Peak Cultivator's Slice of Life-Chapter 35: Eat

The man realized that Yi Mingxue was looking at him intensely which made him uncomfortable.

He knitted his brows, pretending not to see her but she continued to stare at him.

If this was done by anyone else, he would have killed that person right away, but this woman was too much of an enemy for him.

After a while, Yi Mingxue turned her gaze to Asher.

She said, "Master, I have met many people with bad karma. No matter how much bad karma they have, I usually don’t feel disgusted. Why does this man make me feel somewhat disgusted? Has he committed some special crime?"

In this world, she discovered many new things that were so foreign to her that she couldn’t help but ask her teacher again.

However, this was still related to cultivation, so she basically didn’t ask unimportant things.

"He is cursed, by the souls he has killed," Asher replied.

"This is actually the difference between Dao Cultivators and Bloodline Cultivators. Because Bloodline Cultivators don’t have a Dao Heart like Dao Cultivators, they’re very weak when it comes to the curses of the souls they’ve killed. The curse stuck to them which made them emit a disgusting aura and it also made their personalities even more distorted. This didn’t mean they were more evil, but the demons of Dao Cultivators were better at manipulating their evil auras. Moreover, as a Dao Cultivator, your sharper perception allows you to sense that repulsive aura more clearly. Bloodline Cultivators don’t feel it as clearly as you do. They thought he was just a cultivator who might have committed a recent massacre but couldn’t confirm it."

After hearing his explanation, Yi Mingxue nodded lightly, finally understanding that it wasn’t because of a special crime.

"But I feel like I can’t help but kill him because of his disgusting aura," she said which made Asher smile wryly.

"Well, you can kill him if you want," he said.

The man was only a 2nd Stage False Void Master. Yi Mingxue could kill him with one move. If he died, then he died. His life had no meaning at all.

Even sometimes 3rd Stage False Void Masters died in this world.

Her teacher’s approval made Yi Mingxue seem pleased.

Of course, she would not act now. Right now, they needed to eat first.

A while later, the Iron Hand Monarch finally came over while carrying a tray in his hands.

On the tray, there were two plates with two pieces of meat that were reddish-brown in color. Each was full of oil, covered by small pieces of soup leaves, complete with knives and forks.

Uniquely, they were still emitting a faint white smoke, like they were not going to disappear completely.

The Iron Hand Monarch placed each of the plates in front of Yi Mingxue and Asher.

Although he thought Asher was only Yi Mingxue’s disciple and didn’t need to be noticed, he still gave him one plate to give Yi Mingxue a face.

One of the waiters who followed him then placed a cup filled with cold juice beside each plate.

"Lady, can I ask your name so I don’t call you by mistake?" The man asked Yi Mingxue in a very careful tone.

Everyone immediately looked at Yi Mingxue upon hearing that.

They were all also curious about her name.

"Yi Mingxue..." The woman didn’t mind telling him her name.

It was a real name, not a title so some people were surprised as almost all of them usually only introduced their titles.

"Lady Yi..." The Iron Hand Monarch finally called out her name since she mentioned her name.

"Thank you for coming to my restaurant. You don’t have to pay," he said.

Yi Mingxue couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows hearing him say that she didn’t need to pay.

It might only be two pieces of meat, but without a doubt, the value was so high. For Bloodline Cultivators, that meat could increase their strength if they were lucky. Even Dao Cultivators would feel a sensation that was closer to the Dao.

She knew it just by looking at it.

"I’m not poor, tell me how much it costs," she said in response.

She had killed the Desert General and much of his treasure went to her.

The thing that was the currency of the experts in this world was the Void Crystal, something condensed from the energy of the void. Every single crystal was worth 1 Billion Paragon Crystals.

From the Desert General’s storage artifacts, she had obtained nearly 1 Million Void Crystals, which was a huge amount.

The monster had more because as a Void Monster, it could condense Void Crystals faster. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"No, no..." The Iron Hand Monarch shook his head hurriedly.

"Lady Yi, I do not look down on your wealth. This is a gift from me because of my admiration for your strength and courage. I can tell that you are much younger than me, but you are so strong, showing your unrivaled determination. Your fighting spirit has inspired my old soul. Giving you something is my pleasure, I hope you accept my gift," he said.

Everyone was very surprised to hear his words, not expecting that someone like him could treat others as the idol that inspired him.

Yi Mingxue seemed to find it strange to hear that despite the fact that she had many fans among people who loved bravery.

As she fell silent, she looked at her teacher and the latter smiled while winking his left eye at her, a signal that she did not need to think too much about this.

After that, she finally nodded to the Iron Hand Monarch.

"Okay, I’ll accept this for free," she said.

She lowered her face to the food in front of her after saying that.

The Iron Hand Monarch smiled happily. After that, he went straight back to the kitchen, knowing that Yi Mingxue didn’t want to be disturbed by him while she ate.

Yi Mingxue began to eat, cutting the meat on the plate.

When that small piece of meat entered her mouth, she showed a surprised expression, as if she had discovered an unexpected thing.

On the other hand, Asher did not show any expression. He had eaten the flesh of the Void Monster too many times. Even he had eaten the flesh of much stronger Void Monsters.

***

The Fallen Star Kingdom had an ancestor, but that ancestor was hardly involved at all in the affairs of the clan. Even he was rarely seen.

The one leading the kingdom at the moment was his direct daughter, who had the title of Sacred Star Monarch.

She was one of the two Bloodline Cultivators who possessed strength almost on par with Dao Cultivators who had cultivated the Half-Void Body to the peak.

Currently, she was standing beside a window inside the palace that was in the center of the city, gazing at the Iron Hand Monarch restaurant.

As a woman, she appeared to be only 17 years old, having long brown hair while wearing a black dress that only had a few patterns.

Her beauty was not overwhelming, but her eyes were so beautiful that when you looked at them carefully, you would find countless galaxies within her eyes.

She was thin yet her physique could easily slap almost anyone to death.

To achieve the strength of a peak expert by relying on bloodlines, relying on innate was not enough at all.

She accumulated an extremely dense accumulation which then managed to push her talent to a new level.

With the increase in talent, she made small breakthroughs in many areas which instantly increased her strength drastically.

For a Bloodline Cultivator to match the strength of a Dao Cultivator at the same level was truly difficult.

Unfortunately, this balance would still be broken after each advanced to a new level such as True Void Master.

Dao Cultivators would again become stronger.

"Miss, why do you keep watching that woman?" A woman wearing a servant uniform behind the Sacred Star Monarch asked.

"Although she is indeed very strong, compared to you, she is still much weaker. You can easily force her to flee. She may seem impressive, but most Dao Cultivators are unable to advance their Half-Void Bodies to the 3rd Stage. Those four people, hmph, except for the Heaven Valley City Lord, the other three were basically just lucky because of a special opportunity that was unlikely to appear again. Otherwise, without a doubt until now, they were still only at the 2nd Stage, hadn’t they never made any more progress in cultivation since then? They can only dream about becoming a True Void Master. I don’t believe that woman can succeed in such a short period of time."

The woman who spoke, although she was only a servant, she could not be underestimated. Her cultivation was also already at the 3rd Stage although it was quite average, not comparable to the Desert King.

Even so, she was still stronger than most people.

The Iron Fist Monarch was also polite in front of her.

She naturally did not fear Yi Mingxue. At least if she lost, she had an escape method that could overcome her teleportation.

With such great talent and strength, she was still willing to become a servant, which was of course due to the favor the Sacred Star Monarch’s father had given her in the past until she could reach the point she was at now.

Personally, she actually somewhat disliked Yi Mingxue who she thought was too arrogant.

She preferred people who were calm and humble like the Heaven Valley City Lord. That was why she made an unpleasant comment when her miss observed Yi Mingxue too seriously.

"In my opinion, she is very unusual," replied the Sacred Star Monarch calmly.

"What’s unusual?" asked the servant whose name was Lin Yu.

"Her soul, I sense two soul fragments fused with her soul. These two are something very unexpected according to my perception. I feel that she might be someone with such a big background that my background is nothing at all."

"What?" Lin Yu was frozen to the spot hearing her miss say that her background was nothing compared to Yi Mingxue’s background.

The daughter of a True Void Master saying that, in many worlds, this was considered too much.

"Ohhh..." Suddenly the Sacred Star Monarch showed an interested expression.

What interested her was when she saw Asher and Yi Mingxue eating. The latter seemed surprised by the taste of the meat she was eating, but the former, despite being just a Paragon, he did not show any reaction, as if he was just eating ordinary meat.

The woman’s gaze instantly became very serious when she looked at Asher.

"A Paragon, a Paragon," she said, repeating the same words over and over again.
