He indeed knew that centipedes could be used medicinally, but what happened just now was so sudden that it was normal for him to feel disgusted. Yet Luo Qing Luan also ate one herself. This proved that what she said wasn"t lying. From the way she ate, there wasn"t the slightest bit of disgust revealed. On the contrary, she ate with keen interest and pleasure, so he understood that everything she said was true.

Was it possible that he couldn"t even compare to a little girl? Would he actually be afraid of these things?

Unconsciously, the anger in Nalan Ye"s heart faded away. In its place was an unlimited amount of curiosity. No matter whether it was regarding Luo Qing Luan"s courage, or her experience, or her knowledge with respect to medicine, he was extraordinarily surprised. His interest was aroused more intensely than ever.

He had been thinking that he already understood her, but he didn"t expect that each time he met her, she was able to bring him a new experience and feeling. How could he not involuntarily be fascinated by this kind of young lady?

A smiling expression subconsciously exposing itself by the side of his lips, the coldness and strictness on Nalan Ye"s face could no longer be maintained. He spoke with a gentle smile. "You, girl, why are you so full of fallacious arguments? So I still failed to live up to your good intentions, right?"

Luo Qing Luan pouted her lips and rolled her eyes towards him while responding, "Is it possible that"s not the case? "

She looked up at the sky as if she truly had no alternative but to think so and sighed exaggeratedly. "Sigh, some people have not experienced much, but still insist on being opinionated. Such rare delicacies which other people don"t have a chance to taste in their lifetime, even if they wanted to, was eaten by someone who even accused me of messing with him. Tell me……"

Looking at Nalan Ye, she continued teasingly, "Isn"t this kind of man as gutless as a mouse. Moreover, he even has the heart of a narrow-minded person?"

She actually spoke of him this way?

But not only was Nalan Ye not angered, he even laughed. "This girl, what a glib tongue you have. I already agreed to help you, so I naturally wouldn"t go back on my promise. You even say that I"m narrow-minded. Do you really think that I"ll revoke my commitment?"

"If you want to revoke it then revoke it. Worse comes to worse, Your Lordship will just become a vile character not just in name but in person, too, right?" Luo Qing Luan appeared totally indifferent and even wrinkled her nose at him.

"Forget it. I won"t bother to bicker with a little girl. It"s beneath my dignity." As Nalan Ye spoke, he looked at the last two branches in her hand, then raised his lips. "There are two left of your delicacies. What, are you going to eat them yourself, or throw them away?"

After speaking for such a long time, Luo Qing Luan finally remembered that she hadn"t finished eating the delicious food which she made with difficulty. She immediately replied, "I wouldn"t throw away something I painstakingly made. You don"t appreciate delicacies, but I won"t squander them."

After she finished speaking, she started to use her fingers and carefully tore apart the burnt and black outer sh.e.l.l. Very quickly, the delicate meat inside was exposed. Feeling that it"d turned somewhat cold, Luo Qing Luan sat by the side of the fire and heated it once more. Then, she even used the few remaining wild fruits to squeeze out their juice onto the meat. After that, she then ate it with pleasure.

"Is it really delicious?" Nalan Ye watched with a bit of puzzlement.

"you already ate it just now, yet you still ask me?" Luo Qing Luan just rolled her eyes at him.

With a frown, Nalan Ye started to recall the flavor from before. When he took the first bite, he didn"t know it was an insect and felt that the taste was really pretty good, quite fresh and special. Otherwise, he wouldn"t have asked for more. But when he discovered what he was eating, his previous good impression and expectation immediately became disgust. How could he still want to eat?

But Luo Qing Luan questioned him again. After careful consideration, Nalan Ye had to admit that if he ignored his own psychological hurdle, this sky dragon"s meat"s flavor was indeed not bad.

"Some people are just groundlessly choosy. When they were unaware, they ate with relish and even felt that there wasn"t enough, yet once they saw the outside appearance, they immediately changed. Your Lordship, you"re ignorant and inexperienced, I don"t blame you. Back in those days, when my master made this dish for me to eat, the sight was even more frightening than tonight. If you were to see it, I"m afraid you would have nightmares."

She really looked down on him!

With lightning speed, Nalan Ye seized the last centipede that she was going to put in her mouth and said, "Then tell me, how frightening was it?"

As if she deliberately wanted to scare him, Luo Qing Luan answered in deadly earnest. "It was winter at that time. Master and I were on a snowy mountain. He shot down a pheasant then buried its b.l.o.o.d.y carca.s.s in the snowy ground. Those sky dragons smelled the blood and came. You won"t believe that there were no less than several tens of sky dragons which attached themselves on the fowl"s body. Each of them were as long as a foot, but Master"s skill was better than mine. Each strip of de-sh.e.l.led sky dragon meat was delicate, sparkling and translucent, much more succulent, tender, and tasty than shrimp or crab. Coupled with that pepper, salt, and chili and that flavor……"

Deliberately smacking her lips and licking her tongue, she appeared to be totally focusing on the flavor. Watching, Nalan Ye felt as if it happened to him.

It"s already out in the open, she wasn"t messing with him at all. This insect"s flavor was indeed not bad. If the sh.e.l.l was removed and seasoning was added meticulously, he felt that it truly was even more delicious than the royal meals prepared by the imperial kitchen.

As if he was reflecting again upon the flavor from before, Nalan Ye thought no more of it and threw the last sky dragon into his mouth. Originally, he merely bit down probingly, but that special crispness immediately made his misgivings vanish, following which he felt the soft and tender taste, which made him finish it without the slightest hesitation.

"Mn, with your explanation, I actually am also able to accept it." With the psychological barrier eliminated, Nalan Ye even had the notion of eating more. Mn, if time wasn"t wasted just now. If the seasoning was more complete, very likely, even eating a hundred more wouldn"t be enough for him.

With regards to Nalan Ye having accepted it so quickly, Luo Qing Luan was somewhat amazed, but after some thought, she also didn"t feel it was strange.

This dish was made directly by her. Aside from its external appearance, the flavor was absolutely first-rate. It was too normal for big man like him able to overcome his dread and eat it.

What Luo Qing Luan didn"t antic.i.p.ate was that Nalan Ye actually had her go and make some more. But she wasn"t willing!

She"d already obtained his promise. What was she exhausting herself to be his cook for?

She just casually said that there"s no seasoning. Moreover, she wasn"t able to catch any more. Luo Qing Luan had Nalan Ye quickly send her home. She really didn"t want to stay out the whole night.
