Chapter 748: It's so good!
The Serpent King is actually very nourishing.
Although Ning Hanyan herself had never eaten it, she had heard that even at this level of power, such an incredibly powerful demon beast king was still a great tonic for other living beings.
It's ironic, isn't it? The stronger you become, the more precious you are in the eyes of others—but only the kind of precious that they want to eat or refine into elixirs.
Ning Hanyan ate the desert spirit fruit that Gu Heng had bought. It was juicy and the flesh was very sweet. As she ate, she watched Gu Heng cut open the spirit serpent king's belly and dig out its demon core, taking its life so easily.
It will inevitably become a delicacy next.
As for the golden bird... it didn't even dare to watch this scene any longer and flew far away long ago. After all, it was also a demon beast, and it felt sorry for its own kind.
Gu Heng didn't think too much about it. He was quite skilled at barbecuing, and cooking snake soup was no problem for him either. He was determined to show this little girl what true culinary delights were all about.
Ning Hanyan sat to the side watching him busy himself.
When she saw him pull out a pot from who-knows-where, Ning Hanyan was certain that this Mr. Gu was fundamentally different from the strong person she had imagined.
He was too much like an ordinary person, in every way.
Having absorbed so much of the essence of life, it's as if the time spent cultivating hasn't made him any superior being; it's just that his strength has become extremely powerful...
of course.
It's also possible that Mr. Gu never gave up his involvement in worldly affairs in order to maintain his true self. Another possibility is that he is actually very young, but his cultivation speed is just too damn fast, so the memories of mortal life are still clear to him, but even Ning Hanyan herself thinks this idea is too far-fetched.
Have you ever eaten snake before?
Gu Heng looked at Ning Hanyan.
Ning Hanyan shook her head.
She had long forgotten the days when she needed to eat her fill of grains; it was far too long ago.
"Then you'll be in for a treat later."
As for eating snakes... she glanced at the disemboweled serpent king and looked away with disgust.
Ugh, she won't eat it.
……
"Is it tasty?"
Gu Heng watched as Ning Hanyan enthusiastically showed off the roasted snake pieces and snake soup she had made, her face clearly showing how delicious it was. He actually felt quite accomplished.
After all, it had been a long time since I had cooked. The last time I cooked was sometime in the past. After all, since I was able to cultivate myself, I relied on Manager Jin Qian to satisfy my taste buds, and whether I ate or not was irrelevant.
Although it was just roasting a snake segment and making snake soup, Gu Heng thought it should taste pretty good.
"Ok!"
Ning Hanyan nodded.
This was the first time she had ever tasted such delicious snake meat. The roasted pieces were crispy and delicious, and the snake soup was also very rich. Such a delicacy was truly rare!
This kind of monster food is especially rare.
This is the flesh of the Spirit Serpent King, a Demon Emperor at the tenth level. It's not only delicious but also very nutritious.
"Shall we get another snake to eat next time?" The little girl seemed to have a bit of a prejudice against eating snakes, but Gu Heng didn't think it was a problem. As long as it tasted good, he could eat any ingredient, even a scorpion and a centipede...
"This...can we talk about it later?"
Ning Hanyan thought for a moment.
She actually felt sorry for the Serpent King, who was captured, roasted, and then eaten by Mr. Gu.
This is worse than killing it outright.
But it's so delicious!
Ning Hanyan was still hesitant about whether to eat snake again next time, after all, the Spirit Serpent King was not available everywhere, and she might not be able to eat such a delicious thing again.
"If you want to try something new again, don't hesitate to tell me."
Gu Heng patted his chest and assured her, while Ning Hanyan hesitated only slightly before saying, "Aren't I a maid? Shouldn't I be the one serving you?" "Why are you taking care of me now?"
"Oh dear, I didn't really make you my maid. It's just an excuse to give you a title to keep by my side."
He wasn't that heartless to have such a young girl, who barely reached his chest, serving him, but Ning Hanyan clearly took it seriously.
Well, let's take this opportunity to clarify things.
"Oh……"
For some reason, Gu Heng felt that Ning Hanyan's eyes held a hint of disappointment.
"Golden Bird, you must eat meat too, right?"
Gu Heng looked at the golden bird circling in the sky and called out to it.
"No, no, Mr. Gu, you don't need to consider me. I like to eat raw meat, not cooked meat."
"Tch, the way you're speaking like a human being now, I thought you were almost human." Gu Heng scoffed.
Seeing Mr. Gu mocking it like this, the golden bird couldn't help but smile apologetically. It wasn't that it didn't like cooked meat, but seeing the Spirit Serpent King, whose strength was equal to its own, being roasted like that, the golden bird still felt a chill in its heart.
It really can't eat it, otherwise the thought that it might end up like that one day makes it feel terrible.
It's normal for monsters to fight and devour each other, isn't it?
But the golden bird felt that it had been guarding Ning Hanyan's garden for too long and was no longer so fierce.
"Take your time eating. I'll go back to town and see if I can find us an inn to stay in for the night."
Gu Heng had no intention of listening to the Golden Bird. He was waiting in this godforsaken place for things to take a turn for the better. It wasn't that he lacked patience, but for the Golden Bird, waiting for hundreds of years might only be a fleeting moment. Gu Heng, however, was not that old.
For him, if there is no change after four or five days, he would rather take a risk and take the initiative!
"Uh-huh!"
Ning Hanyan's attention was entirely focused on the roasted snake segments and snake soup in front of her.
She had no intention of leaving anything for Gu Heng.
If he doesn't eat it, then don't blame her for showing it off all at once!
……
Hua Yeli is in a very bad mood right now.
It wasn't that her benefactor's death made her particularly sad—she was certainly sad—but if Ning Hanyan were still alive, she wouldn't want to be depressed because of a dead person.
The road ahead is still long, but she will have to walk it alone from now on.
So now is not really a good time to receive guests, but unfortunately, uninvited guests always arrive uninvited.
Moreover, the strength of this "guest" made Hua Yeli hesitant to act rashly.
"who are you?"
In the main hall of the Flower Extreme Sect, Hua Yeli was tense as she watched the mysterious man wearing a bamboo hat and a hemp robe walking towards her from below.
“My name is Tian Huazi. I am not from the Demon Realm. Sect Master Hua, please do not worry. I have come here with no hostility, only to make a suggestion.”
Tianhuazi looked at Hua Yeli, then took off his bamboo hat, revealing a face that seemed quite ordinary.
"...If you killed the Flame Demon Emperor, didn't you?"
Hua Yeli raised an eyebrow, looking at the mysterious man who called himself Tian Huazi.
Although she was unsure of the man's strength, the fact that he was able to enter the main hall of the Flower Extreme Sect without being detected suggested that he must be extremely powerful.
and.
This guy doesn't belong to the Demon Realm. If the death of the Flame Demon Emperor were to cause such a stir, everyone would say it was a cultivator from outside the Demon Realm who killed him.
Hua Yeli didn't expect this.
This guy actually came to me.
