Detoxified, set the fire, cooked in soy sauce, all in one fluid motion.
Li Qianluo watched the fried sauce rat eagerly, only when Xiang Beifei finished roasting it and threw it to her did she hurriedly catch it, taking a bite with her eyes shining.
"Why does the one you roast taste different from ours?" Li Qianluo, far from being demure, devoured it ravenously.
"Roasted with heart," Xiang Beifei said.
"Whose heart? The heart of a Treasure Wilderness Bull?" Li Qianluo pressed, "The heart of a Treasure Wilderness Bull can flavor many things!"
How mismatched this conversation was.
He didn't even know how to respond to her question, so he simply didn't, focusing instead on eating his own fried sauce rat—he didn't care what others called it, he called it fried sauce rat!
Xiaohei and Erha were eating too, while Youmong didn't eat meat; it just yawned there.
"Aren't you afraid it's poisoned?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"Not afraid, I am immune to all poisons," Li Qianluo said indistinctly.
Xiang Beifei raised his eyebrows, sizing up this character.
Something reminded Li Qianluo, and she passed a wine gourd over enthusiastically, "Jade Flower Wine for you, it's brewed from the nectar of hundreds of millennium flowers from our place, tastes great."
"No thanks," Xiang Beifei said.
"Try it, mine's not poisoned! Just like the meat you roasted!"
Li Qianluo generously thrust a wine gourd into Xiang Beifei's hands, she still had one herself, taking another swig, alternating between sips of wine and bites of meat, eating joyously.
Xiang Beifei wasn't afraid of poison; with his abilities, he truly wasn't worried about toxins.
He pulled out the stopper, and a fragrance of wine wafted out, tantalizing his taste buds, and he could faintly see the carefree spirit of the wine within the aroma.
The wine indeed was not poisoned; Xiang Beifei could even discern each type of nectar used in brewing the wine, crystal clear.
As he pondered, Erha next to him cheekily stretched out a tail as if it were a paw, dipped it into the gourd, scooped up some wine, and started lapping it up.
Immediately, Erha's face showed a blissful expression, slowly stretching out his limbs, then turned entirely limp.
Erha, blissfully twirling his tail, spun around non-stop, bubbling with joy. Right there on the ground next to it, strange flowers suddenly blossomed.
"Eh? Have you seen these millennium flowers before?" Li Qianluo exclaimed in surprise, the flowers created by the Wooden Kirin were the ingredients for the Jade Flower Wine.
"Awooo!" Erha indicated nonchalantly that this was nothing, it could do much more.
"Then you're really amazing!" Li Qianluo seemed to understand Erha's cries.
Xiang Beifei kicked at Erha, who blinked innocently but swiftly dipped back into the gourd for another sip.
"I still don't know your name," Li Qianluo said.
"What an interesting name," Li Qianluo said.
Xiang Beifei didn't care, continuing, "How much do you know about the Desert Stone Cave at Bone Mountain?"
"Not much, just heard from my family about the ancient heritage left by Edge Corner Airspace coming into the world; wanted to go out and see more of the world. How about you?" Li Qianluo asked.
"Pretty much the same, heard that the ancient heritage is quite impressive," Xiang Beifei said seriously.
Actually, he knew nothing, but it didn't stop him from acting knowledgeable.
"Exactly! A lot of people from various races will be going there, everyone wants to try their luck," Li Qianluo nodded.
A lot of people from various races?
Besides the Ghost Whiskers and Meat-Winged Monster, Xiang Beifei had yet to see any other races.
"Too bad I'm lost, the wilderness is too vast," Xiang Beifei spread his hands.
"Ha, you're in luck, I know!" Li Qianluo gestured, swiftly devouring the remaining fried sauce rat, then with a surge of Spiritual Power, she cleared all the residues from her hands.
"Let's go!" She leaped into the air, waving at Xiang Beifei.
Xiang Beifei, pulling along Xiaohei and Erha, followed her.
The two quickly headed north.
Soon Xiang Beifei was surprised to find that they were heading in the direction of Wu Hou.
"You don't even know the road yet dare to venture alone into the wilderness beyond the realm. Did you sneak out of your house?" Li Qianluo asked cheerfully, "Couldn't stand the solitude, snuck out without telling the adults, right?"
Xiang Beifei glanced sidelong at Li Qianluo, why did he feel like she was a bit of a pot calling the kettle black?
But he simply spread his hands, noncommittal.
"No worries, we look out for each other! My dad says, when away from home, having another friend is better than having another enemy!" Li Qianluo said righteously.
"That's good," Xiang Beifei nodded slightly.
All the way there, he pondered about the things of Edge Corner Airspace, what exactly was that place? What existence was that place, that an inheritance caused such a stir?
Because according to Daoist Qingyang, the Dao embryo of the Human Race—also the system ability, originated from Edge Corner Airspace.
And, according to what Ye Ji and Brain Deficient had mentioned, the aura of the Wufeng broken sword that Xiang Beifei held seemed to originate from Edge Corner Airspace. Did that mean his grandfather had been to Edge Corner Airspace, which led to the powerful Wufeng being broken?
Could it be that his grandfather's memory loss in the Immortal Realm was also caused at Edge Corner Airspace?
With indirect questions Xiang Beifei inquired about Edge Corner Airspace from Li Qianluo along the way, but she was vague, not too clear about it either.
Though he didn't figure out specifics about Edge Corner Airspace, he inadvertently learned many details about the Yi Tribe. Li Qianluo said she came from the Tree Li Race, naturally appearing human-like, and had good relations generationally with those from Congji abyss, which is why she felt a closeness upon seeing Xiang Beifei.
