C738 He Stood Aloof from Worldly Affairs
It was only at noon that Ye Feng bade farewell to the Golden Scale and returned to the ancient cave. It was rare for Ye Feng to cook today when he was free. It had been a long time since he had tasted the taste of food, so he cooked some porridge for Xi. Xi always seemed to be very interested in some fresh food, which made Ye Feng feel very gratified. After feeding Xi half a bowl of porridge, he ate it himself. The feeling of eating was different. After the meal, he happily laid beside Xi and played with her. Xi was so happy that her hands and feet started to dance.
Spring went and autumn came. In the blink of an eye, ten years passed by in a hurry. Nameless Valley, Cold Pond. A little girl who looked like she was carved from jade was sitting on a big rock by the shore and shouting, "Big brother, big brother, swim faster! Golden Scale, hurry up and bite big brother! She told him to swim so slowly. Hmph. "
His legs kept shaking. Obviously, he was not satisfied with the so-called big brother in the pond. He looked angry, while the young man in the pond was swimming back and forth.
That little girl was Xi. Ten years had passed. She had also grown up. Every time Ye Feng came out, he would bring her out. At this moment, Ye Feng had a body full of healthy muscles. Every piece seemed so perfect. It contained a powerful force, and the outline of his face was clear. There was a bit of resoluteness between his brows, and he was pulling a big bamboo raft in the water. The Golden Scale would jump up and down from time to time. It was obvious that Ye Feng was exhausted at this moment. However, he was still persisting. One hundred and two hundred meters. Three hundred meters.
After ten years of hard training, Ye Feng's body had undergone a complete transformation. The strength of his body had increased dramatically. When he entered the formation space... There was a huge difference between the heavens and the earth. However, Ye Feng knew that his physique... There was still a long way to go before reaching the high grade of the supreme divine artifact. Ye Feng kept advancing towards this goal. He tried his best.
From the young man who was comparable to an A Half Step to Sovereign back then, to an expert whose physique was close to the peak of the supreme physique... Ye Feng had lost count of how much sweat he had put in, and how many times he had fainted on the way back. How many times had he been pushed to the shore by the Golden Scale while he was swimming?
A gentle breeze brushed across the surface of the water, and Ye Feng, who was in the water, had also reached his limit. He could no longer use any strength left in his body. The Golden Scale drilled into the water and pushed him out. Ye Feng laid beside the pool and started breathing heavily.
Xi ran to her brother's side and held an exquisite fruit. "Brother, you are tired. Have a fruit."
She handed the fruit to Ye Feng as she spoke. Ye Feng opened his mouth and ate the fruit. The fruit melted in his mouth and turned into a warm flow that was swallowed by Ye Feng. He reached out and gently caressed Xi's head. "Xi is so good. Go back and make a beggar chicken for you to eat."
"Oh, okay, there is a beggar's chicken to eat, hehe..."
When she heard that her brother made delicious food for her, Xi was not happy anymore. She jumped up and jogged by the pond. When the Golden Scale in the water heard Ye Feng say this, it also nudged Ye Feng with its head, meaning that it wanted it too.
In the past ten years, Ye Feng had brought it many delicious food. Furthermore, it was addicted to eating as soon as it ate. It would need Ye Feng to bring it over from time to time. Ye Feng always fulfilled the requirements of the Golden Scale.
Ye Feng prepared to go back. After resting for a while, he got up and prepared to run for the next 20 miles of the mountain road. This was already something he was used to.
"Little White!" Ye Feng called out to the mountain.
"Roar! Roar!" A tiger's roar came from the mountain. Not long later, a big white tiger ran down. It was a tiger xenogeneic from the mountain. The tiger had a pair of golden eyes. When he first found it, it was still snow white. After Ye Feng subdued it with force, he added the delicious roast meat. In the end, it was submissive and used as Xi's mount. He had been following Ye Feng for three years. Usually, Ye Feng fed it a lot of herbs. Now, there was a faint red color in its fur. He didn't know what it would become in the future.
The white tiger ran to Xi and opened its mouth to bite her. It threw Xi behind its back. Xi tightly grabbed the fur on the tiger's back with her hands behind her back. She saw that her brother had already run a distance away. She shouted from the back of the tiger, "Tiger, tiger, quick. Big brother is about to shake us off."
When the white tiger heard this, it roared and ran towards Ye Feng. Xi, who was on its back, was laughing and shouting.
Ye Feng ran very easily. He had only run less than one-tenth of the distance. He was not shirtless. Instead, he wore a yellow vest. He found this vest in the armory. It was called the Yellow Jade Garment. It was made from a very rare type of Yellow Jade Silk, weighing ten thousand kilograms. Ye Feng would wear it no matter what training he did. Firstly, it had a very strong defensive ability, and it could also increase its weight by a certain amount. It was very helpful for his current training.
While running, Ye Feng suddenly ran up the mountain. Not long later, he came down with a few pheasants. There were many rare bird mutated beast in this valley. Only this kind of pheasants tasted extremely delicious. The meat was also very fresh and tender, and there were a lot of them in this valley. Ye Feng had been fascinated by this delicacy ever since he ate it. Whenever he wanted to eat it, he would always hunt on this mountain.
He threw the pheasant towards the white tiger, and the white tiger jumped high into the air. It caught the pheasant that Ye Feng threw at it in midair. The pheasant had been tied up by Ye Feng. Each and every one of them was still very fierce. The white tiger was held in its mouth just like that. It knew that there was something good to eat tonight, so it thought about it and drooled. Seeing it like this, Xi used her small hands to pat its head and said, "Tiger and tiger are the most gluttonous. Every time, you eat the most. Now, the chicken hasn't even been cooked yet and it is already drooling. If it is like this again, I won't let you eat it. Hmph hmph!! "
He clenched his small fist and threatened. The white tiger ignored her and waved its tail before continuing to run. It clearly did not take a certain someone's threat seriously.
After returning to the ancient cave with great difficulty, Ye Feng went into the medicine bucket and started to soak. After soaking for an hour, Ye Feng regained some strength. He then jumped out. The current Ye Feng's recovery speed was much faster than ten years ago. After two hours of rest, he could basically look forward to the usual activity.
He casually picked up a piece of clothing and draped it over his body. When he walked out of the hall, he saw Xi and the white tiger playing happily. Once Ye Feng came out, the white tiger ran over to him and rubbed Ye Feng's leg with its head.
"Big brother!" Xi saw her big brother come out and ran towards Ye Feng with her arms wide open. About ten meters away in one breath, Ye Feng ran in front of Ye Feng and lifted her up. Due to the exercise just now, her little face was flushed red. She looked very cute. Ye Feng could not help but kiss her little face and said, "Xi, be good. Go play with Tiger for a while first. Big Brother is going to kill the chicken now. Can you make a beggar chicken for Xi later?"
"Okay!"
Ye Feng put her down, walked to a corner of the hall, and carried the chicken out. The white tiger obviously did not have the mood to play with the little guy anymore. It jumped and jumped, and ran out with Ye Feng.
When they came to a small stream not far from the cave entrance, Ye Feng very skillfully cleaned the pheasant. He saw the white tiger and the pheasant quietly looking at him from behind. Ye Feng shook his head helplessly and sighed in his heart, This greedy tiger.
The beggar chicken was Ye Feng's unique secret technique, even though he used to be a beggar chicken in the past. It takes true qi to wash the chicken's tendons and marrow, but even if Ye Feng doesn't use inner qi, in the past, Ye Feng did not have the mood to do this. However, after Xi could speak, because of her, Ye Feng resumed his old business and became a beggar chicken.
Although Ye Feng's cultivation base was not as good as before, his craftsmanship was still very good. Xi and the big white tiger immediately fell in love with this super delicious meat.
When Ye Feng saw the beggar chicken, he couldn't help but think of those people from Dark Yuan Sword Sect. Those people could be said to be Ye Feng's best friends, family, and brothers. They had been by Ye Feng's side ever since his debut.
"So many years have passed. I wonder how they are doing now. He really wanted to go back and see them. Sigh, now I am in this damn world with Xi. How can I go out?" Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, he said to the white tiger:
"Gluttonous tiger, if you want to eat something good, immediately go inside and take out the seasoning and spices."
The white tiger had always been very happy with this kind of errand. With a roar, it ran back to the cave entrance.
Ye Feng started a fire on the shore of the stream. In a short while, the white tiger ran out. On its back was an angry little person. Xi was clearly very dissatisfied with how Bai Hu left her behind and ran out by himself. One of her small hands tightly grabbed the white tiger's ear. It was very obvious that she was teaching this bad guy a lesson who did not listen to her words. But how could her tiny bit of strength make the white tiger with thick skin feel pain? The white tiger also knew that it was wrong. Pretending to be in great pain, it made the loudest whimper. It meant that it wanted to apologize to the little fellow and beg her to let it go.
Every time the little guy was angry with it and used torture on it, it would always use this method, and it always used this kind of behavior to ask for forgiveness from the little guy. This method had been tested and tested many times. Ye Feng had watched the man and the tiger's performance countless times. It was always like this, without any new meaning.
He took the basket filled with seasoning and spices from the tiger's mouth and started to add seasoning to the chicken. After adding the seasoning, he carefully wrapped the chicken up with large pieces of banana leaves. He then wrapped the chicken with mud outside and then placed it in the charcoal to cook it.
After putting the chicken in the charcoal, Ye Feng added a lot of matches on it. It would not be possible to cook the chicken with this bit of firepower in a short period of time. It was not the first time that the white tiger and Xi made beggar chickens for Ye Feng. They knew that they would have to wait for a while before they could eat it. Beside them, she watched her brother busy with work. Her expression was unprecedentedly focused. It was obvious how tempting the beggar chicken was to her.
The white tiger also quietly sat down beside her, waiting for the delicious food in the fire. At this time, its saliva had already flowed out. Its eyes stared at the fire without moving, just like that. Its expression was even more focused than Xi's. Ye Feng was also sitting by the side, adding some dry firewood from time to time. He did not often make beggar chickens. Even he could not resist the taste of this Purple Mountain Chicken. Not to mention the man and the tiger.
