Slurp!
Ao Yun and Xiao Chengfeng lowered their heads to slurp soup from their bowls at the same time.
The hot soup made them shudder. They could physically feel their bodies becoming better. A powerful force formed in their limbs.
Ao Yun had quivering lips. His face was flushed and he was stuttering, “I can feel it. I can feel my arm and my tail!”
“My cultivation…is recovering, too!”
Xiao Chengfeng gasped. He had dazed eyes. He was also uncontrollably overjoyed.
He previously acted like he could not care less. He was only pretending to be apathetic.
For someone who loved talking smack, it was painful to suddenly lose that ability.
However, the pain was finally over! He thought to himself, ‘The expert didn’t give up on me, this meal’s clearly made for me. Boohoo, what did I do to deserve this? This is so touching.
‘God wouldn’t accept the birth of Xiao Chengfeng, but my sword cultivation is still historical like the long night! I, Xiao Chengfeng, with the glory of the expert… I’m back!’
He felt proud for a moment and then he hurriedly grabbed onto Ao Yun. Ao Yun was so excited that he almost flew away. He exclaimed, “What are you doing? Calm down! Calm down! This is just an ordinary and delicious Kunpeng soup, remember?!”
Ao Yun felt like someone just threw a bucket of cold water over him. However, it immediately snapped him out of his excitement. “Oh yeah, yes, stay calm. I have to stay calm!”
Then, he looked at his severed arm and tail. He cast a spell to suppress the powers. “I can’t regrow my limbs yet. I need to suppress it first and grow them another time! It’ll be weird if I suddenly regrow my arm and tail while eating a meal. How would I explain it to the expert?”
The Seven Princesses sat with Chang’e. They held their spoons and sipped in a very ladylike manner.
The warm soup felt like electricity in their bodies. They were a bit numb from it while they slightly trembled. They softly moaned and breathed out warm air.
The coziness emptied their strengths. Their bodies almost went soft.
They looked at each other. They were all astounded and surprised. They exclaimed, “Our injuries…are getting better…”
They had been out for missions. They all fought a lot so injuries were unavoidable. Their powers were damaged but they started to heal once they drank the soup.
Anyone that drank the Kunpeng soup could feel their bodies healing. The new wounds, old wounds, and any hidden wounds were healed fast.
They felt like they were back in their prime. It felt nice!
Daji and the Fire Phoenix sat next to Li Nianfan. They instantly blushed after drinking the soup. Their pale faces were blushing and glowing again.
They smacked their lips and tried to be quiet.
Daji was forced to cut off her tail in the previous battle. The Fire Phoenix also used up a lot of Fire Phoenix Blood. They were both heavily injured. However, their injuries were fine after a bowl of soup! It would have taken thousands of years to heal!
Apart from the healing, their cultivation even greatly improved because a lot of energy swam inside their bodies!
“How does it taste? Isn’t it quite nice?” asked Li Nianfan caringly. Then, he said, “Eat the Wolfberries in the soup. It’s good stuff. Don’t waste it.”
Daji and the Fire Phoenix nodded at the same time. They said in a touched and soft voice, “Thank you.”
‘As expected, the master loves us the most. He made this special soup for us to heal. So heartwarming. We can’t repay him…’
“Healing soup, I get it now. This is a healing soup. Only the expert can think of something like this.”
The Jade Emperor looked at his Kunpeng soup. He was shocked and astounded. He exclaimed, “We fought with Kunpeng and wasted a lot of our energy. Lady Daji and Lady Fire Phoenix were injured. The expert said he wanted to make a soup to heal them. But…this…is too amazing at healing!”
The Empress glanced at the Jade Emperor and said, “Did you forget how good the expert is at cooking? He wants to make a healing soup so of course, he’d use treasures as ingredients. He’s a miracle-maker, he’s a refined cook. He shall make any healing food as he pleases.”
“Yeah, I thought the expert just wanted to eat Kunpeng’s meat. I was being too shallow. I’m too shallow!”
The Jade Emperor shook his head and felt regretful. He said with respect, “The expert’s obviously doing this for us. This soup allows so many people here to get back to their prime. He’s blessing everyone. The technique for his generosity is so beyond us!”
The Empress genuinely said, “This breakthrough is for all of us. We’re indebted to the expert. The expert’s willing to invite so many people to share the generous blessing. Is this the world of a bigshot?”
Meanwhile, the canary had half of its body in the bowl. He kept slurping hard. He was small but he had a great stomach for food. He endured his tears and drank two bowls of soup.
“My dear body, don’t you worry. I’m trying my best to make it up to you.”
Lord Kunpeng encouraged himself, “If I drink one more bowl of soup, that’s one more bowl of my body back inside me…”
“Actually, it’s not that bad. You were cooked by the expert himself with all sorts of Spiritual Herbs and heavenly ingredients. I got teary-eyed from that. You…died for a good cause!”
Lord Kunpeng instantly felt better. He looked up with tears in his eyes and told Chang’e, “Goddess, one more bowl…”
He became a Daluo Golden Immortal after a few bowls of soup. He was far from his prime but he had already become an eagle.
“I can’t believe I’m already at the next stage. It seems like I have to change my original plans. I won’t work hard to improve my cultivation anymore. I’ll work hard to kiss up to the expert. I shall call it ‘Reincarnated Canary becoming the Garuda Bird by bootlicking’.”
The chats quieted down at Yao Chi. Everyone was busy slurping up their soups.
‘Damn, such a fantastic soup. I’ll feel sorry for myself if I don’t drink more.’
A lot of Immortals stared at the juicy meat of Lord Kunpeng. The wings and drumsticks were reserved for the expert. They dared not eat it. However, they could eat other parts of Lord Kunpeng.
Lord Kunpeng noticed that everyone kept refilling their bowls. He teared up from frustration. He immediately transformed from a canary to a huge eagle. He started to drink faster.
“That’s my meat. My meat! Slow down, at least give me some!”
…
Meanwhile.
At the borders of Chaos, somewhere far away beyond the sky.
A figure slowly appeared. She had a black robe on. One could somewhat see the silhouette of her curvy body. She wore a black hooded cape as well. She revealed her blood-red eyes and sharp fangs.
She was a Mosquito Taoist. She had been flying around in the Chaos for a long time.
“The Chaos is endless. I should stop here.”
She drifted in the Chaos. She turned around and looked at the eldritch world. Then, she had to frown.
She realized that she could not see the eldritch world. All she saw was the endless Chaos and the stars.
She would probably be lost if she did not have her natural senses.
“This… Is the eldritch world hiding itself?”
The Mosquito Taoist looked puzzled. She felt that it was odd. She was confused. “Why? Also, how does it relate to Saints?”
She started to fly around the Chaos, trying to discover traces of the eldritch world.
Initially, she was involved in attacking the Nine-Tailed Fox. A Saint was on her side. She would win for sure.
However… She instantly rejected the offer.
She saw Li Nianfan kill two of her Mosquito ancestors with ease by using some sort of spray. She was traumatized by that.
She had a feeling that if the expert aimed at her instead of her ancestors, she probably would have been dead.
The Nine-Tailed Fox had some sort of relationship with the Deluxe Merit Saint. She would not attack her until she figured it out. She wanted to survive.
After all, that spray was no joke.
“I wonder how Styx and Lord Kunpeng are doing,” the Mosquito Taoist mumbled to herself. She licked her blood-red lips and said, “They told me I was being overly cautious? Ha. I was born in the Bloody Sea, I was a heathen amongst Demons. But I outlived everyone. Why? Because I’m cautious!”
“However… Kunpeng said Saints couldn’t appear. He told me not to be afraid. Where did that saying come from? And how could he be so sure of it?”
Mosquito Taoist followed the directions of Lord Kunpeng and flew beyond the sky and into the Chaos.
According to Lord Kunpeng, she would figure out the reasons if she came here.
However… The Mosquito Taoist was still puzzled.
“This fella’s such an idiot. Why won’t he just tell me instead of giving me a riddle to solve?”
The Mosquito Taoist flew away. She was about to return to ask Lord Kunpeng instead.
Suddenly, she felt like she was in danger. She flinched and turned into black mist. She instantly disappeared at the spot.
Bam!
Then, an explosion occurred out of thin air. It was from a crystal spear.
Buzz.
The blood-red Mosquito appeared on the other side. A red light flashed, and Mosquito Taoist reappeared again.
She looked frightened and angry. She shouted, “Who are you, cultivator? Why did you sneak-attack me?”
“You’re a Blood-Wing Black Mosquito. What a coincidence. Running into you in the vast Chaos, seems like I’m in luck.”
A voice could be heard in the Chaos.
Mosquito Taoist was taken aback. She could tell that the person was not using ordinary language. However, she easily understood it.
Beam!
The Crystal Spear shined bright and turned into a flash. It attacked Mosquito Taoist.
Mosquito Taoist reached out with her fingers.
Three Golden Lotus Leaves appeared and spun around like a fan.
The golden light shield protected her.
Shack—
The spear collided with the Lotus Leaves. The two weapons were at a standstill.
Boom!
Sounds of drums echoed in the Chaos, creating soundwaves.
The drum sounds hit the golden light shield causing it to tremble. Then, the spear pierced right through it. It started to get closer to Mosquito Taoist.
Mosquito Taoist took a deep breath. She was deeply affected by the drum sounds. Her eyes flickered. She knew she was in trouble. She instantly decided to flee.
Six blood-red Mosquito wings fanned open on her back.
Her body was once again turned to black mist. She vanished on the spot and dodged the Crystal Spear attack. She was surrounded by the three Golden Lotus Leaves. She fled without looking back.
“Ha, where are you going?!”
A black figure chased after Mosquito Taoist in the Chaos. The figure was just as fast as her.
The Crystal Spear flashed towards Mosquito Taoist.
The stars did not stop them at all. The spear easily pierced through the stars like they were nothing. Smaller stars were instantly turned to dust. The speed of the spear was not affected at all.
