Chapter 292: Zhao Nishang: Isn’t it Reasonable for This War God to Enjoy Good Food?

Morning.

As the first rays of sunlight lit up the streets of Rui’an City,

Physician Zhu Xiwang had already donned her favorite brocade robe and started her rounds.

Today, she was heading to the Mo Mansion to diagnose the ailing young master who had difficulty traveling.

Accompanying her was Wang Haoran, who wore matching clothing, carrying her medical kit as her assistant for the day.

Walking side by side, the silent yet sweet atmosphere between the two was evident to passersby. They appeared as a pair of young lovers newly in love…

Midway, the assistant plucked up the courage, and after several attempts, gently took the physician’s soft hand.

With this touch, the physician was like a startled deer, her head bowed, fiddling with her clothes. Her cheeks, ears, and neck turned red, but she did not pull away. Instead, with a shy smile, she returned the grasp.

This tender and shy demeanor made the assistant stop in his tracks…

At this point, Wang Haoran halted the narration in his mind.

Then, under Zhu Xiwang’s puzzled gaze, he gently kissed her red lips.

“The dragonfly-like gentle touch brought the physician and assistant closer, making the atmosphere between them even sweeter!”

[…]

Hearing his host finally finish his narration, the system couldn’t help but voice its thoughts.

[Host, it was just a peck on Zhu Xiwang’s lips… was all that preamble necessary…?]

[Moreover, this system doesn’t see anything inexperienced about you… inexperienced in pretense, perhaps…]

The system was too tired to ridicule further. This host had kissed Ning Xueluo and Zhu Nan countless times before setting out.

Now, just because of a slight kiss with Zhu Xiwang, he called himself inexperienced!

However.

Being exposed by the system didn’t bother Wang Haoran at all.

“System, you don’t get it!”

“As the male lead in a female-oriented novel, I have to sweeten things with the female protagonist! It’s my duty!”

[Host, but you’re actually the villain…]

“Shut up! I am the male lead! I have to create sweet moments with the female protagonist!”

“System, let me tell you, as the male lead, I’ve studied this. There are many types of sweet moments between couples!”

Next, the master of sweet moments, Wang Haoran, explained in detail to the system.

“For instance, just now, a kiss with Xiwang was a sweet, innocent fruit jelly candy!”

“Besides that, always being affectionate and sweet to the point of cloying is like a milk candy!”

“Sweet but painful, sweet moments accompanied by torment are like rock sugar!”

“Outwardly sweet, but nauseating after consumption is like durian candy!”

“Only sweet at the beginning, becoming bland over time is like Yida chewing gum!”

“Forbidden love not accepted by society, yet intoxicating step by step… is like sweet liquor chocolates!”

“……”

“But among all these types of candies, my favorite to give to the female lead is still…”

The system was curious: [Which one?]

“Hehe, naturally it’s…”

Wang Haoran smirked—

“Naked… candy!”

……

……

Quickly, the two hand-in-hand arrived at the gate of the Mo Mansion.

With Wang Haoran releasing her hand unintentionally, Zhu Xiwang felt reluctant in her heart.

However, she still smiled and led Wang Haoran to the Mo Mansion gate.

The Mo Mansion guards recognized Zhu Xiwang and, after a brief inquiry, allowed her and Wang Haoran to enter.

On their way to Mo Qingyuan’s courtyard,

Wang Haoran couldn’t help but use his X-ray vision to check the room from last night.

“I wonder if Zhao Nishang is still there…”

“Okay, she is still… there—”

“…Hey, what are you doing so early in the morning?!!”

Looking closely, Wang Haoran was shocked by the scene in the room—

Zhao Nishang sat properly at the table, sleeves rolled up, revealing two white jade-like arms.

She was savoring food.

Wang Haoran saw her gently pick up her food and take a small bite, chewing slowly.

The whole action was graceful—if she were eating pastries, that is.

Unfortunately, what she held was a roasted pig’s trotter, about the size of her small face.

No matter how elegant a beauty is, directly eating pig trotters doesn’t help the image!

Moreover, a whole roasted chicken was also placed on her table!

Focused on gnawing at the pig’s trotter and occasionally sipping some wine, Zhao Nishang looked thoroughly enjoying herself, leaving Wang Haoran utterly shocked.

“Hey, aren’t you at the Legendary stage?!”

“I thought you were an otherworldly fairy!”

“Didn’t expect you to be eating pig trotters first thing in the morning! Aren’t you tired of it?!”

——

——

Oblivious to being watched, Zhao Nishang continued her feast alone in the closed room.

“Burp~”

Finishing the pig’s trotter, she reached for the roasted chicken.

She couldn’t help but sigh.

“Our Piao Miao Summit is pitiful! What could the mess hall possibly serve?!”

“Just noodles, buns, fried rice, and stewed meat.”

“Can’t compare to the food down the mountain!”

Taking a bite of the roasted chicken, she began to praise.

“This, this is what you call good eating!”

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Zhao Nishang focused on enjoying her meal.

Ever since 30 years ago, while searching for someone, she sampled delicacies from nearly half of the ancient martial world, she became quite the foodie.

At Piao Miao Summit, she occasionally ate at the holy ground cafeteria.

But since the cafeteria staff viewed her as the Legendary realm War God who didn’t need food, they thought she was there for inspection.

So, a large group respectfully surrounded her, awaiting her instructions.

With so many people watching, she couldn’t admit she was just there to eat.

After that incident, she immediately came up with a new solution—

Given that my realm wouldn’t easily improve anymore, why not go down the mountain for a bit of adventure! Plus, there’s more food down there!

Decided, she hid her War God identity and late-stage Legend strength, and started touring the holy ground territories as a “peak Transformation stage holy ground steward.”

This time, passing through Rui’an City, she accepted the Mo family’s invitation to stay.

She thought, free meals sounded good.

“But, why are the Mo family’s dishes so strange…”

Zhao Nishang recalled how earlier this morning, she subtly asked the Mo family if they had any food, and they soon brought her two bizarre dishes.

The first was Pearl in Clear Water, a jade bowl filled with hundreds of large pearls.

“This dish… although pearls are great for beauty and skincare… I don’t need it… Eating so many at once is a waste…”

“And they taste horrible!”

She tasted one pearl and didn’t want any more.

The second dish was Golden Plate with Red Shrimp.

“Each gold brick weighs almost half a pound, and there’s only one shrimp on top! How’s that enough to eat?”

“Do they expect me to eat the nine gold bricks?!”

Zhao Nishang didn’t know that because she, coming from a holy ground, had frequent meal requests, the Mo family misunderstood, thinking she was hinting at something. So, they prepared two very expensive dishes.

After eating the nine red shrimps, she cast the remaining gold bricks aside, preparing to return them with the pearls.

Unfulfilled, she sneaked out to buy her own food.

Now.

After finishing the roasted chicken, she activated her true energy, instantly cleaning the oil from her lips and hands.

She touched her stomach, smiling contently—

“Burp~”
