Better a Fellow Daoist Die Than Me
Wu Chu nodded slightly and said, "I'll go ask her what she thinks."
So, Wu Chu found Little Moon Spirit, who was busy at the chopping board, and transmitted his voice to her, "Those two senior masters wanted to take you as their disciple, why did you refuse? You should know that this was a very good opportunity. Maybe at first they just wanted to enjoy the food you made, but since they've taken you as their disciple, they certainly won't skimp on what they should teach you or give you."
"Is A Chu trying to send me away?" Little Moon Spirit asked with a smile.
Wu Chu reached out and gently pinched her Little Yao nose, laughing, "You know perfectly well what I'm asking! You're so cute and capable, I'd be stupid to want to get rid of you! But don't you think it's a pity? You should be able to imagine that by rejecting them, you're losing something."
Little Moon Spirit chuckled, her hands still busy. After a moment's thought, she said, "It is a bit of a pity, but the thought of leaving Purple Jade Mountain, leaving everyone, and leaving Brother A Chu makes me very sad. Besides, those two seniors have such strange tempers; who knows if they will treat me well in the future! Rather than giving up everything to gamble on the unknown, it's better to continue living like this. I really like our life now!"
Wu Chu laughed heartily, reached out and ruffled her hair, saying, "Brother A Chu really hasn't been spoiling you for nothing!" After a pause, Wu Chu continued, "Now that you've made your decision, don't regret it later. After all, once this is over, there might not be another chance to regret it."
Little Moon Spirit pursed her lips and said, "I won't regret it. Those two seniors not only looked strange, but their tempers were also strange. They were actually quite scary!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Chu couldn't help but chuckle.
Therefore, first impressions are really important.
Ancestor Hongjun was also an old monster of the ancestor level, but he didn't give people that strange feeling back then, and he certainly didn't make people feel that he was scary.
At most, one might feel an unspoken authority about him that makes people hesitant to approach him easily, but that's reverence. Reverence is not the same as fear!
These two ancestors, with one body, face, hair, and even one eye that was white and the other black, were extremely strange in appearance and attire, definitely the number one cross-dressing master in the Primordial World.
The other one was completely unkempt. While not exactly slovenly, he was certainly not neat or clean. He was also very thin, and his Long-Brow were always raised, giving him an impression of being an old scoundrel.
It's perfectly normal for Little Moon Spirit to be afraid of these two.
The Hunting Tournament has officially ended, and the hunters have returned with a variety of prey, some as large as a small mountain, others hundreds of meters long, including tigers, leopards, Youxiong, and wolves...
However, there were no snakes, not only because their leader Houtu revealed a snake's tail when she used the technique of "Transforming Heaven and Earth Manifestation," but also because Little Moon Spirit did not cook snake meat.
Although Wu Chu considered snake soup to be an extremely delicious delicacy, Wu Chu had never caught such an ingredient since learning that Little Moon Spirit's true form was a snake.
Of course, there are very few snakes available for food near Purple Jade Mountain.
Yi also returned, carrying back a giant saber-toothed tiger with teeth tens of meters long and eyes full of arrows. It was four or five hundred meters long and was estimated to have the cultivation level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Although Wu Chu did not advocate hunting creatures of this level for food, these tribal warriors clearly did not think it was a big deal.
From the Ancestral Witch to the lesser witches below, no one felt there was anything wrong with this.
It seems that in their view, any living being other than the Witch Clan can be eaten.
Wu Chu could restrain the creatures of Purple Jade Mountain from easily hunting such highly intelligent beings. However, he could not expect the warriors of the Houtu Tribe to do the same.
Without a doubt, Yi won first place in this hunt, not only because his prey was from the Heavenly Immortal Realm, but also because he did not break the giant tiger skin.
The saber-toothed tiger was wounded entirely around its eyes.
One can imagine how terrifying Yi's archery skills must have been.
Having successfully won the High-Grade Witch Artifact Great Bow as a prize, it was hard for Yi not to feel triumphant and smug.
"A Chu, I told you getting first place was easy!" Yi's little tail was practically wagging in the air as he ran up to Wu Chu and started showing off. "If the highest level of prey in this hunting ground wasn't this, do you believe I could have hunted even larger prey?"
"If you're so capable, beat Old Round first." Wu Chu curled his lip. "What kind of skill is it to bully unarmed creatures with Witch Artifact?"
"..."
Yi, who had just raised his little tail, was instantly speechless.
On the other side, the Long-Brow Old Daoist and the Yin-Yang Ancestor ate the spirit-brewed fried pork ribs that Little Moon Spirit had specially prepared for them, lamenting in their hearts as they ate. "I never thought that spirit beast meat could be prepared like this... Such a good disciple, ruined by this damned old man, how hateful!"
The two patriarchs, who were quietly enjoying their food just a moment ago, suddenly started glaring at each other, neither willing to give in. A sudden gust of wind arose, and fallen leaves flew everywhere.
Yi, who was in a state of self-isolation, quickly noticed the abnormality and looked over at them.
"Wow! What a strange old man, half of him is white and the other half is white..."
Bang...
Before Yi could finish speaking, it was as if a mountain was pressing down on him. Instantly, an invisible force slammed him into the ground, creating a large, human-shaped crater.
The crowd was drawn to the sound, but those who knew what was going on chose to remain indifferent; only those who were unaware would run over to see what was happening.
"Haha... Yi, you're amazing! You even managed to create a huge crater when you fell!"
Yi spat and climbed out of the pit. He touched his body and found that he was not injured.
However, he dared not be so sarcastic anymore. He knew that it must be that strange old man, half black and half white, retaliating against him. He hadn't expected that the old man's cultivation was so strong!
As Yi muttered to himself, he rolled his eyes at his companions who had run over to watch the commotion, "If you want, you can do it too. And let me tell you, in a fit of extreme anger, I once created a crater several times bigger than this!"
As he was talking, he tripped and fell flat on his face again, thud...
Sure enough, the crater created was several times larger and deeper than the previous one.
At this moment, Yi, who was lying at the bottom of the pit, dared not speak anymore and shut himself up in the pit.
Wu Chu glanced at the Yin-Yang Ancestor silently, thinking that the old man's mind was indeed terrifyingly petty.
In order to prevent these two eccentric old men from causing trouble in their tribe, the second chief, Yu, actually bypassed the great chief, Houtu, and made a decision that was better to sacrifice his own friend than himself. He suggested that Wu Chu select some prey and take the two elders back to their Purple Jade Mountain first.
Before Wu Chu could refuse, the two patriarchs nodded in unison and said, "Excellent!"
