...!!"

Yang Guo watched, utterly dumbfounded, his heart in turmoil and unable to calm down for quite some time.

This clean and crisp cooking, as if dreamlike and illusionary — the chopping, the tossing, the stir-frying skills!

Occasionally utilizing martial arts, nourishing the dishes with unending inner strength, making them increasingly aromatic!

This series of actions truly opened Yang Guo’s eyes.

Can cooking be done in this way?!

At this moment, hearing Ding Ling’s words, Yang Guo came back to his senses, awkwardly coughing.

He picked up the chopsticks and tasted a piece of green pepper.

After this tasting.

Yang Guo’s eyes immediately lit up, and his heart felt as if it was floating on clouds, utterly intoxicated and ecstatic!

"This feeling..."

Yang Guo found it hard to describe in words.

After a while.

He took a deep breath and almost knelt before Ding Ling:

"Ding Ling, I’ve eaten your food today. How am I supposed to live after this!"

"Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?"

Ding Ling glanced over.

His culinary skills are a combination of the real world, the Three Kingdoms World, and The Smiling, Proud Wanderer World — a fusion of three worlds’ culinary skills!

He could be considered the Kitchen God of Great Success!

Though he seldom cooked, whenever he did, even slightly testing his skills, it amazed people like Qu Feiyan.

However.

The dish just cooked for Yang Guo.

Was made with only thirty percent of his power. Even with that, it was enough to leave Yang Guo in such awe, how would it be if he went all out?

Ding Ling thought so.

Yang Guo, eyes wide, said:

"Ding Ling, I’m not exaggerating at all, your dishes are truly too delicious. Even Immortals would savor them. I almost bit my tongue."

It truly is exceptional.

Too exceptional."

He sighed:

"I submit, I submit! I’m indeed impressed by you, Ding Ling. Your martial arts prowess is already outstanding. It’s unheard of to have culinary skills this strong as well.

I admire you wholeheartedly."

He paused, slightly hopeful, looking at Ding Ling:

"I believe if my aunt tasted your dishes, she would certainly be captivated by you!

I wonder if you could prepare two dishes for my aunt. Not many, just two would do."

He said:

"I mentioned before, if I lost, you could do whatever you wanted. This I cannot take back..."

He babbled on without end.

Ding Ling interrupted him and said:

"Alright. Go get your aunt for dinner."

Ding Ling decided to show off.

Because his goal was to learn the Ancient Tomb Sect martial arts, it would be challenging if he didn’t gain the approval of Little Dragon Girl.

If truly unable to learn.

Ding Ling could only give up.

After all, he’s just making a few small dishes, and he needs to eat as well.

Thinking this way.

Ding Ling began to stir his inner strength to speed up cooking.

With inner strength assisting, the Medicine King Breathing Technique and the Medical Saint Breathing Technique occasionally expedited with vigorous qi, possessing extraordinary nourishing effects. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

All kinds of techniques unfolded.

Ding Ling cooked swiftly.

Not long after.

Two dishes were cooked.

He then conveniently used breathing technique qi and inner strength to expedite the rice cooking.

In a flash of time, it was done.

When Yang Guo arrived with Little Dragon Girl, they were greeted by the ’invigorating’ scent of food and rice.

Little Dragon Girl naturally smelled it too, and her stomach unexpectedly rumbled again.

Yet she remained calm, as though not the one who was hungry. But from her slightly embarrassed expression, it was apparent she was somewhat sheepish.

Yang Guo, seeing this, quickly pulled Little Dragon Girl over to Ding Ling, reaching the ’kitchen.’

Yang Guo, seeing Ding Ling had already finished cooking, couldn’t help but click his tongue in astonishment:

"That’s so fast!"

He pointed at the dishes, looking at Little Dragon Girl:

"Aunt, here is Ding Ling’s cooking. I’m telling you, after eating it, you will definitely be entranced, unable to extricate yourself."

Little Dragon Girl remained skeptical.

But the food was indeed so aromatic, it tempted even her.

This was rare.

Knowing that her Ancient Tomb Sect Technique ’Twelve Few, Twelve More’ encompassed the whole text — fewer thoughts, fewer emotions, fewer joys, fewer likes, etc., made her quite indifferent in demeanor, normally hard to captivate her interest and attention.

Yet these mere dishes.

Almost broke her Yu Girl Skill Technique! Stirring a deep-seated craving within her.

This perplexed and amazed her greatly.

But indeed she was hungry.

Urged by Yang Guo, she sat down.

"Ding Ling, join us."

Yang Guo also stepped forward and pulled Ding Ling to sit down.

The three of them sat together to eat.

Ding Ling felt it was alright.

Yang Guo started eating, unable to stop:

"Oh my heavens!"

He ate while mumbling:

"Too delicious! Even better than before with stir-fried green peppers! Aunt, try it, try it, it’s truly too delicious. I feel my life until now was wasted."

For the first time realizing food could be this good!"

Little Dragon Girl was indeed hungry and started eating too.

Unlike Yang Guo’s ’no restraint’ ’no image’ fast scooping actions, she was dignified and elegant, like a lady, a fairy.

She ate slowly and gracefully.

However.

After just one bite of food.

Little Dragon Girl’s calm face showed a hint of shock.

"How is it?"

Yang Guo swallowed a large mouthful of food, seeing Little Dragon Girl’s expression, couldn’t help but laugh heartily:

"I told you long ago. Ding Ling’s martial arts prowess is one thing, but his culinary skills are even more commendable than martial arts. It’s impossible not to admire. Aunt, if you find it delicious, eat more."

Yang Guo touched his round belly:

"So quickly full. But it feels I haven’t had enough."

He ate too fast.

Just like that, he cleared a bowl of rice!

Obviously, the food was explosively delicious, making him unwittingly act like this.

Little Dragon Girl also ate, unconsciously nodding repeatedly, evidently delighted, thoroughly enjoying herself.

After finishing one bowl of rice.

Uncharacteristically, she had another.

This was unprecedented.

Yang Guo felt increasingly proud, laughing as if he was the one who cooked:

"Not in vain is he my benefactor. Truly remarkable. With your level of culinary skills, I bet even emperors would roll off their thrones just to taste your culinary masterpiece, Ding Ling!"

Ding Ling merely smiled, not saying anything.

After finishing two bowls of rice, Little Dragon Girl, feeling full, found her eyes increasingly bright, and her gaze at Ding Ling had turned subtly.

Within them, there was awe, admiration, approval, wonder, confusion, puzzlement, and bewilderment... complexity to the extreme.

Her awe and admiration need no further mention.

Confusion about how Ding Ling, so young, could master martial arts to the Transformation Realm, not to mention possessing such incredibly advanced culinary skills.

Though she isolated herself in the ancient tomb for years, unaware of the outside world’s chef standards.
