After a lengthy explanation, Zhu Haomiao finally understood the value of a Lifebound Companion Artifact. The biggest difference between it and an ordinary mythical-level True Object is the unique Uniqueness it contains. This Uniqueness is a crystallization of conceptual powers such as the creator’s position, divinity, and authority, possessing a unique and magical authority. Therefore, a Coexistent Divine Artifact may not be extremely powerful, but it has endless growth potential and is two sides of the same coin with its creator, symbolizing its fundamental strength. Even many Nine-layered Heaven Human Gods may not have such a precious lifebound object. "Is it very precious?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Haomiao frowned with a peculiar expression and casually grabbed an elongated, sharp Eight-sided Han Sword from the void. "I have another one." The two stared blankly at the treasure sword in the black-clad boy’s hand. After a while, Ye Wan Ning let out a mournful wail. "Why you, of all people?!!" On the other side, Li Cang was enviously staring at the treasure sword, blinking with hope in his eyes. With a casual toss, Li Cang skillfully caught the hilt and twirled it elegantly, releasing energy from his palm, instantly eliciting a clear, long sword hum. "Though still immature, I can sense the wondrous authority within..." With a smitten look, Li Cang praised while gently running his fingers over the sword’s blade, taking quite a while before snapping out of it, sheepishly returning the treasure sword to Zhu Haomiao. Receiving the hilt, Zhu Haomiao flicked his wrist, and the sharp Eight-sided Han Sword instantaneously transformed into a black light, merging into his body without a trace. Witnessing this, Ye Wan Ning gritted her teeth. "Shape-shifting and Qi condensing, ever-changing, endlessly useful!" "A Twin Lifebound Divine Artifact that can manifest in reality!" "You’re truly detestable!!" Clutching the black-clad boy’s cheeks and pulling them, Ye Wan Ning, still unsatisfied, grabbed his arm and bit down hard a couple of times. With a guttural growl resembling a vicious dog, Ye Wan Ning left a neat row of small teeth marks on Zhu Haomiao’s hand before letting go with satisfaction. On the other side, wiping the drool off the back of his hand with a tissue, Zhu Haomiao nonchalantly changed the subject. "By the way, you haven’t said what you want to eat yet." "I want to eat Zhu meat!" Seeing Ye Wan Ning’s expression full of gritted teeth, Zhu Haomiao pretended not to understand her pun and nodded with a smile. "Okay, I’ve just bought two racks of ribs." "Cangcang, what about you?" "As long as it’s made by you, I’m okay with anything." Brother Li, your words are a bit ambiguous! However, seeing Li Cang’s calm and composed demeanor, Zhu Haomiao helplessly pouted, knowing he wasn’t aware of the implication at all. It’s all because of the Book of Black, making my heart more and more impure! Cursing silently in his heart, Zhu Haomiao returned his attention to the kitchen, his pupils shimmering with a green gleam. Activating the authority of Gluttony, he triggered a mysterious transformation during the cooking process, awakening the subtle spirituality hidden within. As an array of extraordinary cuisine was presented on the dining table, visible sparkling spirit light caught Ye Wan Ning and Li Cang’s silence once again. "Feels like Shui’s culinary skills have improved again..." "Does he have some kind of authority related to being a Kitchen God?" "I haven’t heard of it. Isn’t he pursuing Martial Arts? We’re both martial artists, so why can you only cook instant noodles?" "How about you? At least my instant noodles don’t give people diarrhea!" After exchanging a glare, they both snorted disdainfully and averted their eyes, their attention immediately drawn by the enchanting aroma. Their petite noses involuntarily twitched, inhaling the supernatural deliciousness in the air, causing their mouths to water uncontrollably. "Gurgle~ While Shui’s not paying attention, let’s sneak a bite..." "This... isn’t it bad?" "It’s okay, just take a little from each dish, he won’t notice! Diao Chan always does this!" As they whispered together conspiratorially, a chilly voice sounded in their ears. "You can speak a bit louder while you’re plotting." After a moment of awkward silence, Ye Wan Ning simply stopped pretending, plopping down on a chair, grabbing a pair of chopsticks, and blinking expectantly at Zhu Haomiao. Weak, pitiful, helpless, hungry... "Are you copying Diao Chan, or is she copying you?" Shaking his head with a laugh, Zhu Haomiao placed the last dish on the table and loudly called toward the nearby bedroom. "Diao Chan, it’s time to eat." Almost immediately upon hearing, the little girl, who’d been waiting for who knows how long, dashed out of her room, skillfully climbing onto her dedicated little stool. Her white, tender baby fists held chopsticks, eyes twinkling as she stared at Zhu Haomiao. Weak, pitiful, helpless, hungry... Seeing the identical expressions on the big and little ones, as if stamped from the same mold, Zhu Haomiao couldn’t help but chuckle wryly. "Go ahead, eat, eat before you start gnawing on people..." Accompanied by cheers, Zhu Haomiao invited Li Cang to sit, elegantly picking up his chopsticks to taste a dish on the table. The supernatural savory taste spread in his mouth, suppressing the urge of Gluttony. Zhu Haomiao chewed carefully and only after a long while, swallowed the chewed food and nodded in thought. The spirituality in ordinary substances is limited; achieving this level is already the limit... To reach the glowing state seen in the Illusion Realm, using supernatural grade ingredients is a must... The images of the Three Noble Sons from Japan and Emperor Shitian flashed unconsciously in his mind, Zhu Haomiao paused, then shuddered violently. The swallowing of Dharma Form is metaphorical, it’s completely different from actually turning them into dishes! Humans can’t... at least they shouldn’t... Shaking his head to dispel the images of "cannibalism," Zhu Haomiao glanced at the three devouring their meals, sighing with relief. Refocusing his attention, Zhu Haomiao continued to eat slowly, and after clearing the table completely, he gracefully picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth. Resisting Gluttony, Dao Heart +2 After the authority of Gluttony upgraded to LV.4, the extraordinary cuisine created became even more tempting and delicious, greatly enhancing the tempering of the Dao Heart as well. Looking at the three lying back in their chairs, clutching their round bellies in pain and bliss, Zhu Haomiao shook his head helplessly. Eyes too big for their stomachs... "Senior sister, I’m planning to descend to the Third Layer Heaven soon. How about we go to see Uncle Liu together?" Hearing this, Ye Wan Ning rolled her eyes at him. "You have more sway than me now, just go by yourself."
