The True Value of the Golden Wheel of Merit! Little Foodie Bixiao the Fairy!

"Hiss—"

Even the well-traveled Yun Xiao couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.

"Such dense merit!"

"What exactly did this person do to earn such favor from the Heavenly Dao?"

In the Primordial World, merit was the hardest currency of protection and the most intuitive measure of a person's virtue.

One possessing such vast oceans of merit must be a sage who had rendered great service to heaven and earth and shown great kindness to all living beings.

And yet, at this very moment.

That crimson dragon, wreathed in karmic sin and fierce Sha Qi, had actually offered up a primordial spiritual treasure to blast this great virtuous one to death?

"How outrageous!"

Bixiao's willow-leaf brows shot up, fire blazing in her eyes.

"That vile dragon reeks of blood and slaughter—clearly a heinous villain. And he dares to hunt down a Dao-friend with such immense merit?"

"This is defying heaven itself!"

"Elder Sister, I can't take it anymore!"

Before her words had even faded.

Bixiao's delicate hand rose.

"Vile dragon! Enough of your arrogance!"

A beam of golden light shot from her sleeve.

The light swelled with the wind, transforming into two Primordial Yin-Yang Flood Dragons, head meeting tail.

They coiled around each other like a pair of scissors honed to the ultimate sharpness, carrying a terrifying Sha Qi that could sever heaven and earth, and shot straight downward.

The Golden Flood Dragon Scissors!

This was a lethal treasure bestowed by Tongtian Jiaozhu, its power so great that even a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal would give it a wide berth.

Below.

Ao Lie, who was just about to incinerate Ye Xuan with the Flame God Pearl, suddenly felt his scalp crawl as a sense of impending doom surged through him.

He looked up in terror.

Only to see two golden flood dragons rapidly growing larger in his pupils.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound rang out.

That Flame God Pearl, brimming with overwhelming might, along with the Sky-Burning Sea of Fire it had unleashed, was directly snipped in half at the waist by the two dragons, its spiritual light extinguished as it fell into the sea.

Then.

A flash of golden light streaked by.

Ao Lie didn't even have time to scream.

His indestructible Ten-Thousand-Zhang Dragon Body was severed cleanly at the waist into two pieces.

The protective immortal light of a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal was as fragile as a sheet of paper before these Golden Flood Dragon Scissors.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two halves of the colossal dragon corpse plunged into the sea, blood instantly staining ten thousand leagues of waves crimson.

A Primordial Unity Golden Immortal-level powerhouse had fallen here, body and soul utterly destroyed.

Ye Xuan stood frozen.

His hand, which had been about to open the Double Piercing Gate, hung midair as he stared blankly at the scene before him.

Dead?

That Primordial Unity Golden Immortal who had just been driving him into a corner had been one-shotted by someone's scissors?

He looked up toward the sky.

He saw three auspicious clouds slowly descend, landing on the sea's surface.

The radiance faded, revealing the true forms of three female immortals.

The one in the lead wore white robes, dignified and elegant, her aura like an orchid in a secluded valley, exuding the transcendent Dao rhythm unique to a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.

On the left stood one in a green dress, her expression cool and aloof, a sword cradled in her arms, like a snow lotus on an icy peak.

On the right was one in a green skirt, lively and mischievous, idly playing with a miniature pair of golden scissors in her hand, her gaze curiously fixed on Ye Xuan.

"I am Yun Xiao. Greetings, Dao-friend."

The white-robed female immortal gave a slight bow, her voice warm as polished jade, like a spring breeze brushing the face.

"Just now, seeing that vile dragon committing violence, I acted in haste and startled you, Dao-friend. I hope you will forgive me."

Ye Xuan snapped back to his senses, immediately retracting all his divine abilities and aura, straightened his robes, and solemnly bowed to the three female immortals.

"Thank you, three fairies, for saving my life!"

"If not for your intervention, this humble one would likely have met a grim fate today."

At this, the green-skirted fairy Bixiao couldn't help but lean in.

She sized up Ye Xuan, her large eyes sparkling as she stared fixedly at that golden wheel of merit.

"Wow! Your merit is terrifyingly huge!"

Bixiao exclaimed in amazement.

"It's almost solidified! Did you save billions of living beings? Or patch up the Heavenly Dao?"

"Even our senior brother... ahem, doesn't have this much merit hanging behind his head."

Beside her, the aloof fairy Qiong Xiao gave a slight nod, a flicker of admiration in her eyes.

In the Primordial Wilderness, strength alone didn't always earn respect, but high merit made you an honored guest wherever you went.

Ye Xuan smiled and didn't hide the truth.

"This humble one is Ye Xuan, the Human Emperor."

"This merit is merely luck—I pioneered some cultivation methods for the human race and earned the Heavenly Dao's favor."

"Human Emperor?"

Yun Xiao paused briefly, then realization dawned.

"So you're the Human Emperor personally appointed by Saintess Nuwa."

The three fairies exchanged glances, understanding dawning.

No wonder he had such merit.

Teaching an entire race and founding a cultivation system—that was indeed great merit.

"Daoist Human Emperor, these are my younger sisters, Qiong Xiao and Bixiao."

At this, Yun Xiao introduced them with a smile.

"So you're the three esteemed disciples under Saint Tongtian."

Ye Xuan clasped his hands, a sincere smile spreading across his face.

The Three Fairies of Interception Sect.

These were famous allies in the Primordial Wilderness, known for their loyalty and righteousness.

Today, he'd forged a good connection.

On the sea surface, two massive sections of the Crimson Dragon Corpse still rose and fell with the waves.

Though life had been severed, the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal-level flesh still radiated astonishing spiritual energy.

Ye Xuan didn't let this "trophy" soak in the seawater for long.

He swept his sleeve wide, using the Sleeve Universe technique to store the two mountain-like dragon corpses into his personal space.

Once done, he turned to face the three stunning fairies, flashing his signature bright smile.

"Three fairies, your timely aid today saved me from a pressing crisis. Words can't repay this kindness, but since the evil dragon has been slain, wouldn't it be a waste not to make good use of it?"

"This is a true dragon at the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm, long nourished by the sun and moon essence in the deep sea. Its flesh is the most tender and firm—a rare and potent tonic in this world."

"This humble one may not match your cultivation, but I dare say my cooking skills are passable."

"Would the three fairies do me the honor of joining me for a 'Full Dragon Feast'?"

"Full Dragon Feast?"

Bixiao, who had been sizing up Ye Xuan, lit up at the words.

She was the famous little foodie of the Interception Sect.

On Golden Ao Island, she usually ate spirit fruits and jade nectar, but she'd rarely tasted Primordial Unity Golden Immortal-level dragon meat.

After all, though the Dragon Race had declined, they were still a major clan in the Primordial Wilderness—who would casually hunt a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal dragon for a meal?

"Yes, yes!"

Bixiao clapped her hands in delight, her emerald green skirt swaying in the wind, making her look especially lively and cute.

"That evil dragon was fierce—cutting it down was justice, and eating it is making the best use of it! Daoist Ye Xuan's idea suits me perfectly!"

Beside her, Yun Xiao gave her little sister a helpless look, her eyes full of affection.

She had wanted to decline, as they still needed to travel the Primordial Wilderness and comprehend the Heavenly Dao.

But seeing Bixiao's greedy expression and Ye Xuan's sincere gaze, she swallowed her refusal.

"Since the Daoist so warmly invites us, we sisters will impose on you."

Yun Xiao nodded slightly, her demeanor graceful.

Qiong Xiao, who had remained silent, though still cool, gave an almost imperceptible nod.

The group did not linger over the sea but instead found a scenic island nearby to land on.

On the island, the sand was white and the water clear.

Ye Xuan wasted no words. He directly took out the most essential section of Dragon Spine Meat from his space.

This piece of meat was crystalline and translucent, with distinct grain lines, exuding a dense Crimson Mist.

Even though it had left the body, it still contained a heart-shaking energy.

"Rise!"

Ye Xuan pointed a finger.

A massive cauldron forged from refined gold crashed to the ground.

He skillfully drew sweet Mountain Spring Water, washed the dragon meat clean, and cut it into evenly sized chunks.

With every cut, he precisely removed the residual Sha Qi from the dragon meat, leaving only the purest essence.

Next.

Ye Xuan flipped his palm.

A crimson flame rose up.

It was not ordinary fire, but the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire he had learned in the Perfect World. Used for grilling meat and stewing soup, it was best at sealing in spiritual energy.

"Sizzle—"

When the first piece of Dragon Steak was set over the Vermilion Bird Fire to roast, an indescribable, exotic fragrance instantly spread across the island.

It was the primal aroma released by the flesh and blood of a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, mixed with the special spices Ye Xuan had brought from the human realm. It was an ultimate temptation to the sense of smell.

"Gulp."

Bixiao swallowed her saliva without any regard for her Fairy image.

She crouched beside the grill, staring eagerly at the golden, sizzling dragon meat.

"So fragrant..."

Even Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao slightly widened their Beautiful Eyes, showing a hint of surprise.

They had long since stopped eating, having transcended mortal sustenance for years.

But the scent emanating from the dragon meat had actually stirred their appetites.
