This was because the young man was abandoned in this ancient mystic realm when he was young.
(?)
He didn't interact with anyone for many years and couldn't eat decent food.
That was why the young man was so skinny and couldn't speak clearly.
"I-I don't remember my name. I only remember them calling me Lin."
"I don't remember how long … how long it's been since I came to this place. I only know that I had short hair back then. It's so long now."
Hearing that, Wang Yan was slightly stunned. Looking at the young man's waist-length hair, he couldn't say a word for a long time.
After a moment of silence, Wang Yan waved his hand and squatted down without saying a word, clearing out an empty space.
He took out the dry firewood that he had prepared beforehand from his storage ring and flicked his finger. A flickering flame appeared instantly.
He took out a cleaned chicken and placed it on the grill, turning it slowly.
All of this took less than a minute.
Seeing that the young man was still standing at the same spot with his large eyes staring at him, Wang Yan couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.
He waved his hand again. "Lin, come and sit here. We're waiting for the chicken."
It seemed that Wang Yan didn't have any ill intentions, or that the roast chicken was fatally tempting.
Lin hesitated for a long time before finally taking a step forward.
What happened next was much simpler. Lin sat timidly three meters away from Wang Yan, supporting his sharp chin with his slender arm.
A pair of large eyes stared at the roast chicken that sizzled and sizzled as Wang Yan moved.
"You haven't talked to anyone in a long time, right?"
Wang Yan didn't raise his head. He focused on turning the roast chicken to heat it evenly.
Sizzle.
The rich fragrance of the meat traveled through the forest with the breeze, spreading for ten miles.
The golden-yellow roasted chicken looked mouth-watering and made one's fingers twitch.
Following the sizzling sound, the oil on the chicken completely evaporated, turning it crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
"I-I haven't talked to anyone in a long time. You … you're the first."
It wasn't that he was a man of few words, but that the owner of the voice was completely attracted by the roast chicken.
Unknowingly, Lin's distance had gradually shortened from three meters to one meter.
Only when Wang Yan waved his hand in front of his eyes did Lin raise his head and withdraw.
His tall nose seemed to have been roasted by the high temperature of the flames. It was a little red, like a brandy nose.
With a helpless smile, Wang Yan took out all kinds of spices and scattered them evenly.
The fragrance of the spices mixed with the aroma of the meat under the flickering flames was addictive.
"Here, it's done. Let's eat."
He raised his arm and passed the roasted chicken to Lin. Wang Yan nodded with a smile.
Judging from Lin's story and the length of his hair, Wang Yan concluded that he was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old.
As for Lin, he had been abandoned in this ancient mystic realm when his hair was still short. In other words, he had been in this mystic realm for close to a decade!
From a young child, he had turned into a skeleton that was neither a human nor a skeleton!
"You, you're not eating?"
Meeting Lin's large eyes, Wang Yan shook his head with a smile. "This chicken was roasted especially for you. It's the most successful one.
"Eat it while it's hot. It'll affect the taste if it gets cold."
Lin did not know what pretentiousness was. After hearing that the chicken was roasted especially for him, he grabbed it and wolfed it down.
Seeing this, Wang Yan frowned slightly. His lips moved for a moment, but in the end, he did not say a word.
It was impossible to turn a person who was used to living like a savage back to normal in a short period of time.
The dry firewood turned into charcoal, making a series of crackling sounds.
The swaying flame changed shape constantly. Sometimes it was long and bright, sometimes it was dim and fleeting.
"Munch, munch …"
In Lin's world, there was only the roast chicken in his hand.
Other than that, nothing else existed. Everything had nothing to do with him.
For the first time, Wang Yan saw a person who was so focused on doing one thing. He could not help but admire him.
Even he, Cang Jin, who was known for being dull and dumb, did not have Lin's focus.
"Think about it. Can you remember the appearance and name of the person who abandoned you here?"
Lin, who was about to stuff the chicken butt into his mouth, heard this and raised his head in confusion. He frowned and shook his head slowly.
"I, I know you're a good person. I, I also want to tell you."
"But whenever I, I think about this, I feel very uncomfortable."
Finishing his words, Lin pointed at his head. "As long as I think about it, here, here will hurt like it's going to explode."
"So, so you can roast the chicken for me to eat. But, but I don't want to think about it. I'm afraid of pain."
Wang Yan was stunned for a moment and then felt relieved. However, he began to guess in his heart.
If Qilin was not lying, the people who brought him to this ancient mystic realm and abandoned him were all powerhouses.
Otherwise, they would not have entered an ancient mystic realm that only opened once in a hundred years. It was as if they were strolling in their own vegetable garden and they even abandoned a person inside.
From this, it was not an exaggeration to say that these people's cultivation was world-shaking.
"By the way, Ah Lin, the scales on your face that appear and disappear from time to time are …"
"I don't know either. I think … I think I was born like this."
Lin's eyes darkened. He lowered his head and did not speak anymore.
Seeing this, Wang Yan laughed dryly. "You don't have to do this. I feel that you look quite mighty like this."
"The first time I saw you, I was so shocked that I almost slipped away."
Hearing Wang Yan's words, Lin laughed out loud.
However, Wang Yan froze on the spot. His pupils constricted, and all his muscles tensed up. He nearly threw a punch!
Because when Lin laughed, the faintly discernible dark red scales on his face appeared completely.
In an instant, his skinny, yellowish face was covered with scales. It was hideous and terrifying.
But Lin did not seem to notice it at all. He was still grinning like a fool.
At the same time, the dark brown skin that was exposed to the air was the same. Dark red scales appeared one after another.
In an instant, a living person had turned into a human-shaped monster!
Maybe Wang Yan's reaction was too obvious. Lin, who was grinning like a fool, seemed to think of something. He looked down and let out a strange cry. Then, he disappeared on the spot!
But Wang Yan was so shocked that he could not say a word. Because Lin's speed was so fast that it was almost impossible for the naked eye to capture it!
He could only rely on the power of his Soul to sense the trajectory of his existence.
Moreover, there was no fluctuation of Astral Power at such a terrifying speed. He was purely relying on his physical strength.
Almost instantly, he exploded with unimaginable power and reached a terrifying speed!
Earlier, Wang Yan had felt that Cang Qing was already an outstanding talent with such an unparalleled physical body that made others sigh in amazement.
