Lin Wu needed to get some food into Feng's belly first before he could treat him. Thus he simply took out some of the precooked beast meat and spirit herbs that he had kept for himself.
He didn't mind giving this to Feng, since he had more than enough of it.
'Not like the kid will be able to eat much, anyway.' Lin Wu thought to himself.
The amount of food he had taken out was not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth. It was less than a a bite to him. But to Feng, it was different. Or rather, it was entirely opposite for him.
"This… This… this is for me?" Feng couldn't believe his eyes.
It wasn't that he was surprised about the food appearing from thin air as he knew about the existence of spatial storage tools. He had seen many people used it before since there were tons of cultivators in Tieba city.
Rather, he was surprised with the quality of the food. All of it looked to be made by the best cooks, and the aroma coming from the meat was tantalizing.
'It's even warm! As if it was just made!' this was even more absurd to Feng.
He knew a little about how the spatial storage tools worked and knew that while one could store a lot of food in them, the quality of the food would eventually deteriorate. Even if one put hot food in the spatial storage tool, it would eventually turn cold.
Feng certainly didn't think that Lin Wu had stored the food just before coming here. Thus it only made it that much that the food was perfectly warm.
He looked at the first dish, which looked like roasted ribs covered with a red sauce and couldn't help but drool.
"Go on! Start eating." Lin Wu ordered.
"Y-yes!" Feng didn't wait a moment after that and almost jumped at the food.
He picked up rib after rib and bit off the meat from each of them. It was effortless for him and the meat was incredibly tender. The red sauce covering the ribs was rich and a faint sweetness accompanied the savoriness of the ribs.
Feng's eyes wandered over to the other dishes that looked no less appealing to him. There were spring rolls that were made with spirit herbs and filed with tofu made from high quality spirit beans.
He picked up one of the rolls and put it in his mouth.
~CRUNCH~
As soon as bit down, a crisp crunch was heard. The coating of the spring roll was perfectly fried and was golden yellow in color. After the initial crunch, Feng felt the taste of the soft tofu as well as the flavorful spirit herbs that were mixed into it.
"MMMHMM!!!!!" He couldn't help but let out a moan as the amazing flavor overwhelmed him.
"This is so good!" Feng couldn't believe his luck.
When he had woken up today, he had certainly not expected that he would go through all this.
First, he made a mistake and the Tea House owner decided to kill him. Then, when he was close to killing him, the shop owner died all of a sudden.
The perpetrator behind the murder being none other than Lin Wu, who was had now given him all this amazing food. To Feng, Lin Wu was truly like the spirits of the legends that granted the wishes of people.
The hot food that seemed to have just been prepared only reinforced his assumption that much.
Feng continued to eat and savor every bite, secretly fearful that all this might just a dream. And by the time he was done, Feng felt like even if he died now, he would be content.
All his life he had eaten bland and crappy food that had no other function other than to give his body a little sustenance. And even that was not up to the mark, considering the nutritional deficiencies he had.
The food he had eaten till now did little more than to keep him alive. And if it were not for the fact that he secretly sneaked out some food from the Tea House every now and then, perhaps he wouldn't have even had the strength to bear the abuses till now.
While Feng ate, Lin Wu continued to observe him and the system also scanned him actively.
The food that Lin Wu had taken out was chosen by the system according to what would be best for Feng. The effects of it were already appearing in the boy's body too, even if he had not noticed it yet.
The vital energy from the roasted ribs entered Feng's cells, invigorating them, while the medicinal efficacies of the spirit herbs in the spring rolls healed the hidden injuries he had sustained.
Meanwhile, the tofu made from Spirit beans released copious amounts of spirit Qi that drilled into his meridians automatically.
Something like this would have been dangerous normally as one shouldn't absorb spirit Qi when they weren't above the seventh stage of the body tempering realm, but Lin Wu had already thought of it.
Some of the spirit herbs in the spring rolls had a modulating effect on the spirit Qi and made it gentle, such that it didn't harm Feng's body. Instead, it irrigated his meridians, removing the blockages in it slowly.
It was like a slow stream cutting through rocks after a long time.
While Lin Wu could do this process very quickly if he did it manually for Feng, it was better for his meridians to get acclimatized to spirit Qi first. This was the optimum plan that the system had decided upon.
About fifteen minutes later, Feng had finally finished eating everything and sat on the ground.
Teeth marks could be seen on the ribs, evidence of how fiercely the boy had eaten it all. Even the platters had been licked clean, and there was not one drop of sauce left anywhere.
"Now that's a good eating etiquette." Lin Wu said in approval.
