Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

"What time is it?" Jiang Bai rubbed his eyes, which were a little hard to open.

"It's 9:30!"

"It's still early, let me sleep a little longer..." Jiang Bai muttered, not wanting to get up.

"Sleep? Everyone's here, we're just waiting for you!"

"Huh? Everything's here?" Jiang Bai regained some of his senses.

"Xiangling and the others have arrived."

Jiang Bai's eyes widened, and he was fully awake.

How did they get there?

How did they get here in such a short time?!

"It flew over..." Hu Tao sighed, hands on her hips.

She wanted to fly over too.

"Huh? It can even fly!" Jiang Bai was completely taken aback.

Why would he bother traveling all the way if he could just fly here?

Where are they?

"They're roasting a whole pig in the mountains!" Hu Tao pointed down where smoke was rising.

"Master, I'm going to find a place to take a bath. I'll come find you later."

Shen He was watching Xiang Ling deal with the wild boar.

Although Xiangling looks cute and obedient, she is clean and efficient when it comes to dealing with wild boars. Not only is her technique skilled, but her cuts are also precise.

She placed the gutted wild boar by the stream and carefully removed its internal organs one by one, placing them into a bowl. These organs were also food and shouldn't be wasted; they could be used to make a stir-fry.

Guoba helped by using the flame to clean the pig skin.

Xingqiu and Chongyun were lighting a fire to ignite charcoal. Tiny wood chips were lit, and wisps of smoke drifted into the air.

"Everyone's here!" Jiang Bai, having finished washing up and tidying up, emerged from the woods, revealing a bright set of white teeth.

"You've finally arrived! The task of setting up the stove is now yours!" Xiangling said, giving him orders without any hesitation.

"What kind of stove do you want?" Jiang Bai was very familiar with this; rock elements were the easiest to build.

"I need one this big, to enclose..." Xiangling described the shape and size she needed.

Jiang Bai quickly set it up, and also managed to get a few sets of tables and chairs.

Watching the group work together, Jiang Bai couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Elemental power is really useful."

"Come, come, try my special drink!"

Walnut brought out a tray with several prepared drinks on it.

An unidentified little flower is stuck in the cup, which contains coconut milk that gradually changes from yellow to white, with seed-like things floating on top.

Jiang Bai picked up a glass, hesitant to take a sip, and asked, "How was this made?"

"Our main ingredient is freshly picked wildflowers, combined with chilled coconut milk from Chongyun, and freshly squeezed raspberry juice. It's guaranteed to be delicious!"

Jiang Bai took a bite with some skepticism, and surprisingly, it was actually quite good.

Hu Tao served a cup to each person, and then personally served it to the chef.

Xiangling was too busy handling the ingredients, so she took a sip through a straw. The cool, sour, and sweet sensation spread through her, reducing the heat of being around the flames.

"Not bad!"

"Anything produced by this master is guaranteed to be of the highest quality!"

"Lulu~" Guoba gulped down the drink, burped, and then looked longingly at Hu Tao, the meaning of which was self-evident.

It still wants to.

"That's all, one cup per person!"

Guoba lowered its head in disappointment, but the next moment, a freshly made drink was placed in front of it. "But I haven't drunk mine yet, so you can have it!"

"Lulu~" Guoba jumped up excitedly.

Seeing everyone so happy, Shen He smiled faintly as he sipped his drink.

Chapter 184 Dual Personality

After more than two hours of slow roasting, we finally got to enjoy the fragrant, crispy roasted pig over charcoal at 1 p.m.

Xiangling brought the whole pig, which had shrunk by half from roasting, to the table. The wild boar's skin had been roasted to a golden brown, and because it had just come out of the pot, some of the fattiest parts were still sizzling with oil.

Finally, sprinkle some chopped green onions on top. My goodness, the aroma is so enticing it could attract even immortals!

Looking at the crispy roasted pig in front of him, its skin glistening with the aroma of pepper and oil, and smelling the fragrance that filled his nostrils, Shen He couldn't help but swallow slightly.

She, who usually eats a light and refreshing diet, rarely eats foods with such strong and rich flavors.

Compared to her, the others were far less reserved, rolling up their sleeves and preparing to get right to it.

Only Chongyun, though eager to eat, hesitated.

As someone with a pure yang constitution, he cannot eat such spicy and hot food. It's not that he can't eat it, but eating it would cause his yang energy to surge violently throughout his body, drastically changing his temperament. Moreover, after regaining consciousness, he would be completely unaware of what he had done.

Therefore, he basically avoids this kind of food, and doesn't even drink hot water. He usually only eats cold food and even needs things like popsicles to suppress the yang energy in his body.

But it would be unfair of him not to eat the food that Xiangling had worked so hard to bake for so long. However, it would be pointless for him to freeze it with ice, since Xiangling had sprinkled a lot of bright red Jueyun pepper powder on it.

This really put Chongyun in a difficult position, so much so that his conflicted emotions were written all over his face.

No one knows him better than Xingqiu. He held a fragrant roasted pork chop in one hand and put his other hand on Chongyun's shoulder.

But he didn't come to help his friend; he came to do bad things.

He held the meat rack to Chongyun's nose, as if the devil were whispering in his ear, "Today is our Master Hu's birthday, Chongyun, it would be impolite of you not to eat!"

Chongyun swallowed hard and looked at the others.

Not to mention Xingqiu, everyone else was watching him at this moment, including his aunt.

Hu Tao chimed in from the sidelines, "That's right! That's right! Not eating it would be disrespectful to this master!"

"It's okay, even if you act silly after you finish eating, we won't tell anyone!"

Xingqiu and Xiangling each tried to persuade him, as if they wouldn't give up until Chongyun ate it.

Jiang Bai, while gnawing on a pig's trotter, nudged Xiang Ling with his elbow and asked curiously, "What's going on here?"

Even Shen He, who ate very politely, perked up his ears.

"Chongyun has a pure yang constitution. He cannot eat Jueyun pepper or hot food, otherwise his temperament will change drastically."

Xiangling was clearly aware of this, after all, it wasn't the first or second time that Chongyun had mistakenly eaten Jueyun pepper at Wanmintang.

The first time was an accident, but the subsequent times were all Xingqiu's deliberate pranks.

"A drastic change in temperament? How so?"

"Don't be fooled by Chongyun's cold demeanor and restrained actions. He doesn't show much emotion in his face, but it's actually to suppress the pure yang energy within him. He's actually a very nice person, a bit naive, and always gets teased by Xingqiu..."

Xiangling quietly recounted the events following Chongyun's drastic personality change, and she vividly remembered these classic moments.

"I remember once he accidentally ate Jueyun pepper at Wanmintang, and suddenly jumped onto the long table and excitedly shouted that he would pay for all the customers!"

He chatted with each table of guests with a smile, putting his arm around their shoulders and introducing how amazing their family's magical arts were. Before leaving, he wouldn't forget to take a bite of the food from someone else's table...

Just thinking about that scene made Xiangling completely lose control of her expression.

"He would never normally do something like this. He's always been modest, feeling that his skills are far from sufficient, let alone boasting about his own magical arts. In that state, he seemed to suddenly become cheerful and outgoing, able to chat with anyone..."

Jiang Bai looked at Chongyun, who was now speechless due to Hu Tao and Xing Qiu's words, and then imagined the image Xiang Ling had described.

Honestly, he really wanted to see what Chongyun's Pure Yang Body would look like after it took effect.

Xiangling continued, saying that this incident was more memorable to her than the previous ones.

"Once, he insisted that there were evil spirits in 'Wanmin Hall,' but after searching the entire hall, he couldn't find them. Then he put a talisman on my forehead and insisted that I was the evil spirit. He chased me around with a sword, but in the end, Guoba showed up and knocked him unconscious with one paw..."

"Lulu~" Guoba showed off its claws, which were quite powerful!

"However, in my opinion, those kinds of heavy clouds are the ones that are closest to us."

"If you have a pure yang body, then you have a pure yang body. There's no need to suppress yourself all the time. Whether you're happy or excited, it's fine to release your emotions. You also need to give the yang energy in your body an outlet. Otherwise, what if the yang energy in your body gets damaged from being pent up?"

Shen He seemed to be deep in thought. "So, that's why you all want him to eat the Jueyun Pepper?"

“That’s right, that’s right.” Xiangling’s eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

Over here, Xingqiu and Hutao succeeded, and Chongyun took a bite of the pork chop covered in Jueyun pepper powder.

In an instant, a surge of heat rushed to the top of his head, and in the blink of an eye, the role that had been suppressed was reversed.

Chongyun snatched the pork chop that Xingqiu had used to tempt him, and put his other arm around Xingqiu's shoulder, turning the tables on him.

He tore a big bite out of the pork chop, then held it up to Xingqiu's nose so he could smell it before pulling it away. His expression was even worse than Xingqiu's when he had bullied him earlier.

"It smells so good! Do you want some? No way!"

"Amazing! Amazing!" Hu Tao clapped her hands as she watched Chongyun's personality change drastically in an instant.

Her clapping immediately caught Chongyun's attention.

He waved the pork chop in front of Walnut, smacked his lips, and said arrogantly and smugly, "Want some too? This is mine, you can only smell it~"

Hu Tao patted her chest and said, "Eat up, eat as much as you want! There's still plenty left! The pig's head is yours! Don't be shy!"

"?" Chongyun was momentarily stunned, then looked at the untouched pig's head that was still sitting on the table.

The pig's head was even bigger than his own, with a huge snout pointing towards the sky, exuding a powerful sense of oppression.

He quickly pushed Xingqiu forward, "Xingqiu likes to eat! Give him some!"

"What the hall master gave you, of course you're entitled to eat it!"

"You eat it! You like it!"

"I don't like to eat it..."

Watching the two of them shoving each other back and forth, neither willing to give in, Jiang Bai found it all quite amusing.

If he hadn't understood Chongyun's problem, he might have thought that Chongyun had a split personality, that he had developed a second personality, and that this second personality even possessed the memories of the first personality.

After shoving each other for a while, seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the pig's head, Chongyun decisively changed his target.

"Since none of us like to eat it, let's give it to Auntie!"

Chapter 185 Hand over the gift quickly!

Shen He: ?

Chongyun plucked the pig's head off and handed it to Shen He, saying, "Auntie is so thin, she needs to eat more to nourish herself!"

Shen He looked at the large pig's head handed to him and remained silent for a while before saying, "I can't eat this much."

"Pig's head meat is the essence of a pig, why don't you all want it!" Hu Tao said, hands on her hips.

"This looks tough to eat, watch me!"

Xiangling picked up a kitchen knife and quickly sliced ​​a whole pig's head into thin slices, filling three large bowls.

Apart from the pig's head, she processed the other parts, cutting them into small pieces so they would be easier to handle and eat.

Chongyun ate meat with gusto, enjoying the strong-flavored food that he usually wouldn't touch, and even dared to chatter with Shen He.

"Auntie, how are you doing with the immortal? Is there anything inconvenient in your life? Are you lacking anything?"

"Is the immortal strict? Does he treat you well? Are you happy here? If you're not happy, come home. We welcome you home anytime..."

He had many questions for his aunt and tried to get closer to her, but both of them were distant by nature, and due to their usually reserved personalities and many concerns, they were ultimately separated by a great distance.

At this moment, overwhelmed by the yang energy, one is in a state where one doesn't even know what one is doing, and naturally won't think about so much.

These are questions he wants to ask, and his elders in his family have wanted to ask them for a long time as well.

However, since immortals and mortals are different, they had no opportunity to meet.
