“What would you like to learn, and for how long?”
Zhou, the housekeeper, placed a dish of food in front of Zhang Tian Shou, her cloudy eyes sparkling with excitement.
Hearing this, Zhang Tian Shou's eyes showed a hint of worry.
“It's not the length of time I’m worried about, but whether the teacher is willing to teach!”
The benefits of following a great human sage in their growth were immeasurable.
But since the ancient God Ascension, all the major sects had become close-mouthed and possessive.
The practice of closing ranks and refusing outsiders was rampant.
Forget about imparting all their knowledge, even allowing you to observe would be an immense favor.
Besides, the sisters had snuck out of the Heavenly Palace for a little fun.
They couldn't casually reveal their identities as Heavenly Palace princesses.
Zhou’s ears perked up, this was good news!
She immediately took charge, making a forceful promise.
“Don’t worry, girl. With me around, if he dares to refuse, I’ll break his legs!”
“Really, thank you, Zhou! You’ll definitely live to be three hundred years old!”
Zhang Tian Shou had witnessed Zhou’s intimidating presence towards Chen Fan.
She immediately made a promise to Zhou.
Extending lifespan was something a Heavenly Palace princess could do.
As long as there was enough merit and fortune, not only could she extend Zhou’s lifespan, but she could even help her achieve a celestial body and ascend to the Jade Pool to become a fairy.
“Oh, you’re definitely a lady from a wealthy family. You have such a sweet mouth!”
Seeing the two of them getting along so well, Zhang Tian Xian scratched his cheek in confusion.
He nudged Zhang Tian Yu, who was sitting beside him, and whispered.
“Seventh Sister, I feel like Big Sister and Zhou’s words are a bit off!”
“Mmm, hmm, hmm!”
Zhang Tian Yu nodded repeatedly, but didn’t say a word, just kept stuffing food into her mouth.
Seeing this, Zhang Tian Xian forgot about the strange feeling and started to devour food.
“Seventh Sister, you’ve eaten enough. I’ll share with you!”
“Fifth Sister, you’re going too far! I saw the spare ribs first!”
“Zhou, don’t laugh. Fifth Sister, Seventh Sister, you have no manners at all! What a mess!”
Seeing his two sisters with bulging cheeks, Zhang Tian Shou felt a surge of frustration.
They didn’t understand their elder sister’s intentions at all, just focused on eating.
Could a little bit of food be compared to the merit and fortune brought by the new human sage!
“Big Lady, you try this too. You wouldn’t believe it.
This iron wok fried dish is so fragrant. Especially this wok of Xiao Fan’s.
The town’s wealthy gentleman offered thirty guan for it, but Xiao Fan refused to sell!”
Zhou, with a motherly smile, kept serving Zhang Tian Shou food.
Zhang Tian Shou nodded in agreement, saying.
“Thirty guan for this wok? That person must be delusional!”
A sacred artifact of merit, thirty guan was a ridiculously low price. They must be dreaming.
They should be afraid of not being able to handle the pressure of the merit and being backlashed by the fortune!
“Yes, yes, yes, that’s exactly what Xiao Fan said at the time.
I tell you, you guys who have read books are different!”
Zhou nodded repeatedly, liking the match between Zhang Tian Shou and Chen Fan even more.
After tasting the food, Zhang Tian Shou’s eyes lit up.
The Heavenly Palace’s fine wine and delicacies were good, but their flavors were too light.
They couldn’t compare to the flavorful dishes of the mortal realm.
Most importantly, after being cooked in the merit iron wok, the impurities in the food were removed, completely eliminating the need to refine them with spiritual power.
For a moment, chopsticks flew across the table, and the four dishes and one soup were devoured in an instant.
After eating and drinking their fill, Zhou grabbed Chen Fan by the ear and sent him out with Da Zhuang.
“Zhou, this is my home, why do I have to leave!”
“No buts. Can the young lady share a room with you? Go, go sleep at Da Zhuang’s tonight. Don’t get ahead of yourself!”
And just like that, Chen Fan and Da Zhuang were kicked out of the house.
“What do you mean Zhou, what do you mean ‘get ahead of myself’?”
“Sigh, A Fan, I understand!”
Da Zhuang patted Chen Fan on the chest, winked, and then took him home, looking very suggestive.
Chen Fan held his slightly heated forehead. Although the rustic wine was not very strong, Chen Fan was not a heavy drinker, so he felt a bit tipsy and mumbled.
“I feel like you guys are hiding something from me!”
“Zhou, we sisters are actually cultivators, we can meditate!”
Zhang Tian Shou licked her lips, a little unsatisfied, revealing her cultivator identity.
Chen Fan had asked for her help in dealing with the River God.
Her cultivator identity couldn’t be hidden, so Zhang Tian Shou simply admitted it.
Zhou nodded, she didn’t know what cultivators were.
In Zhou’s opinion, Zhang Tian Shou was clearly reluctant to part with her lover.
So Zhou held Zhang Tian Shou’s hand and earnestly advised her.
“Oh, Big Lady, girls should be more reserved!”
“Reserved? What kind of reserved?”
Zhang Tian Shou was stunned, not understanding how this was related to being reserved.
Zhou, on the other hand, adopted a mysterious “I know everything” look, leaving Zhang Tian Shou puzzled.
However, Zhou didn’t explain, and Zhang Tian Shou didn’t dwell on it.
After Zhou had cleaned up the dishes, Zhang Tian Yu eagerly returned to the Heavenly Realm.
The next day, Chen Fan went home to make breakfast, only to find Zhang Tian Shou and Zhang Tian Xian.
He looked around but couldn’t find Zhang Tian Yu, and asked with confusion.
“Where’s Seventh Lady?”
