Chapter 339: Changing Rumors

Sheng Xiao asked Yu Huang, “Super demons shouldn’t exist. What are your and Mentor’s plans?”

“Kong Qing has an incomparably deep dependence on Mentor. Mentor treats him as his son and takes care of him. He will teach Kong Qing to be a good person. If one day, Kong Qing loses control, I think that even without anyone saying, Mentor will be the first to purify his spirit.”

Sheng Xiao nodded. “Supremacy Lin has always been levelheaded when it comes to such matters.”

Hearing Sheng Xiao’s address for Lin Jiansheng, Yu Huang reminded him with a mysterious smile, “It’s no longer appropriate to call him Supremacy Lin.”

Sheng Xiao was puzzled. “Why not?”

Yu Huang raised her chin and said proudly, “My mentor broke through to Level 9 a few days ago. He’s Saint Lin now.”

Sheng Xiao was shocked. “A Purifying Spirit Saint? The Purifying Spirit Master who broke through to the level 9 Saint realm a few days ago was your mentor?”

“Yes!”

Amazing.

“Ever since he broke through, Saint Lin has been living a leisurely life. Let’s go and bring you to see our Saint Lin.”

“Let’s go.”

The two of them chatted about recent events as they walked towards the cave.

Speaking of the recent major events, Yu Huang could not help but mention the discovery of Prime Master Fu Tian a few days ago. “He was made into amber and chained up for three thousand years. Who would have thought that Prime Master Fu Tian, who flew to the Upper World three thousand years ago, had been secretly killed and hidden in this Broken Cliff?”

Yu Huang felt grief when she thought about the tragic circumstances of Prime Master Fu Tian’s death.

Sheng Xiao was shocked when he heard about it. “Does that mean that the dark force is secretly killing people with Divine Master power?”

“Yeah.”

Yu Huang stopped in her tracks and looked up at Sheng Xiao. “Sheng Xiao, I’m also someone with Divine Master power.”

Sheng Xiao knew what Yu Huang was worried about. He said, “After we get married, our lives will be intertwined. No one can kill you secretly. Marriage will connect us forever. If you are in danger, I will rush to you immediately.”

Because of his amnesia, Sheng Xiao did not remember that he was also someone with Divine Master power.

Yu Huang said, “The other party is very powerful. Even if you rush over, you won’t be able to save me.”

Sheng Xiao did not hesitate. He said, “Then, I’ll die with you!”

Yu Huang pursed her lips and smiled.

“Alright, let’s die in battle.”

“Yeah.”

As they spoke, the two of them finally returned to the cave.

The moment Kong Qing returned, he told him about Sheng Xiao’s arrival. After knowing that Sheng Xiao was here, Lin Jiansheng asked Kong Qing to leave the Broken Cliff and go to the forest to catch an ear rabbit.

When Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang returned, Lin Jiansheng was plucking the rabbit’s feathers by the bonfire.

Sheng Xiao congratulated Lin Jiansheng when he saw him. “Congratulations on your breakthrough and becoming a Saint!”

When Lin Jiansheng heard this, he smiled. Then he restrained his smile. “Alright, we’re all family. Don’t be so formal.”

“Alright, Mentor.”

As soon as Sheng Xiao sat down, Lin Jiansheng pushed the basin towards Sheng Xiao’s leg. “Come, since we’re family, help me deal with this lop rabbit.”

The rabbit had long been killed. Its fur had been scalded by boiling water, so it was very easy to pluck its fur.

As the young master of the Sheng family, Sheng Xiao rarely did such a thing. However, he did not complain. He picked up the rabbit and started to pluck it.

“Yu Huang, come and help too. Let’s eat the spicy rabbit tonight. I’ll go prepare the ingredients.” Lin Jiansheng’s interspatial ring had everything. There were condiments, pots, bowls, and basins.

“Okay.”

Kong Qing was busy with Lin Jiansheng. He had never eaten spicy rabbit before and was very curious about this dish.

“Daddy, is spicy rabbit delicious?”

Lin Jiansheng snorted. “Of course it’s delicious.”

Kong Qing smacked his lips. “I’ve never eaten it before,” he said.

“How do you usually eat it?”

Kong Qing said, “If I catch a rabbit, I swallow it directly.” Kong Qing recalled the taste and said, “Rabbit meat isn’t delicious. It has more fur and less meat, but its bones are very crispy. When you bite it, it’s crunchy.”

Lin Jiansheng stared at the ginger slices on the chopping board. At the thought of that scene, he felt so disgusted that he wanted to vomit.

Kong Qing continued, “Snakes are the most delicious! There is a kind of snake-shaped demon beast in the Broken Cliff. They are especially big, and they have fewer bones, fewer thorns, and more meat. The key is that snakes are especially stubborn. Sometimes, only their tails are left, but their tails will still jump. I love eating snakes the most.”

At the mention of snakes, Kong Qing was a little hungry. “Father, I’ll go catch a snake for you guys. Wait!” With that, Kong Qing ran to the entrance of the cave and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that Kong Qing had run away, Sheng Xiao asked Lin Jiansheng, “Mentor, where did Kong Qing go?”

Her mentor crushed the garlic with a knife. “He went to catch a snake.”

Yu Huang said, “I like to eat snakes. Snake meat is fresh and tender. Making soup out of it is the best.”

Sheng Xiao suddenly looked up at her and asked, “Do you like to eat dragons?”

Yu Huang immediately shut her mouth.

Sheng Xiao smiled and said, “According to the ancient records, the Divine Feather Phoenix likes to eat dragons the most. The most common way to eat is to dig out the heart of a dragon’s body and drink dragon blood raw. Then, they will stew dragon meat soup.”

As he imagined that scene, Yu Huang’s bloodline flowed faster. Her eyes were even a little red. Sheng Xiao understood when he saw Yu Huang’s reaction.

“Even if you want to eat it, suppress the urge.” Sheng Xiao stuffed a mouthful of rabbit fur into Yu Huang’s mouth. “Eat it.”

Yu Huang spat out her rabbit fur and looked at Sheng Xiao’s body with a strange expression. She suddenly said, “When you reach the Grand Master level, Black Qing will have a physical body.”

Sheng Xiao understood Yu Huang’s hint. “Why? Do you want to eat Black Qing?”

“How could I bear it?” Yu Huang blinked at Sheng Xiao. “I was just thinking about it.”

Sheng Xiao told Yu Huang, “Actually, the Black Qing Sky Dragon Clan likes the Divine Feather Phoenix the most. If our Black Qing Sky Dragon catches a Phoenix, we will make their wings into honey flavor and barbecue their bodies. Then, we will sprinkle some cumin. That taste will be… too delicious.”

“I’ll wait for you to become a Grand Master and for little Xuan Yu to have a physical body.”

Yu Huang immediately felt her blood run cold.

Lin Jiansheng was amused by their conversation. He said, “It’s in the nature of a species to desire to eat one’s nemesis, but falling in love with one’s nemesis is nature’s surrender to the soul. Have you guys heard of a legend?”

Sheng Xiao asked, “What legend?”

After Yu Huang plucked the rabbit fur clean, she carried the lop rabbit to the chopping board in front of Lin Jiansheng.

As Lin Jiansheng dissected the lop rabbit, he spoke about the legend.

“Ten thousand years ago, the Demon Beast Continent of the Upper World was not called the Demon Beast Continent, but the Divine Feather Continent. At that time, tens of thousands of demon beasts lived on the main road. Among them, there were two innate divine demon races. They were the Black Qing Sky Dragon Clan and the Divine Feather Phoenix Clan.”

Yu Huang immediately looked at Sheng Xiao when she heard the names of the two races. She said, “Sheng Xiao told me about this before.”

Sheng Xiao was surprised. “Did I?”

“Yeah.”

Yu Huang said, “It is said that the Black Qing Sky Dragon Clan and the Divine Feather Phoenix Clan are natural enemies. If a Prime Master of the Black Qing Sky Dragon Clan can swallow a Prime Master Phoenix, he will be able to break through and become a Divine Master.”

After a pause, Yu Huang continued, “Legend has it that there was a dragon in the Black Qing Sky Dragon Race who fell in love with his nemesis, the Divine Feather Phoenix. For that Phoenix Bird, the Black Qing Sky Dragon did many traitorous things. In the end, his dragon flesh was shaved off and even his dragon bone was refined into an alchemy bone.”

Sheng Xiao had no impression of what Yu Huang said. “I don’t remember anything. I might have seen that information when I lost my memory.”

Lin Jiansheng shook his head when he heard Yu Huang’s words. “What Sheng Xiao said is not accurate. If the Black Qing Sky Dragon with the cultivation of a Prime Master can swallow a Divine Feather Phoenix with the cultivation of a Prime Master, it can indeed become a Divine Master. However, I heard another version of the legend in the Demon Beast Continent.”

Lin Jiansheng said, “When I was young, I stayed on the Demon Beast Continent for a period of time. The reason I could recognize that your beast form was not a duck, but a phoenix was because I had been to the Demon Beast Continent and seen some information about a phoenix.”

So that was how it was.

Yu Huang asked curiously, “Then what’s the version that you heard?”

Lin Jiansheng said, “The first to fall in love with the other party was not that dragon, but that phoenix.”

Yu Huang was surprised. “This is completely opposite from the version Sheng Xiao heard.”

“Rumors change as they are spread.”
