Chapter 334

In the serene and peaceful atmosphere of Taoyuan Village, the setting sun resembled a ripe persimmon, slowly sinking westward and dyeing the horizon in hues of orange-red. The lingering twilight filtered through the mottled leaves, spilling into Li Rufeng's small courtyard and draping it in a dreamlike gauze. Li Rufeng's courtyard was enclosed by a carefully woven bamboo fence, over which climbed various nameless wildflowers. They swayed gently in the breeze, releasing a faint fragrance. Inside the courtyard stood several ancient locust trees with lush foliage, looking like loyal guards protecting this home. Beneath the trees stood a set of rustic stone tables and chairs, bearing faint traces from the afternoon tea. At this moment, however, the courtyard was in utter chaos. Earlier that afternoon, an explosion caused by Ayina attempting a new dish using Immortal Cooking in the kitchen had not only left the kitchen in a complete mess, but had also startled the village's poultry and livestock, causing them to scatter everywhere and throwing the entire village into turmoil.
