Always Hungry

"Yi... Hou Yi Shoots the Suns... It was actually Hou Yi Shoots the Suns... It was actually Hou Yi Shoots the Suns..." Yue Qianchou kept muttering to himself, his expression becoming dazed.

He admitted he hadn't read many books in his past life, but he was very familiar with the well-known story of Hou Yi Shoots the Suns down the suns. He rarely even thought about such myths in his daily life, yet now he was hearing people talk about Hou Yi Shoots the Suns in another world. What could be the connection between the two? He was now having a strange feeling, unable to distinguish between his past life and this one.

Without Nong Zhu said, "It was a great god named Yi who shot down the sun. I don't know if his name was Hou Yi. You're not going to tell me again that you know that Yi god who shot down the sun?"

Yue Qianchou didn't hear what he said at all, still muttering, "It was actually Hou Yi Shoots the Suns..."

Nong Zhu turned around abruptly, somewhat surprised to see him like this. Listening closely, she realized he was repeating the same phrase over and over. Nong Zhu's eyes narrowed slightly, lost in thought, her slender fingers tapping the armrest of the rattan chair. She didn't disturb him, quietly waiting for him to come to his senses...

However, this wait lasted until the moon was high in the sky and countless stars filled the night. Suddenly, the mournful "caw caw" of a Yue Qianchou swept across the sky. Yue Qianchou shivered and came to his senses, subconsciously looking up at the crow flying past the bright moon, his gaze fixed on the beautiful moon. He was unable to move again, and suddenly the words "Chang'e" escaped his lips.

Then he exclaimed "Wow!" and reached out to grab Nong Zhu on the rattan chair. He grabbed Nong Zhu's shirt by the chest, lifted Nong Zhu up, and asked excitedly, "Did that great god Hou Yi have a wife named Chang'e?"

Nong Zhu was a little dazed. He had actually been captured by him like this. He was so frustrated by Nongzhu's crazy behavior that he had nothing to say. He just swore and said, "I'll fucking kill you."

"What do you mean?" Yue Qianchou asked, bewildered. He slowly recovered.

Nong Zhu immediately cursed, "You bastard, if you don't let go, I'll make you use your feet to hold chopsticks from now on, then you'll know what I mean!"

"Uh..." Yue Qianchou was startled when he came to his senses. He quickly let go of her hand and looked around, only to realize that it was already dark. He immediately asked in astonishment, "How did it suddenly get dark?"

"You bastard, you're thinking about other people's wives until it gets dark, and you still have the nerve to ask me?" Nong Zhu said angrily. "That son of a bitch, he actually dared to lay a hand on me. I haven't suffered such a loss in a thousand years. If it weren't for that 'Ruyi Pill,' I would have shown you why it's so dark today."

Yue Qianchou's head was still a bit fuzzy; he only caught the beginning of what he heard, not the end. Looking confused, he asked, "I'm thinking about someone else's wife? No! I haven't thought about anyone else's wife."

Nong Zhu opened her mouth, but since she was unlucky today, she was too lazy to argue. She said weakly, "You said that the wife of the great god Yi is named Chang'e. Who knows what you're thinking?"

"Hou Yi's wife? Chang E?" Yue Qianchou was stunned for a moment, then excitedly exclaimed, "That's right, no, wrong, damn it, why is it so hard to talk to you... Hou Yi's wife is called Chang'e, Chang'e's Chang, Chang'e's E, she's called Chang'e, do you understand?"

He said it was effortless, but Nong Zhu found it difficult to understand, her eyes glazed over, almost completely confused. Forget everything else, she cursed first, "You bastard, what kind of nonsense are you spouting? Are you even speaking human language?"

Yue Qianchou didn't mind at all and asked excitedly, "Whatever language it is, as long as I can understand it, have you ever heard of Chang'e?"

"It would be a miracle if I could understand that!" Nong Zhu was speechless again, rubbed his face with both hands, and replied seriously, "Who is Chang'e?"

"Of course it's Hou Yi's wife!" Yue Qianchou said, his eyes sparkling.

Nong Zhu rolled her eyes and roared, "What do I care about Hou Yi's wife?"

"Didn't you say that the wife of the great god Yi was named Chang'e? Let me correct you, it should be Chang'e. Since you can say that, you must have heard of her. Tell me about her quickly," Yue Qianchou said eagerly. The feeling of being born into two lives was unpleasant, but suddenly discovering traces of two worlds intersecting at some point... that feeling! It was quite like the excitement of meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

"What the hell?" Nong Zhu couldn't help but blurt out again, poking Yue Qianchou's chest with her finger and saying, "Are you out of your mind?! You were the one who told me that the Great God Yi's wife was named Chang'e, how did it become my name?"

"Hey! Don't deny it! I clearly heard you say it with both ears." Yue Qianchou's eyes darted around, and he immediately patted his chest and said, "As long as you tell me what you know about Chang'e, I'll give you a 'Seven Orifices Exquisite Pill,' and I won't go back on my word."

"Uh..." Nong Zhu was taken aback, thinking to himself, could this kid really have something wrong with his brain? Whatever, let's get him a spirit pill first, and if there's a real problem, let Bi Changchun treat him. He also rolled his eyes and nodded, saying, "Yes! The Great God Yi's wife is named Chang'e, that's what I said, give me the spirit pill!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.

"What's the rush!" Yue Qianchou was overjoyed and asked somewhat recklessly, "Tell me first how you met Chang E."

"Nonsense! If I had the ability to know Yi the Great God's wife, Chang E, would I still be standing here spouting nonsense with you?" Nong Zhu's expression turned serious as she stared at Yue Qianchou and said, "Are you really out of your mind?"

"Oh! I spoke too hastily," Yue Qianchou said sincerely. "I meant, I wanted you to tell me some legends about the great god Yi and his wife Chang'e."

Nong Zhu pinched his chin and pondered, "What kind of legend could a god who can shoot down the sun have with his wife?"

Fearing he might not remember, Yue Qianchou pointed to the bright, shining moon and reminded him, "The legend of Chang'e and the moon, there's a palace on the moon, what's it called again?"

Nong Zhu was still thinking of making up a legend to fool people with a magic pill first. But after being reminded like that, he was suddenly in a real bind. He paused, then hesitated, "The Moon Palace?"

"Wrong, wrong." Yue Qianchou waved his hand and reminded him again, "There are three characters in total. The first character is 'Guang'. It contains the character 'Guang'. Think about it again."

With the character "Guang" in it? Even a mid Spirit Transformation stage like Nong Zhu was completely bewildered, staring blankly at the moon before weakly attempting to answer, "Guangyue Palace? Guangming Palace? Guangda Palace? Guangyuan Palace..."

After listing a whole bunch of palaces, Yue Qianchou shook his head and denied them one by one. Nong Zhu was so bored that she finally couldn't help but shout, "You know what palaces they are, so why are you asking me? What palaces are they?"

"The Moon Palace!" After revealing the correct answer, Yue Qianchou asked again, "Chang E kept a small animal, and there was a tree planted outside the Moon Palace. What kind of small animal did she keep? What kind of tree did she plant?"

Nong Zhu opened his mouth, then his expression twitched, and he trembled as he pointed a finger and shouted fiercely, "You brat, how dare you play me! Die!" Nong Zhu suddenly realized that this kid was usually very clever. Why would he ask such a stupid question? It was obvious that he was using a elixir as a pretext to tease him, and yet he had been like a dog seeing a bone, eagerly moving forward.

With a loud "bang," Yue Qianchou kicked out and screamed, flying five or six meters away into the flower bushes.

"Damn it! These flowers have thorns!" Yue Qianchou's scream immediately came from the flower bushes, "Nong Zhu, what's wrong with you? Are you out of your mind?!"

"Am I out of my mind?" Nong Zhu pointed to her own nose, then pointed at the person who had crawled out of the flower bushes, and spat, "If I keep arguing with a lunatic like you, even if there's nothing wrong, it'll turn into something wrong. You bastard! How dare you play me? Don't you want to live?"

"Damn it, so many thorns, my butt!" A figure jumped out from the flower bushes. Under the moonlight, Yue Qianchou tiptoed and cursed as he walked, "Nong Zhu, you just wait and see, one day I'll throw you into a pile of thorns and have my fill of it."

"Stubborn! I'll let you enjoy it to the fullest right now." Nong Zhu snorted coldly, and in a flash, she appeared behind him, delivering a lightning-fast kick directly to his butt.

"Ah!" Yue Qianchou screamed again as he was kicked into the air, crashing through the door and rolling inside, where there was a loud crashing sound of tables and chairs overturning.

Zhang Peng and Furong, who was already in tears, rushed over to help him up. Yue Qianchou pointed at Nong Zhu with a grimace, wanting to curse, but then he remembered that a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, and he couldn't possibly beat him, so he forced out, "You're ruthless, we'll see. Zhang Peng, close the door!"

As soon as the door closed, Yue Qianchou ran to the bedroom, stripped naked, and ran to the bright spot in the room. He stood there spread-eagled and cried out, "Furong, come and help me remove the thorns... That old man is too cruel! He actually sealed my Dantian and deliberately made me suffer!"

When Nong Zhu kicked out for the first time, she already used hidden force to seal his Dantian. Otherwise, with his Nascent Soul Realm stage cultivation, the little flower thorn wouldn't have been able to hurt him.

It took quite a while to remove the thorns. The injury itself wasn't a problem; he wasn't that weak. The key issue was the hidden trick Nong Zhu had used inside him— his Dantian was sealed tightly. Furong and Zhang Peng couldn't undo it. For a cultivator, a sealed Dantian meant constant danger to life. It seemed they would have to ask Nong Zhu to be lenient.

"Zhang Peng! Go and rest! I'm fine here." After dismissing Zhang Peng, he reassured Furong a couple of times, telling her not to worry. Yue Qianchou then dawdled outside to the swing, glanced at Nongzhu lying on the rattan chair, who was staring at him with a cold Nong Zhu, coughed awkwardly twice, pushed the swing rope, and sighed, "The moonlight is lovely tonight!"

"Hmph! Not bad. You want me to send you to the Moon Palace to see Chang E?" Nong Zhu sneered.
