Eastern Fence Sea Region, Ferry Crossing.
Chan Guangming's purpose was to investigate the Ancient Divine Ruins, so he was separated from Su Chen.
"Aren't you going to go with your father?" Su Chen asked Chan Miao.
Chan Miao shook her head. "Why would I go?"
"Then why are you here?"
"I'm bored, so can't I come for a walk?" Chan Miao said angrily.
"Then you continue to relax. I'm leaving."
Su Chen rode Magma Tiger and prepared to go to Peacock Sea with Meow Meow.
Chan Miao hurriedly chased after him. "You're so heartless. Are you really going to leave me behind?"
Su Chen said helplessly, "Why do you like to pester me? Do you love me so much that you can't extricate yourself?"
Chan Miao laughed. "You're really shameless. Fine, to prevent you from misunderstanding, I'll tell you the truth. Actually, grandfather asked me to come and protect you. You're now the treasure of the Sacred Land. Grandfather is very concerned about your safety. Not only me, but there will also be many experts from the Sacred Land stationed in Eastern Fence Sea Region. In addition, the Sacred Land has also contacted the Martial Arts Sect and is preparing to make Eastern Fence Sea Region part of the Martial Arts Sect's sphere of influence so that the Martial Arts Sect can protect Eastern Fence Sea Region."
Su Chen's expression changed. "Really?"
"Of course, but all of this is being done secretly. The Sacred Land doesn't want your existence to be exposed too early. Not many people know that you're from Eastern Fence Sea Region. This is also a protective strategy of the Sacred Land for you."
This news made Su Chen feel very satisfied.
With the Sacred Land's protection, it seemed that he could live a leisurely life for a while.
"But it's not up to you. There are so many experts in the Sacred Land. Wouldn't it be more convenient to send a Rebirth Realm expert?" Su Chen suddenly said.
"…"
Chan Miao fell into an awkward silence.
Of course, she couldn't tell Su Chen that this was an opportunity she begged her grandfather for. Wouldn't that be completely exposed?
Seeing Chan Miao's expression, Su Chen roughly understood what she was thinking. He laughed and didn't say anything else, continuing to fly to Peacock Sea.
"Meow Meow …"
As they neared the Peacock Sea, Meow Meow seemed to have sensed something and began to meow excitedly.
Su Chen was also a little excited.
He had experienced too much on this trip. First, he had obtained the divine herb on Coffin Island. Then, he had been attacked by the Plum Mountain and barely escaped. Then, he had gone to the Myriad Demons Nation and witnessed Di Tianlong's strength. He had learned of Sheng Hai's background and even witnessed the terrifying strength of the strongest person in the Xuanyuan Continent, the Seven Treasures Heavenly Lord.
He obtained the Holy Phoenix Physique, subdued the Black Phoenix, and witnessed the rampant traitors in the Sacred Grounds. He was captured by Situ Changkong and taken to the Devil Space Mountain. He accidentally entered the Yellow Springs Realm and obtained the divine artifact, the Jade Maiden Sword. He picked up a Yellow Springs Spirit Cat and used his tribulation to carve out a bloody path. In the end, he ended up on the Primeval Island.
He didn't know how many spatial distances he had traversed and how much pain he had suffered. Fortunately, the ending could be considered satisfactory. Not only had he returned alive, but he had also reaped great rewards.
Peacock Sea, Thousand Demon City.
It was late at night. The Jade Immortal Restaurant was overflowing with fragrance and there was an endless stream of customers.
The Jade Immortal Restaurant wasn't the largest restaurant in the Thousand Demon City, but it was an old restaurant with the best reputation. It had been passed down for ten generations. The current shopkeeper of the Jade Immortal Restaurant, Tong Lixian, was also the head chef of the Jade Immortal Restaurant. She was known as the top chef in the Thousand Demon Nation.
However, Tong Lixian rarely cooked. Other than the banquets at the Phoenix Stage, she didn't accept any work. At most, she would occasionally go to the kitchen to cook a dish or two on a whim.
Just like today, Tong Lixian had just bought a new building and was preparing to open a new branch. She was in a good mood, so she personally went to the kitchen to show off her cooking skills.
"Learn from me. This Explosive Enchantress is our Jade Immortal Restaurant's signature dish. You must use the best wild Whiskered Spirit Chicken with the best ancient honey oil and cook it at high temperature for two thirds of an incense stick's time. When you cook the sauce, you must use your elemental energy to crush the spices. You must reach a level where you can't taste the granules with your tongue. Don't be stingy with your elemental energy. This old lady hired you cultivators to be chefs and gave you such a high salary, not for you to waste your elemental energy!"
In front of the stove, a petite female chef wearing an apron was shouting at the top of her lungs.
The chefs were all trembling in fear. They quickly nodded and yawned.
"Shopkeeper Tong clearly has the appearance of a sweet loli, but her voice is even louder than Butcher Zhang of the West Street."
"Shh, lower your voice. Shopkeeper Tong hates it when people criticize her. If she hears you, you're dead."
After a fragrant Explosive Enchantress was finished, Tong Lixian took off her apron. Suddenly, she heard a series of clanking sounds coming from the hall. She immediately frowned and asked, "What's going on? Are you afraid that the plates will be thrown away again?
Why are the waiters all so careless recently? Do they still want to increase their salary? "
A waiter hurriedly ran into the kitchen and said with a flustered expression, "Shopkeeper Tong, a few cultivators from outside were talking nonsense. They slandered the cultivators of our Eastern Fence Sea Region. Big Sister Yi of the Phoenix Terrace heard it and fought with them!"
Tong Lixian snorted, "That Iron Arm Bear only knows how to cause trouble. If you want to fight, don't fight in my Jade Immortal Restaurant."
After saying that, Tong Lixian rushed out in a hurry. When she saw what happened, her face immediately darkened.
The good hall had already turned into ruins. The tables and stools were shattered into sawdust. All kinds of ingredients and soups were scattered all over the floor. A few guests were also affected. They curled up in a corner with bruises and swollen faces, trembling.
When she looked again, the Iron Arm Bear was fighting one against three cultivators. It was locked in a fierce battle with the three cultivators wearing gilded soft armor. Elemental energy surged, creating elemental energy whirlwinds in the hall.
"All of you, stop!"
Tong Lixian put her hands on her waist and her ponytail swayed. She gathered all her strength and shouted.
"Rumble!"
Half of the Jade Immortal Restaurant collapsed.
Iron Arm Xiong Yi and the three cultivators hurriedly covered their ears and looked at Tong Lixian in astonishment.
This little girl's voice was so loud!
When Yi saw Tong Lixian, her face lit up with joy. She hurriedly shouted, "Shopkeeper Tong, come and help me teach these three ungrateful fellows a lesson. Let them have a taste of the power of our Dongli Sea Region's cultivators!"
Tong Lixian took a step forward and sent Ah Yi flying with a kick with her slender legs.
Her skirt fluttered as she landed safely on the ground. She clapped her hands and said, "Today's losses will all be on your account."
Yi patted the dust and stood up from the ground. Her strong body was not injured at all. She grinned and said, "Shopkeeper Tong, we have been friends for so many years. You have the nerve to take my money. Moreover, you know that I have a big appetite. The food that Master gave me is not even enough to fill my stomach."
The three cultivators huddled together with their backs against each other. They were all surprised.
Why were the cultivators in this damned place so strange? Two women. One was big and burly like a beast, and the other was petite and cute but as violent as a demon. Were there no normal people?
"Junior Brothers, don't play with them. Let's end this quickly and show them the exquisite techniques of our Wuji Sect!"
