I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53: Chapter 42 Shy Shen Zhixia, Moves All Directions! (2-in-1 Chapter)

Chen Manor Dining Hall.

The table was already fully set, and the kitchen was still continuously serving dishes. The maids carried plate after plate of delicacies into the dining hall, piled up like a pagoda.

The food was rich and luscious, and the fragrances wafted, enticing one’s appetite merely by the smell.

"Zhixia, try this. This is the Green Feather Chicken Soup from Nan County, it’s beautifying and nourishing."

"Here’s the Stir-fried Snow Beef, very beneficial for Martial Artists."

"And this rice fried with Blue Falcon Eggs..."

He Yuzhi enthusiastically served Shen Zhixia dishes, introducing them like prized treasures.

Creatures from the skies, the lands, and the seas, a plethora of types, dazzling array... and the ingredients used were all entry-level Alien Beasts, their rich essence qi could be felt even from afar.

Shen Zhixia’s throat moved slightly, and she couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.

Since leaving Martial Saint Mountain, she had been eating only ordinary food, with barely any essence qi left after refinement... Back on the mountain, if she wanted to eat Alien Beasts, she could catch and roast them herself, but now in Tiandu City, everything required silver.

However, in the presence of Mrs. Chen, she was too embarrassed to indulge, eating with small, graceful bites, appearing quite the dignified lady.

"What day is it today, celebrating New Year’s early?"

Chen Mo entered the dining hall, looking at the feast before him, puzzled: "The two of you are eating all these dishes?"

He Yuzhi gave him a look, "What do you know? The cultivation techniques of Martial Saint Mountain focus on refining essence into qi, returning to the origin, which means fast digestion, naturally one eats more. Our family isn’t short of this, we can’t let your wife go hungry, right?"

"Wi-wife?!"

Shen Zhixia’s cheeks suddenly flushed red, somewhat flustered.

Refining Essence into Qi?

Chen Mo was slightly stunned.

So this girl eats so much because of her cultivation technique?

No wonder she eats so much yet her belly remains flat, he thought her stomach was a Space Magical Treasure.

"Aunt, last time I came in a hurry and didn’t prepare anything..."

Enduring her shyness, Shen Zhixia took out a rosewood box from her bosom, handing it over to He Yuzhi with both hands, "A small token from the younger generation, I hope Aunt will graciously accept."

"You came all the way here, bringing gifts too."

He Yuzhi smiled, reaching out to take it, opened the lid, and saw a pure white pearl lying quietly on red silk, its color and lustre like jade, emitting a faint fragrance.

"This is..."

"This is a Youth-Preserving Pearl, I obtained it accidentally during my travels down the mountain."

Shen Zhixia explained, "Though it won’t make one forever youthful, wearing it close to the body over time can also maintain one’s youth and extend lifespan."

"Aunt is blooming like a flower, radiant and elegant, naturally doesn’t need such a thing, but consider it a modest gift."

Youth-Preserving Pearl...

He Yuzhi looked surprised.

This was a top-notch rarity, something money can’t buy!
