Swallowed Star: Food Shocks the Universe

Facing Luo Feng's curious eyes, Xue Xi sat down on the futon in his retreat room without hesitation and explained calmly: "Third brother, this is the latest dish I researched, ham. Do you want to guess its effect?"

Hearing Xue Xi say this, Luo Feng suddenly became interested. He has always been very curious about Xue Xi's magical dishes. What kind of incredible effect will this new dish have?

Seeing Luo Feng's thoughtful expression, Xue Xi leaned her hands behind her back and said with a playful smile: "I'll give you a hint. The effect of this dish is comparable to the store's gold medal dishes such as braised pork, and the effect is so amazing that I won't sell it."

Luo Feng looked at the plastic bag in his hand in shock. Could the dishes this time actually have that level of effect? ​​The effects of dishes like braised pork and Wensi tofu were enough to make the entire universe boil.

What kind of effect could make Fourth Sister speak so highly of it?

Luo Feng proposed several ideas in succession, but Xue Xi smiled and shook her head and rejected them all. In the end, he was so itchy that he gave up his guess and said, "Fourth sister, I really can't think of what the effect will be. Don't keep me in suspense. Just tell me!"

The teasing was almost over, and Xue Xi stopped beating around the bush and sat up straight with a serious face and said: "The effect of this Nuodeng ham is very simple, that is fraud!"

"Fraud?" Luo Feng repeated with a puzzled look on his face. He thought over and over in his mind how powerful this effect could be. Finally, he scratched his head and looked at Xue Xi uncertainly.

"Fourth sister, are you sure this is the effect? ​​Then isn't it a bit exaggerated to say that it can be compared with those gold medal dishes? It's just a fraud. Isn't it something that an illusionist can do?"

Xue Xi knew Luo Feng was thinking wrongly, and patted him in amusement: "If the effect is just this little, how can I dare to say it can compare with those dishes?"

Then she stood up, walked to Luo Feng, took the big ham in his hand, and peeled off the packaging bag covering it, revealing the rosy ham meat underneath. Because it had been dried in the sun for a long time, it did not emit a strong aroma.

Luo Feng, who was born after the Great Nirvana, had never heard of this kind of food. He sniffed it in disbelief and said, "Fourth sister, this doesn't look like something you made. Why does it smell tasteless? Can it be delicious?"

Xue Xi ignored Luo Feng who had changed the subject. She only cared about the taste of the food and would be honest after trying it. She just kept talking about the true face of the fraudulent effect.

"The deception I'm talking about is not the ordinary means of deceiving the enemy with illusions. Its target of deception is the Tao, the will of the universe, and the rules!"

Luo Feng, who was still thinking about how to eat ham, heard Xue Xi's high-sounding words. He blinked and shifted his gaze from the ham to Xue Xi: "The goal is Tao? The will of the universe? Rules? What do you mean?"

Luo Feng was not a stupid person. If it hadn't been for the spiritual master Jin Zhu's mischief, he might have gone to military school. So he carefully pondered these words in his mind and then connected them to the word "fraud", with an incredible look in his eyes.

What he knew now was the information about the original universe's will that he had learned from his teacher Zuo Shanke through the first piece of paper engraved with the "Nine Tribulations Secret Book". If, as Xue Xi said, eating this food called ham could deceive and conceal the past detection of the original universe's will, what a terrifying ability this would be!

Xue Xi saw the shock in Luo Feng's eyes and knew that he had understood the power of this effect. She was not in a hurry to speak, and tempted Luo Feng like a little devil: "Third brother, this ham is not only powerful, but also tastes great. Do you want to try it?"

Now, under the suppression of the original universe, Luo Feng cannot say anything about the "Nine Tribulations Secret Book". As long as the two of them eat the ham, they can temporarily isolate the barrier of the original universe's will, and then they can speak freely!

Luo Feng's current mood is just like you who just received a package. He can't suppress the desire to explore. So he didn't reject Xue Xi's proposal, but consciously took out a set of tableware, tables and chairs from the world ring and placed them between the two of them: "Okay."

The two men sat on the futons on both sides of the small table. Then the Dragon Soul Sword appeared in Xue Xi's hand, and the golden blade afterimage flashed in front of Luo Feng. He didn't have time to react at all, and saw a piece of ham disappear, as if it turned into snowflakes and fell into the plates in front of the two men.

Looking at the ruddy slices of meat on the plate, Luo Feng saw that Xue Xi had stopped moving, and asked in confusion: "Fourth sister, don't you want to pair it with some dipping sauce? Are you just going to eat it like this?"

Xue Xi nodded affirmatively: "Don't worry, Third Brother, the ham has been air-dried. This is nature's cooking skill. It will be absolutely delicious if you eat it in its original flavor!"

After saying that, she took the lead in picking up the bamboo chopsticks, picked up the appropriately thick slices of ham and put them into her mouth. The lean but not dry, fat but not greasy meat rolled along her lips and teeth as she chewed it. With the effect of time, the taste hidden in the meat was instantly released, teasing every nerve of hers.

Seeing that even Xue Xi, who was so picky, was eating with such relish, Luo Feng on the opposite side couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Without hesitation, he also put the meat slices on the plate into his mouth.

In an instant, a bomb of sweet, salty meat flavor exploded in Luo Feng's mouth. Luo Feng's eyes widened instantly. He didn't expect that this seemingly inconspicuous piece of meat actually contained such a flavor. Moreover, as he chewed, the meat flavor did not fade, but became more intense. Even his original intention of just experimenting with the fraud effect was thrown out of the window.

Unconsciously, the meat slices on their plates had already been eaten up. Luo Feng finished the last slice and poked the plate with a feeling of being unsatisfied: "Fourth sister, please have some more. This little meat is not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth."

Xue Xi raised the corner of her mouth at this time, and the too-short map of Yan State revealed a dagger: "Third brother, you can eat it, but you can't eat this feast for free~"

Luo Feng looked over with an I-knows-what expression on his face: "Tell me, what do you need me to do? For this meal, I, your third brother, will fight for it!" As he spoke, he gestured with his fist.

Xue Xi leaned forward slightly and placed her lips next to Luo Feng's ear: "Third brother, I also want to practice the "Nine Tribulations Secret Book"!"

This sentence struck Luo Feng's ears like thunder. His fist stayed in the air and he looked at the smiling Xue Xi with horror. He couldn't remember when he had ever told anyone about the "Nine Tribulations Secret Book". So how did his fourth sister know about it?

He swallowed hard and asked, "Fourth sister, how did you know I have the 'Nine Tribulations Secret Book'?"
