My Immortal Wife

Azure Phoenix City.

Behind Yuelai Inn, in the vast grassy wilderness.

At the site of the wedding banquet held ten days ago, a new Bamboo Platform ten times the size of the original had been erected.

Resting upon the Bamboo Platform was the most wicked and legendary gargantuan beast of the East Floating District—

The Void Kun.

Compared to the massive dimensions of the Void Kun, both Azure Phoenix City and Yuelai Inn suddenly seemed like parts of a Lilliputian kingdom, their skies eclipsed by its colossal frame.

Thousands of Immortal Commoner gathered in a circle around the Bamboo Platform, looking like ants gazing up at a giant elephant.

The crowd carefully measured it; this legendary fierce beast was sixteen zhang and eight chi long, nine zhang and two chi high, and five zhang and eight chi wide.

Standing beneath the belly of the Kun, the visual shock was far more exaggerated than any cultivation level; it felt as if this were not a beast of an Immortal Sect Master, but a divine creature, inducing a sense of unreality as if one were in a dream.

The onlookers remained unsettled for a long time, and it was not until the sun was high in the sky that the crowd finally began to murmur.

"I never expected that in my lifetime, I would actually see this evil beast slain."

"For over a thousand years, how many innocent Immortal Commoner have been buried in the maw of this brute!"

"It is a pity that the evil Golden Peng had already attained immortality; it turned to dust upon death. It got off too easily."

"First the Sect Master's constitution was broken, and now this wicked beast has been slain. Who would have thought we would witness the end of two legends with our own eyes!"

"Both of these events were the work of one man. Just what kind of immortal is Elder Lu?"

"I tell you, Elder Lu actually cooked the Kun meat from inside the Kun's belly!"

"There is such a method of cooking?"

"I heard that every registered Immortal Commoner in our Azure Phoenix City can go to the inn to receive a free jin of Kun meat every day until the Giant Kun is finished."

"It is thanks to Elder Lu that our Bamboo Spring Sect has good days ahead."

"If Elder Lu hadn't taken us in, we would have already died at the hands of those unscrupulous rogue immortals."

"Elder Lu and the Sect Master are truly a match made in heaven. I really hope the Elder stays in Azure Phoenix City forever!"

Inside the belly of the Kun.

The lingering blue flames had been extinguished. Lu Ya had already roasted enough Kun meat to last for a while, and the remaining portions were temporarily sealed by a Freshness Preservation Formation.

Ning Zhongzi was cutting raw meat from a distance, preparing to send it to the inn so that Yuan Zhou could cook it in other ways.

Lu Ya had said that, after all, not every guest liked barbecue; some people preferred hot pot.

Wine Fox Immortal, meanwhile, had led the entire City Guard into the belly of the Kun for meat-eating special training.

Poverty had left her without spare clothes; after her rough robes were ruined, she had to change into a green robe identical to Ning Zhongzi's—which looked a bit too large for her petite frame.

The inside of the garment was empty, lacking even an undershirt, and the neckline was prone to dipping quite low.

As a result, the Beast Immortal's minds were entirely on the meat... the Kun meat.

Muyu Feifei took the lead in eating, her mouthparts like those of a glutton, her tongue nimble. She wept as she ate, alternating between wild joy and sorrow, her face contorting—sometimes human, sometimes tiger-like.

"This damned brute, how many people it killed! I will eat its flesh, drink its blood, crush its bones, and suck its marrow!"

"So many people died miserably in your mouth; I will avenge them, awoo~"

"The Immortal Court didn't lie to children; the Void Kun is truly delicious!"

However, the other Beast Immortal stood stiffly, not daring to make a move.

Although the Kun meat smelled delicious, eating beast meat felt like eating their own kin, or even themselves.

This was the righteous philosophy that Golden Peng had always instilled in them—

For a Beast Immortal to eat meat was equivalent to fratricide; eating humans was the only righteous path!

They dared not and could not bear to eat humans, so they had always been vegetarians. At this moment, suppressing their carnal desires, they only stared blankly.

"This is the Immortal Sect Master's Kun meat that Elder Lu and I cooked together. The Immortal Sect Master's Immortal Spirit has already been converted into raw Immortal Spirit. No matter what your cultivation level is, eating it will be of great benefit to your practice."

Wine Fox Immortal spoke with conviction.

She was already stuffed, and at this moment, she raised her wine gourd, pouring Immortal Nectar wildly into her small mouth. The transparent Immortal Beer that leaked out flowed down her fair neck and into her empty green robes.

After finishing a gourd, she saw that everyone was still frozen, not daring to eat the meat, and she immediately flared up.

"What are you standing there for? As members of the City Guard, improving your own cultivation is the foundation of protecting the city's development. If you don't eat meat now, you will only be the ones being eaten later."

These were words Lu Ya had once said.

Seeing that they were still skeptical, she added:

"Although a Beast Immortal turns to dust upon death, legend has it there is a forbidden technique: cooking the living, and only turning to dust after being eaten. It is extremely cruel. Do you want to try that?"

"..."

The crowd's expressions stiffened; the image had already formed in their minds.

One by one, they trembled in fear, their faces turning pale.

They had no choice but to tremble as they tore off pieces of Kun meat, placing them into their mouths bit by bit.

"This..."

Their beastly eyes suddenly froze.

Warm currents surged from their Immortal Platform and sea of qi, rippling outward. The ripples expanded rapidly, turning into a tsunami in the blink of an eye, crashing against the foundations and inner walls of their Immortal Platform...

They felt that if they ate just a little more meat, they could ascend to the next rank at any moment!

"It's too delicious!"

The longer the suppression, the more violent the eruption!

The group no longer cared about decorum; they buried their heads and gorged themselves on the meat, wishing they could shove their entire heads into the pile.

The scene was so intense that even Muyu Feifei felt the pressure, forcing her to speed up her own eating.

Wine Fox Immortal's small mouth hung agape, her jaw hitting the floor.

"Don't go overboard, you lot. Being full is enough; eating more in such a short time is useless."

Even the Snake Baby in the arms of Black Sheep Matron was chewing on roasted fish liver, a rosy flush appearing on its chubby, pink face.

Children eat cod liver oil, so there was nothing wrong with that.

Ning Zhongzi carved meat on the side, secretly glancing at the Snake Infant. Staring at the colorful scales on its neck, she gradually formed a guess in her heart.

But looking at the expression of Wine Fox Immortal, she seemed unaware of the child's parentage.

Little did she know, Wine Fox Immortal was watching her with great interest as well.

"You're only a five-star Immortal Master, why aren't you eating the meat?"

"I only eat vegetarian."

"Don't tell me you're afraid of getting fat and ending up unwanted?"

"Do not talk nonsense."

Sipping on the delicious Immortal Nectar, Wine Fox Immortal tugged at her collar, her eyes drifting with a meaningful look.

"Your problem isn't being fat."

In the sleeping quarters of Liu Xuanye, on the second floor of the Bamboo Cottage.

Beneath the Three Thousand Sword Formation, Liu Xuanye sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, dressed in a translucent white silk robe, practicing in seclusion.

Her stern posture carried an aura of Sword Qi, yet a closer look revealed a figure as lush as jade, with undulating curves that seemed naturally outlined and carved by gods and demons.

By comparison, Senior Sister Ning Zhongzi was overly mature and voluptuous, with a graceful temperament that felt a generation apart; Wine Fox Immortal was petite and shapely, yet carried an unkempt, heroic spirit.

Liu Xuanye was the one most to Lu Ya's taste.

Lu Ya sat opposite her, eating meat and drinking wine as if no one else were there, while simultaneously enduring the sensation of Ten Thousand Swords Piercing the Heart. He found it quite stimulating.

He glanced at Liu Xuanye's lower abdomen again.

Only then did he realize that while others practiced to increase their cultivation, her practice was meant to suppress it.

Presumably, the higher her cultivation, the harder it was to control the power of the seal within her. The closer her body became to that of a demoness, the easier it was to harm living beings, leading to self-reproach and a collapse of her Dao heart, resulting in a total loss of control.

With her picturesque eyes lightly closed, Liu Xuanye knew Lu Ya was watching her, and a hint of joy stirred in her heart.

"Why did you agree to dual cultivation with me this time?"

Lu Ya shook his head. How could he not know? Liu Xuanye wanted to dual cultivate with him precisely to borrow his strength and learn his style to seal her own cultivation.

This woman endured pain unimaginable to ordinary people.

She had spent three thousand years under pressure that no one else could fathom.

Even with Lu Ya's iron heart, he felt a touch of pity for her.

"You shouldn't be suppressing your cultivation. That way, you wouldn't have to rely on a sneak attack just to kill a Golden Peng."

"I thought you would praise me. Even if it was a sneak attack, I used all my strength to kill him with one sword."

"If you continue to suppress your cultivation, your body won't be able to take it."

Liu Xuanye said nothing more.

Lu Ya continued to drink and eat.

The intoxicating aroma severely disrupted Liu Xuanye's practice.

After a long while, she opened her picturesque eyes, her clear, cold sword-like gaze fixed on Lu Ya.

"Is the Kun meat delicious?"

"Try it."

Taking the slice of Kun meat from Lu Ya, Liu Xuanye did not hesitate, taking a light bite exactly where he had eaten.

"Mm."

A soft gasp escaped her, and a blush appeared on her face, which had been as cold and detached as a landscape painting, as if the monochrome image had suddenly burst into watercolor.

At the same time, a colossal sword, carrying a sense of sorrow as if from the primordial era, plunged straight down from above Lu Ya's head.

Lu Ya took a sip of his wine and scratched his head:

"Is it good?"

Liu Xuanye's sword-like brows furrowed slightly; had she not forcibly suppressed her boiling sea of qi just a moment ago, she might have already advanced several stars!

In all these years, this was the first time her sea of qi had stirred so violently in such a short time.

After calming her sea of qi, she said calmly:

"Kun meat isn't this delicious; it's your cooking that makes it so."

"Oh?"

Lu Ya was slightly taken aback.

She had even noticed that...

Looking at her sea of qi again, if she hadn't intentionally suppressed it just now, she would likely have advanced three stars already!

What kind of monstrous talent is this?

Lu Ya always felt that the harder she suppressed it, the greater the possibility of an explosive outburst in the future.

Better cherish the present.

"I'm going to soak in the hot spring. I've been tired all morning, time for a ten-day break or so."

Liu Xuanye:

"..."

Meanwhile.

Fan Ni, along with a Horse Immortal and a Ox Immortal from the City Guard, departed the Bamboo Spring Sect on a Black Boat, carrying ten thousand portions of diced Kun meat and speeding toward East Floating City.

They had no idea what kind of sensation they were about to ignite.
