These People Were Definitely Not Serious

"Kid, I advise you to think before you speak!"

Yu Tianheng glared fiercely as he warned Tang San.

Tang San despaired. He was about to eat the General's cooking—he was truly finished.

He had Twin Martial Souls. He had yet to make the most of their greatest advantage, had yet to become famous throughout the world. It would be such a pity if he died like this.

The others from Shrek Academy were trembling as well. Tang San did not need to tell them about the meal's side effects.

Just looking at it, it was clearly not fit for human consumption.

Seeing how terrified they were, Yu Tianheng worried that something might go wrong. He smiled gently and explained, "Ahem! You've misunderstood the General. Don't be fooled by how unusual her cooking looks—the effects are genuinely excellent. Not only can it increase Soul Power, but it can also cleanse your meridians and temper your body. Even Titled Douluo would beg for it!"

"But... this..."

Zhao Wuji swallowed.

It could increase Soul Power?

They would have to survive eating it first.

"Even a Titled Douluo's strength can be increased?!"

Tang San's eyes gleamed.

He was a member of the Tang Sect and also made poisons.

What kind of medicinal ingredients had he not encountered before?

As long as something was useful, he would dare to eat it even if it was shit.

Then he recalled how formidable the General was. Perhaps she truly possessed such an ability.

Anticipation filled Tang San's eyes.

There were so many people here, after all. The General would not kill all of them, would she?

Besides, Tang San understood these people's personalities.

Especially Raiden Mei.

She was very gentle with others. With her around, no one would be poisoned to death.

"I... I don't dare eat it." Ning Rongrong shook her head furiously. As a little princess, how could she possibly be willing to eat such things?

So she quickly summoned her martial soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

"You... if any of you dare stop me, when I return, I'll have Sword Grandfather and Bone Grandfather kill every last one of you!"

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? You're the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

Yu Yuanzhen turned and looked at Ning Rongrong curiously.

"That's right! If you don't want to provoke the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, then don't stop me!"

Ning Rongrong snorted.

"Hahaha! Someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is even better. Stay here. This is a great fortune for you. If those two old men learned of it, they would be thanking this old man before anything else."

Yu Yuanzhen became even more excited instead.

"You... you dare!" Ning Rongrong was furious. Since childhood, no one had ever rejected her like this.

"Haha! Why wouldn't I dare? The mere Sword and Bone Douluo? My strength has increased tremendously—I've been wanting to find an opponent to test myself against!"

Yu Yuanzhen laughed domineeringly, anticipation shining in his eyes.

"You... who exactly are you?!" Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth. If Yu Yuanzhen dared speak like this, his background had to be extraordinary.

"This old man is Yu Yuanzhen!"

Yu Yuanzhen shouted.

Ning Rongrong's pupils contracted. Then she frowned, refusing to believe it. "You can't be. Yu Yuanzhen isn't this young."

Yu Yuanzhen had become younger after consuming immortal herbs, which was why Ning Rongrong had not recognized him at once.

"Believe it or not! Little girl, you're not going anywhere today. Stay here and properly accept the General's gift!"

A smile curled across Yu Yuanzhen's lips. With him here, how much trouble could little Ning Rongrong possibly cause?

Ning Rongrong was nearly furious to death, but there was nothing she could do. She was still too weak on her own.

"It's quite lively over by the General's side. Hm? It seems someone else is approaching?"

Starry Sky was helping Sister Mei make dumplings when he suddenly sensed someone drawing near.

Thinking about it, it was probably Snake Woman and Meng Yiran arriving.

After all, they were also pursuing that Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent.

Sure enough, two people rapidly approached.

One was old and one was young. The elderly woman looked to be around sixty or seventy. Her full head of white hair was combed exceptionally neatly, and though there were many wrinkles on her face, her complexion was rosy like that of an infant. Her eyes gleamed sharply.

Meng Yiran, who followed beside the elderly woman, was a beautiful young girl.

She had chin-length short hair and looked sixteen or seventeen. Her neat, fitted outfit tightly outlined her already well-developed figure.

A pair of dark brown eyes curiously studied the scene before her.

She simply could not understand it. In the perilous Star Dou Great Forest, someone was actually cooking with such enthusiasm?

"Who are you people? Have you seen a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent pass by here?"

Snake Woman did not dare provoke the people here lightly.

There were simply too many of them, and every one of them looked extraordinary.

"You mean the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent? There, it's in that pot."

Starry Sky pointed at the large pot Raiden Shogun was cooking in and smiled faintly.

"It... it's in the pot? Th-this is such a waste! The Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent is such a precious soul beast, yet you... you only wanted to eat it!"

Snake Woman trembled with anger.

The Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent had only been out of their sight for a short while.

If someone had absorbed that soul beast's Soul Ring, they would surely be sitting cross-legged on the ground and absorbing it right now.

Yet no one here was quietly absorbing a Soul Ring.

Above the pot where the Shogun was cooking, two purple Soul Rings floated in the air.

They had directly killed the soul beast and thrown it into the pot.

"Grandma, my Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent..." Meng Yiran said aggrievedly from the side.

They had worked hard for days just to obtain that Soul Ring.

And now it had actually been turned into food?

"Yiran, Grandma will find you an even better soul beast. Sigh..."

The auras these people gave off were far too powerful, and they had moved together. They were likely members of some major sect.

They could not afford to offend them.

Meng Yiran looked even more aggrieved. "But Grandma, we can't just let them take that Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent like this!"

"Ahem! So you'd been chasing that Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent for a long time. My wife didn't do it on purpose. How about this? We're here to hunt soul beasts too. Travel with us, and I promise I'll help you find a more suitable Soul Ring."

Starry Sky smiled slightly, easing the atmosphere.

"Then this old woman will thank you, little brother." Snake Woman's eyes flickered. These people were obviously formidable. With their help, they truly might be able to find a better soul beast.

Many powerful soul beasts were deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.

Even with her and Dragon Duke's strength, they did not dare venture there.

Although Meng Yiran was proud, she could tell how powerful these people were. Since Starry Sky had said he would help her find a soul beast, she no longer pursued the matter.

Instead, she wiped at the corner of her mouth. What were they cooking over there? Why did it smell so good?

"Brother Sky, I feel much better now. I can temper my body again."

Just then, Zhu Zhuqing sat up from the ground and looked at Starry Sky with delight.

"Oh? Qing, your body is recovering faster and faster."

Starry Sky said in surprise.

"It's because of the herbs Brother Sky gave me. The meridians in my body are smoother now, so I recover faster too," Zhu Zhuqing said happily.

"Then stand properly. Lightning, descend!"

As he spoke, Starry Sky released a bolt of lightning that struck directly onto Zhu Zhuqing's body.

Snake Woman and Meng Yiran, who had only just arrived, shuddered, their eyes filled with fear.

They were striking people with lightning... Were these people actually normal?

Had they walked right into a tiger's den?
