Chapter 4: Taste Bud Stimulation

"Wait, what do you guys think about living with me until you have the money?"

The short haired Hua Jia immediately held her hand infront of her chest.

"No, we don’t want it!" she said instinctively.

Her sister Mia, much more composed, asked: "What do you mean by it, fellow sect member?"

Kian stared at the girls. ’They are real protective, these two.’

But he did not care about that.

"From what I know, the houses here each have more than three rooms. My house should also have three rooms. And I don’t need that many."

Hua Jia said: "Actually, there are four rooms. There is also a kitchen and a living room. With a wide terrace overlooking the swan lake."

Kian whistled. "Really? That makes things even more comfortable. I only have a servant girl with me, so you guys can get your own rooms if you come with me. I don’t mind offering stay for until you are good."

The manager of the rooms, Uncle Ren, warned Kian softly: "Young boy, are you not worried you might offend their brother? He probably does not want them in the sect. You will enter his eyes sooner or later."

"It’s fine," Kian said self righteously. "Who cares about a brother who abandons his sisters? Truly a worthless pig."

That comment seemed to resonate with the girls as they nodded.

"So, what do you think?" Uncle Ren asked the girls.

"We... are willing," the elder sister said. "But we won’t sell ourselves for the help, we are not people like that. No matter what, though, we will be very grateful!"

The younger sister said: "Yes, and we won’t fulfill any weird requests either. But we can help you cook food and do chores around the house in return! My sister is a really good cook, and I am good at chores."

"Then it’s even more tempting," Kian said with a chuckle. "Don’t worry, I am not a pervert. I just found your situation miserable."

"...Are you really okay with this?"

"Yeah."

Uncle Ren chuckled, "Young man, these two probably have yin protecting treasures. If you try to do it forcefully, your... member might not survive."

’What the fuck, old man. I thought we were on the same side.’

Kian’s face twitched as he stared at the Uncle. "What kind of beast do you think I am? If they don’t want to come, I don’t care. I will just leave."

""We are willing!""

With that, the trio decided to leave the office with a nod. They would talk more about the matter in a restaurant.

Walking through the sect, Kian soon noticed a noodle shop and walked towards it.

There was an absolutely delicious smell coming from the area.

The girls hesitated, looking at each other.

Kian said: "Don’t worry, this meal is on me."

They gulped at the delicious smell and finally followed him in.

Sitting on the table, Kian looked at the cool old lady who was making noodles on churning flame. The woman had a toothpick in her mouth. Seeing new customers, she glanced at Kian and party with a side eye.

"What’cha want?" she asked.

"Any particular taste?" Kian asked the girls.

"No, no, you can order anything."

Kian shouted: "Give us three chicken noodles please, with a bullseye on top. I’d like plenty of onions in mine, steamed."

"Comin right up!"

As they waited, Kian frowned slightly.

What condition did he have to fulfill in order to steal these people from Hua Shulong?

Kian’s guess was that they must love him more than they loved Hua Shulong.

’No matter how strained their relationship, they would not care about a stranger more than they care about their brother. For them, I am essentially a stranger they just met.’

But then did that mean Jiao Yin cared about Kian more than she cared about her brother?

Perhaps, there was a bit more nuance to this.

"One day, I will become an immortal. A real cultivator soaring through the skies," Hua Jia said, watching the noodles being prepared.

"Flying?" The noodle lady asked from the distance, chuckling. "Now that’s ambitious. To fly, you have to become a Stage 7 Qi Builder. Way stronger than those Core Disciples you see around this area!"

Hua Jia’s eyes were full of conviction. "I will surpass the core disciples!"

The woman came upto them and dropped three bowls of noodles on the table. "I can’t wait to see that, young lady. Make sure you come and eat some noodles after you learn to fly."

Hua Jia blushed. "Yes!"

"Then you have to make it good," Kian said. "Otherwise, we won’t feel like coming when we are big."

The old lady gave him a piercing stare. "Hehe, my noodles are the best."

Kian took his bowl and slurped up a big swoop.

It was mediocre at best.

He sighed. "Good stuff!"

The noodle woman blinked, frowning.

The girls tried it and their eyes lit up as well, filled with wonderful taste.

"Eh, good stuff? No way," the old woman muttered as she walked away.

Frowning, Kian had an inspiration.

"Hey, Hua Jia, can you give me a small bite out of yours?"

Hua Jia and Hua Mia froze. "What?"

"Just give me a bite, I think that old woman is teasing us."

Thinking that he was the buyer anyway, Hua Mia pushed her own bowl towards Kian.

Kian took a single handful with his chopsticks and tried it.

’Amazing!’

It was the best noodles he had ever had, from both lives.

"Old lady, why did you make mine so mediocre and theirs so good?" he complained.

The old woman looked at him, rolling her eyes. "Because I hate men."

"What the fuck," Kian cursed. "You and that uncle are both one of a kind!"

This time, it was the Hua sisters who found it amusing.

Hua Jia, ever the naughty one, tried Kian’s noodles with her chopstick. Indeed, his barely had any salt and tasted too plain.

"Hahahahah!" The old woman laughed.

Kian sighed, deciding to bargain when he paid.

But the old woman smirked at him, her eyes shining. Her voice echoed inside Kian’s head: ’Young brat, I sense you have Qi. Try to enhance your tongue with Qi, then eat it. I bet it will be the best you ever had.’

Kian was surprised that he was found out.

’I should have known! This is a world like that!’

But then, he followed her instructions and enhanced his tongue with Qi.

It tasted divine.

She said again: ’This is why I didn’t add too much flavour, or you would be overwhelmed.’

Kian relished himself in the moment.

What fantastic noodles.
