She had a refined and handso appearance, with a tall and slender figure. Dressed in a light red robe that tightly cinched her petite waist, her statuesque stature stood out even more.
Especially with her sword-like eyebrows and bright, star-like eyes, her long hair tied into a neat ponytail, she exuded the aura of a spirited young woman of the martial world.
Yi Feng noticed her curious gaze fixed on his roasted pig leg.
He couldn't help but smile and said, "This is called barbecue."
"Barbecue? What's that?"
The young lady continued to inquire, her beautiful eyes filled with even more curiosity.
Seeing her like an eager child, and her words brimming with a genuine desire to learn, Yi Feng, finding himself with nothing better to do, decided to explain further. "Barbecue is a cooking technique where food is roasted over a fire."
"What a fascinating thod! I've never tried it before!"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but lick her red lips, blushing as she asked, "Can I have a taste?"
Yi Feng was slightly taken aback.
This girl was straightforward and unpretentious.
So, he smiled and said, "Of course."
Hearing this, the young lady's eyes lit up with joy. She quickly sat down beside Yi Feng, her gaze fixed eagerly on the rotating pig leg.
"May I ask for your na, miss?" Yi Feng asked as he sprinkled seasoning on the at.
The beauty waved her hand and said, "We're all martial artists here, no need for formalities. My na is Li Muqiu."
Then she asked in return, "And may I know your na, sir?"
"I'm Yi Feng."
"I've heard much about you!"
Li Muqiu clasped her hands in a martial salute, then pointed at the pig leg and asked curiously, "Yi Feng, is barbecue just about turning the food over and over on the fire?"
Yi Feng chuckled, "You're partly right, but not entirely."
He continued to turn the pig leg and explained, "It's not just about simple roasting. The control of the fire and the seasoning are also crucial."
As he spoke, he used a small knife to cut off a piece of the crispy skin and handed it to Li Muqiu.
"Go ahead, try it."
Li Muqiu quickly took it with her hand and stuffed it into her mouth.
Instantly, her mouth was filled with oil and the rich aroma of the at.
Li Muqiu's face lit up with pure enjoynt, her delicate eyebrows knitting together in delight.
With her mouth full of food, she mumbled, "Yi Feng, it's so good, it's really so good! This is the most delicious thing I've ever eaten!"
Yi Feng smiled faintly.
Having co from a country renowned for its culinary arts, it was only natural that his cooking would elicit such a reaction.
Seeing her enjoynt, and since the outer layer of the pig leg was now fully cooked, he began to slice it into pieces with his knife.
Soon, the two of them had devoured the entire pig leg.
Li Muqiu patted her slightly bulging stomach, letting out a small burp of satisfaction.
"Yi Feng, today I, Li Muqiu, have enjoyed a great feast thanks to you. I will definitely return the favor soday!" Li Muqiu declared.
"You're too kind," Yi Feng smiled.
"No, it's only right. We martial artists believe in repaying our debts!"
Li Muqiu's tone shifted as she asked, "By the way, from your accent, you don't seem to be a local, do you?"
"No, I've just arrived here. I'm a bit short on funds, so I ca up the mountain to hunt and gather so traveling money."
Thinking of this, Yi Feng's mood soured again.
If he ever found out who changed the currency system, he'd tear them to pieces!
"I see... But recently, many people have been coming here, all saying they want to witness the brilliance of the Sixth-Rank Array Master."
At this, Li Muqiu let out a soft "ah" and pointed at Yi Feng, saying, "I know! You must have co to see the Sixth-Rank Array Master too, right?"
At the ntion of this Sixth-Rank Array Master, Yi Feng's face darkened.
