Hoshino Junka said with a grin, "I want to eat Ziling Fruit Two Ways and a vegetable salad."

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback as soon as he heard it. He didn't expect Hoshino Junka to order this dish, which only Ling Zhenfei could make. In fact, people here hadn't even heard of the name Ziling Fruit.

"Who did you hear it from, Ziling Fruit Two Ways, and who would know how to make it?"

Hoshino Junka said, "Oh, stop pretending. What do you think I was doing when I went out? I was getting information from my sister. Ever since she came back from visiting you, she hasn't stopped talking about it. I really want to try what makes them so unique."

Ling Zhenfei finally understood; the breakfast he helped Hoshino Meigetsu prepare last time had definitely made an impression. This time, Hoshino Junka managed to extract the name of the dishes.

Ling Zhenfei said, "So that's how it is. Do you think the stuff I make only includes these two delicious items?"

"What do you mean, is there something even tastier?" Hoshino Junka said, her eyes widening in disbelief.

Ling Zhenfei said, "That day, I made those two dishes for your sister just to deal with her, afraid she'd be hungry, so I randomly cooked something. But now it's different. Now I have plenty of time, and I can clearly make something even more delicious."

"Oh wow, oh wow, what can you make? There's a kitchen downstairs; whatever you want to make, I'll go prepare it." It seemed Hoshino Junka was a certified foodie.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course, I'll prepare the best ingredients. Leave the rest to me."

Hoshino Junka said, "Don't worry, the ingredients in our house are top-notch. Follow me."

With that, she led Ling Zhenfei downstairs, and Ling Zhenfei followed her with a smile on his lips.

Gu Long once said that to capture a man's heart, first one must capture his stomach. But the situation was different now—Ling Zhenfei wanted to capture Hoshino Junka and had to start with her stomach.

Dealing with a foodie girl like her was Ling Zhenfei's forte. Make a few signature dishes, and she wouldn't bear to hurt him; that was impossible.

Upon reaching the kitchen downstairs, they found it was indeed well-equipped and stocked with a variety of ingredients. But Ling Zhenfei decided to use ingredients from Xishan Manor to get the best flavor.

Ling Zhenfei was genuinely hungry and needed something to replenish himself, so he took out a chicken from his Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow, prepared using Xishan Manor's ingredients.

The effort Ling Zhenfei put into this chicken was significant, directly using Xuantian Spirit Spring Water to cook it. Eating this dish not only replenished needed energy but also restored the body's spiritual energy, serving a dual purpose.

Aside from the vegetable salad, he stir-fried White Jade Lotus Root and shredded potatoes, which were common dishes, but when made with Xishan Manor's ingredients, they tasted different.

Ling Zhenfei also made a scallion beef dish using Japanese Wagyu beef.

From previous meals, Ling Zhenfei learned that Japanese Wagyu beef was truly exquisite, with an incredible mouthfeel. Stir-frying must be the perfect method, even better than steak, and it absorbed the flavors well.

Hoshino Junka stayed by the door waiting, occasionally peeking inside with eager eyes. It was clear she was quite tempted, but Ling Zhenfei held her off from tasting anything right then for the best effect.

Finally, when all dishes were prepared, they carried the food to the second floor and sat beside the window with the best view.

Eating is best when accompanied by beautiful views, beautiful people, and delicious food; only then is it the ultimate dining experience.

Moreover, Ling Zhenfei added the finest beverage—Heart-Talk Fruit juice, one glass for each.

Hoshino Junka's eyes widened at the sight of the dishes. The scent was heavenly, truly exhilarating.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Dig in, what are you waiting for?"

Hoshino Junka could hardly resist, muttering thanks and promptly started eating.

"Wow, this is so delicious. This is the best lotus root I've ever had, so crunchy, truly tasty."

"What is this, potatoes? How intriguing, how can something taste so good, unbelievable."

"This is Wagyu beef, how peculiar. When I saw you cooking, I thought you'd waste the beef, but the dish turned out incredibly delicious, much better than the Wagyu I usually eat."

Ling Zhenfei said, "You should try this chicken."

Ling Zhenfei pointed to what seemed like ordinary boiled chicken before him. Hoshino Junka curiously picked a piece with her chopsticks and was immediately startled.

She gently tugged with her chopsticks, and the chicken meat separated from the bone.

Putting it in her mouth, Hoshino Junka was so excited that she jumped from her seat, "So tasty, truly delicious, compared to what I usually eat, this is a hundred times better."

While speaking, she couldn't help but take two big bites with her chopsticks.

Ling Zhenfei raised his glass and said, "Don't just focus on eating; share a toast with me, celebrating my survival once more."

Hoshino Junka raised her glass, looked at it, then clinked glasses with Ling Zhenfei and took a sip.

Originally thinking Ling Zhenfei had casually poured some fruit juice, with just one sip, Hoshino Junka was dumbfounded.

Nobody could resist the unique taste—this Heart-Talk Fruit wasn't meant to grow on Earth; even Ling Zhenfei didn't know where it originated.

Ling Zhenfei obtained the Heart-Talk Fruit seeds through a unique serendipity, found enclosed within a flattened bronze artifact.

Thinking they couldn't be cultivated, but after watering with Xuantian Spirit Spring Water, the tree grew larger by day and had an unusual appearance unlike any earthly tree.

But nobody anticipated the fruits it bore could be so delicious, instantly capturing anyone's heart with its powerful essence.

Hoshino Junka was completely off guard, conquered by Ling Zhenfei's dishes, one after another, culminating with the ultimate surrender to the Heart-Talk Fruit.

"Kill me now, what is this, how can it taste so good?"

Hoshino Junka murmured to herself, but this was precisely within Ling Zhenfei's expectations. Because why? Ling Zhenfei had never been this serious before.

Previously he might pop out a chicken at most, but this time Ling Zhenfei personally cooked with Xuantian Spirit Spring Water, ensuring an incomparable taste.

As Ling Zhenfei mentioned, this was to celebrate his survival, and also to win over Hoshino Junka, ensuring she wouldn't do anything against him.

After a long while, Hoshino Junka finally recovered from the initial shock and resumed her foodie mode.

After finishing a glass of Heart-Talk Fruit juice, Hoshino Junka's eyes locked onto Ling Zhenfei's remaining Heart-Talk Fruit juice.

Ling Zhenfei's Heart-Talk Fruit juice was only halfway drunk, then was snatched by Hoshino Junka to her side.

"What are you doing?" Ling Zhenfei asked.

Hoshino Junka said, "What's wrong, I don't mind drinking after you, and it looks like you can't finish it anyway. Why do you care if I drink it?"

Ling Zhenfei was truly helpless, but it didn't matter anymore; he had drunk enough many times before after all.
