"Gu Yuena, I'm letting you go now. No more throwing tantrums and rolling around, or I'll really get angry." Big Yellow withdrew his paw.
At the same time, his mountainlike body rapidly shrank, returning to that of an ordinary big yellow dog.
Big Yellow urged, "Gu Yuena, hurry up and cut off your dragon leg for me. I'm still waiting to take the dragon meat back for my senior sister to cook."
"Don't worry, I won't take your dragon meat for nothing. I'll compensate you."
"Here, take this. This is a fifth-tier pill refined by my senior sister. It'll only do you good, no harm." Big Yellow took a fifth-tier pill from his storage ring and handed it to Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena's large eyes turned toward the tiny pill. For some reason, as she looked at this round, index-finger-sized pellet called a pill, a surge of longing actually rose within her body.
It was as though she would have a chance to break through to the God King realm simply by swallowing it.
Then, even against the Deities of the Divine Realm, she would have some confidence in holding them off.
But asking her to cut off her own flesh was still rather difficult for her.
Big Yellow was also understanding of a dragon's feelings. He stuffed the fifth-tier pill straight into Gu Yuena's dragon claw and said:
"Gu Yuena, I've already given you the pill. I know you can't bring yourself to be ruthless to yourself, so just let me do it."
"Don't worry. My blade is very fast. I guarantee you won't feel a thing."
As Big Yellow spoke, he took a large saber-shaped magical treasure from his storage ring and slashed at Gu Yuena's hind leg.
Cold light flashed.
A streak of saber light swept across Gu Yuena's hind leg.
Gu Yuena's hind leg fell from her body, and great quantities of blood spilled over the soil of Mount Lu.
Big Yellow shouldered Gu Yuena's dragon leg and ran.
As he ran, he reminded Gu Yuena, "Gu Yuena, remember to take the pill. Once you take it, your leg will grow back."
"My senior sister and I will treat you to a meal in a little while."
Gu Yuena looked at the tiny pill in her dragon claw, tossed it straight into her mouth, and swallowed.
After the pill entered her body, Gu Yuena sensed an enormous medicinal power acting throughout her body before finally gathering at her wound.
Bones rejoined, and flesh grew.
Looking at her newly regrown dragon leg, Gu Yuena marveled, "Mount Lu is wondrous, and this Mount Lu Residence is even more extraordinary."
"My severed leg actually healed in an instant. Unfortunately, too much medicinal power was consumed, so it couldn't let me break through to the God King realm."
"Still, my cultivation has advanced another step. The gap between me and a God King is shrinking. Perhaps with another ten years, I could break through to God King on my own."
"Big Yellow of Mount Lu Residence is already this powerful. Just how powerful must Xu Jie be, as Big Yellow and Big White's master!"
"Is the immortal cultivation system really so terrifying?"
"I wonder whether I can cultivate immortality?"
"Didn't Big Yellow say he would treat me to a meal?"
"I'll go inside and look for Big Yellow."
Gu Yuena shed her dragon form, assumed human form, and walked deeper into Mount Lu.
Mount Lu, Mount Lu Residence.
"Senior sister, senior sister, I brought the dragon meat back! Let's wash the pot and light the fire." Big Yellow ran toward the bamboo house with Gu Yuena's dragon leg in his mouth.
The dragon leg might have looked small now, but that was because Big Yellow had shrunk it using the laws of space.
If he put the dragon leg down, that single leg would probably be larger than the entire Mount Lu Residence.
There were only a human, a dog, and a goose to begin with, and the so-called Mount Lu Residence was merely a bamboo house.
Big White walked out of Mount Lu Residence.
Her feathers were white as snow. Although she was the same size as an ordinary domestic goose, a spiritual grace surrounded her, making her as otherworldly as a fairy among geese.
"Junior brother, you didn't bully Gu Yuena, did you?"
"Senior sister, how could I!"
"I was perfectly friendly. I even invited Gu Yuena to Mount Lu Residence for lunch later."
"Good, as long as you didn't."
"Give me the dragon leg. I'll go to the kitchen and make a medicinal dish with it. It'll be just right for entertaining Gu Yuena." Big White chose to believe Big Yellow.
After all, their master had disciplined her junior brother over this matter before, so presumably Big Yellow wouldn't make the same mistake again.
Big Yellow moved away from Mount Lu Residence and set the dragon leg in his mouth on the ground.
The dragon leg instantly returned to its original size.
Big White beckoned toward the dragon leg with her wing.
The dragon leg flew toward Big White.
As it flew, the dragon leg shrank smaller and smaller until it finally vanished.
Big White turned and entered the kitchen.
She lit the fire.
She used a spell to control the firewood moving in and out of the stove.
She lifted the pot lid.
The pot before her was no ordinary one, but a spiritual treasure refined by her master.
Big Yellow could also refine magical implements.
But with Big Yellow's half-baked skills, he could currently only refine magical treasures, not even spiritual implements.
The pot held a world of its own inside, and the dragon leg had only just fallen from Gu Yuena's body.
Gu Yuena already possessed the body of a Deity, so this dragon leg needed no cleaning and could be steamed or boiled directly.
After putting the dragon leg in the pot, Big White took out quite a few spiritual herbs and added them as well.
Last came the spirit rice.
Big White began stoking the fire.
The firewood from Mount Lu was no ordinary wood either. The flames it produced were no weaker than alchemical fire.
"Senior sister, I'm going to fetch Gu Yuena. I'll be back soon." Big Yellow's voice carried into Mount Lu Residence.
Mount Lu.
Big Yellow found Gu Yuena wandering around the mountain and called, "Gu Yuena, over here, over here! I'll take you to Mount Lu Residence to meet my senior sister."
"All right, Big Yellow. Sorry for the trouble, but please lead the way."
Gu Yuena was polite.
"Oh, Gu Yuena, you've turned into a human!"
Big Yellow was surprised and muttered inwardly.
You know, Gu Yuena looks quite pretty after turning human. I just don't know whether Master would like her.
If Master likes her...
Maybe she could even become my master's wife.
No, no.
She's too weak. She can't even beat me. How could she be my master's wife!
At most, she could be a bed-warming maid for Master.
"Heh heh." Big Yellow shook his head as he let out a sleazy chuckle.
"Big Yellow, don't you like me taking human form? But my true form is too big," Gu Yuena said, somewhat troubled.
"It's fine, it's fine. My master is human too. You're perfectly fine like this."
"Come with me. I'll take you to Mount Lu Residence." Big Yellow walked ahead to lead the way.
Gu Yuena followed.
Mount Lu Residence.
Big Yellow pointed at the bamboo house and introduced it:
"Gu Yuena, this is Mount Lu Residence. What do you think? Not bad, right!"
Gu Yuena didn't know how to judge it. Mount Lu Residence was far simpler than she had imagined.
A stone table and three stone stools abruptly appeared in front of the bamboo house's courtyard.
Using a spell to carry the medicinal dish she had prepared, Big White walked out of the bamboo house and placed the bamboo platter on the stone table.
The dragon leg, originally the size of a small hill, had been compressed to an extreme degree by Big White and was now only a little over a meter long. It gleamed golden and gave off steam, with all sorts of spiritual herbs poured over it.
"Gu Yuena, you're just in time. Join us for lunch." Big White greeted Gu Yuena and took three bowls of cooked spirit rice from the kitchen.
Gu Yuena sat on a stone stool, looked at the medicinal dish, and muttered inwardly, Isn't this my dragon leg?
Is it really all right to entertain me with my own dragon leg?
"But it looks so delicious and smells so good!" Gu Yuena swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Gu Yuena, help yourself." Big White handed Gu Yuena a pair of chopsticks.
Gu Yuena was somewhat bewildered. Whenever she had needed to eat in the past, she had gulped everything down in one mouthful.
Big Yellow taught Gu Yuena to use chopsticks.
Gu Yuena learned extremely quickly and tried putting a piece of dragon meat into her mouth.
She closed her eyes.
Tears streamed down her face.
She felt that she had truly lived all her previous years in vain. How could food this delicious exist in the world!
She even wanted to take a couple of bites out of her own flesh!
But she restrained herself, because she knew the flesh on her body definitely wouldn't have this effect.
Only the combination of spiritual herbs, spirit rice, and Big White's cooking skills had made her dragon meat this delicious.
As Gu Yuena ate the dragon meat, she asked:
"Big Yellow, Big White, is Xu Jie really your master?"
She found it hard to imagine how a fifteen-year-old boy had taught beings like Big Yellow and Big White, and even possessed a cultivation realm surpassing theirs.
She was simply far too curious about Xu Jie.
