Dongting went into the water, and Yueyang went downstairs. The view from Yueyang Tower is naturally well-known, even Fan Wenzhenggong wrote the classic piece "Yueyang Tower Record" about it.
"Please come in, three of you!" A warm voice greeted the three as they entered Yueyang Tower.
"Monkey Spirit, stop playing tricks and quickly take us to the private room you booked," Lu Feng immediately saw through Sikong Zhaixing's disguise.
"What! Your eyes are too sharp! I used Spell to transform, and you saw right through it," Sikong Zhaixing said.
Lu Feng chuckled, "You can use Spell, so can I! You know Thirty-Six Transformations, but I also know Earthly Transformation of Seventy-Two Changes! It’s easy for me to see through your disguise!"
"Stop showing off. It's just because you found an impressive Master. Just look at yourself now, neither man nor woman, trying to imitate Aunt with those flowers!" Sikong Zhaixing retorted, not holding back against Lu Ji.
"Dead Monkey Spirit, you have no taste! This is not just any look; it's a special mark of the Phoenix clan!"
"Phoenix? More like Mountain Chicken!"
"Mountain Chicken is still better than you, monkey! I'm curious why you didn't apprentice under Sun Wukong, but instead chose Zhu Bajie. Now that I think about it, your monkey ancestor must not have liked you!"
"You..."
"......"
The two habitually bickered until they entered the private room booked by Sikong Zhaixing. Inside were others who had come from the Red Mansion World: Ximen Chui Xue, Ye Gucheng, and Zhang Yingfeng. The once fierce sword energy from Ximen Chui Xue and Ye Gucheng had completely retracted, both appearing calm and composed. Their sharpness was hidden. Zhang Yingfeng's eyes lit up when he saw Bai Tang, but unfortunately, all of Bai Tang's attention was focused on Ximen Chui Xue and Ye Gucheng, completely unaware of Zhang Yingfeng's gaze.
"Have you all started your journeys?" Bai Tang couldn't help but marvel at their impressive talents; they truly were the protagonist and his good friends! Compared to them, the cultivation speed of the natives in this world could only be described as tortoise-like; these few were exceptional!
Zhang Yingfeng blushed, "Only we have set out! Compared to them, am I really that useless?"
"Uh, not at all! The skills you are cultivating are ones you have never ventured into before. Unlike Ximen and Lord Ye, who originally followed the path of swordsmanship, making their training much more efficient. You are starting from scratch. Cultivation still requires patience and meticulousness in the culinary arts. Naturally, it will take you longer than others." Bai Tang's comfort made Zhang Yingfeng's face even redder, but he was excitedly happy: Bai Tang is comforting me, how gentle! How blissful!
Sikong Zhaixing patted Zhang Yingfeng on the shoulder, "Yeah, don't belittle yourself. Even if you haven't set out yet, your abilities are still this!"
Sikong Zhaixing raised his left thumb, "All these dishes are your achievement! I just sneaked a taste of a piece of vegetarian mixed dish. It's much better than what Bitter Melon Master makes. It can also enhance magical power and is good for the body; it's simply top-notch!"
Zhang Yingfeng was much calmer about Sikong Zhaixing's praise: "Since you think it's delicious, then eat more!"
Everyone enjoyed the dishes made by Zhang Yingfeng, drinking the wine brewed by Hua Man Lou, feeling that nothing could be more delicious. Even though Bai Tang had an external advantage, in terms of flavor, he felt that Zhang Yingfeng's dishes were even more delicious!
"Bai Tang, can I ask you for a favor?" Sikong Zhaixing leaned closer to Bai Tang.
"What is it?" Bai Tang asked while pushing Sikong Zhaixing away a bit, "Just sit in your place."
Sikong Zhaixing didn't mind Bai Tang's dismissive expression and said, "Bai Tang, I want to return to our world. Can you take me back?"
Before Bai Tang could respond, the one who understood Sikong Zhaixing best, Lu Feng, spoke first: "Monkey Spirit, did you get into trouble and want to hide back in our world?"
Sikong Zhaixing smiled awkwardly, "Hehe, Lu Ji, I really had no choice; the opponent is too powerful!"
"Who did you offend?" Bai Tang asked curiously. After all, Sikong Zhaixing was a disciple of Zhu Bajie, with such a strong background, how could he be chased?
"Zhenyuan Daxian!" Sikong Zhaixing exclaimed.
"Who?" Bai Tang escaped to dig in his ears.
"Zhenyuan Daxian!"
"Wow! You’re not really going to steal Ginseng Fruit, are you?"
In his area of expertise, Sikong Zhaixing was animated: "You don’t know, besides those on the Ginseng Fruit tree, Zhenyuan Daxian secretly collected twenty Ginseng Fruits. But now only half are left; I took half."
"Show me!" Bai Tang spread his hands, "It's your payment for sending you back!"
Sikong Zhaixing obediently took out one Ginseng Fruit and placed it in Bai Tang's palm.
"Not enough!" Bai Tang said, "I want two."
Sikong Zhaixing had no choice but to take out another one.
Lu Feng walked over to Sikong Zhaixing: "Monkey Spirit!"
Sikong Zhaixing warily covered his storage bag: "There aren’t any left!"
Lu Feng snatched the storage bag: "We’re all friends; good things should be shared."
He pulled out five Ginseng Fruits from inside and distributed them to the five people present. The others wanted to see Sikong Zhaixing get upset but knew that Ginseng Fruits were valuable, so they didn’t hold back and bit into them right away.
"You bunch of robbers!" Sikong Zhaixing wailed, but it was just for show; good things should be shared with friends. These Ginseng Fruits were originally meant for a few people, and in this world, no one was more trustworthy than them.
Bai Tang patted Sikong Zhaixing on the back and said, "Stop howling, hurry up, we need to get ready to leave."
"Is it that quick?" Sikong Zhaixing was astonished.
"With so many Ginseng Fruits taken out at once, how could Zhenyuan Daxian not notice? We need to run!" Bai Tang quickly opened the Time-Space Gate and pulled everyone through. By the time Zhenyuan Daxian arrived at Yueyang Tower, he was greeted by an empty room; the thief who stole the Ginseng Fruits had long since vanished.
"Fortunately, we escaped in time. Zhenyuan Daxian's presence is even stronger than my Master!" Lu Feng said with lingering fear. They hadn't anticipated that Zhenyuan Daxian would arrive so quickly, and several of them were nearly overwhelmed by the pressure emanating from him, almost spitting blood. Thankfully, Bai Tang acted swiftly and brought them back to this world; otherwise, they would have been injured.
"Zhenyuan Daxian is the ancestor of Earth Immortals and has heard the Dao at Hongjun Zushi's dojo, so his strength is certainly formidable!" Bai Tang explained. "If it weren't for his powerful abilities, how could Ginseng Fruits like this remain in his possession? Would there be few who covet Ginseng Fruits?"
"That's true!" Lu Feng coughed lightly. "Tang Tang, when are you going back to the Celestial Realm?"
"In a couple of days! Why? Are you eager to return and accompany Aoxinchin?" Bai Tang teased Lu Feng.
Lu Feng, with a thick skin that could serve as a city wall, unabashedly replied, "Yes, Aoxinchin will have a hard time taking care of the child alone. I need to go back early to help her!"
"Aoxinchin is a princess of the Western Sea; she has plenty of people to help her take care of the child. But seeing you like this would surely break the hearts of your beautiful acquaintances."
Hua Man Lou laughed, "Actually, women should thank Third Princess for taking in Lu Feng; otherwise, he would be out there causing trouble for them."
Lu Feng jumped up and shouted, "Hua Man Lou, you're supposed to be my good brother! How can you insult me like this?"
Sikong Zhaixing interjected, "I think Hua Man Lou is quite right!"
"Monkey Spirit, shut up! If it weren't for you, how would we have escaped so embarrassingly?"
Sikong Zhaixing scoffed, "Haven't you eaten the ginseng fruit?"
"I'll head back to the villa, farewell!" Ximen Chui Xue left a sentence for Sikong Zhaixing, "I'll remember this favor. If you need me, just find me!"
"Me too!" The city lord said calmly, "I'm going back to Baiyun City, farewell!"
The two men with similar temperaments turned at the same time, one heading north and the other south, and in the blink of an eye, they had vanished from sight.
"Bai Gu Niang, could you notify me when you return to the Immortal Realm? I only asked my master for a few days off and need to go back to continue my cultivation." Zhang Yingfeng was reluctant to leave Bai Tang, but he had been away from his sect and home for a long time and should return to take a look.
"Come to the Bai Family estate in three days. I'll take you back to the Immortal Realm. You should visit the capital first; your grandfather has passed away, and you should pay your respects."
"Grandfather has passed away?" Zhang Yingfeng was shocked and then saddened. "I wasn't by his side when he left. If I had returned earlier to cook him some good dishes, perhaps I could have extended his life!"
"A person's lifespan is predetermined. If Yama wants someone to die at midnight, they cannot be kept alive until dawn. The food you prepare can only help those who still have life left; once their time is up, no matter how much they eat, it won't make a difference." Bai Tang comforted Zhang Yingfeng. Although she didn't have romantic feelings for him, she was a bit softer towards him than other men because he liked her. "Don't be too sad; Xue Pan's soul has already been personally sent by me to the Underworld for reincarnation. In his next life, he will be reborn into royalty, living a life of wealth and ease."
"Thank you!" Zhang Yingfeng said gratefully. "Then I'll head back to the capital first and look for you in three days!"
He took out an azure bowl, enlarged it in mid-air, and jumped inside, commanding the bowl to fly into the sky.
"Heh heh, as expected of the Food God’s disciple; even his magical tool is related to food." Sikong Zhaixing laughed as he jumped up and did a somersault, landing on a nearby branch. "I'm leaving; don't look for me unless it's something important!"
Hua Man Lou smiled, "Sikong is quite carefree!" After that, he bid farewell to Bai Tang and went back to the Flower Family to visit his parents and siblings.
In the end, only Bai Tang and Lu Feng were left. Bai Tang glanced sideways at Lu Feng and asked, "Aren't you leaving?"
Lu Feng: "I'm not leaving. I've decided to stay in Bai Family Village for three days, and then I'll return to the Immortal Realm with you!"
"Sure! But you have to pay for food and lodging!" Bai Tang said, holding out his hand for money.
Lu Feng: "Aren't we friends? How can friends charge each other?"
"I can't help it; I need money!"
"You still need money? Dragon King practically gave you half of his treasury!" Lu Feng didn't believe Bai Tang's words.
"Ah! But I still need money."
"What do you need so much money for?"
"I'm saving the world. Do you believe me?" (To be continued...)
