"Of course. Dragon-clothed, royal-gowned Spirit World Masters are extremely arrogant by nature — they're always difficult to invite, let alone get them to join our Tang Clan."
"And one like you, who became a Dragon-clothed, royal-gowned Spirit World Master at such a young age, is even rarer."
"Chu Feng, you're the strongest person I've ever seen in my entire life. You're practically my idol."
"How on earth do you cultivate? How are you this powerful?" Tang Ying asked with a look of admiration.
"Can I start a fire in here?" Chu Feng asked.
"A fire? Sure, what for?" Tang Ying asked.
"To cook meat," Chu Feng said with a faint smile. He waved his sleeve, and a layer of flame formation ignited within the hall.
Then Chu Feng clenched his palm, and a fork condensed from martial power materialized in his hand.
Using the fork, Chu Feng speared a chunk of Ghost Fiend Beast meat, sat down cross-legged before the flame formation, and began to roast it.
This flame formation was specifically designed for roasting meat — the fire was fierce, and the meat placed over it cooked quickly without burning.
"Chu Feng, what are you doing? Don't tell me you're actually going to eat that Ghost Fiend Beast's meat?" Tang Ying asked with a look of shock.
"Obviously. What else would I be roasting it for? Want to try a piece? Though you can only have a small bite," Chu Feng asked with a grin.
It wasn't that Chu Feng was stingy — it was just that the Ghost Fiend Beast's meat was imbued with the energy of heaven and earth. Strictly speaking, he shouldn't give up a single bite. The fact that he was willing to let Tang Ying taste a small piece was already incredibly generous.
"Chu Feng, have you lost your mind? Ghost Fiend Beast meat is poisonous — it'll kill you!" Seeing that Chu Feng actually intended to eat the meat, Tang Ying's face went pale with fright.
"Is it?" Chu Feng examined the meat more closely and finally noticed that it did indeed contain a hidden toxin — a potent poison concealed deep within.
However, upon discovering this, Chu Feng simply opened his mouth wide and shoved a huge chunk of meat in, chewing away enthusiastically.
"Oh my god!!!"
"You're actually eating it!!"
At that moment, Tang Ying, standing off to the side, was so horrified that she grabbed fistfuls of her hair with both hands, looking as though she'd gone mad.
As for Chu Feng, he ate at an astonishing pace. That entire basin of meat was devoured and swallowed into his stomach in a matter of moments.
Chu Feng was no longer an ordinary human — in every regard, he far surpassed what any normal person was capable of. If he wanted to eat, forget this single basin of meat; even if you gave him several dozen elephants, he could finish them all.
After consuming all of the Ghost Fiend Beast's meat, Chu Feng felt that the energy of heaven and earth within his Dantian had grown considerably more abundant. He still hadn't reached the level needed to break through to the fourth rank of half-Ancestral, but the gap wasn't very large.
So at that moment, a satisfied smile appeared on Chu Feng's face.
"You— you're actually okay?" Seeing that Chu Feng was not only completely unharmed after eating all the meat but was actually looking even healthier than before, Tang Ying once again opened her mouth in astonishment.
"It's really delicious. It's your loss that you didn't try any."
"But you can't have any now, because it's all gone," Chu Feng said with a mischievous grin as he wiped his mouth.
"Heavens, you're a complete freak! Ghost Fiend Beast meat is incredibly toxic — how are you fine? Are you immune to all poisons?" Tang Ying stared at Chu Feng as though she were looking at some kind of monster.
"Stop joking around. The Ghost Fiend Beast has been handed over to you all — where's my Demon-Subduing Spring Water? Why hasn't it been brought over yet?" Chu Feng asked. Rescuing Wang Qiang was the matter closest to his heart.
"The Demon-Subduing Spring Water is somewhat special. It inherently requires a special vessel to contain it, so collecting it naturally takes longer."
"Besides, I know you want the Demon-Subduing Spring Water to deal with the witch from the Dark Night Ghost Forest. Our Tang Clan has specialized tools designed specifically for combating her — when the spring water is used in conjunction with those tools, the witch will have a very hard time resisting."
"However, filling those tools with the Demon-Subduing Spring Water takes even more time. Just be patient — I will absolutely not deceive you," Tang Ying said.
Chu Feng looked at Tang Ying's expression, and she truly didn't seem to be lying.
Besides, ever since the Tang Clan had learned of his identity, they had treated him with the utmost respect, none of them daring to offend him.
