The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine - Chapter 42

“Feiyan, you…you’re thinking too much? What I meant was for me to cook noodles for you.” Huang Xiaolong said innocently. “I’m so hungry, aren’t you? We should have dinner.”

Cui Feiyan was embarrassed, but she was really hungry. She had not been feeling well today and did not even have lunch. “Forget it, let’s just call the hotel catering department to send over some food. What do you want to eat?”

Huang Xiaolong shook his head. “Feiyan, from now on, let’s not be bothered by outsiders. Don’t worry, I will cook the noodles. You wait.”

After he finished speaking, Huang Xiaolong eagerly rushed to the kitchen.

This five-star hotel was really extraordinary. There were fresh seasonal vegetables and fruits in the kitchen refrigerator, a variety of ingredients, condiments, imported rice, and of course, good noodles.

“Let’s just cook noodles for dinner.” Huang Xiaolong searched in the refrigerator.

In the Age of the Last Dharma, all the gods disappeared. As a spirit conjurer, Huang Xiaolong could be said to have control over the entire hell. In the Yin zone, there were many cooks, more than in the Yang zone[1], and there were even many top imperial chefs that served the emperors in ancient times.

Huang Xiaolong had learned all kinds of cooking skills from them ages ago.

Take cooking noodles as an example. Huang Xiaolong had mastered the craftsmanship of imperial chefs. In ancient times, such noodles were only eaten by emperors and queens.

After preparing the materials and ingredients, Huang Xiaolong began to show his skills and got to work.

“Huang Xiaolong, don’t mess around, do you even know how to cook?” Cui Feiyan murmured after going to the bathroom. She sat on the sofa and pursed her mouth, with a suspicious expression on her face as she called out to Huang Xiaolong who was in the kitchen. ‘Is his cooking even edible? Will I die from this?”

Cui Feiyan was a gourmet eater, so she usually savored delicacies made by elite private chefs or Michelin chefs. Her taste buds were pampered and she could only eat the most exquisite dishes.

Cui Feiyan did not believe Huang Xiaolong could serve up food that suited her palate.

‘Ah…Persevere, persevere, it will be fine. It is nothing more than being hungry for a few more hours. What are you afraid of?’ Cui Feiyan shook her head. She was bored, so she simply turned on the TV and watched it.

While she was watching TV, Cui Feiyan felt a strange feeling in her heart…

She was sitting on the sofa watching TV and Huang Xiaolong was tossing about in the kitchen. This…this felt like the life of a young couple!

Cui Feiyan’s life since childhood had been spent being busy—busy studying, busy taking exams, busy studying abroad, now busy with meetings, busy investing, busy investigating…It was rare for her to watch TV with such leisure, waiting for a man in the kitchen to make her good food.

It felt like a family!

Cui Feiyan felt a hint of unexplainable warmth. She was very touched and the corners of her eyes were slightly damp!

She peered into the kitchen thoughtfully, and inadvertently, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, sketching out a knowing smile.

“Fei Yan, I’m done with the noodles, we’re ready for dinner!” At that time, Huang Xiaolong roared and walked out with two large bowls of noodles while grinning.

‘But I don’t want to eat noodles.’ Cui Feiyan muttered, but thinking that Huang Xiaolong had put in a lot of effort into cooking for her, she did not object, got up from the sofa, walked to the table, and sat down.

Huang Xiaolong handed a bowl of noodles and a pair of chopsticks to Cui Feiyan, and then he sat down quickly without saying anything and started to eat his noodles. He looked rather ravenous.

Cui Feiyan was originally prepared to take just a few bites out of courtesy. To her surprise, the heat from the bowl of noodles rose in the air and an indescribable fragrance came to her face!

Her stomach grumbled…

Cui Feiyan’s stomach made an audible sound. Her eyes squinted slightly, her nose twitched. It seemed that just from the scent, every cell in her body was screaming that she was hungry!

The urge to immediately devour this bowl of noodles struck her hard!

Glancing at it again, the noodles were just plain noodles. It had a clear, watery soup, but each noodle was glowing with golden and crispy luster as if they were not just noodles, but a work of art!

Cui Feiyan subconsciously grabbed the chopsticks, picked up a piece of noodles, and sent it to her cherry mouth…

Boom! ! ! !

Her taste buds just exploded!

The noodles melted in her mouth as soon as it went in and had an exquisite texture. Moreover, eating the noodles made Cui Feiyan feel so elated that she thought she had sprouted wings!

The next moment, Cui Feiyan buried her head, completely losing the demeanor of a goddess, and started to ravenously slurp and eat the noodles.

‘It’s too delicious! My goodness! What kind of junk food have I been eating before? This noodle is… it’s so delicious… A bowl of plain noodles, how can it be so good? ‘

Cui Feiyan ate quickly. Her pure and glamorous face was full of joy.

On top of the joy, she also felt love.

How could Cui Feiyan’s mood at this moment be described?

Walking with you in the blooming flowers in spring

Accompanying you to watch the stars wink in the summer night

Wandering in the golden wheat field with you at dusk in autumn

Winter snowflakes with you

It made her feel a wonderful warmth spread inside her body!

In a few minutes, Huang Xiaolong and Cui Feiyan finished their noodles.

The bowls were scraped clean.

“Ah…I’m stuffed, that hit the spot.” Huang Xiaolong stretched out contentedly.

“Huang Xiaolong, how did you make this noodle? You are unbelievable! I swear I have never eaten such delicious noodles in my life! You’re better than the chef of a Michelin restaurant!” This bowl of noodles made Cui Feiyan thoroughly change her view of Huang Xiaolong.

Super memory, good driving skills, medical skills, catching spirits, cooking noodles…

Cui Feiyan realized that the more she came into contact with Huang Xiaolong, the less she actually knew about him!

He was like a magic box that could bring surprises and excitement every day!

“Hehehe, Feiyan, are my noodles delicious?” After eating and drinking enough, Huang Xiaolong teased Cui Feiyan. [2]

Unexpectedly, Cui Feiyan was completely fooled and blurted out, “Delicious, delicious, Huang Xiaolong, your noodles are really delicious.”

As soon as she spoke, Cui Feiyan reacted immediately. Her face was flushed and she said angrily, “F*ck you! You brute! What was that? Can’t you be more serious?”

“I have always been very serious.” Huang Xiaolong said with an innocent look.

“Okay, let’s talk business. How about if I invest in a noodle restaurant for you?” Cui Feiyan’s eyes were colorful. “I will spend 100 million yuan to help you open 100 chain noodle restaurants in Coast City. We will split the profits equally, okay?”

Cui Feiyan was very business savvy. This kind of deliciousness was irresistible. Noodles that can bring about a sense of happiness would definitely make a tidy profit. It can be popularised in Coast City and spread across the country.

A business opportunity!

This was a huge business opportunity!

“Not interested.” Huang Xiaolong flatly rejected Cui Feiyan.

“Um…you…you…you…” Cui Feiyan was speechless. “You don’t want to make money?”

“Fei Yan, I can make money by catching spirits and exorcising evil.” Huang Xiaolong said solemnly. “I’m not going to open a noodle shop. My hobby is catching ghosts.”

Cui Feiyan really did not know what to say.

At that time, as night fell and the lanterns came on, Huang Xiaolong stood up and looked down at the brightly lit night view of Coast City through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

“The night scenery in the big city is so beautiful… Feiyan, you should take a bath first.” Huang Xiaolong smiled.

“Uh…take… take a bath? Why should I take a bath?” Cui Feiyan said blankly.

“Go to bed after taking a shower.” Huang Xiaolong turned around to look at the graceful Cui Feiyan.

“Go to bed?” Cui Feiyan looked at Huang Xiaolong with some caution. “I… I never promised…to sleep with you… Please, don’t be so dirty-minded, okay?”

“Fei Yan, you misunderstood the situation again. I’m asking you to go to bed to help you get rid of spirits. It’s dark, I’m going to enter your dream and kill the orange-clothed malicious spirit,” Huang Xiaolong said solemnly.

“I have to go to bed so that you…can you enter my dream?” Cui Feiyan was a little unhappy.

“Yeah, you have to go to bed.” Huang Xiaolong was very serious, but there was a hint of slyness in his eyes. “Feiyan, listen to me, we must sleep together so that I can enter your dreams smoothly.”
