Chapter 1879: Roasting Potatoes

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

Hearts racing, Su Haimei and Ying Feiqiong both slowly moved towards here. After coming to Zhang Tie’s side, they looked around and looked for a place to sit. However, there was no bench for the two beauties inside this mountain cave.

“Sit right here…” Zhang Tie said as he looked around, sitting on a proper rock. There were two stalactites on both sides, each of which was over 12 cm high and 1 m in thickness. They were right beside the bonfire. Zhang Tie reached out his palm and slightly released some battle qi, cutting off the two stalactites from their roots silently like cutting a turnip by a sharp kitchen knife, exposing the smooth surface, where Su Haimei and Ying Feiqiong could sit down.

As the two stalactites were on both sides of Zhang Tie, the two women sat close to Zhang Tie on his left and right respectively. Their seats were convenient for Zhang Tie to put his arms around them. Additionally, Zhang Tie didn’t mean to move away after finding two seats for the two women. There was no other proper seat beside the bonfire either. Therefore, Ying Feiqiong took a bashful look at Su Haimei. Su Haimei then gnashed her teeth and sat on Zhang Tie’s right hand. Watching Su Haimei’s response, Ying Feiqiong then sat on Zhang Tie’s left hand. As a result, Zhang Tie sat in between.

After taking a deep breath of his surrounding, faint fragrance, Zhang Tie started to move the ashes by stick attentively and added some firewoods inside the bonfire.

He gradually made a small pit among the ashes. Then, he took out some potatoes and threw them into the ashes. After that, he covered those potatoes with the ashes. As Zhang Tie did it, he kept talking to the two women casually, “When you roast potatoes, you cannot use big fire. You cannot directly roast them above the fire; otherwise, the potatoes would be burned. You cannot keep the potatoes far away from the bonfire; otherwise, the core of potatoes will not be cooked and smell aromatic no matter for how long you roast them. The best method is to bury potatoes in the ashes so that the temperature of the bonfire could slowly pass to the potatoes through the ashes. In this way, the potatoes will gradually be cooked; instead of being burned. I guess you might have not eaten roasted potatoes since you were born…”

Sitting on Zhang Tie’s sides, the two women were a bit intense previously. However, when they found Zhang Tie just roasted the potatoes attentively instead of flirting with them, the two women gradually became reassured.

To be honest, Zhang Tie hit it. The two women indeed didn’t know how to roast potatoes. As disciples of Yin-Yang Sect, they didn’t have experience in roasting potatoes even when they participated in survival training when they were young. They had roasted wild animals; however, they could barely find potatoes in the wild. Even though they could, they didn’t necessarily dig them as the process of digging potatoes would always cover one’s face and head with dust and soil. When they promoted to immortal generals, they could prepare ready-to-eat food in their portable space-teleportation item. Of course, they didn’t need to prepare raw potatoes and roast them when they wanted to eat them.

Because they didn’t know how to roast potatoes, when they saw Zhang Tie the incumbent Dragon Emperor of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace moving ashes and potatoes calmly and adroitly in front of them and imparting the “secret skill” of roasting potatoes to them, the two beauties suddenly felt such strange and weird. At this moment, Zhang Tie was never like the imposing Dragon Emperor who had just killed a supreme-level immortal general; he was absolutely a common teenager in the neighborhood——After noticing their new looks, the teenager glanced over their bodies with scorching eyes audaciously while roasting potatoes quietly beside the bonfire.

However, Su Haimei and Ying Feiqiong didn’t know that Zhang Tie was exposing his most natural side at this moment regardless of their feelings.

King Roc could hover in the sky and swim in the deep ocean. Those who pretended to be powerful were not real powers; those who pretended to be humble were not really humble. Zhang Tie was just exposing his nature.

Zhang Tie was essentially a teenager who had fallen secretly in love with his beautiful teacher; served as flesh bags in a fighting club and dreamed for beauties on his side.

The only difference was as follows: Zhang Tie was not brave enough to take a look at Su Haimei and Ying Feiqiong at the beginning. However, at this moment, he could frankly appreciate their beautiful looks.

Everyone was an innocent and flamboyant teenager in heart!

Teenagers would never die; they just traveled across the globe and waited for you to find them one day so that they could laugh heartily with you!

“We two…indeed don’t know how to roast potatoes…” Su Haimei felt a bit embarrassed; however, she finally admitted it frankly.

“Haha, it’s not difficult at all. You will know how to do it immediately after taking a look at my performance!” Zhang Tie told Su Haimei as he took a look at her with a smile, “It’s not difficult to roast potatoes; however, it’s very difficult to realize a life philosophy from the simple process. Many men couldn’t realize any life philosophy from roasting potatoes in their whole lives. However, these men might not win women’s favor and might be single for the rest of their lives!”

“You could realize a life philosophy from roasting potatoes? It’s even concerned about whether a man could win any women’s favor or not?” Ying Feiqiong asked as she watched Zhang Tie.

“Of course, actually, when a man woos a woman, it’s like roasting potatoes. There are two kinds of men who won’t win women’s favor. If a woman is regarded as potato, the first kind of man wants to roast potatoes right above the flame and intends to cook it and devour it at once. Such men are too anxious about love and sex. They couldn’t wait to sleep with the woman consecutively for 7 days only by having a cup of tea, having a meal or strolling down the street with her on the first day. In women’s eyes, such a kind of man is a lecher. As long as they approach this kind of man, they would be burned by his scorching temperature. Therefore, women are always afraid of such a kind of man. It’s like robbing. Am I right…”

Hearing Zhang Tie explaining it to them in such a straightforward way, Su Haimei and Ying Feiqiong both felt a bit bashful with a blush. They had not heard about the expressions “woos a woman”, “sleep with the woman” since they were born. After hearing such words, they felt pretty stimulative and odd. Zhang Tie’s words directly hit their hearts. They admitted that Zhang Tie was right.

“What about the second kind of man?” Su Haimei couldn’t help asking him.

“The first kind of men are like bandits. The second kind of men are like scholars who want to rebel. They want to roast potatoes; however, they’re afraid that the potatoes will be burned by the high temperature; therefore, they put the potatoes far away from the bonfire. As a result, when the bonfire dies out, the potatoes are still raw and couldn’t be eaten; someone beside them couldn’t stand it and directly move the potatoes into his own bonfire. When the bonfire dies out and the potatoes are gone, these men then start to complain about injustice and that women are tricky. They start to relieve their sorrows by drinks and become cynical. From then on, all the women in the world are the same in their eyes…”

“Is there any explanation for you?” Ying Feiqiong asked Zhang Tie as she tried to not laugh out.

“Of course there is…” Zhang Tie continued after blinking his eyes, “I’m the best kind of man when pursuing women. Cover women with ash. I don’t directly roast the women above the flame, nor throw them far in the wind; instead, I put them in ashes under the fire; meanwhile, I could prevent them from being noticed by the other men who want to eat potatoes. You should let them sense your heat and give them enough sense of security and let them think that they could enjoy the sunshine and take root and sprout in the soil. In this way, they will gradually become mature and eatable. Those bachelors who couldn’t find girlfriends or wives in their whole lives should learn how to roast potatoes…”

“They all said that Your Majesty came from an alien world. In your world, could all the men understand women such well like you only by roasting potatoes? You even understand women better than disciples of Yang Branch of Yin-Yang Sect. If it’s true. I don’t know whether I should be happy or worried about those women in the alien world…” Su Haimei said while biting her lips with an enchanting and vivid look.

“Haha, don’t worry. It’s just my realization. There are too many more bachelor men in my world than that in Motian Realm…”

“Your Majesty, how many ‘potatoes’ have you roasted by this method…” Ying Feiqiong asked him as she took a secret look at Su Haimei.

After hearing Ying Feiqiong’s words, Zhang Tie’s smile gradually faded away. When Ying Feiqiong felt a bit flurried and realized that she should have asked him this question, she heard Zhang Tie’s self-mockery. “I’ve roasted a lot of potatoes; however, I couldn’t take all of them; some cooked potatoes even disappeared themselves…”

Su Haimei and Ying Feiqiong watched Zhang Tie in a daze. Su Haimei looked complex. Ying Feiqiong’s eyes were such sympathetic. Zhang Tie’s reply was ambiguous. As a woman, Ying Feiqiong instantly thought about a situation——the cooked potatoes must have fallen in other men’s bowls and taken roots and sprouted. The leaves of the potatoes must be verdant…

Zhang Tie didn’t notice their expressions. He just didn’t want to continue this topic. He then waved his hands and continued to move the potatoes in the ashes. Meanwhile, he shifted the topic to the two women and Yin-Yang Sect. “Oh, I’ve not imagined that you’ve already promoted to wind immortal generals only after a few years. Congratulations. After parting with you in Cyanlotus City, although I’ve had Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace enquire your whereabouts and want to give a favor to you, I couldn’t find you anymore. How are Yin-Yang Sect, Yuelan and Ruoxin?”

After hearing Zhang Tie’s question, the two women’s eyes gradually turned red…
