Qu Feiyan was carried by Shi Potian, soaring through the clouds at breakneck speed. This was probably what the ancients meant by "living in the air in vain."

The two quickly flew out of the Liu residence, passed through several rows of houses, and soon landed on the roof of a courtyard, which looked like the back courtyard of a large mansion.

Shi Potian only caught a glimpse of a red lantern hanging at the entrance of the courtyard. There were several more houses in the distance beyond the wall, and at this moment, there was a great deal of noise and strange sounds coming from time to time.

But he didn't care.

As soon as they settled in, a rich aroma of food and wine wafted out of the room. Light shone from inside, and the sounds of the cook busily working could be heard. Soon after, someone carried food and wine to the front yard.

Shi Potian suddenly realized and whispered in the little girl's ear:

"Oh, so this is a restaurant! That young lady is here to eat."

Qu Feiyan smiled and asked, "Little brother, which restaurant is so popular so late at night?"

She tiptoed and whispered in Shi Potian's ear:

"This is the place in Hengyang City that men like to go to the most."

"Isn't the place men like to go most often a restaurant?"

Shi Potian looked puzzled.

Qu Feiyan couldn't help but chuckle; this young man was just too naive.

"Looks like the young man is really hungry. Let's eat something first, then go find someone."

"But I don't have any money on me to buy food and drinks. Do you have any?"

Young镖头 (Young镖头) always had bodyguards to serve him when he went out, and he was always penniless.

Qu Feiyan waved her small hand:

"This is the wealthiest family in Hengshan City, but they make their money through dirty means."

"The young head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) of the prestigious Fuwei Escort Agency, a rising star in the martial arts world, should he really pay for a few dishes and drinks at their place? That's considered giving them face."

The little girl whispered in his ear, her breath tickling Shi Potian's ears.

He caught a glimpse of her flawless face out of the corner of his eye and thought to himself: Feifei will definitely be even prettier than Dingdingdangdang when she grows up.

Shi Potian was a little embarrassed by what was said and quickly replied:

"Feifei, stop teasing me. Are we going to eat and run away without paying?"

Back when he was a "dog bastard," he didn't have money to buy steamed buns, so he would just grab some from the shop and run away.

"No need to run. Your martial arts are even better than my grandfather's. Just go down to the kitchen and get some wine and food. How could that be difficult for you?"

Feifei looked at Shi Potian with a serious expression.

Shi Potian was taken aback.

He had never actually used his profound martial arts skills to steal food. He'd always given money to that bastard when he found food at Shangqing Temple before, but he'd never imagined it could be done so directly.

With his current martial arts skills, let alone the few cooks below, even ordinary martial arts masters would not be able to find a trace of him.

Shi Potian rubbed his hands together and laughed:

"Feifei, you're so smart. I'll go in and get some food and drinks, you wait for me upstairs."

He didn't feel ashamed at all for stealing vegetables; on the contrary, he was quite excited.

As soon as he finished speaking, he used the "Hidden Body and Name" lightness skill from Xia Ke Dao, his body seemingly blending into the night, silently descending into the courtyard, and in the blink of an eye, he was already in the kitchen below.

Qu Feiyan's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Just as Shi Potian finished speaking, he vanished from her side without a trace, as if he had evaporated into thin air.

Such a secret technique for invisibility exists in the world? That's unbelievable.

She quickly and gently lifted a roof tile, and looking down, she saw bright lights and rising heat immediately pouring out from the gap.

Blinking her eyes, which were stung by the heat, she looked again and saw that the spacious kitchen resembled a grand palace, brightly lit and impeccably clean.

There were seven or eight stoves lined up in a row, each with a roaring flame and various pots and pans on it. A dozen or so cooks were busy around the stoves, sweating profusely.

Feifei glanced around but couldn't see Shi Potian at all.

Just as I was wondering what was going on, my gaze was drawn to the largest stove in the center. There was an enormous steamer there, with layers upon layers, probably more than a dozen, bubbling and steaming.

Through the gaps in the steamer, you can vaguely see that it contains steamed pork wrapped in lotus leaves. The rich aroma of the pork mixed with the fragrance of lotus leaves wafts out from here.

Feifei swallowed hard, not because she was greedy, but because she suddenly noticed that the steamer seemed to be shorter than when she first saw it, and her heart skipped a beat.

At that moment, on a nearby stove, a burly cook was wielding a large iron pot, with flames churning inside.

With a swift flick of his wrist, the ingredients in the pot soared into the air and then fell precisely back into the pot. With a sizzle, a fragrant aroma burst forth, revealing that he was making braised fish.

Qu Feiyan's mouth watered as she watched.

Before long, the dish was cooked, plated, and placed on the side of the stove. Fei Fei stared intently at the dish, not daring to blink.

Suddenly, the dish vanished into thin air. Looking down from her vantage point, she couldn't see how it disappeared and couldn't help but gasp in shock.

He thought to himself: It really was the young man who did it. Is he a human or a ghost?

Before she could figure it out, someone gently touched her shoulder.

Feifei was startled and turned around to see that Shi Potian had returned to the roof at some point, carrying a steamer in one hand and a jar of wine in the other, looking at her with a smile.

"Let's go, Feifei, this is enough for us to have a meal."

Shi Potian lowered his voice, his face full of smugness.

In the darkness, Fei Fei could vaguely make out Shi Potian's young, handsome face, still bearing a hint of childishness. Unable to believe what she had just seen, she swallowed hard and asked:

"Hey bro, are you a human or a ghost? I can't see a trace of you in the kitchen!"

Shi Potian chuckled, about to answer, when a scream suddenly came from the kitchen below:

"What the hell! The braised fish I just cooked and left here is gone!"

"Your food is gone too? My freshly made roast chicken is gone too, what happened!" another voice shouted.

"The Drunken Immortal Brew is gone too! I just saw it on the shelf, how could it suddenly be gone?"

This is the last jar of Drunken Immortal Wine in Qunyu Academy. A great hero paid a hefty price specifically for it. How am I going to explain this now?!

A mournful voice called out from the corner of the kitchen.

"There must have been a thief! Go tell Mama Wei!"

The kitchen beneath my feet instantly descended into chaos.

Feifei Chongshi Potian made a face, meaning: Look what you've done.

Shi Potian remained unfazed, not feeling that stealing some wine and meat was anything shameful.

Although Xie Yanke had told him that taking without permission was theft, he had never begged when he was a beggar; he would just take and eat. Today, he was returning to his old ways.

Feifei reached out and took the wine jar from Shi Potian's hand, asking softly, "Where are the fish and roast chicken? I haven't seen them."

Shi Potian pointed to the steamer, indicating that everything was placed inside.

Feifei gave a thumbs up and smiled:

"Young Master Lin, you're quite the thief! Your speed and skill are truly admirable. Now that we have wine and meat, let's make a quick getaway. I'll take you somewhere to enjoy your meal at your leisure."

Shi Potian didn't understand what "gentleman on the roof beam" meant, assuming the little girl was praising him. He nodded, took Feifei's arm with one hand, and asked:

"How do I get there?"

Feifei pointed to a spot not far away.

Shi Potian looked around and saw that the courtyard below was not far away. He immediately leaped over and floated over like a wisp of smoke.

Meanwhile, deep within the Qunyu Courtyard, a girl in red had finished dressing up and changed into an alluring red dress.
