49 Shocking Proposal

Although it did not take too long for the meal to finish cooking, it felt like an eternity to the four people in the kitchen. After judging that the fish had finished cooking, he Impatiently plated the four pieces of fish on different plates to ensure that there would not be any fighting like last time. After doing so, he poured the sizzling flavoured oil over it releasing a more intense heavenly fragrance.

After he had completely finished preparing the fish, he finally lifted the lid on the steamed rice, revealing small, almost pearl like grains of rice that had a slight sheen of gold to them. Even the stream that was rising from it slightly glittered in the air as waves of warmth invaded his body, as he equally divided its contents, making sure to absorb some of the excess spiritual essence from Tao Keke's meal so that she could safely consume it.

Seeing that he had finished plating the meals he was about to bring them to the dining table, however when he turned around he noticed three pairs of wolf like glares, glued to plates of food in his hands.

Seeing that they were already there, He gave each of the girls their food, making sure to give the correct one to Tao Keke.

"What type of fish is this? And what is that?" Tao Keke asked while eyeing her bowl of heaven dew rice. Although she was captivated by its aroma, she was still curious as she never saw Tie Zhu buying either of those ingredients yesterday. Furthermore, since her mother owned a restaurant, she was very familiar with many foods, and had never seen either of them before.

"It's nothing too special, I've just added some secret ingredients that changed its appearance and taste a little." Tie Zhu said somewhat awkwardly, since he could not really tell them the truth yet. Although Tao Keke was still somewhat suspicious she eventually let it go since her stomach was growling with severe anticipation for the food.

It was not long at all before Tie Zhu and the women quickly brought all the food to the dining table and started eating without speaking another word. As soon as the first piece of fish entered their mouths they all closed their eyes in bliss. They immediately released comfortable moans, as their teeth bit into the extremely fresh firm meat, releasing abundant juices that coated their palette with an indiscribable taste that somewhat resembled the classic flavours of steamed fish.

As soon as they swallowed their first bite, it was immediately followed by an extremely cool invigorating sensation that flowed through their entire body as the combination of precious ingredients acted to significantly strengthen their bodies. Although Tie Zhu had absorbed most of the Spiritual Essence within the ingredients, the meal today was much more essence rich than the one yesterday, furthermore he did not absorb all the other benefits.

As soon as they devoured their first bite, they could not help themselves as they hungrily continued with the rest of their meal. With that being the case, changes were slowly appearing in each of them, with Bing Meigeng and her mother actually undergoing the largest changes! This was due to the fact that celestial permafrost moon fish were extremely precious creatures that were atleast of the divine warrior rank and had extremely high affinities for water that they would easily be able to freeze entire continents.

In fact, when Tie Zhu was deciding on what meal to cook for Bing Meifeng and her mother yesterday he had taken into account their water attributes. Although he expected that cooking something that resonated with their elements well would be beneficial to them he did not expect that it would actually provide them with insights to directly improve their talent in the water element.

Furthermore, it also allowed them to absorb the Spiritual Essence within the food many times quicker than they had been able to yesterday, completely shocking their expectations.

It was not long before everyone had finished their meals, and just like yesterday pitiful expressions painted their faces as the wondered how their food had disappeared so quickly. After finishing their meal, everyone had a brief conversation to learn more about each other from explaining Tie Zhu's relationship with Tao Keke and Bing Meifeng, clearing some misunderstandings. Although some things were kept hidden it still reduced much of the tension and Tie Zhu found out that Xiao Ling was actually the CEO of a huge real estate company.

"Okay, I'll go wash the dishes now and then we can go to school." Tie Zhu said, seeing that they had to leave soon. He expected to wash the dishes in his own, however it was not long before Tao Keke came to help him wash the dishes, quickly followed by Bing Meifeng.

"While you kids do that I'll just go and get something." Xiao Ling said. When she saw her daughter actually take the initiative to help wash the dishes she gave a mysterious smirk before going to her room. When she saw that her daughter had actually taken an interest in a man for the first time she knew she had to support her as a mother, especially considering her daughters competition. A part of this was because her parents had forced her into a marriage she never approved of, however she was powerless to reject it. In fact, she could not ever recall having the same feelings as her daughter however she was extremely curious about Tie Zhu, especially in how he managed to obtain such precious resources.

After talking with Tie Zhu a little after the meal she saw that his intentions were not completely bad, and the perverted incident from yesterday seemed like a genuine misunderstanding. Although she wouldn't accept her daughter liking anyone, Tie Zhu managed to pass her inspection. However at the same time she could not deny that a large part of this had to do with the food he had cooked as well.

Not only had her cultivation rapidly increased by leaps and bounds, the meal today was no less shocking than the one yesterday, as she noticed that not only had her cultivation increased, but the speed at which it did so was much faster. She also noticed that her skin now glowed with a faint radiance and was now completely smooth with no trace of wrinkles at all. She wondered if there were any other benefits that she did not notice.

After picking up a bank card and a brand new iPhone from her drawer, she hurriedly paced back to the kitchen where Tie Zhu and the girls had almost finished cleaning.

"Here is a small payment for the meal, also Bing Meifeng said that you don't have a mobile phone so I have a new one here for you. Its already got Bing Meifeng's number on it so you don't have to worry." Xiao Ling said before handing both items to Tie Zhu.

"... Ah, thanks, Isn't this too much though?" Tie Zhu asked modestly, however he stopped when he remembered that he was gifted an entire car yesterday.

"Don't worry about it, it's nothing. I have another proposal though, how about you live here instead. That way you won't have to travel so far in the mornings and night so it will be more convinient for you to cook." Xiao Ling suddenly said bringing shocked expressions to the faces of everyone else.
