They were precisely the Four Great Sect Masters of North Sea.
They had originally wanted to directly strike up a conversation with Yi Feng, but since it took a while for the poisonous fog to dissipate, they only dared to hang a hundred or so yards behind Yi Feng.
"The one who was just here stayed for a very long time."
The Heng Tian Sword House Sect Leader said.
"Indeed, I also don't understand what he was doing here."
The Tai Yi Valley Sect Leader said, equally puzzled.
Just as she finished speaking, she discovered that she had stepped on something. When she moved her foot away to take a look, she froze in place like an icicle.
"This is..."
"Is this a Divine Hidden Snake, an emperor-level demon beast!?"
She murmured.
Hearing this, the others crowded over to take a look, and they too sucked in a breath of cold air.
"That's right, it's a Divine Hidden Snake."
"Don't be fooled by its small snake-like appearance. Although it looks no different from an ordinary little snake, it is a bona fide emperor-level demon beast. Even the four of us combined are no match for it!"
The Heng Tian Sword House Sect Leader said in shock: "Only one snake head remains; it must have been done by that man from earlier."
"Take a look at the ground over there!"
Just then, the Sect Master of Tianlong Valley cried out in surprise as well.
Hearing his shout, everyone rushed over to see. They instantly discovered the remains of food scraps and soup broth on the ground.
Despite the cold weather, wisps of warmth still emanated from them.
"Wait, this meat, could it be...could it be Divine Hidden Snake meat?"
"And this mushroom, isn't this...isn't this a Snow God Mushroom?"
"It really seems to be a Snow God Mushroom!"
"Hiss!"
"He actually...he actually used the Divine Hidden Snake meat and the Snow God Mushroom, treasures of heaven and earth, to cook soup, leaving the remnants here! What kind of immortal chef does this!?"
Seeing the food scraps on the ground, the four sect masters' eyes widened in shock, unable to find the words to describe their amazement.
"If I'm guessing correctly, the anomalous sign that appeared in Yi Xian Valley recently was caused by the birth of this Snow God Mushroom."
"What a pity! This treasure of heaven and earth ended up boiled in soup and drunk by that man from earlier."
The Heng Tian Sword House Sect Leader had a complex expression on his face.
This was equivalent to saying that they had lost their chance at obtaining the valley's treasure.
But it was true that a powerful expert had already harvested it, so they weren't too hung up over it. After all, the strong prey on the weak.
But using such a treasure to simply make soup, then leaving the remnants strewn on the ground—such waste was something they found very hard to accept!
"Could that person have entered Yi Xian Valley just to drink this bowl of soup?" The Cang Hai Mountain Sect Leader asked, also feeling conflicted.
"I don't think so. It seems more likely he was passing by, saw the Snow God Mushroom, and simply cooked it into soup on a whim."
The Tai Yi Valley Sect Leader said, his expression ugly.
Hearing this, the others couldn't help twitching their mouths. Their hearts felt extremely uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, it seemed to be just like that.
"However, don't be fooled by these scraps—they are probably fortifying elixirs!"
Just then, a greedy look appeared in the eyes of the Heng Tian Sword House Sect Leader as he stared at the remnants on the ground and licked his lips. "Why don't we..."
His words immediately earned him eye-rolls from the other three.
"While we don't deny these scraps are fortifying, don't forget we are the leaders of the Four Great Sects. Scrounging for someone else's leftovers—what has become of us?"
"Right. No matter how powerful that person is, we can't be reduced to eating his leftovers."
"As sect leaders, we must maintain some dignity."
"Come on, let's hurry and catch up to that man. We've missed our chance at the treasures, but becoming acquainted with an expert still has its merits."
The four set off again, trailing the departing Yi Feng at a distance of over a hundred yards.
But they had just started off when they realized one of their number had gone missing - the Heng Tian Sword House Sect Leader was nowhere to be seen.
"Where did Jian Hengtian go?"
The Tai Yi Valley Sect Leader couldn't help asking.
"I don't know. He was just here a moment ago," the Cang Hai Mountain Sect Leader replied, also puzzled.
Not far behind them, Heng Tian Sword House Sect Leader Jian Hengtian had quietly snuck back to the site of the scraps.
"Dignity be damned! Who knows, eating this stuff might end up benefiting me?"
"Besides, nobody will see me anyway."
He stealthily looked around in all four directions. Seeing nobody else was around, he bent down and, with lightning speed, licked up a mouthful of the food scraps.
"Bleh!"
That one mouthful made his entire body shudder.
He clearly felt the power within him rising rapidly, and even his innate talent and cultivation base were improving.
In that moment, his eyes shone as brightly as stars.
"Hahaha!"
"This is practically an ultra-fortifying elixir! Those three fools don't know that these scraps...no, divine soup are extraordinary with just one look. Luckily for me, I saw through it all at first glance."
He opened his mouth, about to burst into loud laughter, but quickly covered it up when he remembered the other three were not far away. His face still wore a smug grin.
Then, as quick as lightning, he licked up all the food scraps on the ground until they were spotless.
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
