"Well, can't be helped then."
He hadn't had a barbecue in a long time and was hoping to show off his skills, but without any firewood, it was impossible. With a sigh of resignation, Mu Chen glanced at the Ten-Colored Lotus Platform. After a moment of contemplation, he said to the two women, "How about this? Just be patient for a little while, and we'll skip lunch for now. I have to go experience the cultivation speed in the Eternal Holy Domain first. If there's time this afternoon, I'll make you all some barbecue. How does that sound?"
Mu Junwu looked at Mu Chen in surprise. "You know how to barbecue?"
Mu Chen smiled. "When you're out and about, you've got to treat yourself well."
As he spoke, Mu Chen strode toward the Ten-Colored Lotus Platform. Turning his head back to Mu Junwu, he pointed at the dark green petal and said, "It looks like the door is closed again."
