Chapter 1515: Little Lanterns
Besides the immensely lively canopy of the Heart-Talk Fruit Tree, there was truly nothing else to see.
This was, in your eyes, an incredibly magical landscape, utterly astonishing.
Ling Zhenfei was completely shocked; if all of these bore Heart-Talk Fruits, then wouldn't that bring immense wealth in the future? It's simply terrifying.
It seemed to Ling Zhenfei that he could see vast amounts of money waving at him; the sheer magnitude of wealth here was astounding just to think about.
However, the Heart-Talk Fruit Tree had not yet borne any fruit, so Ling Zhenfei hadn't seen the spectacle of the tree covered in small lanterns. But that sight seemed not far off.
Naturally, Ling Zhenfei was very happy. To ensure his Heart-Talk Fruit Tree grew well, he took out his Xuantian Spirit Spring Pot and began to water each of the trees.
After watering over a hundred trees, Ling Zhenfei finally felt satisfied.
Whether the Heart-Talk Fruits could develop was heavily related to the absorption of Northern Spiritual Energy.
Now that Ling Zhenfei had watered them with Spirit Spring Water, he wondered if it could make the Heart-Talk Fruits grow faster.
After completing everything, Ling Zhenfei returned to the Peach Blossom Fairy's house.
At this point, the Peach Blossom Fairy had already finished dressing; now she was wearing a beautiful pink Hanfu.
The long hem of the skirt was very pretty, and the pink dress complemented the peach blossoms around the house.
Ling Zhenfei was momentarily stunned; the Peach Blossom Fairy was preening in the mirror at this time.
Her incredibly smooth and beautiful hair was straight as a waterfall, and now she rearranged it into a new hairstyle.
Ling Zhenfei found himself dumbstruck for a moment. The Peach Blossom Fairy was naturally very beautiful; no matter what clothing she wore, her beauty was always apparent.
It was clear that the Peach Blossom Fairy had already seen Ling Zhenfei's expression in the mirror and said to him, "What are you looking at? Hurry over here."
Ling Zhenfei quickly walked over to Peach Blossom Fairy, who twirled around beside him and asked, "So, how do I look?"
Ling Zhenfei nodded: "A fairy is always beautiful regardless of the clothing; it's not the clothes but the beauty of the person that stands out."
The Peach Blossom Fairy's face flushed slightly, and she shyly said, "You always say such things to deceive me."
Ling Zhenfei replied, "Maybe some words aren't true, but these absolutely are, I swear to heaven."
Just as Ling Zhenfei was about to swear, the Peach Blossom Fairy covered his mouth and said, "Why swear over such a silly thing, fool."
Ling Zhenfei was momentarily stunned, for he saw the Peach Blossom Fairy's eyes filled with gentleness.
Their gazes met, and for a moment, the two were frozen, yet their eyes soon looked away from each other.
The Peach Blossom Fairy said, "Would you like some tea? The teacup you brought brews such wonderful tea."
Saying this, she poured Ling Zhenfei a cup of Peach Blossom Tea.
The teapot, of course, was exceptional; it was a high-quality purple clay pot that cost Ling Zhenfei quite a bit.
The two sat under the Peach Blossom Tree in the courtyard, sipping tea and chatting.
Nearby, the Lightning Bird was perched on the tree, clearly very fond of the place, flying around happily.
"When do you plan to return this time? Do you need me to cook for you?"
Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment. The time here was relatively short, even if he stayed for a few days, it would only be a night's time upon returning.
Ling Zhenfei said, "I plan to stay here for a while this time, to see if there's anything else needed here that I can bring next time."
The Peach Blossom Fairy said, "There's no need to trouble yourself; you've already brought me so many clothes. I'm very happy."
Ling Zhenfei replied, "If there's anything you feel uncomfortable with or anything you lack, you must let me know, don't be shy with me."
The Peach Blossom Fairy said, "I need nothing. Just stay here longer, talk to me more, keep me company."
Ling Zhenfei said, "So, I'll keep you company for a few more days this time and recover a bit here."
After a fierce battle in the Stadium Bureau, Ling Zhenfei had suffered severe injuries; although they were no longer apparent, the internal wounds were not easily healed.
Even after taking numerous miraculous elixirs from Longzhou Shares, the physical injuries were not simple to recover.
Thus, Ling Zhenfei wanted to rest in this Peach Blossom Secret Realm, where the spiritual energy was plentiful and free from disturbances, making it an excellent place for cultivation.
The Peach Blossom Fairy said, "Since you're injured, take your time to cultivate here; this place is very suitable for healing."
Ling Zhenfei said, "The day is already late, and night is about to fall. Since I've been here for quite some time, often enjoying your meals, let me show off my skills today."
The Peach Blossom Fairy seemed slightly surprised and said, "Alright, if you dare to take the initiative, then your cooking skills must be impressive."
But even with Ling Zhenfei's excellent culinary skills, making a good dish here was challenging due to the lack of proper stove equipment.
In Chinese cooking, mastering the fire is crucial, so cooking good food first requires proper cookware and stoves.
Other than the natural hearth being slightly better, everything else here did not meet the standards.
However, Ling Zhenfei had plenty of good vegetables from Di Tian Shen Sui, most of which didn't require precise cooking.
For instance, Ling Zhenfei's Clearwater Chicken needed only simple ingredients and a bit of simmering.
And then there were simple cold vegetable dishes. Using vegetables from Xi Shan Restaurant was enough to make delicious cold appetizers.
So preparing a good meal here was quite easy.
Ling Zhenfei looked at the time, realizing it was indeed late, and said to Peach Blossom Fairy, "Fairy, please wait a moment while I cook."
With great interest, the Peach Blossom Fairy said, "Alright, I'm curious to see what delicious dishes you can make for me."
"Just wait and see," Ling Zhenfei said as he headed to the kitchen.
Though called a kitchen, it was just a stove platform, with no advanced kitchen equipment inside.
Ling Zhenfei did not mind; fortunately, there were plenty of plates, which he had bought for himself this time.
Ling Zhenfei first took the vegetables he wanted from Di Tian Shen Sui and began cooking.
The first was to stew the chicken; after simple processing, it needed no further attention, allowing Ling Zhenfei to continue with other dishes.
These were dishes Ling Zhenfei frequently made, like stir-fried crispy white lotus root, egg lantern dish, vegetable salads, and the like.
