Chapter 539 — Chapter 539 A Single Bed

After their short conversation, Senior Wang left the scene while Yuan and Meixiu made their way to the Silver Restaurant.

Five minutes later, they arrive before a medium-sized building that was painted metallic white, making it appear to be made out of silver.

They quickly went inside, and to their surprise, it was completely empty.

In fact, there were only two tables in the whole building— a small square table with two seats and a large round table with 8 seats.

"I don’t recognize either of you. Are you new?" The old man standing behind the reception asked them.

"Yes, today is our first day at the Jaded Garden," said Yuan."

"Then you probably don’t know this, but we only serve those training at the immortal caves," he said.

"We are training at the immortal caves," Yuan said, surprising the old man.

After all, how can someone who’d just joined the faction receive the privilege to train at the immortal caves— on their first day, no less.

Meixiu could tell that the old man didn’t believe them based on his expression, so she said, "Yuan, show him the medallion you got from Senior Wang."

Yuan nodded and retrieved the medallion, showing it to the old man.

The old man was completely speechless now. Even if he didn’t want to believe it, he had to before the presence of the medallion.

The old man then straightened his back and bowed to them, "I apologize for doubting you two. Please forgive me."

Yuan nodded and said, "We’re just here for some food."

"Of course! Tell me what you’d like to eat and I’ll cook something for you." The old man said.

"Do you have a menu?" Yuan then asked.

"Nope! I can cook almost anything as long as I have the ingredients. Even if I don’t have all of the ingredients, I will somehow manage," said the old man in a confident voice.

"Anything?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.

He wasn’t sure what he wanted to eat.

"Then how about you cook us your best dish— or whatever you recommend?" Yuan said after pondering for a moment.

"Sure thing! Give me about twenty minutes since everything will be cooked fresh. In the meantime, you can do whatever. Oh, one more thing. Would you like to eat here or would you like the food to go?"

"To go."

"I understand."

The old man then went to the back of the room and proceeded to cook.

Meanwhile, Yuan and Meixiu went outside to smell the fresh air alongside the old man’s cooking that grew more delicious as time went on.

About twenty minutes later, they went back inside to grab the food.

"What’s your name? People call me Chef San."

"You can call me Yuan."

"Feng," Meixiu said.

"Yuan and Feng, huh? What unique names. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the food. I’ll see you two tomorrow."

After getting their food, Yuan and Meixiu returned to their immortal caves, their mouth salivating the entire time as they couldn’t wait to taste whatever Chef San cooked, as the fragrance just smelled too good.

Once they returned home, they immediately opened the food, and to their surprise, there was a lot of food— more than one would anticipate for two people.

"Why did he give us so much food? Does he really expect two of us to eat all of this?" Meixiu mumbled, as there were enough to feed four— even five people.

"Maybe he was feeling generous since it’s our first day here," Yuan said, not thinking too much about it.

Thus, they began eating the food shortly after.

"Heavens! The flavor is indescribably delicious! I have never tasted food this amazing before outside of Cultivation Online!" Yuan exclaimed after taking his first bite.

Meixiu nodded her head in agreement.

Besides the food at the Dragon Pavilion, nothing could compare to Chef San’s cooking skills.

The food was so amazing that Meixiu was wondering if she should ask the old man to teach her how to cook better.

Of course, Meixiu is a pretty amazing cook herself, but compared to Chef San who has decades of cooking experience within a cultivation family, the disparity was too vast, and it wasn’t fair to compare them.

"I’m definitely going back tomorrow morning for breakfast," Yuan said after they finished eating all of the food.

"You can really eat..."

Even though she already knew about his massive appetite, it was still surprising to see him eat so much food.

Sometime later, after washing their face and brushing their teeth, they went to the bedroom to sleep.

However, there was a problem.

"There’s only one bed...?"

Yuan and Meixiu stood before the only bed in the entire place.

After all, immortal caves were built with a single person in mind, since they are mostly for training, and most people cultivate alone, so there wasn’t any need for a second bed.

"At least it’s big enough to fit both of us," Yuan said.

"I-It’s okay, I can sleep outside," Meixiu said.

Although she had slept on the same bed with him on the airplane, she had the courage to do so only because it was for a single day. Doing so for many days was too much for her at the moment.

"That’s not good. I don’t mind even if you sleep with me, and where are you going to sleep outside? There are no couches." Yuan said, not minding that he has to sleep with Meixiu, as they have already done it once.

"..."

Meixiu didn’t know how to respond to his question since she’d said such words without thinking about it.

Yuan then got inside the bed and under the blankets before patting the space beside him.

"Come, sleep with me," he said in a calm voice.

Meixiu sighed inwardly. Although she had thought him some common sense, there are some things that cannot be taught through words alone.

Meixiu eventually gave up and entered the bed with Yuan, spending the rest of the night together in the same bed.
