"Master, the al is all ready, let’s all take our seats," Dugu Qianye announced as she brought the last dish to the table. Seeing that Shi Honggui and the other two had arrived, she called out to them.
With Dugu Qianye’s invitation, as soon as Shi Honggui and his two companions were seated, Hao Pengyou and Pei Shaonan hurriedly took their seats and started eating eagerly.
Fen Qingran and Yin Lang were slower in their actions, but they were still much keener than usual. With delicious food in front of them, who cared about manners?
"Wow, it slls amazing! I wonder if I can also snag a al?"
Just as Dugu Qianye had finished tidying up the kitchen and was about to take her seat, she heard a woman’s voice coming from over the wall.
Everyone looked over to see that it was the City Lord of Mushroom City. Fo Qingyuan jumped down from the wall and went straight to Dugu Qianye’s seat, picking up the chopsticks and starting to eat.
"Er, Phoenix City Lord, how co you climbed in over the wall?" Pei Shaonan asked.
"Mmm, delicious!" After taking a bite of Jade Green Silk, Fo Qingyuan replied, "It’s the old man’s birthday today, right? I only rushed back tonight, and seeing how lively it was out front, I was too embarrassed to go there. Knowing the old man’s temperant, he certainly wouldn’t be in the main area, so I ca here. I’m starving to death. Old man, here’s your birthday gift."
Fo Qingyuan tossed a jade box into the hands of Shi Honggui sitting across from her, then buried her head and resud eating.
Dugu Qianye pulled up another stool for herself and sat next to Fo Qingyuan. It wasn’t that she didn’t respect seniority, but her seat was the only one available.
Who would have thought that the City Lord of Mushroom City would turn out to be a woman, and a stunningly seductive one at that!
"Wow, you even have mushrooms! What kind of mushrooms are these? I’ve never had them before." After taking a sip of mushroom and shredded chicken congee, Fo Qingyuan exclaid in surprise, "I can’t believe you cooked the mushrooms into rice like this, wow, you’re really talented! I should replace my chefs; their mushroom dishes are the sa every day, and I’m sick of it. Old man, can you lend your precious disciple to ?"
Sweat... She’s not an object, okay, not sothing you can just borrow!
"She’s busy," Shi Honggui said without looking up.
"Is it because of the challenge in 10 days?" Fo Qingyuan asked, grabbing a chicken foot and nibbling on it.
"Didn’t you just get back? You’re pretty quick to catch up on the news," Liao Bing said.
"Who am I? The almighty Fo Qingyuan, there’s nothing I’m not capable of. There’s nothing happening in my Mushroom City that I don’t know about!" Fo Qingyuan boasted.
"More like the thickest-skinned person in heaven and on earth!" Hao Pengyou teased.
"Hey, hey, hey, are you saying you want to et my cousin?" Fo Qingyuan challenged.
"No way, no way, leave your cousin for soone else," Hao Pengyou quickly shook his head. Fo Qingyuan’s cousin was an oddball among oddballs, having t him once and then insisting on marrying no one but him, which had driven him to stay away from Mushroom City for years. Shaking his head to rid himself of that unpleasant mory, he quickly added, "Who doesn’t know that the Phoenix City Lord has boundless magical powers and vast abilities!"
"Hmm, that’s more like it," Fo Qingyuan huffed, "But, young lady, you’re challenging Bai Xinyan, who can now ta level 5 Super Divine Beasts. Even if you use all the strength you have, you might not be able to beat him. I guess you’re not even a fraction of his age, are you?"
"Cough cough." Dugu Qianye choked on Fo Qingyuan’s words and coughed several tis.
Having finished a chicken claw, Fo Qingyuan grabbed a pig’s trotter to gnaw on and said, "Judging by your reaction, I knew I guessed right. Young people are prone to impulsiveness, but you should still consider the consequences. Seeing how delicious the food you made is, I’ll tell you—he was already preparing to break through to level 5 two years ago, so now he might already be capable of taming level 6 Super Divine Beasts."
Fo Qingyuan’s words made the atmosphere at the table sowhat somber, everyone looking at Dugu Qianye with worry. However, she confidently smiled and said, "I understand, thank you Phoenix City Lord for informing ."
Although Dugu Qianye was very confident, everyone else continued to worry. This concern would only end after the competition finished.
After dinner, Nangong Xing and Lian i returned to their respective lodgings, Fo Qingyuan went back to her City Lord’s Mansion, and Dugu Qianye cleaned up the things and went to rest.
The next day Dugu Qianye had to go and capture a Super Divine Beast. Because the required level was very high, capturing a Super Divine Beast was not that easy. So she inford Shi Honggui and then prepared to go to a mountain range on Spirit Void Continent to capture a Super Divine Beast.
When Hao Pengyou and the others learned she was going to capture a Super Divine Beast, they all requested to go together. Considering how they were more familiar with Spirit Void Continent than she was, she agreed. Then the five of them embarked on a journey to Yanzi Mountain, the largest mountain range on Spirit Void Continent.
Yanzi Mountain was sowhat similar to Cangmang Mountain on Xuanyue Continent; both were the largest and longest mountain ranges on the continent, with higher-level beasts living within them, making them more dangerous.
Of course, this was only the case for others. With the strength of Dugu Qianye and her four companions, or rather, the strength of their beasts, Yanzi Mountain was not too dangerous.
"Senior brother, go find the Spiritual Beasts you want, I’ll ta them for you as a gift," she said.
With Dugu Qianye’s assurance, Fen Qingran and the others went to capture their desired Spiritual Beasts. To ensure safety, they did not split up, sweeping through Yanzi Mountain together.
Soon, a Super Divine Beast was caught—it was a Four-winged Swan, a level 5 Super Divine Beast, that Pei Shaonan wanted. After capturing the Four-winged Swan, Dugu Qianye tad it right there. Before she started, everyone wanted to stop her; after all, an 18-year-old Beast Taming Grandmaster sounded implausible.
"When have I ever done sothing I wasn’t sure of?" Dugu Qianye retorted. "I wouldn’t seek out danger for myself."
After Dugu Qianye said this, they agreed. Although this little junior sister was young, she handled things in a very experienced way, often making others wonder if she was an old lady who liked to pretend to be younger.
At that ti, that’s what Pei Shaonan and the others thought, until Fen Qingran ntioned that he and the master had tested her with a Lifetesting Stone, and she indeed was 18 years old, and then they believed it.
Dugu Qianye stepped forward, communicated with the Four-winged Swan, and started the taming process after gaining its consent. This could reduce resistance during the process, making taming easier.
In less than half a day, Dugu Qianye had tad the Four-winged Swan. Thanks to her increased spiritual power level and spiritual power, she could ta higher-level beasts—and for beasts of the sa level, it took less ti than before.
The others watched, dumbfounded, as Dugu Qianye tad the Four-winged Swan. Even Bai Xinyan would need at least a day to do this, but she had done it in half?
"Second senior brother, co make the contract," Dugu Qianye said.
"Alright!" Pei Shaonan ran over happily, bubbling with excitent, and made the contract with the Four-winged Swan.
After the contract was complete, Pei Shaonan looked at Dugu Qianye with a strange expression, scaring the other three into thinking sothing had gone wrong.
