The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Seeing the woman so nervously guarded, Tang Rao curled his lips and ignored her.

You're already hidden naked within a giant bird's feathers; I've seen everything, even touched it. What's the point of covering up now? It would be better for us to open up to each other, talk about life, discuss dreams, and ideally get a room for a proper chat.

What surprised Tang Rao, however, was that the woman actually had golden eyes. He hadn't noticed them before since her eyes were closed.

This was the first time he had seen golden eyes, and they seemed pretty cool.

"Where is this place?" the woman asked quietly.

"Giant Merchant Star." Tang Rao responded before continuing to roast his bird wing. It was almost done and ready to eat—the delicious aroma of meat mingled with Spiritual Energy was already wafting towards him, causing Tang Rao's saliva to be uncontrollable.

He didn't know what breed the giant bird was; he had never seen it before.

It smelled so good; he just didn't know what the texture would be like when eating it.

"Giant Merchant Star…" The woman repeated softly, a puzzled look appearing on her face—it was obvious that she didn't know what place Giant Merchant Star was.

"Damn, this taste is pretty good!" Tang Rao didn't pay attention to the mysterious woman, instead, he picked up a sectioned bird wing and started gnawing on it.

The meat was excellent, firm but not tough, and if chewed a bit longer, there was a hint of sweetness.

It was definitely a rare and excellent delicacy; Tang Rao had never tasted such good bird meat before.

"Um, could you share a bit with me? I'm... I'm so hungry." After a while, the mysterious woman called out to Tang Rao.

Tang Rao turned around.

Seeing Tang Rao turn, she seemed quite frightened, almost wrapping her entire head in the cloth she had on.

"Just come and take it yourself," Tang Rao nodded and said.

The mysterious woman hesitated at first but eventually couldn't resist. She wrapped the cloth around herself and took small steps towards Tang Rao, then took a piece of bird wing from the grill.

She ate very quickly as if she hadn't eaten anything in years.

A large piece of bird wing was gone in less than two minutes. Yes, she even ate the bones... Crunching them all up.

Tang Rao watched, dumbfounded. Damn, girl, you have some strong teeth.

The bones of that giant bird were very hard. I had to use Spiritual Energy to chop them, and even after roasting, they were still tough. And you just chewed them up? What kind of teeth do you have, damn, like a cutting machine?

"Can I... have another piece?" she asked.

"Eh, sure." Tang Rao nodded. The non-mainstream bird was huge, and there were still seven or eight pieces left on the grill, which were just from one wing.

"Thank... thank you." The mysterious woman said a bit awkwardly to Tang Rao, then reached out, took another piece of meat, and continued to wolf it down.

In about ten minutes, there wasn't much left on the grill.

Yes, this woman had devoured most of a giant bird wing all by herself, leaving not even splinters.

Tang Rao was completely dumbstruck; that one wing must have weighed around fifty or sixty pounds...

"It's so delicious." After finishing the last piece of meat, the mysterious woman squinted her eyes in utter satisfaction.

Tang Rao didn't speak, just watched her.

This woman was just too mysterious; hidden inside a giant bird, and to boot, not wearing any clothes. Of course, the most important thing was her aggressive way of eating.

The bones of the bird were extremely hard. If you stripped the bones out, they could be used as weapons! Common Spiritual Artifacts probably wouldn't even leave a mark on these bird bones.

She just crunched up those hardened bones. Aren't you afraid they won't digest? Aren't you worried about the pain when they scratch up your behind while you poop?

"So, what's your name?" Tang Rao looked at the woman and asked.

Upon hearing Tang Rao speak, the mysterious woman slightly shrank back.

"I... My name is Sheng Xuan, Li Shengxuan."

"Which realm are you from? Which Star Domain?"

Li Shengxuan looked at Tang Rao, puzzled. "I... I don't know."

Tang Rao: "..."

"You don't even know where you're from?" Tang Rao asked again. For such a "big" girl not to know her own Star Domain, that's really something.

"I really don't know, it's like, like... I can't remember anything. I only remember... being carried by a bird..." Li Shengxuan said, "Right, have you seen that bird?"

"I have," Tang Rao nodded.

Li Shengxuan began looking all around.

"Stop looking, it's inside your stomach." Tang Rao pointed at Li Shengxuan and then at the grill. "The roasted meat you just ate, that was from that big bird."

"Ah!!" Li Shengxuan screamed in shock, her whole body jolting.

With that jump, the cloth on her body slid off.

Tang Rao saw two white things.

However, Li Shengxuan was quick. She grabbed the cloth and wrapped herself again.

"Thank you, savior, for rescuing me. If it wasn't for you, I might have been eaten by that strange bird." After calming down a bit, Li Shengxuan's eyes were filled with gratitude.

Tang Rao: "..."

Uh, are you sure that big bird wanted to eat you? It carried you and hid you under its feathers, obviously it had no ill intentions. Of course, Tang Rao wouldn't say that out loud. Since you put it that way, I'll just play along.

"Hey, I'm Xiao Hei, always happy to help. Seeing that big bird being so abhorrent, I couldn't hold back and just killed that evil bird. Saving a life is nothing to me, I'm just glad you're okay." Tang Rao said with a righteous face, speaking with exaggerated integrity.

"Such high principles, I admire you, Savior. If you don't mind, I wish to follow you, Sheng Xuan. Although I'm not strong, I'm willing to go through fire and water for you." Li Shengxuan said with a literati's grace.

Tang Rao had a stunned face. Holy crap, you're following me just like that? Isn't that a bit too casual?

"Well, you see, I know nothing about you, and you know nothing about me. We're really just strangers who've met by chance. I saved you, but it was just a small effort. You don't need to repay me with your life; it's unnecessary," Tang Rao waved his hand and said.

"The life-saving grace is unforgettable, I insist, please do not refuse," Li Shengxuan persisted, looking very serious.

Tang Rao rolled his eyes. Damn it, this situation, it's getting weirder by the minute.

A strange bird, an even stranger woman, what the hell is all this...

Well, let it be, after all, she is a rare beauty. Look at that face, that figure, and oh, the feel of her, in all aspects, I reckon she's only a tiny bit less than Fang Jinxiu.

Such a beauty wanting to repay a debt and follow me, if I don't agree, even my ancestors would be displeased.

"Alright, if you insist on following, then follow. Just let me know when you want to leave," he said.

"I understand, Savior."

"Hey, come on, don't call me savior, just call me Xiao Hei."

"Okay, Savior."
