The life created by Golden Beast Transformation is called ’Spirit Beast’ by the Three Great Sacred Lands, even giving rise to the term ’Eternal Spirit Feast’, describing the notion that consuming spirit beasts grants immortality.
It makes sense, but is mostly nonsense.
Because those who can eat spirit beasts are basically already immortal; if you’re not of Longevity Realm, you won’t even get a chance to smell it.
It’s such a high-end food that claiming it grants immortality, you can’t even argue against it.
Even Chen Zhixing couldn’t refute it. Although he’s now attained immortality, he still hasn’t eaten spirit beasts.
For now, there’s a slight interest but not much.
If it’s there, great. If not, it doesn’t matter.
As for Sos asking him to meet Yimiao, after thinking it over, Chen Zhixing finally agreed.
Central Ring Forest Sea.
At this moment, Yimiao was singing while eating hotpot when she sensed a familiar aura approaching... Startled, she hurriedly stuffed a piece of tripe in her mouth.
Uh, she really is eating hotpot.
"Oily spicy chili, finest hanging tender, tender snowflake beef, slickly delicious, just so fragrant."
Boom!!!
Outside, a celestial thunder struck, shaking the entire Blessed Land.
Yimiao’s expression remained unchanged, continuing to chew blissfully.
After a moment.
When Chen Zhixing walked in, she saw him and had three parts of disdain in her eyes.
"What are you doing here?"
"What’s with ’what am I doing here’, can’t I come and see you?"
"..."
"..."
After a silence of about ten seconds, under Yimiao’s unwavering gaze, Chen Zhixing awkwardly said, "Right, it seems we’re not that close...."
"..."
"..."
After another awkward moment, Yimiao suddenly burst out laughing and waved him over:
"Come sit down, anyone who comes is a guest, besides we’re outside now, you and I both come from Celestial Profound, we should help each other."
"Uh...."
"What are you still hesitating for, find yourself a pair of chopsticks and sit down. Oh, did you bring any wine?"
As she spoke, Yimiao added a few more slices of meat into the pot, watching the red oil boil, ignoring Chen Zhixing altogether.
Seeing this, Chen Zhixing sighed helplessly.
Thinking; ’Why does the Celestial Profound Realm actually have a hotpot-eating habit, how come I didn’t... Oh, indeed there’s such a saying in the Central Domain, then it’s fine.’
Chopsticks and such, Chen Zhixing naturally wouldn’t be short of.
Not to mention having plenty in the little green bottle, even without, he could directly transform some with Spiritual Qi.
After sitting down, seeing a dozen plates of various meats and a couple of sparse mushroom types laid on the small bamboo table, he couldn’t help but swallow.
"Smells great."
"Delicious, these are all good stuff. Recently, meat chunks from the sky keep falling, I thought I couldn’t let them go to waste, so I collected and stored them up, just waiting for some leisure to set a table and satisfy a craving."
Chunks of meat falling from the sky....
Upon hearing this fresh term, Chen Zhixing’s eyelids twitched.
Chunks falling are naturally nonsense, those formidable demonic beasts daring to fly over Yimiao’s head these days probably got shot down by her, barely piecing together this legendary beast feast?
But, that being said, the food really is fragrant.....
"Eat, why not eat, I’m telling you, with this kind of high-end ingredient, if you miss this meal, you likely won’t encounter a second one in ten years."
Saying this, Yimiao fished out a slice of paper-thin, translucent meat from the pot, and devoured it in one bite.
Full of a girl’s naive cuteness!
’He... haha... if I didn’t know your background, I might really believe it.’
Rolling his eyes inwardly, Chen Zhixing ate a few bites after... it was indeed delicious!
Then he couldn’t control his hands, quickly sweeping through the various ingredients on the table.
...
After they were done drinking and feasting.
Chen Zhixing rubbed his stomach and lazily leaned back, supported by Spiritual Qi behind him.
On seeing this, Yimiao’s eyes turned crescent-shaped with a smile:
"At this age, don’t you know any manners?"
"I’m just full, being lazy."
"Ha, uncouth yokel."
"Uh...."
"Feeling discontent? I say the same to that punk Li Er."
"What about other people?"
"What others, aren’t it just the three of us?"
"..."
This is really unreasonable!
So what, she means besides the three of us, others don’t count as people?
Seemingly catching Chen Zhixing’s thought, Yimiao’s smile widened:
"You’re still young, you don’t understand. In this world, sometimes relationships between people aren’t divided by blood, legacy, benefits, or even status. Once you experience more, you’ll agree with me."
"And what is that?" Chen Zhixing curiously looked at her.
"By my will."
"Uh...?"
"I consider whoever aligns with me as my companion. If I don’t acknowledge them, even if they can bring great benefits, in my eyes, they’re just a tool to utilize... what, do you think I’m wrong?"
"..."
He felt Yimiao was absolutely right!!!
At their current level, so-called benefits, bloodlines, kinship, and legacy have become unimportant. It’s truly about who’s appealing, they are friends; if not... even great benefits can’t tempt me, can you force it into my hands?
So, what kind of benefit could make them violate their principles.....
