"Long Chen, you actually say the bird's nest I prepared for Fairy Qingxuan is harmful. If you don't give me a satisfactory answer today, I, Feng Xiang, swear, you will never leave Longyan Prefecture alive." Feng Xiang's face became somewhat ferocious, his killing intent undisguised.
Clearly, he was furious to the extreme. Even he rarely ate the golden-threaded blood swallow's nest, yet Long Chen said he was disgusted—how could he not be furious?
"That's right. If you don't give a satisfactory answer and slander Young Master Fengxiang like this, I, Zhao Mingxuan, will be the first to let you off." Zhao Mingxuan also stood up.
The others also stood up, clearly ready to crush Long Chen at the slightest disagreement.
Clearly, they had finally seized a chance to lose their temper—they were going to kill Long Chen.
Facing everyone's anger, Long Chen remained calm and composed, his composure so composed, that even the two Fourth Heaven Realm Kings felt admiration.
You have to understand, facing so many terrifying prodigies, even the two of them didn't dare to let their guard down. Long Chen seemed to pay them no attention at all. Moreover, Long Chen always gave them an unfathomable aura, especially the killing intent Long Chen had erupted with before. Even they were terrified, and the two of them were extremely curious about Long Chen's origins.
Long Chen ignored the stares of Feng Xiang and the others, and instead looked at Yu Qingxuan, saying, "Do you know where this bird's nest comes from?" "
Isn't it just a nest made by swallows using their own essence?" Yu Qingxuan was taken aback and replied.
"Yes, but this golden-threaded blood swallow is different. They are spiritual beasts of heaven and earth, highly intelligent. Every time they lay eggs, they spit out the energy within their bodies to form a nest, and inside the nest is its essence blood.
This essence blood is used to nurture its descendants, so there are many types of bird's nests, but the blood bird's nest is the most precious. Because of this, the essence blood is its lifeblood.
When the bird's nest it creates is taken by someone, it will continue to spit out essence and blood to build the nest, constantly vomiting and being taken away, and the nest it creates becomes redder because its energy is running low, so it can only use all its essence and blood to build the nest.
The bird's nest on our plate is the last nest the golden thread blood swift built before it died. It entrusted its entire life to this nest, because without it, her chicks could not hatch and would die.
The presence of this nest here means that each golden blood swiftlet and its young have died helplessly. Long Chen's voice was low, filled with endless emotion, evoking melancholy.
Yu Qingxuan's heart raced wildly; she hadn't expected that this precious bird's nest could be obtained through such a cruel method.
"Sorry, I won't eat this bird's nest." Yu Qingxuan pushed the bird's nest in front of her forward. Yu Qingxuan was naturally kind and couldn't accept such food.
Feng Xiang immediately felt embarrassed, and at the same time, he looked at Long Chen, growing even more resentful. This guy was just too despicable, always opposing him.
"Long Chen, what do you mean by that? In the cultivation world, survival of the fittest—are you a vegetarian who never kills?" Why pretend to be a saint here? Someone shouted angrily.
"I don't eat vegetarian, I eat meat, and I've killed more creatures than you've ever seen.
But there is one thing: I never harm kind-hearted beings. I have always believed that kind lives deserve the gentlest treatment.
The Golden-threaded Blood Swallow is a virtuous species among the spirit beast clan, living peacefully by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. They are also auspicious beasts of the world, close to humans, and even help humans when they are in trouble.
Sometimes people need to hold reverence and gratitude. If you eat their lives, they may not resent you, but the heavenly will settle scores with you. Now, though disaster has not come, blessings are far away. Long Chen shook his head.
Although the Golden-threaded Blood Swallow isn't as famous as the Butterfly Spirit clan, it is still a type of auspicious beast and a kind being.
"What a huge joke. Who in our Golden Crow clan have ever been afraid of? Kill whoever you want, eat whoever you want.
The cultivation world is inherently a cruel world. The law of the jungle is the true truth of the heavenly way. Being eaten only proves you're not strong enough—that's your fate. Wu Yang sneered coldly and sneered.
"You eat, I'm not stopping you. I'm just reminding Fairy Qingxuan that I'm afraid that after she eats, she'll feel guilty when she learns the truth."
And you? Heh, to be honest, your lives have nothing to do with me. Don't take yourselves too seriously. Long Chen said calmly.
"Long Chen, thank you so much. If you hadn't reminded me, I'd feel guilty for the rest of my life if I found out." Yu Qingxuan looked at Long Chen, gratitude flashing in her beautiful eyes.
Long Chen smiled faintly, indicating it was just a small matter, then continued eating and drinking, as if nothing had happened.
Feng Xiang and the others were so angry they felt like their lungs would explode. They couldn't eat anymore. Watching Long Chen eat and drink as if nothing had happened, they wished they could flip the table and blow the plate right in Long Chen's face. This guy was just too damn hated.
"Long Chen, how are you so amazing, knowing so much?" Seeing Feng Xiang and the others so wide their eyes were about to pop out, they were holding back their anger, while Long Chen acted as if nothing had happened, his demeanor almost making Yu Qingxuan laugh. She quickly tried to make things up.
Long Chen hurriedly swallowed a piece of meat from his mouth, chewing it three times and swallowing it too fast. Yu Qingxuan hurriedly handed the wine cup to Long Chen, who took a sip before swallowing the meat.
Long Chen smiled and said, "Thank you. Actually, I don't have much ability, and my looks aren't that great. My mother said that if you're ugly, you should study more."
Later, after arriving in the Immortal Realm, I spent some time at an academy. I tricked the dean of that academy and, through coaxing and persuading them, became their Heaven-level mentor.
Think about it, for a day-level mentor, you must have some knowledge in your stomach, right? I was also pushed to the shelves, afraid of being exposed. If I got exposed, wouldn't I be beaten to death?
So, while learning, teaching and teaching at the same time, learning at the same time, you learn quite a lot, but none of them are particularly outstanding—it's a classic case of mastering everything and being relaxed at everything. When
Long Chen spoke, he didn't stop eating, his expressions especially expressive, giving off a sense of humor and a very warm atmosphere.
Everyone Yu Qingxuan interacted with was always respectful and cautious in their words, but when talking with Long Chen, it was especially relaxed. It was as if everyone had no status constraints or any scheming in their conversations. She had never felt this before, so it was especially fun.
Feng Xiang and the others saw that the good stuff on the table had almost all been eaten by Long Chen, making it his stage for performance. Hearing Yu Qingxuan's continuous giggling, they were so angry their eyes turned blue.
"I heard someone previously commented on my turbid wine. May I show myself in person?"
Suddenly, a cold voice echoed through the world. Hearing it, Feng Xiang and the others immediately wore schadenfreude smiles at the corners of their mouths.
Yu Qingxuan was startled. She immediately understood—this was the arrival of people from the Wine God Palace. Someone must have spread the news that Long Chen was reviewing the Pear Blossom Brew. Judging by the looks in Feng Xiang and the others' eyes, it was clear they were secretly doing it. Now, the Wine God Palace had come looking for them.
Feng Xiang and the others laughed, and Long Chen laughed too. Long Chen said loudly, "I was just making random comments earlier. Please forgive any offense!" If the elders do not abandon me, why not move our carriages and have a chat? "
Whoosh"
Suddenly, space trembled as a figure appeared out of thin air. Sensing that person's presence, the two elders immediately stood up and shielded Yu Qingxuan.
