Where did all the food this little girl ate go? Wenlong looked utterly miserable. If he had known demon beast meat contained spiritual energy, he would have stuffed himself too.
The little girl knew what he was thinking and did not tease him. "Have you learned how to refine beast meat? You haven't, have you? That means you can't absorb the spiritual energy in it."
So that was how it worked! I was getting worked up for nothing earlier. Without learning that skill, eating more would still be useless.
"You know, I'd have felt better if you hadn't told me. I'm leaving. Don't follow me." Wenlong rose angrily and walked away.
"Wasn't I telling you because I wanted to teach you the refining method? If you're leaving, forget it," the little girl said very softly.
Even though Wenlong had walked quite far away, he still heard her. He quickly turned around, came back, and sat down in the same spot.
"I knew you had a kind face, little girl. One look told me you were a good person." He smiled ingratiatingly and showered her with compliments.
How could he not butter her up? If he wanted something from her, he had to make himself pleasing to her eyes, didn't he?
According to the little girl, demon beasts became demon beasts because they were influenced by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which made them much stronger than ordinary wild beasts.
Then she readily taught Wenlong the refining method. She added in a low voice, "I created this myself. No one else knows how to use it. You mustn't pass it on."
Wenlong was genuinely astonished to hear that. He had thought all the other cultivators knew it.
If that was true, this little girl really was a heaven-defying existence.
