Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 495 - 460 Tuling Village_2

The girl’s words stunned Qin Qing.

He had never imagined that the chicken he had just eaten would be the last poultry in the home of the old man and the little girl.

To be exact, it was their last piece of meat.

He found it even harder to imagine that the old man and the little girl had gone without meat for over half a year.

Qin Qing was born in the Qin Residence, a family of cultivation.

Therefore, food had never been an issue for him to worry about...

Similarly, although Qin Qing had traveled far and wide and had experienced many life-and-death situations, broadening his horizons,

he had never truly entered the lives of the common folk at the bottom of society.

He simply couldn’t imagine that people could be impoverished to such an extent.

"I’m sorry. I didn’t know..." Qin Qing quickly got up and took a piece of jerky from his Spirit Ring. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

It was the paw meat of a bear-type ferocious beast.

"Grandpa, actually I have plenty of food. I just wasn’t paying attention and didn’t realize you hadn’t eaten," Qin Qing said.

He handed the meat jerky to the old man.

The old man gave a slight smile and shook his head, "No need, I’m old, it doesn’t matter much whether I eat."

"Old man, I have a lot more of this kind of food," Qin Qing said.

He then took out several other food ingredients, including Spirit Fruit, Spirit Grass, and some meat.

Actually, at Qin Qing’s level of cultivation, he didn’t need to obtain nutrients through food anymore.

These meats were not just simple foods; they were also some valuable medicinal ingredients.

Furthermore, they could be used in concocting some medicinal potions or elixirs...

"No need, young man. Keep those things for yourself. My chicken cannot be exchanged for such fine items..." the old man waved his hands repeatedly.

He could tell that these items were all very valuable.

Moreover, Qin Qing didn’t have these items in his hands before, but now they appeared out of thin air, showing that Qin Qing was carrying a Spirit Ring, something only martial artists possess.

And a Spirit Ring is a luxury far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Don’t worry about it, grandpa. You saved my life, and these things are nothing in comparison. And I see the little sister is growing and needs to replenish her nutrition," Qin Qing insisted, and these things truly were inconsequential to him.

Moreover, the old man really had saved his life.

If it hadn’t been for the old man taking him in, he might already have been carried off by wild animals.

In that condition, Qin Qing was completely powerless to resist, and being torn apart and eaten by wild animals was a very real possibility!

"The little sister said that you all haven’t had meat for half a year. Old man, please don’t refuse; these things really mean nothing to me," Qin Qing said again.

The little girl at his side hadn’t expected Qin Qing to suddenly produce so many items, and remembering her earlier complaints to Qin Qing, she suddenly felt somewhat embarrassed.

"My name is Su Wanqing, you don’t have to call me little sister," Su Wanqing said.

"Alright, little Qing. Let’s make a fresh pot of soup now and let grandpa join us in a good meal, shall we?" Qin Qing said with a smile.

Su Wanqing quickly got up.

The two sprang into action; Qin Qing took several types of nourishing ingredients, aiming to complement and balance them to achieve a strengthening effect, while also ensuring that the potency would not be too overwhelming.

After all, Su Wanqing and the old man were both ordinary people, and their bodies couldn’t withstand too strong a medicinal effect.

Nourishment also needed to be gradual.

Su Wanqing built the fire, while Qin Qing allocated the ingredients, chopping and adding them to the pot in the right order.

Gurgle gurgle...

The wood fire burned brightly, the lid on the pot was lifted slightly by the steam, then settled back down, emitting a "plop plop plop" sound, accompanied by wafts of delicious aroma.

After an hour, a pot of rich and savory broth full of hearty ingredients was ready.

"Come, grandpa! Taste and see how my cooking is!"

This time, it was Qin Qing who served a full bowl of soup to the old man.

"Good, good!" The old man smiled from ear to ear, savoring the delicious soup made by Qin Qing, the taste making him comfortably squint his eyes.

"Little Qing, you have some too!"

Qin Qing also filled a bowl for Su Wanqing.

She didn’t hesitate to gulp it down.

"So tasty," Su Wanqing said with a face full of enjoyment. "Even better than the chicken soup from before!"

"Haha, if it’s good, drink more," Qin Qing laughed.

"Mmm, will do, brother. Oh, brother, what’s your name?" Su Wanqing still exhibited impeccable manners, a sign of good upbringing from the old man, clearly showing she was a well-mannered child.

The meal brought immense joy to the old man and Su Wanqing.

Their happiness stemmed not only from the food but also from the liveliness Qin Qing brought with him.

This grandfather and granddaughter, who always kept each other company, now suddenly had another person in their midst, adding a different kind of enjoyment to their life.

In the following days,

Qin Qing took the initiative to cook every day.

The ingredients he used were always different, and sometimes he would go deep into the mountains to hunt for fresh food.

Dawn saw him leaving, dusk found him returning.

Qin Qing was living the simplest of lives, like a true farmer.

Of course, during these days, Qin Qing’s cultivation was also rapidly recovering, and he had now returned to the Soul Refinement Realm.

"Tonight, I should be able to return to the Divine Might Realm!"

Such a rapid recovery rate was truly astonishing.

It hadn’t slowed down despite the increase in cultivation level; on the contrary, due to the restoration of Qin Qing’s physical body and the improvement of all conditions, the speed of recovery was accelerating...

"I wonder how my master and the others are doing!"
