Chapter 429: The Testy Meat
"This…" Wuhan snapped out of his thoughts, realizing he had placed a piece of meat in his mouth.
His mind stopped working when he felt the taste of the meat hitting his tongue. His mouth worked instinctively as he gulped down the meat after chewing.
"What's going on?" Wuhan looked down at the bowl in confusion. "This does not taste bad at all!"
Then he glanced at the woman who made this food. Seeing her silently eating her food, Wuhan couldn't help but doubt if Xin Yan just wanted to scare him with her words.
Not only did the food look normal, but it also tasted normal. Although it was not as good as what Xin Yan usually made, it was still better than what he ate in the Royal Palace.
'I guess she is not as bad as I thought.' Wuhan took another bite of the meat from the bowl and savored the flavor, making a blissful expression.
Wu Ping, who was about to eat, suddenly lost her appetite, seeing his euphoric expression. The disgusted look on her face was seen by everyone except Wuhan.
But no one dared to ask what was in the food, seeing her expression. They were a bit scared of knowing the truth.
It did not take long before everyone except Wuhan was done with their meals.
"Why is this so chewy?" Wuhan frowned and looked down inside the bowl. Since he was more than half done with his meal, he started to have a clear view of the materials in the stew. "Xin Yan, did you forget some bones in there?"
"Wu Ping, do you remember the thing I gave you?" Ignoring Wuhan, Xin Yan wiped her face and stood up from the table. Seeing the maid nodding, she added before walking out of the room, "Place it on the table."
Wuhan picked the bone from the stew with his chopsticks and looked at it carefully. 'Why does this look familiar?'
While he was thinking, Wu Ping placed a crystal on the table without saying anything and started collecting the plates from the table.
*Clang!*
Wuhan's chopsticks fell on the table as he realized the bone seemed familiar to the spider legs Xin Yan threw at him in the main hall.
When the two disciples saw the look in their master's eyes, they appeared confused and looked at the bone in his hand.
Just then, a static sound caught their attention. They saw the orb on the table glowing before a transparent screen appeared from it.
The screen showed the video of the kitchen where Xin Yan brought out the huge abomination-looking beast from her storage ring and chopped its certain parts to make the 'Special Stew' for Wuhan.
Ruo'er and Shisan did not know whether to look at him with pity or disgust. Ming Ye did not even glance at Wuhan, simply walking out of the room with hurried steps. Find adventures at empire
Shaking their heads, the two girls also walked out of the room. Noah patted the back of his friend before following them.
Wuhan appeared as if his world had been shattered, his mouth open, whatever was inside it fell out.
It took a while before Wuhan broke out of his trance. His eyes were no longer filled with the spark of tasting the delicious food. They were filled with despair and regret.
At this time, Wuhan cursed himself for being a cultivator. Since he was way stronger than the beast, the meat had already disintegrated and digested by his body.
Just then, he saw the look in his disciples' eyes, which further fueled his anger.
"ARRGHHH! Damn it! Xin Yan!!" Not being able to take it anymore, Wuhan screamed out loud.
Yuan Ming and Tian Heng exchanged glances with each other, seeing their master's outburst.
…
"ARRGHHH! Damn it! Xin Yan!!" Xin Yan smirked, hearing Wuhan's screams echoing through the whole sect. Ruo'er and Shisan, who were walking behind Xin Yan, shivered, seeing the sadistic expression on her face.
Noah ignored the pitiful cries of his friend and made his way towards the dungeon.
Walking down the stairs of the holding place, he opened the doors of the cells. Seeing Song Liu lying on the ground unconscious, Noah walked closer to her.
Placing his hand on her head, he channeled some energy through his hand to her. Soon, her eyes fluttered as Song Liu started to wake up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, they met with a pair of golden eyes.
Noah smiled, seeing her unwavering gaze, and waved his hand, bringing out a set of dishes he had asked Xin Yan to pack for Song Liu.
"Dinner time." Saying that Noah started feeding the girl with his own hands.
For the next few days, a salty sect master walked around the mansion, giving lectures to his disciples. Since he could not do anything to Xin Yan, Wuhan decided to take out his anger on his disciples.
Ming Ye and Tian Heng had to suffer a lot of physical and mental torture in the name of strict training.
Wuhan did not make them fight any high-ranking beasts. He just made them fight against Shisan with wooden weapons.
At one point, Yuan Ming and Tian Heng even agreed that fighting a beast was better than fighting a woman.
They even came up with a name for her.
Bloodthirsty Ice Queen!
Somehow, the day after they came up with the name, for some reason, their training became even harder. Previously, they just had to hit her once, which they failed miserably, but now they had to dodge her attacks.
The outcome was as predicted; the two of them were left on the ground with several bruises.
This continued for a whole week when Wuhan decided it was enough 'training' for them.
It just so happened that Noah came to Wuhan with a proposal for his upcoming competition.
"I made a list of events you can organize throughout a whole week," Noah exclaimed as he barged into the main hall with a small grin on his face.
Hearing his loud voice, Wuhan and Shisan, who were in the middle of discussing something, stopped talking and turned to look at him.
