With questions playing in his mind, Yang Zhen followed the woman to the second floor, after which she gave him a radiant smile, led him to a luxurious and grand hall, and disappeared without a trace.
What left Yang Zhen and the sly cat dumbstruck was that the grand hall was alarmingly empty without a soul in sight.
The opulent hall was decorated with glittering gold, and rare treasures were scattered everywhere, even the tables and chairs were made from the rare hardwood, the material was highly valued by artificers and was used to produce five-star, or even six-star weapons.
In the middle of the hall, laid on a colossal table, was an opulent feast that jolted Yang Zhen in surprise when he laid his eyes on it.
“Holy crap, holy crap! Dude, is this the legendary Wanhua feast?” The sly cat’s eyes grew wide, and slobber dripped from its mouth as it spoke, causing sprays of saliva everywhere.
Yang Zhen had previously heard about the Wanhua feast on East Forest Island. The rarest treasures were used to create all kinds of dishes that were not only delicious but had exceptional effects on practitioners.
A practitioner who had feasted on the Wanhua banquet could increase his cultivation speed by nearly three times in just three days. Whether it be comprehension or perception of energy, everything would drastically improve for a while. This was a meal that every practitioner in both Wanhua Island and along the coast of the East Sea coveted in their dreams.
Such a banquet would, naturally, attract a crowd of practitioners. However, it was so extravagant that even a year’s worth of crystal stones for many would not suffice for a single Wanhua feast.
Of course, the Wanhua feast was far more precious than a year’s supply of crystal stones. Many practitioners would save two or even more years’ worth of crystal stones just to partake in a Wanhua feast, all for the benefits to be gained in those three days. Whether for breakthroughs, comprehending cultivation methods, martial skills, or others work, the effects would be twice the result for half the effort.
Now, a whole table of the Wanhua feast was sitting right in front of Yang Zhen and the sly cat. Yang Zhen’s mouth was already watering, not to mention the sly cat, a standard foodie.
Regardless of whether the things that Yang Zhen casually whipped up had any cultivation effect, the sly cat was capable of cleaning every bit of it up. Let alone the Wanhua feast.
Yang Zhen glanced around and even used his spiritual sense to check the surrounding area carefully. He didn’t find anyone else present, which made the situation quite strange.
The mysterious person went to the trouble of inviting him to a full table of Wanhua banquet but didn’t show up yet. Yang Zhen couldn’t fathom what was hidden beneath the mysterious person’s motives. Could it be a test to see if he was a real foodie?
“Kid, be careful, I have a bad feeling about this place!” the sly cat said warily while scanning their surroundings. However, its four legs unconsciously moved closer to the table. It leaped onto the table in a single bound.
Yang Zhen rolled his eyes. Even a ghost would know that there was something wrong here, was there any need to point it out…
“Holy crap, shut up!” Seeing the sly cat didn’t hesitate to grab a plate from the table and start gobbling down, Yang Zhen erupted in immediate fury, slapping
it.
The sly cat’s mouth was plunged into a pot of soup. It felt Yang Zhen’s slap coming, didn’t even pull its head out of the pot, and used its hind legs to twirl around its head in a half circle, landing perfectly before continuing to gulp down the soup.
In his fury, Yang Zhen was about to yank the garbage out of the soup when he heard the sly cat slur, “Kid, there must be something fishy here. As I said, I’ll go first this time. Don’t worry, I’ll help you test if this dish is poisoned!”
While Uttering these words, the sly cat had already stuffed several plates of food into its stomach and picked up a pot of porridge and gulped down more than half of it.
“Damn it!” Yang Zhen’s eyes widened, “Were you a starving ghost in your past life?”
Seeing the sly cat’s speed increasing, Yang Zhen hurriedly dug into the table, carefully selecting dishes with a high energy content. In no time, he was salivating intensely.
A short while later, Yang Zhen looked at the sly cat with a smug look on his face, and patted his belly, reclining leisurely on his chair, and let out a satisfied burp.
The sly cat, equally unwilling to concede defeat, slapped its abdomen, stretched out on the chair showing a silly grin to Yang Zhen.
Having shared half of the food each, they turned their heads simultaneously towards the remaining soup and stared.
“One!” Yang Zhen squinted his eyes!
“Two!” The sly cat raised its body!
Before ‘three’ could be spoken, they heard the sound of the hall door opening from the side of the hall.
Both of them, the man and the cat, lost color instantly, quickly sitting upright, stuffing their napkins into their collars. One with a fork and one with a spoon, they sat there formally, ready for action.
“Thi… this…”
A dumbfounded voice came through, accompanied by a pleasant chuckle. One man and one cat turned around to look, and they were instantly petrified.
Three people entered. The one at the front was a woman wearing a long robe, as transparent as light gauze and slightly enchanting. Especially her appearance, mature with a hint of foxy allure. Her pair of ’causer of ding feng’ eyes brimming with seductiveness, made anyone glance twice at her.
Next to her, a middle-aged man was gazing at the mess on the table, his mouth trembling uncontrollably.
The little girl beside the middle-aged man was trying to hold back her laughter. She looked down at Yang Zhen and the despicable cat, her face full of curiosity.
Yang Zhen and the despicable cat exchanged glances, both turned their gazes back to the woman in the robe almost simultaneously, nodded slightly, and revealed a gentle and graceful smile, as refined as a literati.
The young woman in the robe laughed lightly, taking a seat across from Yang Zhen and the cat. Looking at them, she asked, “So, how do you find the banquet of a thousand blossoms to be to your taste?”
Yang Zhen gallantly wiped off some saliva and said with a grin, “Straight talker, I like… Oops, once again, straight talker, this food is not up to scratch, now tell me, why did you want to meet?”
The woman in the robe flashed a strange look in her eyes and giggled. The foxy allure in her eyes was as hot as the fire element of Wanhua Island. She stared at Yang Zhen and said, “As expected of Yang Zhen, a man of few words. I enjoy conversing with people like you.”
Yang Zhen pursed his lips, “I don’t much enjoy talking in circles either. If you have something to say, just say it, otherwise, all this food you prepared might go to waste.”
The woman in the robe nodded, asking, “What are you doing on Wanhua Island?”
Yang Zhen paused, counter-questioning: “You want the truth or a he?”
“Of course, the truth!”
Yang Zhen nodded: “I came to Wanhua Island to find the Eastern Desolation Emperor. I always felt I had some kind of connection with the Eastern Desolation Emperor. We could be relatives.”
“Puff!”
The despicable cat sprayed a mouthful of soup all over the table. The cat looked at Yang Zhen with a horrified face, meaning you’re really blowing your own trumpet!
Yang Zhen gave the cat a look of, “You flatter me”, waiting for the shocked woman in the robe to respond.
Answering Yang Zhen were peals of laughter, the sound seemed to pierce straight into his heart. Listening to the sound made Yang Zhen feel like he had been scratched by a cat. He hastily guarded his soul and mumbled inwardly, this isn’t good.
“You’re the most interesting person I’ve met!” The woman in the robe looked at Yang Zhen with interest, and said, “Coincidentally, I was looking for you because of the Eastern Desolation Emperor. I need your help to find something, and possibly kill a few people.”
Yang Zhen got up, picked up the despicable cat, and walked away: “Sorry, I’m a low-profile guy. I don’t like to kill or beat people. If you want to talk about love or listen to music, I may be very happy to accompany you. Goodbye!”
Behind the woman in the robe, the middle-aged man watching Yang Zhen leave was about to speak when she stopped him.
“This little guy doesn’t seem to have anything special. I wonder why the Astrology Master asked me to find him.”
“Miss, are we just going to let them leave like this?
■’Don’t worry, given his character, Wanhua Island will definitely be in chaos within three days, and he will come looking for us.”
“Yang Zhen is unconventional. Only Elder Gu and you can protect him once he causes trouble on Wanhua Island. I heard he has some ties with Elder Gu.” “Elder Gu isn’t available to help him right now. By the way, is there any other news about the Eastern Desolation Emperor?”
“Not yet, someone saw a blood-red glow on the top of Thousand Knife Mountain Peak. They suspect it’s related to the trace of the Eastern Desolation Emperor. Quite a few people have headed that way..”
