Chapter 21

“I really have no idea what to say about you . ” Liu Yebai shook his head and smiled . He was rendered speechless by his good friend .

However, wasn’t it because they appreciated each other that allowed them to be such good friends?

“Let’s enter the city,” said Meng Dajiang .

The two of them silently arrived at the Yufang Prefecture . It was late at night, and the city gates had already been shut . Guards patrolling the city walls . However, Meng Dajiang and Liu Yebai phased into two blurs, and gently leaped over a hundred feet high—over a hundred feet higher than the city walls! Furthermore, a faint black fog surrounded them, making detecting them in the dark harder .

Just like that, the duo silently glided a hundred feet over the city wall .

“My lord . ”

“My lord . ” On the city walls, Wang Qianfan led several subordinates to inspect the city walls . The guards were very respectful .

Wang Qianfan suddenly frowned and raised his head . “Oh?”

“My lord, what’s wrong?” a deputy asked curiously .

“Make sure everyone is careful . Don’t let the demons sneak in,” said Wang Qianfan with a frown . He felt something was amiss, but he couldn’t explain why . He was a Seamless expert who had comprehended “Force,” and was part of Yufu Prefecture’s garrison . Nobody below the Godfiend realm could escape his senses . If it really was a Godfiend or a Demon Monarch…

It was meaningless for mortals like them to stop those existences .

“Yes,” answered the deputy immediately .

Swoosh .

Meng Dajiang and Liu Yebai snuck into Yufang Prefecture City .

“The leader of the city gates’ garrison was actually an expert who achieved “Force . ” If we had been careless, we would’ve been discovered by him,” Liu Yebai said with a smile . “If we did get discovered, we can’t stay here for long . ”

“I’ve implicated you,” said Meng Dajiang .

“Why say such things between us?” Liu Yebai asked .

…

The servants of a mansion in Yufang Prefecture City were all aware that two good friends of their master had visited, and their master was hosting them warmly .

“Alright, you are dismissed,” Liu Yebai ordered .

“Yes . ” The wealthy businessman was very obedient .

Only Liu Yebai and Meng Dajiang were left in the hall . Meng Dajiang was staring at a roasted goat as he ate . Beside him was a large amount of beef .

Kacha! Kacha! Meng Dajiang opened his mouth wide and—no matter how hard the bones were—easily crushed them to pieces . He ate the meat and occasionally picked up a gourd to drink the alcohol within .

“Dajiang, seeing you eat like this has me craving . ” Liu Yebai sat there and poured himself a glass . He drank slowly and smiled . “Speaking of which, your appetite is definitely the best in Eastcalm Prefecture . You can completely finish a whole lamb and over fifty kilograms of beef and pork . ”

“Are you envious of me?” Meng Dajiang obviously gained some weight . He picked up the jar and filled his gourd . When it was full, he took out a porcelain bottle and placed three pills into the gourd .

“No matter what, I have never heard of your cultivation formulation before—becoming stronger by eating,” Liu Yebai said with a sigh .

1Meng Dajiang drank while eating .

After finishing the meat, he gained about five kilograms .

“This makes my recovery speed fast . I’ve recovered from most of my injuries today,” said Meng Dajiang . “I’ll be completely healed by tomorrow . However, I burned too much weight in the previous battle . To recover to my peak state, I still have to eat for five to six days . ”

“Eat slowly; there’s no rush . ” Liu Yebai smiled . “The earliest Meng Chuan enters the Mortal Shedding realm is May . There’s still ample time . ”

“Okay . ” Meng Dajiang nodded .

…

While staying in the manor for six days, Liu Yebai secretly managed matters . Meng Dajiang ate, drank, and cultivated daily . After six days, his weight had increased by about forty kilograms . He turned back into a fatty from his previous handsome appearance .

When his strength returned to its peak, Meng Dajiang and Liu Yebai quietly left the Yufang Prefecture City .

“What happened?” The wealthy merchant and the six servants in the luxurious manor snapped awake . They felt as if they had been dreaming for the past six days . As to what they dreamed of, they couldn’t remember anything at all .

…

On 2nd May, Meng Dajiang and Liu Yebai returned to Eastcalm Prefecture .

“We’re back . ” The two felt extremely happy looking at the Mirror Lake Meng Manor in front of them .

Meng Dajiang touched the jade box that he kept near his chest . Inside it was an Iceheart Fruit . He had exchanged for it using his years of life-and-death adventures’ credit .

“Master, Master Liu . ” The guards at the door revealed looks of delight .

A servant immediately rushed over to report . “Young Master, Miss . The two masters are back . ”

Meng Dajiang and Liu Yebai entered the residence together . It was currently noon . Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue were having lunch . They were pleasantly surprised to see their fathers returning .

“Dad, you’re finally back . It’s been almost half a year since you left . ” Liu Qiyue ran over and hugged her father, Liu Yebai, with tears in her eyes .

“I’m back . ” Liu Yebai smiled as he stroked his daughter’s hair . “Qiyue, you’ve grown taller again . It won’t be long before you catch up to me . ”

“Dad . ” Meng Chuan walked towards his father .

“I’ve been out of town for some work . I’ve brought back the lotus fish powder as well . ” Meng Dajiang’s chubby face was full of smiles as he patted the bag on his back and chuckled . “Catching the fish, drying it, and then grinding it isn’t difficult . It’s just time-consuming . ”

“Dad, Uncle Liu, I reckon you haven’t eaten yet . Come join us . ” Meng Chuan was in a good mood after his father’s return .

“Yes, let’s eat,” said Meng Dajiang jovially .

“When it comes to eating, your dad will be happy,” quipped Liu Yebai with a smile .

“You are just a small-eater . Look at how skinny you are . ” Meng Dajiang raised his eyebrows and strode into the hall .

…

On the night of 11th May, Meng Chuan finished fusing his body, mind, and technique, reaching the Perfected Marrow Cleansing realm .

On 12th May, Meng Dajiang brought Meng Chuan to the ancestral mansion .

Fairy Meng was leisurely eating some snacks as she read a book in her hand .

“Grandaunt . ” Meng Chuan greeted Fairy Meng .

“You have perfected your Marrow Cleansing?” Fairy Meng nodded in satisfaction . She took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Meng Chuan . “Inside is a drop of Godfiend Jade Marrow Liquid! Once you begin cultivating a Godfiend Body, you can consume it . You have to consume it within three months of cultivating the Godfiend Body . Past that, you’ll miss the crucial period for forging a Godfiend foundation . ”

“Yes . ” Meng Chuan accepted it solemnly . This was something the Meng family had spent nearly all its wealth to exchange for .

“Which Godfiend body are you planning to cultivate?” asked Fairy Meng . “The choice of a Godfiend Body is of utmost importance! Once you select one, there’s no way to change . Even when you become a Godfiend in the future, you’ll have to follow the original path . ”

“For example, if you choose the Flaming Divine Body, you will only be able to choose Godfiend bodies similar to the Flaming Divine Body when you become a Godfiend in the future . There’s no way to change your path,” said Fairy Meng .

Meng Chuan obviously knew .

The Godfiend body cultivated at the Mortal Shedding realm was the foundation, giving one a portion of Godfiend power .

Only by becoming a Godfiend in the future would one possess a complete Godfiend Body!

“There are a lot of Godfiend bodies,” said Fairy Meng . “There are ones with extremely strong defensive powers . They can even be called Indestructible Bodies . There are also Godfiend bodies with extremely strong vitality . One can even regrow a severed arm! There are also those with immense strength! There are also extremely fast ones! There are ones that are good at sensing and reconnaissance . Some are good at influencing an area . Every Godfiend body has its traits . ”

“And once you’ve chosen one, you will have to follow this path for life . ”

“Our Meng family has all sixteen foundational Godfiend Body formulas . ” Fairy Meng asked, “You must have read them before, right?”

“I’ve read through all of them . ” Meng Chuan nodded . The foundation Godfiend Body formulas could only be cultivated before becoming a Godfiend . It wasn’t hard for every Godfiend family clan to collect all of them .

“Which Godfiend body do you plan on cultivating?” asked Fairy Meng .
