A Hearty Feast

Before long, the White Skirt Girl and the White Tiger Immortal King appeared in the Cangli Mountain Range.

"Master, over here!"

Since leaving the Small Mountain Village, the White Tiger Immortal King has been making use of his "tiger nose".

A person who emerges from that terrifying Small Mountain Village will naturally carry the unique Dao Rhyme of that Small Mountain Village, which his nose can detect.

So he led the White Skirt Girl forward.

Before long, they entered a grove of trees, where the faint sound of a waterfall could be heard, mixed with bursts of laughter.

"Master, it should be just ahead."

The White Tiger Immortal King was extremely solemn.

"Don't be afraid."

The White Skirt Girl spoke, but a hint of nervousness crept onto her face.

After all, here, you're very likely to encounter one of your own kind...

Hearing the cheerful laughter coming from ahead, she walked forward step by step.

Finally, after passing through the woods, we saw the scene ahead: a waterfall pool and a meadow.

It was a group of young people, both men and women, who had set up a campfire and were grilling all sorts of delicious food.

There were roasted chicken legs, roasted chicken wings, roasted potato slices, and several iron racks with glowing embers that quickly cooked the food.

Those people then added various seasonings to the cooked food and continued to cook and grill it, releasing enticing aromas that wafted far and wide.

"Jiuzheng, this is culinary disaster! Everything's burnt and inedible..."

Dugu Yuqing and Lin Jiuzheng grilling chicken wings, but they didn't control the heat well and one of the chicken wings burned. Dugu Yuqing looked at the chicken wing and felt like crying.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother, I'll use the Celestial Master Dao's method to roast the next piece, it'll be absolutely fine!"

Lin Jiuzheng chuckled and said, "Throw away this burnt one, our beggar's chicken should be ready soon!"

"Don't throw it away! Give me the burnt part; if people won't eat it, the dogs will!"

Wu Dade was gnawing on a chicken leg while yelling, but then he let out a wail, and the little black dog barked again, and the man-dog fight started again!

"You damn dog, you can bite me all you want, but give me back my chicken leg!"

The sound of Wu Dade struggling rang out.

The audience burst into laughter.

Meanwhile, Long Zixuan stared at a piece of fish that was grilled to a golden brown and glistening color, and muttered to himself for a long time:

"No, I can't eat it, I can't eat it... Even though it's just an ordinary spirit fish, not a dragon... eating it would be disrespectful to my dragon ancestors..."

"Junior Brother Zixuan, are you going to eat or not? If not, I'll eat it, okay?"

At this moment, Lu Rang grabbed the grilled fish and was about to eat it.

"Don't!"

Long Zixuan couldn't resist any longer, snatched it away, and gritted his teeth, saying:

"Never mind!"

He ate heartily, his eyes filled with happiness, and exclaimed, "So delicious!!"

"Junior Brother Zixuan, you actually ate fish! You're doomed! I'm going to go back to the pond and nag about it every day!"

Qing Chen was enjoying half a roast suckling pig, his mouth dripping with oil, when he suddenly made a joke.

Lu Rang then said, "Ahem, just a friendly reminder, Junior Brother Qing Chen, it seems you're a monk?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Chen was momentarily stunned, but then shook his head vigorously and said:

"My master said, 'Buddha sits in my heart, while wine and meat pass through my intestines!' I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid!"

He continued to eat voraciously!

Meanwhile, Nan Feng, Ziling, Xin Ning, and others surrounded Li Fan.

Li Fan, wearing an apron and holding a palm-leaf fan, looked as professional as a street vendor selling lamb skewers.

Li Fan's grilling skills were far superior to those of Dugu Yuqing and the others. The meat he grilled using a special grill was golden and crispy, just right. The duck meat, sprinkled with cumin and other spices, smelled incredibly fragrant!

Jiang Li stayed by his side, helping him out and handing him meat skewers.

"Master, it's my turn! It's my turn~~~"

Ziling's mouth was watering.

Li Fan smiled and handed her a duck leg, which Ziling devoured.

"I want one too!"

Nan Feng also received another duck leg.

Although Xin Ning is small, she has quite an appetite; she devoured half a roast chicken by herself.

Even the usually dignified Gongya couldn't resist joining in and eating meat!

Watching everyone scrambling and vying for the food, Li Fan felt incredibly happy, rediscovering a long-lost joy.

"Woof!"

Just then, the little black dog that was fighting with Wu Dade suddenly sensed something, abruptly raised its eyes, and looked towards the side of the woods.

"Woof... woof woof woof!"

At this moment, the little black dog seemed very scared and kept backing away!

Wu Dade scrambled to his feet, still clutching the brick, muttering to himself, "I'll smash your head in..."

But then he also saw the young girl walking towards him, and the old man!

"Um?"

Wu Dade was startled instantly. He sensed something was wrong and rushed over, saying:

"Master... someone's coming!"

He pointed to the old man and the White Skirt Girl.

His words seemed to carry a hint of urgency, causing all the disciples who were eating, drinking, and having fun to turn around and look at him.

"Hmm?? This... the aura of King of Immortality?"

Xin Ning's gaze swept over the White Tiger Immortal King, and a look of vigilance flashed in her eyes immediately!

Her gaze then fell upon the White Skirt Girl, and she stiffened even more:

"I can't fathom her true nature at all; who is she...?"

"The King of Immortality... Everyone be careful!"

Dugu Yuqing immediately transmitted his voice, staring intently at the White Tiger Immortal King!

"Is it the enemy? If it is, I'll grab my weapon... Too bad I didn't bring my grass!"

Lu Rang even used telepathy to communicate.

"Master... this?"

Nan Feng then looked at Li Fan.

The sudden appearance of a King of Immortality and a White Skirt Girl whose appearance was obscured made them both wary.

Li Fan was also taken aback. Why had everyone stopped? It was just an old man and a young boy.

These disciples are very shy!

He immediately said, "Everyone, continue eating your meat, don't worry about it."

Hearing Li Fan say this, the disciples, who had been on edge, instantly relaxed.

It seems there's no major problem!

Li Fan walked over with a faint smile and said:

"May I ask, gentlemen, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing Li Fan, the White Tiger Immortal King was instantly shaken, his pupils shrinking!

Sky...

He couldn't see through the young man in front of him, whose attire was so down-to-earth!

It felt like being with one's master...

A terrifying figure!

An absolutely terrifying person!

Most likely, they are beings who stand tall within... the Holy Path!

At the same time, he sensed a familiar presence, and looking up, he saw a white cat behind him...

That...

"The Supreme Ancestral Blood!"

The White Tiger Immortal King gasped!

This must be my own offspring!

I never expected to run into you here...

At that moment, he suddenly understood everything.

No wonder, no wonder that his descendants could produce a bloodline of the Supreme Ancestral Blood...

With such a terrifying figure by your side, anything is possible.

That's not surprising!

Although he recognized his descendants, he immediately held his breath, not daring to say a word, much less to rush forward and acknowledge them!

He knew that in front of his master and the young man before him, two peerless figures, he was nothing but trash and had no chance to speak at all!

If he could, he'd rather stay as far away as possible!

The White Skirt Girl looked at Li Fan, her clear and bright eyes filled with utter surprise!

Li Fan was wearing an apron...

He held a palm-leaf fan in his hand...

He looks exactly like an ordinary person.

However, even he himself seemed unable to discern the depth of his abilities...

How is that possible?

How could such a person exist in this world?

"A supreme being from the Yang Realm...?"

She murmured to herself.

How could the strongest being in the Yang Realm appear here?

Could it be...?

Could they be those great demons who were being hunted down and had no choice but to flee into the Yin Realm to hide...?!

Thinking of this, she was suddenly jolted!

This is... the only possibility!

Legend has it that in the Yang Realm, some powerful demons who are hunted down by various forces often flee into the Yin Realm when they have nowhere else to go!

Those great demons were all extremely vicious and ruthless, figures whom even many powerful forces in the Yang Realm could not subdue...

Thinking of this, a sense of fear flashed through her mind!

Oh no, have I encountered a great demon?

Such a person, even in the Yang Realm, would cause chaos!

In this world, it only takes a single thought for someone to want to kill you!

She immediately regretted it; she had acted impulsively, so impulsively!

Why come here to die!

Her heart was pounding, her nerves were on edge, and she was extremely nervous, but she still forced herself to say:

"You're the Great Demon... no, are you Xiao Li?"

She was so nervous that her speech was a bit incoherent!

Li Fan smiled and said, "It's me."

"What? You went to the village looking for me? Is there something you need?"

The White Skirt Girl became even more wary when she saw the gentle smile on his face!

Legend has it that those great demons, though seemingly gentle and refined on the outside, are all ruthless killers!

But she had already been discovered, and she knew that she couldn't escape now, no matter how hard she tried!

Because the difference in their levels of understanding is too great...

She gritted her teeth, deciding to test the waters first, and said:

"No, we... we were just passing by. We heard that the Small Mountain Village was... very magical, so we came to take a look. We really were just passing through!"

Li Fan was puzzled. Just passing by? Was this Small Mountain Village so magical?

However, he didn't say much; after all, he was a guest!

He immediately laughed and said:

"I see... I'm having a barbecue with my disciple. If you don't mind the smoky atmosphere, why don't you join us?"

The White Skirt Girl felt a chill run down her spine. What did this great demon want to do?

Let's have a barbecue together?

Could it be that the other party is performing some kind of evil ritual?

She was scared.

But she dared not refuse!

She knew that this kind of great demon would kill people on a whim!

With a slight tremor, she could only say:

"I... I can refuse..."

But before she could finish speaking, seeing a hint of doubt flicker in Li Fan's eyes, she immediately changed her words, saying:

"I can join, absolutely, I can!"

She gritted her teeth, as if to encourage herself!

The White Tiger Immortal King beside him also sensed the meaning in his master's words and was even more shocked.

What's going on here...?

His master was actually afraid of this young man?

Sky!

What level is the other party?

Unbelievable!

At this moment, he became even more reserved!

Li Fan smiled and said:

"That's good, come on over, let's join each other."

The White Skirt Girl had no choice but to muster her courage and follow.

"Here, try this."

Li Fan picked up a few perfectly grilled slices of pork belly from the grill, placed them on a plate, and handed them to the White Skirt Girl the white White Skirt Girl, along with a pair of chopsticks.

The White Skirt Girl was afraid.

It's over.

Poison!

It must be some kind of poison!

Who knows, after eating it, I might turn into some kind of demon or monster!

She lived a life of freedom, detached from worldly concerns, and had never seen or eaten anything like this before.

However, feeling the Great Devil King's gaze upon her, she still managed to pick up a piece of meat with difficulty and put it in her mouth.

But, the next moment.

The flavor of the grilled meat explodes in your mouth!

"Wait, this... this poison tastes so good???"

She was shocked.

This was the first piece of grilled meat she had ever eaten in her life.

"You're not eating it right!"

Li Fan smiled, placed a perfectly sized piece of pork belly into a lettuce leaf, the lettuce leaf completely enveloping the juicy pork belly, and handed it to the White Skirt Girl, saying:

"Try again!"

The girl looked at the grilled meat wrapped in lettuce, a hint of longing in her eyes.

"No... he, he's the Devil King..."

"This must be some kind of poison... but why does it taste so good...?"

She hesitated.

"I didn't want to eat it myself, I was forced... I did it to protect myself, the Great Devil King's words... I dared not disobey!"

She couldn't resist any longer. She took it, put it in her mouth, and began to chew!

Wow!

The next moment, the girl exclaimed in delight, "It's so delicious, isn't it?!"

The key point is that I don't seem to have any symptoms of poisoning...

"No wonder Grandpa once said that the Great Devil King is good at bewitching people, sob sob, he must be bewitching me!"

The girl was beginning to struggle internally!

Is the effect of this poison to make you crave more and more food?

She hesitated, then immediately began to circulate her internal Cultivation Method.

But it turned out that it had absolutely no effect!

"Could it be that it's not poison?"

"Yes... this kind of Great Devil King doesn't need to use poison to kill me... this is just a special kind of delicacy!"

"Anyway, it's already in his hands..."

She made a snap decision and immediately decided to ignore it.

At this moment, my fate is no longer in my own hands, but in the hands of the Great Devil King.

This ultimate sensory experience was unlike anything she had ever tasted before!

She said timidly, "Can I... can I ask for another piece?"

"Sure!"

Li Fan smiled, buried his head in grilling the meat, and said:

"You can eat whatever you want; we've prepared plenty."

He grilled meat skewers, roast duck, pork belly, and other dishes one after another, all of which smelled delicious and were extremely tempting!

"I want to eat this!"

"I want to eat this!"

In the blink of an eye, the White Skirt Girl was completely at ease, her attention now focused entirely on the food!

After all, what young girl could resist the temptation of barbecue?

No, absolutely not. If there is any, it must be because the meat wasn't grilled well enough!

The White Tiger Immortal King was stunned by what he saw.

Having served his master for countless millennia, he had never seen his master so happy...

These foods are clearly just ordinary spirit medicine and spirit beasts.

Why would our master, a Supreme Being who drinks celestial nectar and devours the essence of heaven and earth, be so agitated, even fighting with someone else's disciple for meat...?

He didn't understand.

I really don't understand.

"Grandpa, are you going to eat too? If you're worried about indigestion, you can eat something vegetarian."

Li Fan smiled and spoke to the White Tiger Immortal King, saying, "This old man is just standing there, getting in the way."

Upon hearing this, the White Tiger Immortal King was shocked. He was greatly surprised. This young man was indeed someone who could chat and laugh with his master!

He said he wasn't digesting well, clearly indicating that he was stuck in a bottleneck while absorbing a Dao Stone bestowed upon him by his master.

The White Tiger Immortal King glanced at his master, but his master was now completely engrossed in food and had no time to pay attention to him.

He silently bowed to the terrifying young man in the apron in front of him, and then actually went to the side and started eating some vegetarian barbecue!

Roasted potatoes or something like that.

"Grandpa, do you still have teeth? Eating only vegetables is so boring, try this!"

Lu Rang, however, was very easygoing and handed over a pig's trotter!

Normally, who would dare to treat the White Tiger Immortal King so casually? They would probably have been reduced to ashes long ago. But now, the White Tiger Immortal King was filled with trepidation and hurriedly stood up, saying:

"Thank you, Young Master, thank you, young Young Master! I still have a few teeth left!"

He took the pig's trotter, thought for a moment, and immediately made up his mind!

Never mind, even the owner is getting along well with them, so they're obviously allies.

These young men and women before us, though their cultivation levels haven't yet reached a high level, are disciples of such terrifying figures... If we befriend them, the future benefits will be immense!

The White Tiger Immortal King was gnawing on a pig's trotter, eating with great relish. He finished quickly and exclaimed:

"It smells so good, Young Master! Bring me two more pork knuckles!!!"

Everyone was shocked by what they saw.

This Celestial King is a bit unconventional, isn't he?

However, no one paid much attention and continued eating, playing, and fooling around.

And at this moment.

Underground in this mountain range.

A mass of white, fleshy substance rose rapidly.

Gradually, it was about to break through the earth.

"Bang!"

Water splashed everywhere, and it finally burst out of a pool of water and appeared in the air!

Sensing the atmosphere of the outside world, this white substance was overjoyed and extremely excited.

"This celestial realm is mine! I will devour all living beings in this world and reaffirm my Primordial Great Dao! Ha, ha ha ha..."

Blood Shadow was overjoyed and extremely pleased with himself!

However, it then sensed something was amiss.

By the pool.

Not far away.

On the grassy field.

A group of men and women...

In progress...

Let's have barbecue.

Now everything is...

Look at it...

Blood Shadow merely swept his divine sense across the area, and in that instant, his heart shattered completely.

"Holy crap?!"
