Long Shin's cooking & Liu Minger sensing mana
"Couldn't you bring them out without any covering" Liu Minger pointed as she said even through she behaved like this she didn't mind if the food was not tasty just the fact that her man was willing to cook for her was more then enough.
Even if the dishes were not tasty she would still eat them for he was the one who cooked for her.
"Why don't you guess what I made for you" he smiled as he touched her nose while gently placing the tray on the said.
"I don't know why don't you show me".
"With pleasure my lady" he behaved like a waiter as he uncovered the dishes.
The heavenly scent of the dish assaulted her nose as her eyes feasted on them, what came in front of her eyes was a bowl full of soup and fried pork ribs.
The color of soup was not dull like usual instead appeared as through the soup was shining while pieces of pork was mix within it both the pork in the soup and the fried pork rib were golden in color instead of red just the scent of the food was mouth-watering.
"I see that you don't just have a mouth watering body, my love" Liu Minger said with Coyness.
He only smiled in response and bent down as he took a spoonful of soup gently blowing on it, he be brought it to her small mouth.
"Try it" Seeing him being so caring towards her that he was even helping her eat made butterflies float in her stomach.
"Umm" At first she only dazzlingly eat as she was immerse in his otherworldly face but when the soup touched her tongue…The explosive taste of the soup assaulted her taste buds.
Her eyes began to shine with luster as she slowly enjoyed the soup.
"So delicious, it's taste so good" Liu Minger exclaimed loudly, she had always eat food cooked by their family's chef who also happened to be a master chef winning many awards for his cooking while the soup she drank was ten if not hundred times more better then him.
It wasn't just because of Long Shin's cooking skills but also because the meat given by the system was 100% purified meaning it didn't have any impurities whatsoever.
Everything has impurities from herbs, meat to pills and equipment having impurities not only lowers the effects of that said item but also effects the taste If it's consumable commodity.
"Eat slowly" Long Shin then took a fried pork rib to her mouth.
Liu Minger nodded as she began to nibble on the peace of meat.
'Magic Beast Meat' she looked at the meat in front of her then at the soup that was also filled with same meat as she exclaimed inwardly.
Having lived in the Liu Family which one of the Hegemonic families in Beijing she had a few opportunities to eat magic beast meat.
The meat of a magic beast was a rare commodity in the underworld as well as a pricey ingredient the price also depended on which magic beast the meat came from.
One has to know that not every magic beast meat was edible to humans so for that reason the price of magic beast meat soured adding the fact that various meat gave various benefit after eating with the most obvious being help in cultivation.
She too had eaten them on a few occasion but no matter how many times she eat she didn't see any effect on her cultivation.
'Pity-' Liu Minger inwardly sighted even thought she was young miss of the Liu Family she couldn't afford to eat magic beast meat on a wimp nor any one else in the family for that matter, she sighted giving such a precious treasure to her who couldn't even cultivate was nothing but straight waste of precious resources if it was given to someone else in the Liu Family maybe they would've been able to breakthrough one minor rank.
"I can't cultivate so giving me such a precious is but a waste" after seeing the meat from magic beast Liu Minger was sure that Long Shin was a Magister so she didn't hide and told him her inability to cultivate but her head was down as if fearing to look into his eyes fearing that the eyes which looked at her with warmth might look at her with disgust and disappointment so she lowered her head.
The words of mockery and gaze filled with disdain she prepared herself for didn't came instead…
Long Shin raised her head with one of his hand he looked at her eyes which were moist and looked as thought tears would fall any second he felt his heart ache when he saw her like this, he didn't give her time to respond as his lips pressed on her lips tightly sealing them he cherished her long cerulean blue hairs as he Immersed himself in the kiss Liu Minger was no better she held his head with both of her hands as she kissed him in response.
"Be it as a Mortal or an Immortal know that I will always love you" his words that came out of his mouth was like an oasis In the dessert, like a bacon of light in the place filled with nothing but darkness.
"If you are unable to cultivate then I will divide my own
(AN: More knowledge regarding
"I will never allow you to do something like that Long Shin" it seemed as through Liu Minger knew what were the consequences of playing with
"Relax love, its not set in stone that you can't cultivate" Seeing her stern gaze Long Shin's heart was filled with warmth knowing that she cared for him so much gave him a sense of happiness, although he assured her but Liu Minger didn't know that if the matter really went that far then he wouldn't hesitate to bet on his
"Its okay I was born this way the heavens made me like this" Liu Minger showed a bitter smile as she said this.
"How about if we try?"
"But our family alchemist Chu said that-" even before Liu Minger completed her sentence Long Shin stopped her by placing his index finger on her lips.
"If I want my women to cultivate even the heavens can't stop me let alone the low knowledge of some riffraff" each and every word was said with utter confidence.
*Groough*
The noise of Liu Minger's hungry belly disturbed them.
"Ha, ha, ha, Let's first finish this food after that I will bring you to cultivate okay" he smiled gently at her as he resumed helping her to eat.
"Umm, is there anything that you can't do xiaoshin?" This man in front of her was a perfect husband material.
'He is caring, knows how to cook, cares for his women like a princess, handsome beyond words and is a beast when it comes to night duties' she exclaimed inwardly as she tried to count Long Shin's good points while for the last point she practically screamed inside her mind as she remembered their passionate lovemaking.
"It's not like I'm good in everything" He might seemed perfect but to him who knew himself the best he knew that there were many points that could be even better and that he could improve even more.
The couple chatted with each other until Liu Minger finished the soup and fried pork ribs, Long Shin gave her a glass of water then patiently cleaned her mouth with a napkin.
"If you take care of me like a baby, you'll probably spoil me rotten" she said feeling him care for her.
"My women deserves to be spoiled if anyone has a problem with it they can come to me and I'll make sure to 'patiently explain' to them " even through she said that as a joke she could see seriousness in both his eyes and his voice.
" my love, how about we start your training as a Magister?" Long Shin said with a calm tone but that calm tone of his shocked Liu Minger.
She was shocked when he brought that matter that she only took as a joke , as one of the Hegemonic families in Beijing Liu Family of course has their own team of Magisters and quite a few experts, all of the core members of the Liu Family are experts including her father, mother, brother and, other siblings, etc. For that matter.
When Liu Minger showed her talent on business and her sharp mind, the family members thought that she was gifted, but as the saying goes heavens are jealous of genius.
She had Talent in business, a sharp mind, and beauty akin to fairy but doesn't have any talent for being a Magister, no matter how many or how precious resources the family invested in her she couldn't feel or gather mana inside her being.
The Liu Family was not like other Family who only care about benefits, instead they are more united and care for each other which could be seen by the fact that her parents, family elders didn't get displeased by her low talent in cultivation instead gave her even more resources, even her siblings gave her a little from their share of resources, but as she found that she didn't have the talent for being a Magister and it was nothing but pure waste to get anymore resources she stopped her family from investing even more on her instead she began to focus on their family business.
Xu Xiaosi for that matter was also a Black-Iron rank Magister with low talent, he only got into Black-Iron relying on the enormous amount of precious resources he got from his family.
"You too are a Magister right Xiao Shin" although she asked it as a question with all that happened until now she was already 100% sure that Long Shin in front of her is a Magister.
Instead of answering her he raised his palm and a crimson flame began to dance on it, it would be more precise to say that it was his mana that has gathered on top of his palm.
Liu Minger seeing this was both happy and sad.
She was happy because her man was such a genius, happy that sometime in the future he will shine like a star in the night sky but was sad that she won't be accompanying him, as a normal person she could only live for a hundred years at most with the help of heavenly and earthly treasures that period could be extended to five hundred to one thousand years but Long Shin as a Magister was destined to live for thousands of years to come.
When one becomes a magister at the 1st layer of Black-Iron rank their lifespan will increase by 50 years which will keep stacking as one breakthrough to the next layer at the peak of Black-Iron their Lifespan will become 500 years while those who reached
Long Shin too as he breakthrough to the next layers and Ranks will have his lifespan increased while she will become bones in a few hundred years just thinking about it pains her she wasn't scared of death but was feeling pain for the knowing that she wont be able to accompany him on his journey.
"Love why don't you try to feel mana, one doesn't requires any cultivation technique to feel mana" he said in a calm tone.
"I don't have a talent for cultivation and can't feel mana" Liu Minger said in a bitter tone while the corner of her eyes were a little moist.
"Minger please trust me and try to feel the mana in the surrounding" he gently cleaned her eyes as he cherished her cheeks while he spoke.
"Okay" even through she knew he would be disappointed she still tried to do as he told her maybe in a corner of her heart she too had hope that a miracle would occur.
She sat on the ground cross legged and closed her eyes as she tried to sense her surroundings for energy of nature.
Mana was referred to here is not a specific energy, but every energy that exists was collectively called mana be it spiritual, astral, celestial, etc.
She didn't sense anything even after five seconds just as she was thinking of giving up, in her surrounding which was dark suddenly a pristine blue light spark appeared, in a little to no time one after another colorful sparks appeared blazing red, gentle green, etc. But if we try to see the one with most quantity and quality then that would be the pristine blue light. The light sparks were bigger then the rest while their numbers were also many times that of the rest compared to the other light sparks that had a sense of liveliness in them.
Soon the entire room was covered with the light sparks Liu Minger was shocked as she opened her eyes and gazed at the room.
"See" Long Shin's gentle voice sounded near her as through he knew from the start that she would be successful.
She stared at him her tears began to drop down from her eyes.
"Sob, Sob, Sob" She hugged him tightly as she began to cry in his embrace this time he didn't wiped her tears and allowed her to cry while gently patting her head as if coaxing a baby, as she let lose the tears she held for who knows how many years.
In a world filled with mana where cultivation exists knowing that your family, your friends, your siblings can cultivate while you can't. Knowing that in this dog eat dog world you would forever remain weak. Not having the chance to fight for yourself only live in the shadows of your loved ones and watch as they sacrifice for your wellbeing while you being able to do nothing was the worst, it was many times crueler then sentencing someone to die.
Liu Minger could live this long and didn't give up hope for living until now was in and of itself admirable if it was someone else in her stead then the story might've been a little different.
From the moment she was born she was seen as hope in her family which she became by being excellent in everything she did but when she was tested to have no talent whatsoever for cultivation she felt like her world, her will, and her family's hope were all crushed without any mercy.
But her family instead of giving her a look of disgust gave her encouragement, in all the time she felt guilty whenever they smiled at her and encouraged her, guilty for letting down their hopes, and disappointing their expectations for her there were many times that she felt like she would feel a little less guilty if they looked at her with disgust or disappointment but never once did something like this happened, her family instead wasted many kinds of precious resources for her sake her siblings gave her their share if they didn't do this their respective strength would've increased by many times.
To get away from all these feelings and lessen the burden of her family and her guilt she gave her all into the family business so her family will be able to have more resources to cultivate.
But she never let out all the pain and suffering she herself felt for not having strength for forever remaining weak as she held her tears for years.
Now with the coming of mana her tears that she held back flooded like a broken dam.
