331 Disbelief And Steamed Buns
The conference hall was filled with every elder of the fox race, as well as the clan leader. Everyone’s eyes were on Hu Yiyi, who had barely arrived before she was whisked away into the conference room.
Everyone could not wait to find out what had happened.
“Saintess, what happened at the Ancient God Sea? Why has the dragon-phoenix race disappeared?”
Hu Yiyi trembled. She was still uncertain as to what had happened, so she simply narrated what she had witnessed.
The whole process took five minutes.
By the time Hu Yiyi had finished her explanation, the room was completely silent. Everyone was glancing at each other in confusion.
It was really unimaginable!
After a long time, the clan leader asked in a trembling voice, “So you’re saying, Saintess, that you dealt with the dragon-phoenix race by yourself?”
As he spoke, his body was trembling as well. The elders also looked at Hu Yiyi in absolute disbelief.
Hu Yiyi was feeling conflicted.
On the one hand, she wanted to answer affirmatively, but she herself was unsure if that power even belonged to her.
“I’m not sure if that power belonged to me, but it’s true that the flame appeared in my hand and that it was the thing that destroyed the dragon-phoenix race.”
She decided to be honest. After all, she really did not know what had happened.
When everyone heard this, they became silent once more.
“Alright, Saintess, please go back and rest. If there’s anything else, I’ll invite you over to discuss it.”
Hu Yiyi hurriedly nodded after hearing this.
She was also a little tired and needed to go back to clear her mind. Her mind and emotions were in a mess.
…
In the conference hall, the discussion continued, and various speculations appeared.
“That’s impossible! We know what the Saintess is capable of. Although her level of talent isn’t bad, compared to the other Saintesses in our history, she’s nowhere close to being the best!”
“This kind of thing is too unbelievable! This is the dragon-phoenix race we’re talking about here!”
“We know how powerful and merciless they are! There’s no way the Saintess should have been able to handle any one of their powerful cultivators!”
“There must be something we don’t know.”
“Did she receive the blessing of our god?”
Everyone at the scene agreed that there was no plausible way Hu Yiyi could have annihilated the dragon-phoenix race with her own power.
This meant that it had to be some sort of external power that had helped her.
However, even after an extended discussion, no one could figure anything out.
…
“Master, there’s quite a lot of good food here.”
Yue Hanjiang was sitting opposite Yuchi at a table. On the table were multiple baskets of steamed buns, most of which were now empty.
She kept stuffing fresh steamed buns into her mouth. Her cheeks were full, and there was an irrepressible sense of joy and satisfaction on her face.
It had been a long time since she had eaten such delicious food, in fact, not since they had left the human city. This was especially so because Yu Shengyun was not accompanying them.
As cultivators, they did not need to eat. However, good food still gave one a sense of satisfaction.
Yuchi, on the other hand, was holding a cup of tea and slowly drinking it. His eyes were quite gentle as he looked at the young girl sitting in front of him. He had really watched her grow up, and felt like a father.
The Heavenly Dao truly knew how to make him feel a sense of attachment. Yue Hanjiang was the perfect daughter he could have asked for.
Yuchi laughed.
“Eat slowly. No one’s going to snatch it from you.”
Yue Hanjiang used her small hands to tear open the steamed bun, revealing the delicious fillings. She took a whiff of the fillings, and then stuffed the whole bun into her mouth.
Yue Hanjiang handed a steamed bun to her master. Yuchi smiled and waved his hand, saying, “You should eat more. After we leave this place, you might not be able to eat this kind of food for a while.”
“Alright then, Master.”
Yue Hanjiang smiled sweetly, and then got to work on more steamed buns.
