The fight made Jessica quite hungry. "Wanna grab a bite, Cheng?" she asked. Cheng Lao misunderstood what Jessica meant and got cold chill. "I... I don't think it is ethical..." he said nervously. She raises her eyebrow and makes a confused expression. "It is just a meal." said she insisting.
"No, no. I don't wanna eat their corpse." said he while panicking. Jessica is so shocked to learn Cheng Lao thought they are gonna eat the bodies. "No, you moron. I am cooking a meal." said she with a slight concerned face. "A meal? What is that?" asked Cheng Lao, having no idea what it is.
"Wait, a minute. Do you even eat?" asked Jessica to confirm something. "Eat? We cultivate qi. We don't need to eat like Mortals, Senior Je." answered Cheng Lao. All she could do is to facepalm and makes a disappointed face. "That is why you're weak..." she mumbled. Cheng Lao isn't really lying, so he wouldn't understand.
"Just bury the body while I whip up some stew." ordered Jessica to Cheng Lao. "Yes, Senior Je." answered Cheng Lao and begins burying the dead. Pretty much the valuables were looted except for the weapons and Shu Jin's spacial ring. Cheng Lao finds it valuable, yet because Jessica didn't pick them up, they must be useless. Too bad the spacial ring contains alot of treasures that Jessica can't imagine.
Jessica is simply boiling some vegetables in a pot of boiling water. Adding tender chicken meat, and sprinkling it with some wild peppers. The smell is delicious and the stew is looking tasty. Half an hour later, the stew is finally done. Jessica whips out a bowl and fills it with it using the ladle. She also set aside some peaches for dessert.
She called out for Cheng Lao to eat. He came and he is so shocked from what he witnessed. The pot of stew contained spiritual qi. He couldn't believe that food can contain such qi. "Can I eat it, Senior Je?" asked Cheng Lao while drooling. "Of course you can." said Jessica with a smile.
Cheng Lao takes a bowl and observes the stew for a moment. It can be compared to be like Heaven Grade. He gulps then proceed to take a sip. His eyes widened and his body suddenly glows. It contains so much cultivation base that he got a breakthrough from Mid Foundation Realm to Peak Foundation Realm. "This is truly a blessing of the gods." he said with tears.
Cheng Lao got an enlightenment from Jessica. What he got is making "meal" will help with his cultivation. He thanked Jessica with a sincere bow. "Oh, this poor man. This meal is enough to make him cry." she thought. She smiles in respond and they happily eat their fill. It is the first time Cheng Lao has been feeling full, or is it? It has been 52 years since he last ate a meal. A meal he don't know the name, but remember how it tasted.
