Chapter 2288: Voraciously Eating Vegetables
<>|TOC|Next->
While sitting in the restaurant, Zhou Feng ordered a table full of dishes and kept urging Zhao Hai to eat. To be honest, looking at the dishes, Zhao Hai was really drooling. Although drinking strong liquor and eating raw meat wasn’t too bad, Zhao Hai had been eating the same things for a year and was already tired of them. Now, seeing these dishes, Zhao Hai felt his saliva was about to turn into a waterfall.
Zhao Hai didn’t care about anything else, he picked up his chopsticks and frantically stuffed food into his mouth. In the blink of an eye, all the food on the table disappeared.
Zhou Feng had expected this situation, so just as Zhao Hai started eating, he ordered another table of dishes. Zhao Hai had just finished the first table of dishes when the second table of dishes arrived. Zhao Hai ate another table of dishes before feeling completely full and stopping. At that moment, the third table of dishes was served.
Zhou Feng ordered a variety of green vegetables as the main dish today. He knew that Zhao Hai had been eating meat for a year and now he couldn’t wait to eat green plants. So today’s dish was mainly green vegetables.
Zhao Hai had eaten two tables of food and was feeling much better. When the third table of food was served, he didn’t eat anymore. Instead, he picked up his wine glass, raised it to Zhou Feng, and said, “Brother Zhou, thank you. This is the most delicious meal I’ve ever had since I was born.”
Zhou Feng smiled faintly and said, “Brother, I’ve been through what you’ve been through. When I came out of there, the first thing I did was run here and eat five whole tables of vegetables. Hahaha, we were not as good as you guys back then. I heard you guys even had wine to drink, we could only eat meat.”
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, “We earned this treatment through our own hard work. It’s your fault for being lazy back then. If you had been like us, you could have had wine too.”
Zhou Feng smiled bitterly and said, “Who thought of these things back then? After we got there, we didn’t even finish our mission on the first day. All we thought about after that was completing the mission. After that, we just wanted to rest properly. Who would have thought of extra training? That would have been too much to ask of us.”
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said nothing more. Zhou Feng looked at Zhao Hai and shook his head, saying, “You’re quite the monster. Nobody else thought of this method, but you did. Do you really need to work this hard?”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and remained silent. He simply picked up his wine glass, drank another cup, and then said in a deep voice, “I’m afraid I’ll have to go into seclusion for a few days. I’ve gained a lot this year, especially my physical strength, which has increased very quickly. I need a few days to adapt.”
Zhou Feng understood Zhao Hai perfectly. He nodded and said, “I can understand. When I came out of there, it also took me quite a while to adapt to my physical strength. Alright, let’s not talk about that. You’ve been exhausted this year. How about this, after we eat, you go back to your room and rest well, and then go into seclusion. Call me when you’re out of seclusion.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Alright. Let’s do it that way. By the way, Brother Zhou, is everything alright with the Blood Knife Gang? I’ve been very worried about them.”
Zhou Feng smiled and said, “Don’t worry, everything’s fine. The Long family doesn’t dare to touch the Blood Knife Gang because the sect personally gave the order. They’re not allowed to touch you. With just one word from the sect, even if the Long family had ten lives, they wouldn’t dare to touch anyone connected to you. Alright, let’s eat something. Get some rest after you’ve eaten.”
Zhao Hai nodded, and the two ate some more before Zhou Feng bid farewell to Zhao Hai and let him return to his courtyard. Naturally, Zhao Hai didn’t need rest. To be honest, this year of training had been extremely beneficial for him. The physical training, in particular, had been crucial for Zhao Hai, fully unlocking his physical potential. Although his cells still contained a massive amount of Crazed Elephant Blood Qi, Zhao Hai was acutely aware that his physical strength was now far greater than before, at least a hundred times stronger. Most importantly, he had gained a new understanding of his body and had significantly improved control over it.
However, he wasn’t yet at the point where he needed to fully adapt to his newfound strength. His reason for going into seclusion for a while was to visit Laura and the others, return to the Tyrant Blade Sect, go to the Long Clan, and send some messages to the Battle Corpse Sect. Of course, if he had time, he would also like to visit the Blood Knife Gang.
Zhao Hai returned to his courtyard and immediately set up several formations to seal it off. This time, he wasn’t worried about being seen, because when he passed by other inner disciples’ courtyards, he saw that they also had some kind of restriction set up, some even with multiple formations. Therefore, setting up a few formations in his own courtyard wouldn’t arouse any suspicion.
After everything was prepared, Zhao Hai entered the Space. Laura and the others were already waiting for him there. As soon as they saw Zhao Hai, they surrounded him. Zhao Hai smiled faintly, hugged each of them, and said in a deep voice, “You’ve all worked hard this past year.”
Zhao Hai hadn’t visited Laura and the others for a year. He had no choice. For a year, he had to cultivate every day, and he lived with other cultivators, constantly under their watchful eyes. Under such circumstances, Zhao Hai naturally couldn’t enter his Space, as that would only expose it. Therefore, Zhao Hai hadn’t seen Laura and the others for a full year.
Laura shook her head and said, “We’re not tired, Brother Hai, you’re the one who’s had a hard time. Brother Hai, Meg made a big table of delicious food, all your favorites. Let’s go eat.” 𝘙âŊộᛒΕᶊ
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Alright, although I ate some with Zhou Feng, how can his food compare to Meg’s? Let’s go eat, and after we eat, I’ll go see Master.”
Laura and the others nodded, and the group went into the villa. Meg had already prepared a meal there, and Zhao Hai enjoyed a good meal in the Space.
The food in the Space was inherently delicious, and Meg’s cooking skills were now no less than those of professional chefs. Moreover, Meg knew Zhao Hai’s tastes best, so Zhao Hai ate most heartily inside.
After the meal, Zhao Hai led Laura and the others back to the Tyrant Blade Sect. When they arrived at residence number 52, the Yin-Yang Elders appeared. They glanced at Zhao Hai and noticed that his aura had changed, becoming even more powerful.
Looking at the two elders, Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, “Master, I’m back.” The two elders both smiled at Zhao Hai. Elder Yin nodded and said, “It seems you didn’t waste your time at the Forbidden Path Sect. Your physical strength has become even stronger. Not bad.”
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, “Master, in a month, I will go to the Blood Demon Realm for trials. The trials will last for three months. If I can come out of the Blood Demon Realm after three months, then I can become a core disciple of the Forbidden Path Sect.”
Elder Yin was taken aback upon hearing Zhao Hai’s words, then he said in a deep voice, “Core disciple? So, you passed the Forbidden Path Sect’s Heart Refining Road? How did it feel?”
Zhao Hai still felt lingering fear when he thought about his experience on the Heart Refining Road. Although he had gained many benefits from it and successfully passed it, to be honest, the pain that almost caused his soul to split apart was truly terrifying.
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly and said, “I passed, but the Heart Refining Road was really terrifying. I almost gave myself away. If I hadn’t held onto my true self at the last moment, I would have revealed my true identity. At that time, the Forbidden Path Sect would definitely have killed me on the spot.”
The Yin Elder nodded and said, “Good. The Forbidden Path Sect is sending you to participate in the Blood Demon Realm trial, and they even said that after you come out, they will make you a core disciple of the sect. This means that they already trust you. What are your plans for the future?”
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and said, “I do have one in mind, but it’s too early to say it now.”
The Yang Elder looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Little Hai, I know you are a sensible person and you do things in an orderly manner, which is a good thing. But don’t be too confident in yourself. If your actions are discovered by the Forbidden Path Sect, you will be in trouble. So I want you to remember that no matter what the circumstances, protecting yourself is the most important thing. It’s alright if you can’t find out any information, it’s alright if our Tyrant Blade Sect goes to war with the Forbidden Path Sect, so you must protect yourself. If necessary, you can come back to the Tyrant Blade Sect directly. You can reveal your identity as a Tyrant Blade Sect cultivator, but don’t drag the Long Clan into it. Do you understand what I mean?”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Yes, please rest assured, Master. I understand. Actually, if my identity is exposed, there is still a scapegoat. The Battle Corpse Sect is the best scapegoat. In any case, the Battle Corpse Sect can’t go to the Forbidden Path Sect to explain, so I’m not afraid that my identity will be exposed.”
The Yang Elder nodded and said, “No matter what, protect yourself and don’t reveal the Long Clan. The Long Clan’s current status is very important for the True Spirit Realm’s future. If necessary, the Long Clan can step up and there will still be some result. Moreover, with them as leaders, it will be easier to deal with ghost cultivators in the future.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Yes, Master, don’t worry, I understand.”
The Yin Elder said, “Your current status here at the Tyrant Blade Sect is that you are in a long-term seclusion, so no one will suspect anything. After all, it is normal for a cultivator to be in seclusion for decades or even centuries. Moreover, your situation is quite special. Because you have that land, you don’t have to worry about cultivation resources at all. So, even if you are in seclusion for a long time, no one will say anything. In addition, the sect is here to cover for you, so you don’t have to worry at all.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Yes, Master, I understand. I am not worried about my identity being exposed. I believe the Long Clan will also provide some cover for me. I am not worried.”
The Yin Elder nodded and said, “You have sacrificed so much for the sect, yet you are still just a true disciple. The sect has failed you.”
