Chapter 235: Spiritual Food
"Husband, is something wrong?" Aria asked after noticing Chen Tian's solemn expression.
"Hm?" Emilia also looked up from her plate.
"What's going on?" she asked, her voice filled with worry.
Chen Tian didn't respond immediately; his gaze was fixed on the food spread out in front of him.
His black eyes, which Chen Tian changed back to black, have now turned blue again.
"Chaos Insight."
A screen of information appeared in front of him.

'It's actually spiritual food!' Chen Tian exclaimed in his mind, his voice filled with surprise. He turned to Aria, who was still curious about his sudden change in expression.
"Aria, this food is no ordinary food. It's spiritual food," Chen Tian explained.
"Spiritual food?" Both girls looked at him with confusion. Chen Tian nodded, his excitement evident in his eyes.
"Yes, it is a special type of food that is made by combining the essence of a beast with Qi. It not only provides better health and increased energy but also improves digestion and nutrient absorption."
Aria's eyes widened in awe as she realized the significance of what Chen Tian had just revealed.
"So, by consuming this spiritual food, we can enhance our physical and spiritual energy?" she asked, her voice filled with shock.
Chen Tian nodded and replied, "Exactly! But such food should not exist on Earth; it can only be found in the cultivation world, where spiritual beasts and spiritual chefs exist."
"Husband, what is a spiritual chef?" Emilia asked, her curiosity piqued.
Chen Tian smiled and explained, "A spiritual chef is a skilled professional who specializes in preparing and cooking spiritual food.
They have the ability to infuse the ingredients with Qi but refine the meat, making the food not only delicious but also highly nourishing for the body and soul.
They are highly in demand in the cultivation world, and their foods are often sought after by cultivators."
Emilia nodded, fascinated by this new information.
The process of creating this food is extremely complex, and the stronger the beast's body, the stronger a spiritual chef's cultivation would be.
'So even a Spiritual Chef exists in this world, interesting,' Chen Tian thought to himself.
"Aria, can we get in touch with the chef? Or ask the restaurant from where their food is sourced?" Chen Tian asked eagerly.
If there are body-refinement beasts on earth, shouldn't there also be stronger beasts?
Aria shook her head and replied, "I'm afraid it won't be that easy. Many tried to get in touch with the chef or find out the source of their food, but they were all unsuccessful. Even the rich and powerful, who have many connections in the city, have tried, but they couldn't do anything."
Her voice contained a hint of disappointment. Chen Tian's excitement deflated slightly, but he could understand that something like this kind of food shouldn't be here.
'Asking for the chef or where they get their supply would be pointless if so,' Chen Tian thought to himself.
They ate their food and left after, feeling satisfied but still curious about the mysterious chef and the source of the restaurant food.
"Girls, I think you should return home for now," Chen Tian said.
"Husband, aren't you coming with us?" Emilia asked.
Chen Tian smiled and shook his head. "I still have some work to do before I can join you. I will return home later."
"Um, okay." Aria and Emilia didn't question his decision and left the restaurant, bidding Chen Tian goodbye.
As the girls left, Chen Tian also departed.
With his cultivation right now, he didn't need a car or any means of transportation. He gracefully stepped out of the restaurant and began running.
His movements were swift and effortless; no one could see him—not just because of his speed, but also because Chen Tian used his spiritual Qi to mask his presence.
In no time at all, he arrived in front of a hospital.
Yes, he decided to pay a visit to Mei Hua, who was still recovering from her injuries.
Chen Tian entered the hospital and made his way to Mei Hua's room. The scent of antiseptic filled the air as he quietly opened the door.
Mei Hua looked up from her bed, surprised to see him standing there.
"C-Chen Tian!"
A smile spread across Chen Tian's face as he approached her, his presence bringing a sense of comfort and warmth.
"Hey, how are you doing?" he said softly, his voice filled with genuine concern.
Mei Hua's expression changed as she remembered something: "I've been better, but seeing you here makes everything a little bit easier."
"I wanted to make sure you're alright."
Mei Hua nodded, grateful for his visit.
Chen Tian pulled up a chair and sat beside her, their conversation flowing effortlessly.
Chen Tian also noticed that Mei Hua was acting strangely this time.
Mei Hua was always like a big sister to Chen Tian, always looking out for him and the girls and offering advice.
But today, she seemed vulnerable and in need of someone to lean on.
Throughout the entire conversation, she blushed and seemed to be at a loss for words at times.
Chen Tian couldn't help but think that something was wrong.
'Did I do something?' Chen Tian wondered silently to himself.
Mei Hua was stealing glances at him; it felt as if she wanted to ask him something but wasn't sure how to approach the topic.
Chen Tian also couldn't figure out why Mei Hua was acting so differently today. He had always known her to be confident and assertive, never one to shy away from speaking her mind.
It was clear that there was a weight on her shoulders, but Chen Tian couldn't quite put his finger on what it could be.
Time passed, and Chen Tian decided to leave. He still needed to go to that old man and see if he has done his job.
Something that was important for Chen Tian's future on Earth.
When he tried to leave, Mei Hua looked at him, her voice trembling as she asked,
"Will you come back?"
Chen Tian was taken aback by her sudden tone.
He nodded and reassured her, "I promise, I'll come back."
"Mm." A happy smile appeared on Mei Hua's face as she heard that he would come back.
Then Chen Tian left her room and was about to leave the hospital.
"Chen Tian, you're here?" A delicate voice called out from behind him.
