An Open and Aboveboard Eviction Notice
The two foxes, Qingqiu Chen and Qingqiu Yu, stayed behind, which caused Wu Chu to stop cultivating for the next few days, fearing that they would see through his disguise.
He was always very careful in his actions, trying his best to maintain his superior demeanor. This made Wu Chu, this loser, put in a lot of effort to show off his acting skills.
Fortunately, the foxes, young and old, who were drawn there by the cooking skills, didn't have time to sit and discuss things with Wu Chu. Instead, they often squatted in the kitchen with Little Moon Spirit, doing this and that, and frequently exclaiming in amazement.
Although only a small part of China's thousands of years of culinary civilization was shown here, it still left these Primordial World gods speechless and amazed.
Even Qingqiu Chen, an old fox who has lived for countless years, could not escape the "true fragrance law" (a Chinese internet slang term for something initially disliked but later found to be appealing), and his Golden Immortal status was shattered.
Little Moon Spirit was in charge of cooking, while Qingqiu Chen took notes, recording the outline of the dishes on paper, preparing to continue his in-depth study after returning to Qingqiu. Of course, Qingqiu Chen used the Primordial Script, the kind of 'ghost scribbles' derived from runes, which Wu Chu couldn't understand anyway.
Of course, Qingqiu Chen couldn't understand the characters of Wu Chu either; they were pictographs created by Yibao. In Qingqiu Chen's eyes, these pictographs looked like scribbles.
Qingqiu Yu ate with great relish, because Wu Chu had a limited appetite, and he simply couldn't finish many of the things Wu Chu Little Moon Spirit made, so the Little Fox had to take advantage of them.
Therefore, the Little Fox also had great respect for Wu Chu, feeling that this senior was really too kind to her, not even trying to take food from her, truly a good senior.
After recording the simple cooking methods, Qingqiu Yu asked Wu Chu, "Senior, have you ever eaten the meat of that Azure Dragon? Was it delicious?"
Qingqiu Yu's question terrified Qingqiu Chen, making his hair stand on end.
In fact, as soon as they arrived at Purple Jade Mountain, his Divine Sense had already detected that some organs inside the Azure Dragon's corpse had disappeared, presumably because they had been eaten.
But Wu Chu dared to eat Dragon Meat, while they didn't!
Although the Qingqiu Fox Clan is not weak, it is worlds apart from the Dragon Clan. As of now, in this Primordial Land, apart from the Phoenix and Qilin Clans, no other clan dares to be so audacious as to offend the Dragon Clan.
Faced with the Little Fox's question, Wu Chu smiled and gestured to Little Moon Spirit. Then, Little Moon Spirit led Qingqiu Chen and Qingqiu Yu to cut the Dragon Meat.
Qingqiu Yu's cultivation was relatively weak, and like Little Moon Spirit before her, she dared not approach.
Qingqiu Chen didn't force him and silently followed Yueling to the Azure Dragon.
Looking at the azure Azure Dragon whose internal organs had mostly disappeared, Qingqiu Chen felt a chill run down his spine.
If the dragons of the Dragon Clan were to discover this, it would truly be a fight to the death.
In this world, who dares to slay and devour a dragon?
At this moment, he felt caught in a dilemma. If he didn't eat the Dragon Meat, wouldn't he be looked down upon by Wu Chu? But if he did eat the Dragon Meat, wouldn't that be tantamount to being bound together with them?
When they returned carrying a piece of Dragon Tongue Meat, and saw that Qingqiu Chen's smile was somewhat forced, Wu Chu smiled and said, "Fellow Qingqiu, there's no need to worry. This is a banquet I'm hosting for you. You don't know what this meat is, so just close your eyes and enjoy it."
Qingqiu Chen opened his mouth, then gave a bitter smile and shook his head, saying, "I Dao Heart your noble sentiments, fellow Daoist. However, one should either know or not know. How can one deceive oneself out of fear and cause you to bear such danger? This is not the way of a friend!"
That's what he said, but nobody knows if he's telling the truth or not.
Wu Chu, in any case, couldn't tell. After all, the forced smile on his face seemed to have completely disappeared after he finished speaking.
So Wu Chu said, "I still hope that I can bear the karma between myself and the Dragon Clan. After all, the Qingqiu Clan is large and powerful, unlike me. Besides, this is Purple Jade Mountain, not Qingqiu. If the Dragon Clan wants to find someone, they will only look for me."
After a pause, Wu Chu continued, "Having eaten this Dragon Meat, fellow Daoist, please return! If I am still alive a thousand years from now, then we can drink and reminisce together again."
Finally, an opportunity has been found to openly and legitimately expel the guest. Moreover, judging from Qingqiu Chen's hesitant and conflicted expression, this method of expelling the guest is clearly quite Gao Ming.
A thousand years is not a long time for the creatures of the Primordial World. But a thousand years is enough time for the Dragon Clan to fight their way from the Dragon Court of the Eastern Sea all the way to this Purple Jade Mountain.
Qingqiu Chen naturally understood the meaning behind this.
And this made Qingqiu Chen feel once again that the person in front of him was someone worth befriending!
Qingqiu Chen paused for a moment, then said, "In this world today, Three Clans stand in a tripartite balance, and the other races are all pondering ways to survive. Fellow Daoist, are you really not considering joining one of them? I think whether you join the Phoenix Clan or the Qilin Clan, the matter of the Dragon Clan should not be difficult to resolve."
Wu Chu smiled slightly and shook his head, saying, "Qingqiu, there's no need to worry about me. If things don't go smoothly, I can simply walk away without a care in the world."
Of course, he was just saying that casually. If he really just packed his bags and left, where could he go? In this vast Primordial World, where could be safer than Purple Jade Mountain?
Even if they were to leave, it would have to be decades before they could do so.
One day in the Primordial World era is equivalent to one year on Earth. Several decades in the Primordial World are equivalent to two or three thousand years on Earth! With two or three thousand years, one's cultivation level should have increased significantly, and if one wants to escape then, one will have a better chance of survival.
Sigh! I was just sitting at home when trouble came knocking on my door. I didn't go out and cause any trouble, so how did I end up with these two major enemies? First it was the Lantern-Burning Daoist, and now it's the Dragon Clan. And compared to the lone Ran Deng, the Dragon Clan, who clearly likes to form gangs, is even more terrifying.
Wu Chu silently complained to himself, then glanced at the dragon corpse in the distance and thought to himself: Looks like I need to speed up the process of eating Dragon Meat!
Just imagine, if the Dragon Clan king led his army to attack, and happened to find a set of dragon bones, left over from being eaten, hanging on that mountaintop... the scene would be absolutely explosive!
Faced with Wu Chu's statement, Qingqiu Chen could only sigh softly.
Although he believed Wu Chu was loyal and righteous and worth befriending, their current relationship was not enough for him to risk the lives of the entire Qingqiu Clan to stand with Wu Chu against the potential wrath of the Dragon Clan. That price was not one he could afford.
So, when Little Moon Spirit went into the kitchen to process the Dragon Tongue Meat, Qingqiu Chen sighed softly and followed Qingqiu Yu in to watch.
Most of the day passed quietly. In the evening, Little Moon Spirit carried a clay pot to the pavilion overlooking the lake, then set out bowls and chopsticks, added spirit wine, and everyone enjoyed themselves together.
Eating the glistening Dragon Tongue Meat, Qingqiu Yu almost swallowed her own tongue whole. Her eyes were wide open, and her little mouth was like a hamster's, unable to stop.
Qingqiu Chen was secretly amazed. Although eating Dragon Meat was risky, it was so delicious!
Unfortunately, Wu Chu's words almost made him jump out of his "it smells so good" state.
"Qingqiu, is the Dragon Meat still delicious? Would you like to take some back for your clansmen to enjoy? There's plenty more there!"
