Xia Yu was curious. "Junior Brother Lu, is it really that simple?"
Lu Shaoqing nodded. "Yes, it is. If you eat these dishes, I'll agree to your request."
Xiao Yi's face turned pale.
That nauseating feeling she had forgotten resurfaced.
She covered her mouth, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Her master's cooking was truly unforgettable—in the worst way possible.
Surely Senior Sister Xia wouldn't be able to handle it either?
Second Senior Brother is too cunning, always scheming. This is an easy way for him to dodge Senior Sister Xia's request.
But Xia Yu was skeptical.
She hadn't spent much time with Lu Shaoqing, just about half an hour or so.
However, she had gotten to know him a little during that time.
There was no way it was that simple.
She asked again, "Junior Brother Lu, are you serious?"
Lu Shaoqing responded, "Absolutely. I can swear on it."
This only deepened Xia Yu's doubts.
Meanwhile, Bian Rourou sneered. "Senior Sister, could it be poisoned?"
Bian Rourou never had a good opinion of Lu Shaoqing and always assumed the worst about him.
What he was doing was definitely suspicious—maybe he had poisoned the food, intending to harm Xia Yu.
Xia Yu rolled her eyes. "How could that be?"
Bian Rourou added, "Senior Sister, it seems he knows he can't refuse you, so he’s using this as an excuse to back out."
While this was a possibility, Xia Yu still felt something was off.
Master Shao spoke up again, "Xia Yu, you don't have to pay him any mind. There's no need to eat those dishes."
Master Shao was more than eager to prevent Xia Yu from tasting his cooking.
Xiao Yi's earlier reaction had said it all.
If Xia Yu ate it and then reported back to An Qianyan, he would be utterly humiliated.
Xia Yu, however, smiled and said, "It's fine, Master Shao. I don't mind trying it."
"After all, it smells quite nice."
"Could it be that Junior Brother Lu cooked this himself?"
Lu Shaoqing laughed heartily. "No, this is my master's cooking. Go ahead, give it a try."
Master Shao blushed and tried to stop her. "It's really not necessary."
But Lu Shaoqing pulled him aside. "Master, stop meddling."
Xia Yu chuckled. "It's alright, I'll give it a taste."
Bian Rourou, pulling Fang Xiao along, said to Lu Shaoqing, "You don't mind if we join in, do you?"
Lu Shaoqing replied, "If you're not afraid to die, go ahead."
Xiao Yi wanted to warn them, but a stern look from Lu Shaoqing kept her silent.
Ji Yan stood by without saying anything, watching the three women closely.
He seemed curious as well.
Bian Rourou found it odd as she inhaled the fragrant aroma. "It smells really good. Why doesn't Master Shao want us to eat it?"
Fang Xiao, the owner of a restaurant, was amazed. "I didn't expect Master Shao's cooking to be this good."
"I'll go first," Bian Rourou said, her impatience getting the better of her, and she took a bite.
Fang Xiao, curious to compare Master Shao's cooking with that of her own chefs, quickly followed suit.
The moment they tasted the food, both of their expressions changed.
In no time, just like Xiao Yi earlier, their faces turned pale with extreme nausea.
They couldn't hold it in and hurriedly ran to the side to vomit.
Seeing Bian Rourou and Fang Xiao throw up, Xiao Yi couldn't help herself either.
That disgusting feeling was triggered again, and she ran off to retch as well.
In an instant, three out of the four women were vomiting.
Master Shao's face turned red with embarrassment. He wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
He hoped Senior Sister An wouldn't mind too much.
"I need to keep improving my cooking skills," Master Shao thought, his gaze falling on Xia Yu.
But then he was stunned.
Xia Yu wasn't like the others, who were disgusted to the point of throwing up.
Not only did she not vomit, but she was also eating nonstop, enjoying the food as if it were a gourmet meal.
Lu Shaoqing was stunned, as was Ji Yan.
The three of them—Master Shao and his two disciples—looked at Xia Yu in astonishment.
Seeing Xia Yu like this, Master Shao's confidence returned.
He tentatively asked, "Xia Yu, you’re… you’re okay?"
Xia Yu nodded. "I'm fine. Master Shao, did you really make this?"
Master Shao nodded, his face showing an awkward smile. "My skills are still a bit lacking; I must have made a fool of myself."
But Xia Yu seriously said, "It’s delicious, really good."
"Master Shao, your cooking is almost as good as Uncle An's."
Master Shao brightened, his eyes lighting up. "Really?"
"Of course! I wouldn't lie to you, Master Shao."
Lu Shaoqing and Ji Yan exchanged glances.
"Scary!" Ji Yan muttered.
Being able to stomach his master's cooking—there was no other word for it.
Ji Yan admired the strong.
Lu Shaoqing was amazed as well. This woman was truly terrifying.
He said to Xia Yu, "Senior Sister Xia, you don’t have to force yourself. If you really can’t take it, you can be like them. There's no shame in it."
"My master's cooking is on par with a poison of the highest level; no one would blame you if you couldn’t handle it."
Xia Yu blinked, confused by Lu Shaoqing's words. "Junior Brother Lu, I don’t understand what you mean."
"The food is indeed delicious, just like Uncle An's cooking."
Lu Shaoqing was shocked. "They all threw up, and you can still hold it in?"
If she could withstand it, her tolerance was terrifying.
Even Ji Yan, his senior brother, couldn’t handle their master’s cooking.
If this woman could, what could you call it but terrifying?
Xia Yu shook her head. "Rourou and the others are just overreacting. She acts the same way when eating Uncle An's food."
Bian Rourou, crying on the side, said, "Senior Sister, it’s really disgusting. Ugh."
"It’s just like Uncle An’s."
"Why aren’t you affected? Ugh."
Bian Rourou was on the verge of tears, unable to believe that Master Shao's cooking was just as unforgettable as Uncle An Qianyan's.
Master Shao, delighted, asked, "So you think Uncle An's cooking is delicious too?"
Xia Yu nodded. "It’s quite good, much better than the average spiritual chef."
Fang Xiao, tears streaming from vomiting, looked at Lu Shaoqing and finally understood why he preferred to order takeout.
She also realized why he was so particular about his food.
With a master like that, what choice did he have?
Lu Shaoqing was speechless as he watched Xia Yu try each dish on the table, savoring them with great enjoyment.
Soon, Xia Yu looked at Lu Shaoqing. "Junior Brother Lu, do I need to keep eating?"
"I’m already full, and if I eat any more, I might not be able to take it."
Looking at Xia Yu, Lu Shaoqing didn’t know what to say.
He had to admit, she was someone who could eat his master’s cooking without batting an eye.
He had no choice but to accept it.
"Alright, when do we head out?"
