What was going on? Chu Feng had actually spat out a bowl of Black Lotus Glue from his mouth.
At this moment, not to mention the reaction of Xian Yushi—even Princess Lingyue was stunned.
Unlike the others, she knew why Chu Feng was able to spit out the Black Lotus Glue. It was just that she hadn't expected Chu Feng to not only have eaten it, but to have also spit it back out.
"Chu Feng, you..." Princess Lingyue didn't know what to say.
"Ahem..."
"Everyone, please don't misunderstand. This bowl of Black Lotus Glue was indeed, as you all saw, spat out from my mouth."
"I'm sure everyone must think that this bowl of Black Lotus Glue is very dirty and cannot be consumed again. But that's exactly where everyone is mistaken."
"Although this bowl of Black Lotus Glue was indeed spat out from my mouth, it's actually not dirty at all. Why isn't it dirty? Because even though it passed through my mouth, down my esophagus, and into my stomach, it was never digested."
"Why?"
"Because I used a barrier to seal it. It's like I stored it in my stomach, but in reality it wasn't damaged in any way. So it's clean—just as clean as it was before entering my mouth."
"So everyone, please don't think that just because you saw me spit it out with your own eyes, it's something I've already eaten."
"Strictly speaking, I didn't eat it. I just stored it." Chu Feng explained to everyone with a grin on his face. The only word to describe that look was: smug.
"Bullshit! You actually want me to eat something you spat out? Dream on!!!" Xian Yushi was so furious at Chu Feng that he was jumping up and down, practically on the verge of losing his mind.
Chu Feng actually wanted him to eat something he had spat out—an insult. This was the greatest of insults.
"I have a question. Why would Chu Feng eat Black Lotus Glue?" Princess Lingyue asked, and this... was absolutely a question she already knew the answer to.
Hearing this question, Chu Feng was secretly delighted. He already understood what Princess Lingyue meant.
"Master Yushi forced me to eat it. But I felt that this stuff didn't taste very good, and I couldn't refuse him, so I could only use a barrier to seal it and temporarily store it in my stomach. I had originally planned to spit it back out later."
"But since Master Yushi wants to eat it now, and I happen to have it here, I might as well take it out," Chu Feng said.
"He forced you? Why would he force you? And even if he did force you, why did you comply? Your cultivation is clearly above his. I can't understand what you could possibly have to fear from him."
At this moment, a woman with a youthful appearance but who was clearly not of the younger generation asked. This woman was about the same age as Princess Lingyue, already two thousand years old. However, her cultivation was far inferior to Princess Lingyue's, though it was not weak either—she was a Second-rank Martial Emperor.
"Princess Lingyue is well aware of this matter. I came to the Elf Kingdom this time because I wanted to obtain a Thousand-Leaf Sparrow Tail Flower."
"And Master Yushi said that as long as I ate the Black Lotus Glue, he would give me the Thousand-Leaf Sparrow Tail Flower. It's just that... I didn't expect Master Yushi to go back on his word. I had already eaten the Black Lotus Glue, but he never gave me the Thousand-Leaf Sparrow Tail Flower." At this point, Chu Feng's face was full of disappointment and sorrow, as if he had been deeply deceived.
At this moment, everyone was moved by Chu Feng's pitiful appearance. When they looked at Xian Yushi once again, a trace of disgust appeared in their eyes. They all felt that what Xian Yushi had done was truly shameful.
"Chu Feng, stop spouting nonsense! I only said you'd have a chance to get it—I never said I'd definitely give it to you." Seeing the situation, Xian Yushi hurriedly explained.
"Insolent! So you really did use the Thousand-Leaf Sparrow Tail Flower to force Chu Feng to eat the Black Lotus Glue?" At this moment, Princess Lingyue was furious, because Xian Yushi's explanation had indirectly admitted that what Chu Feng said was the truth.
