Chapter 421: Chapter 297: The Rain Stops
Xue Yuantong’s words made Jiang Ning quite happy, and after some thought, he decided to reward her.
In the classroom, the scenes on the screen changed, and the fluorescent light tinged the faces of the students, reflecting the youthful features of the boys and girls.
With Jiang Ning’s eyesight, he could even make out the movie scenes on the surface of their eyeballs.
Jiang Ning opened his Divine Sense, fully scanning the entire school to ensure that nobody would come to class 8 in the short term.
He circulated his Spiritual Power and set up an Array in the area before him.
This Array could conceal things from sight and smell, among other senses.
Jiang Ning flicked his wrist, and from his Storage Ring, he took out a transparent bag filled with bright yellow corn kernels, which looked extremely delicate and beautiful.
This corn was cultivated on Hu Qi Mountain. After careful selection, it was nourished with spirit soil and cultivated using unique methods from the Cultivation World.
In addition to the corn kernels, Jiang Ning also prepared oil, sugar, and a pot of water.
This lake water, purified from a mountain spring on Hu Qi Mountain and nourished by Spiritual Energy, could enhance the human body’s immunity and replenish various components.
If it were sold, fetching a five-figure sum would not be a problem.
After preparing a few items, Jiang Ning attracted Spiritual Power and suspended the ingredients in the air.
If Jiang Ning hadn’t set up the Array in advance, Xue Yuantong would have certainly exclaimed it was magic, and the classmates would have been utterly amazed.
But because the Array concealed it, this grand act went unnoticed by everyone.
Thinking about this, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but recall when he encountered a girl named Ding Shuyan from Experimental Class 1 at the start of his first year of high school.
She possessed a particularly magical "Sixth Sense" that could detect his presence.
He wondered if it were Ding Shuyan instead of Bai Yuxia at this moment, whether she would notice something unusual about him?
Probably.
But that would be all. In the face of absolute power, the so-called "Sixth Sense" was just a minor path.
Jiang Ning’s Divine Sense reached out to Class 1. Ding Shuyan wasn’t there today, which surprised him a little.
Jiang Ning no longer cared about these matters and released a jet of Spiritual Fire, a bright cyan flame that was very eye-catching in the classroom.
The cyan flame was only 10 centimeters from Bai Yuxia’s hair, she would’ve probably lost her hair were it not for the Array blocking it.
Jiang Ning directly threw the oil into the air, and the moment the flame touched the oil, it immediately made a sizzling noise along with a spreading fragrance, all of which the Array prevented from dispersing.
Once the oil was heated, Jiang Ning released the corn. The corn fell like rain outside the window and seemed to be caught by an invisible hand.
Water formed from the mountain spring of Hu Qi Mountain moistened the corn, removing impurities from its surface and making it even more succulent.
Jiang Ning sprinkled sugar into the hot oil, then laid the distinct kernels of corn on it, making a "pop pop" cracking sound.
Under careful control, the corn and sugar were mixed evenly, better than any chef could achieve because it was 360° aerial popcorn!
Three minutes later, a strong milky aroma wafted out. If not for Jiang Ning’s use of the Array, the fragrance would have spread throughout the entire class.
Jiang Ning took out a paper bucket and poured the hot popcorn into it mid-air.
The popcorn was full and round, with a golden color that was very tempting, making one’s heart race just by looking at it.
Jiang Ning tried one; it was crispy, fresh, and full of creamy flavor, leaving a lasting impression. n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
The taste was almost identical to the popcorn he ate in the Cultivation World in a previous life, crispy and sweet.
Back then, Jiang Ning also made popcorn during his leisure time.
Jiang Ning opened a door in the Array, letting a stream of fragrance drift toward Xue Yuantong.
With just a whiff of the scent, Xue Yuantong seemed to have an instinctive reaction in the darkness, her expression immediately suspicious, her eyes locking onto Jiang Ning.
"I smell popcorn. Are you eating it behind my back?" Xue Yuantong questioned.
Jiang Ning declared confidently, "Yes, I’m eating it."
Saying so, he grabbed a handful and put it into his mouth.
’Damn! Jiang Ning is eating alone behind her back, how infuriating!’
Xue Yuantong was furious, and with her strong personality, she definitely would not bother with Jiang Ning again. However, after smelling the scent, she decided to give Jiang Ning a chance.
She whispered, "Have I been good to you, Jiang Ning?"
"Good."
"Then how should you repay me?"
Jiang Ning pushed the bucket of popcorn toward her, "I’ll treat you."
"Eh?" Xue Yuantong was surprised; she had thought Jiang Ning would stall for a while more, but he gave in so quickly.
It seemed her authority was growing day by day.
Xue Yuantong didn’t refuse; she grabbed two pieces of popcorn:
"They’re actually warm!"
Before she could be surprised, the popcorn reached her mouth, and with just one bite, her tongue was wowed. She had never tasted popcorn this good before.
She instinctively reached for a second bite.
And so, Xue Yuantong enjoyed the movie, her small hand grabbing Jiang Ning’s popcorn and eating with gusto.
Eating popcorn always comes with a little noise, and Chen Siqing, sitting at the desk in front, watching the movie, noticed and looked toward Xue Yuantong.
The classroom lights were off, but the screen showing the movie was lit. With the faint light, Chen Siqing saw Xue Yuantong eating popcorn!
She hadn’t smelt it, but just by hearing that sound, she yearned for some.
To secretly eat popcorn while secretly watching a movie in class would be the greatest enjoyment in life, she thought. It would be far better than a movie theater!
Xue Yuantong glanced at Chen Siqing and bragged on her own initiative:
"Jiang Ning’s popcorn is super delicious!"
"Ah, really?" Chen Siqing asked.
Bai Yuxia and Chen Siqing were deskmates. As she watched the movie, her gaze passed over Chen Siqing, and she naturally noticed their exchange.
