Chapter 367: Unexpected Soul Fruit
“Thank me? That’s fine too. Just cook. I haven’t eaten anything in a day, so I’m hungry,” Li Xuan said after taking out some ingredients and cooking tools.
“Eh? Cook?”
The female general was stunned for a moment, unable to react in time.
The grand general had personally said that she wanted to repay Li Xuan. With her status, as long as Li Xuan raised a condition, she would basically be able to fulfill it.
Status, status, wealth, power, cultivation techniques… All sorts of good things could be said to be available.
Such a good opportunity, others would definitely fight over it. Who would have thought that Li Xuan would actually let her cook? This was simply ridiculous.
“Alright, I’ll cook then. Lil’ Meng, come and help me.”
The female general’s fair little face flushed slightly. Actually, she was embarrassed. There was no other way. She was good at fighting, but she was not good at cooking.
Cooking was more difficult for her than killing a Gold Rank powerhouse. She could only ask a cute girl next to her for help.
“Alright.”
The cute girl tilted her little head and looked at Li Xuan curiously. She was extremely surprised and even worshipped Li Xuan for being able to cure the curse.
After all, this was a problem that even a Saint Rank elder could not solve. Yet, it was solved by Li Xuan. This was simply unbelievable.
Thus…
Everyone present was paying attention to Li Xuan. Even Li Xuan’s Senior Sister Peony was looking at Li Xuan with burning eyes, wanting to ask why Li Xuan was so powerful.
Li Xuan could not be bothered by the crowd. He carefully thought about what to do next.
He could set up a Dark Array Formation that others could not set up. This was a huge help to the humans.
If he could completely cure the female general later, his reputation among the humans would skyrocket. He would definitely attract the attention of the Saint Rank ancestor.
However, if he wanted to be bestowed with the Elemental Origin, this was not enough. He needed to make a greater contribution because the Elemental Origin was too precious.
It was so precious that even the female general, Chu Wanqiu, was not qualified to come into contact with it. The only person who could come into contact with it was the Saint Rank ancestor.
“I wonder if the Saint Rank ancestor is in the Abyss Fortress. What kind of contribution would one have to do to be given the Elemental Origin?” Li Xuan said to himself, thinking about how to make a great contribution.
“If I set up the Dark Array Formation in the remaining nine passages, my contribution is not small. There should be hope to obtain the Elemental Origin.”
Li Xuan said to himself again. He was prepared to continue setting up the Dark Array Formations in the next few days to increase his strength and wait for the Elemental Origin to completely mature.
After making his decision, Li Xuan also joined in the cooking. The main reason was that the cooks were all clumsy. They were able to cook until they were burnt. It was really frustrating.
Li Xuan had no choice but to cook personally. He directly purified the pollution from the Pollution Creatures, processed their flesh, and began to cook the braised pork.
As a foodie, other than eating oranges, Li Xuan also liked delicious food. In his previous life, he did a lot of cooking at home, so he was very good at this aspect.
Thus, after he had been busy for half an hour, a rich fragrance filled the Abyss Passage, attracting everyone’s burning gazes to look at Li Xuan.
Even the female general used her pair of beautiful red eyes to look straight at Li Xuan, secretly swallowing her saliva.
In order to hide her embarrassment, she used her fair little hands to brush the black hair by her ears, deliberately distracting herself.
However, the food was too fragrant. She was a Gold Rank powerhouse with sharp five senses, so she could smell the fragrance much more than others.
Therefore, her gaze was once again fixed on Li Xuan, looking at the red braised meat that Li Xuan was cooking.
Time slowly passed, and the fragrance in the Abyss Passage became more and more intense.
The delicacies were gradually made with Li Xuan’s hands, making people drool.
Finally, when the last dish was finished, Li Xuan finally stopped his busyness and said to everyone with a smile.
“That’s enough. Everyone, eat.”
“Finally, we can eat. It’s too fragrant. Little junior brother, I want to eat this. I want to eat a big bowl.” Peony came to Li Xuan’s side and pointed at the big pot of red braised meat.
“Okay, that’s the cutlery over there. You can serve everyone rice.”
Previously, Li Xuan took out the cutlery and directly arranged for the peony to serve everyone rice.
“Yes, yes.”
Peony hurriedly nodded and quickly served everyone rice.
During this process, everyone liked the red braised meat the most. Almost everyone asked for a big bowl, and the cute little girl also asked for a big bowl.
Li Xuan looked at the cute little girl holding a big bowl and eating quickly. He was slightly stunned because he realized that this cute little girl ate faster than everyone else.
After half an hour passed, Li Xuan looked at the big pot of red braised meat being eaten. He was speechless, but at the same time, he was also surprised by the appetite of the beautiful girls.
For example, Peony ate four bowls of red braised meat, the female general ate three bowls, and the small, cute girl ate seven bowls of red braised meat.
That small girl actually ate so much. She was simply a big foodie.
On the other hand, Huo Huli, who had the hottest figure, ate more quietly and less. She only ate half a bowl of braised pork.
“Li Xuan, why aren’t you eating?”
The cute girl who had just finished seven big bowls of braised pork moved to Li Xuan’s side. She stared at the braised pork on Li Xuan’s plate and asked.
“Well, I’m almost full,” Li Xuan said with a smile.
He did not eat much of the braised pork. Most of what he ate were other delicacies, which added up to only about a bowl.
The female general saw that he ate less, so she scooped half a plate of braised pork for Li Xuan. In the end, she did not expect it to attract the cute girl’s attention.
“Well… If you don’t want to eat anymore, can you give it to me?” The cute girl blinked her big eyes in embarrassment and pursed her small lips.
“Here.”
Looking at the cute girl’s embarrassed expression, Li Xuan smiled and handed the plate to her.
“Thank… Thank you. I’ll treat you to the Soul Fruit. It’s very delicious.”
The cute girl took out a strange fruit from her ring and handed it to Li Xuan.
“Soul Fruit?”
It was the first time Li Xuan had heard of such a fruit. He looked at the cute girl in surprise.
“This… This is a fruit unique to our Soul Sect. It can slightly increase Soul Power,” the cute girl explained softly.
“Increase Soul Power?”
Li Xuan looked at the cute girl in surprise. It was a good thing that could increase Soul Power. However, Li Xuan was not sure if this thing was useful to Li Xuan.
He took the Soul Fruit and ate it without hesitation.
In an instant, a warm current appeared in his heart and started to fuse with his soul, increasing his Soul Power.
“It can really increase my Soul Power.”
Li Xuan was very surprised. In the past when he was in the summoning beast world, he had obtained many good things that could increase his soul power. Unfortunately, these things were useless later on.
Especially after Li Xuan’s soul had reached Gold Rank, other than the soul growth brought by the contract, there was nothing else that could increase his Soul Power.
However, he did not expect that there was a kind of Soul Fruit that could actually increase his Soul Power. This was a pleasant surprise to Li Xuan.
“I didn’t expect that a delicious meal would bring about such an unexpected harvest. I wonder if there are many of these fruits? If I can consume them for a long time in the future.”
When Li Xuan thought of this, his eyes lit up and he could not help but look at the cute girl.
“Are there many of these Soul Fruits? Can you give me some more? What kind of plant did this come from?”
“This… this…”
The cute girl did not know how to answer for a moment. She lowered her head helplessly as if she had something to hide.
“Can’t you say it? If you really can’t say it, then forget it.” Li Xuan shook his head and said.
“No, it’s not that I can’t say it. Actually, this is not from a plant. It’s because of a special ability,” the cute girl explained.
