章節 155: Daoist Revelation

Clear Spring Village was too small for large restaurants or tea houses like those in big towns and cities. Most food places were tents and stalls on the side of busy roads. When I led Xie Lun to a breakfast stand by the river, I was somewhat uncertain if he could get used to such a spartan place like this.

Xie Lun didn't seem to care though. After I introduced the shop's signature pastries and buns, he ordered a big plate of almost one of each. I stared at him curiously. "I hadn't expected you to be so hungry," I said. "Aren't you close to becoming immortal already? How much do you still need to eat?"

"It's not for me," he chuckled. "You're the one that needs to eat, even if you don't have an appetite. You've grown much thinner since we left Jade Temple, and it's only been five days."
