Murong Fier accepted the bottle, and as she gazed at the fragrant rabbit, the earlier pity she felt for the bunny vanished instantly, replaced by a singular desire to eat it.
Bunny: “So, love truly does fade, doesn’t it?”
Xian Yuan picked up a small knife, carving off both of the rabbit’s hind legs before handing them to Murong Fier.
“Sister Murong, please have a taste.”
“Thank you.”
Murong Fier retrieved a handkerchief from her spatial ring, carefully wrapping it around the base of the leg before lifting her elegant hair and taking a delicate bite.
“Mmm~!”
A potent aroma of meat instantly flooded Murong Fier’s senses.
Undergoing the hotpot’s ordeal, the once taut thigh muscles had relaxed, lending a remarkably tender texture.
The subcutaneous fat, melted by the flames, evenly coated the muscle, releasing an exquisite fragrance that permeated the air.
With the addition of cumin, a subtle spiciness provided the perfect finishing touch, elevating the succulent rabbit leg several tiers in deliciousness.
The sensation was akin to the profound satisfaction of overcoming a challenge during one’s childhood.
“It seems my culinary skills haven’t declined after all! O(≧▽≦)O”
Seeing Murong Fier eat with such contentment, Xian Yuan began to eat as well.
Yet, in stark contrast to Murong Fier’s elegant manner, Xian Yuan’s eating could only be described as wild, each bite consuming a significant portion.
“Xian Yuan, slow down, you might choke.”
Watching Xian Yuan devour her food, Murong Fier couldn’t help but say.
“Sister Murong, this meat is truly delicious; it’s even better than Immortal Jade Pavilion’s spicy rabbit heads.
You should eat quickly too, before it gets cold.”
Murong Fier’s cheeks flushed crimson at Xian Yuan’s words, and she quickly lowered her head and resumed eating.
Gnawing on a rabbit leg while sipping cola retrieved from her spatial ring, Xian Yuan felt as if she were in her own home, with only one word capable of describing the sensation: ‘refreshing’.
“Do you have more cola?”
Murong Fier wiped her mouth, then looked at Xian Yuan and asked.
“Yes.”
Xian Yuan produced another bottle of cola from her spatial storage and handed it to Murong Fier.
“Why is it Baishi?”
Murong Fier looked at the Baishi cola, her brows furrowing slightly.
“Because I’m a Baishi loyalist.”
Xian Yuan ate the meat while gulping down cola, the combination of effervescence and subtly spicy rabbit meat making her cry out in delight.
“Ah, refreshing!”
“Xian Yuan, as girls, can’t we be a little more refined?”
“In the face of delicious food, I choose to let loose.”
Soon, the two of them had completely devoured the rabbit, leaving only its bones and remnants of flesh piled beside the bonfire.
“Compared to the wooden rabbit, the meat of this rabbit is softer, yet its prolonged life in the snow caused its muscles to be taut, resulting in a more exquisite flavor than the wooden rabbit.”
Murong Fier, having also tasted wooden rabbit meat, readily agreed with Xian Yuan’s assessment.
“How about we call this rabbit the ‘Blue Rabbit’?”
“Wouldn’t that be a bit too casual?”
Murong Fier thought Xian Yuan’s naming was too hasty; while wooden rabbits were delicious, their status as a delicacy among cultivators stemmed more from their ability to boost immortal essence, and the rabbit they had just eaten offered similar effects.
“It’s decided then.
It’s not like it’s a Lunar Jade Rabbit; what it’s called doesn’t really matter.”
“A Lunar Jade Rabbit? Xian Yuan, you’ve eaten one of those?!”
Murong Fier stared at Xian Yuan in disbelief.
Lunar Jade Rabbits were a top-tier protected species in the Qiyuan Realm, with perhaps only a little over 200 of them in existence.
Furthermore, Lunar Jade Rabbits apparently could shapeshift from birth.
“Xian Yuan, you actually ate a person!”
“No, no, not at all.
What I meant was, besides Lunar Jade Rabbits, aren’t all other rabbits considered high-grade ingredients?”
Xian Yuan quickly clarified, explaining that even if she wanted to eat a Lunar Jade Rabbit, her own family would likely obliterate her the next moment.
“If you say that, I imagine the Eternal Frost Ice Rabbit clan would freeze you into an ice sculpture.”
“Enough talk.
I need to record this first, or I’ll soon forget.”
Xian Yuan took out her phone and began editing.
Qiyuan Realm – Animalia – Normal Order – Common Family – Rabbit Genus – Blue Rabbit Species.
As for its specific living habits, Xian Yuan simply adapted the wooden rabbit’s habits, since the instincts of wild rabbits are largely similar.
She even added a note about its “exquisite edible meat quality.”
“Xian Yuan, why aren’t you categorizing this Blue Rabbit under the Divine Beast Order?”
Murong Fier leaned her head closer, examining Xian Yuan’s description, and wondered why it wasn’t directly classified under the Divine Beast Order.
“Sister Murong, do you think this Blue Rabbit qualifies for the Divine Beast Order?”
“It doesn’t?”
Murong Fier thought, ‘There are no Blue Rabbits in the outside world, not even in the Eternal Frost Ice Plains at the northernmost tip of the Qiyuan Continent.
Doesn’t that make it a divine beast?’
“Sister Murong, we just saw thousands of them while hunting, and we even saw a mother rabbit with seven or eight kits.
Moreover, these Blue Rabbits aren’t particularly powerful, are they?
Surely that doesn’t qualify them as divine beasts?”
“Ah, then what exactly is your standard for a Divine Beast Order?”
Hearing Xian Yuan’s explanation, Murong Fier realized she had always believed the Divine Beast Order simply referred to rare species.
“It’s for species that are both rare *and* powerful.”
“Oh my, that can’t be right.
How could the Dragon Clan be rare?”
Murong Fier’s brows furrowed deeply, her gaze revealing a hint of disbelief, as if silently urging Xian Yuan, “Don’t you dare lie to me!”
Xian Yuan looked utterly bewildered.
‘Why wouldn’t the Dragon Clan be considered rare?’ she mused.
‘Otherwise, why would the Long Family in the Nine Dragon Region have only Long Yuxiao, who possesses a pure true dragon bloodline?’
“Sister Murong, please let me explain slowly.
The Dragon Clan indeed faces difficulties in reproduction.
When I previously visited the True Dragon lineage, I learned that the chances of a dragon conceiving might be only one in several hundred million compared to humans.”
After Xian Yuan finished speaking, Murong Fier fell silent.
Not only do dragons find it difficult to conceive, but each pregnancy also spans several years, which naturally leads to the sparse numbers of the Dragon Clan.
“Alright, let’s continue.
Are there any more mushrooms?”
After speaking, Xian Yuan looked at the mushrooms and wild vegetables still on the table, and thought about making a stew.
“You’re not actually thinking of eating these obviously poisonous mushrooms, are you?”
Murong Fier glanced at the brightly colored mushrooms on the table, thinking, ‘Aren’t these practically screaming ‘poisonous’?’
“Sister Murong, you must not have tasted the unique fungi from the Future District; the poisonous ones are the most delicious.”
“Are you serious?
These aren’t ordinary mushrooms.
They even have immortal aura about them.
Getting poisoned by these is no laughing matter.”
“It’s fine, don’t be fooled by appearances.
Just go for it!”
Seeing that persuasion was futile, Murong Fier decided not to bother anymore.
‘After all, you’re the one courting death,’ she thought.
‘Have you forgotten what happened when you ate from the Cold Peach Spirit Tree?’
Xian Yuan produced an ancient-looking basin, filled with an array of colorful seasonings that exuded an enchanting aroma.
Gently, she dropped the seemingly dangerous mushrooms into the basin, one by one.
As the mushrooms settled into the basin, a peculiar transformation began.
The seasonings within, as if alive, started to slowly swirl, enveloping the mushrooms and releasing intoxicating waves of fragrance.
Xian Yuan, with a focused expression, gently stirred the mixture in the basin, and a pungent odor assaulted both of their senses.
