The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 927 - 508: Midnight Visitor

Isn’t this the Lin Wei who escorted the two children back to the VIP room yesterday? It naturally knew where she lived and also knew that this young man had spoken to her. This kind of peculiar creature isn’t very intelligent, yet the boy was able to become friendly with it. Although Hidden Stream is skilled in alchemy, the vast number of Lin Wei are of low status and little power, and obtaining a Spirit Pill is not easy, no wonder this Lin Wei betrayed her for such a small profit. And with the Lin Wei as a guardian, he indeed could go to many places in the Hidden Stream, for instance, her residence.

Before she could greet him, Huangfuming had already taken large strides through the front courtyard and entered the small building. By the time she walked in, the little fellow had already placed the brocade box on the square table and was looking around, then said disappointedly: "Hmm, as the Hall Master of the two major halls of Hidden Stream, I thought your place would be something special, but it’s actually not even as good as the VIP room! Haha, you don’t even have a maid." He took off his coat, unsure of where to put it. Normally, when he enters a door, a maid would naturally come to serve him, but now he could only touch his nose and search for a coat rack. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Ning Xiaoxian was somewhat impressed with him. This boy could naturally make people think that he was the owner of the place wherever he went. Perhaps this is what they call an overpowering presence.

She had just returned for less than two days; previously, He Sect Leader had ordered people over to clean and organize, so the inside of the house still retained the emptiness from when she had left, with barely any furniture. She doesn’t like luxurious styles, so apart from arranging a few potted aquatic plants according to Huaxia customs and placing some souvenirs bought from the Westward Journey, there were no other decorations, but the room was spotless.

Huangfuming, coming from a wealthy background, had never lived in such a simple house. Given his special status, even when cultivating in the Chaoyun Sect, his dwelling was arranged by servants according to the customs of his old home. Ning Xiaoxian had somewhat figured out his temperament; upon hearing, she wasn’t annoyed, only saying: "The place for VIPs is naturally better."

Huangfuming then frowned and said: "Just passable, it’s just that the food is too hard to eat."

She laughed, deeply agreeing. The food in Hidden Stream is indeed too poor. The demons cultivating here don’t pay much attention to the desire for food and drink, and for a foodie like her, if she doesn’t cook herself, the meals sent by the Hidden Guards are simply inedible.

"Tell me, what brings you here so late?"

"To bring you something." He pointed to the brocade box on the table, "A small gift, just a token of appreciation."

What kind of precious gift made this young master personally make a trip? "In such cold weather, why not have a Hidden Guard deliver it, why go personally?"

Huangfuming detected the concern in her words, his eyes lit up, he reached out to open the brocade box and pushed it in front of her. Once the lid was lifted, a light osmanthus fragrance wafted out, inside were neatly stacked Fourth Grade flower cakes, each piece of cake made with seven colors from top to bottom, layers rich and clear, colors bright and attractive, making one’s fingers itch to try them.

"Lingxiang Records’ thousand-layer cake?" Ning Xiaoxian recognized it with just one look, her sense of taste was exceptionally good, having tasted it only once on the Westward Journey, she could remember the shape and taste of the food.. Lingxiang Records is a very famous old pastry shop in Ru State, and its best-selling item is this thousand-layer cake, soft and fragrant. What makes it different from pastries sold in other shops is that Lingxiang Records’ thousand-layer cake, aside from adding osmanthus and rose scent, also uses real pig lard.

People who like traditional pastries know that really good cake must be made with lard, especially since this place uses a very rare local seasoning to add unique flavor, which is coconut juice and Coconut Strips. The place where Lingxiang Records is located, is seven thousand miles from where coconuts are produced, and to create such a unique taste involves much effort, just this kind of intention alone can make one taste the difference.

Huangfuming happily said: "You can indeed recognize it. This is the thousand-layer cake made with osmanthus picked and sun-dried from last autumn by Lingxiang Records, only three thousand pieces were sold!"

She said with a half-smile: "Is this a borrowed gift? How do I remember that the thousand-layer cake your little fiancée sent you was also this, could it be this very box? Hmm, I’m afraid this line was also copied?"

"You actually heard that." He replied sullenly, "This is the only box of pastries in my hand worth giving, so I had to send it to you."

She shook her head: "What a waste of that little girl’s intentions." If Jin Manyan knew this box of thousand-layer cake was now on her table, she would probably explode in anger.
