260 Eating Meat Behind Everyone’s Back
“Take a sniff. It smells like someone is grilling meat outside.”
He Xing stuck his head out of the window, took a deep breath, and really smelled the aroma of barbecue. Du Yue would not dare to make claims, but He Xing was a professional in eating meat. He had even studied all kinds of meat before. He would know what cooking methods were used according to the difference in aroma.
He Xing took another deep breath and said with certainty, “It’s barbecued meat. There should be streaky pork, beef, and mutton… There’s also fish.”
Du Yue was speechless. Was the main point now what kind of meat they were roasting? Although Du Yue wanted to laugh, she held it in. “Who’s barbecuing meat at this time?”
Could it be that other than her, there was someone else here who also had an interspace filled with food?
However, even if someone else had an interspace like hers, that person should be hiding carefully and not letting themselves be discovered. How could they eat barbecued meat so openly? There was only one group of people who dared to eat meat so brazenly. They were people with absolute power and influence. For example, the celestial lord.
It would be a little difficult to sneak in under the eyes of that group of people. He Xing smiled and pointed out of the window. “I’ll go down from here. There’s a thick fog outside, and there’s a power outage. Everyone’s vision is blocked, so no one will notice me even if I go down. Moreover, at this time, the celestial lord probably wouldn’t think that someone would dare to climb down the wall. If I’m careful, I won’t be discovered.”
He Xing’s words were unhurried, and his tone was firm, so Du Yue could not refuse. After staring at him for a while, Du Yue nodded in agreement. “Alright, go ahead. Be careful.”
He Xing reached out to pull her into her arms and patted Du Yue’s back gently. “Don’t worry. Trust me, I’ll be fine.”
He Xing then put on his equipment. He climbed down the rope. The rope was pulled from his equipment, and the end of the rope was fixed to the wall of the room. Du Yue also checked the rope carefully. Although the rope was not much thicker than a chopstick, it was strong enough to lift two adult men.
There was no problem with the equipment, and Du Yue had absolute faith in He Xing’s abilities, so she was not as worried as before. Du Yue’s heart clenched as she watched He Xing leave through the window and move to the wall outside.
As expected, no matter how well-prepared he was, Du Yue would still worry. As He Xing slowly descended, Du Yue could no longer see his figure. When one was waiting alone, time was the longest and most difficult to endure. Du Yue stood by the bed, listening to the sound of the water flowing. She could not help worrying that He Xing had met with an accident.
Initially, Du Yue had thought that He Xing would only return after a long wait. To her surprise, He Xing climbed up the window in less than half an hour. Seeing that He Xing had returned unscathed, Du Yue finally felt relieved. Once He Xing landed safely, Du Yue immediately closed the window. “Are you hurt?” she asked.
Seeing Du Yue’s worried face, He Xing smiled and waved his hand. “No, I’m fine.”
As He Xing spoke, he removed the equipment and kept it in his interspace. After the two of them sat down, He Xing began to talk about what he had seen downstairs. “I went all the way to the third floor and found the room where the smell of barbecue came from. Coincidentally, that room is directly below ours.”
Upon hearing this, Du Yue could not help but sigh. Even the heavens were helping her! If the room was somewhere else, He Xing would have had to spend a lot of effort to find it, which would be even more dangerous. He Xing continued, “It should be a lounge. There were many people sitting there. Some of them were in charge of barbecuing meat for the group of people. There were even women accompanying them. Those women are the ones we saw on the fourth floor. When I saw them, they were coaxing the people around them while laughing. It didn’t look like they were being forced.”
