Twisted Dreams-Chapter 188 - 158: Roast Chicken and Wine
Changbai Mountain, the dining basin.
On a stone outside the Ta’er Mountain School sat a stunning beauty with a flirtatious aura.
The woman wore no jewelry; her innate charm was her greatest ornament.
Her fox-like eyes, accentuated by a beauty mark, shimmered with allure.
A true "Xiaosan" type charming fox spirit.
Yes, she was indeed a fox spirit.
Her name was Fox Xiaosan, originally an abandoned little white fox by a mistress kept by a wealthy man in human society.
Having seen much of the world, she was valued by the Black Emperor and, being quite wise, became the first Demon to consume a Transformation Fruit and take on a human form.
Her appearance was entirely modeled after her former master, who, in her eyes—the mistress from human society—was the most beautiful woman in the world.
Fox Xiaosan fiddled with the phone Ye Fan bought her from the city, right when she saw Ye Fan coming out of the school, she immediately called out to him:
"Ye Fan!"
Ye Fan turned around and replied with a slightly respectful tone:
"Immortal Lady."
Fox Xiaosan waved the phone in her hand:
"No signal."
Ye Fan scratched his head and said:
"I forgot to buy a SIM card. I’ll head down the mountain and get you one."
Fox Xiaosan was satisfied:
"Alright, when’s your class over? I’ll cook for Mr. Xiang.
Oh, and make sure to apologize to Master Liu when you go down.
Your friend Wei Ming peed on his face, and he’s still angry."
Ye Fan chuckled awkwardly:
"Definitely, definitely."
When he first came to Changbai Mountain, he also peed on that old man’s head.
...
Outside the valley, beside the creek.
Ye Fan shouted with all his might towards the creek:
"Master Liu, it is Ye Fan seeking audience!"
A cold, ancient voice came from the creek:
"Oh, it’s the Prince. What guidance do you have?!"
Ye Fan knew that Master Liu was still angry and didn’t want to see him.
This was a proud old snake.
Ye Fan cupped his fists towards the creek and said respectfully:
"I’m going down the mountain to buy some things, and I’ll also get two roast chickens and two jugs of wine. Care to join me for a drink, Master Liu?"
There was no sound from the creek.
Ye Fan blinked and playfully smiled:
"Please give me some face, Master Liu?"
Finally, there was a response from the creek.
"Hmph, come back quickly."
It was considered agreement.
Ye Fan felt that these Demons were quite easy to appease!
Ye Fan cupped his fists towards the signal and walked down the mountain.
After Ye Fan left, a massive snake head emerged from the water, its sharp triangular eyes watching Ye Fan’s departing figure with a hint of softness.
"This kid does have some conscience."
...
Master Liu, submerged, was as usual fishing at the riverbed.
Once, Master Liu ate anything as long as it was alive.
After the Black Emperor came to Changbai Mountain, he forbade the Demons from killing each other.
One ingredient was removed from Master Liu’s menu—the intelligent Demon Race.
The fish and shrimp at the riverbed were not considered Demon Race, and Master Liu still liked them.
A carp was immobilized by Master Liu’s snake tail, slowly sinking down.
Master Liu wanted to swallow it in one gulp but his mind lingered on Ye Fan’s words.
Roast chicken, wine.
What do those taste like?
Lured by curiosity, Master Liu lost interest in the delicious carp and swam away with a cold snort.
The carp, having narrowly escaped death, frantically flapped its fins and fled into the distance.
At the riverbed, Master Liu waited and waited, feeling time had never passed so slowly before.
After who knows how long, the highly perceptive Master Liu heard sounds from the shore.
"Could it be that brat Ye Fan is back?"
Master Liu’s eyes showed a touch of softness as he slowly surfaced.
"What the hell is that!"
"Such a huge snake?!"
"Is it a python? Doesn’t look like it, looks poisonous!"
Disappointment crossed Master Liu’s eyes.
It wasn’t Ye Fan, it was other humans.
Master Liu opened his mouth, and milky-white gas sprayed out, enveloping the entire creek in thick fog almost instantly.
The closer to Ta’er Mountain, the thicker the fog.
The path down the mountain had thinner fog.
With good intentions, Master Liu gave these lost people a chance to return.
Unfortunately, he was wrong.
As Master Liu dove back underwater, someone exclaimed.
"That’s a Demon! It’s a Demon!"
The shout of "Demon" made that person’s companions shudder in fear.
"A Demon... There really is a Demon in Changbai Mountain!"
"The Sect Leader said there’s a reward for capturing Demons!"
"Even a Demon’s corpse can earn credit!"
"We’re all Extraordinary, who’s afraid of who!"
Thinking about Han Hai’s promised rewards, the expressions of the Talisman Sect Disciples gradually turned fierce.
Several Talismans floated from their bodies, flung towards the river.
"Boom!"
"Boom Boom Boom!"
The continuous explosions were enough to rupture eardrums!
Master Liu had no defenses against these humans and was bombarded by the Talisman explosions!
"Hiss!"
Master Liu cried out in pain, his serpent body leaping out of the water.
Blood dripped from his snake head, his snake eyes filled with murderous intent as he stared at the Talisman Sect Disciples:
"I’ll swallow you alive!"
Seeing Master Liu’s full appearance, the legs of the Talisman Sect Disciples trembled.
"So, so damn scary!"
"Damn, don’t be afraid. No matter how ferocious the Demon, Talismans can subdue it!"
"Brothers, charge!"
The Talisman Sect Disciples mustered the courage, pulling out Talismans and throwing them continuously at Master Liu.
Master Liu hesitated for a moment.
These Talismans... were Ye Fan’s techniques.
What was the relationship between these people and Ye Fan?
Could there be some misunderstanding?
There had been such a misunderstanding before, and for Ye Fan’s sake, some grace should be given.
Master Liu shot from the water into the sky. The Talisman Sect Disciples sprayed poison, but it didn’t hit any vital points.
When the Talisman Sect Disciples launched Talismans, Master Liu sprayed poison on it, rendering the Talismans useless.
These five Talisman Sect Disciples were no match for Master Liu, and the battle ended in less than half an hour.
Exhausted of their Spiritual Power, the Talisman Sect Disciples endured the agony of depletion, huddling together, faces ashen.
They thought the old snake would swallow them whole, yet the snake stood erect, slowly slithering their way.
Master Liu said:
"What is your relationship with Ye Fan?"
The Talisman Sect Disciples were stunned, looking at each other in confusion.
One of the Talisman Sect Disciples made a decision, immediately kneeling, crying as he spoke:
"Ye Fan, Ye Fan is our sect brother!
Snake Immortal Senior, we mean no offense, please spare us!"
He was gambling.
Upon hearing the Sect Leader, it was said Ye Fan liked associating with the Demon Race. He bet that this Snake Demon and Ye Fan had a connection!
Master Liu drew near to the Talisman Sect Disciple, his massive snake head looming close to his face.
The disciple, looking up at Master Liu’s fierce triangular eyes, was so terrified he wet his pants and hurriedly kowtowed on the ground.
Master Liu lifted his head, surveying the disciples kneeling in supplication, coldly speaking:
"For Ye Fan’s sake, I’ll spare your lives.
If you dare set foot on Ta’er Mountain again, you’ll be killed without mercy!"
The Talisman Sect Disciples were overjoyed, repeatedly saying:
"We won’t dare again, we won’t dare again!"
"We won’t disturb the peace of Snake Immortal Senior even if it costs our lives!"
Master Liu, satisfied, crawled towards the creek.
At this moment, the disciple who had wet his pants, with a hint of killing intent in his eyes, signaled to his fellow disciples, then called out:
"Snake Immortal Senior!"
Master Liu turned around, his pupils suddenly filled with shock!
Before his eyes were several Talismans!
Master Liu, caught off guard, suffered a severe blow, dizziness overwhelming him as he plummeted to the ground.
The Talisman Sect Disciples were ecstatic, pulling out daggers and rushing towards the unconscious Master Liu.
The Demon Race’s corpse was enough to earn them significant rewards!
Amid the excruciating pain, Master Liu awakened, struggling but to no avail.
In his mind, a bizarre and untimely thought surfaced.
Roast chicken, wine, what do they taste like?
